At this place army officers are manu-
factured. During the Revolution this
was the Gibraltar of the Hudson, and
the saddest lesson of those stern day is
connected with its history. Here Bene-
dict Arnold, the story of whose treachary
is familiar to every school-boy, was in
command. 1t will be remembered that
he met Andre at the house of Joshua
Hett Smith, at a place now known as
Treason Hill, near the village of Haver-
straw. Major Andre was sent as the
representative of the British commander,
Sir Henry Clinton, and with the papers
and plans of Arnold secreted in his
boots was captured on the Tarrytown
road below, upon which monument
erected by the citizens of Westchester
county now marks the spot, and it is
said that the tree beneath which the
arrest took place Was struck by light
ming on the very day of Arnold's death
in London. Arnold returned from the
Ut uboNt
to the Beverly Hotel, where he was
then living, which stands a mile south
of the Garrison depot, near the magnifi-
cent residence of the Hon. Hamilton
Fish. On the morning of that eventful
oath of September, as Arnold sat at
breakfast with Alexander Hamilton and
General Lafayette, Colonel Jamison's
letter was handed him, which he hastily
perused, excused himself from table,
babe his wife goodbye and told her he
was u ruined man, kissed his baby-boy
in the cradle, fled to Beverly dock, and
ordered his men to pull off down the
river. The English man-ofwar "Vul-
ture," which lay near Teller's Point,
received the traitor whose living treason
was atoned for by the blood of the noble
and true-hearted officer, Andre. Arnold
lived long enough TO be Kissed in the
House of Commons as he once took his
seat in the gallery, and died as he de-
served friendless and despised.

The Nocturnal Cow. .

annoy me good deal The prevailing COW
for this season seems to be seal-brown
COW with stub tail, which is arranged as
a night-key. She wears it banged. The

the COW. Following at rapid gait was a
bewItching picture Of alabaster limbs and

was crash, and the seal brown COW went
home, carrying the garden gate with her as
kind of keepsake. She had plenty Of
garden gates al home in her collection, but
she had none Of that particular pattern.

devotion to flowers was specially, con-
verted the billiard-room of the Grant
regime, which adjoined the state dining
room, into an additional conservatory
there were only eleven previously-mak-
ing a fine artistic effect with the foliage
disclosed to view from the dining
through the hong windows.
When President Garfield came Ill he
re-established billiard-room. for which
his predecessor had no occasion, but
placed it in the basement, in the room
that Fannie and Scott Hayes and the
two or three little companions who
shared their studies had for school
room, their goyernness being an accom-
plished young Virginia lady. 1t was a
subject of frequent query why, with that
large house at their disposal, Mr.. and
Mrs. Hayes, who so delighted in their
children and in the sunny side of life,
should have fitted up basement school
room. Gen. Garfield, believing devort-
ly in plenty of light and air, promptly
transferred the shrine of the scholastic
deities in his new home to the cheerful
northeast chamber in the business Part
of the mansion, where the morning sun
could shine upon the bright young heads
of his sturdy boys.
Don Rockwell, the son of Col, Rock
well, studied with his own sons. Their
lessons for the day have ended at
o'clock. He holds their tutor in high
esteem and pleasant personal relation to
himself, and made the selection with
scrupulous care, calling him away from
a lucrative medical practice in Helena.
Montana, because of what he had been
told of his rare gift for training boys, rs
developed in four years teaching at
Phillips Academy (Andover) and else
where. During the present dark days
at the White House the studies of the
sons are naturally suspended, but DIR.

Destroying the Pyramids.

gret that In Egypt the hand OF the destroy

ing at u remote place like Deshoor, but al
the very scene OF NJ. Mariett's operations.
There have been removed from immediate
ly under the entrance TO the great pyramid
some four or five large stones; and this
traveler-a correspondent Of the Egyptian
Gazette-was informed, on what he could
not but regard as trustworthy authority,
that this wanton act had been committed
by order of the Khediye, the stone being
required for the building of the new
mosque which overshadows the beautiful
mosque of Sultan Hassan. When the
Government itself sets an example of this
kind, We are not surprised that IL Is prompt

a place seldom visited by tourists, and
where consequently, the marauder thought
himself safe-three camels were, during
our stay, being loaded with the square
white limeslones of the casing of the larger
pyramid. Few of these stones remain.
The upper part of the ps ramid has long
been stripped. The adjoining pyramid,
which Is so conspicuous from Helouan,
and SO remarkable from being built in two
different slopes, had till lately its casing
nearly complete. This casing is Of the
greatest Importance; and, l regret to say,
there can be no doubt that here also the
destroyer has recently been busy. Stones
loosened from the top OF the building have
been rolled down the side, tearing and
smashing the smooth surface. Three or
four large stones have also been removed
from below the entrance, which is now in
accessible without ladder. 1t is in little
known places like DashOOr that such de-
struction is most easy TO perpetrate and
most difficult to prevent. But there can
not be much diff ;ulty III watching the
great pyramid of Gheezeh."

Right Wrongs No Man.

We most certainly adhere to the principle that because man owns type and a printing press he has no right to falsely accuse any man of doing wrong; on the other hand we most emphatically claim that i. is the duty of a pub fisher of newspaper to veDtilate wrong when being heaped upon the people he is supposed to re- present, and in this connection, although the duty is unpleasant to us, we charge that Governor Fremont has acted the trangressor against the people of Prescott and Northern Arizona in bringing hls official influence to bear upon members from the various cOun, ties who have introduced mea- sures, local or otherwise, in try ing to warp their feelings against | Northern Arizona and thus secure the removal of the Capital to Tue, son, before he would cOuntenance their bills or in other words sign them whereby they would become laws upon our Statute books.-

 There seems to be~, great div ersity of opinion among the lead ing papers Tn regard to the legal ity of the arrest of MT. Goldwater but of one thing there can be no doubt that it required some pretty hard swearing to cause a man to be arrested before his bills were due while on business trip. The | Examiner professes to be aston- ished that he was released on so small bail but we are astonished | that any ball was required at all | in the case as we look upon the | act as a clear case of kidnap- ing. In the various accounts giv, en of his arrest, none as we have as yet seen but are very far from the facts. No Deputy Sher- if was present and no attempt to get out writ Of"Habeus Corpus" was made or would have been made and no attempt at a rescue was thought oi by any one.
