find the above important historic GueS-
tiOn fully discussed, and if the evidence
may be accepted, definitely settled.
| The writer of this article is Israel Put
nam, grandson of Maj.-Gen. Israel Put
nam. The evidence introduced is that
of Gen. Putnam himself as reported by
his grandson, the writer of the article.
OF the battle the article says:-
"A particular and circumstantial ac-
count of which the writer of this had
from Gen. Putnam. Having lived in
familiarity in the same house with him
about five of the last years of his life,
and attended him, | will lay be-
fore you an account of the battle of
Bunker Hill from the mouth of Gen.
Putnam himself, as follows: That he
commanded at the battle of Bunker
Hill. That he was the only one on
horseback in the battle that day. That
he rode from place to place, giving or
derS to the men not to fire Il gun until
he should give the signal. That they
should not fire until they cOuld see the
color of their eyes and the buckles in
their shoes. That they should aim at
the white jackets of the officers, and at
their breasts. That they should fire
diagOnally at the ranks so as not to lose
a shot. That the British marched up
in columns within pistOl-shOt when he
gave the signal to fire, when dreadful
vOlley was poured into the British col
umns, which strewed the ground with
dead and wounded. That the British
retire tied and formed, and marched up
the second time, when they met the
same fate as at first, and retreated the
second time, and being reinforced they
marched up, and were kept off until our
ammunition was nearly expended, and
receiving no rcinfOrcements, as was
ordered and expected, though they
were in sight, and being overpewered
by such superior numbers, he ordered a
retreat" As Il confirmation of these
statements the writer gives conversa-
ton which he overheard at the house of
Joseph Putnam, cousin of Gen. Put
nam, as follows: "Joseph Putnam
said that the British officers took pcs
session of the chamber over their heads.
That after the return from the battle of
Bunker Hill he heard them curse YOU
Gen. Putnam) bitterly. That they lost
100 officers that day" Gen. Putnam
replied, THAT it was his order and aim
to destroy the officers that day" The
above conversation took place (being
present with Gen. Putnam in the house
of Joseph Putnam, BOston) in Septem-
Der, l766."

''But what made you think of it p
Uncle Bent wished to know
"Why, l knew perfectly well that
heat expands all such substances, and
cold contracts them again; and when
they expand suddenly and unequally,
they break. And once when our class
in natural philosophy was reciting, the
teacher told us how, when the great
fire was in Boston, granite flew to piec-
es, especially if a column of water
struck them when they were hot | re-
membered it when you said Won wanted
TO get rid of that boulder; and when |
saw that the rock was quite porous, and
saw also the brush-heaps, | concluded |
would take the job"
Uncle Bent conceived sudden re-
spect for his nephew.
The respect was heightened consider
ably four days later, when he went out
to look at the completely demolished
boulder, and the following dialogue oc-
CURED:
''Well, nephew, you've got some pref
ty good heaps of stone here. I'll save
you the further trouble of taking them
away
"But | don't want you to save me the
trouble" said Wallace.
'What do you mean to do with 'em ?n
Uncle Bent asked in some surprise.
"Sell 'em !" said Wallace.
'Sell 'em p echoed the old man.
"What are they good for ?"
Good for wall-stone; especially for
the foundation of IL barn-if anybody is
going to build one right on the spot"
And Wallace turned up keen eye at
his uncle.
"You mean l am to buy them off
you ?"
''They are worth more to you than to
anybody else. But if you don't want
them, Pve talked with the carpenters :;
| know who will take them"
Uncle Bent was astonished, but not
"Well, what do you ask for 'em D.
"Mr. Wilson looked at them this
forenoon and he said they we're worth
ten dollars to yOu-he would give me
five dollars, and haul them away"
"Well, well, nephew its a sharp bar
gain you are driving with your uncle
But its all right. You shall have your
ten dollars for breaking up the rock,
and ten more for the rock now it is
broken. And Ill tell you what Come
and work for me. You may choose
your own place-in the store or in the
mill. | guess a boy with such head
as yours on his shoulders can be made

''You are too late" replied the neph-
ew. I've just engaged myself to

The Editors Easy Life.

If an editor omits anything he is lazy.
If he speaks of things as they are Beo-
pie get angry. If he glosses over or
snooths down the rough points he is
bribed. If be calls things by their pro-
per names he is unfit for the position of
an editor. If he does not furnish his
readers with jokes he is an idiot If lie
does, he is Il rattle-head, lacking sta
bility. If he condemn the wrong he is
a good fellow, but lacks discretion. If
he lets wrongs and injuries go unmen-
toned he is a coward. If he exposes
public man he does it to crafty spite,
is the tool of clique, or belongs to the
outs" If he INDUCES in personalities,
he is a blackguard. If he does not, his
paper is dull and pid.-London

1t is felt that the provisions, wisely
made by the trainers of the constitution
to preserve the individuality and equal
ity of the original states, do not apply
with equal force to territories not vet
fully reclaimed from savage sway.
There is no doubt that Dakota could be
well and economically governed, for at
least five years to come, under the ter
ritorial organization, without impeding
IN any way her development, or work
ing any injustice to her settlers. Aud
there is always suspicion, which is
natural enough, in view of the history
of some of the latest admissions, that
political intriguing and personal ambi-
tiOn are at the bottom of these urgent
requests. The Gland of the Dakota" is
a noble domain, and it doubtless has a
great future, but the country will need
to be pretty thoroughly convinced of
the reasOnableness of the petition for
admission to the Union before Congress
will be justified in granting it.

Mother shipton and her Prophecy.

Mother Shipton lived in the fifteenth
century and had great reputation rs
seer. Many persons of quality con
suited her. She told the great Wolsey
that he should never come to York 4;
and, indeed, when within eight miles
of it, he was arrested by NOrthumber
land, at King Henry's order, and
brought to Leicester. where he died
Also, she is said to have foretold the
great fire of London, the execution of
Charles !, and many notable events
concerning the reformation, and the
reignS of Elizabeth and James At the
age of % she tOretOld her death, and at
the hour predicted she died. Her name
is a popular tradition in Yorkshire,
even to-day. Her famous prophecy
was said to have been published in her
lifetime; again two hundred years ago,
for we have seen it in a book of that
time, where it was said to be copied
from an older book. These are the
lines:
Carriages without horses shall 20,
And accidents fill the world with woe;
Around the world thoughts shall fly
In the twinking of an eye.
Water shall yet more wonders do;
Now strange but yet they shall he true.
The world upside down shall be,
And gold be found at the root of a tree.
Through the hills man shall ride
And horse be at his side.
Under water men shall walk.
Shall ride shall sleep, shall talk;
In the air men shall be seen
In white, in black in green;
Iron in water shall float

latter watched the performance in an
absent-miRied sort Of way. Then
things began d get lively. The con
dactors and drivers Of the first three
ears came up and had . swearing bee,
the audience consisting Of tbe mule, the
IriShman, lwo women, seven men and
twenty boys. IL wa 8 sympathetic au-
dience, the boys especially ~testifying
their appreciation of the efforts OF the
drivers by frequent and encouraging
.-hi-hi's-"
About this time the scene had become
truly animating. and q Necs reporter,
a lot of laborers, several other women,
two Cinnamon. and q hundred or so
more boys from school, made the tout
ensemble complete. From the windows
of every house in the block fair women
and brave men looked down approx
ingly at the inspiring scene, and the
procession, which was headed by that
mule and coal cart, and which extended
down To Washington square-nearly
one-third of n mile-promised a really
splendid effect when that Irishman gave
the command TO move. But he didn't
seem to appreciate the condition of af-
fairs, and he worked right ahead, cheer
fully whistling Rory OMore."
Finally a policeman arrived with n
rush-he was moving at the frantic pace
of q mile an hour-to see what the row
was all about. But It's greatly TO his
credit that he soon found out.
Take away that wagon" said the
policeman, in his sternest and mo au-
thoritative tones.
"An' be me sowl l can't lift the wag-
on, can IP" said the Irishman.
And the crowd yelled with delight.
while the Netcs man suggested hat that
was the mules business. And SO they
all went to work. The policeman and

patted him on the head and bowed in
response to a compliment about send

profound satisfaction that master and
mule realized t.se fact thai the combined
efforts OF their cnrsnics had placed the
wagon in the very spot wi,crc it was
wanted.

MIKE AND HIS MULE.


Mans Baltic with a strset-Car Line.
Philadelphia Evening News.
Recently during a heavy snow storm
n jolly old Irishman drove around from
Eleventh street into Walnut, and stop
ped his loaded coal-wagon on the car
track in front of the house for which the
roal was ordered. There was a ridge
Of sno from two to three feet high on
each side of the street-car rails. extend
ing to the sidewalk, and to back the
eoal-wagon in over that frozen mass of
snow vas an obvious imp~ossibility.
The Irishman surveyed the scene for a
moment, and then, grasping the coal
shovel which lay on the top of the load.
he went vigorously to work to shovel
out a sort of cut in the miniature noun
tain of snow through which to back his
load to the sidewalk. He had not been
thus engaged Two minutes before a
street-car came up.
'.Drive that wagon out of the way"
shouted the driver of the street-car.
The Irishman continued TO shovel
away the snow in calm Indifference.
Hi! there, you coal man; get that
wagon outin' thar; dye hear?" again
vociferated the driver.
The Irishman worked on shoveling
with a sweet and pensive air.
"Say, there, you - -, do you
want TO keep me here all night with
your - wagon blocking the wayp"
madly whooped the driver.
And still the Irishman kept right on.
and the mule seemed to smile softly, as
it were, Mt the condition Of affairs. BY
this time three other ears, a carriage,
two grocers' wagons. and a dray had
accumulated behind, and the line was
strung out rs far as the Walnut Street
Theatre.
But the Irishman didn't seem TO mind
1t. Neither did the mule. The first
