While the people of this country are
showing such an interest in our war his
tory | am surprised that something has
not been said about Bunker liil!. On that
occasion the Federal forces from RoX-
bury to Cambridge were under command
of General ar emus Ward. the gre at
American humorst. When the American
humorist really puts on his war paint
and sounds the tocsin, he can organize a
great deal of mourning.
General Ward was assisted by Put
nam, Starke, Prescott, Grdley and Pome-
roy. Colonel William Prescott was sent
over from Cambridge to Charlestown for
the purpose Of certifying Bunker Hill.
At n council of war it Was decided to
fortify Breeds Hill, not so high but nearer
to Boston than bunker Hill. Soa re
doubt was thrown up during the night
on the ground where the monument now
lands.
The British landed large force under
Generals Howe and Pigot, and at , p.
m, the Americans were reinforced by
Generals Warren and Pomeroy. General
Warren was Of a literary turn of mind
and during the battle took his hat OIL
and rccited little poem beginning:

such bitter feeling of hostility on the
part of the audience, must have been Il

strife twenty years ago, the inieriority
of our generals in this respect was pain
fully noticeable We did not have a
commander who could address his
troops in rhyme to save his neck. Soy

verse, but it was so Llank that it was
not just the thing to speak in school af-

The Georgia legislature passed resolutions
of regret and adjourned on receipt of the
news.
In Galena, ILL.,, where Grant lived at tho
breaking out of the war, business was practi-
cally suspended and the town was complete
ly draped in mourning.
Many expressions of sympathy and sorrow
came from abroad. Mr.. Gladstone sent this
dispatch through the Associated Press:
"Mr Gladstone has heard with regret tho
sad news of General Grants death He VEN
lures to assure the bereaved family of the
sympathy he feels with them in their atlic-
ton at the loss of one who had rendered his
country such signal services as general and
a statesman"
Flags were displayed at half mast on many
buildings in London. The London papers
gave many columns to reviews of Grants
life and achievements.
In Canada flags hung at half mast, in Mon
treal and other cities, and there were many
public expressions of sorrow
In Mexico the news was received with
many expressions of regret. The Mexican
editors, then in Washington, requested that
the banquet to be given to them at Wizards
be abandoned, and sent this dispatch to Pres
ident Diaz:
"The excursionists OF the associated press of
Mexico send to you, and through you to the
Mexican republic, their profound sympathy

hero, General Ulysses S. Grant, in whom

where he is supposed to have stood
when he told his men to reserve their
fire until they saw the whites of the en-.
cmy's ewes. Those who have examined
the cast-iron flint-lock weapon used in
those days will admit that tho order
was wise. Those guns were injurious
to health of course, when used to cX-
cess, but not necessarily or Immediately
fatal.
At the time of the third attack by the
British the Americans were out of am
munition, but they met the enemy with
dubbed muskets, and it was found that
one end of the rebel flint lock was about
as fatal as the other, if not more so.

The BuOyant Power of Water.

According to an exchange, the human
body weighs pound in the water, and
chair VIII carry two grown persons
that is, it will keep the head above water,
which is al that is necessary when 1t is
a question of life or death. One tnges
placed upon 4 stool or chair, or a small
box, or IA piece of board. will easily keep
the head above water, while the two feet
and the other hand may be used as pad
dies to propei toward the shore. 1t is
not necessary to know how to swim to
be able to keep from drowning in this
way. y little experience Of the buoyan
power of water and faith in it, is a.
that is required. We have seen small
boy, who could not swim a stroke, pro.
pei himself back and forth across deep,
wide pond by means of q board that
would not sustain five pounds weight.
Children and all others should have prac-
tice in the sustaining power of water. In
nine cases out of ten the knowledge that
what will sustain pound weight is all
that is II cessary to keep ones head
above the water, will serve better in
emergencies than the greatest cXpertncss
as a swimmer
A person unfamiliar with the buovant
power will naturally try to climb on top
of the iloatin,; object on which he tries
to save himself. If it is large enough
that is all right. But it is generally not
large enough to keep them all entirely
above water. This often happens when
pleasure boats capsize. All immediate
ly want to get out of the water on top
of the overturned or half-iiled boat, and
all are drowned except those whom the
wrecked craft will wholly bear up. If
they would simply trust the water to
sustain ninety-nine hundrcdths of their
bodies, and the disabled boat the other
hundrcdth, they might all be saved
under most circumstances. An over
turned or half filled wooden boat will
sustain more people than it will carry.
1t would keep the heads above water of
as many people as could get their hands
on the gunwale. These are simple facts,
easily learned, and may some day save

Men Who Drag Carriages.

Trot, trot, trot, along the smooth,
sunny, but bamboo shaded high road, !
have little leisure now to observe these
astonishing rickshaw coolies. They wear
the enormous traditional! mushroom
Chinese hat, suitable in case either OF
beating rain or fierce sun, under which
are tucked their hard plated pigtails-
for even a coollc would feel himself dis
graced were he minus a pigtail. They
are bare footed, bare legged, bare armed,
and wear just sufficient rags to save
themselves from the charge of iudelicacy.
Their skins are sallow, their Mongolian
faces are pinched, their stature is small,
their limbs seem attenuatcd and loosely
put together And yet these Economical
looking wretches, to call whom "breth-
rem" is indeed heavy demand on our
charity, throw themselves forward into
the shafts and drag their carriages with
their passengers, who may be ten or may
be twenty stone, not at walk or shuttle
or an amOIe, but at good round trot of
about six miles an hour. They neither
flag, pant nor pcrspire but keep up this
pace for two or three miles at stretch.
Would not the most renowned Euro
pcan athlete or pedestrian be but a feeble
coney in comparison; Moreover, these
coolies have to content themselves at the
end of their journey with five cents-a
cent is fraction less than Il hall-penny.
They exult if they receive ten cents. and
consider the donor an utter fool if he
gives them fifteen cents. - C0haIW Mug
