doctor. in that village wished to invest
$500 in Middletown Bank stock. Max

the |. +. informed him that he knew
where that amount of stock could be
had for about $625. The doctor at once
authorized his legal friend to secure
the stock for him at that price, but not
hearing anything more about it the
doctor concluded that his legal friend
had failed To secure the stock for him
and paid no more attention to the III t.

a week before the failure at the figures

that it was II pretty good thing to have,

Gen. Montgomery's Death.

Louise Livingston Hunt in Rarpers
Magazine for February in sketch OF
the life and services of Gen. Richar'
Montgomery says:
1t was at clock in the morning D
December 81. 1873, during a violen
snow-storm, that the attack on Quebea
was made. The little American army
had undergone inexpressible hardship
during the campaign. and the soldiers
were half starved and half naked. II
took all the magnetic power OF Mont
gomery to stir them into renewed ac
ton. ''Men of New York" he ex.
claimed, lyon will not fear to follow
where your General leads; march oDr'
Then placing himself in the front, he
almost Immediately received the NOR
tai wound which suddenly closed biz
career.
Thus fell Richard Montgomery. al
the early age of thirty-seven. Three
weeks before his death he was pro
moted to the rank Of Major-general.
Young, gifted. and brave, he was
meurned throughout the country, al
whose altar he had offered up his life
apparently in vain; for his fate decide1
the battle in favor of the British.
The story that he was borne from
the field of battle by Aaron Burr, under
the continued fire of the enemy. has
always been received with doubt. II
may now, upon the highest authority,
be pronounced without foundation.
1t was rumored, but not ascertained
by the British for some hours, that
the American General had been killed.
Anxious to ascertain, General Carleton
sent an aide-de-camp TO the seminary
where the American prisoners were
to inquire if any of them would identify
the body. A field-oilicer of Arnold'i
I division, who had been made prisoner
near Sault au Matelot barrier, accom-
| panied the .aide-de-camp to the Pres Dc
Vile guard, and pointed it out among
| the other bodies, at the same time pro
nouncing in accents of grief q glowing
eulogium on Montgomery's bravery
and worth. Besides that of the Gen
| eral, the bodies of his two aides-de
camp were recognized among the slain
All were frozen stiff: General Mont
gomery was shot through the thigh and
through the head When his body wa:
taken up his features were not in the
least distorted, his countenance ap
peared serene and placid, like the sou
| that had animated it. His sword, the
symbol OF his martial honor, lay closs
beside him on the snow. 1t was picked
up by drummer-boy, but immediately
afterward was given up to james
Thompson, Overseer of Public Work:
and Assistant Engineer during th'
siege, who had been intrustei by Gen
eral Carleton with the interment of the
body. Through the courtesy Of tht
British General, Montgomery was bur
led within the walls OF Quebec with tbs
honors of war.

A Native at His Own Cabin Door.

A few months ago Colonel w. P.
Grace, one of the most prominent law
yers OF the state, had occasion to make
a horseback journey into wild district
lying between two great mountains OF
the Ozar< range. One day, while the
heat was intense, he came upon a small
log house surrounded by fence OF
poles. An old fellow with long yellow
whiskcrs, like the dead silk on an ear Of
corn, sat on the fence, engaged, it seems,
in the work of killing buffalo gnats.

The Brazilian law of 1871 provides
that all children born to slave mothers
shall be free, but cannot obtain their
freedom until they are 21 years old.
and must serve their mothers owner
until that time. Consequently, chill
dren are worked to death; and only a
small proportion of them live to secure
their freedom, A traveller says there
never was a nation on the globe in
which slaves were treated with more
diabolical cruelty than they are to-day
in the. coffee producing provinces OF
Brazil. The punishments practiced are
simply ,barbarous." There are still
/, 200. 600 slaves in the empire. In two
provinces abolition sentiment is SC
strong that all the slaves have been
| freed.
