washington ana BUNKER Hill.

It was on the 18th day of June, 1775,
that George Washington was chosen
Commander-in-C Chief of the American
army. The next day he made his an
swer to Congress, in which he declared
that he accepted the office, but that he
would take no pay. He left Philadel-
phia on his way to Boston, June 81,
escorted by q troop of horsemen, and
accompanied by Schuyler and Lee, who
had just been made major generals by
Congress. They had gone about TWEEN
ty miles when they saw man on horse
back coming rapidly down the road. It
was a messenger riding post-haste to
Philadelphia, and carrying to Congress
news of the battle Of Bunker Hill. Ev-
erybody was stirred by the news and
wanted to know the particulars.
''Why were the Provincials COM
PEELED to retreat?'' he was asked.
cit was for want of ammunition, he
replied.
'.Did they stand the fire of the regu-
lar troops?' asked Washington anx-
iously.
'.That they did, and held their own
fire in reserve until the enemy was
within eight rods. -
Then the liberties of the country
are safe!'' exclaimed Washington. He
remembered well the scenes under
Braddock, and knew. what a sight ii
must have been to those New England
farmers when a compact body Of uni
formed soldiers came marching up
from the boats at Chatlestown. Il
they could stand fearlessly, there was
stuff in them for soldiers. Horace r.

New York is a populous city and re-
quires a large police department. It
has had 2,750 officers on the police
force, which it was urged was made
quate, hence the legislature was asked
to increase it 500 men, which it did,
and the Governor has approved the
act. The increase was suggested by
the recent street railroad disturbances
in that city. The police department.
now has $3.50 men at it's disposal.

The late Legislature of New York
appropriated 5000, OOOfor the enlarge
ment OF certain locks in the Erie Ca.
nal, so that two boats instead of one
can pass through them at time.
Governor Hill has approved the bill
making this appropriation, and it is
now a law. The work will be com
menced Immediately. When these en-
lar5ed lockf are ready FOR use it will
quicken and cheaper grain transpor-
tation from The West. The appropri-
alton IS also an earnest that New
York will commence a thorough en-
=largement and improvement Of It's
canals All that cheapens canal trans
portation helps the West by addlng
to the value of Western products in
the hands OF the farmers, manu- fact
urers and other producers.

The State Department is collecting
information as to the methods en-
ployed by the Norman propagandists
IN securing adherents abroad to their
perniclous creed. Already some very
startling figures and statements have
been secured, which show on what a
wholesale plan the Mormon recruiting
agents are working in Europe, and
especially in Switzerland, buying Dung
girls, educating them, misleading them
and shipping them to Utah for their
own nefarious purposes It may be
that the completion OF the work now
being done by the State Department.,
by opening the eyes of European
countries to the spread of tie Nor
mon propaganda among them, will
lead to some united action TO check
it. That such action will ultimately
be called for seems notat all improba-
bic. since we can hardly hope to really
crush out the Mormon system SO long
as it is receiving constant accessions
from foreign sources.

The success Of the secession party

The success OF the secession party in
the recent Nova Scotia elections is
O. serious matter for that Province
and for the Dominion and home gov
prnments. The Dominion Govern
ment received formal warning q year
ago OF what to expect unless the de-
mands OF the Province were heed ed
for the readjustment Of the tariff, the
tightening Of the burden of taxation,
which under the union has become
excessive, and a general reform OF the
financial relations between Dominion
and Province. But the domi nant
party at Ottawa appears to know OF
no remedy for discomfort but a sub
sidy. Seemingly it is now too late,
and Nova Scotia will probably execute
It's thirst to appeal to the imperial
authorities for leave to withdraw
from the confederation, with what
results nobody can foretell.

Express London Gable: The expulsion
OF the French princes has caused much I'M
easness in Paris. It is feared that serious
trouble may result. The better class OF
people severely condemn the issue OF the
decree against heads OF the old monarchial
families. They regard the step as an evil
.dence OF weakness on the part OF the gov
ernment, and dread the effect of its con-
fession in this way on the uneasy spirits
which always are ready for revolution.
They hold, too, that the expulsion OF the
princes has given undue prominence to
them and their political position will tend
to unite the 1nonarchial and imperial in
terests in common hostility to the repub-
lie.

Postal Clerks Bounced for Conspiracy.

The following special notice was issued by
the general superintendent OF the railway
mail service at Washington:
BY order OF the postmaster general, the
clerks named below have been reno owed from
the service for insubordination in conspir-
ing to obstruct the regulation of the serv
ice by the department and to injure its eff
cheney. They have secretly attempted to
form an associa ton with view to dicta-
ton to the department, and many OF them
have also been guilty OF deception toward
their fellow clerks by representing the pur-
poses OF such association to be
merely benevolent and thus entan-
Cling them. At the same time the
postmaster general directs me to express
his qualification that so few, compare,
lively, could be found to engage in such a
scheme, and his acknowledgements to those
who have kept the department informed
Here follows the names-none being in the
Northwest save G. B. Kirkland, Chicago
and Minneapolis. The postmaster general
says the discharged men threatened to
strike, or the combined resignation OF
many clerks was threatened, SO as to men
ace the department with embarrassment.
