HOW Cen. Putnam swore.


In the year 1889 / was taken by my
father to see Revolutionary pension
ierlby the name of Samuel Green. then
living in the town of Bernardston,
Mass, at an extreme age. Mr.. Greene
related, that he was in the army under
Gen. Putnam, and was engaged in the
battle of Brooklyn heights. He repre-
seTfted Putnam as man who WAS accus-
toned to accentuate his speech with
language drawn from the armory of
theological warfare. Among a great
many forms of adjuration a favorite
one was: ..God take it ALL" At the
battle of Brooklyn the Americans had
at one of their lines erected rude
breastwOrk of logs and had stopped
the spaces between the logs with large
pieces of turf. During the fight a
cannon ball from the enemy knocked
out one of these pieces of turf which in
its flight hit Putnam and knocked him
down. Putnam quickly sprang to his
feet and exclaimed; God take it all

Pelting the Rhinoceros.

There has been of late a want of cor
diality in the pleasant relations be-
tween the elephants at the Zoo and
their next door neighbor, the somno-
lent rhinoceros says the Philadelphia
Times. The trouble first arose at the
time when the male elephant lay sick
of rheumatism, complaint to which
he ultimately succumbed. He COM
planned that he could not rest at night
on account of the snoring of the rhin-
oceros. This ill-mannered brute met
the civil remonstranceS of the ladies of
the elephants household with the base
insinuation that their lord and master
was only shamming sickness to excite
sympathy among the visitors.
The rhinoceros hungered for the
buns and bananas that by flattening
his ugly snout against the bars of his
cage aud swinging his evil right eye
into the extreme corner of its socket
he could see timorously handed to the
sick elephant, so he continued to snort
by day and snort by night, till his big
neighbours life became simply unbear-
able, and one calm moonlight night he
carefully packed up his trunk, shoul-
dered it, and departed for the happy
hunting grounds. Ali the animals in
the garden, except the rhinoceros. sent
messages of respectful sympathy by
the rats which roam freely all over the
place to the mourning wives of the de-
ceased mammoth. The boorish pachy-
derm publicity rejoiced over his neigh
boris death. His unnatural gayety
took the form of distressing diurnal
grunts and ferocious nocturnal snorts.
a oil an
oath that on the first opportunity they
would make their ugly neighbor pay
dearly for his unnatural behavior.
Ever since they have presumably
| been casting about to discover means
of revenge. A day or two ago they
| found it,, There is thick partition
wall some ten feet high separating the
den of the rhinoceros from that of the
two elephants. Early in the morning,
while the rhinoceros lay fast asleep
and snoring in the middle of the floor,
Empress aud her mate cautiously rails
ed themselves on their hind legs and
| with their nimble trunks deftly loosen
| ed the top rows of bricks. They worked
away until they had removed eight
| rows. and, as the wall is more than a
foot thick and by little exertion they
could now see over it, they concluded
| is was about time to begin the fun.
They pelted the unhappy rhinoceros
/ with the bricks till he roared with rage
and pain. He could not possibly get
ont of range. Ii he tried to get shelter
by erouching under his side of the par
tition they dropped the bricks ON him;
| ifthe went to the far side of the den,
they flung them at him. When Head
| Keeper Byrnes, going his early rounds,
entered the house, he found a demOra-
lized rhinoceros, crouching and grunt-
ling amidst wilderness of bricks, while
two trumpeting elephants stood on
their hind legs looking over the top OF
the wall, enjoying his discontinue.
