O~yerhauling History.

The old story books made us believe
that on April 20, l715, Israel Putnam
was blowing in his field. when a mes
scnger arrived in hot haste with news
of the battle of Lexington, and that
the hero farmer unyoked his oxen and
left them Ia their fate, mounted a horse
aud was off TO the north without SO
much as saying "good-by' to those of
his house.
And were we not brought up in the
belief tlattAis line
They lcft tho plowglarc In the mold,
was inspired especially by his casel
And have not we, all of us, ever
since our childhood been familiar with
pictures representing him blowing,
clad IN a fr0ck rs long as anightgown,
which no farmer could wear al any
kind Of work without imminent and
unacceptable peril Of being tripped up
at every step he took-to say nothing
of turning a furrow, when he would
be indeed fortunate ii he did not lind
himself under the plowsharc!
And 10 know that after many
years that there was no plow in the
case-to lind out that that, too, is a
myth!
1t was. indeed, the day after the
fight at Lexington, in the morning,
and Israel Putnam was az work on his
farm in Pomfret, Conn. But he was
building a stone wall, with his hired
men; aud he had on a leather frock
and apron-the frock must have been
a short one; fancy one of that ma
terial coming to his heels lie took
off the apron, but did o wait TO
change the check shirt lie had worn
in the field, and was off without de-
lay. He rode the same horse 100 miles
in eighteen hours and reached Cam
bridge at sunrise the next morning.

An Old Horse.

heard a story lately Of one of the
experiences Of q minister which are
sometimes pathetic and sometimes
amusing, An old parson was very
much in need Of a horse, and the sis
tiers Of the flock determined 10 raise
the money To buy him the desired ami.

an amount considerably below the es-
timated price. and the beast acquired
vas proportionatcly deficient in the
qualitics which make Bucephalus su.

One day when the horse was tied in
front Of the parsonage, a sporting man
drove by and, seeing the outfit. stopped
and remarked to the parson; "Well,
dominic. that isn't much Of an animal
the sisters gave you, is itf' Don't

looked at his teeth. As he closed the

Eating ". Drinking.

We are corrected for saying that
the French Canadians eat pea soup.
This correction proceeds from Hamil.

soup. II depends upon the kind OF
pea soup. You eau drink the kind
they serve in the aristocratic man,
sions and palatial hotels of Hamilton,
because it has no peas in ii. those vul
gar vegetables having been removed
before il gets TO the table. But you
can't drink the good, old fashioned
pea soup hat the habitants and Other
humble people eat, because il is all
peas. You might as well talk about
quaiiing a flowing bowl Of porridge.

AT THE LADY cHlRoPoDIsT's.


A Reporter Discovers the Reason Why
Men Are the Most Regular Customers.
A handsome blonde, apparently %
years old, with a finely rounded fig.
ure, held on her knees the nude foot
of a gentleman twice her age.
She was a chiropodist and he a Gus,
toner who called regularly nee a
month. Nimbly handling her cuticle
knife, steel file and emery pasteboard
she trimmed a calous corn from his
big toe. Strengthened his little toe nail,
filed all Ne toe nails into a uniform
shape, applied n polish and then col.
lccted a dollar from the patron with
the east and grace of a cherub. He
went off smiling.
70 a News reporter she said;
Il can't shy that the gentlemen out.
do the ladies in looking after THEN
hands and feet Our revenue from
the gentlemen is probably larger than
that from the ladies, for we solicit
ladies patronage by visiting their
homes, and the gentlemen all must
come to Us.
Ladies = more particular than
gentlemen about how their nails are
trimmed, but the latter are more reg.
ulaP in their visits for treatment Gen
tlcmcn who take unusual interest in
their finger nails cone ono q week,
| lind that the ages of the gentlemen
who come here for nail treatment vary
from 30 TO G5. Younger gentleman
seldom give the condition of their
hands or feet a thought. Females
look after their nails from childhood
up.
I'VE trim nails into the round
pointed and almond styles. The
pointed style leaves the finger nails
as sharp rs a pin. Gentlemen gener-
ally prefer the round style. We can
do nothing TO change the shape Of a
hand.
YES, think chiropodistry is on the
increase, Young girls generally
common sense shoes, and, conse
quently, have no trouble with their
feet; but when they enter woman
hood they encase their feet in tight
shoes, which beget corns, ingrowing
nails, etc. Take a seat and I'll eX.
hibit my skill on one of your hands,
then you can compare ii with the
other and witness the contrast"
The News reporter complied, and
the blonde submerged his fingers in a
bowl containing warm water and cas-.
tile soap After moistening the SKIN,
she took her cuticle knife and cut of
the skin covering the base Of the nail.
With a file and emery ptsieboard she
rounded the nails, and then applied a
bleaching acid, which gave the nails
a bright appearance. \ cosmetic was
the next application, after which a
powder was busted on tie nails, and
by ruBbing them with the palms of
her hands a beautiful gloss appeared
on tllrm.

Carroll were arrAigned before the Munl-
cipal Court for . final hearing co the
charge OF committing o deadly assault
and tat'ery on Arthur sullivAn, and Gre
ating riot IN frol OF Michael J. Cilneh IS
saloon, No. POS West Seventh street, on
Tuesdsy night last. Tie evi 'ence In this
| case was given In full detail In the Re-
PuBLIcAN on Thursday. When arraign-
ec this morning, ". 7. Lyman, Esq.,
appeared for Carroll, who instructed /, Is
client To plead guilty. West also plead
guilty. Sullivan, Clinch and Mrs.. Lucy
Patinson appeared as Witnesses and gave
the same testimony ne previously given
before the court.
City Solicitor Turner made a strou q
plea that an example be made OF the two
men TO deter others from pursuing the
same course.
These men, he said, were terror to The
community and belonged TO the class OF
citizens called "toughs." lie stated that
he happened TO be an Q e-witness TO some
OF the dissraceiul actions of these men.
They started out In the evening on q
drunken debsuch and assaulted aud put
In terror everybody they met With VINO
would not do exactly as they wished
them TO do. There was not parii lie Of
excuse whstever for their sections and
the assault on Sullivan was entirely un-
provoked.
These men ought to be sent to Jail and
heavily fined, aud be would do all he
cou d to send them there. They had
very narrow ct cape frcm standing before
the court as criminals to answer Tor muir
der. Snllven's Lead was cut TO The
skull with sharp stone aud tie more
the skull would have been crushed snd
they would have been arraigned for NUT
der. He had the greatest sympathy for
the fathers OF these two young men, both
oil whom are very respectable citizenr,
and one OF them, Mr.. West, holds q very
responsible POSI- ion under q large cor
poration in the ely, but this did not deter
hin from demanding that a punishment
be metfd ont adequate to the crime OF
which these two men stand arraigned.
Mr.. Lyman ssil that hitherto these
young men had bprre good charact r.,
and the present. offence was slip. Pre-
vious character should be worth some.
thing. He also objected to the use Of the
word though" used by the City Solicitor.
he thought IL unwsrrantab'e.
Mr.. Turner. IN closing, said be would
bave been very glad II his learned friend
huu attempted TO bring In previous good
character, so he would have had the op-
poriun ~ OF s. owing how soon be could
have smssh, d his plea. lie then made
another strong plea tor conviction.
Jcdge EmDons sa' d that the defend
ants had pl sd guilty to the charges, and
he reed fully with the City Solicitor,
that they mi. ht as readily have stood be
fore the bar of the court. charged with
more serious crime. The assault WAS
entirely without provocation, and no ex-
cuse whatever could tie offered for It.
Men OF Ills character are dangerous to
the community, as they do not discrmin-
ate between iIiend and foe. He consid-
cred 1t is duty TO make an example Of
the men, that others may be deferred
