ARNOLD NOT At TICONDEROGA
WHEN IT WAS CATURED BY ETHAN
ALLEN

1t is the interest of the facts of history
that record my conviction that Arnold
was not with Allen and his party at the
capture of TicOnderoga, and did not
arrive there until several days after its
capture. | am well aware that Ira Allen
in history of Vermont, and DIR. Williams,
state that Arnold, with a commission
from Massachusetts, as Colonel, arrived
at CastletOn before Allen left there, and
claimed of Allen the right to supplant
him in command of the expedition, and
they state, moreover, that he renewed the
demand ON the morning of the 10th of
May, when about to attempt to enter the
fortress. Their statements have been
copied by nearly all historians since, and
have been accepted as true by the people
at large. Nevertheless, the statements of
Ira Allen and DR.. Williams are directly
cOntradicted by others, whose knowledge
of the facts of the case and entire honesty
cannot be successfully impeached, and
especially by one whose word, were it not
supported-as it is abundantly-or Others
and by many cOrrOborating circumstances
appear to me to be absolutely conclusive.
Nathan Beman was Aliens guide on
that occasion. He was eighteen years of
age, intelligent and honest He had as a
boy played with the children of the Off
GERS of the fort, and knew every nook
and angle of it. 1t was because of his in
innate knowledge of the fortress and the
grounds around it, and his general intel
ligence, that he was selected by Allen for
this responsible duty. From the tircum-
stances of the case lie was by Aliens side
continuously. This Nathan Beman must
have known the facts of the matter, and
he always and repeatedly asserted in the
most positive manner, in after years, that
Arnold did not accompany the expedition,
was not present with the party on the
night of the attack and capture; and did
not arrive at Ticonderoga till several days
after its capture. Bemans testimony
was fully and often corroborated by many
Others who had knowledge of the facts,
nor did Ethan Allen in his account of the
affair, make the least mention of or al
fusion to Arnold as being present until
after the capture of the fort The fact
seems to us as firmly established as com
petent testimony can establish any fact
of history, that Benedict Arnold was not
with the expedition, and had no part what
ever in the capture of Ticonderoga.-

POPE GREGORY DID IT.
Why 1900 viii not be a Leap Year,

why lDUO w III HOt W Lump Aehi'
The question is often asked: evil the
year 1900 be leap ycar?' 1t will not.
When Julius Caesar revised the calendar
he appointed an extra day every -four
years, and his calendar lasted until A, D.
1882. Now the ordinary year is II MIN
utes and II seconds short of being 3dji
days in length, so that there isn't really
a full sized extra day to be added to Feb
ruary every four years. Caesar didn't
know this, or didn't care about it, and
for 1,600 years we kept borrowing from
the future, until 1882 we'd borrowed ten
days. Pope Gregory XIII. started ia
correct this. He ordered October >, 1882,
to be called October 10, and, to square
things, ordered that centurial years
should not as a rule, be leap years.
But if leap year be omitted regularly
each hundredth year, we pay back nearly
a day too much; so Pope Gregory fur.
ther ordered that every centurial yeaI
which could be divided by 400 should be
a leap year after all. So we borrow
eleven minutes each year from the flu
ture; more than pay our borrowings back
by emitting three leap years in three cen
turtles, and finally square matters by hay
ing leap year in the fourth centuriaI
year. This arrangement is SO exact that
we borrow more than we pay back to the
extent of only one day in 1866 years
Sixteen hundred was a leap year, ZOO
will be- but 1900 will not be. Any cen
turial year that can be divided by 400 will
be leap year.-HdrUOrd Times.
