ARNOLD WAS ABSENT.
He Was Not at TicOnderoga When 1t Was
Captured by Allen.

He Was Not at Ticonderoga When 1t Was
Captured by Allen.
1t is in the interest of the facts of his
tory that l 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, writes W. H Fl. Murray in
"Lake Champlain and It's Shores" I
am well aware that Ira Allen, in his his
tory of Vermont, and DR.. 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 the command of the expedition,
and that they state, moreover, that he
renewed the demand OIL the morning of
the 10th of May, when about to attempt
to enter the fortress. Their statements
have been copied by nearly all histori-
ans since, and have been accepted as
true by the people at large. Neverthe-
less, the statements of Ira Allen and
DR.. Williams are directly oontradicted
by others, whose knowledge of the facts
OF the case and entire honesty can not
be successfully impeached, and espe-
cially by one whose word, were it not
supported-a as it is abundantly-by
others and by many corroborating cir
cumstances, appears to me to be abso-
lutely conclusive.
Nathan Beman was Aliens guide on
that OCCASION He was eighteen years
OF age, Intelligent and honest. He had
as boy played with the children of the
officers of the fort, and knew every nook
and angle of it. It was because of his
intimate knowledge of the fortress and
the grounds around it, and his general
intelligence, that he was selected by
Allen for this responsible duty. From
the circumstances Of the case he was by
Aliens side continuously. This Nathan
Beman must have known the facts of
the matter, and he always and re-
peatedly 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 ar
rive at I1conderoga till several days
after its capture. Beman's testimony
was fully and often corroborated bv
many others who had knowledge of the
facts, nor did Ethan Allen, in his &C
count OF the affair, make the least men
ton of, or allusion to. Arnold as being
present until after the capture of the
fort. The fact seems to us as firmly
established as competent testimony can
establish any fact of history, that Bene-
dict Arnold was not with the expedition,
and had no part whatever with the capt
ure of TicondeDga

NORTHERN LIGHTS.
How Nature Displays Herself in All Her
Grandeur in Arctic Lands.

How Nature Displays Herself in All Her
Grandeur in Arctic Lands.
Auroras are most frequently seen in
the cold and in the northern temperate
zone, rarely in the southern temperate
zone, and hardly ever in the tropics.
The places where they most frequently
appear lie between the sixtieth and
SEVENTEEN degrees of north latitude
In the form of an oval, they include the
geographical as we'll as the magnetic
north pole, which is to be found on the
peninsula Boothia Felix, Iceland, the
Kara Sea, Northern Siberia, Behring
Strait, Hudson Bay, Labrador and
Greenland. Northern lights have been
seen as far down as the twenty-fifth de-
gree of north latitude. In full splendor,
however, they may be seen only in the
northern polar region to the seventy-fifth
degree of latitude. Here Nature is
displayed in all her grandeur. Whom
the sun has set, and the gray veil Of
twilight is cast over the earth,
the northern horizon grows darker
and darker. Soon there may be dis
tinguished a segment of the sky more
somber than its background; this is
hemmed in by white concentric arcs of
light Colored rays shoot forth there
from in all directions. They interlace
and intertwine until they seem to be
woven into one f1uttering band of color
And anon it changes to a sea of fire!
The rays leap upward far above the
zenith, form there flaming crown, and
then sink back, to begin anew the won
drous play. The most beautiful de-
scriptions and trustworthy observations
we owe to Nordenskjold and Ekama.
All explanations which have been at
tempted as to the origin and cause of
northern lights are based on analysis by
the spectroscope, on the determination
of the elevation, and on observations of
the peculiar behavior of the magnetic
needle. - Wilhelm Stosz, in Popular
Science Monthly

FRENCH ULTRA REALISM.
DR.. Holmes Analyses the Mistakes of Flau
bert and lola.

DR.. Holmes Analyses the Mistakes of Flau-
bert and lola.
The first great mistake made by the
ultra-realists, like Flaubert and lola, is,
as have said, their ignoring the line of
distinction between imaginative art and
science. We can find realism enough in
books of anatomy, surgery and medi-
cine In studying the human figure we
want to see it clothed with it's natural
integuments. 1t is we'll for the
artist to study the ecorche in the
dissecting room, but we do not
want the Apollo or the Venus to
leave their skins behind them when
they get into the gallery for exhibition.
Lanc:si's figures show US how the great
statues look when Invested of their nat
ural covering. 1t is instructive, but
useful chiefly as means to aid in the
true artistic reproduction of nature.
When the hospitals are invaded by the
novelist, he should learn something
from the physician as well as from the
patients Science delineates in mono
chrome. She never uses b gh tints and
strontian lights to astonish lookers-on.
Such scenes as Flaubert and lola de-
scribe would be reproduced in their
essential characters, but not dressed
up in picturesque phrases. That
is the first stumbling in the way
of the reader of such realistic stories as
those to which have referred. There
are subjects which must be investigated
by scient fic men which most educated
persons would be glad to know nothing
about When realistic writer like lola
surprises his reader into kind of knowl-
edge he never thought of wishing for
he sometimes harms him more than he
has any idea of doing. He wants to
produce a sensation and he leaves
permanent disgust not to be got rid Of
Who does not remember odiOus images
that can never be washed out from the
consciousness which they have stained?
A mans vocabulary is terribly retentive
of evil words, and the images they pre-
sent cling to his memory and will not
loose their hold. One who has had the
mischance to soil his mind by reading
certain poems of Swift will never
cleanse it to it's original whiteness. Ex-
pressions and thoughts of certain
character stain the fiber of the thinking
organ, and in some degree affect the hue
of every idea that passes through the
discolored tissues. Wendell

THE HAYTiAN REPUBLIC.
With Firm Government 1t Could Be
Made to Produce Great Wealth.

with Firm Government 1t Could Be
Made to Produce Great Wealth.
Mr.. James Zohrabi, British Minister to
Hayti, who is in the city on his way to
England, says: Every thing is quiet
in Hayti, but it seems to be the calm be-
fore storm. I look for another revo-
luton there very SOON"
He said: cit seems to me that the PEG.
pie are in condition that must precipi-
tate another fight. Hayti is naturally one
OF the richest countries in the world for
its area. l believe that under a firmly
organized governments government
where property was secured-the island
would support in comfort population
of 10000, 600 souls. One can form no
idea of the wealth of the island without
visit there. There are the coffee for.
ests, for instance. The coffee bush is
not cultivated at all; but the trees grow
wild in such luxuriance that it is utter
ly impossible for a man to penetrate
them. Paths are cut through them from
one village to another and that is all.
When the coffee harvest comes around,
the people gather the berries from the
edges OF the groves and the rest goes to
waste.
For every 1000 tons gathered 800
tons go to waste. 1t is much the same
with sugar cane. The people do not Gull
tivate the sugar cane. 1t grows wild.
You can tell that by looking at it when
it is brought to the town. 1t is crooked.
You could not for SIS get straight piece
two feet long. Everything grows in
such profusion that the people live in
spite of revolutions. In no other coun.
try could the drain of such constant war
fare be sustained.
The ordinary government is terribly
expensive. Every year when the coffee
season comes around the government
collects from 81, 600, 900 to SIS, 600, 900, but
under this system the officials in power
know that their turn to go into exile
Will soon come. I have been here two
years, but the third set of officials is in
power. Each SET knowing that it's time
would soon end, had to prepare to go, so
they pocketed all the money in sight.
Hayti has bad debt now. The last
revolution added to it materially, so
that it is over $4,000, 900; with a rea-
sonably good government this debt could
be paid off. AS it is, there is no great
hope. IN. Y. Letter.

FOOD FOR SPRING.
Seasonable Advice Concerning Ones Diet
etic Habits as Winter Wanes.

Seasonable Advice Concerning Ones Diet
etic Habits as Winter Wanes.
In the spring-time of the year there
is great occasion for care in the matter
of food. The kind that has satisfied
and supported the body during the win
ter has served its purpose, and is no
longer fit for use. In cold weather the
human system can assimilate materials
that would clog and derange it in the
spring. There is no need of drugs to
make people feel we'll, when the things
which have remained dormant in the
ground begin to show signs of life. A
iudicious change of diet is required;
that is all. 1t is better to take the ma
terials for health from the grocer than
from the druggist.
Begin the morning meal with an extra
allowance of fruit. Take two sound
oranges or apples If you have been eat
ing only one, or three if you have been
eating two Be sure there is no decay
in the fruit employed in this manner.
Eat good bread and butter. If you are
usual allowance. If you are hot water
1rinker, take as much as you like. If
you are flesh eater, take half as much
as you do in the winter. Pork is unfit
for human food at any season. Eat less
butter and grease of all kinds in spring.
If potatoes are sound and mealy, they
are not Objectionable; cheesy potatoes
are very unfit. There is the utmost
need for the exercise of caution in the
use of vegetables of every kind. Unless
they have been well preserved and have
wholesome flavor, the part of wisdom
is to avoid them.
In spring it is important that the
heaviest meal should be eaten in the
middle of the day. The warm rains
produce an atmospheric condition which
causes drowsiness. Eating a hearty
meal in the midst of this pressure adds
to the weight upon the system. In day
light the demands of business Or duty
will enable you to cope with it.
In the evening there is no such stimu-
lus, and the result is I'M ury to health.
The evening meal sh Guild be light and
easily dig ested Don't eat buckwheat
cakes or do ughnuts. If you are meat
eater be sure that the meat has been
broiled or roasted. Don't eat fried food
of any kind. 1t is not desirable to feel
that you have eaten enough. Mod era
ton is the best doctor. - Herald Of
Health
