The fact that Harvard students have
again daubed the statue of John Harvard
with paint proves that university to be
cursed with some undergraduates who are
persistent hoodlums. They have not origin

hoodlumism that some one else has marked

He Could Come Mighty Near to Telling Lie,
All the Same.
From the Boston Advertiser.
1T is painful to find that the father Of his
country practiced deceit down in Jersey. Elias
Boudinot, whose papers are getting printed,
reveals this side Of Washingtons character.
He actually played trick on Sir William Howe
and made him believe he had l., 900 men in his
army about Morristown, when he had but 5000.
1t seems that Howe had sent one Of his innu-
merabe Spies who were tories in New York and
patriots in Philadelphia, to zee what was going
ON about Morristown. The adjutant general
found out the rogue and asked Gen. Washing ton
If he would not have him arrested.
No, said the crafty Virginian--and here
quote from Boudinot-''but ordered him 10 60
home and Immediately to draw returns from
every Brigadier in the army of the number of
their brigades, making the army to consist Of
these in the pigeon Holes on his Desk and
then to get introduced TO the Spy and invite
him to lodge with him. To endeavor to get
him to sup with him alone. About 8 o'clock
in the evening to have an Orderly Sergeant to
call on him with positive orders that the
Adjutant should attend the General in haste.
That then He should make an Excuse to the
Gent, suspected as q Spy and leave him alone
about half an hour. This was done, and in this
Interval, as was suspected, the Spy took copy
OF the returns, and next morning went off with
them to New York. This convinced Gen. Howe
that we were too strong to be attacked, and
saved us thro' the winter"
Prof. Hosmer, who has written 30 well about
Sir Henry Vane and Samuel Adams, thinks that
Adams and Franklin did not behave quite
tiers, which put Massachusetts, in the hands Of
the patriots. But here Is George Washington,
who 'coulc not tell lie," making his brig

An Operator Hears q Press Dispatch licked
on in the Dazzling Globe.
From the St. Paul Globe.
Shortly after - o'clock last night . party Of
gentlemen were taking lunch at resort on
Wabash street when their attention was
attracted TO a peculiar clicking of the carbons
in one of the electric light globes overhead.
The sound was exactly akin to that Of
telegraph instrument, and was kept up inces-
sanity for fully fifteen minutes. Comments
were passed. but at last the novelty wore of,
and the party proceeded to discuss chicken
sandwiches.
A few moments later new customer entered.
He was an operator from the Western Union
offices, and as he sat waiting for his order to
be filed the clicking of the carbons was re-
newed. The telegrapher started, looked all
round him and then at the electric lights above
After listening intently for a momen. to the
sounds he drew tab OF paper and q pencil
from his pocket and began to write. The
others were watching him closely. He wrote
for few minutes when the clicking again
ceased.
"well," he said, drawing long breath, ''that
beats all the induction ever heard of in my
life
''what is it?'' asked every one in chorus.
"What is it? Why, it's message of the As
ISOLATED Press; look here" and the operator
exhibited the paper on which he had been
writing. 1t read:
