The First Martyr of the Revolution

All of the school histories and popular
text books give us to understand that on
April 10, 1775, at Lexington, Mass, the
first blood of the American war of indie
pendence was shed. Within the last few
years historians, who have been giving the
matter much attention, claim Westmin-
ster, VT, as the scene Of the first tragedy
in that memorable conflict and one Will
lam French as the victim. Vermont at
that time was a part Of New York. The
people of the Vermont district were badly
worked up over the royalist question and
had decided not to allow the regular SEES
sion of the kings court to be held in West
minister that spring.
Accordingly, when the court officers
were sent they were accompanied by a body
of royal troops. The people were exasper
ated and assembled in the court house Il

arrived orders were given for the people Il

grounds and fired into the little band O

The President Reaches Home.

The presidential train arrived in
Washington on the evening of the 18th
exactly on schedule time. Before the
train reached the city the president
summoned to the observation car every
person who had accompanied him on the
trip, including all the railroad employees
about the train, and made short ad-
dress. He said he found he had made
139 speeches since leaving Washington
on the 14th of April and thought this
was good time to make the number a
round lao. He referred to the unprece-
dented excellence and perfection Of the
railroad service throughout the entire
trip, and said the fact that they had
been enabled to travel over 10000 N les
OF territory in a splendidly equipped
train without an accident or mishap or
one minutes variation from schedule
time must always be regarded as most
remarkable achievement He returned
thanks individually to every person who
had rendered service on the train and
gave all the employees a substantial
token of his appreciation. The postmas
ter general. secretary of agriculture and
other members of the party also re-
membered the employees. The arrival
in Washington was unmarked by any
demonstration beyond the presence at
the station of small knot of officials
and several hundred travellers. The
presidents grandchildren were at the
station and the first greeting was to
them. The president and family quickly
went to the white house.

Castle-The Cumberland.

Through the kind courtesy of the gen

Cumberland mine, now in the mining
world, famous as the greatest lead -fis-
sure vein ever developed, the special
correspondent of the Journal was per

writes concerning what he saw: Ian

come and see the immense ore bodies
and splendid work himself to realize and
appreciate the value of the mine. ''Im-
mense'-"a mountain of ore," are the
terms used to express ourselves as our
party explored one section of the mine
after another. Eleven sets of timber,
each 5x8 feet, did not extend through
the lead in one crosscut-the finest kind

commenced in another section as fine

our passions we cherish an enemy in our
bosoms; how every moment demands
of us, in the name of duty, the sacrifice
of our dearest inclinations; when we
think upon all this, every heart that is
not dead to, feeling must be overpowered
by melancholy. This is the tragic tone
of mind"
And in this mood does one buy q

better friends in these moments OF pen
