Special Dispateh TO the Baltimore Sun.
New YORK, Feb. ga historic relic OF
great interest was sold at auction in this
city last night for $3.50. 1t was the original
document proving the treachery of the Rev.
dictionary Major-Gen. Charles Lee, which
bore the endorsement General Lees Plan,
29lh March. 1777," by Henry Strachey, Sec
rotary to Lord Howe's commission. It
seems strange coincidence that almost at
the same time this instrument was being
sold Prof John Fiske was lecturing on
"Charles Lee the Soldier of fortune" before
the Long Island Historical Society. The
lecture gives for the first time from recent
ly discovered papers the real character of
Lee. In effect, the Professor said that
Charles Lee was one of the first men to come
to this country, drawn by the great war. in
hope Of obtaining commands. He laid claim
to the character of disinterested enthusi-
asst so completely that the people believed
him. Having the same name, he has often
been connected with the iIlustrious Virginia
family and the great general, Robert Ed
ward Lee. but he was not an American
The papers and documents show after this
long history of wel-covered duplicity, in
which the Soldier of Fortune does every
thing in his power to displace and disgrace
Washington and advance himself.
"His mind was no doubt i'll balanced"
said Professor Fiske, cor, to Use one of his
own favorte words, it was 'unhinged' by
colossal vanity and ravening sel6shness.
and, accordingly, what chiefly strikes u
now in reviewing his career is the con
trast between his enormous pretenlions
and his unparalleled feebleness. Such
was the man to whom some of our great
grandfsthers were at times almost ready to
intrust the destinies of their country rather
than to George Washington How narrow
ly the cause of American independence es-
capped total wreck at the hands of this un-
principled adventurer !"
Gen. Lee, above referred to, resided at
Lee,own, in this county, which place was
named after him; and two other generals
of the Revolution also lived there, or in the
vicinity-Gates and Stevens. and another,

Editor Bob McEldowney resents the in
timation of the Wheeling Ns'cs that he is
about to step down from the editorial tripod
and run for Congress. He says: Some
body has been setting up the horse radisb
to the Wheeling Ne,0s. So far as we know,
there is no concern in We,ze whatever, over
the Congressional nominations. Nobody is
opposing PendIeton, and, for that matter,
nobody is favoring him, or opposing or ia
voring anybody else. In fact, the matter Is
not even being talked about. The McEl-
downeys and the Halls aud the Newmans
and the Wileys are paying COMPOUNDED
sight more attention to the weather than
they are TO politics, individually and col
lectively. Bob McEldowney is not can
didate, never said he was candidate, don't
want to be candidate and is engaged try

A species of woodpecker inhsbits the
driest parts of Mexico. where during the
droughts it must die of starvation unless 1t
made a store. To prevent this it selects
the hollow stem of species of aloe, the
bore Of which is large enough TO hold nut.
The woodpecker drills holes at intervals in
the stem, and fills it from bottom TO top
with the nuts, the separate holes being ap-
parently made for convenience Of access 10
the column of nuts within. The intelli-
gence which not only constructs a special
storehouse, but teaches the woodpecker to
lay by only the nuts, which will keep, and
not the insects, which would decay, is per-
haps the highest form Of bird reasoning
which has yet been observed.
