We are given a detailed account of the
discovery of New York by Hendrick Hud-
son. "A Tammany chief approached the
discoverer and remarked:
4 am one of the committee to show YOU

power of attorney, of course, for discover

author as "a sort of pOmpous tomtit,

certain night, his rum having been mixed,
he took 10 his bed in a deplorable con

nor whether it was next Saturday or
Tuesday before last. On how he must
have felt! His room was dark, the gas
having gone out TO get better air
He attempted to rise, but a
chill throb, groan, and back he lay
hastily on the bed Just as it was on the
point of escaping him. Suddenly a
thought came to him. 1t was not great
thought, but it was such a thought as
comes to those who have been thought

from abroad, who did chores for him, and
ordered bottle of cooking brandy, then
some club soda he had brought from Lon

glass of it, and after that he feft better

houses, with barbed wire fences around
