An Historical Myth.

There are few of the schoolboys of sew
eral generations preceding the present
who do not remember being taught that
Gen. jackson won the battle of New Or
leans by throwing up breastwork of cot
ton bales and meeting the British assault
behind them. A dramatic account of this
was in all the school histories and several
others, and the novelty of the affair APP
pealed wildly TO the Imagination. The
cold facts of later history prove this all to
have been fiction. Henry Adams in his
history of Madison's administration, de-
scribes the battle of New Orleans, and
mentions no such feature. McMaster in
his latest volume refers to the story in a
note only to say that there were two or
three cotton bales used in one place, and
that they were either set on fire or knocked
out at once. Jackson's line of breastworks
was of earth irregularly thrown up and of
varying height along its length. The
trained sharpshooters of the West did great
work as marksmen behind it and so CALLED
the heavily laden British troops that they
had no alternative but to be shot or re-
treat before the A merican line. The school
book story used to be that the Americans
lost six killed and seven wounded. McMas-
ter places the figures of killed and wOun-
ded at seventy. The British, it seems,
were not all repulsed according to the pop
ular story. The right line of the Ameri-
can troops was driven in, and the British
left advanced mile in the rear of Jackson
on the way to New Orleans. He was
really flanked by this success, but the ter
rife slaughter he inflicted upon the British
in the centre, involving the death of the
first and second generals in command,
completely dispirited them, and induced
the return of that wing of their army that
was on the way to the city.-BOston

A gentleman who saw Rudyard Kipling
at a little hotel in Gloucester, Mass, last
summer, says that the distinguished young
writer is not disagreeable in his manners,
as has been asserted He read some I'M
published jungle stories to the guests, and
not only entertained but gave himself up
agreeably to entertainment He is said to
have been especially pleased by the per-
formances in negro dialect OF southern
girl. One song, an almost incommunica-
Bile jargon, he got her to repeat, and the
next day, when every one else had forgot
ten the episode, he surprised the company
by singing the ditty from beginning to end
with twinkle of the eye and the drollest
imitation.

Marvellous Surgical Operation.

s[From the Lyndon Union.
James Beaton had very sick hen and
one of his little girls called DR.. George
Stephens, who answered promptly, felt the
hens pulse and wanted to see her tongue.
With the help of two men he managed to
get sight of that unruly member and at the
same time discovered that the cause of the
sickness was that her teeth were gone, and
she could not grind her feed. Opening her
crop he found hay and stones there and
the lining somewhat decayed. The doctor
removed the contents and lining, put in a
new lining from his silk hat and fixed her
up as good as new. She is now doing well
and the doctor thinks she will lay the gold
en- e0O soon.

THE VERMONT PHGNIXZ,
Good Roads VS.. Poor Roads.
What this Question Means so Farming
Communities i'm Actual Dollars and
Cents.
From Harper,s weeklx.


Communities I'm Actual Dollars and
Cents.
From Harper's Weekly
Col. Francis Vinton Greene has recently
delivered an address on the subject of
good roads in the Butterfield practical
course at Union college. In the course of
his remarks he showed that while Massa-
chusetts annually expeHds S66 mile on
roads outside of cities, New Jersey, S43
and New York, 800 the average expendi-
ture in the other states is much less. fit
is only SIS a mile, this means total an
nual expenditure throughout the country
of $20,000 900, and much the larger part
of this vast sum is literally thrown away
on roads that are not only the cause of
veXation and discomfort to those who drive
over them, but that entail actual loss upon
those who are compelled to carry their
goods over them to the market or to the
railway station.
The enormous drain made by bad roads
on our resources was estimated by Col.
Greene and his figures will not be doubted
by any one who has paid any attention to
the subject. He said: at has been proved
not only by mechanical experiment but by
actual test, that the same force which
draws one ton on a muddy earth road will
draw four tons on hard macadam road.
On the improved roads of New Jersey loads
of four to five tons are habitually drawn by
two-horse team. This effects a saving of
fully three fourths of the cost of hauling
to the station, and reduces the cost of road
| transportation from 30 cents to u cents
per ton per mile. What this saving
amounts to may be imagined when it is
| known that the New York Central railroad
carries nearly 100000 tons of way
freight in year. If this is hauled only
two miles by road, to or from the station,
and saving of 224 cents per ton per mile
could be effected, it would mean a total saw
ing of S9,000,O0O."
In other words, the question of roads in
many of our agricultural communities is a
| question of farming at a loss or at profit.
And there is not a community or town i'm
the thickly settled parts of the country
that cannot provide itself with thoroughly
good highways by anticipating its road
taxes for fifteen or twenty years. Money
| borrowed on fifteen or twenty year bonds,
to be paid off from the annual road taxes,
| would be sufficient for the work in each To-
cality, while the expenditure would in
volve little, if any, increased taxation. The
| plan that is here suggested has been tried
in towns near New York, and it is notice
able that every good piece of road that has
been constructed in these communities in
creases the sentiment in favor of spending
money in this way.
