YORKTOWN MANUSCRIPTS.


render of the Town.
Curiously enough, after 10 years, a
collection of manuacr.pts relating to
the siege of Yorktown has recently
turned up in Paris. These comprise
contemporary copy Of Count de Ro-
chambcau S own diary from the time the
French armies left the Hudson, the 9th
OF August, to the surrender of York
town, on the 10Th of October 1881. Ac-
companying this, written by a different
hand, but inclosed in the same cover,
is diary Of the siege by one Of the en-
Gineer officers and most beautifully
executed manuscript map in colors of
Yorktown ard vicinity.
The siege ard surrender of Yorktown
We're one Of the most important events
in the history of America. Many ao-
counts by different eyewitnesses are ex-
tant, manuscript and printed, perhaps
the most valuable of all being the diary
of George Washington, the original
manuscript of which is at the state de-
partment mt Washington. After Wash
inston, perhaps the most Trustworthy
account would be that of Count de
Rochambeau. 1t is known that he was
very careful to keep copies of his cor
rospOndence, both for himself and for the
department of war in France, but his
diary of the Yorktown campaign was
never published until it was included
in Doniol's great compilation of docu-
ments relating to the gaining of Amer
lean independence, published about ten
years ago, under the auspices of the
French government, and even to this day
1t has never been printed, except greatly
abridged, in English. A small part of it
appeared i'll the Gazette dc France a
few days after the news of the surrender
reached Paris, and this abridgment
was translated and published III English
in the Pennsy lvania Gazette and in AL
mons Remembrance shortly after
The day after the surrender Rocham-
beau sent copy of his journal by the
hand of the Duke de LauZun to the
French minister of war, Segur, and a
week later duplicate dispatches were
sent in another ship, the Count de
DeuXPonts being the bearer. These two
officers had shown the most courage in
the siege and were thus rewarded The
existence is not known of either of these
original dispatches.
A copy of Rochambeau's journal is in
the French archives in Paris and an
other, Rochamheau' own, probably, is
in the library of the department of state
III Washington, procured with the Re-
chambeau papers bought by the United
States government from the heirs of
Count de Rochambeau. 1t may be, and,
indeed, it seems quite probable, that
this series of manuscripts which has
been recently discovered and which has
been secured by Messrs. Dodd, Mead 81
Co. of New York city are the original
papers which were carried over by
Count de Deux-Ponts. They are not,
however, i'll his autograph, but in that

clerk.
The map which accompanies these
two manuscripts is On q large scale and

Power OF Attorney.

Power OF Attorney.
Il have run across curious people of

man the other day, reports the New
York Sun. but had an experience with
o person recently who seemed to me
the strangest of all. was engaged in
settling up 10 estate in which there was
likely 20 be litigation, and | had con-
cluded to get powers of attorney from
as many of the heirs at law as possible
in order TO save expense and expedite
matters. came TO New York TO see
one Of the heirs, and found him grave
and able business man. When ] eX
planned the situation he readily agreed
that the course | intended TO pursue
was the best. and promised to assist me
in it.
Then said l, 1 suppose you will
sign this power of attorney, and | laid
the paper before him. No he an
swered, decidedly. And why not?'
Upon religious grounds he said.
For many years have been endeavor-
ing to live life that should be free from
mortal sin, and SO far believe | have
escaped any act that is beyond forgive
ness; but could not think of putting
my name to paper which authorized
anyone to act in my name, for fear That
the person might do some act which my
conscience could not approve, and which
being done in my name would everlast-
ingly condemn me. l cannot give you
or anyone else a power of attorney"

The Sportsman Thinks Perhaps His Cap

A SportSmen's Review writer tells
how he landed large tarpon on the
Gulf Of Mexico:
"We came to our anchorage, and in
half an hour had a strike. The suiky
brute would not jump, but when ironed
would just show his head and blow
and then dive down into deep water
again. Exhausted by previous fight
with tarpon, / could not fight him SO
hard, and it was 81 minutes before he
gave NJ.
''He jumped only twice; but a re-
markable incident happened during he
struggle. While the tarpon had on
was sluggish. he seemed to create in
tense excitement among all the others
in the bay. They were leaping and
cavorting around the captive and the
boat as if they intended Il rescue. AT
one time, when we were being towed
