San Francisco, Nov. S.-The major

to say that the Republican presidential

Some veracious Brazilian papers, in
Guiding the Amazonas Commerce and
A Federacao, have converted Mr.. Nc
Turks visit a few months ago to the
Takutu in quest of man who was
wanted on serious charge into a raid
into Brazilian territory. Among other
things the commissioner for the Es-
sequibo and Pomeroon rivers is &C
cused of going to Magalhaes, place
occupied by an Indian tribe, and there,
accompanied by three marines in uni
form, causing the Brazilian flag to be
taken down, raising in it's place that Of

he gives the order to return and his
soldiers turn their faces toward Bos-
ton. They have no premonition of the
very hell of shot which shall accom-
pany them until they sink exhausted
and decimated under the protection
OF the warships at Charlestown. Truly,
Maj. Pitcairn has stirred the Yankee
blood. The Lexington road through
Concord curves in almost a semicircle
and while the regulars are YEARLY
marching southwark over the route by
which they so braveIy came in the
early morning, the minute-men swarm
through the fields behind the wooded
hill which skirts the road, thus getting
by shorter route in advance of the
regulars.
At Meriam's corner the minute-men
secrete themselves behind rocks. trees

come along the road the muskAts Of
the colonists cough out leaden death
from front and side and rear. PIT

since he shouted Dispense. ye rebels,

faces Of the rustics on Lexington Com
mon. He has stirred the Yankee blood
until his own is dripping through bis
coat sleeve. A musket ball enters Col.
Smiths leg. Men drop dead and
wounded from one end of the line to
the other.
At last the British reach Lexington,
pass the Common, scene of the bloody
tragedy Of but few hours before, and
see down the road but a little ways
what must have brought relief to their
narrowed spirits-Lord Percy and
thousand troops sent out from Boston
as reinforcements.
Like hunted deer close pursued by
hounds the painting British rush for
ward and fall exhausted within tho
lines made safe by Percy's cannon and
musketrymen. Drink and food are fur
nished for as many as possible from
the Monroe tavern, which Percy has
made his headquarters, and the
wounds of such injured as have been
able to keep up with the weary march
are hurriedly dressed.
The day is now well spent and
Percy fears the consequences Of re-
naming till dark. Speedily he forms
the troops in order and the march to-
ward Boston is resumed.
And the colonists? Are they content

Not so. Scarcely has the march
been resumed until they are on the

up the planks from the bridge. Mai.
Buttrick calls out to the British in
remonstrance and orders his men to
advance at double-quick. They are
within few rods of the bridge when
a shot rings out and Luther Blan-
chard, of Acton, and Jonas Brown, of
Concord, are wounded by the same
bullet.
Almost instantly this single shot is
followed by volley from the British.
Capt. Isaac Davis and Abner Hosmer,
both of Acton, fall dead and several
others of the patriots drop their mus
kets and clutch at wounds from which
the blood is gushing. The war has be-

Maj. Buttrick, now as hot for the
fight as he was earnest for delay,
springs to one side, fires his musket at
the British and shouts out his order:
Fire, fellow soldiers! For Gods
sake. frer'
A volley crashes out and the first
British soldiers to die in the face of
the colonists drop to the ground. Three
of them fall dead and a half dozen
are wounded, among the latter being
three minor officers.
The British Immediately retreat to-
ward the center of the town, and the
Americans follow them a little way

Hearing the firing at North Bridge,
Capt. Parsons ceases his work of de-
struction at Col. Barrett's and hastens
with his three companies towards the
scene of conflict. His progress is not

on the hill watch him as he joins his
defeated comrades.
During all this time re1nforcements
have constantly been adding to the
number of minute-men, and they are
growing more and more confident.
Moreover, Col. Smith sees that the peo-
pie are desperately in earnest. He
gathers his men together, marches,

ZONES OF Family That Has Long Been

Jules Cambon, the French ambassa-

successful career. In his early youth
he belonged to that courageous and pa
triotic band of young men who formed
the nucleous of the republican party In
France, and who were unalterably and
unswervingly opposed to the govern

downfall Of Napoleon the Little and

well entered upon a career that was
big with future promise when he was
suddenly attacked by consumption. In
recognition of his services and in the
hope that it might prolong his life, a
place was found for him in Algeria,

little hope on the part of the friends

look upon his face again. Yet few

health that the French government not

his native country, but made him pre-

a few years there M. Cambon was pro-

WINDOW CLEANING EASY.
A Practical Way to Perform an On
pleasant Task.

pleasant Task.
First remove all dust, both outside
and inside. Use skewer and a cloth
to clean corners and grooves. If the
woodwork needs cleaning, do this
next. If planted, clean by rubbing with
whiting and cold water mixed to the
consistency of cream, then thoroughly
rinse first with hot water and then
with cold, and dry thoroughly. Var
nished wood should be we'll rubbed
with boiled linseed oil and then well
polished with soft buster. The glass
may be washed with clear tepid water,
to which ammonia or paraffin
has been added in the proportion of a
tablespoonful to a gallon, or cleaned
with whiting like paint. Have plenty
of clean, soft cloths, chamois leather,
and soft paper-Crumpled newspapers
does excellently. Dip the chamois in
a bowl of tepid water, ammonia and
water, or whatever you may be using,
squeeze it almost dry, and rub the
glass with this, rinsing it often. After
all dirt has been removed in this man
ner, rub dry with clean soft cloth
and then polish with soft paper. Be
careful to get all corners clean. II
you prefer to use whiting it must be
mixed with cold water to paste about
as thick as thin cream. Dip a clean
cloth in this and polish as you would
silver. Rub off the whiting with soft
paper, and polish with clean soft
paper. In damp weather it is a good
plan to add little ammonia to the
whiting and water, as this makes the
glass, dry more quickly, and it is less
trouble to polish. The great secrets
are to have the cloths clean. to use
plenty of them. and not to make the
glass so wet that the water drips
from it.
