much pleased over the recovery of Mr.

pain that he could not sleep. He was
very bad.
Just then, someone suggested q new

AFTER PASSAGE OF PORT BILL.

veillance over the passers in and out.
The British ministry thought to
st&rve Boston into submission, and, be-
lieving also that the pocket nerve
was the particularly sensitive part Of
the Boston Yankees anatomy, hoped
by cutting off his trading facilities to
bring him to his knees.
The moment BOstOns needs were
known, the neighbOring towns and the
most distant colonies FASTENED to her
assistance Their sympathy took the
practical form of contributions of cat
tie, sheep, corn, vegetables, fish and
other necessities.
Then came implements Of war from
Virginia, where Washington and Pat
rick Henry were raising small COM
panies of men to go to the aid OF
starving Boston.
The functions Of the town appear to
have been attended to in spite Of the
presence of a hostile military force,
and in no way more Systematically
than in the town meetings which were
held in Faneuil Hall pursuant to ad-
JOurnment.
Gage had forbidden the calling OF
these meetings except as authorized
by himself; but Boston would have
given up every other privilege Of citi-
zenship before she would have yielded
this transcendant one. Hence by a
little parliamentary device the free
holders kept the town meeting perpetu-
ally alive by continuous adjournment.
The spectacle of this town of 1900
inhabitants in the face Of a frowning
military governor and his soldiers,
calmly and openly gathering its citi-
zens to pursue a prohibited civic func-
ton. and there in open assembly to
concert measures designed to battle and
controvert the schemes Of a powerful
enemy, boldly tee. yet under diplO-
matte forms, criticising his conduct
and questioning his motives, is one
that surely approaches the sublime in
audacity.

the return lightning stroke of the min

No event in the series of causes that

as was this brutal measure.
Singular, indeed at the first blush,
it would seem, that such a vindictive
and utterly unstatesmanlike measure,
designed as it was to rivet the collar
Of political servitude upon the necks
Of great people. But the average
Englishman did not understand the

ton says that Captain Hale was ex-
amined in a greenhouse which then
stood in the garden of the Beekman
mansion.
Short was HIS trial, for he avowed at
once his true character. The British
general signed an order TO his provost
marshal directing him to receive into
his custody the prisoner convicted as
a spy, and to see him hanged by the
neck tomorrow morning at day
break"
Terrible things are reported OF the
manner in which this noble prisoner,
this admirable gentleman and hero.
was treated by his jailer and execu-
toner. There are savages in every
large army, and it is possible that this
provost-marshal was one of them. It
is said that he refused him writing
materials, and afterward, when Cap
tain Hale had been furnished them by
others. destroyed before his face his
last letters to his mother and to the
young lady to whom he was engaged to
be married. AS those letters were
never received, this statement may be
true The other alleged horrors of the
execution it is safe to disregard, be-
cause We know 1t was conducted in the
usual form and in the presence OF
many spectators and a considerable
| body of troops. One fact shines out
from the distracting confusion Of that
morning. which will be cherished 20
the latest posterity as precious ingot
| of the moral treasures Of the Ameri-
| can people. When asked II he had
anything to say, Captain Hale re-
| Piled:
Il only regret that I have but one
| life to lose for my country"
The scene OF his execution was prob
ably an old graveyard In Chambers
street, which was then called Barraclx
street. General Howe formally noti-
| fed General Washington OF his execu-
ton. In recent years, through the in
dustry Of investigators the pathos and
sublimity OF these events have been In
part revealed.
A few years ago bronze statue OF
the young hero was unveiled in the
New York City Hall Park. It Is great
| ly to be regretted that our knowledge
OF this noble martyr is so slight; but
we know enough to be sure that he
merits the generation Of his country
men.

The soldiers of Great Britain seem
destined to get their fill of bloodshed
before the halo of peace again settles
over these perturbed little isles. The
Mad Mullah, most fanatic OF midas
tribesmen, is on the warpath, arming
countless hordes against the mother
country" and instilling into them the
hatred OF the foe and disregard of
death the meaning of which the Brit
ish soldiers we'll know. Mullah's plan
is to form an alliance with the Mijer-
tain tribe, which will place $4,000 men
at his disposal. A feint in the direc-
ton of Der will. it is thought, make it
necessary for the British to enter the
lMijertain country. Terrible fighting
will ensue AS the natives are well
equipped with rifles and ammunition,
and the lines of communication with
the British may at any moment be
broken. The heat in India at present
Is intense, and it is telling on the
members of the British expedition.

only two-thirds of an acre. That
