Prices Were High.

The man who jumps at the conclusion
that the bill shows that there was a bac-
chanalian feast on the evening in question
may be wrong, however. At that period in
the revolutionary days Jamaica rum, from
which punch was made, was as scarce as
water on the great deserts of the west
Only a nervy blockade runner could get the
punch into Baltimore with the waters of
this country surrounded by British ships
So the keeper of the inn had to charge ac-
cording to the cost Of the rum from which
the punch was made. The wine was cheap
err and probably more plentiful.
It is possible that the dinner was given
to foreign officers maybe Frenchmen, who
were In this country, and that Washington
was making great show for the benefit
Of his country and his cause. The SUPPOSE
ton from the reading of the bill, however,
Is that Gen. Washington and seven members
of his staff, each accompanied by servant,
passed through Baltimore, had some time,
were feeling elated to the appearance Of
things and concluded they would make up
for all they had lost at Valley Forge. The
sixteen horses that were cared for showed
one for each officer and servant and an adj
ditional horse for General Washington him.
self.
The Maryland historians who are looking
up the facts may find pretty soon what
the occasion was for so much hilarity and
be able to tell whether General Washing
toms servant had to undress him that
night. The chance is strong, however. that
the commander in-chief walked off on both
feet and without assistance, as otherwise
the bill would have included charges for
lodging. The European plan of hotel keep
ing was not then In style. but the bill for
lodgings is thought to be for the servants
only. There was no charge for breakfast
for anybody, and it is regarded likely
that the party spent the night elsewhere
and left Baltimore early the next morning,
taking breakfast at some other point.
Many papers Of as great historic interest
as this are preserved by the government,
not Only relating to General Washington
personally. but to the army and other
branches Of the government service.

A French scientist accounts for the fact

minute blood vessels in the retina of their
eyes are congested. In this condition they
appear black and are projected into the
field of vision, where their movements re-
