"The old colonel pitched into him well for

Putnam shouted to him that it was only a
keg of onion seed, few grains of powder
having been sprinkled near it.
Putnam reached a high place in the army,
ranking first major general, second in rank
to Washington alone. His energy, dash and
cool, persistent courage deserved it. The

Dwight, of Yale, fittingly refers to him as
one who dared to lead where any dared to

hither and thither by Nature in some cap
ricious mood"
Some of the blocks are piled upon each 9TH
er in such manner as to cause lively i'm
agination to fancy them giants barring the
way.
According to Indian folklore, these blocks
were brought hither some four thousand years
ago, in this manner:
The monkeys, which, in the earliest times,
the Himaayas, seized on the remarkable idea
of building bridge between the mainland and
Ceylon, and, headed by their leaders, they left
their settlements for the south, carrying with
them, from their mountains, materials for
their gigantic bridge. But the road became too
long for them, and they were obliged, on
reaching the spot where Hyderabad now
stands, to throw their loads away, and here
they lie to-day.
