Franklin's Diplomacy.

In old Lyme, Conn, Is one Of the cell
ebrated Franklin milestones which in
1776 saw Washington pass into Lyme
on his way from Cambridge after the
British had evacuated Boston. Frank
lin measured the miles by machine
of his own invention attached to his
chaise, the ancestor of our cyclometer.
In "Old Paths and Legends Of the New
England Border Katharine NJ. Abbott
gives this story of n visit Mr.. Franklin
made In Lyme:
When on one of his frequent jour
neys over the post road from Philadel-
phla to Boston he arrived at an inn not
far from Lyme one frosty night.
Franklin found every inch of the blaZ-
ing log pre-empted by village politi-
clans swapping news and thereupon
ordered peck Of oysters for his horse.
The entire company followed the land
lord to see the miracle. When mine
host returned to say that the horse re-
fused to feed on oysters Franklin was
discovered ensconced in the warmest
corner, quite reconciled to a meal Off
the oysters himself.
