LUCKY LAST LOOK

comparatively 1e" Ol lIc
present generation know how near
TO being lost was one of the most
precious of our national docu-
ments, the Declaration Of Indep-
endence. 1t was during the war
OF 1872. The Declaration of Inde-
pendence hung in the state depart
ment in the room then occupied by
Stephens Pleasonton. Mr..
Beasley. commissary of prisone S
Of war in London, forwarded to
the state department tome Lon.
don newspapers, stating that The
English fleets and transports were
receiving troops at Bordeaux,
France, with the intention of open
ing against Washington and Balti-
more. Soon after it WIS learned
that the British fleet was in
Chesapeake bay and that it was
ascending the Pautuxent. The
officials and citizens of the little
capital city were hourly expecting
an attack.
Upon receipt Of this informa-
ton, which was few days before
the enemy entered Washington,
Mr.. Monroe, then secretary of
state. James Madison being presi-
dent. mouted his horse, rode To-
Benedict, small village on the
Patuxent. where the Bri ish forces
were being landed, and climbed
an eminence within a quarter of a
mile Of the village, in order to
ascertain the strength of the
enemy. Being convinced, after
his inspection, that we had no
force available that could
successfully resist them. he sent a
note to Mr.. Plsasonton by a
vidette, advising him to see that
the best care was taken of the
books and papers of the site
department.
Acting at o1ce upon this
authority, Mr.. Pleasonton
purchased some coarse linen and
had 1t made into bags OF suitable
size, in which he. assisted by
others in the Office, placed the
books and other papers.
While engaged in this work
General Armstrong. then secretary
Of war. passing to his own Office,
remarked that he thought they
were unnecessarily alarming
themselves. as he did not think
the British were serious in their
Intentions Of coming to Washing
ton. Fortunately Mr.. nleasonton
was Of q different opinion. and
observed that 1t was the part Of
prudence to take measures to pre-
serve these valuable papers of
their revolutionary government.
Had Mr.. Pleasonton delayed but a
few days. had no followed the
advice Of the secretary OF war
an irreparable loss would have
been sustained. For the papers
