OihAipHaiJ wan
All wars have their humors and
Jokes. and tile Revolutionary war was
no exception. IAN. >, 1777, figures In
history as the date Of the battle Of the

celebrated IN verse Six months after
the Declaration Of Independence, while
the British fleet was stationed at Phil
adelpha. the Americans undertook TO
destroy the ships by means Of impIo
yiSed torpedoes which, set atloat in
the river above the city, were to carry
death and destruction among the en-
envy.
The alleged torpedoes were shaped
like kegs. and when the British land
forces discovered them floating down
the river they were drnwn up and or
dered TO fire ON everything that came
within range. The officers remembered
the Trojan horse and feared every key
might coniain an armed rebel As the
kegs came floating down there was
great excitement and much firing hut
no casualties. The only explosions
were from the British guns. for the
torpedoeS were a failure.
The incident furnished much amuse-
ment to rhe patriots and was cleverly
versficd by Francis Hopkinson. a
prominent lawyer Of the day, one of
the signers Of the Declaration Of indie
pendence and the first district Judge
Of Pennsylvania by appointment of

A VERSE FOR THE BEGGAR.
Victor Huso's Response to the Old
Blind Soldiers Appeal.

A Freedman, writing recently upon
"The Meudcants of Paris" recalls a
pretty anecdote OF Victor Hugo and a
blind beggar. The beggar was an old
soldier, very feeble and quite sight
less, who was led every day by his
little granddaughter to a certain street
corner, where he waited patiently for
such scanty arms as the hurrying pub
lie might drop into small box that
hung from his neck.
One day a group Of gentlemen halted
near him, chatting, and he heard the
name by which they called the one
who fingered longest. Reaching for
ward as he, too, was about to go, he
caught him by the coat.
"What do you want, my good manw
asked the gentleman. Il have already
given you > SOUS"
"Yes, monsieur. and have thanked
you" replied the veteran. 1T is some
thing else that want"
"What is it5'
VERSES
"You shall have them" said the gen
tleman. and he kept his word. Tie
next day the blind soldier bore on his
breast a placard with stanza to
which was appended the name Of Vic
tor Hugo. and the aims in the box
We're Quintupled. The lines may be
thus translated:
Like Rclsarius and like Homer blind.
Led by young child on his pathway
dim.
