TELLS OF HISTORIC OCCASION
Christopher Marshail's Account Of
Reading Of the Declaration of
independence in Philadelphia.

There are three or four contem-
porary accounts of the first public
reading Of the Declaration of indie
pendence, none Of them very full of
particulars and all of them lacking
in agreement on some points. One
of the best accounts is that of Chris
topher Marshall, who was a member
Of the committee on safety and who
was in an official position in Phila--
delphia. This brief record of that
historic occasion will be found in his
"Remembrancer." He writes: Warm
sunshiny morning. At eleven went
and met the committee of inspection
at the Philosophical hall; went there
In a body to the lodge; joined the.
committee of safety Gas called) !; went
in a body to the state house yard,
where in the presence of a great con-
course of people the Declaration of
independence was read by John
Nixon. The company declared their
appreciation by three repeated huzzas.
The kings arms were taken down in
the courtroom, state house, at the
same time. This day the
eight members for this county to serve
in convention were elected very quiet
ly at the state house. Fine, starlight,
ringing bells, with other great demon
strations of joy upon the unanimity
and agreement Of the Declaration"

Some 40 years ago, in what was
every man and boy owned a musket
and knew how to use it.
They were skilled in woodcraft,
knew their own country and could
bring down any game within range
with one shot.
Yet in all the terrible years of the
Revolutionary war 1t took 100000 of
them to defeat 10000 invaders.
The British could not shoot as well
and neither did they possess the spirit
of the American %colonist, who was
fighting for his home and his convic-
lions.
But they were organized! They were
trained!
Organization and training, brought
over 1900 miles of sea, kept them go
ing in a strange and hostile country
where they were greatly ou%tnumbered
by the inhabitants and enabled them
to remain there for eight years!

Lafayette y; tt
SSs4saadSSlsaE@&g

Whether you have been there or r
planning to go, here's q story of Val
ley Forge you will want to remember.
I give it as it was told by a writer in
Our Dumb Animals:
The incident I am about to relate oc-
cured in 1924, during Lafayette's last
visit to this country. Forty years had
passed since his promise to Washing
ton to return as his guest. He was
now nearly 20 years old, but his heart
beat as warmly for his adopted coun-
try as in those earlier days when he
had fought for its liberties.
A brilliant reception was under way.
a slowly moving line of stately guests
passed by Lafayette, who greeted each
with courtly grace. Presently there APP.
preached an old soldier, clad in a worn
Continental uniform. In his hand was
an ancient musket, and across his
shoulder vas Thrown a small blanket.
or rather a piece of a blanket.
On reaching the marquis the vet.
eran drew himself up in the stiff fash.
ion of the old-time drill and gave the
military salute. AS Lafayette made
the return signal, tears started to
his eyes. The tattered uniform, the
ancient fiintlock, the silver-haired sol.
dier, even older than himself, recalled
the dear past. s
30 you know mel" asked the sol
dier.

frank reply.

A valuable contribution to the e
York records Of the Revolutionary
war appears in the latest volume of
the collections of the New York His
torical society. 1t contains the hith-
tigation into the great increase in war
expenditures incurred by the British
army in New York city from May,
ITS, when Sir Henry Clinton succeed
ed Gen. William Howe in command.
The vouchers Of the quartermaster's,
commissary's, and other departments
showed that from May &c, IT'S, to
December 81, 1880, the expense Of
maintaining the army had exceeded by
over 100000 the expense under Gen
eral Howe's command from December
81, 1775, to May 16, ITS, a period Of
two months shorter duration.
The expense under General Howe
was 91,O79,412; under General Gin
ton ~f3,27S,429. Rating the pound at
$3.50, which was then it's currency
value, the increase represents about
$5,500,0OO.
The original volume is in manu-
script, in n handwriting, containing
copies of all the papers and letters
submitted to the board of general Of
t1cers appointed by General Clinton on
August z, 1881, to inquire into the
expense accounts. 1t is evidently the
copy prepared for Clinton himself.
The original letters, if in existence,
are probably buried in the British
army records. The volume was dis
covered in London by an old book
dealer several years ago, and was pur-
chased by a former president of the
New York Historical society for pre-
sentation to its library.
The documents cover the period
from August to December, 1881. In
contrast to the miserable results that
the British army could show to the
home Office, this great expenditure
had alarmed the commissioners of his
majesty's treasury, and Clinton's
commissioner of accounts, Major
Drummond. admits in one of his let
tiers having been requested from Lon
don to curtail all improper charges,
as an examination inIo the extraor-
binary expenditures for the American
war was under consideration.
For the British the period covered
by the investigation in New York was
the most depressing of the war.
Andre had been executed in the fall
of the preceding year. The Carolinas,
through the brilliant campaigns Of
General Greene, had been recovered
to the American cause. CORVALLIS
had succeeded in getting himself
trapped at Yorktown, and on October
10, 1871, his army surrendered to
Washington.
No mention of this event, which took
place during the investigation, Is
made, but among the list OF British
officers In New York appears the
name OF Brig. Gen. Benedict Arnold,
He is mentioned two or three times
III the list enumerating the number
of horses and wagons detailed to the
officers and regiments OF the army.
These detailed lists enhance the To-
col interests Of the volume, as they
give an accurate record Of the num-
Der OF men. women and children In the
British and Hessian regiments, the
muster roll D all the assistants,
drivers, carpenters. artiacera. and other

New Facts
About
Bunker ! Ill
%@3aEZ

~ Inere are many OQQ as we'll as I'M
familiar facts in regard to the battle
Of Bunker Hill, the dawn Of the Revo-
lution," fought June IL, 1775.
It is q curious fact, writes Alexander
Corbett in the Boston Globe, that Gen.
Artemas Ward, American commander
IN chief, did not believe the erection
Of the redoubt would spur the British
10 attack the hill, but feared and pre-
pared for a %retaliatory attack on the
American camp in Cambridge.
And the 1000 or more provincials
who built the redoubt during the night
pf June 16 had no idea that after a
sleepless night and nearly 10 hours
labor of the hardest kind with not
drop Of water within half a mile, they
would be called upon. to fight one OF
the memorable battles in history.
They had been promised that fresh
troops would relieve them the morn
ing Of the 18th. Deep was their con-
sternation when, hungry, thirsty and
Bleepy, and while the British were pre-
pairing to cross the river, Colonel Pres
:ott, their commander, on being asked
70 send to Cambridge for the fresh
troops for their relief, coolly replied:
mo, boys, only those who built the
eedoubt shall have the honor Of de-
lending it,,
1t was n wonderful proof of the
farmer ~colonel's influence over his
farmer heroes that they accepted his
aictum without a murmur. and pre-
pared for the reception of the enemy !
Hundreds Of redcoats had deserted
TO the Americans in the six months
preceding the battle of Bunker Hill,
and even a number of officers had
written home to England that they
had no heart in their work here and
sympathized with the Americans in
their stand.
Even while the British attacking
line was being formed at the foot ot
Breeds hill, the correct name of the
elevation where the battle occurred
A dozen or more redcoats made a dash
TO join the Americans. In order te
stop so serious a menace, Genera
Howe, the British commander, had two
OF the deserters who were caught
hanged8to the nearest apple tree as an
example to the rest.
No Field Artillery.
Many modern accounts of the battle
of Bunker Hill contain references tt
the effect of British and American ar
tillery fire there, yet Gen. Henry Dear
born, then a lieutenant with JohI
Stark's New Hampshire troops, de
clared that not a shot was fired b,
field artillery on either side during Thu
battle.
Both armies had artillery, but tn,
British had only tWelve-pnunder ball!
for six-pounder guns and the American
artillery men were not to be founI
when they were needed. The Ameri
q In the redoubt were exposed t,
bombardment by British warships an,
the battery on Cops hill, however.
The noise of the guns was hear,
about noon$in Newport, r. L, by Presi
dent Stiles of Yale college, who wa
at Newport that day. AT least, he s.
declared when he heard OF the bath
later.
