Romance of the Revolution. BY FLOSSIE MILLER, It was on the 26th day of September, 1777, that Gen. Howe, with a magnifi­ cent array of 18,000 British and Tones, made his triumphal advance into the city of Philadelphia, proclaiming to the terrified inhabitants that he had no ia- teotion of withdrawing his forces until the next spring. Everywhere was consternation and dismay. The people realized what it meant to provide food,clothing and shel­ ter for so large au army and for HO long a time, besides the risk they must un­ dergo in being daily exposed" to the merciless treatment of marauding sol­ diers. So great was the excitement that hundreds of those who had hereto­ fore beeu known as the "staunchest Whigs in America," immediately re­ nounced all allegiance to the bruve and unoffending Gen. Washington, to be- oome henceforth and lorever true and loyal subjects of King George 111, full- fledged and '"dyed in the wool." But thank fortune there were still left within the precincts of that city a goodly number of Whig families who firmly maintained there patriotic equi­ librium, though tossed rudely about on the billows of excitement, and when the storm had somewhat abated, were found standing bravely on their feet, but more steadfast and loyal than ever iu the cause they had so ardently es­ poused. Of nuch were tke family of Philip Knowles, a Philadelphia blacksmith of the truest type. All summer his wife and daughter Phoebe, a bngli buxom lass of 18, had faithfully worked, day and night, weaving linen, knitting socks, molding bullets, etc., for the American soldiers; and now that they were surrounded by the enemy and Lord Howe had instructed his men, if possible, to prevent the manufacture of bullets by the Whigs in that city, they were only more determined to outwit him. "The last pewter spoon and plate about the house shall be made into bul­ lets for our soldiers, and Phoebe and I will mold them this very day if it's ne­ cessary," little Mrs. Knowles would al­ ways declare with a very great deal of ardor and enthusiasm whenever the sub­ ject was Mentioned, and sh? had not long to wait for an opportunity of prov­ ing how deeply in earnest she was with ever word she uttered. The British had been lodged in their eity scarcely a week when Philip came in at supper time one evening looking pale and excited. "No supper for/no to-night," he Raid in a low, scarcely au-! one of General Howe's prying officers. upon us to-night and try to rob us of our ballets, as they did at good old Granny Wilson's last night. Methinks they might smell a goodly bit of gun­ powder from that same firelock flying about their heads. I do so loath the very sight of them," answered Phcebe vivaciously, tossing her glossy black curls about her plump shoulders with a saucy air of defiance. > Mrs. Knowles emerged into the kitchen and soon returned bearing two sets of bullet molds and a small iron kettle filled with sundry articles of pew­ ter ware such as spoon**, plates, cups, eta This she hung on a cran^ in the wide, open fire-place and then sat down to watch the last piece of table ware melt away before her very eyes. Phoebe in the meantime had hung bed quilts over the windows, stopped every crack and crevice about the little room where she thought it possible for a particle of light to shine through, and after thoroughly dosing the old rifle with gunpowder, had stood it up against the chimney-piece where she might s-eize it at a moment's notice, if it chanced to be necessary. Neither of the womoa dare ' speak a •word on the subject that was upper­ most in their minds--the great battle that was to be fonght on the morrow-- for fear some sly British spy might be lurking with an ear at the keyhole, so the work of bullet-making was executed with the utmost silence. The old clock on the mantel-piece ticked away quite cheerily, a9 though there was nothing but perpetual peace and happiness for the whole outside world in general, the blazing fire in the old fire-place sissed and crackled in the same merry train, the tallow candle waxed dim time after time only to be snuffed up again brighter than ever bv careful Mrs. Knowles--and thus the work progressed until past midnight. By 1 o'clock they were almost through and a large leather pouch filled with bright, shining bullets lay on the-hearthstone as a result of their night's labor, when all of a sudden "click!* "click P sounded the gate latch and footsteps were distinctly heard ap­ proaching the front door. "Hark!" cried Phoebe, "I hear men's voices! May be it's the Britishers! Jump int? bed quick, mother, and let me talk to them. I'll tell them vou're sick." "Mrs. Knowles obeyed and Phoebe had barely time to shore the pouch of bullets and molds under the bed when there came a loud rap at the door. Phoebe opened it rather cautious­ ly, peering out into the darkness as she did so, and came very near giving a lit­ tle scream when three British soldiers rudely forced themselves in and stalked deliberately up to the fire-place where they stood chafing their hands over the dying embers. And there hung that iron kettle, with still a small bit of molten pewter in the bottom! "I beg your pardon, Miss, for this in­ trusion," began the tallest and best- looking of the three, "but Gen. Howe has authorized me to make investiga­ tions wherever I chance to toe a light burning at an unusual hour in the night I noticed a bright gleam from under your door and have come to see if there is anything wrong." "What a silly goose I was for not thinking of the orack under the door," thought Phoebe to herself. Bat what should she say? He was wating for a reply and looking suspi­ ciously all the while at the iron kettle. She did not sptsak at all until she ad­ vanced a step forward and laid her plump, white hands on the old firelock. This must have given her some inspira­ tion for she immediately answered in the most sarcastic tones and with a most defiant toss of her pretty head: "Indeed! you are very kind! Well, if you must know, mother, has one of her sick spells, and I've been boiling her some tea." The officer eyed her very keenly as she spoke, with something like a look of mingled surprise and merriment in his large, bine eyes and Phoebe was al­ most certain he made a faint attempt at smiling. "And may I ask what you are going to do with that gun?" he said again. "I am going to use it if I have oc­ casion to," replied Phcebe very de­ cidedly. He really did smiie this time, she was certain of it "We'd better be going, I guess, boys," he said, turning to his companions "The lady has answered my ques­ tions." "I'm sorry to have disturbed you," he said to Phoebe as he bowed himself very politely out-of-doors, "but you know I'm sworn to obey orders." He was so kind and 60 polite that Phoebe was beginning to think there might be something Dike magnanimity and generosity of soul in the character of a redcoat, after all, even when em­ bodied in such a mercenary creature as dible voice. "There's to be a supprised attack on the British at Germantown to-morrow and I'm ordered to Washing­ ton's camp to-night. Our men are greatly in need of ammunition,too. Mold all the pewter ware up 'r, ' " you can scrape b and I'll send for 'em in the morning early. Be sure to blind the windows well so as to keep them sly Britishers from peepin* in upon yon. But I can trust you and Phoebe, Mother;-there ain't two such brave women in all Amer- iky. Good-night! and may jGod bless and keep you!" He buttoned the velvet collar of his old corduroy overcoat close about his throat, pulled the old white hat much further over his face than he was wont-- probably to hide a few unbidden t-earg-- and was gone. It might be for the last time. Who could toll one minute what the next would bring about in those thrilling times of war and havoc? But it was no time for poor Mrs. Knowles and Phoebe to sit down and brood over their grief. There was no better way of showing their love and respect for the one who had just left them than by faithfully performing their duty to their country--an ex­ ample of which he had so nobly set before them. The last echoes of Philip's retreating footsteps had hardly died away on the stone pavement when Mrs. Knowles and Phoebe began making vigorous preparations for theii night's work. You may gather up the pewter ware, Mother, and I'll blind the windows and stop the key-holes," spoke Phoebe in an undertone as she made a dive at a stack of bed-quilts which lay on a box in one corner of the little, old fashioned sit- tiog-room, and began unfolding the heaviest ones to hang over the windows. 'Twere well to look to yonder fire­ lock too and get it in readiness," said Mrs. Knowles nodding her head toward the front door, where an old rifle lay suspended on two iron hooks just above the entrance. Trust me for that, Mother. I fear I almost wish for the redooats to break i» During the excitement which ensued for the next two or three days Phoebe had very little time to think of this ad­ venture, but what was her surprise, and --shall I say it? gratification, when one day after her father had come home from the battle of Germantown alive and well and all was quiet again as the nature of the times permitted, she re ceived a note from one Captain Brown, a British officer. The very gentleman that had inter­ rupted their bullet-making! Of course he complimented her bravery and begged the honor of further acquaint­ ance. Well, it was the "old story over again, and that contradictory girl married a British officer! One of the class she "perfectly loathed the sight of!" Such is the inconsistency of woman, and always was and always will be.;-- Hearth and Hall. Qalck a* Lightning. It has been proven time after time that a lion can dodge a rifle ball when fired at above thirty yards away, and that's the quickest thing, except light­ ning, there is in this country.--Free Press. It is evident that the writer of the above isn't acquainted with the na­ tural history of Michigan, or he wouldn't mention the lion or even lightning while the wild hog of the upper penin­ sula still roams those hilly wilds, when the question of rapidity of movement is mooted. Bartley Breen, of Menominee, carries a bullet wound in his right breast which is now introduced for the velocity of motion of the wild hog. Bartley was gunning among the hills one day: and gaining the top of a ridge a wild hog came at him open-mouthed and with tusks flashing. Bringing his rifle rapidly up to his shoulder he fired, and the bullet entered the wild hog's open mouth. Quick as it entered, the hog turned to run down hill, and such was the astonishing rapidity of the turn that the bullet entered Bartley's breast, and he fell to the ground. He was taken to his residence, No. 103 Slab avenue, in the. emergency ambulance.-- Detroit Neu>$, .. .$1,200 00 ... 420 00 ... 4,59J 12 ... 1,575 0C ... 2,000 00 ... 125 00 ... 320 00 • Too Saving. * Aunt Betroy Hicks, a New England woman who had been left a widow after a few years of married life, "carried on" her late husband's farm with a good deal of ability, bnt with such close economy that her saving devices grew famous in the country round about. Ne*t to her economy of provisions, her economy of firewood was perhaps her chief concern. At one time a sister of her late husband, from "down coun­ try," came to make her a visit, and soon became convinced that Betsey was en­ deavoring to freeze her out. But per-, haps this was not so, since the temper­ ature was as Mrs. Hicks usually kept it "I declare," the visitor ventured to exclaim, "I should think you kept it pretty cold here, Betsey!" * "That 'ere pesky thermometer's to blame, Susan," said Betsey. "I guess it's got choked up. 1 can't get it above fifty to save my life!" *» Then she turned over the stick of wood in the sheet-iron stove, while her guest walked up and down the room with her hands thrust ap the sleeves of her dteas'. The visitor remained at Atint Betsey's for several days, however, in spite of the choked-up thermometer, spending much of her time in bed, or watching a chance to smuggle a stick into the stove when her hostess was out of the room. Late one afternoon she happened to go out into the woodshed, and found Aunt Betsey there, with an old 6hawl wrapped around her shoulders and a stick in her hand, engaged in violently stirring something in a large tin can. A strong Bmell of petroleum tilled the air. "Betsey Hicks," said the visitor, "what be yon a-doin'?" " Wal, if you want to know," said Aunt Betsey, "I thought I'd see if I couldnt stir a leetle mite o' water int' the karo- eene. I reckoned it'd go a leetle fu'ther, 'ih so much comp'ny in the house as I seem to have!" Her guest went away early the next morning on the stage-coach. Can Silo Live On It t A young woman well-known in so­ ciety has been allowed by the referee in a will case an increase of $7,500 a year income over that provided for her by the testament of her grandfather. The increase was based on the follow­ ing items, which the referee holds are essential to her well-beiug: Salary for chaperon............, l'ocket money.... living expenses ' Kent Clothing l>entistry Medical attendance.... This brings the income of the young woman up to slightly over $10,000; but how dreadfully restricted it leaves her! Where do soda water, malinee tickets, bon-bons, and novels come in? Does any refeiee think that $420 a year is going to supply any woman who can af­ ford $2,000 a year for dress with their other joys, without which life is empty ? Where is there any provision for gas bills? If the possessor of this income is not to have candy why should she be compelled to spend $125 a year on her teeth ? Is she at liberty to divert any portion of her medical attendance ap­ propriation to such necessities of a happy life as horses, hat pins, bangle rings, and Becamier cream? Or must she borrow mOnej of her chaperon to pay for them ? When a woman's income becomes a matter of public record through the courts the public are naturally inter­ ested in the matter, and some slight ex­ planation of the plan the executors seemed to have mapped out would in­ terest them still more. The necessity of such an explanation is quite evident When a precedent for limiting an h«iress to a pitiful $10,000 is estab­ lished the interests of other heiresses demand that an explanation should be made.--Neto York Continent. An Aston lulled Booster. As we turned into the main highway leading to Indianapolis from a cross road we fell in rear of a funeral proces­ sion about half a mile long, which was made up of farmers and villagers. We had gone nearly a mile when we saw a man running across a field, hatless, coatless, vestless, and barefooted. He was waving his hands and shouting, and the procession at once halted to see what was the matter. He struck the head of it, and, as he climbed over the six-rail fence alongside the highway and got his breath, he gasped out: "All of you folks come right over there as quick as you can P "Why, Ben, what's the. matter? asked the preacher in charge. "Come as quick as you can!" Hrged the other by voice and gesture, "for plugged the hole up before I left!" "But what is it?" "It's a rabbit--biggest one you ever saw--rabbit in a holler stump--and it won't take over fifteen minutes to c'#op him outP "Move on, driver 1* commanded the preacher. "But hold on 1 He's in there, and plugged the hole, and it won't take me ten minutes to get an ax." The procession moved on and contin­ ued to move, and by the time our team got up the farmer's face expressed about eleven different sorts of emotions. "What's the trouble?" I asked. "Why--why--gosh hang it! I've got the biggest kind of a rabbit plugged up over here in a holler stump! "And the procession wouldn't wait to help you chop it out?" "No! I've heard that Injianny was turning over a new leaf and a-cominr right up to frills and scollops, but I never believed it afore! Won't stop and help chop out a rabbit--a great big rabbit--g-o^s-h."--N. 11 Sun. • Give Our Sailors Hall. Americans have a keen sense of jus­ tice. Those of them who cross the ocean frequently must often have felt the injustice residing in the fact that the proceeds of the concerts given in t«e steamer's saloon invariably were transferred to the treasury of a British institution; and this, too, although the great majority of the passengers . were invariably Americans. It is a gratifi­ cation to record that the White btar Line has made 6 new departure. It has informed the American Seaman's Friend Society that one-half of the money contributed at these entertain­ ments on its vessels will hereafter be given to American charities for seamen. This is as it shonld be. American travelers are generous as well as just, and they will not object if half of the money thus secured goes to England. The other steamship lines should have no hesitation in following the White Star's example.--New York Tribune. The unhappiest being; in the world is the person who regrets.

Why Their Nona are Cold. Everybody is aware that a dog's nose is always cold, but very few people know why. The cartilage composing tho outer surface of a dog's nose is al­ most destitute of blood vessels, but plen­ tifully supplied with glands which exude a watery secretion that, by its evapora­ tion, keeps the nose below tho normal temperature. The dog's sense of smell is located iu the nerves within the nos­ trils, and it is probable that these are kept in better condition by the low tem­ perature of the cartilaginous tip of the nose. The state of a dog's health is at once indicated by the nose, for no do? with a hot, dry nose can be healthy, and one of the first signs of rabies is dryness and heat of the nose, for these symptoms Indicate fever, and fever is the beginning of hydrophobia --Globe-D.mocrat.
