So the American commander bent all his Energies to deceive the British and bake them think that New York _Jvas still tho placo to bo attacked. Bndeotl we know that even after the ?march w-as begun the French troops, ?tvho went by tho way of Perth Am Koy, there stopped to build ovens od boats and gave out that they xte about to attack tho posts on taten Island and then move against e city. There were other means bat Washington used, however, to rmluce tho same impression even fore his army left Dobbs Ferry, nd it is with one of these that this ory has to do. 'I want to see Dominie Mon gniel" said an orderly to a com uiy of men who were seated near tent in the camp at Dobbs Ferry. "There he is over there, " replied ne of the soldiers, pointing to a oung man not far away. That Dominie Montagnie!" said |he orderly. "Why, he's only a "Boy or not, he's one of the tanchest Whigs in all this region, iero isn't a better man in all the jntinental army, " replied the sol ?er. The orderly left, and as he ap proached the young man shrewdly ?canned his face. Evidently he was tatiefied with what he saw, for he it once addressed him: "Is this Dominie Montagnie?" "Yes," replied the young preach er, returning the look to the officer. "Well, General Washington wants |o see you at once." "Wants to see me? What for?" "I don't know. Come with me and fou will soon know. " ?oung Montagnie asked no further ?Gestions, but arose and s^cornps ed his guide to the quarters of the Emander. He had never spoken him before, but he shared fully the feeling of respect which all e army had for their leader, and e was somewhat abashed when the ;eneral rose to receive him and d scarcely reply to the kind ords he spoke when he WOB pre med. "Yes, I have known of yea, " said asbington, "and from all I cari I am certain I can rely upon m Is thia true?" T try to do my best, general," id Montagnie modestly. "That's right.

"My time hos come, " he said to himself. "If I can once get safely through this place, I have no fear of tho rest of the way. " But he was more excited than ho know, and he was breathing rapidly ns ho entered the pas3. Ho grasped hi? heavy walking stick more tightly and glanced about him. The passage between the hills was becoming very narrow. Beside the roadway there were only a narrow little strip of land and the swift flowing stream that ran noisily on its way. The steep hillsides rose a br up': and rocky. Tho damp, cool air of the early morning, the noise of the stream, the threatening cliffs and bowlders, "which might conceal some vf his enemies, all increased the nervous dread of the messenger, and he quickened his stops. Once through, his greatest danger would be passed. "This will never do," thought Montagnie. "If any one is watch ing me, I shall arouse his suspicions if I run. " And he began to walk lei surely, although his fear increased each moment. Up to this time he had seen no one and had met no in terruption on his journey. Perhaps his ,fear wns unreasonable, but he had thought eo much and so long of this place and was so familiar with the stories of the deeds of tho mur dering cowboys there that every sense was alert Several times he thought he saw faces peering out fxom behind the bowlders, but be had not stopped and now ht was al most through the pass. Yes, he could see where the valley became wide before him, and soon he would bo out from under these terrible cliffs, with their long shadov.s and dark hiding places. He began to breathe more freely now and again quickened his pace. Harkl What waB that? He stopped and listened, and in a mo ment he knew he had not been de ceived. He could hear the sound ol approaching horsemen, and they were coming rapidly down the toad before him. He glanced behind for a hiding place, and already had started tc climb the cliffs when he caughl sight of the approaching men anc realized that he could not gain t place of concealment before tbej would be near enough to see him Perhaps they had already discoveret him. There was nothing left but tc resume his place in the road, walt on as though ho neither feared noi suspected anything and keep on ai bold a face as possible. But if hit face was bold, it was the only bolt thing about him, for his heart sanl when he saw the six men enter thi pass and bring their horses to a wall when they noticed the stranger. He could see their faces now, an< his alarm increased when he recog nized the leader as Richard Smith He had been at Goshen when his fa thex, Claudius Smith, along wit! Gordon and De la Mar, had beei hanged. Montagnie knew what x desperado Claudius Smith had been and what a terror his gang of cow boys had been in Orange county am along the borders of New Jersey Many rewards had been offered fo hia arrest, and about a year and ; half before this tim a he had beet captured at Oyster Bay and taken t Goshen, where he was ohained t the floor of the jail and a stroni guard placed over him. All his efforts to escape had bee: in vain,- and with his two oompar. iona he had been hanged, aa Mot tagnie himself knew, for he ha beau in Gophon on that very das But Smith's son, Richard, had bee avenging the death of his fathei and the poor Whigs in that regio had been suffering more at his hand than they had from his fathei These were the thoughts that wei passing rapidly through the mind c the messenger, and there was thi desperado. Richard Smith, a] proaching and with him five me as desperate as he at his back. Wht villainous looking men they wer? Hie grasped his walking stick moi firmly and tried to appear cairn. "Good morrow, gentlemen," sal Montagnie. A graff word was the only repli hut each man was glancing sharp] at him. Evidently they were snap clous, but, as they passed on, Moi tagnie breathed more easily. Tl danger was almost passed and in moment he would be beyond the sight. But he was not to escape so easil; Without turning his head he wi aware that they had stopped az were watching him. The momei was a critical c na Would it neve come to an endt "Hold, stranger I" called one < uio uiou. "Tua navel carly."

"Oh, up the road here, among tl hills." Smith laughed derisively as he x plied: "That won't do. Up the roi may lead to Morristown or it mi be New York. You'll have to gi; an account cf yourself. " Tho yoting preacher glane? quickly about him. Shou.d he ti to fight? Six men, armed ai mounted, were before him, and th? would think no moro of shootii him than they would a squirrel 1 the roadside. But the leader hi -..A., UVOllUUUU, I1UU he turned to his naen and eaid: "Search him, boys. If ho's straight, it'll do no harm, and if he isn't it's *ho thing to be done." In a moment Montagnie had for gotten his caution. If tho papers were found, they would perhaps kill him, and if he must dio he would sell his life as dearly as possible. He had been so quiet that the t^/o wLo approached wero taken off their guard when he suddenly whirled his heavy stick and struck one a heavy blow and then turned io the other. With a bound he leaped over the fallen men and started for the cliff a It was a des perate venture, and evory moment he expected to hear the sound of their guns. He struggled on, how ever, unmindful of everything but his own desire to escape. "Don't shoot I Don't shoot I" he heard Smith call. "He may be worth more alive than dead. Ha, ha I Who would have thought such a peaceable looking youngster would have given such a rap i " And he laughed again when he saw how angry his companions were. "Tnke after him; bu quick or he'll get away. " Montagnie was struggling desper ately to make his way up tho hill side. For a moment he thought they had abandoned the pursuit, al though he wondered why they did not shoot, but he soon understood it j all when he saw two of tho men coming toward him. They had known of a path, and, by taking it, had been able to gain the heights above. To attempt further flight was use less now, and without a word he fol lowed his captors to the road be neath. "Take him up to the hut, boys," said Smith, and the messenger soon found himself in a rude log house about 200 yards from the road and concealed among the defiles of the hills. "Now search him, " said the lead er, and the men immediately began to do his bidding. His three cor nered hat was out into pieces, but nothing was found in it. Next his coat was taken off, and in a moment one of them exclaimed: "Here's something. It's inside the lining. " And he cut open the sleeve and took out the dispatches, which ho tossed to Smith. The leader quickly opened them, and as he read th? others watched him keenly. 'It's a good find, boys, and all right. That's what comes of mak ing a general out of a farmer. Who was the fool that tried to hide this in the lining of a sleeve f" he in quired, turning to Montagnie. 'Why, it's the very first place we'd look into. And you must have been drunk to think you could get through Bainapo pass with them. You don't look like a lack wit, but you must have been not to have taken the upper road But Clinton will be glad to get this I Now, boys, what shall we do with this fellow, hang bim or send him away?" "Shoot him I" said the one whom the messenger had struck. "It's none too good for him. " "Well see about that a little later," replied Smith. "We've got to get this letter to Clinton the fizat we do. " Two were left with the prisoner as a guard and the others soon rode -vway. For three days and nights Montagnie lay in the hut, bound hand and foot. Not for a moment were the cords loosened, and each day his guard told him they were about to take him out and hang him and leave his body on a tree by the roadside as a warning to ail Whigs. The preacher had tully resigned himself and expected daily the threat would be put into execution. On the fourth day Smith returned, and, after a hurried consultation with the guards, rode away. The prisoner's hands were loosened and his aching limbs were rubbed by the guard, but he had no other thought than that he was being pre pared for his exeoution. According ly, when in a few hours he was bid? den to follow them out of the hut, he glanced on every side for the rope he thought to see dangling from some tree. As he walked on his thoughts were somewhat bitter against Washington. Why had he insisted upon his coming through Ramapo paBS? If he had been left to his own devices, he would have taken the upper road and never would have fallen into the power of these desperadoes. "Can you ride?" said one of the men abruptly. "Yes," replied the preacher. Wore they about to mount him on a boree and then start the horse off af ter the noose had been adjusted? He had heard of that plan having been used. Sut he Lad nu lime for medita j tion, for they came to a place where three horses were waiting. Almost before he knew what had occurred, the prisoner found himself mounted and riding rapidly along the road, with one guard on either side. What could it mean! He saw no rope and not a word waa spoken. On and on they went, and gradually it dawned upon the young man's mind what the destination was to be. Nor was he mistaken, for he soon was carried across the river and placed in the old sugar house prison in New York, one of the fa mous provost prisons of that day. "You're a great one," said the guard to Montagnie tho next day. "Those letters you had were all rfbout Washington's plan to attack ? New York. But Clinton can take a I hint, and everybody in the city is ? \ cettingready to receive the rebels." .

Suddenly, aa tho guard finished his reading, Montagnie laughed aloud. "What aro you luughing atf" asked tho angry guard as ho left "I don't see anything funny in that." But the prisoner did, and all his bitterness toward Washington had vanished in a moment. Now ho un derstood it all. Washington had in tended all tho time to have him tak en prisoner with those dispatches on his person and thus to hold the British in New York while he start ed for Virginia. How well he held them we know from the faot that when Sir Henry next heard of him ho was already beyond the Delaware, too far away to be pursued, and it was too late to send word or aid to Cornwallis. As for Parson Montagnie, he was not long kept a prisonor, for the war was soon ended, but for years it was his delight to tell tho story of his capture.

The First Round Bale. The first ''round" bale of cotton haB been on exhibition on the floor of the Cotton Exchange for the past few days, and while its neat appearance is often spoken of there seems little praise of more substantial character. Capt. Thomas Young, a recognized authority on cotton exporting, said youtci-day that the balo would not do for the Trans-Atlantic trade. The bale shown is from the press of Col. Mike Browo, Barnwell, and contains 356 pounds of cotton. It is eovered with heavy jute cloth, the top, bottom and side being sewn with hemp eord. But, according to Capt. Young, it would occupy more space in a ship's hold than a square compressed bale weighing 500 pounds. Attention was also called by several ootton men to the fact that it was almost impossible to get satisfactory samples from the round bale. An end sample was not desired, and to slit the bagging would mean the bursting of the bale, as it carries no hoops of any kind. It is said that the round bale would occupy more room in freight ears and would be more troublesome to handle than an ordinarily put up bale, for the rea son that hooks could not be used with any safety upon cotton simply confin ed in oloth without bands.

Two Blind Children, Wim Never Heard a Sound, Talk to One Auutber. In St. Nicholas there is an article on "Helen Keller and Tommy Strin gor," written by William T. Ellie. Helen, the wonder I ul blind girl whose history is KO well known, by personal appeals seemed tho sum necessary to educate a little boy similarly afflicted. They were sep arated soon after tho education of tho boy began, and Mr. Elba gives tho following aceouatof their meet ing, after being n any years apart: Heleu had been for weeks longing to seo her little friend, and to many verbal messages had added her own written invitation to Tom and his teachers to visit her at her Cam bridge homo. Tom himself, al though recalling little or nothing of his past acquaintance with Helen, and altogether ignorant of the debt ho owed her, had begun to look for I tvard with pleasure to tho visit. I four that Helen's greetings to her old friends, Tom's teachers, were not so protracted us they other wise would have been-, tor all the while that she waa welcoming them in feminine fashion her hand was quietly moving ubout to discover, if possible, her loug desired visitor. When she did touch his head, her fingers ran over it lightly for an in stant, and then her arms woro about his neck. Tho expressive features of tho blind girl lighted up with a rare joy, and throughout tho visit her countenance was shining. "What a fine, big boy bo isl Tho dear little fellow!" woro her contra dictory exclamations of dolight whou at last she found her voico. Then her swift moving fingers began to spell messages of affection into Tom's chubby fist All this time she was running her other hand over his face or lifting up his hands to her own face and curia. Tom's comment of pleasure on touching her soft hair delighted h or. It was many moments before Miss Sullivan, Helen's devoted friend and teacher, could persuade her pupil, with the small company of friends, to be seated. The two blind and deaf children, by some subtle in stinct, seemed to know at once iheir community of interost, and together they sat in a wide window seat, talk ing with eagerness and ease and ab sorbed in each other. This is not the place to report ful ly the morry chatter and eager words of these two souls that so marvelously dwell apart from the world in their realm of innocence. The strangeness of their meeting impressed her deeply. She stopped her conversation with Tom long enough to speak of this. She had been reading Tom's hand, following the movements of his fingers, as he spelled out the words with a rapid ity that would make an inexperi enced onlooker dizzy, by keeping her own hand partly closed over his. "I suppose Tom is not used to hav ing people read his hand in this way," she suggested. The progress that Tom has made since Helen last met him amazed and charmed her. In answer io an inquiry concerning Tom's education in articulation, his teacher asked him to speak to her with his lips. The strange picture that was then presented I sholl never forget. The child:.CIA sat together, facing each other, eich countenance illumined with an animation that the posses sion of every faculty could not have increased. The older one's accom plishments are remarkable, so that in all things save the senses of sight and hearing she is not one whit be hind the most cultured and favored of young women. The other child is following close after her, along the same pathway that she has pur sued, knowing not his deficiencies even as much as his companion knows hers and withal richly en compassed hy her tender sympathy. There they Bit, neither having seen since babyhood a ray of light or having heard the slightest sound and yet speaking together in articu late, audible words that all present could understand, yet which were not heard by either of the speakers 1 One finger' of Helen's delicate hand touched Tom's lips, and her thumb rested lightly upon his throat near the chin. He spoke to her sentence after sentence, and sha repeated aloud after him the words that he uttered, answering them with her fingers. The significance, the marvelousness of it all, was overwhelming. I doubt if the world has ever seen a greater triumph of education. A Good Way Ont. "Did you come across any brig ands in Sicily?" Plenty. But I always got the better of them." "How so?"

Marryluc an Allon Mi nim Lou of a Worn-' au's Lamluil tot at?. In spite of tho pre eminence of tho spinster in New England, the pro portion of unmarried women is greater in tho British colony of Ber muda thau any w hero else on thia side of tho Atlantic ocean. Tho semitropical climate of tho islands, together with their isolation, has made of tho white inhabitants of English Htock a quiet, almost a slug gish, pcoplo of a simplicity nearly Arcadian. Tho women especially, many of whom have led very cir cumscribed lives, never leaving tho islands, cultivate an old fashioned hospitality and possess a natural case of manner that seems to riso from perfect faith in other people. Crime is very raro in Bermuda, part ly because it is extremely difficult for a criminal to get off tho islands. Bornuulau women are excellent housokoepers and bring up largo families of children, tho favorite chicks of a Hock being sent, in some cases, to tho states for education. In matters of etiquette these flocks aro much moro exact than Ameri cans. They aro a comfortable, well to do set of people, with hero and there a family possessing ampio means. As in England, property, especially real estate, remains in tho sumo family for ti long period, some of tho descendants of the original settlers still possessing lands that never have passed out of their fam ilies. It is conservatism as to real estate ownership that keeps up tho supply of spinsters. No alien can acquire a title to laud in Bermuda either by purchaso or inheritance. This law is directed mainly against tho Por tuguese, who have flockod to tho colony and t? ken io growing onions. So long as those intruders own no land they have no vote, and tho difficulty of naturalization and tho property qualifications combino to mako a double barrier, protecting tho natives in their control of things. But the law provides, further, that if a woman owning land mar ries an alien she forfeits her real ci tato and becomes incapable of in heriting any. They have no "squaw men" in Bermuda. This law is not very populai with young women, who see their brothers and sweet hearts paving court to American, girls with comfortable incomes. Tho number of Americans who have become residents of Bermuda is smaller than it would be undor dif ferent Innd Iowa, but ibo winter colony is a large one, and thc most energetic business men of Hamilton, the capital of the islands, are from the states. Marriages result of Ber mudan men with Amorican girls, but in a community where so largo a large proportion of all property is land Bermudan girls are prevented from retaliating. There are in tances where girls renounce their birthrights, but penniless belles are not universally attractive. - New York Tribune. Slightly Embarrassed" Him. A good story is told on a certain minister net a thousand miles from here. He made a call recently at a home which had not long before been blessed by the arrival of a new baby. He was met at the door by the lady of the house, and after the usual saluta tion, asked after the baby's health. The lady, who was a little hard of hearing and suffering with the grip, did not quite understand him, and thinking he was asking about her cold, answered that although she usually had one every winter, this was the worst one she had ever had; it kept her awake nights a good deal, and at first confined her to her bed. Then, Doticing that her visitor was getting nervous, she said that she could tell by his looks that he was goiug to have one just like hers, and asked him to go in and sit down.-Henderson Gold Leaf.
