to he hut few visitors on this morning
and I w'tfs in undisturbed possession of
the apartment, near one of the corners i f
the room was an iron door leading into
d kind of closet. Impelled by curiosity I
entered the dark recess?a gust of wind
suddenly closed the heavy dorn- with a
hang. I tried to open it hut found that
I it was closed on the out side with a spring
j lock. T shouted and screamed myself
hoarse, but of course without being heard.

I sank exhausted on tho stone floor, "had

being heard or found: they"woro dubi

would bo'mado concerning tbe solitary

pletely overcame nie?I fainted, How
long I remained in this condition I know
not, but on awaking I beard the most
remarkable music, and distinely felt ob
jects passing over my face, bands and
feist. A fearful thought presented itself,
"the rats are. about to devour me," but
what puzzled me exceedingly was from
wheacpcould the musical sounds proceed.
A musical rat was a rare animal?ull the
descriptions of animals I had ever, from
my infancy, heard or read, passed rapidly
before nie. In vain did I endeavor to
search for a rat that produced the faintest
resemblance to a harmonious sound";
although very weak I endeavoured to
rise. Just then the sounds ceased and
the sharp tooth of some creature pene
trated deeply into inyfaoa this was total
ly insupportable and making another
lunge at the door, I awoke?to find my
self in my chamber?on the lloor?the

thousand around me, and the entire fam

ill or had suddenly lost my reason. '
A. S-5NODUUAS3:
Lafayette and Arnold's Treason.
But the event.of the visit of mine to
Paris was my introduction, by Francis
Wright, to General Lafayette. OH*all
men living, he was tho one IhiOSt enthu
siastically admired und the one I had
most earnestly bulged to see. These
feeling* had gained fresh fervor in the
United States; Jus', two months before
I landed at New 'York, Lafayette had
returned home in the Brandywinc, after
a year's sojourn in the laud which he
had aided to liberate, and by which be
had boon welcomed as never nation, till
linn, had welcomed a man.
i heard his praise on every tongue, I
found love and gratitude toward him in
ho doubt, transparent, and these may
have won for me, fioni one of the most
genial of men, a hearty reception. At
all events, he devoted himself to satisfy
my curiosity, with an overflowing good
iial?re und a winning kindness and sim
plicity thai 1 shall remomber to my dy
ing day.
A few items of our conversation I still
most distinctly recollect, (hie incident,
presenting the Father of his Country in
j a rare aspect, ever recalls tu me, v.heu I
tliink of ii, the tender eyes and tho gra
cious, loving manner which made the
grand old Frenchman the idol of all
young people who were fortunate enough
to share bis friendship.
It was just beforo the unmasking of
the sob traitor who loomed up dniing
our K< volution, on one of the most event
ful days in njl that eventful period, ntul
more than four yours after the immortal
Declaration had been read from the.steps
of the olil Philadelphia Sude House; it
wa; the '-!"?i!> of September, 17S0. On
the afternoon <-i the preceding day,
Washington, after dining at Fishkill,
had sei out with his suite, intending to
reach Arnold's headquarters, eighteen
mih s distant) that evetiing.'What would
; have happened had he carried out his
intention, we can only conjecture. What
iinii call chance?a casual meeting near
Pishkili with the French miuistcr. De
Luzcrnc?induced him to n.main there
that night. Next morning, a'ftcrsond
ing notice to Arnold thai lie might ex
pi et him to breakfast, ho again changed
his. in ten! eon, turning oil' to visit same
redoubts on the Hudson, opposite W^.st
Point, and sending two nids-de'-eniUp to
apologize. It was while these officers
were al breakfast with the family that
Arnold received the tic-patch which an
nounced Andre's capture; and caused
his l Arnold'*) instant flight} ou pretence,
to hi* visitors, of a call to West Point.
Some, hours later, Washington, arriving
with General Ivnox and General Lafay
ette, and finding Arnold gone, followed
him, its lie supposed, across tho river,
and learning that Arnold had not been
' to West Point, returned to dinner. As
Washinton approached the house, his
aidj Colonel Hamilton, who bud remain
ed behind, came hurriedly to meet him
and placed in his bands :? despatch,
which, confidential staff officer, ho
had already opened, and which disclosed
Arnold's treachery. Washington com
niunicnted its contents, doubtless before
dinner, to General Ivnox, and to him
alone, with the lirief and significant
words, "Whom can wc trust now?"
The usual version is that he thus com
inunicaled the poteutcus news to Gener
al Knox and Lafayette jointly; but that ? ;
is an error. The statement made to mo
by the latter, during our journey to La *
Grange, surprised and interested mo at
the time, and has remained indelliblyi
impressed on my memory. It was this:
When Washington sat down to dinner,
no unusual emotion was visible on his
countenance. He was grave and silent, .
but no more so -than often happened
when recent tidings from the "army occu
pied his thoughts. At tho close of the
meal he beckoned Lafayette to follow
him, passed to an inner apartment,
turned to his young friend without utter- * -
ing a syllable, placed tho fatal despatch '
in his hands, and then giving way to an',
ungovernable burst of feeling, fell on hwq
neck and sobbed aloud. The effect pro
duced on the young French marquis, ac
customed to regard his generul (cold and
dignified -in his usual manner) as devoid
of the common weaknesses of humanity,
may he imagined. "I believe," said La
fayette to me in relating this anecdote,
"that this was tho only occasion through
out the long and sometimes hopeless -
struggle that Washington ever gave way .
even for a moment, under a reverse of
fortune: and perhaps I am the only hu
man being who ever witnessed in him an
exhibition of feeling so foreign to his
J temperament. As it was, he recovered
himself before I had perused the corarau-.
uication that had given rise to his es
I citement, and when we returned to his
staff, not a traco remained in his de*
inc?iior either of grief or despondency."
A dusty, sun-browned stranger stalked^
into one of our principal hotelsjfl^fi
? ' evening, laid a. big biacjrfH
. .1 had perhaps made qW.M
appearance in it.s youth, carefunPH
him, and, with a hand uimecustomcwH
public writing, scrawled with great ox-^Jj
ertion the name of Lorezo Smith upon
the register.
"Will you have some supper, Mr.
.Smith?'* asked the clerk.
"Wall, no, I guess not," returned tho
rustic gentleman. "The folks at homo
put up a good bit of grub, and thar's
ohuff left in this ycrc carpet-bag for a"
flipper, I recon."
The clerk smiled, and the country
man and his torpulant carpet-bag wore
shown to their room. Country was some
what dazed at its magnificence, hut ho
was hungry, and, placing the satchel
on the center table, he drew forth a large
chunk of boiled ham, numerous pieces
of cold chicken, several enormous dough
nuts, and half-a-dozen hard-boiled egga.
He was ahout to absorb the meager re
past into his starving system, when his
eyes caught sight of the "rules for guests"
tacked upon the door. He gbt up and
read them aloud. He came to tho last
one, and read, "Meals in room charge
extra." Ilo read it again, this time
slowly. "Wall, I he danged," he ejacu
lated, and, turning to the table, in an in
stant he had removed tho ham, dough
nuts, eggs, ami all into tho omnivorous
carpet-snek, ami in another instant ho
was" down in the ollice, "I see, stranger
vor sign tip thar in my room says meals
in rooms charge ext ra."
"Yes," responded the clerk, who recog
nized the customer of a few minutes ago,
and could scarcely repress his risibles.
Due dollar cxtia."
"Wall, I'll be consarned,"?screamed
the verdant, "I guess tho expenso of a
hot mcnl won't ho much more," aud
beckoning to a bell-boy ho called out.
"Hy'ar, boy, show me tho way to ycr
kitchenand a moment later ho wast
in the bunds of the waiters.
It has heed demonstrated that a beetle
is capable of lifting 315 times its own
weight, A man of ordinary muscular
power is fully 100 times feebler, and had
an elephant such comparative strength

manages to leap without difficulty over
a harrier 500 times its own altitude.
