L A C K - W I NGED crows went sail ing across ' 11c ntue sky. cawing lu.ily as they Hew ; and the hot sun of I September afternoon glowed upon tOt dusty highway and upon the wide expanse of level fields that hedged in the old house at Crawford'a plantation in the Waxhaw region of the Carolinas, as Mary Crawford, or Polly, aa everybody called her. sat by Ihe window, atitching a ampler. but looking up ever and anon to watch for travelera that might be coming up the rood. The Crawford house atood well back from the highway, with a garden between, bieected by a carriage drive from the big white gatea upon the road; but the yoting girl could readily descry anyone pnsaing up or down the thoroughfare, a distance of n quarter of a mile from the house. The watch she kept was a keen one, for upon her faithful aentinelahip depended the aafety of a loved father. Maj. Crawford wae an officer in the patriot army under Gen. Gatea, who had just an hour before, weary, travelttalned. and alone, arrived at bis plantation after an abaence of many weeka. He was at this moment in the kitchen, eating the lunch that had been hastily prepared by Mra. Crawford and the colored cook, Chloe, preparatory to continuing hia journey to Sumpter'a army, which waa encamped on the W'ateree. Meanwhile Polly had been stationed at the window to keep a lookout against the approach of any tory or British party that might be on hia track. It was just after the defeat of Gates nt Camden, and the king's men were jubilant and active through the Camlinaa. l'oliy Craw ford was a chubby, brighteyed, saucy-looking girl of IS or 14 fears. She was the major's only child, and waa an arrant little rebel. The ampler the was at work upon represented Elijah fed by the ravens. There was a marvelous background of ah rubs and treee, all wrought in the finest tent etltoh; and, beside a atone done in orange color, lay the recumbent figure of the shaggy -haired prophet. A flock of birde, each one lndeu with a huge "twopenny pan loaf," were gracefully approaching from tht left-hand corner of the canvas. The girl'a deft fingen were busily ornamenting Elijah with two prominent tves of the deepett cobalt blue, when her tarn csught tht

'1 he: messenger, whom Holly recog nized at u boy of the neighboring village, dashed on again, wi I b 0U1 waiting to nmwer any question Polly gave SO further thought to the cobalt-blue eyts of the old Gileadite, taring at her from the sampler. Her father must be warned; but before she left the window she glanced sharply down '.he road. There was a cloud of dust rising above the trees, far dow n as she could Me; and through that cloud ahe raw the glistening of bright steel. Were their enemies aa near as that? Then, indeed, there was no time; and ahe hastened to the kitchen. Maj. Crawford's bronzed face turned uearly as pale as that of his daughter's

"YES. I A when he was told of the near approach I of his foes, but he was a man of dauntless energy Htid accustomed to danger. His first act was to run to the Window and look out. A single glance told him it was too late for flight. The dragoons were already at the white gate.-, and the foremost Were dismounting. "Whai shall we do?" What shall we do?" gionned Mrs. ( raw ford. Wringing her Jfnnds. "ltr calm, mother." said the officer. If the Vorst ndpntnsV I can defend myself with my sword, which did such good work at the Cowpens." The patriot looked as if he was about to reiort to that rash alternative, but Polly seized him by the arm. "Quick 1 I can save you!" she said. And IBS pulled him by main force from tht kitchen to the outer shed. She was In aa tgony of terror lest her father should be teen before he was hidden away at all, but outwardly she waaeerf calm. In the shed stood a large meat barrel, or tierce, which CatO bad brought out of tht cellar a few days before, and was now standing empty betidt a pile of wood. In lo r desperation the girl's quick eye espied it, and she drew the hunted officer toward it. "It's a capital hiding place," said the major, grasping her intention, "l'ack me in as hastily as you can; anil, mother, you go and entertain our visitors.'Maj. Craw ford's bulky form was presently compressed within the interior of the cask, which was really the moat available hiding place he could have sought. Polly threw in an old garment about him, and laid a few sticks of wood carelessly upon that, leaving the top of the barrel uncovered. Then ahe returned to the sitting room, where she found her mother engaged in an exciting dialogue w ith the leader of the British psrty. "Where havo you hidden that rebel hound, your husband?" asked the officer. "Maj Crawford is capable of taking care of himself without any of my help." answered the patriotic woman, who had recovered her courage wonderfully. "Yo do not deny, then, that the traitor is within?" "Search for yourself. If my husband is here, you enn find him." And Mrs. Crawford sat quietly down. "Show me the way to your cellar, girl." said the Englishman to Polly. "Would It not be best to begin with Ihe garrets, and go down?" aJml the young girl, her black eyes dancing saucily. "Because." she continued, "we have wane in the cellars, and y our men might not. be able to prosecute tht search any further." ( apt Dae gave her a look that he in tended to be very aevere. "Lead the way to the cellar." he aaid, aternly. Polly obeyed with a pretty pout. "Do you think iny father is like pork snd potatoes, to be ia our cellar?" she asked. "He U in the house somewhere, snd we intend to find him," tniwered the officer, s young man who affected the brusque atyle of Tarleten. welt known on both sides for his cruelty snd soldierlike qualities. But they found no hint of any body a presence ia the cellar; tnd. afttr a

You won't stand in theway, any longer!" cried the man. angrily, as he gave the cask a violent kick and knocked it over upon its side. Fortunately, the tierce fell with its uncov ered head toward the wall; and no one inspected that the object of their search was within it. "What do yon make of it, Wilson ?" inquired Cupt DlCJ . "I don't think the major's here," returned the tory. "He got wind of our v-lose pursuit in some manner, and left on a fresh horse before we came. That's my opinion." "And it's mine, too. But I'd sooner lost my spurs than to have bad this search for nothing." M HERB.1 "Wei;, ue bsva doneourbest. There's good wine in the rebel's cellar, though. We needn't lose that." "True," observed Capt. Dacy. Then, turning to Mrs. Crawford, he continued: "Come, madam, you can entertain rascally rebels, it seems. Have you no humble refreshment for the bumb'e servants of the king?" "Certainly. Will you partake of aome cakes and wine? Call ( hioe. Polly, and bare the table spread at once." "Order my men to ride on slowly. Wi son; it is possible they may get s glance of the rebel we are after. Yeu and I will enjoy this good lady's hos pi t ali t y a short time." While Wilson was delivering the captain's ordir to the d racoons Mrs Crawford opened the sideboard, tnd set cut decanters and dishes, and the t i g r ss brought some f resh wine f rom the eel ltr. The Englishman snatched his lips as he emptied a goblet. "Come, Mrs. Crawford." said the oflicer, handing the mistress of the house a glass of wine. "I have a toast topro-po- . 1 hope you have RO objection tO drinking the health ef King George." "None at nil," replied the lady. "I am sure that I wish him no harm, poo; man!" "V. i i well; and. now we'll toss off t bumper tu tht success of his majesty's am and to the discomfiture of all rebels." "Papa might perhaps object tothat." said Polly. wh? at this moment entered the room, after a short absence. "However, he is here to speak for himself." "Yes, I am here; and I have decided objections to such sep' Intent s being drunk in my house." The Briton nnd the tory looked up and saw, framed in the doorway, the very man for whom they had been Starching so vainly. He held in each hand a loaded pistol, and their mu77.1es were pointed at the hearts of the banipieters. "Don't stir, or yon are dead men!" be cried, as the British officer attempted to pltce his hand upon his sword. "What do you intend to do?" asked the embarrassed captain. "I mean to take you prisoner." snwered Maj. Crawford. "I will not hnrm you if you offer no resistance. Polly, v,mi iiiy fasten his arms, so that he will not be aide to harm us. There is a cord on the jug behind TOO." The itritnn gitnced ferociously at his enemy, "Put jour hands close behind you. or T shall be obliged to maim you," said the major, calmly. Ctpt. DtCJ obeyed, though with s bad grace, and the yotmg ciri fattened 1 il wrlttl together with a stout rope. "Now, it's your turn. Wilton," said the. major, edd retting the tory. "You thought to take me. but the tables are reversed." After Polly had performed the same operatiou upon the tory, and the two men atood securely bound, the major very coolly eat down and finished his interrupted repast. He was just done when a woelly bead thrust itself into the doorway. "Maasa, de honet im saddled and bridled." "All right, Cato. 4rt the dragoons out of liebt?"

"Dey is. l's Jet' com' in, an' de last soger's cott tail urn our ob sight." "It's time 1 should be going, fleas I thai! be with Sun iptOt by u. i right. Help me tc BWUSt '! e prisoners' Ca to."

He alwayi told Polly that it was to her thoughtfulneee and strategy he owed his escape from capture and turning the tables upon his enemies. A for Polly, she carried a memento of that day in the shape of a dagger a small, slender poniard, which dropped from Capt. Dacy'a belt in the affray, and which she ever after wore as an ornament in her hair. This dagger is preserved aa an heirloom by her descendants, nr.d anyone seeing it wit be told the story of the brave young girl who did i t fail to act well her part in tlie tiniei which tried men's souls. Christiai Ilegister. FEBRUARY aa, 1783. I i ret Celehrntlnn of Washington. Birthday One of the Oldest of Holidays. We may reckon February 22 as one of our oldest holidays, for though no legislature had at that time set it apart as a legal holiday, the regular celebration of Washington's birthday began in 17s3, save the ( hicngo Inter Ocean. On February 22 of that year a party of gentlemen met in a tavern in New York. One of them had written an ode on Washington, another brought a list of tracts, at ill others had prepared speeches. There was great feasting, patriotic toasts were drunk, and be fore the company went home they agreed to meet t gl tht r on e. rv coming February 22, in honor of their country's chief. Other little knotsof frinids followed t heir example, and before long the celebration became general. Though not publicly recognized, whereTer there were a score or more houses, the people gladly devoted at leant a few hours of the day to jollity and gOOi cheer. Even the fisherman left his nett by the sea, the carpenter hia workshop, the good housewife laid aside her knitting, and the shopkeeper left up hi shutters: best of all, the master on that day kept no school. The celebration of the day gradually grew in importance till in the beginning of last century it was almost the most distinguished day of the year. I n cry theater on that day brought out some new play and made itself gay w ith flags and transparencies. Tavnna spread their beat cheer. There were balls end bonfires, barbecues, and cannonading, bell ringing, feasting" and toaats. A glance over the (iazi t tes and Advertiser of t bat period show that it was quite the end of March before they censed to publish accounts of the festivities which had taken place in every city and town in the land. Washington was born before the j edoption in England of the Gregorian calendar, and was. therefore, born on February 11, old style. For a long tinie some of his most ardent admirers per- ' sisted in celebrating 1 his day rather than the 22d. We find as late as 17'.6 i certain counties, in which men of the old school were unw Hing to adopl the new calendar, at least so far as c.neerned the birthday Of Ihn father of their country.

If it is itr- n ' Mry to convene the Pif ty-eeventh congress in special session following the close of the Fif ty sixth, the responsibility for such necessity must rest upon the baekersof the ship aubsidy bill.

There seems to be no doubt that a deal has been consummated by which pretty bfneh all the steel manufacturing concerns in the I'nited States, representing an aggregate capital of nearly $l.uui.o00.000, have been brought under one cont rol. Some of the consolidating concerna are giants in themselves.

These four alone hae an aggregate capitalisation of $000.000.000, or an avrage of fl65.000.ooo each. They are not "infant industries." This gigantic combination will have more power than its component members have had to stifle all competition I among themselves and to take the utinovt ,e!an;age of the tariff which hae been n ade for their benefit upon the assumption that they are feeble creatures who are quite incapable of caring for themselves. They are exporting now at the rate of fully $!20.ou0.0o0 worth a year of their prod K ts. and selling them in open nd fret ' mpet ition with all comcr in neutral markets, and in the face of high tariff duties, even, in the market of competitors. With what semblance or pretense of reason, then, can it be said that they need any tariff protection whatever in their home market T Such a claim cannol be sit up except upon the assunipt ., ii that they must charge their own country men more than they accept from foreigners for the same goods in order to make satisfactory profits. Do Americans relish being forced by the Dingley law to pay exorbitant M ioee n order that the people of other lands may buy American goods at low prices? it would seem that they do.
