Captain JVathan Hale. t Martyr of the "Rc-Volut on. General Washington wanted a, man. It was in September, 1776, at the City of New York, a few days after the battle of Long Island. The swift and deep East River flowed between the two hostile armies, and General Washington had as yet no system established for getting information of the enemy's movements tod intentions. He never needed such information so much as at that crisis. What would General Howe do next? If he cross at Hell Gate, the American army, too small in numbers, and defeated the week before, might be caught CAPT. HALE DISGUISED A3 DUTCH SCHOOLMASTER, an Manhattan island as In a trap, and the Issue of the contest might be made to depend upon a single battle; for In such circumstances defeat would Involve the capture of the whole army.

And yet Genera! Washington was compelled to confess: "We cannot learn, nor have we been able to possess, the least information of late." Therefore he wanted a man. He wanted an intelligent m.in. cool-head-ed, skillful, brav . to cross the East j River to Long Island, . titer the enemy'a camp and get information as to i his strength and intentions. He went to Colonel Knowlton, com ntand lg a re- ! markably efficient n giraent from Con- j aecticut, and requested him to ascertain If this man so sorely needed could be found In his command. Colonel Know on called his officers together, stated the wishes of General Washington, and. without urging the enterprise upon any individual, left the matter to their reflections. Captain Nathan Hale. brilliant youth of 21. recently graduated from Yalo college, was one of those who reflected upon the subject- He soon reached a conclusion. He was of the v. ry flower of the young m:-n of New England, and one of the beat of the younger soldiers of the patriot army. He had been educated for the ministry, and his motive in adopting for a time ihe profession of arms was purely patriotic. This we know from the familiar records of his life at the time when the call to arms was first heard. In addition ro hi.s other gifts and graces, he was handsome, vigorous and athletic, all in an extraordinary degree. If he had lived in our day he might have pulled the stroke oar at New London or pitched for the college nine. The officers were conversing In a group. No one had as yet spoken the decisive word. Colonel Knowlton appealed to a French sergeant, an old soldier of former wars, and asked him to volunteer. "No, no." said he. "I am ready to fight the British at any place and tinu . but I do not feel willing to go among them to be hung up like a dog." Captain Hale joined the group of officers, lie said to Colonel Knowlton: I will undertake it." Soni' of his best friends remonstrated One of them, afterwards the famous Gen. William Hull, then a captain in Washington's army, has recorded Hale's reply to his own attempt to dissuade him. "I think," said Hale. "I owe to my country the accomplishment of an object so important. I am fully sensible of the consequences of discovery and capture in such a situation. But for a year I have been attached to the army, and have not rendered any material service, while receiving a compensation for which I make no return. 1 wish to be useful, and every kind of service accessary fo: the public good becomes honorable by being necessary." He spoke, as General Hull remembered, with earnest nesa and decision. as one who had ronsidered the matter well, and had made up his mind. Having received his instructions, he traveled fifty miles along the Sound as far aj Nut walk, in Connecticut. One who saw him there made a very wise remark upon him. to the effect that he was "too good looking" to go as . spy. He could not deceive. "Some scrubby fellow ought to have gone." At Norwalk he assumed the disguise of a Dutch schoolmaster, putting on a suit of plain brown clothes and a round, broad-brimmed hat. He had no difficulty in crossing the Sound, since he bore an order from General Washington which placed at his disposal all the vessels belonging to Congress. For several days everything appears to have gone well with him, and there is reason to believe that he passed through the entire British army without detection or even exciting suspicion. Finding the British had crossed to New York, he followed them. He made hl3 way back to Long Island, and nearly reached the point opposite Norwalk where he hand originally landed. Rendered, perhaps, too bold by success, he went Into a well-known and popular tavern, entered into conversation with the guests and made himself very agreeable. The tradition Is that he made himself too agreeable. A man present, suspecting or knowing that he was not the character he had assumed, quietly left the room, communicated his suspicions to the captain of a British ship anchored near, who dis
patched a boat's crew to capture and bring on board the agreeable stranger. His true character was immediately revealed. Drawings of some of the British works, with notes in Latin, were found bidden in the soles of his shoes. Nor did he attempt to deceive his captors, and the English captain, lamenting, as he said, that "so fine a fellow had fallen into his power," sent him to New York in one of his boats, and with him the fatal proofs that he was a spy. September 21st was the day on which he reached New York the day of the great fire which laid one-third of the little city in ashes. From the time of his departure from General Washington's camp to that of his return to New York was about fourteen days. He was taken to General Howe's headquarters at the Beekman mansion, on the East river, near the corner of th present Fifty-firs:t street and Firs? avenue. It is a strange coincidence that the house to which he was brought to he tried as a spy was the very one from which Major Andre departed when he went to West Point. Tradi- - WIK fi tm Li MS rj.n a'. Vit t f' "I ONLY REGRET THAT I HAVE BUT ONE LIFE TO LOSE FOR MY COUNTRY." tion says that Captain Hale was ex amined In a greenhouse which then j stood in the garden of the Beekman ! I mansion. Short was hfs trial, for he avowed at once his true character. The British general signed an order to his provostmarshal directing him to receive into his custody the prisoner convicted as a spy. and to see him hanged by the neck "tomorrow morning at daybreak." Terrible things are reported of the manner in which this noble prisoner, this admirable gentleman and hero, was treated by his jailer and executioner. There are savages In every large army, and it is possible that thi3 provost-marshal was one of them. It is said that he refused him writing j materials, and afterward, when Captain Hale had been furnished them by others, destroyed before his face his Inst letters to his mother and to the yOttng lady to whom he wa9 engaged to I be married. As those letters wer never received, this statement may be true. The other alleged horrors of the I execution it is safe to disregard, be- I cause we know It was conducted In the j usual form and in the presence of many spectators and a considerable body of troops. One fact shines out j from the distracting confusion of that morning, which will be cherished to the latest posterity as a precious ingot of the moral treasures of the American people. When asked if he had anything to say, Captain Hale repl'ed: I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country." The scene of bis execution was probably an old graveyard in Chambera street, whieh was then called Barrack street General Howe formally notified General Washington of his execution. In recent years, through the industry of Investigators, the pathos and sublimity of these events have been in part revealed. A few years ago a bronze statue of the young hero was unveiled In Ihe New York City Hall Park. It la greatly to be regretted that our knowledge of this noble martyr is so slight; but we know enough to be sure that he merits the veneration of his countrymen. The man who marries for money merely trades his liberty for a mea ticket.

Thi.s atrocious net ras the return lightning stroke of the ministry for the blow rebellious Boston had dealt when it emptied the Bast India Company's tea into the harbor. No event in the series of causes that led to the revolution was so determinative of an ultimate resort to arms as was this brutal measure. Singular, Indeed, at the fir.t blush, it would seem, that such a vindictive and utterly unstateamanlike measure, designed as it was to rivet the collar of political aervitude upon the necks of a great people But the average Englishman did not understand the American-colonial problem. His notion of the Americans was that they were an Inferior race, mostly wild Indians and negro alavea, while the relation between then and the English at home was substantially that of servant and master. "Why," said l'itt. with reference to this state of feeling, the revenue measures, and particularly "even the chimney-sweeps and bootblacks in the streets of Lot. don talk about 'our subjects' In America!1 The resistance of the Americana to the audacious act of the Boston "hypocrites, traitors, rebels snd villains" such were the mild terms applied to y The The soldiers of Great Britain seem destined to get their till of bloodshed before the halo of peace again settles over these perturbed little isles. The Mad Mullah, most fanatic of India's tribesmen, is on the warpath, arming countless hordes against the "mother country," and instilling into them the hatred of the foe and disregard of death the meaning of which the British soldiers well know. Mullah's plan is to form an alliance with the Mijertair, tribe, which will place S0.000 men at his disposal. A feint in the direction of Ber will, it is thought, make it necessary for the British to enter the (Mljertain country. Terrible fighting will ensue.

The day was ushered in with tolling of bells and other signs of public mourning, and throughout the colonies generally Blmilar demonstrations were made. With the stroke of noon on that fated day Boston entered upon her period of suffering. Her fortitude had before this been severely tried. She had cope.; with famine, pestilenre. devastating conflagrations. The blood-guiltiness of oppressors had reddened the stones of her streets and brought the shadow of sudden death to many of her thresholds. But these were minor scourges compared to the overwhelming calamity that now threatened her very existence. For ten months the metropolis of New England was practically isolated and held In grasp of military power. Eleven regiments of British troops were quartered in and about the town: Boston Common was white with their tents. They desecrated her holy places and intruded into the houses of her citJsens, Insulting, and la some cases maltreating;, theii helpless ones.

The British ministry thought to starve Boston into submission, and, belu ving also that the "pocket nerve" was the particularly sensitive part of the Boston Yankee's anatomy, hoped by Utting off his trading facilities to bring him to his knees. The moment Boston's needs were known, the neighboring towns and the mast, distant colonies hastened to her assistance. Their sympathy took the practical form of contributions of cattle, sheep, com, vegetables, fish and other necessities. Then came implements of war from Virginia, where Washington and Patrick Henry were raising small companies) of men to go to the aid of starving Boston. The functions of the town appear to have leen attended to in spite of the presence of a hostile military force, and in no way more systematically than in the town meetings which were held in Faueuil Hall "pursuant to adjournment." Gage had forbidden the calling of these meetings except as authorized by himself: but Boston would have given up every other privilege of citizenship before she would have yielded this transcendant one. Hence by a little parliamentary device the freeholders kept the town meeting perpetually alive by continuous adjournment. The spectacle of this town of 17,000 Inhabitants in the face of a frowning miutary governor and his soldiers, calmly and openly gathering its citizens to pursue a prohibited civic function, and there in open assembly to concert measures designed to bafile and controvert the schemes of a powerful enemy, boldly toe. yet under diplomatic forms, criticising his conduct and questioning his motive?, i.- onthat surely approaches the sublime in audacity. terriers. The terriers were urged to attack the cat. After a brief struggle its back was broken, it was helpless. and as the negro urged them the terriers tore it limb from limb. The terriers enjoyed the sport, in spite of scratches on their pink noses. The negro Serugg smiled and enjoyed himself immensely. When the policeman grabbed him he said that he was legitimately exercising the skill of his dogs What impression does thus narrative leave upon your mind? Do you despise oven a poor, ignorant negro who could enjoy the sufferings of a helpless animal? Do you reject indignantly his statement that his love of sport justified him in torturing a creature that had done him no harm? You do? Then what do you think of the cowaruly brutes who murder helpless pigeons for amusement, and, not even killing them outright, leave them to suffer hours of torture in hedges and in ditches when the sport is done? If you would gladly have assisted in the arrest ami panishmeat of the negro whose dogs tortured tmly one animal, will you help pass laws restraining the the pigeon shooting cowards, whose sport in a single day involves the torture of thousands of harmless pigeons' London uses up 20.000,000 tons of coal annually.
