The Taking of Stony Point.
SPEECH OF GEN. llAWLEY—GIIAI’IIIC DESCRIP-
TION 0F Till! ASSAULT.
The address of Gen. Joseph R. Hawlcy,of '
Hartford, at Stony Point, N. Y., on the oc—_
casion of the celebration of the one hun-
dredth anniversary of the retaking of the
fort at that place by the .command of Gen.
Wayne, is an epitome of the historical inci-
dents connected with the event, which is
exceedingly comprehensive and valuable.
That portion describing the assault itself is.
intensely interesting in the reading, and mpst
have been much more so heard from the lips
of the orator:
The time is up. It is half-past eleven, and-
niidnight is the hour to charge. A low call
of “Battalion !" passes along down the line.
The columns are fully formed and ready for
the attack, and each man bears upon his cap
the patch of white paper that will save him
from his friends. Each man knows the
watcliword and means to make it true.
There is not a loaded musket in the command
save those carried by Murfree’s North Caro—
linians. There is a tightening of belts,a
buttouing of cents. a fixing of bayonets. At
the word they start, Knox with his twenty
men leading the right column, the gallant
Frenchman, DeFleury, following with 120,
and, a fewpaecs behind, Wayne with Febi-
ger and the Virginia regiment. Then Mcigs
and Hull with their Connecticut and Massa-
chusetts men. They have farthest to march.
In time they diverge to the right. Butler
continues with his left column. Lieutenant
Gibbons and his twenty of the head, Major
John Steward with his picked hundred
following. Murfrce and his North Carolini-
ans soon leave Butler, moving toward the
right and center. A mile; it is almost mid-
night; thc marsh and the river open to the
sight, and the rough,.dim outline of the
promontory, and still no sign of life. A
whispered“Close up, men. Steady new!"
and the step isa little quickcned. Kuex’s
twenty men on the right coming down to
the beach, find they must wade in two feet
of tide. Butler‘s column on the left cross
the brook, turn to the left, straight toward
the ferry and the right flank of the enemy.
Who will get the first shot? Knox gets it,
before reaching thewater. A sharp flash, it
quick report from a sergeaut's picket down
near the beach at just twenty minutes past
twelve. Another shot and another. A shout
up the hill. The rapid roll of a drum, a
hundred cries on the hill, “Fall in! Fall in,
men! Fall in!" And still the drum rolls.
This is is no surprise. These scoundrelly
desertcrs that left that recennoitering party
last week, told them something. Aye, and
the order book found in ‘the fort tells the
force to be armed and equipped and on the
works at nine, and lie on their arms. No
matter, we are well in new. Held fast, men!
Hear them on the bill. “In battery !” Heavy
wheels trundle up and chuck against the
revetment. A great flash lights up the whole
bill, a blast right down in our faces. And
another from the twenty-four pounder and a
shower of grape and canister fly high. Yes,
thank God, a little high, with a which .’ and a
rush, right over our heads, slapping and
whacking down the beach. and over in the
marshes. The long suspense is over, the fight
is begun, and with a yell of rclief,our efilcers
about their men on to the charge, through
the water and the marsh mud,and scrambling
up the rock and bushes. A rapidly scattering
muskctry fire more deadly than the noisy
cannon, begins to whistle the balls around
our cars. It was a tremendous and incessant
flrc, said Wayne. There, with a thwack
his breast like a whip, a man falls; and an-
other. But not fast yet. The darkness helps
us, their infantry also fire high and wild-
We are doing well, men; splendid. my boys!
00 on! Go ex! It is a fact, I tell you. A
soldier of Hull‘s command deliberately slope
and begins to load. “Back to your place!
Come on, I say !" shouts his lieutenant, with
uplifted sword. “I don't‘understand fight-
ing without_ firing," says the man.. “Will
you come?" “No.” The sword descends
and the man falls dead. Look! those artil-
"lcry men work well. They have opened on
Butler on the right, and the nine guns play,
their liveliest. Murfrec has come up well
into the mars toward the foot of the hill
and opens avig ous fire upon the center—
thc only flashes that come from our side,
Knox and Gibben’s forlorn hopes have torn
away a path through the abbattis and rush
forward to the second line. DeFlcury fol—
lows elose _in with his hundred, and new the
impetuous Wayne rushes to the front And
now he is “Mad Anthony.” But with every
sense alert, in an instant he balances all
chances and duties while apparently wild
with the fierce outcry which puts fire in the
hearts of the veins of his men. The second
abattis is passed. They reach the ditch.
Justin the fierce whirlwind of his joy, as
the certainty of victory flashes on him, a
venomous bullet whistles along and rakes a
furrow of two inches in Wayne'svhead and
strikes him down like a sledge ham'mer. He
thought it was death, but staggering to his
feet, supported ‘by his two gallant boys, his
aids, Fishbourn and Archer, he waves his
spontoen, directing his diverging columns to
their several points of attack. They pull up
the pickets. They pass around to the sally-
port, on the rear of the enemy's extreme
left, and whirl away the chevauce de frise.
General Meigs comes next and General
Hull strikes the breastwork farther to
the front and center and clambers up.
The fierce little Frenchman, the future Field
Marshal of France, leaps upon the parapet
shouting, “the fort is ours." Close by him,
but second, is Knox. Then comes Sergeant
Baker, of Virginia, but tumbles over with
four wounds. Then the fourth man, Sergt.
Spencer, of Virginia; he falls, twice shot.
Then Sergeant Donlop of Pennsylvania,
counting himself fifth, falls twice wounded.
But they are in. All tongues are loose, and
a thousand men repeat the cry, “The fort is
ours.” Our men swarm all around every
corner, through every cmbrasure. The
astonished enemy fall back back as our men,
without a shot, rush on them with the bayoc
net. Fleury is at the fiagstafi. Why the
flag was there at midnight I don't know, 'but
there it was flying.
And DeFleury, first in, hauls it down.
Each officer knows his‘ section to charge
, upon. The garrison are driven towards the
corner, and we meet Gibbons and Steward of
the left column in the center of the fort.
Col. Sherman, of Connecticut, rushing over
Pennsylvania. as he. climbs infiom the north.
Murfree comes upon ‘a run from the marsh
to join In the glory. The British cry ‘ ‘Quar-
ter 1” Some who remember the bloody deeds
of their own maurauders—perhaps they are
of that tory company—drop to their knees.
“-Mercy! dear Americans! Mercy!” But our
men are nogof that kind. With the first
cry of quarter every bayonet is uplifted and
not a man is hurt thereafter. Wayne stum-
bles'fccbly into the ring, supported by i-Iull,
Fishbouru and Archer. With a common
Impulse the whole 1,200 set the wild echoes
flying with three roaring royal American
cheers. And the fools down in the ships,and
over at Vcrplanck’s, painfully watching the
volcanic hill. think the Yankees are repulsed
and return the hurrahs. But the guns had
been whirled around rivcrward, and with
grim delight the Yankees send shot after shet
whirling through the rigging and over the
river. The ships slip their cables and drop
down the river in sullen silence. The fight
is over, and in twenty minutes from the first,
shot.
Connecticut General of'Rcvolu-
tionary Fame.
Count cticut troops took a not unimportant
part in the valiant storming of Stony Point,
100 years ago, the centennial anniversay of
which event was celebrated on the Hud—
son latcly. The leader of the Connecticut
troops engaged in the affair was General
Henry Champion, whose remains lie buried
in the cemetery at Westchcster, in the town
of Colchestcr. Over them stands a menu—
mcnt upon which is inscribed the following
record; '
The Hon. Henry Champion, born March
27, 1754; died July 13, 1836. . _
The patrie ' m of General Champion
early led him t oin the army of the Reve—
lution. '
He. was a brave and efficient snbalteru
officer at the battle of Bunker Hill. ,
He shared in the perilouslretreat of the
American troops from Long Island.
He rendered essential services under Kos-
ciuszko in constructing the defenses at West
Point.
He led the first battalion of Connecticut
Light Infantry at the capture of Stoney
Point. , ,
Subsequently be filled many offices of hen-
or and trust in his native state. -
By his talents and influence he promote
the welfare of the community where he re
sided. a
He died cheered by the hope and sustain—
ed by the promise of the gospel, leavinga
memory respected by his friends. cherished
by his family and honorable to the place of .
the birth.
General Champion always celebrated the
16th of July, which he termed “Stony Point
day," in due and ancient form at his famous
old country seat in Westchestcr. He was
reputed to be the wealthiest man in Connec—
ticut at the time of his death, his property
being inventoried at about $1,500,000. He
obtained the charter and helped to start the
Phccnix bank -of Hartford. for the reason
that the State bank refused him an accom-
modation of one '-or two hundred thousand
dollars one day. “Well." said be, “if this
bank won't accommodate me I will have one
that will.” General Champion was largely
instrumental in obtaining the school fund
for Connecticut and was chairman of the
committee of the Connecticut legislature to
appoint delegates and arrange for the hold-
ing of the famous '“Hartferd convention" in
1815, his sympathies being strongly with
those who formed that convention. .. His
land and that of his neighbors in Westches—
ter parish furnished the-first supplies which
reached the starving Continental troops at
Valley Forge. Governor Joseph Trumbull
was General Champion's son-iu-Iaw, and the
1:1th Hon. Henry Champion Deming ef
Hartford was his grandson. Judge Hunt-
ington and Judge Nathaniel Shipman of
Hartford are also descendents of General
Champion, the formEr being a great-grand—
son.
I
oin- Gilded Dome.
The many good people of Connecticut who
read their [Bibles may find something in the
book of Daniel which will remind them of
their new marble capitol at Hartford. The
commissioners who have had charge of its
erection have recently been deciding what to
do with the dome, whose copper surface cov-
ers 4,100 square feet. At first, and for some
time, the commissioners seriously thought of
so treating the copper that it would be cov-
ered with verdigris and thus become of a
dark green color; .but they have abandoned
this plan, with all the possibilities of striking
contrast which gave it favor in their eyes,and
will spread upon the dead: $2,000 worth of
gold twenty—three carats fine. When the
General Assembly was occupying this beauti-
ful and costly capitol for the first time last
winter, great alarm was caused by the au-
nounccmcnt that the massive granite piers at
the base of the building and in its center,
which supported the delne and lantern and
much of the central superstruction, were
settling and breaking into pieces. An inves-
tigation was made at oucc,but the blame was
not clearly fixed upon any one, although a
dead man was very conveniently made to
shoulder some of it. These piers, instead
of being of stone, such as the contract had
originally called for, were of brick, covered
by a deceptive veneer of granite. The
weight came upon the edges of these granite
blocks._and some of them are badly cracked
and out of place. Workmen labored day
and night for weeks, pouring melted type-
metal into the holes which were behind the
granite surface. Many tons of this metal
now,lies packed away in these piers, and it
is hoped in this way may be arrested the
settling which threatened to ruin the‘build-
ing. And now, when the great dome above
is soon to' shine with gold, one recalls the
statue which Nebuchadnezz'ar saw in the
dream which Daniel interpreted for him—
whose head was of fine gold, whose breast
was of silver, and whose feet were partly of
iron and partly of clay. ' Its destruction
began at its feet—which were probably no
stronger than a combination of cracked
granite and typometal—aud after these had
been broken, “then was/the iron, the clay,
the brass,' the silver and the gold broken to
pieces together, and became like the chaff of
the summer threshing-floors, and the wind
carried it away.”——New York Time.
Death from bad Drainage.
Could the number of deaths annually
caused by bad drainage be ascertained the
public would be amazed at the fearful mor-
lity. Indeed, lack of proper drainage
‘11 ventilation are two of the greatest
sources of disease and death in both Amer--
ion and Europe, and the evil is not confined
to large towns, for many fine suburban, vil -
Inge and country mansions are defective in
these essentials to comforts, health and even
life itself. ‘
As evidence of the fatal effects of bad
drainage—an evil against which Rural Life
proposes to wage a persistent warfare—the
death of the young d‘tld beautiful Queen of
Spain is new attributed to this cause. In
noticing the painful subject the Herald daily
newspaper of this city very properly rc-
marks: "At last a mcdicalreport is given
of the cause of the death of Queen Mercedes.
Her malady is called nervous gastric fever
with intestinal hemorrhage—in plain terms,
that means typhoid fever with ulceration
of the bevc'rels. Here, then. is another and
exceedingly painful illustration of the sani-
tary condition of the palaces in Europe.
How many grave maladies, how many start-
ling dcaths arc traceable to the same cause
—thc defective drainage of great houses!
Nor only arcthe great houses badly drained
but elaborate contrivaucc is made to carry
into all the apartments the poisonous gases of
cesspoels and similar rcecptables of rubbish.
All is covered up with carving. gildiugJI'CS—
coes and brave upholstery, and thus the tray
is made attractive. It has been shown over
and over again that diseases caused by poi-
sonous cmnuations, like diphtheria and ty-
phoid fever, are in many cities eomm‘oncr
in the houses of the rich, supplied with ‘all
the modern improvements,’ than in the
houses. of the poor, and in Madrid the same
lesson is exhibited in its extreme applica-

Merits it Ireland’s
Celebrated Safes,
In purchasing a Safe, we wish to call your
attention to some of the important advantages
our Safes possess over all others, and which
make them the cheapest and best Safes now
made. -
1st. Our “PATENT Ixsmn BOLT Wonk"
consists in placing the belts and locks on the
inside of the door (as shown in the cllt abowg
where they are’at all times accessible, an
can be cleaned and kept in order, and thus
prevent them from unexpectedly locking you
out. In all other Safes the belts are placed
next the outside plate of iron, being covered
completely by the filling, consequently im-
possible to oil or clean them without digging
out the filling, which is expensive, besides
losing the use of the Safe several days. As
the filling in our Safes is between the locks
and bolts and the outside plate of the door,
in most cases we can unlock our safes on the
combination after they have passed through a
severe fire, which saves breaking them open.
2d. Our “PATENT HiiveEi) CAP" consists
of the back plate of the door being hung on
hinges, and fastened by a thumb-screw,wliieh
enables one to have access to the locks and
bolts by simply removing the thumb-screw.
3d. While other safe-makers use three
wheel locks on their fire-proof safes (reserv-
ing the best four-wheel locks for bank safes),
we put on our.F0Ul:—Wiinai. Leeks on all
safes, from the smallest to the largest, and for
simplicity and durability cannot. be excelled.
41:11. All our Safes are IRON-LINED msmn,
instead of.wood-lined as in other safes, which
enables us to use the the greatest amount of
water in our filling without danger of the
Safe‘s being damp. All corners of the Safes
are secured with angle iron, which, together
with the very hard nature of our filling, pro,-
vents them from injury from falling, or fall—-
ing walls or timbers. Our Safes have THREE
mantras instead of single or double as in
others, and are made with and without inside
doors. In the great Boston fire our Safes had
the champion record, as was fully proved at
the time, to these important improvements
do we owe our success and the great popular-
ity our safes have attained throughout the
country. After that great fire we published
a. complete list of our Safes exposed,those that.
failed to preserve their contents, besides those
that were successful, and for months chal—
lenged our competitor's to follow our example
which they would not do, as they knew that
by so doing they would only assist us in dem-
onstrating to the world the superiority of our
Safes, and our claim to the champion record.
Although that Great Fire so conclusively
proved the superiority of our Safes to resist
intense heat, we believed that we could inr-
prove them, and we have, therefore, since
that time, increased the thickness of the walls,
added to the number of flanges, and strength—
ened them in various ways, until we now
manufacture a Safe better than ever before,
and unequalled for its excellence. It has been
our constant aim to make the BEST SAFE that
can be produced, believing that, especially in
purchasing a safe to keep that which may
have cost a lifetime to accumulate, the best is
decidedly the cheapest. In these dull times
it is the custom of many safe—makers to man-.
ufacture several grades of cheap safes, and
recommend that which can be sold the cheap-
est, without regard to quality, and many
safes are new in use that are painted finely
outside, but are worthless to preserve their
contents from fire. We make but one class
of Safes, which is the best we kn'bw how to
produce. Send for descriptive catalogue.

The field is but a diamond,
And all-the men who occupy it mere players;
They have their outs and innings,
And each man in the game plays many
4 pam-
His acts being nine innings. At first the
batsman
Nerveusly eyeing the pitcher’s arm,
Then the flying base runner, with spiked
811098.
And flashing eyes, running like fun
To light on first. Then the short step,
In scramble for the ball, and with woeful
swiftncss
Heading the runner off. _Then the catcher,
With calleus'ed'hands and face in mask,
Jealous of called balls and quick for fouls,
Seeking to win record
Behind the dangerous bat.
pitcher,
With sturdy calves and muscles plumed,
With eyes severe upon the striker’s bat,
Full of delusive felntc .and modem cmcfi.
And so he phyg his part. The sixth change
Shifts to the outer field, ’
Where, thin and sleek, the player stands,
With hands on knees, watching for a fly,
His stockinged shanks and canvnlled' fee‘
Ready to turn again and chase the whizzing
Then on the first the player stands with
hooped spine,
Crooked elbowund watchful eyes, .
Alert at every crook of pitcher's arm,
And ever eager to put the striker out.
The second baseman deals in short files
And humming grounders,
Affects an athlete's stride along the line,
Guards zealously his place,
And longs for double plays.
The last play of all in this eventful game
Is third man out; and some players
Leave the field with sprained shins,
Sans fingernails, sans teeth.

to sit upon the fence. Of late years it has
been the custom to invest the class with
this privilege somewhat formally, and the
Sophomores, naturally enough, have charge
of the ceremony. This year, Isaac Bremley
of ’81,a son of Mr. Isaac H. Bromley, of
the New York Tribune > staff, delivered the
address of welcome, which was interrupted
from time to time. by uproarious applause.
Having been hoisted upon a post, Bromley
' made the following remarks :'
. Gentlemen of the Class of ’82-'0n behalf
of my classmates and the ‘ faculty I congrat-
ulate you on having reached the Sophomore
fence. It marks a’ memorable point in your
career-Daughter], for we cease giving you
tafi‘vwhe'n we give you the fence.[Laughter.]
All your studies of Freshman 'year have
been simply to prepare you to sit gracefully
on the Sopomore fence. [LaughterJ' Your
‘victbry over Harvard gave you an oppor-
'tunity for practice in the exercises on the
’ fence np'yender, and we have been gratified
to‘ observe that you do well. [Laughton
So wellithat' it' had been remarked by the
faculty that it seems to be your best hold.
Enlighten] On this subject President
_Porter at a recent faculty meeting [laughter]
said: _“what is‘there more becoming and
ornamental to a fence than aFrcshman ?”
[Laughter-J And when Professor-Thatcher
answered “The Cat!" [laughter] ‘the whole
faculty came in on the chorus “It is indeed
the cat." [Laughter and cheers] But let it
be no discouragement to you to be beaten by
the cat. That's what the cat infer. [Great
LaughterJ
You have doubtless found out by this time
that the members of the faculty do not view
you With favor. They have been prejudic-
ed against yeu ever since you entered co!-
Icge. [Laughtcn] They said you were too
pushing although you did not seem disposed
to shove any, and you know so much that
they were half afraid to tryand teach you
anything. [Laughtcn] Like the Irishman
on horseback when the horse put his hind
foet‘in the stirrup they were ready to say,
“If you’re going to get on I'll get off.”
[Laughton] And when we proposed given
you the fence' they vigorously opposed it.
[Grcat'laughten] 'Onc professor whom I1 will
not name. said, “If you giv in a lien on
the fence they'll soon have a mortgage on
the whole college." Another said, “Give
fem an inch and theylll' take an ell." “Take
ell!" cried the president, ' “they’ll raise it."
[Great laughterJ, But we insisted that you
should have the fence and they reluctantly
yielded. 1 may say to you in confidence gen-
tlemen, that yen owe nothing to the faculty,
but‘every'thing to the class of"81. [Laugh—
ter and applause] We‘have tolerated you
when they wanted to fire you out. [Laugh—
_ 'ter.] As— seen as they began to know you
at the beginning of Freshman year, to see
that you‘w'e’re not only hail‘dsome but good
and great and that you were liable at any
moment to rise up and run the college, they
said, ‘This‘class’ must ‘be either’tetally sup-
pressed or, greatly thinned out and the
order given us " was decimatuln dammum
[great laughter], which being Latin, you
will understand better next year. [Long
continued brighten] Out of tenderness for
you we have refrained‘from obeying, the or-
der strictly. We have slaincomparatively
few of you, though. many have gone and
got slewed on their own account. [Laugh-
ton] Never forget. gentlemen, you own
your lives to the {elbow _ ee‘of .'Sf,an'd when-

' Wehad hitendcdmentlemeu, before turn-
ing the fence over to you to have veneered
it in romwood and mahogany, upholstered
it insatin, built canopies over it, and set up
foot rests in front. But when we proposed
it the faculty scouted the idea. They said:
“With such ears, what need of canopies?”
Enlighten] A's to foot rests,they made no
objection except that they must be put in-
side the fence. They said the‘ college au-
thorities had no right to permit thcclass of
’82 to sit with their feet- on the outside and
obstruct the whole street. ‘l'Great brighten]
And one of your own instructors suggested
the erection of a market rack with meat hooks
‘0 hang you on by the seat of'ymir trousers.
[Laughter-.1

To this joeose welcome Barclay Johnson,
of ’82, made an appropriate response, the
ceremony was at an end and the Freshmen
quietly took possession of one of the most
precious privileges of their college course.
