It was in 1778, while in command of
Philadelphia,that he married the beauti

daughter of Chief Justice Shippen, of
Pennsylvania, an open and well known
loyalist. This connexion threw Arnold
much amongst the enemies of.his coun

of New London flocked into that place

The following capital anecdote we
find in the National Intelligencer:
General T., of New York, a gentle
man of known wealth and liberality,
was not long since called upon by a
person to obtain his signature on a peti
tion fir the abolitio 1 of capital punish
ment. The person unfolded his papers
and documents, and presented and en
forced hi s arguments in rather a .tire-
s*»me speech, stopping occasionally to
depos^te a mouthful of tobacco Juice,

expediency of abolishing them in all
cases. At the expression of 1 his opin-
his visiter began lo bridle tip and
prepare to lay down bis arguments with
greater force and in order to give great
er facility to his enunciation, he took
from his mouth a huge quid nf tobacco,
atul threw it upon the white marble
hearth, saying he wished the General
would be so good as to inform him in
what cases capital punishment could
ever he justified or defended.
“ Well,” said the General, it “ strikes
me that, if we are going to almlish cap
ital punishment, there are two cases
which should be made exceptions.”
“ Two cases, are there ?’* said the
petitioner. “ Well, sir, I should I ke to
hear them slated, ami the arguments for
hem.”
‘.The first,” said the General, “is
that of clear, cold-blooded, premeditat
ed murder. I think the person who lies
in waiting or in ambush, with malice
prepense, ami takes the life of his fel
low-creature, ought to forfeit his life in
return.. He deserves to be hung.”
“ Well, l have abimdance of argu
ments to meet that case,” said the vtsi-
•. “ Now I should like lokuow what
your other case.”
“ The other case,” said the General,

inouihfui of disgusting filth into a
clean house, and there pours it about
the carpet and scatters it over the hearth.

The visiter gathered up his pnpers,
thrust them into his pocket, and with a
very blank look hastily withdrew. He

The art of advertising, is the same
to a tradesman as the art nf dressing is
to beauty. The great secret with both
is to expose enough to excite curiosity,
and to couceul enough to leave curiosity

Nothing increases the business of a
