BATTLE OF TRENTON.
On Christmas day in seventy-six "■
Our ragged troops, with bayonets fixed,
For Trenton marched away.
The Delaware see, the boats below.
The light obscured by hail and snow,
But no signs of dismay.
Our object was the Hessian band,
That dared invade fair freedom’s land
And quarter in that place.
Great Washington he led us on.
Whose streaming flag in storm or sun
Had never known disgrace.
In silent march we passed the night,
Each soldier panting for the fight,
Though quite benumbed with frost.
Greene on the left at six began.
The right was led by Sullivan
Who ne’er a moment lost.
Their pickets stormed, the alarm was
spread
That rebels risen from the dead
Were marching into town.
Some scampered here, some scampered
there,
And some for action did prepare,
But soon their arms laid down.
Twelve hundred servile miscreants,
With all their colors, guns and tents,
Were trophies of the day.
The frolic o’er, the bright canteen
In center, front and rear was seen
Driving fatigue away.
Now, brothers of the patriot bands,
Let’s sing deliverance from the hands
Os arbitrary sway,
And as our life is but a span
Let’s touch the tankard while we can
In memory of that day.

Giotto’s Campanile.
In St. Nicholas Mr. John Ward
writes of “The Bell Towers of -It
aly.” In speaking of Giotto Mr. 1
Ward says:
This great and well beloved artist,
who was at once painter, poet, 1
sculptor and architect, was popular
ly supposed to have been a shep
herd. Tradition tells us that as he
daily tended his flock in the pas
ture one little lainb was ever by his
side, showing him the most touch
ing affection. When at last the little
lamb was about to die, it spoke in
verse to the shepherd, telling him
that its spirit would remain with
him always in the form of a fairy
and that through its favor he was
to become a great artist. At all
events, the prophecy came true, for
Giotto became an artist of world
wide fame, and he built a tower in
Florence known as Giotto’s Cam
panile. It is said that here the fairy
has dwelt ever since among the
bells, flitting through the silent
spaces.
Giotto, commanded by the city to
build an edifice which in height and
richness was to surpass any pre
vious structure in the world’s his
tory, in 1334 laid the cornerstone of
his great tower. No expense was
spared, and some of the greatest
artists worked upon it. Sculptures
by Donatello, Andrea Pisano and
Luca della Robbia decorate the base
ment story and comprise several
series of subjects—the seven liberal
arts and sciences, the seven cardinal
virtues, the seven works of mercy,
the invention of navigation, besides
many religious and historical sub
jects from the creation down. The
upper three stories are ornamented
with spiral shafts and carved mold
ings, and the whole is built in alter
nate courses of black and white
marble, the contrasting tints of
which have been mellowed and soft
ened by time.
And He Knew Too.
A young theological student, who
is about to depart for the missionary
fields, told an amusing story on him
self the other evening that gives an
insight to the cause that led to his
determining to preach the gospel to
the heathen. He had called on a
young lady, and her little brother
posted himself in an armchair fac
ing a handsome gilt clock. He had
been there half an hour when the
young lady said, “Robbie, why don’t
you go to the nursery?”
“I am waiting,” replied Robbie.
“What are you waiting for, my
dear?”
“Why, for his face to stop the
clock. You know what you said. ”

Her Honor, Miss Mayor Parker, will
preside over the deliberations of the city

say city fathers) of Kendrick, Idaho,
from and after the first day of next
month. She was the other day elected
to the office of mayor, after a spirited
camnaign with “one of the best men of
the place” as an opponent. Not a great
while ago we had information of a spir
ited political contest in the West be
tween a young woman Populist and a
young man Democrat, in which, after
running right up to the jumping-off
place, otherwise election day, they com
promised their differences and consoli
dated forces by getting married. Miss
Parker, however, was after the office for
keeps, and not after a husband, and it is
predicted that she will not only hold
office to the end of her term, but will
prove one of the “best men” who have
ever sat in the chair.

BILLINGS QUEERED HIMSELF
Wouldn’t Celli His Colonial House a Bun
galow and Wouldn’t Have a Den.
“It is all right for a man to be a
snob in the city if he chooses, but it
makes him very unpopular in the
country,” said Mr. Suburbanite as
he settled back in his chair. “Now,
there is Billings,” he added pointed
ly.
“Billings is no snob,” said Brown.
“He is an old friend of mine, and
I’ll bank on Billings every time.”
“That was what I said before he
built a house in my town. I told
every one that Billings was all
right, and now that Billings has
queered himself I am in hot water. ”
“Billings was not a man who was
in the habit of queering himself.
What did he do? Shoot a neighbor’s ’
dog?”
“Oh, no!” replied Suburbanite
wearily. “Billings’ offense was more
serious than that. He declined to
call his house the Bungalow, and
every one of his neighbors resented
it. In fact, he wouldn’t name the
house at all.”
“That is to his credit,” said
Brown.
“No, it isn’t—where Billings
lives,” said Suburbanite. “If you
have any local pride at all, you are
bound to call your house the Bunga
low.’ It is absolutely necessary.”
“Billings told me that he had
built a colonial house, and if he did
that would let him out. Os course
it would be absurd to call a colonial
house a bungalow. ”
“That was just what Billings was
foolish enough to say,” said Sub
urbanite, “and unfortunately four
colonial houses in his part of town
were each called the Bungalow.
You see, the local dealer in note pa
per agreed several years ago to get
up a special brand headed the
Bungalow, with the number and
street added to suit the purchaser, if
he were sure of having at least a
dozen customers who would order
it. Owing to death and fire the num
ber of bungalows had been reduced
to 11 when Billings began to build,
and the paper dealer was complain
ing. When the rumor went the
rounds of the bowling clubs and
whist clubs that Billings had reject
ed the name bungalow, there was a
commotion, I can tell you. As I had
vouched for Billings a delegation of
indignant house owners called on
me at once and asked me if Billings
wanted to hurt the town or if he
was merely a snob. I defended him
as best I could, but it was no use. ”
“Poor Billings!” said Brown. .
“That was not his only offense, ”
continued Suburbanite. “When he
gave his housewarming, he thought
that he could make his neighbors
forget the Bungalow incident by his
hospitality. He had a Hungarian
band and a caterer from New York,
and his house was well decorated.
Poor Billings! Some one should have
coached him. One of the first guests
to arrive was a woman who has throe
daughters who are popular. Conse
quently she is something of a social
power. She admired Billings’ par
lors, his dining room and his billiard
room and then said:
“ ‘Now, Mr. Billings, as a near
neighbor and a friend I am going
to ask you a favor. I think the key
note of every man’s house is his
den. It indicates his tastes and fads,
you know, and I am going to ask
you to show me your den. ’
“ ‘But I haven’t got any den,’ said
Billings.
“ ‘Now, Mr. Billings,’ she persist
ed, ‘that is hardly fair. I am so anx
ious to see it f
“ ‘Really there is no such place
in my house,’ he said. ‘I suspect
that you meafi one of those stuffy
little cubby holes usually filled up
with a lot of trash until you can’t
move and cherished as the exclusive
retiring place of the master of the
house. I called to see my plumber
while the house was building, and
he took me up to see his den, as he
called it. The place was well named.
You certainly didn’t think that I
would have a den in my house?’
“ ‘Every house in the neighbor
hood has a den,’ she answered
sharply, ‘and some of them are
quite as nice houses as yours, Mr.
Billings.’
“Before the evening was ended
several other women asked Mr. Bill
ings where his den was, and when
it became known that to add to his
offensive rejection of the Bungalow
he had neglected to fit up a den his
doom was sealed. Billißgs says that
he paid for the house and he can do
as he chooses with it, but surely he
has made two mistakes. ”
“Poor Billings I” said Brown
again.—New’ York Sun.

NUMBER 28.
UNDERGROUND STREAMS.
There Are Tliousauds of Miles of Subter
ranean Rivers In Kentucky.
Mr. John R. Proctor, formerly
state geologist of Kentucky, has
written an article for The Century
on “The Mammoth Cave of Ken
tucky.’’ Mr. Proctor says:
Passing southward through Ken
tucky on the Louisville and Nash
ville railway the observant traveler
will notice that about 40 miles from
Louisville the road climbs Mul
drow’s hill, which is the northern
escarpment of an elevated limestone
plateau sloping gently to the south
and west. The road traverses this
plateau for about 100 miles and de
scends a southern escarpment into
the basin of central Tennessee. In
this distance only three streams are
crossed—Nolin, Green and Barren
rivers—and between these rivers the
entire surface drainage passes away
through subterranean channels, giv
ing rise to a curious “sink hole”
topography which is peculiar to this
region. These circular and oval
shaped depressions are so numerous
that in places tho rims almost touch
one another, and one can sometimes
count several hundred to the square
mile. Through vents at the bottom
of these sinks the surface water
passes downward into cavernsand
underground streams,emptying into
the above named rivers through
arched ways near water level and in
places beneath the surface of the
rivers.
The surface rock of this plateau
is the subcarboniferous limestone,
which is here several hundred feet
thick, a massive, remarkably homo
geneous rock, with no intervening
strata of shale or sandstone, condi
tions most favorable for the forma
tion of caverns. Consequently this
region contains more and larger
caves in a given area than any other
region in the world. In Edmonson
county, where the celebrated Mam
moth cave is located, it is claimed
that there are as many as 500 known
caverns.
A range of hills of unifoim height,
running parallel with the railway
and several miles distant, will bo
observed to the north. On nearer
inspection this will be seen to be a
level plateau rising out of the lime
stone plain and held up by a cap
ping of massive sandstone. It is
beneath the protection of this sand
stone capped plateau that the larger
caves are found. Green river has
cut through this plateau to a depth
of about 320 feet, and as the sand
stone cap is about 70 feet thick we
find about 25C feet of massive lime
stone exposed above the drainage
level. As some of the domes and
upper avenues of tho caves extend
up tQ the base of the sandstone and
some down to the drainage level we
thus have feet as the present
limit of the vertical extension of
these caves. The evidence is con
clusive that these caves have been
cut down to correspond with the
deepening of the channel cut by
Green river. In the region imme
diately along the line of the rail
way, where the sandstone capping
and the upper limestone have been
removed by erosion, the caverns
have less vertical extension and cor
respond to the lower avenues of the
Mammoth and other caves to the
north. Doubtless large caverns, cor
responding to those now remaining
beneath the sandstone plateau exist
, ed here before tho upper member of
. the limestone was eroded from this
|area.
There is no means of estimating
tho extent of the caverns and sub
terranean streams in this region,
i Every one of the innumerable de-
I pressions, or sinkholes—save where
the vents have been closed, thus
i forming ponds—communicates with
lan underground channel or cave,
and the aggregate length of such
I channels has been estimated at
■ many thousands of miles. Nor can
; we form any estimate of the num
ber and extent of large caverns yet
j undiscovered. But for the erosion
' caused by a small stream cutting
through the roof of Mammoth cave
the present entrance would not have
j been broken open, and this, the
j greatest of caves, might have re
i mained unknown. Several other of
the largest and most beautiful caves
sin this region have been found by
accident. Hidden grandeurs doubt
less yet remain entombed beneath
' the extensive uplands reaching out
on both sides of Green river.
In crossing the southern upland
we come upon oval shaped limestone
valleys, surrounded on all sides by
j a sandstone rim, with no outlet save
through vents in the bottom. These
i valleys are sometimes hundreds of
acres in extent, and are probably
! formed by the falling in of exten
sive caverns, the debris, disintegrat
ed by the elements, being carried
away through the subterranean
channels. The fact that existing
caves under the hills surrounding
these valleys have been found
through entrances in the sides of
some of the valleys is an indication
that this may have been the condi
tion.
