The state of New Jersey, as every
schoolboy knows, was the scene of
many stirring events during; the revolu
tion, and almost every city, town and
hamlet has, or claims to have, a land
mark of which its inhabitants are very
proud and delight to point out to vis
itors. As in many other parts of the
country, however, some of these monu
ments, which should have the greatest
ciaim on the American people from a
historical point of view, have been neg
lected, apparently forgatten and al
lowed to go to decay and rum. One of
these is the old Berrian house at Rocky
Hill. It was in this house that Wash
ington resided for many months, and
among other acts wrote his farewell
address to the continental army. The
house, says the New York Tribune, is
an old-fashioned structure, with large,
square rooms and low ceilings to re
tain the heat from the hickory and
oak logs burned in the big, open fire
places. At the time that Gen. Wash
ington occupied the house it was the
homestead of the family of Judge John
Ucrrian, one of the oldest families in the
state, which at that time owned vast
tracts of land, obtained by grants from
tho crown. Judge Uerrian, when the
clash came, remained loyal to the
American cause, and his house became
a refuge for Gen. Washington ou more
than one occasion. The old Iterrian
mansion is located about a quarter of a
mile from the village, on a steep bluff
overlooking the Millstone river. Hie
little village of Rocky Hill is about six
miles from Princeton as the crow flies.
Oil the old post road and located in
among the densely wooded hills of
Somerset county it was unknown to
Cornwallis or his soldiers, and after the
battles of Trenton and Frineeton was
just the place for Washington and his
handful of continentals to retire to for
rest and refuge.
Washington afterward returned at
different periods to Rocky Hill during
the progress of the war, but tho longest
time he resided in the liurrian house
was from June, 1783, to the following
November. This was just after con
gress had adjourned at Trenton to meet
at l'rinceton in the old college build
ings, and hero Washington was sum
moned to meet them. Accompanied by
Jlrs. Washington and a part of his mil
itary family, Washington took up his
residence in the old Itcrrinn house. The
general and his staff rode daily over
the seven miles of road to l'rinceton,
where congress was in session. Gen.
Washington evidently found life ex
ceedingly restful and pleasant in the
Iterrian house, and found time to in
dulge in the simple social recreations
of the neighborhood. Among the peo
ple lie called uuon was the family of
John Van Horn, a wealthy farmer,
with whom was staying at the time the
noted painter, John Dunlap. Tho lat
ter, in his reminiscences of Washing
ton, mentions the agreeable surprise
among the people over the pleasant
discovery that tho great general pose
w-smmI a liking for social pleasures and
ui mill appreciate a joke by laughing as
heartily os other men. It was supposed
that Washington was always serious
und grave.
Gen. Washington and Mrs. Washing
ton were still living in tho lierriun
house on Novemlier 2. 1785, and while
there the general wrote his farewell
address to the little army of patriots.
Washington li-ft KocWv Hill at the end
of Novi'iiiU-r and went to Newburg to
prepare fur his triumphant entry with
Ins nnny into New York. It Is prole

CROWS NOT TO Bl TKUolED.
Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report
An&OlWEVX PURE
A Cunulng Ulrd'a Stratagem to Oct Food
at a Uunters' Camp.
"A crow is the slickest bird flying
when it wants to be," said Lige Thom
ner as he sat on the edge of a soap box
at Williams' store at Long Hill Centre,
says the New York Sun; "and to prove
it I will toll a circumstance that oc
curred when a party of us were camp
ing at Canaan Mountain pond last fall.
"There were an almighty lot of crows
around the hut we occupied, and one
day I brought out my gun and shot into
a tlock. All escaped my shot except
one, which was lying on tho ground
wounded. 1 went to tho place and
picked the wounded bird up and found
that its left leg had been broken by the
shot. Taking tho crow to the hut I
amputated the leg, and taking a hot
coal from tho fire I burned the stump
so that it would not bleed. The bird
was then allowed to go at liberty, but
instead of leaving the vicinity of the
camp it hung around and the boys
would feed it with crumbs from tho
table, and it became quite tuiiie. It
would come limping into camp just
like a veteran nfror bis v"i inn.
"At about meal time the crow could
be expected at first, but at hcl its visits
became more frequent. Oik' uf the boys
hinted that the bird ivc wi re leeding
was not tho victim of my 'linshot, and
in investigating this theory we found
out what a great deceiver the crow is.
Up the alley leading to the spot where
the bird had been in the habit of re
ceiving its food there hopped one day
a fine black crow. There was nothing
about the bird to show that it was not
the same one that had been the object
of our bounty so long. It hud only one
leg, so far as we could see.
" 'I'll bet that ain't our crow,' said
Charley.
" 'Yes, it is, too,' I says; 'it has only
one leg.'
" 'You wait and see,' says Charley,
and away he hurried, and returned
with his gun. Raising it and taking
jareful aim, he fired, and the bird
stretched over on the ground dead. We
made an examination, and sure enough
the blrntitid iwolegsas good and sound
as any bird flying. When it had come
into our camp it had hitched the other
up under Its wing ho ns to deceive us
and secure food, it must have watched
us feeding the wounded bird n ml saw
an opportunity of securing food by imi
tating that one. All crows are so near
alike there is no identifying one, n nil
the only way we knew ours was by tho
one leg. When such a clever imitator
uttacked us we were badly fooled. I
do not J; now what became of the real
wounded bird. It never showed up
after the other was killed. 1 don't
know but that fv had been feeding
the laigus bird for the real one fur
weeks before we found out our mistake
as it was."

figure in Paris society. i
fcihe is extremely handsome and
dresses superbly, but is never seen in
public alone. Some member of her I
family always accompanies her and I
never leaves her side for an instant, al
though a married woman over thirty
years of age does not usually require
such minute chaperonage. Sho is a
very charming woman, and a very
brilliant conversationalist, and is
most deservedly popular here. The
horror of her friends may bo guessed
when she was arrested recently on the
Faubourg Montmartre for stealing a
sausage valued at eight cents from the
front of a grocery. The grocer had her
promptly arrested, and on searching
her they found some potatoes, some
eggs, an opera glass, a photograph of
Carnot, a coffee cup and saucer and a
spoon, and, also, unhappily, her card
case, giving her full name and address,
the only thing that was legally her
property, as tho other articles were
claimed by their rightful owners, from
whom she had annexed them: The
family were sent for, and by paying
for tho stolon objects were able to re
lease their poor relative, who sat weep
ing bitterly. It seems that this irre
sistible impulse to appropriate other
people's gooilB is periodic.

The natives of Jamaica have no need
to buy soap, for the woods abound in
plants whose leaves and bulbs supply
very well the pluee of that indispensa
ble article. Among the best of these
is the hoan tree, so called, though it is
more a bush than a tree. Its botanical
name is I'halaugium Fomeridianum.
1 ts buib, when rubbed on wet clothes,
makes a beautiful lather, which smells
much lilte the common brown soap.
The Jamaica negroes, some of whom
art! great dandies in their way, make a
soap out of cocoanut oil nnd homo
made lye; nnd a lino soap it is, smooth
and fragrant. This cocoanut-oil soap
is used for shaving.
When it mail wi:,hes to shave In the
morning he starts out with his coeoa-nut-t.hcll
cup and hlsdonkcy-tail brush
end a bottle. It is never liny trouble
to find an empty bottle in .Taiuuica,
even in the mountains. At least twenty
gcncratioim of thirsty people have
lived there, and thrown uway tho
empty bottles.
The man carries no mirror, because
he has none to carry. Mot one ncgrji
cabin in a do.cn Inn even a cheap
loohing-ghiss. I'.ut nature provides the
mirror lis well as t he soap. The man
gis-s to o convenient pool in the moun
tain stream, where the water Is still,
and there is his mirror. He breaks his
bottle on a stone nnd picks out a good
sharp piece. Then lie lathers his foce
pri. fm cly and begins to scrajnt away
willi his piece of glass, which works
.ilmiist as well us a sharp rn.nr.

side and bottom, breaking the bones of
the foot.
"My clothes were torn to pieces and
thrown from my body," said Mr. Hoff
man to a writer for the New York
World, "and my shoes were torn from
my foot."
lie became unconscious as soon as he
was struck by the lightning and did
not revive for an hour and a half.
When he regained his senses Hoffman
was in great pain and ho was confined
to tho hospital for nine weeks. When
Hoffman's clothing was examined after
tho accident it was seen that in many
places the lightning had cut the cloth
as neatly as if it had been done with a
razor. Some of the cuts were long and
straight. Tho lightning took his
clothes off quicker than he could have
undressed himself, and it threw them
in a pile on one side of the track, with
his shoes carefully deposited beside tho
pile. The clothes seemed to have been
neatly folded until they were exam
ined and found to be a pile of rags.
Hoffman's "pants" had been yanked off
him without the formality of pulling
them over his feet. This seemingly im
possible tatik was accomplished by
the lightning first cutting each leg
open, and then it appeared to have tak
en them by tho seat and dropped them
on the coat, and to finish the job by
depositing Mr. llolf man's straw hat on
top of all. After it got through with
Hoffman this remarkable streak of
lightning ran along a metal track into
the (llengary mine, at tho mouth of
which he had been working, ran to tho
end of tho shaft, which is four hundred
feet below the surface of tho ground,
and then it ran along a "cross cut" two
hundred feet where it branched off and
for sixty feet followed a "winze."
There were several men at work at this
poiut.and ull were more or less stunned.
Tho bolt of lightning went into the
earth when it reached the end of the
"winze." Hoffman Is now known in
Butte as "tho human lightning rod."
