THE’ EVENING STAR, NASSAU OLD NORTH COLLEGE An Historic Building Familiar to Sons of Princeton. THE CENTER OF STIRRING SCENES Target for Revolutionary Artillery and a Hall for Congress. —_—_.———_ FOR HES: BARRACKS IANS —___+— Correspordence of The Evening Star. PRINCETON, N. J., October 6, 1896. ‘The coming sesquicentennial celebration at Princeton College promises to center around one structure. The visitors to the town on that occasion will admire the mod- ern jormitories and the classic architecture of the hails of the two Hterary societies, but Nassau Hall, that historic old site, which has withstood fire and bom- bardment,whose roof has sheltered a Unit- ed States Congress in session, and from whose portals have passed some of the greatest thinkers and lawmakers of the world, will cause the neighboring struc- tures, beautiful though they are, to look insignificant Through all its vicissitudes Old Nassau bas not changed much from the days of Edwards Witherspoon. It Is much the same as it was when President James Madison was graduated in 1771, and it is the building to which he always referred as the ‘e where he had acquired the foundation of his learning in statesman- ship and politics. Nassau Hall was founded in 1735, and the expen: its construction was large! defrayed by contributions from the Pres- byterfan Church in thi: land. but it was proba! or $20,006 but country and Eng- This expense is not exactly known, not more than $15,040) i; handsome sum in those days, ere nothing in comparison with «s that is now being expended 3 new library.

Not only Americans but also distin; itors noted all its dimensions and architectural characteris- ties in their written accounts of their tray- els. There seems to be something wrong in the expression “college building” in these latter days, when even the smallest cross- roads ins! ion of learning can boast of three or four; but N: u Hall was liter- ally the college building. It contained ledgings for 147 students, with a refectory, | library, recitation rooms and chapel. Strusale of the Revolution. The old building had an uneventful c: reer for the first twenty years of its exist- ence. Classes came and went. Four presi- dents governed within its walls, including that great clergyman and philosopher, Jonathan Edwards; but it was not until 1777 that the “college building” itself was to receive first baptism—one of fire and smoke, accompanied by the boom of artil- lery. The storm of war broke upon Prince- ton in December, 1776. The British army had caused the abandonment of Brooklyn, New York, Fort Washington and Fort Lee, and Washington had retreated to Prigeeton. New Jersey had become the tattle ground, and as the tide of war swept back and forth from Princeton to Trenton, Old Nassau was the barrackg first of one army and then of the other. The number of undergraduates in the college was at one time reduced to ten. President Witherspoon, always an earnest patriot, was then giving fully as much time to the councils of war and govern- ment as to the management of Princeton College; Lut some members of the faculty Were at the institution all the time, and a few degrees were conferred each year. On New Year day, 1777, a brigade of Hessian es were quartered in the college. tation rooms in the basement served as stables and the benches were tak- irs for firewood. Two days later this body of troops started out to jo% Cornwallis at Trenton. Their Progress was stopped a short distance fror Princeton by Gen. Mercer, and again the took refuge in Old Nassau and prepared 1 make a defense. The artillery of the colo tists soon dislodged them, but not without leaving severe evidence of its work upor the structure. Suffice it to say that the col- lege of w Jersey, concretely speaking. was a wreck. Even the flooring had beer ripped up and used as firewood. But the sturdy oic walls remained unshaken, and, as speedily as the generally tumultuous state of affairs would permit, the building was refitted and came out of its temporary existence as a fortress perhaps better than ever. Where Congress Met. The war was hardly over when the Conti- nental Corgress, sitting In Philadelphia, was actually besieged by 300 Pennsylvania malcontent soldiers, who demanded their pay, and made violent threats in case of a refusel. A congressional retreat from the Quaker city was imperative. President Witherspvon, a member of that body. placed Nassau Hall at its disposal. and for over four months the nations] legislature con- vened in the library room of the college. Washington came to Princeton three times during that period, and on one of his vis its, at the commencement in September! 1783, gave to the college 50 guineas. Thi the trustees voted to expend for a! portrait of the father of his country, and this 'pic! tere hcngs today in the room Nassau Hall where Congress met. It is syrrounde! by a frame which formerly ado: a@ like! ress of George II. During the fighting around the old college, however; a well- aimed shot from an American cannot crashed through a window and badly shat- tered the king’s portrait—tradition also claiming that the shot was sc well directed and did ‘ts work so neatly as just to decapt- tate the regal likenese. General Washington was at all times well disposed toward Princeton, and in his cortespozdence frequently referred in most flattering terms to “Nassau College.” It was only a few years before his death that he showed his opinion of the institu- tien by sending there as a student his adopted son, George Washington Parke Custis, and the incident fs interesting he- cause it is the only case on record in which this country’s first Prenideat, in the ex- pressive pbrase of today, bad his “leg pulled.” The adopted son with long name had that marked preference for doing noth- ing Sometimes found among college stu- ents. ‘Touched the Old Man. General Washington knew of the young man’s weakness and wrote to him often abeut it. But the letters that the student would send in reply to make the old man at Mt. Sernon think that he stood at the head of his class, and incidentally to “make a touch” for $25, are well worth the attention of any modern collegian who needs an extra $100 at the end of a term. “Devotedly and intrinstcall yours,” he would sign himself.

Why he left Princeton does not appear, but it looks much as though the “college drew away from him” in the lan- guage of today. It was not until 1802 that Old Nassau was again to be subjected to a severe test. Then for the first time the college authori- ties were in difficulty with the students over questions of discipline. An open break was imminent. On March 6, 1802, Nassau Hall was completely gutted by fire. A thorough investigation failed to show incendiarism, but it is strongly sus- pected that some students were at the bottom of the affair. It was with refer- ence to this incident that Washington Ir- ving, when traveling through Princeton four years later, jotted down in his note- book, with characteristic humor: ‘“Prince- torn—college—students famous for their love of a jest—set the college on fire and burned out the professors; an excellent joke, but not worth repeating.” A Students’ War. In 1807 the students openly revolted from the faculty, and Nassau Hall was again made a fortress, this time by the students, who stocked it with provisions, barricaded doors and windows, and settled to resist a long siege. How long the pres- ident and tutors were excluded from their proper realm history does not tell, but the faculty triumphed, and a large number of | the students were suspended or expelled. Fire again visited the historic structure In 1855, but those old walls, built with a provincial honesty, have shown themselves proof against fire and bombardment, and where today they are not covered with the class ivies they appear compact ard firm encugh to outlive another century and a half. Surrounded by so many buildings of n and equipment Old Nassau has almost outlived its usefulness as a dormitory, and it is now almost wholly given over to the gevlogieal museum and laboratory. But those portions of history which have been enacted within and around {ts walls give to the old building an interest of its own, wholly independent of anything which it may contain. ——= FOOLING THE cow. The Mean Trick Pinyed on a Bovine Mother in India. From the Independent. Early in my Indian experiences I heard pecple talk of cows, their market price, amount of milk, yield, age, etc., just as at home; so, although the cow of India im- pressed me as rather queer looking, it did tt occur to me that she, while a trifle mcre bovine than a cow elephant, is no mere our faithful, patient brindle than is a cow buffalo. Subsequently, more inti- mate acquaintance with the creature, her moral character, her behavior, her super- Stilions, suggested to me the truth. The ways of the heathen cow are pecu- liar. She seems incapable of complete demestication, retaining many of her wild Rabi 8. She yields miik only while rear- ing her young. If her offspring be taken The at- tempt to milk her in the absence of, her calf involves almost as much danger as would the endeavor to milk a giraffe, with its famed hoof power. One morning the swala (Cowherd) informed me that one of the calves had died in the night, and that the mother refused to allow herself to be milked. He explained elaborately that if the calf’s skin should be stuffed and set up before the cow at milking time she would continue to give milk and would allow the milk to be taken. He insinuatingly sug- gested that if I should give him certain rupees for the purchase of materials he wetld stuff the skin. This story seemed to me not only improbable, but very. In America I had milked more than one kick- ing cow. Calmly, not to say loftily, re- questing the gwala to bring his pail, I marched down to the cow house, inwardly resolved to see the reason why that cow hould not be milked—meaning to show him that what an Indian could not do an American could. Outside the cowshed, under the trees, the zebus were tethered in a row. They paid no attention to the half naked, brown gwala, but at my approach each, with wild eyes and uplifted head, snorting and trembling, seemed but for their restraining tether rope, about to bound away into her native jungle. The gwala called a second man to his aid. With a new rope they lassoed the bereaved's hinder legs, holding them in a slipnoose. One man ‘held the end of the rope while the other with the pail cautiously approached the zebu. In a twinkling the pail was a rod away, the man with the rope was pulling as for his life, the man with the pail was with it still, I was gasping to regain my breath, while that zebu was kicking as nothing unpos- sessed could kick. he appeared utterly indifferent as to whether there were ground under her, as all four feet seemed con- tinuously in the air. The terpsichorean adept who was declared able to dance me foot six Inches off de groun’, de oder not quite touchin’, must deliver up the palm. Thankful that my valorous resolutions had been mental, later I meekly gave the gwala exactly one-third of the amount he had requested and directed him to stuff the calf’s skin. This having been ac- ccmplished I was again summoned to the scene of action. Though no abnormal do- velopment of either quills or ears was dis- cernil there stood that remarkable cow contentedly licking and fondling her off- spring, occasionally lunching scantily upon the hay stuffing, which protruded through the rudely sewed seams of her progeny’s while the native merrily milked away, is customary, on the wrong side. ———____+e-_- A Canine Friend in Need. From the New Orleans Times-Democrat. “Talk about the sagacity of dogs,” re- marked Jenkins, as he scornfully surveyed the records of the good deeds done by ca- nines in general, “why, I saw something the other day which beats the world—some- thing which, in addition to proving the reasoning power of dogs, showed also that some of them at least possess a great ca- pacity for affection for their own kind. A friend of mine uptown owns several dogs, among the lot being a magnificent grey- hound and a diminutive spaniel, the two dogs, notwithstanding the disparity in size, being warm friends. The other day the dog catcher wagon was making the rounds, and, as usual, missing the curs, while cor. ralling the animals which are well taken care of. It happened that my friend's front gate nad been left open, and the two dogs mentioned escaped into the street just as the wagon turned the corner. There was a great cry on the part of the catch- ers, who grasped thelr nets and made a scrambie for the little spaniel, not seeming to like the idea of tackling the big hound. ‘The poor little spaniel realized her danger and attempted to escape. She flew like one possessed in every direction, only to be headed off by the men with the nets and a score of small boys. She finally halted, panting, in the middle of the street, and one cf the men approached her with his net. It seemed that the little thing’sedoom was sealed. Suddenly there was a fierce bark, ard the big greyhound came leaping into the crowd, scattering the small boys and compelling the catchers to take to the wagon. The hound reached the side of the spaniel, and, taking in the situation, reach- ed down, grasped his wee companion in his capacious mouth, and was off down the street like a shot. He didn’t stop for the gate, but, with a great, graceful leap, was over the fence, and then, gently depositing the spaniel on the ground, stood wagging his tail, as if knowing that he had discom- fited their enemies, while the spaniel gam- boled and mae the welkin ring with her shrill barks. If that wasn’t a great thing, I don’t know. ‘Bee stings are cured by Salvation Oil. 25c. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1896—SIXTEEN PAGES. A NOTED WAR CHAmACTER Recalled by an Auction at the Vallandigham Home. Antique Furnitere in a House That Had Been Occupied by the Same Family Since 1807. Correspondence of The Evening Star. LISBON, Ohio, October 5, 1896. Nestled among the green hills, covered with grass and dotted here and there with forest trees, les the pretty town of Lisbon, Columbiana county, second in age to Marietta, the oldest town in Ohio. A pretty little stream, Beaver creek, winds around on the south side of the town, which em- braces some 3,500 souls. It is an historic old place, and from its people have come the “fighting McCooks” of military fame; the Vallandighams, of whom Clement L. was a very prominent member, and many others. Edwin M. Stanton, President Lin- coln’s Secretary of War, argued cases within the court house walls. Mark Hanna was born and reared here, and Major Mc- Kinley’s ancestors lived here. His great- grandfather and grandfather were citizens of the town, and the major was born a few miies from’ here, and still owns a small farm in the country. His successor in Con- gress, R. W. Tayler, resides here. Among the old families who still remain in this modest city is that of the Vallan- dighars. Their mansion has been occupied by the family since 1807. But their re- moval this week marks an epoch in the history of the community, and the sale, at auction, of the home effects has proved an event of unusual interest. It was a bright autumn day last Saturday/ when the large grounds of the old mansion became the scene of that oft-saddening sight, a sale of the lares and penates of generations. Among the relics shown us by the gentle ard ladylike Mrs. Chas* H. G‘lman of Youngstown, Ohio, (a Vallandigham) was an antique plano, said to have been the first brought into Ohio. Tt was originally the property of Benjamin Hanna, Mark Han- na’s grandfather, and was purchased for $16 by her father on her sixteenth birthday. It has five and one-half octaves, is without pedals, {s ornamented with brass bands at top and bottom of the four legs, is inlaid with a Nghter wood, and bears on _an oval white porcelain plate the inscription, “New Patent, G. Astor & Co., Cornhill, London.” Its number is 237. Several antique, Inla!d tables, pieces of old chine and pewter, furniture imported from Scotland over one hundred years ago, &c., were among the articles offered to lovers of the antique. The position cccu- pied by the old piano market the spot where had stood the manly form of David McKinley, the great grandfather of Maj. McKinley, who at the mature ege of over seventy vigorous, well-spent years, had been married to his second wife, a blushing widow of about his own age. the charms of whose face were enhanced by an old-fash- foned cap. Rev. Clement Vallandigham, father of the Clement L., so noted in war times as a supposed rebel smpathizer, performed the ceremony. The Vallandighams were, on the paternal side, Huguenots; on the maternal, Scotch- Irish. They came from French Flanders, the original name being Van Landeghem. They lived near Courtrai 570 years ago, and one of them commanded a body of knights under the “Lion of Flanders” at the battle of the “Golden Spurs,” fought Lear Courtrai in 13u2. Michael Van Lan- deghem and Jane, his wife, were probably the first of the family to immigrate io America, and they settled in Stafford county, Va., in 1690. A son, Michael, re- moved to Fairfax county near Alexandria, Va, He wes the first to write the name landigham. His son, George, born in 5, crossed] the mountains to Allegheny county, Pa. He was a colonel under com- ssicn from Lerd Dunmore, and hecame famous in Indian wars and as a supporter of President Washington during the’ ‘*whis- ky insurrection.” - * Clement Vallandigham was the Presby- terian pastor in New Lisbon (now Lisbon) for thirty-two years. His fifth child, Clem- ent L., gained additional notoriety by being the democratic candidate for governor of Ohio in 1563, while he was in-Canada uf~ dergoirg u military sentence of exiteé for discouraging enlistments. He afterward served in Congress and was killed by ac- cident while handling a pistol and ex- plaining to his law partner the manner in which a homicide had ocurred in a mur- der case in which they were engaged. Thé Vallandigham family were not generally in sympathy with Clement L. in his political views. It is known that the latter sald, a short time before his death, “I never was a disuntonist,” and repeated the words with great earnestness. as Spoke From a Full Heart. From the St. Louis Republic. The Illinois Central train was half a hua- dred miles from Chicago, headed for the city, and at a little station an old farmer came abcard. He was a little weazened man, with a sensitive mouth half conceal- ed by an iron-gray beard. His ill-fitting eclcthes were evidently his most uncom- fertable best. He slid softly into a seat occupied by a grave stranger, reading a Tewspaper. Two, three times the old man turned his face toward the brown flying landscape. The stranger was struck with the troubled expression, and glanced wist- fully at his companion. The latter spoke at last with a strange hurkiness in his voice: “I am going to the city for the second time in my life,” he said, half startled by his own words. “Yes."” “Thirty years come July I went there for a wedding suit, and I am going back teday for a coffin and a shroud for the little weman that I married then. “You don’t know what it is, mister, to live ard work ‘longside a woman for thirty years, day in and 4d. out, to find her alweys patient and willing and working— and then leave her lying dead and cold with her wern-out hands crossed on her bresst. It was just a little after the turn of the night, and nobody but me was watchirg, then Mar’gie kind of woke up. “ David,’ say¥ she, ‘it’s restful—so rest- ful, and I am so tired.’ And so she went to sleep again and woke up in etermity. You know, stranger, these words of hers have set me to thinking. Poor, tired soul. I never kaew how much she neaded rest. We never thought of it while we were work- ing and skimping and saving, trying to lay up something for the children. She never had any pleasure, she never took any holidays or visited the other women. She raised the children and slopped the pigs, and milked the cows, and churned and cooked for harvest hands. I never knew or thought how she did it all with those poor crossed hands of hers. “Some folks say it won't do any good, mister, but I am going to see that she is put away in something rich. We wasn’t skimping and saving for thirty years for this, but I'm going to have the hest money can buy. She's earned it, God knows.” ———___+e+____ He Had Learned His Lesson. From @he St. Louls Republic, « A white-haired oid lady who lives in the West. End has’more reasons than: one to bless the bath tub. She has a grandson who is the apple of her eye. The little fel- lew, who has not yet rounded out his fourth summer, has been the special care and pet of his grandmother. Among the lessons she has given the promising scion of her fam- ily is that of the movements in swimming, and these lesscns he nas received in the family bath tub. “@he day last week the little chap fell into the-eistern. The terror- stricken grandmother was alone at the time, and in her fright knew not whether to run toa neighbor’s for assistance, dread- ing to leave the baby to his probable fate. But the child kept himself afloat by means of the movements learned in the bath tub. “J'm all right, grandma; I’m playing the way you told me.” This guve the lady ccurage to hasten for help, and when it was secured the brave child was still keep- ing his head above the water by means of Kis timely lessors. And now the proud grandmother smiles and talks about an ounce of preventior ee Kept Her Word. From the Cincinneti Tribune. “and yet to think that only one short summer ago,” he hissed, “you vowed to me that you would never marry for gold.” The maiden smiled with the air of one who had a Icad-pipe cinch. “So shall I not,”” she said. “His wealth 1s all in real estate.” The Honest Shakers and ¥ pers Their Cure for Dyspepsia. ee ae The shopkeeper who cheats us by lying with re- gard to the quality of bisegoods, and the grocer or the butcher who gives us phort weights, is a thief.
