In Ireland they were not a first family. Neither : M were they a first family in New York until they made themselves so by force of conscience and ability. * When the Revolutionary war began George Clinton was a resident of Ulster County. When New York and the twelve other colonies de- clared their independence from Great Britain and the first State consti- tution was adopted in 1777 George Clinton was elected Governor. He Was a major-general in the Revolutionary army, and the cemetery of Kingston, to which his body is now taken, holds also the remains of seven of his colonels. He continued to be Governor until 1795. He was Governor \again fn 1801, and in 1804 was elected Vice-President of the United States, re-elected In 1808 and died in Washington, where he was buried. He was the first Vice-President to be elected after the United States Constitution was amended to make that office separately voted for. The force which made the revolution successful was men Ike George Clinton. The old English families were almost all Tories. New York City had a Tory majority. Westchester County was Tory.

After the evacuation by the British army the emigration from New York and Boston to Halifax! and England included the major part of the wealth and fashion of the | community. The honored colonial names are found now more in Nova Scotia than in the cities of their ancestors. The Revolution was largely fought and won by the Irish, Dutch and German immigranis and their children, many of whom had immi- rated through religious, social and economic oppression, It should not he forgotten that the religious oppression of those days ‘was not Protestant or Catholic, but denominational. The majority of the members of the first St. Patrick’s Society were Protestants, Many of the Irish immigrants were Protestants. t The soldiers of the Revolution from New York did not come from the centres of wealth and social prominence, but from the Hudson and | the Mohawk Valleys, where the poor immigrants had settled and where the people of English descent were few. With the exception of Virginia and Massachusetts it is doubtful twhether the Declaration of Inde- pendence could have been carried by a popular vote in any of the thirteen colonies. The merchants, the importers, the professional class- es, the financial powers and the so- cial magnates, almost all had such ties of money, family and business { with England as to be opposed to a separation.

A Boy’s Fight with Fate, ? Twentieth President (1881-1881), stockily built Terhune large head, brown hair and beard. Blue eyes, lung, straight nose. High, broad forehead. | gp SIXTEEN-YEAR-OLD farm boy in 18#7 read “The Pirate's Own A Book.” It filled him with a yearning to go to sea. | As he lived in Ohio there was no ocean near at hand. So he did the next best thing. He took a job as tow boy on a canalboat at $12 a month. While he did not capture any Spanish galleons nor find a chance | to holst the black flag on this “sea” voyage, he had plenty of adventures of a sort. He had several hot fist fishts, knocked out a stalwart deckhand who tried to bully him: and, by actual connt, fell overboard fourteen times. Then he fell 11 with malaria and threw over his position. Thus ended James Abram Garfield's brief naval career. An {Ilness had inter- yened to lead him (o the Presidency of his country instead of to the cap- taincy of a canalboat. Garfield was the son of a New Englander who had emigrated to the Ohfo wilderness, built a hut there, started a farm and died, leaving his widow wih four little children, of whom the elghteen-months-old James was the youngest. The lad grew up in poverty; working hard as a farm- | hand, going to school when he couid and reading every book within his reach. The fitst considerable sum of money he earned was $25 for cutting 200 cords of wood f Killed him; but he | stuck to it. Then came his experience. He next worked his way | through high school and afté or so considered himself competent !to be a teacher. There was a wretched educational system in those days, Almost any one who had mastered an ordinary school course thought he could teach. More incompetent teachers were at large in the Middle West ‘alone than pro‘ably can now be found on the whole continent Garfield tramped his feet sore looking for a school to teach.

It was not % | very desirable chance. In fact, Garfield got the place because no one else wanted It. Tor two years the school had becn regularly broken up, and every teacher thrashed and driven away by the’ ) big boys. Garfield's first appearance {n the schoolroom was the signal for & riot. He quickiy p'cked out the school bully, a aulkins giant of a fellow, and proceeded to thrash him. The bully snatched up a club of firewood and tried to smash Garfield's skull. A lively hand-to-hand fight followed. In the mix-up the schoclroom was pretty well wrecked. But Garfield was victorious. The bully was cowed into submission and the other boys grew to worship this young teacher who could hold his own against such a foe, From that time the school was a model for the whole district. The salary, was only $12 a month and board. So, nineteen, Garfield went to high 901 to prepare himself for some better work in life. At this time he joined the bellite Church and became henceforth all religious mover s of his denomination.
