Bven casting an eye no further than the confines of their own State, New Yorkers will incline to agree with him. While we are by no means through investigating rough conduct fi various State departments, we have about convinced ourselves that we mean te put up with no more of it.

No. 49—A Change of Weather Led to a War of Conquest. CROWD of shivering Dutch onlookers beheld one day in the winter at spectacle in all the history of warfare— namely, a brigade of cavalry galloping out from shore to attack @ fleet of warships. The same spell of bitter weather that made this weird feat pout also started and ended a war that conquered Holland. Gen. Pichegru, a former day laborer and veteran of the American lution—had been put in command of a French army and sent against the allied English, Austrian and Dutch forces that menaced France. ¢ For six months he fought the Austrians, beating them at Fleurut, Menia, {last chasing them helter-skelter across the Rhine. ‘The war was ended. By this time late autumn had come. According to all military precedent the French should have gone into winter quarters. That was not Pichegru's way. He encamped his army in Holland and awaited the first good chance to begin his ncw war—the war against the English and the Dutch. But there seemed no possible hope for him to make headway in any campaign until spring should set in, for the English, intrenched behind Protecting miles of water, were on the far side of the Waal and the Meuse, | (a arr: Wherefore the English rested comfortably where A Stroke of they were, safe in the belief that war could not begin Luck. for several months at the earliest. The Dutch, too, similary protected, were certain there was no danger of attack. Pichegru was apparently in for a winter of inaction. ‘Then came the chance on which he had gambled his army's success— the “little cause of a big war.” A sudden cold spell gripped the Netherlands, Such weather as had seldom been known south of Russia prevailed all through Holland. Water froze solid as tron. Pichegru's chance had come. The very element that ad lately held him back from his foes now served as his ally. Marching his army across the thick ice, he fell upon the English, who were snug in their winter camps. _The half-frozen French troops attacked their British foes like wildcats, They carried all before them, thrashing the English and driving them out of the Netherlands. Another detachment was sent by Pichegru against the Dutch forces and met with like success. During this campaign in the Helder, Pichegru's cavalry regiments galloped out from shore, acrope the rough ice, and charged the Dutch fleet. Never before, even in legend or fairy story, had such a scene been on- acted as a cavalry charge aguinst @ squadron of warships, The French, | ————., musketry fire and fought hand to hand—sabre against rn cutlass—with the satlors who swarmed along the rails, Beating back the Dutch, the cavalrymen scrambled on the Ice. aboard the helpless ships and, after a flerce fight qn the decks, forced the crews to surrender. When Pichegru returned home to France his Government granted him the quaint title “Preserver of the Fatherland”—no special mention being made of the caprice of weather that had just betrayed another “fatherland” into the hands of its foes. Gesrmgrent Words You Use Incorrectly No7. OBSERVE—"Observe" means to watch intelligently, or to heed. It is grossly misused by most people, hi think “observe” Ono hears such two signers of a contract. It has not the same meaning as “person” and should not be confused with it. LL - MEL! ell—from the French “melee"—implies a confused crowd, It is incorrect to apply it toa ingle person's actions. To say rushed pell-mell into the street im plies “I rushed a confused crowd into the street.” DEPOT — The phrase ‘railroad dopot bullding that serves merely as a stopping place for trains, {s incorrect. A depot is a Place where goods are deposited for safe keeping. If a ratiroad station ts also used ag a depository for such goods the term is perhaps allowable, otherwise not. PORTION—A portion is a special part, set aside for some purpose. It cannot correctly be used to mean a part in the general sense.
