HIS {s the story of a date that should be remembered, a8 & vital moment in our history. But the story is one that Dd recalled with pride elther here or in England. ‘We were at war with Great Britain.

A’board these ships were Ge thousand British veterans, heroes of many « foreign war, men who bragged | they had pot slept under a roof in seven years. * They were commanded by Admiral Cockburn and Gen. Ross. Cotl was a dashing, excitable fighter; an odd blend of martial genius and structively mischievous schoolboy. ‘The veterans landed and at once marched on the city of Gen, Winder with about three thousand United States soldiers and capable officer, though old and easily flustered.

He mounted this grotesque tee! the head of his grinning men, the coltefriskins ‘it The unfinished Capitol (which had already cost nearly $800,000) was fired. So were the Arsenal, the President's House, the barracks, the Treas. ury Building and other structures. Ross said later that all this was deme because some one in the city fired on a flag of truce. T be true, There seems to be no authentic record of such an Cockburn was enjoying himself tremendously. Hoe led struction, howling with laughter and regaling his follow ith countless jokes. He made them spare the Patent Office, as “Some of these Yankee in- ventions may be of use to the world,” and he forbade them to burn the fail, saying: “Tt is well to leave usa snug dwelling place in case we feprotias i again.”* He called for a vote of his men as to whether the Capitol ( ing the Congressional Libfary) should be burned. A thunder of “Ayes? fettled the doom of the beautiful building. The British broke into the White House. They ate all the food there, drank the wine cellar dry, then they smashed the furniture to splinters, stale everything of value, and danced about in Mrs. Madison's ball gowns and in wall tapestries and velvet curtains. They ended the orgy by setting to the mansion. The capital city sacked and partly burned and the je dent chased off into hiding, the conquerors went back to their ships.

It defeated its object, by doubling the fierce energy wherewith United States now pursued the war.
