"Addic wapine ende een pard,
In gaeft niet om een conincrike."
"Had I weapons and a horse,
I would not give them for a kingdom."

Weight of American Revolutionary Officers.—On the 10th of August, 1778, the American officers at West Point were weighed, with the following result:
| Lbs. | |
| Gen. Washington | 209 |
| Gen. Lincoln | 224 |
| Gen. Knox | 280 |
| Gen. Huntingdon | 182 |
| Gen. Greaton | 166 |
| Col. Swift | 319 |
| Col. Michael Jackson | 252 |
| Col. Henry Jackson | 238 |
| Lt.-Col. Huntingdon | 212 |
| Lieut.-Col. Cobb | 182 |
| Lt.-Col. Humphreys | 221 |
Only three of the eleven weighed less than two hundred pounds,—a result which does not confirm the Abbé Raynal's theory of the deterioration of mankind in America.
