KOSCIUSKO.

The following desCription of the foundation
of a MOnumeot, (a hillock or mound) to the me-
mory of 4osciumo, is copied from a Cracow
paper
Never **Ms there a national festival in Poland celebrated
with greater unanimity than the day on which the Mon it merit
of the Hero of the 18th century—of him whose fame has
spread itse!f through every people of the earth—of Thaddeus
Kosciusko, was founded. Three hills, Bronislawa, Kralms,
aittl Wanda, surround the ancient chief city of the Piaste and
liigellonen,* and with the three immortal names which they
bear on their front, will the three associations, " Our God,
our Freedom, and' our Country," ever live in the hearts of
the Polish people. On the evening preceding the festival; of
a similar one to which no other people of modern Europe can
boast, the Opera, Die Frouen pun Wieliczkat was per!ormed
at the national theatre. After the "shades of Zolkiewski, of
Czarniecki, and of Sobieslii, appeared the shade of Kosciusko,
which was hailed by the spectators with the Most enthusiastic
rapture. The day of ;the festival, the ltith of October, was
such as proved the goodwill of the Lord of Heaven and of
Earth to the undertaking of the Sarmatian people. As on the
most lovely day of the spring, the sun cast his most brilliant
lustre on the picturesque shores of the Vistula. At the ap-
pointed b,tnly,al.l appioa4,-bed to the hill of Uroinsliw a, where,
at :in altar fitted for,- the criresuOny, the most solemn service
of religion was performed. The way to the hill of the hero's
grave was thronged with thousands, and the glorious days of
the Sigismunds seemed then to Have been restored. More than
19.,000 metionider the free canopy of Heaven, heard mass,
and praised t heir Creator for having granted them to live and
see such a day.

" General Paskowski then addressed them in the language
of a patriot, and exclaimed—' Nothing is dearer to man than
independence.' These words from the mouth of a brave man
beside the foundation of the monument of him who had been
the hero of independence were re-echoed from the valleys
resounding to the voice of thousands. The President of the
Senate,- Stanis;ails Wodzicke. then placed the documents pre-
pared for the solemnity in a small glass box, which was after-
wards encloseil in a tin case, and the whole then placed in an
urn of stone. Then he first threw earth upon the urn, and at
that moment all the regulations of the people ceased ; all ran
with enthusiasm towards the urn, with barrows filled with
earth, and each accounted himself happy in having it in his
power thus to bestow those last lione'ours to the great hero.
All differences of station, of rants, of belief, even of peo-
ple and of language, were forgotten: The most respectable
matrons, whose hoary locks could not fail to excite the
veneration of the youthful, seized with trembling hands
the spade ; the lay-brothers collected earth with their
.hands, in order to fill the harrows; the country people
would even have given their bodies to raise the mound. All
the students of this city exhibited the must patriotic ardour.
Generous Gertnans,who attended as spectators at the unusual
sight, captivated by the enthusiasm of the Polish people.,
seized spades and barrows, in order by their assistance to add
to the mound. The general enthusiasm was roused to its
highest pitch, when the musicians, -among 'other national
airs, played that Polacca, called Koseioarke, which all Europe
knows, and which no Pole can hear without feeling Isis heart
glow with affection for his native country. After the air—
Dombrowski, followed the MarcliTo Brothers. No
pen Can paint the scenes of this nioment.
" In the evening fireworks were lighted on the neighbour-
ing hills. At the Theatre a Lyric Piece was represented, en-
titled, The First Love of Kosciusko, for from that period
may properly be dated the commencemeht of the heroic
actions of Kosciusko."—(ilarnburgh Paper.)
