UPR1eur NES.-We love upright
men. Pun them this way, and that
way, and they only bend, they never
break. Trip them down, and in a trice
they are on their feet again. Bury them
il the mud, and in an hour they would
be out and bright. You cannot keep
them down, you cannot destroy Them
They arc the salt of the earth. Who
but they start any noble project? They
build cur cities, whiten the ocean with
their sails, and blacken the heavens with
sia snsoke of their cars. Look 10 them,
yoans men, and catch the spark Of their
energy

der the influence Of Lord Radcliffe, to be
incorporated the articles of peace, as in
its view they are internal matters with which
foreign powers have no proper concern. So,
too, it refuses to suffer any diminution of
the Sultan's sovereign rights in the Princi-
Ipalities, and these two points the Turkish
Plenipotentiary at Paris has been directed
to insist upon.
It is not probable, however, that the
wishes of Turkey in these matters will be
allowed by the Allies, and that unfortunate
power will probably find in appealing to the
Allies against Russia, she has only changed
masters, and that while her degradation may
not be so deep as would have followed the
triumph of the latter power, yet her sub
mission will not be less inexorably required.

467 and require yet $sO4,332 to complete
them.
Forts Washington, ON the Potomac, and
Severn and Madison, at Annapolis, mount
in all 1873 guns. They have cost 1896, s53.
The first two are completed; the last re-
quires yet an expenditure of $50, 900.
There are two forts prepared in part for
the defence of Baltimore Carroll and Nc
Henry. They mount 233 guns, have cost
1921 ,663, and require an outlay of 1866,

DEATH OF SoN OF MOLLY PITCHER
The Carlisle Democrat notices the death in
that place, on Thursday of last week, of
Sergeant John L. Hays, an old resident of
Carlisle, and soldier of the war of 1912.
Serg't Hays was born on the day of the bat
tie of Lexington, and was consequently IS
years of age. He was the son Of the cele-
brated Molly Pitcher, who distinguished
herself at the battle of Monmouth, and of
whom Headly, in his ''Life of Washington, %
gives the following account:
It was during this part of the battle,
(when Gen. Lee was struggling nobly "a
gainst the overwhelming numbers that
pressed on him. that an Irishman, while
serving his gun, was shot down. His wife,
named Molly, only twenty-five years ofage,
employed herself while he loaded and fired
his piece, in bringing water from clear
spring near by. While returning with a
supply she saw him fall, and heard the Of
ficer in command order the gun to be taken
to the rear She Immediately ran forward,
seized the hammer, declaring that she would
avenge his death. She fought her piece like
a hero to the last.
The next morning, Greene, who had been
struck with her bravery, presented her to
Washington, who Immediately promoted her
to sergeant, and afterwards put her name
on the half-pay list for life Previous to
this she fired the last gun when the Ameri-
cans were driven from Fort Montgomery.
At the close of the Revolution, Molly
Pitcher took up her residence in Carlisle,
where she was known as Molly McCauley.
She lived to an advanced age, much respec-
ted by ALL and was buried with military
honQrs.

BIRTH DAY OF HENRY CLAY.-The bird,

BIRTH DAY OF HENRY CLAY.-Ihe blr4
day of this illustrious statesman was mark
ed on Saturday with more than the usua
degree of observance which has been TEN
dered to it of late years. A celebration
took place in Hanover county Virginia
which attracted large and distinguished
attendance. In New York the Clay Asso,
citation celebrated the day with unusual de-
monstrations of respect. At New Orleans
the cornerstone of a monument to the me.
mory of Mr.. Clay was to be laid, and tile
occasion celebrated with all the observances
of honor and respect due the character d
the patriot. In Baltimore city the Counch
by unanimous vote ordered the national
flag to be displayed from the City Hall dq-
ring the day. r

TOBACCO SCARCE IN VIRGINIA. A large
manufacturer of tobacco in Danville, Va,
states that his hands, numbering three hun
dred, are unemployed now, it being impos-
sible to get tobacco for them, in conse-
quence of the dryness Of the season. The
Richmond Despatch says that the amount Of
tobacco brought to that city is unusually
small owing to this fact,

The New York Courier reviews the pro,
poets for breadstufs, as follows -''The do
cline of breadstuffs in the English and
French markets has discouraged shippers
here, and unless the next news proves mots
favorable the exports will be confined to
Cotton and Provisions, and Foreign Ex-
changes will again be scarce. This unfa-
vorable turn is very inconvenient at the
present moment, when importers have to re-
nit for their large purchases of foreign dry
goods. The repeal or prohibition of ex.
port from the italian markets, it seems, has
greatly depressed prices Of breadstufs in the
French markets, while from other sources
