CELEBRATION OF THE 4TH OF JULY IN IVY

For the Standard.
CELEBRATION OF THE 4TH OF JULY IN IVY.
According to previous notice, large number of
the citizens of Madison county assembled themselves
together at the French Broad Baptist Institute, on
the 4th instant to celebrate the Slst anniversary of
our national independence. Such an assemblage of
persons OF all ages and sexes, has rarely been wit
messed in Western North Carolina, numbering very
nearly 1000 persons.
The first order of exercises was the appointment
of officers, &C., of the day. Whereupon, Dr. John
Yancy was appointed President, w. A. G. Brown
and j. w. Anderson Vice Presidents, and w. A.
Patterson and p Rawiins Secretaries.
A procession, with full band of music, and colors
flying, was then formed, and marched to a conven-
lent place assigned for the speaking The President
then rose and led off in most appropriate address,
which was followed by the reading of the Declara-
ton of Independence by VIM. Brown, and then fol.
lowed addresses from j. H. Wild, Thos D. Carter
and John McEroy, Esqrs. The speakers all did
themselves much credit, as was evidenced by the
strict attention the audience gave throughout Not
withstanding the Gay was SO unpropitious, raining
at intervals of every hour the whole crowd remained
to the close of the last exercises
1t was the intention land so made known in the
early part of the day. after the speaking was over
read and drink some general and volunteer toasts
but owing to very hard rain coming up in the eve
ming, we had to abandon it. The President, how
ever, rose and said that he could not let the
sion pass without giving one sediment which he had
prepared for the ladies, and God bless them, he
would read it to them before separating:
Voman:"
Without our hopes. without our fears,
Wtnout the home that plighted love endears
Without the smile from partial beauty won,
Say, what were man Ia world without a SUM-
Ard thus ended the 4th day of july. 1887. Long
may it be remembered throughout the county Of
Madison.

ENGLISH MASNERs.-I find an Englishman to be
him of all men who stands frmest in his shoes.
They have in themselves what they value in their
horses, mettle and bottom. On the day Of my ar
rival at Liverpool, gentleman in describing to me
the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, happened to say,
"Lord Clarendon has pluck like cock, and will
fight till he dies" and what 1 heard first | heard
last; and the thing the English value is pluck
The cabmen have it; the merchants have it; the
bishops have it; the Journals have it; the Times
newspaper, they say, is the pluckiest thing in
England and Sydney Smith had made it proverb
that little Lord John Russell, the minister, would
take command Of the channel fleet Tomorrow.
1t requires men say, good constitution to travel
in Spain. l say as much of England, for other
causes, simply on account of the vigor and Drawn
of the people. Nothing but the most serious bust
ness could give any one a counterweght to these
Baresharks, though they were only to order eggs
and muffin for their breakfast. The Englishman
speaks with all his body His elocution is stomach
ic, as the Americans is labal.
The Englishman is very petulant and precise
about his accommodation at inns and on the roads {;
quibhler about his toast and his chop, and every
species of convenience, and loud and pungent in
his expressions of impotence at any neglect. His
vivacity betrays itself, at all points, in his manners,
in his respiration and the inarticuate noises he
makes in clearing his throat all significant of bury
strength.
The vigor appears in the incurosty and stony
neglect, each of the other. Each man walks, eats
drinks, shaves, dresses, gestculates, and in every
manner acts and suffers without reference to the
bystanders, in his own fashion, only careful not to
interfere with them annoy them not tina. he is
trained to neglect the eyes of his neighbours; he is
really occupied with his own affairs, and does not
think of them. In Short every one of these island
ers is an island himself, safe, tranquil incommun-
cable. In a company of strangers you would think
him deaf; his eyes never wander from his table
and newspaper Introductions are sacraments. He
withholds his name. At the hotel he is hardly
willing to whisper it to the clerk the book Office
II ne gives you his private address on card, it is
like an avowal of friendship; and his Bearing on
being introduced to you is cold, even though he is
seeking your acquaintance, and is studying how he
shall serve you. Emerson's EngIish Traits.

as it may be, he must know and feel that it was
just. While he was Iaboring under this conviction
he stumbled along until he had consumed his hour
and half in trying to bolster up and support
sinking cause by pleading the statue of limitations
on his broken promises, and endeavoring to justify
his course by saying that others had done the same
things. Mr.. P. was evidently well pleased when his
time come to quit. for he seemed much better pleas
ed with the chance of quitting than that Of begin
ming. He then thanked the people for their atten-
ton; said he should probably never address them
sgain-and he may truly say have taken my leave
for ever.
According to the arrangements made between
these gentlemen Mr.. Scales here had the reply lot
half an hour. He again resumed the stand reviewed
all the points that Mr.. P. had attempted to make

Democracy was right; that Know Nothlng'sm was
wrong that the Democratic party was the only ma,
tiona party in existence that the perpetulty OF
this great Union of ours, well as all its past sue
cess, depends on Democratic administration OF the
government. Having hemmed in his competitor,
Mr.. S. held him up to the pubc gaze for few mo-
ments He then proceeded to lay him on the coun-
ter as spurious and unworthy coin, where you may
depend upon it the people will nail him in August

EATING ORANGE PEEL.-We learn that little son
OF Robt. Oliver of this city about five years of age
is now lying in very critical condition from the eff
feet OF eating orange peel Monday last. Parents
cannot be too cautious in keeping orange peel from
their children, as it contains active poisonous OIL
which in many cases has caused the deaths of per-
sons who indiserectly made use of them. Life is
Jeopardized every time the rind is taken into the
stomach.

OUR MARKET HoUsE.-When will
this eye sore, and dangerous frame be re-
moved. 1t is fact, that defes all con-
tradiction, that it is dangerous for persons
to walk through it. A few days ago as
a gentleman well know in our community
was passing through it, portion of the
plastering fell upon him, which, as good
luck would haveit, only soiled his dress.
We call upon our Councils to attend to
this matter.
