The Glorious Fourth.

The Glorious Fourth.
The 84th anniversary of our national in
dependence draweth near. and as vet we
have heard very little said about it, excep,
occasionally to hear one ask if anything is
to be done in Red Wing on that day. Now
it seems to us that our city is large enough,
and old enough, has inhabitants enough, and
in fact possesses every facility to make quite
celebration. if the inhabitants would only
60 to work about it in the right way
A good celebration on the Fourth, would
draw crowd in from the country, and keep
At home those who would otherwise seek
for amusement elsewhere. rs.aa
Let the fire company, the different reli
gious and secular societies, the public and
private citizens, the Red Wing Rifles
and all, join and lend their aid and patriot
ism to the effort, ard we will warrant that
the fathers Of liberty will have no reason to
complain Of the devotion Of their sons and
daughters. Will not some one move in the
matter? The time is very short.

we have good opportunity.

A Texan Opinion of sam Honston.

A Brownsville (Texas) correspondence the
New Orleans Crescent observes:
1t is an unfortunate quality of General
Houston, that he is exceedingly jealous of his
cotemporaries, which makes him liable to
sudden and grOundless emnities; and another
quality, vindictiveness, coupled with his
jealousy, makes him bitter enemy to those
whom he may dislike. These two qualities
conspiring, have set Sam Houston and most
of the great men of the State in violent OPP
position to each other, and these animosities
are seldom reconciled. He is not popular in
this State, except among certain classes, one
Of which believes that old Sam won the in
dependence of the country, and has always
been true Southern statesman. Nothing
will shake the confidence of this set in
'Houston's virtue, for they have stood by him
so long, and fought so many battles in his
cause, that it would be equal to social revo-
luton if they should ever change their senti-
ments. Another class is the German element
which is tinctured with free-soil proclivities
and supports Houston because it believes he
is opposed on principle to the institution OF
slavery. The writer of this article remem-
bers conversation held with General Hous-
ton thirteen years ago, in which the latter
stated as his belief, that Texas would ulti-
mately be abolitioni5ed through the influence
of German votes. This explains the Generals
coquetry with the so-caled Conservative
element, which is but another name for anti
slavery expansion. ~

Condition Of the British Graves in the
iSa ~ Crimea. .- ..t
"A correspondent of the London Times
writes from slebastopol in a late letter. Y d

"A correspondent of the London Times
writes from Sebastopol in late letter. " n
Our first visit was to oathcarts Hill, where
we. found the beautiful large black marble
cover on the tomb of Sir Robert Lydstone
Newman, Captain of Grenadier Guards, had
been removed by sacriligious hands, doubt
less seeking for jewelry or other articles of
value. We endeavored TO replace the cover
in its proper position, but were unable to
move It, Col. Gowen purposed having it
replaced in few days. We also found the
hinges on the gates partly hacked of, evil
IDENTIFY for the paltry value of the copper. |
also learn from Col. Gowen that there had
been previously number of shot and shell
placed over and around several of the graves
by relatives and friends who had visited the
spot these, together with the large shot sur
mounting the corners of the wall inclosing
the cemetery, and on each side of the gate,
are now oil gone. We next visited the Ar
tillery graveyard, and discovered that they
had also disturbed the tablet from the tomb
Of Capt. W. X. Allix, Aid-de-Cump TO Gen.
Sir De Lacy Evans. The walls around this
cemetery were sadly broken down. We then
proceeded to the graveyard of the Naval
Brigade, where a ghastly sight presented
ITSELF We found the slabs that covered the
grave Of Commander Lacon User Hammett
other Maiesty's ship Albion, had been turned
over, and the remains of that lamented officer
entiaely exhumed, the bones, as well as some
remaining portions of the uniform, being
scattered around the grave, which evidently
had been opened only u few days before.
1t was truly a heart sickening spectacle to
behold the last mortal remains of this brave
officer lie bleaching in the sun. Col. Gowen
assured me that on the following Sunday he
would have the remains carefully restored to
their former peaceful state, We then visited
several other grayeyards, and found them
more or less in Q. very delapidated state-the
walls broken down in many places and in
some instances SO much so that even the cat
tie have been found grazing within the in
closures. Notwithstanding however, the
mutilated and neglected state of many Of the
graves of those brave men who fell in the
Crimea, still the sincerest thanks of every
true Englishman are due to Col. Gowen for
the truly Christian and sympathizing interest
he has so disinterestedly taken in,having, en-
tirely at his own expense and trouble, already
repaired and restored many of the English
graves and cemetaries, as well as several OF
the French and Sandman, and preserved them
from violation and decay. 1t is sincerely ID
be hoped that our Government will take such
speedy and necessary measures for putting
our graveyards in proper state of repair as
to preserve from oblivion the last resting
places of so many. brave men who fell during
the Crimean campaign.

1 The BENIcIA BOYS CONTEST WITH Two HI-
BERNIANs.-A Boston paper says that while
Heenan was last in Boston he gave a SPAR
ring exhibition at the National Theater. Pass
ing through one of the streets, he saw two
Irishmen posting bills. They appeared 70
take particular pains IAN old tricky Of the
CRAFTY to cover up those announcing his enter
tainment. He watched them a little while,
after which he approached the couple Of Mi
lesians, Pointing to his now nearly obliter-
ated posters, he asked them if they had COW
cred them (the posters) up. But he did not
wait for an answer. To the first he admins
tered one of his fulletts, which dislocated
his under jaw, and with another blow in front
he sent the Irishman at least ten feet distance.
The other he took by the hair of the head,
lifting him up with one hand, and gave him
such furnishing that he was not recogniza-
BILE even by his own friends. 1t was all done
in moment, and with no apparent effort on
the part of the Benicia Boy. He then walked
into barber-shop near by and got shaved as
if nothing had happened. The friends of the
Irishmen were of course indignant, and pro-
| posed two very severe things: first to whip
| Heenan within an inch of his life and next
to make him payroundly for an assault, in
the Police Court. Neither of these was ever
| carried out.

THE FABLE OF THE FISH IN THE GREEK
CHuRoH.-A Constantinople letter-writer
says: ..ilae 40 % '"''
Easter with the Greeks and Armenians fell
on the 18th inst, week latter than the
Catholic; the festivities last three days. Then
follows the Feast of the Paaayea or Holy
Virgin, and finally the great day of Batouklee,
commemorative of the taking of Constantine
pie by the Turks in 1853. aiu wv
The fable runs, that monk being quietly
engaged that morning, in a remote quarter Of
the city, in preparing his noon-day meal,
displayed SO much incredulity on hearing
that the city was taken, as to receive o signal
rebuke from Heaven. "Whati said he, the
noble City of Constantine, our great En-
peror fallen into the hands of the ihfdel
Turk God forbid for easier would it be
for me to believe that these fish, which am
now frying, should leap, half cooked as they
are, into this pond, andswim about in the
waterP' haa a.aiihPp l5i u f3
As Just rebuke to him for thus daring to
interpret the inscrutible designs of Provi-
dence, the Drowned and sputtering fish at
once hoped out, of the pan into the water,
and there they have leaped about on every
returning anniversary down to the present
dayf A church has been erected over the
spot, the miracle is witnessed every year by
thousands, the place is called Baiouklee, BG
lotk being the Turkish word for fish.
