NEW JERSEY AND THE CENTENARY
CELEBRATION,

From, the Trenton State Gazette
The suggestion of our South Jersey corre-
spondent in regard to the course to be pur-
sued by this State in reference to the cele-
bration of the centenary of American inde-
pendence has been received with great favor
by all classes of our citizens, and is likely to
awaken deep interest in the subject in other
parts of the country. 1t is certainly meet
that New Jersey, whose part in the struggle
Tor independence was second, in the greatness
of her sacrifices and the glory of her arms, to
no State in the Union, should take a promi-
nent part in the coming celebration of the
success that crowned that grand effort. If the
suggestion of our correspondent is promptly
responded to, she may take leading part in
that great and glorious occasion. We have
received another letter from our correspond
ent, not intended for publication, in which
he says:-"As we of New Jersey, through our
Legislature, set precedent which has been
followed by number of States, why cannot
we carry this proposition through and make
1t precedent for our sister States If so,
we insure the grandest exhibition ever held
by the human family. Start the movement
in Trenton. Make Mr.. Whitehead, of the
First National Bank, treasurer for the State.
l have no doubt that can send one hun
dred names as subscribers to the fund from
this section within six months. If we can
carry the matter through, it will be new
laurel for our Commonwealth. Such an es-
tablishment, managed by some of our learned
men, like Professor Cook, of Rutgers, would
add much TO our pleasure and credit upon
that great OCCASION" We understand that
Mr.. Whitehead consents to act as the custo-
dian of such a fund as it is proposed to raise,
and we trust that patriotic and wealthy Jersey
men will emulate each other in their prompt
ness to respond. The proposition is that a
thousand persons shall contribute twenty
dollars year for five years, to create fund
to enable the State to be suitably represented
in the celebration. Have we a thousand such
patriotic Jerseymen? Let the answer be sent
in the shape of the first $40 to Mr.. Charles
Whitehead Cashier of the First National
Bank of this city.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1871-05-17

perial areas to be made productive; the popu-
lations to be established in happy homes of
successful industry; the era of new human
experiences to be proven, give to this advance
the character of great forward movement
of our race-a peaceful conquest, momentous
as the grandest triumphs ever achieved by
war. The stars in their courses are with us,
and we bear the best hopes Of humanity.

MEMPHIS TENNESSEE: SATURDAY EVENING NOVEMBER 25 1871

Grand Duke accompanied his uncle, the
Grand Duke Constantine, on voyage
Of inspection to Sweaborg and thus had
his first experience Of the perils Of sea
faring life During the voyage there
was a terrific storm Of several hours du-
ration, but the boy voyager was undis'
mayed, and no amount Of persuasion
could induce aim to retire to his state
room. The life Of sailor had become
so attractive to him that on returning TO
st. Petersburg he anxiously besought
his father to permit his entering the
naval service The Emperor, however,
declined to accede to the request, con-
sidering his son of too delicate consti-
tuition to undergo the hardships which
are incidental TO life on the ocean, but
afterwards yielded so far as to give him
the position of Inspector OF the Russian
war vessels stationed in the ports Of
Finland. Since that time he has be.
come fairly enrolled in the navy of his
country, and in the capacity Of First
Lieutenant on the frigate Svetlana, he
visits the United States for the first time
1t is thought in Europe that the Grand
Duke Alexis will marry the Princess
Mary Elizabeth, eldest daughter of
Prince Frederick Charles Of Prussia,
and the Princess Mary Of Anholt 1t
is probable that their betrothal will soon
be officially announced The Princess
is in her sixteenth wear.
