remarkable fact that these two men,
having been presidents, associated
on the committee that framed the
Declaration of Independence, and
the first recognized leaders of two
great political factions of our coun-
try, died on the same day, the 4th
of July, 1896, the fiftieth anniver-
sary of the day upon which they
had contributed so much for the
welfare of their countrymen.
Charles Carroll was the only mem
Der that added his place of resi-
dence, and the reason of its being
done in this instance is somewhat
peculiar. The patriots that formed
that convention knew full well that
by their action on that day they
hazarded their lives. When Car
roll was signing some one nearhim
remarked, "he will get off; there
are so many CAROLS they will not
know which to take" "Not So"
replied he, and Immediately added,
"of Carrollton." He lived to see
all the memorable men with whom
he acted on that eventful day pass
away, and enjoyed the prosperity
of his country until 1882, when he
died in his ninety-fifth year.

The Slgners OF the Declaration of
InAeDendOnce

The following facts respecting
the personality of the illustrious
men who imperiled their property,
their liberty, and their lives by at
taohing their signatures to that in
strument which established our
national independence will be read
with interest as the centennial an-
niyerSary of the day which witnessed
the act draws near;
The thirteen States then compris-
ing the American colonies were
represented in the assemblage that
passed the measure by ffty-one
members. Thirty-seyen enjoyed the
benefits Of collegiate training,
twenty were lawyers, four were
physicians, five were clergymen,
three were farmers, and the re-
mainder were engaged in various
mercantile pursuits, except Roger
Sherman, the shoemaker, and
Benjamin Franklin, who boasted
Of being a printer, yet was a states
man and q philosopher. Benjamin
Franklin was the oldest among the
members and Edward Rutledge the
Youngest. Robert Morris was the
most opulent and was the 6nancier
of the administration, negotiating
extensive loans for the use of the
government upon his personal
credit. He died in prison, having
been incarcerated for debt o beau
tiful commentary on those laws
that made no discrimination be-
tween the honest but unfortunate
debtor and the convicted felon.
Samuel Adams was the most needy,
his impoverished condition being
we'll known. The management Of
his pecuniary affairs made it neces-
sary for him to seek a burial at the
public expense.
Josiah Bartlett was the first to
vote for the measure, and fiTst after,
President Hancock to sign the doc
ument. Two of the number, John
Adams and Thomas Jefferson, we're
subsequently presidents. 1t is a

footprint of the creature they were
searching. Early the next morning
the Captain carefully beat the
neighboring water-course, but with
out avail. AS he was sitting down
to breakfast, however, some men
brought in word that about a mile
and a half from camp the tiger had
that very night taken away one of
them out Of the midst Of their
drove of bullocks as they were
starting from their nights encamp-
ment. Instantly securing some
food and bottle of claret, the Cap
tain mounted the elephant and pur-
sued. Soon he started the monster
from the lair where he was deyour-
ing the unfortunate victim, but the
grass was so thick he could not OBJ
tain shot. All that day he held
after him, carefully tracking the
footprints through "a difficult coun-
try, and allowing him no rest. At
night the Captain slept ina tent he
had ordered on to the other river,
the CANAL. Next morning the
trail was renewed, until at length
the tiger was fairly ringed in a dense
cover of tamarisk aud jamon, sur
rounded by the river. After a brief
rest this cover was beaten out and
the indefatigable Captain obtained
two shots, which told on the tiger.
Immediately the brute turned, and
with loud roars, charged him, being
again dropped into the water
course by a shot fired within twen-
ty yards. Once more, but more
slowly, he picked himself up, when
the sportsman'S elephant being
badly handled, spun round, and,
with a loud, whirring noise, the
tiger sprang on to its back and be-
gan clawing its quarters. At
length, the elephant stopping its
frantic career for a moment, the
Captain turned round in the how
dah and, seizing the opportunity,
put the muzzle Of his rife to the
skull Of the tiger and blew it into
fifty pieces.

GEN. Santa Anna in HIS Old Age.
Onr Cinninnaki Rnnnirar

Cor. Cincinnati Enquirer.l
He lives in the City of Mexico,
in a third-rate house of two stories,
with courts of not more than twenty
feet square, the pavements out Of
repair, the whole telling the story
of poverty. He was seated upon a
much-worn sofa, attended by a
smart looking Mexican of middle
age. He complained considerably
of his wooden leg, and also of blind,
ness.
He is an old man of eighty years,
very decrepit, still in full command
of his faculties; has a good head
and face, not unlike the pictures of
Humboldt in his old age, with broad
temples and an abrupt, square nose,
and, at one time, good eyes. He
has little to say, but appeared
pleased at our visit; and, as we told
him of the four or five general Off
GERS of the Mexican war still living,
he listened with interest, but show
ed no special recognition until the
name Of Pillow was mentioned,
whom he remembered perfectly.
Over the sofa where Santa Anna
sat was the picture of beautiful
woman in the fullness of youth and
loveliness. This was his wife when
both led the fortunes of Mexico.
As we passed out the court our at
tention was called to the figure of a
woman of fifty in the window OPP
posite, in plain dress, and devoid Of
any interesting attribute. This was
she whose picture had so interested
us, Mrs, General Santa Anna.
