deformity that he will "bring him on II all
Expenses are paid"-probably there is no
patriotic editor down that way to call on
the benevolent for contributions, 80 be
proposes TO draw on the congressional APP
preparation. Another has "manster OK"
which he will exhibit at his own expense,
if he can be assigned prominent place in
the main building his heart is, doubtless,
as large as his OK, but he would not object
to turning al honest penny by exhibiting
him under q canvass in the main building
at ten cents head Still another has cap
tured a wonderful eagle, regular birdofre-
dun, which he will dispose Of, only TO the
centennial commission, at remarkably
reasonable compensation. And letters of
this stamp are constantly received, requir-
ing, as we have said, the extra time of q
clerk to respond 10 them.
At the risk of repeating what every in-
telligent person might be expected, at this
late day, TO understandable which it is
perfectly evident they do Motive will say
that the exhibition Is not designed to be,
aud will not be, an old curiosity shop or
show" but that it is intended to illustrate
the highest existing development, IS well as
the best phases, of education, art, inven-
ton, science, manufactures, horticulture
and agriculture, of all the nations of the
earth; or, as the act Of congress creating
the centennial commission hath 1t, an eI-
exhibition of the natural rerOurccs Of the
country and their development, and Of
" its progress Ia those arts which benefit
mankind, in comparison with those OF
colder nations " or, as the circular of the
secretary of state to foreign ministers put
it, such a display Of the results of art and
"induslry of all nations as will serve to
"illustrate the great advance attained, and
"ihe successes achieved, in the interest of
"progross aud civilization during the Gen.
"tury which will have then closed" Such
is to be the International exhibition, and
the sooner people dssbuse themselves of
any other idea on the subject, the less will
be the disappointment.

The constitution of the United States de.

clares that the privileges of the writ of
habeas corpus shall not be suspended ex-
cept when, in cases of rebellion or inva-
sion, the public safety requires it. Hardly
q democratic convention has assembled
since 1860, without arraigniDg the republi-
can party for its supposed denial of the
privileges OF this writ, and it is yet fresh
in the memory of eli what reception was
given to the proposed "forcc BILL" of last
winter, which under certain circumstances
allowed of Its suspension yet in this year
1876, this centenary of American indie
pendence, in a time of profound peace, the
democratic committee on the Judiciary of
the house recommend that the writ of
habeas corpus, issued IN the case of Hallet
Kilbournc, shall be disregarded and dis
obeyed. What is this but suspending of
the privileges of the writ And this is
democratic regar! for the constitution, a
practical showing Of the manner in which

1t has been suggested, and the idea is
worthy Of consideration, that the village
be divided into sui able number of fire
districts and that, on the breaking out of
fire, the alarm be sounded in such way
as to denote IN what particular district it is
located. Considerable difficulty, and con-
sequent delay, was caused Sunday night
by the impossibility of properly locating
the fire, and this would all be obviated by
the plan suggested. Rutland is so widely
extended that, unless 8 fire Is far advanced,
an alarm is no Indication where the scr
vices of the fire department or citizens arc
needed, and the result Is, that rush is
generally made for Merchants row-where
we usually look for fires-and sometimes 1t
proves that they have been going from, in
stead of to, the fire. II is as easy 10 sound
the number of districts by corresponding
''toots" of the whistle as it is to strike
them on bell, and the result of such
system would be, that fire could be To-
Gated with reasonable certainty; the fire
department and citizens would know
where their services were required; and
the engines could determine, before start
ing, the place from which to take water.
The idea, as we have said, is worth think
ing Of

The Silver Bill Signed by the Pres
ident.

The president has signed the silver bill
and q certified copy will be sent from the
department Of state to the secrcsary of the
treasury. Mr.. Bristow will then instruct
Treasurer New to carry out the provisicss
of the bill, and he in turn will notify the
assistant treasurer to issue the subsidy coin
now in their keeping in the REDEEM ption of
fractional currency There are reasons
for believing that attempts will be made at
this time by counterfeiters to unload their
supplies Of fifty and twenty five cent notes
and the assistant treasurer will be warned
against receiving any.

THE CENTENNIAL PRESIDENT.
A Call for Conference Of Independent Mon.
NV Vopy mil q 1919

NEW 1ORR, April o, 1910.
Dear Sir: The widespread corruption
in our public service which has disgraced
the republic in the eyes of the world and
threatens 10 poison the vitality of our in
stiIutinns the uncertainty OF tho public
mind and of party cOuDsels es to grave
economical questions involving in great
measure the honor Of the government, the
morality of our business life and the gen.
eral well-being OF the people, and the
danger that an inordinato parry spirit may,
through the organized action of a compa-
ratively small number of men who live by
politics, succeed In overriding the most
patriotic impulses of the people and In mo-
nopolizing political power for selfish ends
seem 10 render 1t most desirable that no
effort should be spared to secure to the
popular desire for genuine reform 4 dec-
sive influence In the impending national
election.
Mindful of the fact that ihs patriotic
desire is honestly struggling for effective
expression inside of existing political or
CARNATIONS, as it is elso strong outside of
them, and believing that by all proper
means 1t should be encouraged and made to
prevail, the undersigned invite you to ,neet
them and others of like purpose, who have
Deen invited III Tue bsUle H1HnDer, III Tree
conference to consider what may be done
to prevent the national election of the cen
tennial year from becoming mere choice
of evils, and TO secure the election of men
to the highest offices of the republic whose
character and ability will supply the ext
gencies of our present situation and pro-
tect the honor Of tho American name.
Tue conference will be held in the city
of New York on the 10Th of May. You
are respectfully and urgently requested to
be present, and to communicate your &C.
ceptance of this invitation to II. g. Lodge,
esq, postofllce box 1888, New York city.

ssThe Star spangled Banner.''

# Most OF our readers are doubtless tamll-
lar with the origin OF the Star spangled
Banner"-how the patriotic Key, after
night ofdoubt and dread, a prisoner, watch
ing the bombardment Of Fort Mcllenry,
saw in the dim daylight "that our flag was
still there" and in the ftryor Of the mo-
ment he could not prevent this grand. out
burst of song-the natural thanksgiving OF
prayer and praise-,hat will live SO long as
there. is an American patriot to sing it.
But It may not be 80 voii H known ttas.+t he
honor ofputting the words to music IS due
to Lancaster.
We find in the Folio, neWsy musical
journal Of Boston, the following:
aFerdinand and Charles Durany, from
Lancaster, Pa, belonged to the dramatic
company of Holiday Street Theatre, il
Baltimore, and we're alike clever for music
and acting. Directly after Keys song was
printed, it was read aud re-read to the sol
diers eaeamped in Baltimore, until tn
whole division seemed electrified BY its pa
thetic eloquence.
HFerdinand Durany was lmportaned tc
sing it to the soldiers, and promised TO q
so, when he could adapt the words to music
He II On 4 commenced searching among
the theatrical music books, whistling tani
after tune, as be turned the pages, antii q
last he came to one called the SAnaereol
| il Heaven he soon adapted the Norda
and, by appointment, visited the soldiers
aud informed them Of his success.

i pubic, sang The Star spangled Banner

aud never was there wedding OF poetr

sSLord Won,t They be Surprised"

The following story was told by Gener-
al Slocum in speech to the Independent
Democratic Committee ia Brooklyn just
after the late election:
"A few months after was sent West
during the late war, met one ofthe most
accomplished generals that ever. wore the
American uniform-I refer to Gen. Nc
Pherson. We had been at West Point to-
gether, and this was our first meeting since
we had left the academy. In talking over
the scenes through which We had passed
since we parted 1T West Point our conver-
.sation turned upon the battle of Pittsburg
Landing, where Mcpherson acted as chief,
of staff to General Grant. Mcpherson
described to me the disasters of the first
day.of that great battle-of how he had
been compelled from hour to hour during
the whole day to be the bearer Of bad news
to his chief. It was a succession Of reyers
es from morning till night. When night
came on and it vas becoming too dark for
the enemy to continue the fight, McPher-
son rode up to Grant, who coolly said te
Bad enough, General. We have lost, /
Think, about one-half our artillery and at
least third Of the infantry. Our line IS
broken in several places, and we are push
| ed back, as you see, pretty near the bank
of the river Grant-made no reply, and
Mcpherson becoming a little impatient.
finally said to him, Well, General, under
these circumstances, what do you intend
| to do?' DO! Why, shall reform the
lines and attack them at daybreak. Lord
won't they be surprised. Grant executed
his plan to the letter. and before 8 O'Clock
next morning the enemy were flying in
every direction. Whatever may be a mans
occupation, if he meet with disaster, know
of no better motto to adopt than the words
Of General Grant; Reform the lines and
attack them again at daybreak.

railroad at Connellsyille, distance often
miles, and all without the assistance Of any
one. This being before the panicky times,
she made money sufficient to give her
good start in life. Disliking to drive
team or attend to horses, as soon as she
considered herself able, she hired driver,
but continued making the crossties with
her own hands, and between times anus

Habit,

II trust everything under Cod" said
Lord Brougham, ito habit, upon which,
in all ages, the lawgiver, as we'll as the
schoolmaster, has-mainly placed his reli-
ance; habit, which makes everything easy
and casts all difficulties upon the deviation
from wonted course. Make sobriety a
habit, and intemperance will be hateful ;
make prudence habi* and reckless pro
hieacy will be as contrary to the nature Of
the child, goown or adult. as the most afro
cious crimes are to any Of your lordshlps,
Give child the habit Of sacredly regard
ing the truth Of carefully respecting the
property Of others; Of scrupulously alb
staining from all acts Of improvidence
which can involve him in distress, and he
will just as likely think Of rushing into an
element in which he cannot breathe, as Of
lying, cheating, or swearing,
