When Dom Pedro was in San Fran
cisco, recently, he attended one of Gil
more's concerts. Upon the conclusion
of the performance, the Emperor said
"Mr. Gilmore, am 40 pleased with your
music that if ever have a great exhi-
bition in Brazil, I'm determined to have
your band at it. More, I'll telegraph
instantly to Milan, instructing Carlos
Comes, the celebrated composer of my
own country, to prepare an American
Centennial hymn as a compliment to
the American people from those of Bra
zil, and want your band to perform il
in Philadelphia on the Fourth of July
Gilmore acquiesced, the Emperor sent
the telegram, and Comes has completed
the work. Gilmore has, by written con
tract, the absolute control of the musi
cal portion of the programme for the
Fourth of July, in Independence Square
Then and there this hymn will be ren
dered by band of two hundred per
formers. The chorus will comprire on,
thousand voices, and, possibly, Gilmor
will add to this number his New Yorl
chorus of ak hundred. All the muai
will be National, except one hymn
which is TO be of cosmopolitan charac

Some Solid Facts.

From the New Lexington Herald.l
At meeting of the citizens of Som
erset, held on the evening of Feb. 29th,
to consider the currency question, among
others who addressed the meeting was
Mr.. A. B. Leach. The Somerset Press
in speaking of his maiden effort" re-
marks-that il "was the only speech that
touched bottom" This is what Andy
said-we quote from the Press-"That a
great trouble with him was scarcity of
marketable productions TO sell. He had
found like his neighhors, money was
scarce, yet when he had anything to sell
he could get the cash at a pretty fair price
and seemed of the opinion if we had
enough of the staple products TO sell
that times would not be so unendura-
ble."
Commenting upon the remarks of Mr..
Leach, the Press says, .''short as it was,
Andy's speech contained an argument
which, to most men, looks vastly like a
solid fact" At the same meeting Sam
Cassel was desirous of being informed
how, in case more greenbacks were issu-
ed, the people in this neck of woods
would get share of them. To this in
quiry the Press remarks "that a practi-
cal application of Leach's idea would
reach the case"
ANOTHER SOLID FACT.
Last week Mr.. Leach took his wool to
GAINESVILLE to sell. Wool is "staple
product" for a fact, and Andy had
enough to sell, there was no scarcity of
this marketable production" to cell with
him,-more interesting and solid facts.
He was offered the Every fair price" of
ttcenty cents per pound for bis crop-the
solidest fact of all.
Now will our brother of the Press,
with his philosophy, Andy with his
solid facts, and Sam Cassel with his in
quiries meet and turn fact and philoso-
phv and inquiry over and see what can
| be made out of the situation. We are
after facts and solid facts, and believe as
Capt. Ashbrook did at the meeting, that
'something's wrong somewhere" and
that Andy's later experience in selling
wool as we'll as his modern effort at
speech making has touched bottom"

Written at me request OF me IOD11ttucc on OCdt
Music, Jor the Celebration Of the Fourth Of July,
1876, at Somerset.
One hundred years ago to-day,
Along the chafed Atlantic's shore,
a noble few, thou b dread the way,
Cast of the calling yoke they wore,
And, Iaunch'd in battles laundering car,
Took Freedom for their guiding star.
Cower'd they pale beneath the gloom
That loom i Tartarean 'gainst the sky!
Say, did they fear the martyrs doom'
Or for their youthful land to die?
All, nol they vOw'd their attest breath
To Liberty-or glorious death.
But what did all those heroes dare
Avail, though striving to be free?
Behold their meed-a Country fair,
That, smiling, spreads from sea to sea-
Great Sister States.-sublime they stand
Each in herself empire-land-
".
O. little deemed those valiant men,
Whose arms defied the Ocean Queen,
That o'er their brOws they braided then
Fame's laurel-wreaths forever green,-
That their dear Land, in war and peace.
Should grander grow than Rome or Greece!
Though twice since then War couch'd his spear
And menaeed fierce our Nations heart,
Her free-born sons, who scorn'd to fear,
Embraced themselves the ruthless dart,
And smiled, because above their grave
They knew the Stars and Stripes should wave
VI.
Yes, e'en though trials held in store
Shall haply cause full bitter tears,
Our Land shall prosper more and more
For many a famous hundred years.
A sun whose radiant locks unfurl'd
Shall light fair Progress through the world.
VII.
Home of the Free! for thee we feel
Both Spartan love, Athenian pride;
And doubly now, while peal on peal
Mirth calls to Pleasure far and wide:
From East to West is heard the song
From North to South it rolls along
VIII.
Realm of the Brave mid carnage tried,
Land of the Fair with beauty dower'd,
May Heavens bright smile on thee abide,
With wreaths of blessings ever shOwer'di
Home that we love! IT'S great to be,
Though lowly, born child of thee!

A New ENEMY OF THE CORN CROP.
The Reading (Pa.) Times says: "A
new enemy to the growing crop of corn
has been discovered this spring, which
is committing considerable destruction
in some sections Of the country. 1t il q
peculiar black worm which can scarcely
be crushed on the loose earth, as il is
encased in suit of armor difficult to
break. They operate in the corn hills
by eating off the young plants. As ma
ny as ten or twelve worms are found in
one hill The cut worm has hitherto
been a great annoyance, but this new
pest is said to be even more destructive
In some townships farmers are busy re-
planting corn fields that have been thus
devastated. Paris green has been found
to be as efficacious in exterminating thes'
worms as il ia in destroying the potato
bug. Powdered white hellebore is sait
to be very efficacious."

Desperate Fight with Robbers
Brave Young Man.

As Master Flagg Carlisle, lad of fif-
teen years, son of Maj. B. Carlisle, of
Greenfield township, was returning home
from Lancaster, about eight O'Clock on
Saturday evening last. he met a man on
the Hooking bridge about three hundred
yards west of the iron bridge over the
canal, on Lundy's Lane who interrogat>
ed him as to whether he had seen a horse
with chain fastened to his foot. Flagg
replied that he had not. The question
WAS again asked by the unknown villain,
and again answered, with more emphasis,
in the negative; whereupon Flagg drove
on caEelessly until he came opposite to a
large maple stump. about three hundred
yards west of the Hooking bridge, from
scoundrel, with murder in his heart and
a knife in his hand, jumped and seized
hold Of his horses bin, at the same time
peremptorily demanding Flagg's cur
rency Flagg was unable to see that he
was in any way indebted, in financial
point of view, to the would be Dick
Turpin, and as peremptorily refused to
hand over the twenty-five cent shinny
he then had in his vest pocket, and at
the same time demanded him TO let go
his horses head, which the villain refus-
ed to do, and again demanded Flagg's
currency. Flagg saw that he was in for
it, and on looking back saw the robber S
accomplice start from the Hooking
bridge toward him, and with tiger ike
| ferceness and Spartan courage he leaped
out of his buggy and instantly attacked
the villainous coward. Flagg forced
the fighting, and after lively and ex-
citing scuffie of few seconds he sue
ceeded in putting well ll-directed, Sam
sonian, sledge- hammer blow from his fist
on the nasal organ, or thereabouts, OF
the would-be hI2hwayman, which spread
| him over about a rod square of mother
earth-just in time, however, to jump
into his buggy and make good his escape
from the villains accomplice, who was
| but a couple rods from him at the time
He left them to all the glory they had
gained, and carried victory and his TWEEN
ty-fve cent shinny home with him.
On arriving at home he soon discover
ed that the murderous scoundrel had in
flicted five distinct cuts aimed at differ
ent parts of his person, none, however
doing him any damage except a cash OF
the thick part of the hand, ahou' on'
and half inches long. HIS heavy win
ter clothing served az an armor TO hin
and undoubtedly saved his life, as sever
al of the cuts were from three to eigh
inches long, passing through his Goa
and vest, though, prSvidentially, leav
ing the boy unharmed.-[Ohio Eagle.
