For Liberty to fight,
 And keep her honor bright, Preserving for the right

Col. Charles M. Joyslyn, judge advocate of the battalion. delivered the address of the day, the effort bsiag Tn all respects an earnest and manly tribute to the memory of Hale. There is in the life of every man, said Col. Joslyn, some trait of character that stands out clear and distinct above all others. As re-read the story of Nathan Hale there comes to me as the key stone of his character, the brightest jewel of his life, aaa unse!fsh, umsaoerUin9 conscientious loyalty to duty.
 The review of the patriot martyrs life, hls year of service in the Continental Army, and the tragedy of his death was eloquent throughout and listened to with eager atten- tion. Col. Joslyn concluded his address as follows:
 Thus briefly comrades have sketched the life of Nathan Hale, @ life which in my judgment has known. England sent an embassy across the At lantic and craved the remains of Andre that they might rest in Westminster Abbey with the ashes oi comparisons were often made. Let me draw one contrast: What have ysu to say, was inquired % pra1e man." What have I T you a to aays was grufly asked of Hale II regret have but one life to ass s hs sHss ssd
  reputation. The other the voice of the Christian patriot thinking only of his country and his God.
 Yet outside of the place of his birth, little is known of the grand, sweet life of Nathan Hale To those who joined in erecting this cenotaph to his memory, especially te the indefatgable efforts of that worthy citizen of Coventry whose life went out few months ago, and to that brilliant scnoal who has gathered together all the facts obtainabe owes debt of gratitude. Republics are ungrate full but time rights all things. The Roman senti nel at Pompeii stood at his post while the ashes ashes his devotion, but when. eighteen centuries after s ha @ Wsrs a% i hs stw sror and with his spear clasped in his ebony fingers a but it came at last. And for ali coming time the | Roman sentinel at Pompeii will stand as the synonym of fidelity to duty.
 And methinks when in the coming centuries | there shall be gathered together the names of al l those who by reason ofunselfsh, unswerving, con
 scientious loyalty to duty, are entitled to eterna
 honor, there will be found with the few among tho | foremost, the name of the patriot hero and th' l martyr spy, Nathan Hale.

Our amiable cousins across the water will begin 10 lose some of their concelt. First Parole carried off three trophies on the turf. then Hsnlan beat Hawdon and FL liott. their champion oarsmen. and now Weston wins back the champions belt which Rovell took over with him. by the best score on record, having covered $50 miles in six days with five minutes to spare. He thus wins net snly the belt, but $2, 300 entrance money, Sir John Astley's bet of $2, 500 that he would not cover the $50 miles in SIX days and one-half the gate money. His competitors were H. Brown ("Blowsr") of Turnham Green, England, John Ennis, Chicago and R. Harding, Blackwell, England. Brown was the favor- ite at 6 to 4. Weston was not thought of except by those who wanted to bet 10 to l he would not win. Ennis broke down early in the race. Browu led until Thursday, when Weston took the lead and maintained it to the end.

Death of Napoleon NV.

The report of the death of Prince Napo- leon, which was at first suppressed to be a canard, seems to be officially confirmed in London. The circumstances attending his death are somewhat singular. In the first place it is rather strange that the heir ap- parent of the Napoleonic Dynasty, whose accession to the throne of a mighty Empire was in all probability mere question of time, should ge on bushwhacklng expedi- tion against lot of poor miserable savages in the jungles ot South Africa, in which nobody was very likely to gain much glory it is strange that reconnaissance should be undertaken in hostile country, ten miles to the front, by a small party, consisting of . lieutenant and six men without any sup port, and that the Prince should accompany such queer expedition. And stranger still it is that such party under such Cireum- stances should halt in cornfield. dismount and actually unstable and tie their horses. It seems too improbable to be true. But if 1t should turn out that the facts are correct
 
 raise a suspicion that one of the principal objects of the expedition was to get the Prince out to the fropt and have him meet the very fate which overlook him. The Prince was young (only 23) ard was no doubt very anxious to do something to dis tinguish himself and excite the admiration of the French people, but it does not seem probable that he would have done what un der the circumstances, as reported, appears simply ridiculous.
 His death is 8 political event of no incon siderable importance in Europe. M. Reu ben, the chief of the Imperialists ID France. is said to have exclaimed ''that the hand of God had evidently taken away the last hope of the restoration ofthe Napoleonic regime. " It will undoubtedly greatly weaken it's hold on the French people and greatly strength en the Republic. The next iu succession is Prince Jerome Napoleon, nicknamed "Plon Plon." He has always professed to be 6 Republican and is said to be very un- popular with the French. He married Clo- tilde. daughter of the late Victor Emanuel of Italy and has two sons. The elder, Ma poleon Victor, is now about l7 years of age and it is snid that the Imperialist party, with the consent of his Father, will probs- bly, adopt him as the head of the house and heir to the throne of the Empire as Napole- OnV.

Cleopatra,s Needle.

About two yeare ago the New York World preached the proposition to purchase the companion of the obelisk which was successfully removed to London and now stands on the banks of the Thames, fer New York City. But little attention was paid to matter at the time and it was we'll nigh forgotten. Last week, however, the World surprised its readers with the announcement that the purchase is an accomplished fact. It says that negotiations with the Khedive have been brought to 8 successful termination and that he has officially notified the State Department at Washington that the obeiisk may be taken away and removed to New York. These obelisks are seventy feet high and are solid blocks of rose-colored syenite, something like the Scotch granite. They are covered with Egyptian hieroglyphics and are supposed to date back to the time of Thothmes III, about 1900 B. C.-his name appearing on the one in London. They were first set up at Heliopolis, in front of the temple of the Setting Sun. and thence removed to Alexandria, about the time of Cleopatra-whence the name, "Cleopatra's Needles" The learned differ in regard to their meaning. Pliny supposed them to be symbols of the suns rays: oth . CT writers have identified them with Jachin and Bozz of Solomsn's Temple. The World is in favor of leveling off Reservoir Square and setting up the obelisk there, while the Sun thinks it should be placed on Printing House Square. ,WhereYeri it may be located it will be nice thing for New York and one of the chief objects of attraction in the Metropolis. And yet it seems like great piece of vandalism to despoil the Old World of these venerable monuments of antIoui. ty-sacred almost with the dust of centur- ies, and carry them off thousands of miles to strange lands, strange peoples and strange scenes It seems almost akln to Iobbing a grave yard of it's old moss-covered tomb stones and exposing them in the highways and by-ways to the vulgar gaze of idle cu- siosity.

knoll from whose top a picturesque land- scape unfolds itself, To the north lays the lower half of Canaan Valley, with range . of hills on the east, along whose sides the rugged road is traced by the white and brown farm houses. To the south is Hunts furnace. The ugly coal sheds and furnace buildings are hidden by the trees, reveal ing only the red and white tenement cot. tages rising above each other on Q hill like the plan of terrace. Here the strip of road disappears into the valley, raising it. self two miles beyond, up the sides of q steep hill, losing itself again in a turn at the top which is called Cape Hsrn. where on the stillest day breeze is ever blow ing. -ts2f
 From all these points the traveler's eye searching the landscape cannot fail to descry this knoll, seclusive to the dead. No peculiar piece of art, no expensive shaft calls for more than careless glance. Rich and poor, all slumber with but plain white slab above the mound to tell its story. No fence, no enclosure in any part divides the mounds, as if to separate dnat from dust, as if 10 draw the line hereafter which so many have drawn in llfe, forget. ful that there's no difference there. Few are the uu-numbered mounds. Two of these in the center of the yard are jealous | ly guarded from careless step by the pro- | tecting branches of the dark leaved lilac bushes. Just beyond these is mound with simple slab, bearing these inserip- | tions: ...a zss...... To the memory of

 More than thirty years ago this coupls lived in brown house on Canaan monn- tain. A large family of children had. been raised by them and sent out into the,world to battle with life's work and now in the winter of their life the joys and sorrows of the passing seasons were shared alone. She for nearly, and he for quite hundred years, had watched the passing of the Christmas morn. Thus on the dawn of another Christmas eve., memory, their chef entertainer, led them stlll further from the present, with many reminis- | ceuce of the past.
