President Arthur's Address at York.
town.

Upon this soil, one hundred years
ago, our forefathers brought to IA sue
cessful issue their heroic struggle for
independence. Here and then were
established and, we trust, made Sc
cure upon this continent for ages yet
to come that principle of government
which is the very fibre of our politi-
cal system, the sovereignty of the
people. The resentments which at
tended, and for time survived the
clash of arms, have long ceased to
animate our hearts. Ii is no feeling
of exnltation over defeated foe that
to-day we summon up a remem-
brance OF those events which have
made this holy ground whereon we
tread. Surely no such unworthy
sentiment could find harbor in our
hearts, so profoundly thrilled with
the expression of sorrow and sympa-
thy which our national bereavement
has invoked from the people OF Eng
land and their august sovereign. But
it is altogether fitting that we should
gather here TO refresh our souls with
the contemplation OF the unfaltering
patriotism, the sturdy zeal and the
sublime faith which achieved the
glorious results we now commem-
morate. So, if we learn Alright the
lesson of the hour, we shall be in
cited TO transmit 10 the generation
which shall follow the precious leg
acy which our fathers left TO us-the
love of liberty protected by law. or
that historic scene which we here
celebrate, no feature is more promi-
nent and none more touching than
the participation OF our gallant allies
from across the sea. 1t was their
p7esence which gave afresh and Wig
orous impulse to the hopes OF our
countrymen when well-nigh dis
heartened by long series OF disas-
tiers. IL was their noble and generous
aid, extended in the darkest period of
the struggle, which sped the coming
triumph. and made the final capitu-
laiion OF Yorktown possible cen.
Jury ago. To their descendants and
representatives. who are present. as
honored guests OF the nation, it is
my glad duty To offer Ia them cor
dial welcome. You have right io
share with rs III the associations which
cluster about The day when your IA
theirs fought side by side with ours
in the cause which was here crowned
with success. Aud none ofthe mem
ores awakened by this anniversary
are more grateful 10 rs than the reflee-
ton that the national friendships here
so closely cemented have outlasted
the mutations OF a changeful century.
God grant, my countrymen, that they
may every remain unshaken, and
that ever henceforth, with ourselves
and with all nations of the earth, We
may be at peace.

But few people are aware of the ex-

system. But three years ago all the
company owned was its main line
from Omaha to Ogden, a distance of
1892 miles. Since then it has been
building and buying roads right and
left. until it now owns and controls
nearly 1000 miles. II operates at
present 3,735 miles, and its managers
state that by the end OF the year $50
miles more will have been added to
the number.

The Old Controversy About Eating With
Knife
London Letter to New York Times.

London Letter to New York Times.
Another lesson which they taught us, and
which they now seem to be in q fair way
toward forgetting themselves, is that which
relates to the limitations upon the use of
the table-knife il eating. Until the Amer
leans had the enormity of the offense i'm
pressed upon them by English writer's, and
those whose manners were formed by the
English school, it is certain that they did
as the great mass of the Germans and
French new do; that is, they conveyed
food from the plate to the mouth by knife
or fork, whichever Glanced to be the most
convenient. At present, whoever puts a
knife into his or her mouth in eating is
looked upon in the older settled parts of
the United States as an ill bred person.
Judge of my surprise, when at a dinner
party composed of educated and refined
people saw them deliberately eat with
their knives. 1t is true that there was only
one article of food eaten in this way, that
is, the cheese, and when my curiosity led
me to in 'uire, found that this was the
manner in which the people here were &C.
customed to eat it. statement that has
since been confirmed to my own mind by
experience at table dhotes and private
dinners. But what constitutes the dis
tinction? If it is vulgar in the last degree
to put meat and vegetables into ones mouth
by means of a knife, by what strange table
code can it be made out that it is not equal
" unmannerly to use knife in the same
way for the purpose of eating one particular
article of food? I fear that this is but the
beginning of retrograde movement. and
that we shall before long, have the exclusive
prorogative of the fork swept wholly away.

OLD ALPH'S RATTLFR.

Snake That Contained as Many Articles
as q Variety Store.
From the Columbus (Ga) Times.
A correspondent writing from Geneva,
Ga, under date of June %, says: The
largest rattlesnake of the season was killed
near here this week by Alph Brown, an old
freedman. It measures four feet and seven
inches in length and had eleven rattles.
Alph says he has known the snake to be in
his premises for five years, but for two years
it has been missing until last week. BE
was discovered under his dwelling house
by his wife. He says she was preparing
dinner and had noticed her pet cat about
half way through burned hole in the floor,
which was his way of entering the room,
and in few moments his mewing caused
her to think he was in distress. She called
Tommie, but still he did not make his en-
trance, and the second time she took him
by the neck to pull him through, and be-
hold the monster had swallowed Toms tail
and she came near pulling both through.
Alph to help her conquer the enemy. Alph
came with his spade, but his house being

cided to try his luck with kot water. He
scalded at him for two hours without sue
cess. He then went two miles and bor-
rowed gun, raised plank in his floor and
gave him charge of fifteen buckshot, which
put an end to his rattling music. After
examining him for some time he decided
to see what he had been Teasing upon
and to his surprise he found within him a
pipe, small pair of scissors, two old knife
handles, fourteen rats and portion of his
wifes soap gsurd. Alph says he is salts
fed he planked him up fully two years ago,
He has smelled him often, but could not
find him. This is the seventeenth one he
has killed On his place in three years.

What's That?

In one of the Rhine cities a German
princeling one day seated himself at q table
in restaurant, accompanied by his aid-de-

what he had, recited that peculiar litany
which is the French corre]ative Of

whats that?" said his German high
ness.
The waiter again droped out his litany.
Hey? What's that?" said the prince
ling, insolently.
Three or four times more did the unhap-
py waiter go through his list. At Last a
Frenchman at an adjoining table, ir1itated
at such p.incely boorishness, shrugged his
shoulders significantly. His highness rose
in wrath.
"Sir!" he roared, =" do you know who I
am? Are you aware, sir, that you are in

Premiums Paid on Matrimony.

Marriage insurance is becoming as con
tagious in Pennsylvania and adjoining
states as death.bed insurance, there ID
likely to be Is much criticism of it. In
some counties the judges refuse to grant
charters to the marriage insurance compan-
les, but the parties who are refused apply
in neighboring jurisdiction and are success
ful. They readily procure charter or
license to go into the business of guaran-
teeing single young men and women one
thousand dollars, more or less, when they
marry. Soliciting agents find it very plain
sailing in the country districts, and do
considerable business among the young
women by assuring them that young men
seeking wives invariably select yonng
woman who has had business tact and
judgement enough about her to get herself
insured in time. The consequence is that the
young women pay over their hard earned
dollars and then revel in the hope that
very soon young man will come along
hunting wife; that he will select her:
that she will get 81 900 soon after her we'd

fortune will be SO very handy to have in the

forts of the last four weeks to incite as
