every State and Territory; the G. A. r.

at the pavilion. W. H. johnson, the
President Of the Day, introduced Rev. Mr..
Gascoigne as the Chaplain. Prayer, and
music by the band. Mr.. p. Bruner read
the Declaration in an excellent manner.
He prefaced the reading with the following
remarks: II have the honor and the priv
ilege of reading to you the boldest, grand
est political document that was ever given
to the world-the Declaration of Inde-
p~endence. When old England, the harpy
that makes her nest in those isles in the
of1ing of Western Europe, swooped down
with an angry eye and a startling shrek to
make the American fiedgling her prey, the
fiedgling proved an eagle, and she kept her
nest and gave to the world this immortal
Declaration. This flight of the eagle bird
is bold and original.-ED. SENTINEL
