True Patriotism.

From the Galveston Print.
II is a common remark in these days OF
political corruption, that true patriotism can
rarely be found in the United States, and we
are afraid to admit the truth Of such remarks
There is patriotism, but when the term true
patriotism is used in the sense in which it was
understood far back in the history Of our gov
eminent, it is that spirit which inspired the
people Of the colonies in 1916 to quit the plow
and the mill and 60 to the tented fields to do
battle for the cause of freedom, armed with
common rifles in the face of proud foe and
and the soldiers of a nation whose empire
extended from sun to sun. That patriotism
which nerved and animated the farmers Of
New England to stand upon the summit Of
Bunker Hill in the face of grand army o.
veteran soldiers until forced to quit the field
when their ammunition had been exhausted.
1t was true patriotism that caused these same
citizen soldiers to follow the flag which they
had adopted, half armed, bareiooted and
often half clothed, for seven long years, fight
ing the battles Of a country which was unable
W pay NnSlhs Inns was SullbhNSuSu paulO-
tism, because the patriotic fathers had count
ed up the cost before engaging in the unequal
contest. The heroism of Leonidas and his
800 SPartans has been perpetuated in song and
their grand struggle at Thermopyle has
caused their memories to be canonized by all
the civilized nations Of the earth, snd they
were deserving Of it, yet their sacrifice was not
so much the result OF patriotism as a blind
superstitious heroism. They fought and fell
at time in the history Of the world when men
would sometimes court death upon the battle
field in order that their names might be hon
ored by their countrymen, besides Leonidas
and his band belonged to a nation that would
never receive soldiers who had left the battle
field in order to escape death.
The heroes of our Texas Alamo were anima-
ted and inspired by true patriotism, who after
counting up the cost resolved 10 die in the
cause OF liberty, and their names should be
come as immortal and enduring as the pyra
mids of Egypt True patriotism insNred the
noble Washington to voluntarily quit the high
est office within the gift of his nation and re-
tire 10 private life. True patriotism inspired
the fathers OF this great republic to meet to-
gether and work without compensation day
and night upon the constitution, which has
been the admiration of the world. True pa
lriotlsm caused our government to be run
'by the people and for the people" for more
han 50 years after it was founded. But where
is true patriotism to be found to-day? We
lock in vain for It in the national and state
governments. II would be unsafe to assume
hat there is none, but where can it be foundY

The striking telegraphers have held their

The Foreign Exhibition.

An inspection of the worlds fair at Boston
shows that in the great hall of the building are
the exhibits from Brazil, Japan, Austria, Hun
gary, Aleiers, Sweden, Holland, Norway, Bel
GUM, Russia, Persia, Turkey, Hawaii, Tunis,
Siam, Denmark Ireland and Cuba, But few
of these exhibits are complete. In the main
building are to be the exhibits of England,
Scotland, Germany, France, China, the East
Indies, Canada, etc, but few Of which are in
position. In the basement beneath the eastern
end Of the building Is section Of United
States bonded warehouse. Here all the art.-
ces to be exhibited are uDpacked, compared
with the invoices, labeled, charged and deliv-
cred for exhibition, the duties to be finally
paid upon all articles sold during the contn-
uance Of the bazar-for such, in a measure, it
il. The most attractive feature of the exhib.-
tion so far is the art gallery. 1t may be said to
comprise the most interesting exhibition OF
paintings ever shown in Boston, one fact of
great interest being that no one piece shown
there vas ever seen elsewhere in this country
There are In the main gallery paintings by
French, Italian, Belgian and Austrian artists.
The Italian collection is especially fine, there
being scarcely poor picture in it, while many
OF them are excellent. There are also fine pic
lures in the other collections, and some peculiar
ones OF II new school OF art cOloring Among
the portraits Is one Of the Princess Louise,
pointed by herself, and in the gallery devoted
| TO water-colors, several drawings by the same
lady The exhibits Of Italian statuary, both
within and outside the gallery, are very good.
Some rare mosacs and glassware are also
shown, Among the statuary inside the gallery
is a fine marble bust of King llumbert OF Italy,
contributed bv him and presented 10 the United
States. In the western art gallery is the col
lection of ancient tapestry aud paintings of the

25O0 years old.

The first deposit, in May, 1862 was $3.50, and
the sum of the deposits at the end OF the first
year was about S5 000 For the first five years
semi. annual dividends of two and one-half per
cent were made, and at the end of that time an
extra dividend of five per cent per annum was
declared on all deposits then in, making ten
per cent per annum during the first five years.
During the next five years the same regular
dividend was kept up, and at the end of that
time an extra dividend of two per cent per
annum was made, thus giving seven per cent
for the second five years. As is evident from
the above, there would be handsome surplus
il the profits had not been paid to the de-
positors, instead Of allowing them to accnmu-
late. The number of deposits exceeding ST.

deposits is S37, 139 80. Dividends of two per
