The Declaration of Independence,

Few people know that the original Dec
laration OF Independence is kept in the
library of the U. S. State Department. 1t
is In cherry case and under glass. But
the doors are thrown open all day long and
strong rays Of light ara eating up It's ink
lay by day. The constitution is written
on parchment. The text of it is in hand
as fine as copper plate and the ink of th is
part can still be plainly read. The sigma
lures, however. are written In different
INK, and they are very fast disappearing
under the action Of the light. The bold
signature of John Hancock is. faded al
most entirely out. Only a J. o, b, and an
Il remain. Two lines of names are en-
tirey removed from the paper; not YES
tige of ink remains to show that names
were ever there. Ben Franklin g name is
gone. Roger Sherman's name Is fast fad
ing; could not find the name of Thomas
Jefferson, and Elbridge Gerry has lost its
last syllable. Robert Carroll and John
Adams have been secured off by the light,
and only eleven names out of the fifty odd
can be read without microscope. Just
below the constitution lies the original of
it in Jtfferson's handwriting. 1t is on
foolscap paper, yellow with age. and worn
through where the manuscript has been
folded. The writing is fine and close, and
the whole constitution occupies but two
pages. The ink is good, and it remains
as fresh as when it left the quill of Jeffer-
son over 100 years ago. 1t is full of era
sures and lnterlineations, some of which
are In Franklin's hand writing and others
in the strong script of John Adams.

A Remarkable Woman.

It has become the habit in these days to
rank men and women as heroes and
heroinss on small provacation. The title

young nursamaid who was shot by he'
drunken sutton last Sunday night.
I Katie evidently has remarkable will

Downfall uf the Sons Of Malta.

1t is not perhaps generally known, says
the Lafayette (Ind.) Courier, but the dis
solution of the sons of Malta throughout
the United States was the result Of an un-
fortunate ard fatal accident hero. George
Harding, an employee of the wholesale
GROCERY establishment of Reynolds, Earl
& Hatcher, brave and brawny Scotch
man, desired to become member of the
order, and the order was DOLLY too glad to
take him in" A night was set apart for
his initiation. and as he was particular

proceeded amid uproarious fun up to the
elevated raj way and plunge into the
seething waters of the laks-a vat blan-
ket in the hands of dozen strong men,
in which the aspirant was tossed about
until they we're exhausted. Harding was
an intensely earnest man, and took the
initiation to be a serious affair, bei.g told
by the Grand Conductor that from the
elevated railway he would be plunged IN.

Big Snakes at Dinner.

months had elapsed since he had taken his
last meal. Around him were half dozen
snakes just as lazy aud listless and sleepy
Near the side of the case, in box sunk
several inches below the level of the sur

great reptile began to draw the rabbit into

The Land of the Afternoon.

An old man sits in his garden chair,
Watching the sunlit western sky,
What sees he in the blue deep there,
Where only the Isles OF Memory !ie7 Il
There are princely towers and cas- les high.
There ar gardens fairer than human ken,&
There are happy children thronging by,
Radiant women and stately mn,
Singing with voices of sweet attune
The songs of the Land of the afternoon
The old man watches a form of cloud
That floats where the azure islands are.
And he sees bones cad gray and loved,
And hand that beckons him afar,
o. cheek of roses and hair of gold
o. yes of heavens divinest blue!
Long have ye lain in the graveyard mold
But love is infinite. love is true:
He will find her-yes-it must be soon:
The sky has changed, and wreck of cloud
Is driving athw TT its troubled face,
The golden mist is trailing shroud;
1t Is cold and bleak in the garden place.
The old man smiles and droops his head,
The thin hair blows from his wrinkled brow,
The sunset radiance has appeared
Ger every wasted feature now;
One sigh exhales like breath in Tune
He has fund the Land OF the Afternoon

The Warner weekly sun. (Warner, Brown Co., Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1885, 1884-10-24

AGELIGIoUs revolution is threatened
in Russia. The white czar has for
many generations been recognized as
the religious, as well as the political
head of the state. In the autonomy
Of Rassia4li ie is IS Il tlas ftfs'e a well IS the
king. No bishop or metropolitan can
hold his office without the seal of the
car, and tho czsrina at coronation
kneels to the czar, not in his capacity
as an emperor, but as the yicegerent
OF God. Now, however, a sect Of dis
aenters has risen, which threatens the
overthrow Of this belief in divine selec-
tion. The dissenters have their head
quarters III Moscow, and they nave
thousands Of adherents through the
empire. They are not nihilists, and
they do not seek to subyert the exist
Ing government. They simply discard
the religious ritual used BY the oyalists,
and they deny the religious supremacy
Of the czar.
