interesting statement is made: IL have

died OF yellow fever, while among the

NINETY-NINE years ago, July 18th,
the Continental Congress passed the
famous Ordinance of 1887" the or
ganic law of the Northwest Territory.
This was the first act passed by our
government prohibiting slavery in
any part of the Union, and hence has
been widely known as the Compact
of Freedom" 1t also contained pro.
visions relating to education, freedom
of religion, and to the rights of per-
sons and property. The Ohio State
Historical and Archaeological Society
has taken steps to celebrate this i'm
portant event. The next session of
the State Teachers Association will
be held in Ohio in July, 1887. and at
that time appropriate commemorative
exercises will be held. This will pre-
pare teachers to make a creditable
showing of Ohio's educational progress
at the Centennial Exposition to be
held in the autumn of 1858, at Column
bus. The Secretary of the Exposition
Board, Mr.. A. A. Graham, is now
sending out circulars of information
on this point. 1t is the intention of
the State Teachers Association to in
vite the teachers of Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan and Wisconsin, (which States
with Ohio, comprise the territory to
join in these commemorative exercis-
es, and, in 1858, to invite all the teach.
ers of the United States to see what
Ohio has done in educational matters
in her first century.

"A Sharp Congressman.

years it was thought that the law on

an average, over $1,000 day since the

Three Remarkable Men,

The Rev. DIR. Harsha of Omaha mar
rates the following incident as told. to.
him by John Dixon of Dixon, Ill - -
= ''Gen. Winfield Scott when n young
man WAS stationed at Fort Smelling. at
the time perhaps the remotest outpost
of the United States. When the Indian
outbreak known as the Blackhawk war
was inaugurated some militia from Illi-
nois proffered their services to aid in
conquering the savages. With a view
to mastering them into the service of
the United States two licutenants were
sent by Scott to the then village of Dix
on. One of these was very fascinat-
ing, good-looking, easy-manncred,
affable, and fluent young gentleman.
The other was equally pleasant looking
but an exceedingly modest young man.
On the morning when the mastering in
was to take place tall, gawly, slab
sided, homely young man, dressed in Il
homemade suit of blue jeans, presented
himself to the two lieutenants rs the
captain of the recruits and was duly
sworn in. This was he who afterwards
became president of the United States
the lamonted Lincoln. One of the lieu
tenants, the modest youth, was he who
fired the first gun from Sumter, Maj.
Anderson. The other. and he who adj
ministered the oath, was in after years
president of the Southern Confedoracy
Jefferson Davis"
Corroborative of Dixon's story DIR.
Harsha relates that he was afterwards
in the book-rooms of Carter Bros, New
York, where he chanced 10 repeat these
condolences in the presence of several
persons who were listeners, One of
them, an elderly gentleman, arose and
remarked that he was happy TO be able
to confirm the facts as given by Mr..
Dixon. as he was the chaplain at Fort
| Smelling at the time, and was fully able
| TO cOrroborate each statement. Another
| by-stander added: "Mr. Lincoln had
often been heard to say that the first
time he ever took the oath of allegiance
to the United States it was administered
to him by Jefferson Davis"
