THE WASHINGTON CENTENNIAL.

President Harrison has issued the
following proclamation for q special
observance of April 80:
A hundred years have passed since
the government which our fOrefath-
ers founded was formally organized.
At noon on the 3Oth day of April,
1889. i'll the city of New York, and
in the presence of an assembly of the
heroic men whose patriotic devotion
had led the colonies to independence,
George Washington took the oath of
office as chief magistrate of the new
born republic This impressive act
was preceded, at nine O'Clock in the
mo rning, in all the churches of the
CITY, by PRAYER for Gods blessing on
the government and its first presi-
dent. The centennial of this illuStri-
Gus event in our history has been de-
clared general holiday by act of
congress, to the end that the people
of the whole country may join in
commemorative exercises apprOpri-
ate to the day In order that thejOy
of the occasion may be associated
with deep thankfulneSS in the minds
of the people for all our blessings in
the past, and devOut supplicatiOn
to God for their gracious continu-
ance in the future, the representa-
tives of the religious creeds, both
Christian and Hebrew, have memo
rallied the government to designate
an hour for prayer and thanksgiving
on that day. Now, therefore, |, Ben
jarnin Harrison, President of the
United States of America, in response
to this piOus and reasonable request,
do recommend that on Tuesday,
April 30th, at the hour of 9 O'Clock
IN the morning, the people of the en-
tire country repair to their respective
places of divine worship to implore
the favor of God, that the blessings
of liberty, prosperity and peace may
abide with us as a people, and that
his hand may lead us in the paths of
righteousness and good deeds.

THE LATE LEWIS YDEN.

Lewis Hayden, whose long illness,
the incurable disease of old age, has
at last ended in death, was one of the
most interesting figures about the
state house of late years, and quite
as monumental as the Webster statue
or the Attacks sugar loaf. He was
the most of a man with one excep-
ton that has been seen in the secre-
tary of states office since the civil
WARRIOR indeed he was a full man,
with the virtues of Massachusetts
and Kentucky well combined in his
character. He was brave enough,
without any bravado and with an
adroit and conciliatory intelligence
which carried him through many
trying seasons. Other men of his
race contested with him the leader
ship of the colored men of Boston
from time to time,-but, on the
whole. he was always their leader
from the day of Shadrach and William
Craft, and John Brown. He had a
native eloquence, too, when he spoke
from his heart, which was very effec
tive, though many others excelled
him in converse tional rhetoric. Many
of the anti-slavery leaders relied on
him-Andrew perhaps as much as
any. John Brown did not know him
very we'll, but he knew Brown, and
added materially in putting Browns
Virginia campaign on a practicable
footing. 1t was Lewis Hayden who
turned the grandson of Francis Jack
sOn-yOung Merriam, with his $500
in gold toward Harpers Ferry at the
critical moment, and it was with
was enabled to be struck. Every
man directly concerned in that raid
is now dead-Owen Brown being the
last-but Hayden was almost enough
concerned to be a principal. He was
the actual liberator of Shadrach, l
suppose-the first fugitive forcibly
rescued in Boston. Hayden's own
escape from Kentucky was daring
and romantic enough-but that sto-
~ has often been told.
Hayden was always ready to aid
any plan which would hasten the
day of freedom for his people. twas
this which commended him to John
Andrew, Theodore Parker and the
other friends of immediate emancipa
ton in Boston; and again it was his
word, with its contingent of colored
voters, which more than once decided
important elections in Boston. 1t
sent Andrew to the Legislature, and
thus brought him prominently for
ward as a candidate for governor
when he was most needed for An
drew's friends were rather reserving
him for service on the bench at the
right time and Parker used to intro
duce Andrew to people at his Sunday
evening receptions in Exeter place, as
1.-THE future chief justice of Massachu
setts." The war superseded the func
ton of the supreme court in matters
relating to freedom but there was a
time when we looked to the bench
for better law than we always got,
that dismal period when, as Milton
says,

A horrible accident recently occur

at night, when the covers are fasten-
ed on and steam applied at high
pressure. Jerry Sullivan, a 17-year-
old lad, had been at work packing
cloth in the kiers, and while waiting
for cloth probably fell asleep. Not
being missed, the manhole was clos

he was discovered.
a correspondent of the Boston
Journal questions the statement that
Bradford, VT, was the first town in
the United States to employ the town
caucus method of selecting a post
master. From Wheeler's History of
Brunswick, Topsham and Harps-
well, Me, he quotes the following
sentence: AT the annual meeting in
1861 the town (Topsham) expressed
its choice of the candidates for the
Office of postmaster, and Robert p.
Whitney received a majority of the
votes" Mr. Whitney was subse-
quently appointed.
The people on the passenger train
from the East on the St. Paul road
recently had an exciting experience
near Mt. Vernon. A prairie fire was
raging around the track, and the en-
gineer, not knowing its extent, ran
into it, expecting to run through to
safety in a few moments. He found
the fire getting worse, however, and
finally stopped, but could not run
back, as the flames behind had made
the track unsafe. The passengers
and train hands got out and fought
the fire, but the danger kept increas-
ing. Finally the engineer was forced
to proceed, as to remain still would
have been fatal. 1t was feared that
the rails were warped, and the pas
sengers expected a terrible accident,
but after what seemed long period
of suspense the train emerged from
the smoke and flames safely. Several
of the passengers who had been fight
ing the flames were painfully burned.
The women passengers were terribly
agitated by their alarming experience.

to persuade them to yield gracefully
to their fate. The United States does
not offer the Cherokee nation the
value of their possessions, nor even
what they have already been offered
for it, but a price arbitrarily fixed,
below any possible estimate of their
value Whether the Cherokees are
pleased or not makes no difference
with the result They have got to
take what the United States offers,
for the threat has already been made
in Congress, and they may feel rea
sonablv sure that it will be fulfilled,
that if the Indians refuse their con-
sent, a bill will be passed to the
same purpose with the condition of
consent left out.
lust what this action is, morally,
can be best appreciated by imagining
a proceeding of the same sort direct
ed against any other nation with
which we are at peace, which has
given us no cause of OffenSe, but
which possesses large tracts OF land
it does not improve or occupy, and
which have attracted the covetous
eyes of American citizens. Of course
our relations with Mexico, for in
stance, are not on the same footing
as those with the Cherokee nation,
but we are no more strongly bound
to respect Mexican territory than
theirs The long and short of it is,
we have arrived at the point where
we think it is best to eXt1ngu1sh the
title we have given, violate our own
guarantees and commit highway
robbery on large scale.
