rHE LITERATURE OF THE DAY.

THE DISPATCH to-day carries out its
proposition to prepare for an old-tashioned
Fourth of July by publishing in its supple
ment the words and music OF the standard
National Airs, with the Declaration of 1n-
dependence. This literature, appropriate to
the day, will be distributed among the cele-
orators at Schenley Park tomorrow.
This is in harmony with what was the
vital characteristic of the old-fashioned
celebrations of the National Anniversary.
There may have been good deal of fuss and
feathers about the old militia parades and
superabundance OF spread-eagleism in the
Fourth OF July orator. But there was al
ways abundant food for thought in the old
fashioned celebrations to inspire reflections
on the patriotic work of the men of the Revo-
luton in establishing the independence
of this country, on the principles of equal
ity and individual freedom, on which our
Government was founded, and on the duty
oi succeeding generations to maintain the
purity and vitality of those principles for all
ages. The drift away from that form of
celebration until our Fourth of July has
become an occasion for the annual sacrifices
of large smounto of property and some life to
the demon of Chinese noise is an indication
of a divergence from the constsnt and
jealous preservation Of these principles.
The gathering together of large share Of
our population to unite the pleasures Of
celebration with the comnemoration of the
principles to which the day is dedicated,
will be very useful. The patriotic hymns
and the Declaration of Independence repre-
sent both the sentiment and the philosophy
of the day.

Commission, strikes us as unsuitable in the
highes. degree. The joint site contains the
Lake Front downtown and jackson Park.
The Lake Front is to be filled in by the Hin
ois Central Railroad to considerable extent
From the downtown section Of the Expo
sition to Jackson Park is distance of about
six miles. This patchwork scheme only
provides $50 acres after all; an amount Of
space which experience has shown to be in
sufficient for a great exposition. But the
great objection to the joint site is that it
divides the Exposition into two parts. with
an interval of six miles. 1t is urged
that four-track railroad and steamboats,
on the lake will bring the sections close to-
gether in point of time. But those who
argue thus admit that the journey between
the two points will take 15 minutes. At
this distance the joint site looks preposter-
GUS. The Illinois Central Railroad alone
cannot complain of scheme which appears
to have been carried through for its sole
benefit.
1t seems a pity that the Worlds Fair
sbould start out under such unfavorable
conditions. THE DISPATCH is only de-
s,rous that the Columbian Exposition

MIsCHIEvoUs LEGISLATION,

The Federal election bill passed the House
last night. The majority of six which it
obtained would not have been forthcoming
if a tolerably clear assurance that the Sem
ate would have none of it had not eased
several Republican consciences. The bill
ought not to become law, and the Senate
will probably emasculste it or kill
it outright. The trouble about such
nl-advised attempts at legislation as the
Federal election bill is that they delay and
endsnger measures of the greatest value.
The tariff bill, which is of the greatest i'm
portance to the whole country. has already
been injured in this way. The Federal
election bill is bad in itself; and relatively
it may do damage to the whole Republican
programme.

1t Walks the Streets and then Falls Into the
Water and Is Drowned.
From the Forest and Stream.1
Henrik Dahl, Of Aalesund, was a reader and
follower of Darwin. Wishing to apply his
theory of the limit of adaptability of a species
to its environment, he procured herring from
a neighboring ford and carried it home in a
tub of sea water. He renewed the water daily
for some time. and gradually reduced the guam
tity. with SO little Inconvenience to the herring
that he concluded that the fish might. in time,
learn to breathe air undiluted with water. like
the cat and man. 1t turned out as he expected,
and the water was finally turned out of the tub
never to be replaced. Henrik next removed
the fish from its tub and placed it on the
ground. where it Topped about very awkwardly
at first but soon learned to move freely and
rapidly. In a little while the herring was able
to follow its master without difficulty, and then
it became his constant companion about the
streets of the city. On certain unfortunate
day Henrik had occasion to cross dilapidated
bridge which spanned an arm of the harbor.
The herring coming gracefully along, needless
of danger, now and again springing at the
ephemera for which it had acquired an
especial foudness missed its footing, slipped
through q crack into the water beneath and
was drowned

THE UNsUccEssFUL RESCUE.

The exploration of the Hill Farm mine
by the three daring explorers who pene-
trated 1900 feet into its depths on Tuesday;
the fact that until the fans of the Mahoning
mine had driven the gases away from the
portion explored, it was filled with smoke
and black damp; and, finally, the discovery
of the coats and dinner buckets of some of
the lost minera, evidently left in haste at
the time of the explosion, indicate the pre-
ponderant probability that all of the i'm
prisoned miners were either killed BY the
explosion or smothered by the gases within
a short time of the disaster. There is some
mitigation, since we must accep. the fact of
their wholesale destruction, in the thought
that their death was swift and compare
lively painless, instead of being brought on
by the slow horrors of starvation and thirst.
The end of the heroic work undertaken on
the slight chance of rescue makes it a fail
ure SO far as actual rescue of the imprisoned
men is concerned. But work done in the
hope of aiding fellow-creatures, however
slight that hope may be, is never wholly
thrown away. The splendid record OF the
attempted rescue; the grim determination
with which for two weeks the brave miners
drove their tunnel through hundreds of feet
OF rock and coal; and finally the quiet hero
ism with which the exploring party took
their lives into their hands and penetrated
the windings of the burning mine will
always be bright example. The practical
precept afforded by men of humble station
that all selfish thoughts are to be thrown
aside to join in the work of rescuing their
fellow-men in disaster is one by which the
whole world can profit.
With that heroic effort the next duty de-
wolves upon the charitable public. Nearly
two score families have been deprived of
their supporters by the heavy blow of this
disaster. At the best, their circumstances
were precarious; but with this calamity,
from want and suffering. The charitable
heart of the nation will not leave it to be
said that after the heroic attempts to rescue
the miners has been made failure by their
death in the mine, their families were lett
to slower death for lack of food and care.
The generosity which has been displayed in
the rescue must not be the only exhibition
of high qualities in connection with the
disaster. The contributions of those who
wish to provide for the families of the dead
men should be prompt and liberal.
1t is by the exhibition of such qualities of
mutual help and promptness in aiding the
unfortunate that the gloom OF such disasters
is alleviated. The responsibility for the
loss of life must be thoroughly sifted by the
proper authorities; but without waiting for
that investigation the public. at large
should be as prompt and generous in coming
to the relief of the bereaved families as the
miners of Dunbar were in their brave effort
for the rescue of the victims.

MY LITTLE NEIGHBOR.

A bonnie, winsome lassie,
With q face like a blossom sweet
She stood at the open window,
Watching tie busy street.
Homesick and sad and lonely,
At the close of the summer day,
i stood at my open window,
On the other side Of the way.
And saw the little maiden,
So near me and yet so far;
In her innocent, childish beauty,
AS pure as the angels are.
And a smile of radiant beauty,
As she saw me, flashed over her face,
Like ray of golden sunshine
That lights up some darkened place.
No more was sad and lonely,
And gone were the shadows gray,
For that smile OF friendly greeting
Had banished the gloom away,
Oh, bonnie little maiden,
If wish of mine could bring
Earth's choicest, richest blessings
To thee, on fortunes wing,
How free from care or sorrow
Thy happy life would be
My neighbours little daughter,
The lassie who smiled at Inc.
