An ApochrYnhal Incident.

In The Scots Magazine for 1776, pub
lished at Edinburgh, a copy of which is
in the writer's possession, in the number
for August occurs the following curious
item, descriptive of some ceremonies al
legged to have been observed by the con-
tinental congress on the day Of Its adop-
ton of the declaration:
A letter from Philadelphia says: "The 4th of
July, l176. the Americans appointed as day
OF Fasting and prayer, preparatory to their
dedicating their country to God, which was
done in the following manner: Tho congress
being assembled, after having declared Amer
lea independent, they had crown placed on a
Bible, which by prayer and solemn devotion
they offered to God This religious ceremony
being ended, they divided the crown into thir-
teen parts, each Of the united provinces taking
part"
II have been unable to discover" SAYS
Mr.. Deshler, ''any confrmatory evidence
Of this dramatic and, suspect, entirely
fabulous performance. have no doubt,
however, that it was published in The
Scots Magazine in entire good faith, and
that it was derived from source on
which its conductors placed full reliance.
as that magazine was constant friend
Of this country. Its pages were largely
devoted to American news, its informa-
ton relative to our affairs was full and
generally accurate, and it's sympathies
for the American people in their contro-
versy with Great Britain were generous

The Fourth ut Pine Ridge.

All the morning several hundred
squaws had been at work under the su-
pervision Of the issue clerk, and when
the sports were concluded everybody's
appetite was In good condition. Ten
huge steers had been butchered and
cooked, and with the meat was served
other edibles and drinkables. Two thou
sand five hundred pounds of hardtack,
200 pounds of coffee, 400pounds of sugar,
700 pounds of bacon and 200 pounds of
rice We're handed out early in the day
and prepared for consumption. When
all was ready, the male Indians seated
themselves in what was originally in
tended to be huge circle, the squaws
who had something to do busted them
selves, while those whose work was con-
cluded squatted around the periphery
and ate that which the lordly savages
were pleased to give. There never was
such sight In all the history of Pine
Ridge, and there may never be another
such, nearly 5000 Indians all eating at
one time and in one place, all cracking
hardtack and swigging coffee and chew
ing beef, taking good tooth hold on a
piece of the animal and then cutting off
the portion held in the hand with
knife.-Exchange.

No one familiar with the career of
Louis Kossuth will for moment credit
the charge that the splendid and chival-
rous manhood which dared death and
exile for principle has yielded to the
base influence of bribe giver. 1t is true
that William of Orange and Lord Bacon.
both statesmen and patriots of high
rank, practiced bribery. Lord Give and
William Penn were also engaged in the
same traffic. But Kossuth belongs to
another age.
The ex-dictator of Hungary is said to
have accepted $1,000 year as the price
of support for the present Hungarian
cabinet. The absurdity of the accusa-
ton is shown by the fact that Kossuth
has repeatedly declined the offer of King
Humbert to settle a large pension on
him and has even refused money from
his own sons, preferring to earn his liv-
ing In his old age by his pen, and thus
enjoy the sense of independence. When
Kossuth was expatriated three years ago
so Hungarian cities and towns conferred
honorary citizenship upon him within 10
days after the law went into effect. At
that time the venerable patriot resolute-
ly rejected all proffered gifts of money.
A man who could neither be bought
nor frightened by Napoleon III or Bis
marck is not likely to surrender his soul
to second rate Hungarian Politician

How Fortune Was Handed Down.

If you go to William Quincy's office,
you learn from the legend ON the door
that he is q lawyer whose business is
in real estate. He is himself a large real
estate owner. The history of his fortune
is almost romantic. His grandfather,
the second Josiah Quincy, inherited a
considerable estate from the founder of
the family, who was the president of
Harvard college and otherwise distin-
guished. The grandfather some 40 or
more years ago interested himself in the
construction Of the Troy and Greenfield
railroad, part of which is now known
as the Hoosac Tunnel line, and was not
able to carry out his undertakings.
He was financially embarrassed, but
did not become bankrupt. He was
POSSESSED Of a very large amount of
property, and his creditors saw that in
time he would be able to meet all his
obligations, or that in the event of his
death his estate would do SO. The prop
erty was therefore converted into
trust the creditors appointing trustee
and Mr.. Quincy another.
This trust has lasted until the present
time, but is about to be abrogated, all
the obligations having now been pro-
vided for. For number of years the
present Josiah Quincy has been the princi-
pal trustee and manager of the estate.
which will be worth 81, 900, GOO when the
trust terminates.-Bos Cor. Washing

Fun at the Signing.

Nor was certain amount of verbal
fun wanting. When John Hancock af-
fixed his, under any other circumstance,
preposterous signature, he laughingly
pushed the paper aside, saying: "There
John Bull may read my name without
spectaclesp Again, when Hancock re-
minded the members of the necessity of
hanging together, DR.. Franklin dryly re-
marked, "Yes, we must indeed all hang
together, or else most assuredly we shall
all hang separately" And stout Mr..
Harrison remarked to little Elbridge
Gerry that when the hanging came he
would have the advantage of him, for he
should be dead while little Gerry would
be dangling around slowly choking.
And thus on that hot morning of the
Fourth of July, 1776, amid the livery sta
bles buzzing flies, which the honorable
gentlemen were vainly fighting with wav-
ing handkerchiefs, was given to the
world the immortal Declaration of Inde.

Drinking In Gotham.

The New York papers are claiming
that Gotham is moro strongly opposed to
drunkenness than any other city in the
world. The moral consolation of this
assurance is somewhat impaired from
the fact that the sobriety claimed for
the city is accounted for in the practice
of the leading saloons Of shutting off a
mans grog when it becomes apparent
that he is getting too many sails in the
wind. OF course he takes on the balance
of his cargo at any accessible port, and
the stand made for sobriety under this
system does not amount to much There
may be something in the claim that the
outsiders who visit New York do most
of the drinking, but Gothamites abroad
indicate by their habits that homo con-
sumption has good deal to do with the
prosperity of saloon keepers in the me
tropolis. Free Press.

Irishmen In the Revolution,

Before the Revolutionary war Ireland
sent messages and held meetings through
out the land, sympathizing with the
colonists, and they in turn sent COM
munications explaining their position.
In 1866 Franklin, writing from London,
said: "All Ireland is strongly in favor of
the American cause. They have reason
to sympathize with u.s." OF the signers
of the Declaration of Independence 10
We're of Irish blood or descent. At Bunk
er Hill, in one company of New Hamp-
shire militia, which defended the rail
fence, there were II Irishmen The
countersign, when the British evacuated
Boston in 1775, was "St. Patrick" the
commanding officer of the day, General
Sullivan.
The Irish swarmed in the American
army on sea and ON land, and whether
in the snow and hardships of Valley
Forge or on the victorious field of York
town, they fought bravely and died
nobly for our independence.-Bos

To Hello Across the Continent

The longest telephone circuit in the
world is now projected by the Automat-
ic Telephone and Electric company of
Canada, which intends to lay line of
copper wires on the metallic circuit
plan from Halifax to Vancouver This
is a distance of $500 miles. Copper
is by far the best conductor, and cleo
tricians have SO far advanced their
methods that they can calculate to a
nicely what is required, The circuit
will be, of course, in sections and be
available for communication to many
intermediate points. 1t is a great and
wonderful experiment which the scien-
tific world will watch with intense inter
est. If it proves a success, there seems
to be no good reason why the instrument
cannot be used to transmit speech across
the widest oceans.-Portland Oregonian

Attended Funerals and Denounced Rum.

A singular old fellow, Austin Roberts,
who was sort of genius, died at the
town farm at East Hartford the other
day, aged II years. The two passions of
his life were temperance and a fondness
for funerals. He never missed chance
to lecture on the demon Rum" or attend
a funeral. During his life he had been
purely disinterested mou1ner at good
many more obsequies than he was able
to remember and had delivered scores of
lectures in grandiloquent phrases in
halls or at the street corners, just as fate
or luck would have it.
For many years he was employed by
George Reynolds, who made and sold
"hop and nectar beer" of the tame sort.
He was lively and eloquent drummer
and led the first fremen's parade ever
held in Hartford. He spent his life try
ing to amuse his fellow man and make
him ''better and purer" and all that, and
his fellow man put him in the town poor
house in his old age.-Hartford Letter.

The Prophecy of John Adams,

The approach Of another anniversary
of our national birthday finds the whole
country resounding with the note of prep.
aration for its celebration. The prophecy
of John Adams that the day would be
ushered in by sound of cannon and ring
ing of bells and blazing of fireworks has
been realized ever since that auspicious
day when the old bell in Independence
hall first pealed in joyous tones the birth
of a nation. Changes incident to our
advanced age have brought change In
the modes of celebrating this great day,
but the same patriotic spirit lives and
breathes in all parts of the country and
hnds its own mode of testifying that
patriotism. Washington Star.

INDEPENDENCE DAY.
The Most Tragic Event In Our History, II
Marks the Death of TYRANNY.

Tho Most Tragic Event In Our History, L
Marks the Death of Tyranny.
| will make of thee nation mightier an,
greater than they.-Deuteronomy tx, II.
Another Fourth of July at hand! TIL,
speeding years bring round this grea
anniversary of brave deeds and bray,
results SO rapidly that the music of oul
celebration scarcely dies away in tn,
distance before we begin it all ovel
again.
1t Is the brightest and sunniest, the
saddest and the most tragic day in oul
calendar, the saddest when we thinl
Of the treasure of life which our national
Independence cost, the brightest when
we contemplate the proud position which
the republic has achieved and the en-
couragement it has afforded to those who
are seeking liberty in all quarters of the
globe.
Not one Of the founders of our govern
ment dreamed of the magnitude or DO
htical significance of their undertaking.
They were noble souls who ministered
to the aspirations of 13 colonies and in
doing SO builded far better than they
knew. 1t is safe to say that when King
George signed the document which cut
us loose from his sovereignty he uncon-
sciously put his name to the death war;
rant of tyranny and oppression every
where. No stroke of pen in royal hand
ever meant SO much for the progress Of
mankind. No autograph was ever writ
ten with greater unwillingness, for the
feeble folk whom he professed to despise
had driven his trained legions from the
field, and the raw troops which were
without discipline and without food had
wrung historic victory from his most
trusted generals.
1t will do no harm to recite these facts,
not in the spirit Of wanton boastfulness,
but of grateful appreciation. They not
only stir our pride, but rouse us to
sense of personal obligation. We have
inherited a noble territory; but, better
still, we are the fortunate heirs to GER
tain immortal ideas which are to be de-
Tended against all corners at all times and
at all cost.
No truer or more impressive words
were ever uttered than those of Curran,
who said. THE condition upon which
God hath given liberty to man is eternal
vigilance" The Fourth of July therefore
means watchfulness. A generation of
neglect would mean crack in the walls
of our temple. Amid the hurry and bus
tie of business we must give a passing
and loyal thought to our country. The
flags which will wave from Atlantic to
Pacific, from gulf to lakes, will fill the
air with the mute eloquence of duty, and
the sunshine which will fall on the
tombs of our never to be forgotten dead
will bean appeal to cherish the memories
of the past in order to insure the safety
of the future.
Let fun and jollity prevail. No nation
can as well afford to laugh and be glad
as we. We envy no one and have plenty
within our borders. Peace and prosper
ity are guests in our household. But the
still, small voice whispers word of time
ly warning that as private honesty is
the source of personal happiness public
is the foundation of national
permanency.-New York Herald.

Origin of the Declaration.

Some trace the origin of the declara-
ton to the charter of Runnymede, some
to tho Mayfower compact, some even to
The Mecklenburg resolves, others moro
deeply and truly to that inborn love
OF self ownership and self government
which is so pre-eminently character
-'tic of the Anglo-Saxon race. The en-

Bands of 10 and 20 youngsters, dressed
III most marvellous costumes-rags and
pantomime trousers, tall hats and parti-
colored coats-go by dragging hurdles,
on which the Guys" ride triumphant.
The Guy is poor thing of straw and
rags well lined with gunpowder. He
has not much backbone, and he wabbles
distressfully. The youngsters hammer
at doors and windows and howl that de-
lightful chorus
And they keep it up until the weary
householders buy them off with coppers
of a sixpenny piece.
All day long these troops go wander
ing up streets and down, firing off Chi
nese crackers, shooting toy pistols and
maltreating the depraved but helpless
Guy. Then in the evening a match is
set to his coattail, and straw, rags and
gunpowder go off in burst of smoke
and flame. Here and there Guy is re-
served to decorate a lamppost.
The day is great day for the boydom
of old England-it is jolly and noisy and
patriotic.
