NV YORK. April a5.-The old Spanish cara
wells, counterparts Of the little craft which
composed the feet Of Columbus, were objects
Of wonder, they swung at anchor in the
lower bay this morning. TO all per-
sons who saw them. They are certainly
a queer-looking trio OF vessels for any one to
have crossed the Atlantic i'll. and all those who
them today can now better appreciate the
grea: courage Of the Giscoversr OF America.
The carayels were tosed into port a: about
10 o'clock last night by the more modern ships
OF the present Spanish navy, and their proz-
unity TO the latter of Grsvesend this morning
made them seem smaller and more antiquated
by comparison.

of the same opinion for they had u hard time

Atlantic coast, and especially between Havana

SECRETARY HERBERT ON THE DOLPHIN.
In the order above mentioned they passed
into the Hudson river at II o'clock this morn
ing, having been saluted from the different
forts in the harbOr as they passed

on board, steamed by the caravcls as
they entered the river and saluted they

En- dat Virginia qulntum.
SO ran the legend that bore
The shield OF the Old Dominion,
In the distant days OF yOre.
And what did she give o England.
What did she give unto thee?
4 soil that was pure and virgin.
And rivers mighty and free.
Which filled all the lands with gladness
And onward rushed TO the sea!
And skies that were blue and golden
As those Of the isle OF Greece;
And valleys az green and quiet
AS vaies In the realm OF peace.
And forests vast and priineval.
Which yield all manner CT store.
OF woods that are rare and precious;
And mountaine crowded with ore.
And waters bringing rich tribute
Each side to the shining shore.
To sons OF a race stout-hearted.
Whom God has meant TO be free
She gave a home and a welcome.
BY the open gates OF the sea-
A home where the English virtues
Would bloom more freely and fsir.

Renrcseniadive government Is wise.

Representative government Is the fairest

II IS a perennial fountain Of patriotism,
for the humblest home IS connected by
II with the throne OK power. Every act
OF citizen and representative IS based on
privilege received in trust for the whole.
and upon corresponding duty TO guard
that privilege and protect the whole.
Patriotism ceases to be ideality, having
practical connection with all public con-
Germs. Its flame Is fed with constant

The Wholesome Effect.
When the early colonists received the
grant Of representative government, they
retoiced with greatful hearts, and In
an address TO the King Of England drew
n striking contrast between the miserable
bondage which they had previously suf-
fered and the just and gentle authority
which had since been exercised. Great
Britain later found another illustration
Of its benefits. She was about TO give up
the hope OF holding her great colonies,
when. after the American example, they
too sought representative institutions;
and she granted them, not In hope but
I'm despair.
