Resolved. That it is expedient forthwith to
take the most effectual measures for forming
foreign alliances.
Resolved That plan of confederation be
prepared and transmitted to the respective
colonies for their consideration and approba-
tion.
There was no uncertainty about these
resolutions; they went straight to the
mark. The most conservative dele
gates hesitated at voting for so revolu-
tionary measure; to favor its passage
meant to array ones self in open and
individual rebellion against the Crown.
In fact, so well was this fact known,
that the names of the mover and sec
onder of the resolution were omitted
from the journal of Congress. The
leaders who had only admitted the ne
cessity for u separation, after careful
deliberation, eloquently defended Mr..
Lees declaration. 1t was finally re-
solved to defer action until July, but,
that no time might be lost in case OF
their adoption, it was decided TO APP
point committee to frame declara-
tiOn OF independence on the basis of
the first resolution. On the llth this
committee was appointed, its members
being Thomas jefferson, of Vir-
ginia; John Adams, of Massa-
chusetts: Benjamin Franklin, of
Pennsylvania; Roger Sherman, OF Con-
necticut; and Robert II. Livingston, Of
New York. Just how, when and where
the committee prepared its draft Of the
Declaration Will probably never be
known. The honor ot being the birth
place OF the charter Of American liberty
has been assigned at least 10 three or
four houses In Philadelphia, aud au.

hundred years ago has ever continued
to give forth a large blaze, until now
the American republic is lighting the
peoples of the earth on to higher
civilization. Despotic governments
have fallen before its majestic glare
The nations of the whole earth tfem-
BILE before it's researches.
When the Congress of 1716 convened
in independence Hall war with the
mother country was in active progress;
the colonies had been prescribed as
rebels; further submission and hesita-
ton were useless. The issue was square
ly met in Congress June 7, when Rich
ard Henry Lee, of Virginia, introduced
these resolutions:
Resolved, That these United States Colonies
are, and ought be, free and independent States;
that they ale absolved from all allegiance to
the British Crown. and that all political con-
necton between them and the State of Great
Britain is and ought to be. totally dissolved.

the question ofthe place is an open one,
though Watson, in his Annals, asserts
that the general opinion was that the
Declaration was drawn by jefferson in
the front room of the second story at
the south end of the Indian Queen Inn.
AS regards the author of the docu-
ment, there is no dispute. 1t is uni
versally admitted that this honor be-
longs to jefferson. The desk on which
he is supposed to have done the work
is preserved in the State Department
building at Washington, as is the orig
inal draft with its occasional cO'rec-
tiOns and interlineations. Ludicrous
illustrations representing the commit
tee at work upon the Declaration, with
then unknown American flag at the
window of the room and crowd about
them, are published in some histories.
As matter of fact, writes Edward B.
Phelps, the committee, doubtless. met
alone and quietly and deliberately at
attended to the grave task imposed
upon them. Though the deliberations
OF Congress upon the subject had been
secret, the public was well aware of
what was going on, and as the day for
vote upon the resolutions of Mr.. Lee
approached the greatest interest in
the result was manifested. 1t was. of
course, known that bare majority of
the States had instructed their dele
gates to vote for independence. and the
mere passage of the resolutions was
assured. But nothing short of abso-
Lutte unanimity on so important n
measure would suffice. The step had
been thoroughly canvassed in the
interim between the appointment
of the committee to draft the Declara-
ton and the announcement of its re-
port. The committee first reported to
Congress as committee on the whole
on June %. Mr.. Harrison, of Virginia.
the great-grandfathe of ex-President
Harrison, occupied the chair. Adams
and Franklin suggested certain changes.
and the draft was thoroughly discussed
and somewhat amended by the Con-
gres5. On July the vote on Mr.. Lees

Declaration of Independence to
have been taken The question went
over until the following day, however.
and all the colonies but New York
voted for the adoption of the resolu-
tions. At first Pennsylvania and Della
ware Wcro ulNluoU Oh une issue, Dut
afterward cast their unanimous votes
in its favor. On the 4th of July the
Declaration, having been canvassed
section by section and clause by clause,
was ratified by Congress as amended.
Some say that President Hancock
alone signed the original draft; others,
that all the fifty-eight delegates except
John Dickinson, of Pennsylvania, APP
pended their names. Jefferson is cred.
tied with the statement that, after. it
had been adopted. by the unanimous
vote of all the States, John Hancock. AS
President, signed it, and the following
morning it was shown to each member
of Congress as he entered the hall, and
then and thus received his signature
without formal order of Congress. Be
that as it may, an engrossed copy was
prepared, and by Augusta every mem
Der of Congress, except dickinson, who
had been retired, had signed it.

Old and Young Clouds.

Does it not seem rather sigular to
speak of the age Of clouds, of old
clouds and young clouds, just as you
would describe plants as being either
young or old? Yet it really appears
that such a distinction can be made,
and the discovery, as so frequently
happens, was based upon a preceding
mistake.
Mr.. John Aitken reached the con-
clusion some years ago that the
density of a cloud was proportional
to the number of water particles it
contained, the water PARTICLES in turn
depending upon the particles of dust
present.
But more recently Mr. Aitken has
ascertained that h S first conclusion
was wrong, and that in many clouds
the density falls far short of proper
tionality with the number of water
PARTICLES. Further investigation has
satisfied him that the size Of the wa
ter particles-changes with the age OF
the cloud.
Inc CLOUDS upon when MS ODSerVa-
tions were made a number of years
ago must, he thinks, have been old
clouds, and in them the water parti-
cles, being comparatively large, APP
feared to be proportional to the
density But the later observations
were made upon newly-formed oil
young clouds, in which the particles
were small in size.
Thus the law of growth and de-
veloplpent which obtains among liv,
ing things, has its expression also
even in the clouds Of Heaven.

The Fourth of July is good day to
look back into the days 50 long gone
by, the days when Washington led the
armies of the true and the brave to the
greatest victory the world has ever
seen. What magnificent page in the
worlds history! The Greeks, the Rus
slams. and the Saxons gained their in
dependence only to be fettered by other
chains and so they fell, one after an
other. After over hundred years of
life the republic whose birth we cele-
brate, stands colossal monument
among nations, to government by the
people. In single century we have
made more progress in science, art, and
manufacture than did Greece and
Rome in any five hundred years of their
ascendency. The light that was famed

A STRANGE ADVENTURE.

In the year 1868 I signed papers
with Capt. Delano of the brig jose
phine for voyage from Sydney to
Auckland and return. She was an
English craft, and was loaded with u
general cargo, and bad made many
voyages across the New Zealand Sea
The crew consisted Of captain, mate,
cook, ana Fur Lieil before the nidst,
and everyone but the cook was white
and spoke English, / was then l8I
years old and just out Of my appren-
ticeship. l should have had a second
mates berth, but the Josephine car
ried no such officer The captain
stood his own watch, and there were
occasions when the mate had to go
aloft with the men. Capt. Delano
was a good sailor and good-nearted
man, and there was nothing in the
grub or the discipline to find fault
with. We left Sydney one morning
with fair wind for the 800 mile
voyage. and had anyone predicted the
queer adventures and the tragedies
which were to befall us he would have
been looked upon as lunatic.
For the first three days out we had
fair winds and smooth sea, and the
brig made fine progress. At mid
night on theirthird night the wind
shifted, blew up squall which lasted
half an hour, and then died away as
fat as you please. We were left roll
In. an 70 a N nr fxyn
but when daylight came the surface
of the sea was without ripple, while
there was not the slightest breath Of
air moving above. The sun came up
like a ball of fire, and the greenest
hand aboard knew we were in for a
calm. 1t was terribly hot by mid
forenoon, and our humane captain
ordered all hands to knock of and
make themselves as comfortable as
possible BY noon the brig was like
an oven. The decks were so hot that
even the cook with his tough feet
dared not walk them unshod. Down
In the forcaste it was sitting, but as
IL was worse on the deck we had TO
stand it.
1t was about noon when the cook,
who had gone TO the side to throw
over some slops, called out TO come
and see the largest shark which hu-
man eyes ever beheld. i crawled up
from the fo'castle, always curious TO
see one OF the monsters close at hand,
but expecting the cook had greatly
exaggerated, ana when | looked over
the rail / was astonished. There lay
