graphic copy, reduced to about half
its size, was made by the Government
photolithographer. Later, full sized
copperplate engraving was prepared,
and the copies printed from this plate
are perfect fac-similes of the original.
1t is believed that in making this en-
craving the original was seriously
damaged by chemical application to
restore the fainter lines but it may be
said that if this engraving had not
been made there would not be au exact
copy of this most important document
in existence. A framed copy of this

even more interesting IN frame be-
meath it, is show Thomas Jefferson's

his erasures and interlineations just o.

The singing of the Declaration of
Independence was solemn act. The
singers were subjects of King George,
and their act was treason. Ii the King
could have caught them he would have
hung them every one, and this they
knew; but according to the traditions
that have come down to us, this knowl-
edge did not deter certain of them
from relieving the solemnity of the oc-
cnsion with the natural flow of their
wit and humor. The remarks attri-
buted to them are not exactly authen-
ticated by history, but they are too
good not to be believed 1t is said
that when John Hancock affixed his bold
autograph he remarked: "rhe Eng
lishmen will have no difficulty in read
ing that" that when Franklin signed
he said: "Now we must all hang to.
gether or we will hang separately"
and that Charles Carroll, of Carrollton.
when asked why he wrote his place of
residence, replied that there was an.
other Charles Carroll aud he didn't
want them t. hang the wrong man.
The most enthusiastic advocate of
the great measure, aud the one who
led the debate in its support was John
Adams, of Massachusetts,, and when the
Declaration was adopted he wrote 10

placed on exhibition. The Secretary
OF the Interior, Hon. Zachariah
Chandler, wrote letter to President
Grant, setting forth the reasons why
this request ought not to be complied
with, but this request was granted,
and, on its hundredth birthday, the
great charter, faded and scarcely
legible, returned to the place of its
birth, and there was exposed to the

In 1877, Mt the close of the exposi.

to place it in Independence Hall. This
request was refused. and the docu-

the Declaration was then adopted. II
was at once entered upon the journal
of Congress; but the engrossed copy,
on parchment, was not prepared and
signed until August 2.
During the first twenty-four years
OF its existence the Declaration was pre-.
served among the archives of the Gov
ernment at Philadelphia, and during
all or part of that time it was un-
doubtedly rolled up, as it shows by the
cracks in the parchment that it must
have been rolled for long period,
and it is known that subsequent to
that time it was hung up exposed to
public gaze.
When, in the year 1900, the Ma
tional Government was transferred to
Washington, the Declaration was car-
ried there and deposited in the De-
partment of State, where it remained
for forty-one years. In the year 1871

ing. This request was complied with,
and for the next thirty-fve years the
Patent Office retained charge of the
precious paper, but it was while there
1t suffered its greatest injury. 1t was
hung up, exposed to public view, be.
hind the glass in one end of case of
Patent Office models. At certain hours
OF the day the sun shone directly upon
it, and, OF necessity, it gradually
faded. 1t Is amazing almost beyond
the power of belief that of the dozen
Commissioners ofPatents who had the
custody OF this document during
those thirty-five years, not one of them
saw that it was being ruined, and not
one OF them had the forethought to
take 1T out OF the sunlight and put it
away in darkness. In England such
treatment OF an important State paper
is unheard OF. Magma Charta, the
death warrant of Queen Mary and
other archives in the British Museum
four or five times a. old as our Declara-
ton OF Independence, are still kept in
a condition OF perfect preservation.
In 1873 Congress woke up to the
outrage that was being perpetrated
and appointed a commission consist
ing OF the Secretary of the Interior,
the Secretary OF the Smithsonian In
stitution-Professor Joseph Henry
and Ainsworth r. Spofford, the
Librarian OF Congress, "to have resort
to such means as will most effectually
restore the writing of the original
manuscript OF the Declaration of In
dependence, with the signatures ap.
pended thereto" Experts were con-
suited by this commission, and finally,
the matter was referred to the
National Academy of Sciences. 1t
having become known that the great
Declaration was fading away, the pub
lie became interested in the effort
made for its restoration, and the pub
lie press urged the importance of
prompt action, but years went by
and nothing was done. The National
Academy of Sciences reported to the
commission that portions of the
restoration was impossible. Mean
while, in 1876 George W. Childs, of
Philadelphia, aud Frank M. Etting,

of the Centennial Exposition, re-

The document is a single sheet of
parchment, thirty-six inches long and
and thirty-two inches wide, and bears
no scrolls or decorations such as are
seen upon many of the copies that are
&C common. The body of the writing
having been evenly and clearly written
when the instrument was engrossed, is
still even, though badly faded, and

with different ink and another pen,
are faded and beyond recognition,
