When First Cclebrafed.

The first known celebration of Warh.
ington's birthday was on February II,
1854. The old style date was still ad-
hered to. This was during the lifetime
of the first pi esident ard completed
his SD year. The following is from
the Pennsylvania Packet, of PhiIadel-
phia, OF the date of Tuesday. February
Il, 1884: "New York (Friday) February
l3.-Wednesday last being the birth
day of his sxcel!ency, Gen. Washington,
the same was celebrated by all the true
friends of American independence and
constitutional liberty with that hilari-
ty and manly decorum ever attendant
on the sons of freedom. In the evening
an entertainment was given on board
the East India ship in this harbor to
very brilliant and respectable COM
pany. and the discharge of 10 cannon
was fired on the joyful OCCASION" The
observance of the day was not confined
to New York city.

The youth sprang forward and
grasped the strangers hand with Srnt-
itutle, and next moment Annette was
weeping from pure JOY upon his breast.
The place rang with the reclamation of
the delighted people, and amid the ex-
element the newcomer withdrew, re-
mounted his horse, and rode briskly out
o; the village.
That night Harry and Annette were
married, and during the festivities
many and many bumper was drunk
to the health of the mysterious and
noble-hearted stranger.
Passing on several years, we find
that Harry Carroll has become Col.
Harry Carroll, of the revolutionary
army. One evening the colonel, after
just returning from hard campaign,
was sitting with his family on the
piazza of his handsome country house.
when an advance courier rode up and
announced the approach of Gen. WASH
ington and suite, who would crave
the colonel's hospitality for the night.
The necessary directions in reference
to household preparations being given,
the colonel ordered his horse and rode
forward to meet the distinguished
guest, whom he had never seen, though
serving in the same widely extended
army.
That evening at the table, Annette,
now the dignified, matronly, and still
handsome Mrs. Carroll, could not keep
her eyes from the face of her illustri-
Gus visitor. Every moment or two
she would steal a glance at his COM

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the car. There Is
only one way TO cure deafness, and that Is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inf1amed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have q rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it IL
entirely closed deafness Is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to Its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by catarrh,

TUMULT IN THE REICHsTAG.
Some Grave Charges Against African
EXnlOrcr Peters,

Some Grave Charges Against African
Explorer Peters.
A dispatch from Berlin describes a
stormy scene in the reichstag. 1t arose
through Herr Behel, one of the socialist
leaders, accusing DR.. Carl Peters, the Afri-
can explorer, while he was imperial COM
missioner to Africa, in 1891, with causing
a negro and negress to be hung without
trial because they had taken a fancy to
each other, of which DR.. Peters disapprov-
ed. The German officer refused to execute
the sentence Nevertheless, the sentence
was executed.
DIR. Peters proclaimed officially that the
negroes were hung as spies. After that
the English bishop, Tucker, declined to
receive DR.. Peters, saying that he would
have nothing to do with murderer.
DR.. Peters thereupon wrote to Bishop
Tucker, contending that he was married to
the negress according to the African Gus
tom, and therefore had a right to put her
to death for adultery.
DIR. kayser, director Of the colonial de-
partment, in reply to Herr Bebel, express
ed doubts whether African travellers could
be judged according to European standards.
He tried to mollify the house by referring
to Hermann Wissman's spotless character,
but although he gave a long explanation
to the effect that an investigation had
shown that the negroes were guilty of theft
and other offenses and that Dr. Peters
could not be incriminated, he failed to sat
isfy the house.
