 NOTE.
 | July 4th, 1863.
 Two days bring about great changes. The banner of the Union floats over Vicksburg General Grant has caught the rabbit he has dined in Vicksburg, and he did bring his dinner with him. | The Citizen" lives to see it. For the last time it appears on Wall Paper No more will it eulogize the luxury of mule meat and friccassed kitten--urge Southern warriors to such diet never more. This is the last wallpaper Citi- Izen, and is, excepting this note, from the types as we found them. It will be valuable hereafter as curiosity" Where then was Brother Swords, he of warlike name and pen? The sen | tence-'sfrom the types as we found I them '-hints at a vacant chair, a de- serted galley, and an idle printing press. Who wrote this cheerful but not over boastful closing note? There is noth- ing to tell us, but it is evident that to him this short-lived '.Citizen" owes its lexistence. As to his prediction, that Ihas been amply verified.
 TWO BELLS.
 They have carried The Bell home at last-the dear, blessed, cracked old In dependence bell!
 It has been an object of great interest at the Atlanta Exposition and as it hung in it's frame upon the spacious loggia of the Penn sylvania State building it had daily been the center of an eager ring of spec tators, who peered at the historic crack or slowly circled around it to read the famous inscription: Proclaim liberty throughout the land to all the inhabi- tants thereof"
 It was the grand final scene in the history of the Cotton States Exposition when the old Liberty Bell started upon the homeward journey. It's platform securely spiked to a flat car, it stood wreathed about with the most beautiful of roses and powered in the freshest and brightest of evergreens, while flags and banners auttered gaily in the clear morning sunshine. The two com mittees, prominent and important citi- zens of Philadelphia and Atlanta, were standing on guard, and four ponderous policemen from the Quaker City were guarding the committees, when amid the rattle of artillery, the shrieks of whistles, the clangor of bells and the cheers of the assembled crowd, the tri- umphal progress began.
 Everywhere it was heartily welcomed cannon boomed and voices were uplift- ed, as in it's way across the Carolinas it paused here and there so that all might look upon it and take to heart a new lesson of loyalty. At the Revolutions ry battle ground of Guilford Court House, where the graves of John Penn and William Hooper, two signers of the Declaration of Independence, it paused awhile; then was borne on past Monti- cello where rests the man who framed the spirited sentences of that immorta document; across the Potomac, by many historic point, and so, on and on, until it reached in safety the City o1 Brotherly Love. There, more uproari ous joy, more exultant delight, and, fo, the Atlanta delegation, warmer wei come than the most enthusiastic could have nticipated-alarrningl gly warm il fact. So at last, the Liberty Bell came to its own again. to go no more out for ever, for the Philadelphians declare tha never again will they part with theil most precious possession.
 That was bell number one. Bell mum Der two was a small bell--about school. house size. It also was defective, al though it was not cracked. There was no particular fuss over it when it came no banquets, no flowers, no flags and nc furry when it went away. Standing 1T a corner of the Georgia State building it attracted no particular attention, and lyet it was an interesting old bell, and its period of active service was longer than that of the more famous one.
