BIsBEE. Feb. II, 1856. TiiE STARRING MATCH.

The Harrington and Grady glove contest at the Rink Wednesday was a success in every particular. The house was large and apperciative one and the contestants treated their audience to as neat an exhibItion as may be seen any where. Grady though short in wind and in poor condition generally had the better of his appo- nent from the start. He outclassed Harrington in science and generslship by long odds. Harrington knew he was overmstched in the second round but he stayed with bulldog persistence and took punishment like Spartan when Grady landed crashing blow on Hsrrington's ribs that would have made most men quit, Jimmy only smiled and tried to hide his distress. Jimmy is inexperienced but he is game clean through. At the eight round referee Finlaysou gave the de- cision in favor of Grady.

COPPER.

The Engineering and Mining Jour nal says: The market has not been very active, but the improvement has been fully maintained. That trans actions have not been very numerous is accounted for by the fact that the producing companies are all more or less we'll eoli ahead and therefore un- willing to enter into further contracts. except at considerably higher prices, which. however, manufacturers are not vet wiling to pay and will not be until they receive crders on a larger scale than has SO far been the case. There is, however. decided improve ment in the manufacturing line and indications all pcin; toward further development in that direction.
 Orders from abroad show a material falling of, which is not surprising, in asmuch as large quantities Of copper were bought prior to the advance. The probability is ;hs. before long further supplies will have to be covered in o UT market, and this, coupled with an i'm provement in the demand from home manufacturers, is likely to establish still higher values than are ruling al the present time.

A Day Of Great Noise.

The evolution of Fourth Of July has
carried the celebration Of the national
anniversary 50 far away from the old
standards that it has ceased To have any
close reference to the stirring events it
was intended to commemorate. Had the
signers Of the Declaration any idea Of
what would occur on July 4, 1895, it is
possible they might have hesitated be-
fore they affixed their names To that
document. John Adams, it is true, rec
commended that the day should be OBJ
served with great noise, but it il like
ly that the old patriot had in mind the
ringing of bells, the firing of cannon
and the patriotic shouts Of vast multi
tudes, rather than the Juvenile pande-
monium which is now about all that is
left Of Fourth Of July celebrations. -

tant than the man who bosses the bar

man who stirs the lemonade, who in
turns shoots out the lip at him who puts
up the swings as fellow Of low occu-
patton and worthy Of no consideration.

fact, it communicates some Of its great

Americanism should be the distinctive
quality Of American life. Patriotic i'm
pulse should be not only our hope and
reliance for the future, but the specific
means by which we shall seek to ele-
vate, develop, fiex and exalt the worlds
life. The stars and stripes-the symbol
of self government, Of individual re-
sponsibility as well as individual op-
portunity and equality-has done more
for humanity than American commerce,
American wealth, American charity.
American schools, American prosperity,
more than all other things American,
because it is the beacon lamp which in
vites all the world not to come To this
free land, but to make other lands free
and make universal the American idea
Of government BY the people and for
the people Selected.

THE COLOR GUARD.
There were waving handa and banners !,

There were waving hands and banners as the
crowded car rolled by,
There were shouts from merry children ring
ing to the summer sky;
Then strain of music rose and swelled and
pealed along the street,
AS their gay, tumultuous clamOr melted in a
chorus sweet;
"Ob, say. can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight
last cleaning;
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through
the perilous fight,
Ger the ramparts we watched were so gal
lantly streaming?"
Ali the starry flag is glorious, and the chill
dren love it too,
And the land is safe and happy where the chill
dren's hearts are true.
How their youthful ardor thrilled me, as the
revelation came
That the guard is ever changing, but the flag
remains the same!
We were born too late for glory, but we still
in memory keep
Stirring echoes from the battlefields where
warrior fathers sleep.
We have held the flag as ours, but, iol the years
are passing by,
And a newer generation waves the stars and
stripes on high.
Better thus, for now the rancors Of the strife
no more appan,
And the children know no faction, and the flag
belongs to all.
Be it so. We yield the prestige, for the new
guard comes apace
With the strength of youthful millions, loyal
purpose in its face.
Flag of peace or flag of battleI Children, it is
yours to Lowell
Will you honor and defend it as the gift Of
God above?
Ali the children's hearts are loyal From a
myriad array
North and south there comes the answer, as it
came that summer day:
"Then conquer we must, when our cause it is
just,
And this be our motto. in God is our trust Y
And the star spangled banner in triumph shall
Ger the land of the free and the home of the
brave"

Here il a sample Of the style Of the
old time Fourth Of July orator. Itrefers
to the signers Of the Declaration:
Behold those iron hearted men arm
ed with dauntless valor and incased in a
panoply that no human force could shat
ter, and in readiness for battle, stalk
boldly forward, and with one stroke Of
the pen cause a vibration that shall only
cease to be felt when the universe re-
turns to primeval chaos Then listen, in
imagination, to the vociferous and long
continued huzzas that rent the welkin-
to the boom Of cannon and the universal
ringing of church bells, which an
nounced to an intensely interested world
the never to be forgotten fact that indie
pendence of kingly and monarchical tyr
amy had been declared with trumpet
tongue and would henceforth prevail
and conquer, till every individual hu-
man being would, and Of right ought to
be, forever free Selected

LINCOLN AND JACKSON.
Two Patriots Whose Names should Never
he Forgotten.

BE Forgotten.
Lincoln owed nothing to his birth,
everything TO his growth; had no train
ing save what he gave himself; no
nurture, but only wild and native
strength. His life was his schooling,
and every day Of it gave to his charac-
ter new touch Of development His
manhood not only, but his perception
also, expanded with his life. His eyes,
as they looked more and more abroad,
beheld the national life and compre-
hended it, and the lad who had been 50
rough cut provincial became, when
grown to manhood, the one leader in
all the nation who held the whole peo-
pie singly in his heart-held even the
southern people there and would have
won them back. And so we have in him
what we must call the perfect develop
ment of native strength, the rounding
out, and naturalization of the provin-
cial Andrew jackson was type. not
of the nation, but of the west. For all
