popular chord full and strong, the ship,
as it afterward appeared, was saved.
No one could help thrilling with indig-
nation at those lines:
1.-THE harpies of the shore shall pluck
The eagle Of the SEAL
and the navy department acquiesced
to the popular demand. 1t was some
time after this that it was found that
in order to keep afloat the Constitu
ton at all the ship would have TO be re-
built. Accordingly she was docked at
Charlestown, in the first dry dock
erected in the country, and rebuilt on
her own lines. Only the keel and keel
son of the old ship remained.
The commandant of the navy yard
was then Commodore Elliot and ardent
federalist and great admirer of Jack
son. In the rebuilding, therefore, the
former figurehead of the Constitution,
one of an allegorical character, was re-
placed by one modelled in likeness to
President jackson. This was done in
spite of n vehement protest by Commo-
dore Hull, who had charge of the un-
docking, but who was powerless before
the approval of the change by Mahlon
Dickinson, secretary of the navy, and
rs good federalist, il not "a better,
than Elliot.
As soon, however, as the public knew
of the'change, which was as soon as the
new Constitution was launched in 1894,
there was almost as loud protest as
that in 1880 upon the report of the in
tended destruction of the old ship.
Feeling ran especially high in New Eng
land and was increased in force by the

 There is probably no man in the Par " Sound district who has done more for the mining industry than MT. McGown. He is the discoverer, and for him the McGown mine was named. This is one of the best paying properties in the dis trict, but, like all of the mines in the territory, had hard time to find the necessary capital to work it. In fact, it was not until capitalists from the United States became interested in the minerals of Parry Sound that sufficient capital was found to work this proper ty. Last spring this mine was pur- chased by capitalists from St. Paul and Duluth, who have worked it all of the past summer. They paid $11o,o0o for the property, and so rich has it proven that but few weeks ago the new pro- prietors were offered clear million dollars for it, which they refused.

The management of the national Ex- port exposition at Philadelphia. in its desire to have an aggregation of Amer ican" villages, have run across an unex- pected obstacle with reference to the Philippine village.
 An agent of the exposition has cabled from Manila that while all the access sories in the way of bamboo, palms, fruits, moss, etc., have been shipped from the islands, he has found it i'm possible to secure the native families to make the village complete. The intel llgent Filipinos, he writes, are too in- dependent to accept any terms he has proposed, while the ignorant natives, who would do just as well for exposi- ton purposes, refuse to being taken aboard the ships, fearing that death awaits them in America.
