1t was a mighty host that particle
mated in the grand land demonstration
n honor OF Admiral Dewey in New
YORK ON Saturday. The great national
hero seemed at times daEed by the tre-
,nendous scene. There were no lines
drawn. Every class of society repre-
sented In America was present 10 rem
der tribute. 1t is said there were mo-
ments when Admiral Dewey trembled
slightly and his eyes gllstened with
emotion. That was mainly when the
sailors and marines from his own Gag
ship olympia passed in review under
the great arch in the very shadow OF
which he sat. "And when his Ave cap
tains rode by, smiling and with barred
heads, there was no installing his agl-
tation."
Possibly no nation on the globe ever
gave to a returning hero so splendid
and 80 significant an ovation. Few have
been honored as has Admiral Dewey,
Few have accomplished an act so broad
Ia Its meaning 30 LaF@teoSIliH6 :"
effects. SO triumphant in its immediate
results. Few have been welcomed from
the scene of a magnificent exploit by
the exhibition of unanimous and spon-
taneous esteem and love of nation Of
seventy-fve million people. The like
Of 1t may never be witnessed in another
century,
How fitting it should be that the ell
max Of the history of the Nineteenth
century of progress and advancement
OF the greatest republic in the world,
should witness so suspicious an event
The glory of the history of one hundred
years passed illuminated in the grand
glorious homage paid to the man who
crowned that century with deed Of
courage and skill, which raised the esti-
nation Of the nation in the eyes of the
world, and won for heroic commander
q place at the head of the list of the
worlds famous sailors.

A Wise millionaire.

There was one New York millionaire
who was wise enough before his death
to take precautions 10 avert any trouble
about the settlement of his estate. 1t
was Mr.. Sylvester curtis, his end COM
ing last Monday, with him fully pre-
pared for 1t. Mr.. Curtis was informed
by his physician six months ago that
he had about that long to live. He went
on Wall street and babe his friends
farewell. All his personal property was
promptly converted into bonds, and
their value was over two millions Of
dollars.
A few days before his death, Mr.. Cur
tbs called together the members of his
family and distributed among them
these bonds, giving TO each Of them an
equal amount. He retained a million
Of dollars In real estate which wht be
divided among his heirs by the courts.
All requests will be from this part Of
his wealth.
In this action by Mr.. Curtis we find
a suggestion for wealthy men that
will avoid a vast amount OF trouble and
cost and business in the courts after
death takes them away. Recent con-
tests over large estates have shown
clearly how the wishes Of the testator
are sometimes dlsregarded. The time
to do what the testatOr desires is dur
ing his lifetime.

Harper's Weekly Of May 2. 1867: Men
OF Massachusetts, have you at all times
thoroughly appreciated and strenu-
ously co-operated to advance these
great purposes OF Providence? You
clearly perceived, and frankly, earnest
iy, powerfully contributed with VIr-
glnla to develop the great territorial
capacities Of the northwest. But were
you equally clear-sIghted in regard to
the not less important southwest? Did
you In feeling support Virginia there2
Did you not struggle to prevent the
acquisition Of Louisiana, the acquisition
Of Florida, the acquisition Of Texas, the
ACQUISITION OF California? Was not the
Union, as our fathers conceived 1t. thus
completed in spite Of you?
And yet, who profited first, who prof
tied next, who prohted constantly, by
each of these grand stnges OF the great
event? Was II not you. the men of
Massachusetts,, with your ships, your
manufactures, your mechanic arts and
your Intelligence? Nay, did you AOt
unconsciously, and. as II were, In de-
spite OF yourselves, potently contribute
with might ana Win VIII, US MdbsH-
ehusetts does whenever she acts. to the
contamination OF the great event, by
pouring your capital, your industry.
your inventive genius and your men,
| into each one Of the successive territor-
Ial accesslons to the Union? You did:
you could not help doing 1t; you are
strong and seif-wiiied, but the great
| event was stronger and more wilful
than you: and II snatched you up out
OF the depths Of unreasonable opposi-
tion to II, absorbed you Into Its vortex,
and when there, as with your virtues
and your lights you deservee to be, you
/ became the most efIicacious element Of
It's further progress.
Why is It so? Why Is 1t that for so
many years Massachusetts has perse-
yeringly opposed whatever Is, and per-
slstently endeavored to prevent, what

BoERs AND THEIR LANGUAGE.
some OF Their Words That We See
oftenest In Print,

Some or Their WORDS IhRt We 9ee
oftenest in Print.
The language of the Beers in South
Africa Is dramatically the language
of the people of holland. They speak
Dutch as their forefathers in Holland
spoke it ana speak 1t now. They are
called Beers because that Is Dutch
word which describes them. It means a
farmer, and agriculture is the main
pursuit Of the compatrlots of Dom
Paul. A knowledge Of Dutch would
supply an explanation of the odd-look-
ing words that are used now and then
in the news reports from the republic.
Il would also enable one to pronounce
these words as they should be endncia-
Dutch diphthongs are not given the
same sounds as their equivalent In
English. The double 20 for inotnnee IN
Dutch, has the same sound as 20" in
Rome. while the diphthong zoe" Is pro-
nounced BY the Dutch as we pronounce
''oo'' in boot. The English pronuncia-
tIon OF these two diphthongs is the re-
verse of that given them by those who
speak Dutch. And "ou" has the sound
n ''ow'' in owl. The sound Of ''ui' Is
nearly like that Of the English 10Y in
how, The Dutch double "aa" Is the
same as the English "a" in war. AS
there Is no "y" in Dutch It's place is Ia
ken by ''ij," which is sounded as y"
in defy.
Doom Paul properly he would say It as
II il were spelled "ome Powl." The
family name OF General Joubert would.
for the same reason. be pronounced as
II 1t were spelled "Yowbert. The word
Boer ID pronounced by the Afrikander
as II 1t were Of two syllables; the first
long and the second short. thus: Boo
err" The plural is not Beers" 1t Is
"Boeren," and 1t is pronounced "Bo-er-
en- !" because the final IN" IS siurIed.

General Miles expressed the sentI-

much credit to himself, when he said,
referring to the welcome of Admiral
Dewey: Nothing is more delightful
than the welcome home Of the sailor
and soldier, or anyone who has jour
neyed in distant lands, and especially
of one who has contributed to the fame
the glory and the welfare of his fellow
countrymen or his government" And
again: Admiral Dewey is greeted by
our people as true American, and
none extends to him more cordial greet

One Of the features Of the reception
of Dewey was the presentation to him
of the historic flag of Admiral Farra-
gut. 1t was a touching scene when, on
receiving this flag Of his former COM
mander, Admiral Dewey, with fearful
tenderness declared: IN fly It'll fly
IL" Possibly at no time In the worlds
history of naval warfare has such an
incident occurred. 1t Is likely that no
greater honor. save the promotion he
received, could be paid Dewey than this
simple act. 1t recognizes the worthi-
ness Of Dewey to succeed Farragut, his
old commander, and it will be held
among his most precious treasures
