The telegraph story Of the aTriva:

pathetic statement. The story tells
of the meeting Of the prosecuted
officer and his wife. He went away

would scarcely have recognized him
had she met him On the street. France
may give Dreyfus his freedom, but it

The Fourth Day OF July was cele.

madea day to order, with just enough

first streak of daylight the younee,
element OF the patriotic American had

pie. He slept in the place the follow
ing night. In the morning while TAX
ing his coffee in front of a cafe, he
saw at a distance several American
soldiers cautiously approaching the
place, lodging behind bushes, and
watching for the enemy. These were
followed by a cautious skirmish line,
and behind them were the regular
forces. On entering the town. without
being repulsed, they discovered the
conqueror, Crane, quietly taking his
coffee and acting as the absolute ruler
Of it. He turned the town over TO the
troops.
This audacity was often exhibited
during the Civil war, in the encoun-
ters between the Union and Confeder-
ate soldiers, and illustrated the force
Of individual character. The gamblers
call 1T bluff" and it is said to be the
most valuable asset in the game of
poker"

time, give the world a story founded

CELEBRATING.

The San Francisco Chronicle says:
The manner of observing the gr 2atest
holiday on the national calendar, or
rather. the traditional manner OF OBJ
serving it, is essentially Chinese.
What other great nation celebrates its
great days in such a childish and ri
diculous fashion? Where is the man
or woman above the rudimcrta ry
stage of development who wants to
express a patriotic or any othe.' emo

The Chronicle seems to- forget that
the Fourth is now mainly the o.
caSion for amusing the children,
and gazing upon the marvellous bril-
liancy of fireworks. Besides, it is
midsummer holiday. The celebration
OF the day has little connection with
the event of the Declaration of indie
pendence. The majority of sensible
people do not need the stimulus of
noise and fireworks to recall any great
religious event. The effect of the Dec
laration has passed into the common
habit and thought of the people, and
becomes a part of the unconscious life
of the nation. 1t needs no direct and
formal expression any more than the
individual needs, once year, to call
his family together and announce that
the day has arrived for recognizing
the solemn Importance of the digestive
apparatus, and that after some re-
marks by an eloquent speaker, there
will be fireworks in the evening in
| honor of the stomach.
The principles set forth in the Dec
| laration are now the substantial pO-
| litical digestive apparatus of the ma
ton, and the time has passed when
there is any special need of calling
| the attention Of the nation to it, un-
less it is badly out of order and needs
some patent medicines in the form of
the noise cure
| Still there is a considerable part of
| every community who, like the dar-
| kieS who must have a distinctly
shouting" religion, cannot obtain the
inspiration of patriotism unless they
hear fire crackers and see rockets.
