As far the stocks coming to Kuhn, Loeb

not to let the shorts suffer by the corner which

With flower and fruit. with bird and

And starry dust its worth avow,

There were anxious hearts at the

war closed; and Maj. Crawford himself
came back to his plantation. which he

cape from capture and turning the

she carried a memento of that day in

Dacy's belt in the affray. and which
she ever after wore as an ornament in

FEBRUARY ~, 1888.
First Celebration of Washington'a
Birthday-One of the Oldest of
Holidays.

We may reckon February % as one
of our oldest holidays, for though no
Legislature had at that time set it apart
as legal holiday, the regular celebra-
tion of Washington 5 birthday began in
1888, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. On
February % of that year a party Of
gentlemen met in a tavern in New York.
One of them had written an ode on
Washington, another brought list of
tracts, still others had prepared
speeches. There was great feasting,
patriotic toasts were drunk, and be-
fore the company went home they
agreed to meet together on every com
ing February %, in honor of their coun-
try's chief. Other little knots of friends
followed their example, and before long
the celebration became general.
Though not publicly recognized, wher-
ever there were score or more houses,
the people gladly devoted at least a
few hours of the day to jollity and good
cheer. Even the fisherman left his nets
by the sea, the carpenter his workshop,
the good housewife laid aside her knit
ting, and the shopkeeper left up his
shutters; best of all, the master on that
day kept no school.
The celebration of the day gradually
grew in Importance till in the begin
ming of last century it was almost the
most distinguished day of the year.
Every theater on that day brought out
some new play and made itself gay with
flags and transparencies. Taverns
spread their best cheer. There were
balls and bonfires, barbecues, and can
nonading, bell ringing, feasting and
toasts. y glance over the Gazettes and
Advertisers of that period shows that it
was quite the end of March before they
ceased to publish accounts of the fes-
tivities which had taken place in every
city and town in the land.
Washington was born before the
adoption in England of the Gregorian
calendar, and was, therefore, born on
February II, old style. For long time
some of his most ardent admirers per-
sisted in celebrating this day rather
than the 22d. We find as late as 1896
certain counties, in which men of the
old school were unwilling to adopt the
new calendar, at least so far as con-
cerned the birthday of the father of
their country.

REFUSE TO SUICIDE.
Chinamen Decline TO Obey the Edict
Of Their EmperOr.

Pellin, Feb. 14-At least three of
the Chinese to whom Emperor Kwang
Su sent a choice of methods of sui
eide, in pursuance of the demand of
the powers for their punishment with
death, have declined to comply, and
the emperor has withdrawn his re-
quest that they should destroy them
selves.
His majesty now telegraphs Prince
Ching that when he agreed to the
terms of the joint note the latter
only required that the punishment
should fit the crime, and he argues
that if the worst of the guilty deserve
death, the others should be ban
ished.
The foreign ENJOYS, on the con-
trary, say that even those who are
least guilty deserve death, and, as
there is no worse punishment, all
must suffer the same penalty, al
;hough, If China should desire to
make distinctions regarding the
crimes, she can sentence the worst
either to quartering or to some other
forms of Chinese execution.
