CONNECTICUT DAY AT BUFFALO

CONNECTICUT DAY AT BUFFALO.
 The Buffalo Commercial speaks thusly of the celebration of Con- necticut Day, June 90:
 Buffalo people this afternoon saw spectacle quite as impressive and brilliant, as any-1 v messed hersi in years. It was the formation sand march of the procession of Connect icut Foot Guards, who acted as an escort to Governor Mclean of Con- necticut and a number of the little New England States most distin- guished men. There are not in this country two more prominent military bodies than the First Company of Governors Foot Guards of Hartford and the Second Company of Foot Guards of New Haven.
 "The formality was arranged in celebration of Connecticut Day, and 1t is to the credit of the little State that she made such a dashing and impressive display. It is questiona- ble if any other State in the Union, large or small, will do more than Connecticut did; it is certain that no finer display will be made.
 'Hurrah for Connecticut led some one. This was the signal for a loud and prolonged cheer. A mo- ment later the parade was off.
 Colts Military Band of Hartford. led by Scott Snow, was at the head of the Hartford company, under command of Major Louis R. Cheney. Major William C. Steele, the drum major of the famous organization, waved his stick just as he has waved 1t for thirty-fve years or more, and the musicians struck up a stirring march. s
 ''In the line were men with mil lions, men with genealogies running back into Colonial times and cross ing the ocean into old England; men whose fathers were generals in the Revolutionary army, men who were colonels, majors, captains and pri- yates in the armies which fought in the Civil War.
 Ut was subject of quite general comment that the biggest and most brilliant event of the Exposition was inspired and carried out by one of the smallest States in the Union; but persons familiar with the ways of Connecticut did not marvel at the fact

Our Fourth of July Boy.

He started out early, dear little boy, With seventeen packs and nice cannon toy, pistol for caps and torpedoes galore, And hundred and forty-nine pinwheels more. We hired man just to watch him at play And to follow his footsteps around all the day. Ten times in the morning he saved the dear's
 life, But was blown up himself and sent home to his
 wife. And at night, when they brought what was left
 of our boy, Our anguish tempered by small grains of joy For he said, as the powder was picked from his
 eye, sT wish at tomorrow was Fourth O July!' Then the doctors came round at our urgent re-.
 quest And tackled on his limbs where they fitted the
 best, But the kid only said, s'Id be willin to die Every day if twas only the Fourth O July!'' : 1s-NeY Yark EySniDg Sun.

Ear1y F0urfha In Boston. .

Edward Everett Hale tells of one of the earliest Fourth of July celebrations of his remembrance. It was that of the'year 1883, and on that day for the first time a great chorus of school chil- dren sang My Country, Iris of Thee" !"
 He speaks of a favorite poem of that day which was much in evidence on the Fourth. It was written by Royall Tyler, and it's beginning was:
 Squeak the fife and beat the drum,
 Independence day has come.
 It was just about this time that the character of the celebration of the an- niversary of the birthday of American independence began to change. Pa rades were held as usual, but noise be- gan to take the place of speeches, and in the larger towns of the reading of the Declaration of Independence, which had always been a feature of the cele- bration.
 The opening of trade with China brought in the small frecrackers, and American factories soon found the means of making big ones. Noise as- sumed the scepter and has reigned ever sincs7HosteR Glebs. = cSY~ ,s,,sz = -. =. v. >

Fourth of July Don,ts.


 Don't let the bells, when they awak- en you Thursday morning, lead you to think there is a general alarm of fire That will not come until later in the day. Don't trouble yourself to call your son and heir. There is one day in the year when he gets up without your as- sistance. Don't endeavor to add to the veIe- mence of the celebration by encourag- ing your dog to bark or mammals baby" to inform the world that it has job of tooth cutting on hand.
 Don't blow into the face of the light ed frecracker. It may resent the in- dignity by an unexpected demonstra- ton on it's part.
 Don't make a 6shmonger of yourself by going about blowing a tin horn.
 Don't worry Overmuch about the boy. 1t won't make him feel any more com fortable when he comes in with an eye in eclipse, and it is just possible your worry will be all for naught.
 Don't leave any of your fingers by the wayside. Other days are coming |Yhen you may have use for the entire outfit.-Selected.

HISTORY OF OUR FLAG.

How Betsy Ross and Congress Nm HIT Designed Old Glory. A brief history of the flag of the United States may be appreciated just here, as there are doubtless many whose views on the particulars of it's origin are a bit hay. Its history is our history and cannot but be inter- esting.
 In the time of the Revolutionary war there lived in little house on Arch street, Philadelphia, a young woman by the name of Betsy Ross. The little brick house still stands and is known as No. 239. It was the second house built in Philadelphia, its bricks coming over with William Penn in the ship Welcome.
 Betsy Ross was known as an expert needlewoman and had made a. reputa- ton at her calling, it is said, by mak- ing the ruff1es for the shirts of General Washington. So when congress, in TIT, appointed a committee, with the general thereon, to design a flag, the committee very naturally went to her.
 They made rough draft of the flag, the design consisting of alternate red and white stripes and 13 six pointed stars on a background of blue. This was shown her, and she suggested the substitution of the five pointed stars. Her suggestion was approved.
 The color of the stripes was possibly suggested by the red flag of the army and the white flag of. the navy in use some time previously.
 The flag was adopted by congress on June 14, TIT. Betsy soon after mar ried John Maypole, and for many years they held the contract for mak- ing flags for the fleet in the Delaware. There is a record in the treasury of an order dated May, TIT, to pay Betsy Ross E14 12s. 2d. for making flags for the Delaware river fleet.
 And what of Betsy Maypole? Her nimble fingers are dust now, and her bones lie in Mount Moriah cemetery. She lived to the ripe age of 84 and died in 1886, but the flag of the Union, way ing forever, will keep her memory green.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
