July q, 1894.

The peace treaty between the United
Colonies and Great Britain, signed at
Paris, September 8, 1885, gave to the nation
all the territory claimed by it, and included
more than previously acknowledged to be
III dispute by Great Britain. The boundary
lines in the northwest were extended so as
to include what is now the greater part of
Wisconsin, all of the upper peninsula of
Michigan, and that part of Minnesota west
of the Mississippi. In the south long,
narrow strip of territory was ADDED to the
southwest corner of Georgia. The exact.
amount of territory included within these
concessions cannot be given, as the exact
area Of the colonies previously is not known,
but in 1884, the territory in which July was
a holiday, amounted to S27 S44 square miles.
The exact population at this time is not
known, but emigration had already set in
toward the west. and the day was appro-
priately observed in a much wider terri
tory than it had been in 1776. Hardy pioneers
had carried it westward into the Ohio val

THE TULIP MANIA.
Speculation In the Bulbs ia 1884
Caused the Loss of Many
Dutch Fortunes.

In these sober days, when The tu-
lip, the queen of spring flow ers, is 10
be bought and sold as cbeaply rs
three shillings per hundred, it may
seem hard to realize that time was
when a single bulb would fetch as
much as G250 to 6 500. Yet it is too
true that, in the days OF old, stolid
and phlegmatic Dutchmcn absolute
ly lost their heads land their wealthy
in bulb buying and collecting, says
London Amateur Gardening. 1t was
in the year 1884 when our brother
Dutchmen became pad on tulips
This craze took hold Of all classes,
rich and poor, learned and ignorant;
though, of course, the rich were able
to collect the largest and best selec-
tions, only, in due time, to find them
selves ruined when bulbs once more
fell to their normal onion-price value.
AS everybody was crazy in the eager
ness to purchase tulips, the price rose
enormously. Diamonds and precious
stones were regarded as trash in
comparison with a few good bulbs.
Those were the halcyon days of the
growers and bulb merchants. Many
made their fortunes, though some
came cropper with the buyers, in
the inevitable smash which was not
long in ensuing. As much as 6 10000
is accredited to having been given for
collection Of 40 roots. The craze
dropped as quickly as it arose, and
when the fictitious prices began TO
drop Holland was plunged into
state of financial difficulty even worse
than that which prevailed in England
at the bursting of the South sea buo-
BILE, or of that in France during the
revolution.

July A, 1776.

When on July 4, 1776, that most historic
of all days in the life Of the American re-
public, the continental congress, in ses-
sion in Philadelphia, declared THAT these
United Colonies are, and of right ought to
be free and independent states" they spoke
for less than 100000 people. The terri
tory covered by the original Is colonies, in
which the first Fourth of July was cele-
brated was about 100000 square miles in
extent though scarcely one-fifth of this
could be said to be Inhabited other than
by savages, and much of it had never been
visited by white men. 1t extended from
the Atlantic on the east to the Mississippi
on the west, to Florida on the south, and
to Maine on the northeast and to a little
north of the present northern boundary of
Illinois, on the northwest. The map shows
the political divisions claimed by the diff
ferent colonies.

A Large Amount Has Been Granted
to Public Uses by the State
of WashinStOn

After nearly ID years of work
State Land Commissioner Calvert, of
Washington, announces that of the
667,0S0 acres of land granted the state
of Washington by the enabling act of
1889 all have been selected with the
exception of 3,161 acres. These will be
selected during the coming summer

100000 acres to select. Owing to the
scarcity of remaining government
lands it is doubtful if the state can re-
cover very large portion of the school
lands thus lost.

the tyranny of King George Ill. With al
of our distinctively national holidays there
is a sentiment; it is a sentiment that makes
them possible; that sets them apart as me-
mortal day in each year of our history; but
the sentiment to which we give expression
with such evidences of JOY as the boom
of the hrecracker, the whizz of the rocket,
is the sentiment that will outlive all other
of our national sentiments.
Ard this Fourth of July sentiment has
proven to be an expanding sentiment. 1t
has followed the flag, and wherever cold
Glory" has been unfurled there has July
been a holiday, dear to the hearts of the
people When the old liberty bell at Phila-
delphia proclaimed to the anxious populace
that their chosen representatives had set
their names to that document which pro-
claimed forever our separation from Eng
land, and made of them nation among
nations, it aroused within the hearts of the
cOlonists a new love of freedom. Before
that day they had been fighting only for
their rights as colonlsts, after that they
fought for their rights as men-as peo-
pie 1t instilled a new sentiment in the
hearts of the American people, a senti-
ment that has pushed steadily westward
with advancing settlement. The hardy pio-
neers who crossed the Allegheny noun
tains carried the sentiment with them into
the valley of the Ohio; they planted it on
the west banks of the Mississippi when
the Louisiana territory became ours; they
carried it into Texas, California and the
northwest as new acquisitions broadened
our territorial area.
And wherever this sentiment has been
planted in the past it has fourished. 1t
has attained as vigorous growth west of
the Mississippi as it has east of it; it is
to-day as much an Institution, as much
part of the years life of the people of Cal
ifornia, once Mexican soil, in Washington,
once English soil, in Florida, once Span
ish soil, as it is at its birthplace in Phila-
delphia.
