paper is called the organ of the anti
lmperialists, an estimable gentleman
who recently settled in the city took
SO little interest in national affairs
that he knew nothing of these things.

city to determine what should be done
to celebrate the Fourth of July, this
estimable gentleman arose and seri-
ously proposed that one of our lead
ing citizens, Samuel Bowles, be asked
to read the Declaration of Independ-
ence in some public place on that
day, when every man wants to show
his loyalty to his country"

side and quietly explained to him that
