HISTORY OF DECLARATION.
A Valuable Book Published by Order
of Congress-.

A Valuable Book Published by Order
of Congress.
Colonel William II. Michael, chief
clerk of the state department, by order
Of congress, published in March last a
book giving an illustrated history of
the Declaration of Independence, with
the biographs and portraits of the sign
ers and the secretary of the congress.
The illustrations include not only pho
tographs Of the famous state paper in
its present decayed condition, but also
a number Of photographs taken when
the document was in a better state Of
preservation.
The volume was prepared primarily
as an aid to those in charge of the ex-
hibit of the department Of state at ex-
positions In explaining that part Of the
exhibit relating to the Declaration Of
Independence. The series Of portraits
Of the signers Is complete, and there is
an interesting facsimile Of the broad
side copy Of the Declaration signed by
John Hancock, president Of the con-
gress, for and on behalf OF the mem
bers Of congress, attested by Charles
Thomson, secretary. Especially inter
esting is the correspondence relating
to the Declaration which is given.
Because of the historic value Of the
work Of Colonel Michael, congress or
dered the book printed as a govern
ment publication.

swinging softly to and fro, told his

the most indulgent man that ever lived.
He'd give me anything in the world
that I wanted whether he could afford
1t or not, only he had an original sys-

being ruined by indulgence of his chill

steamboat once without costing him

on the head and told me could have 1t,
adding, however, that I must never
take It away from the river or try to
run 1t myself. That satisfied me.

ser Cascade To do this properly
set my eye upon a fish pond not far
from the town hall. 1t was a very deep
pohd ana about mile in circumfer-
ence. Putty blowers were then selling
at nVe Tor a cent, and powder was
cheap as sand owing to the fact that
tue powder makers, expecting a war,
nao made hundred times as much as
was needed, and as the war didn't
come they We're willing to take almost
anything they could get for it. The
consequence was that the powder / got
was suncient in quantity to fill a
rubber bag as large as FIVE sofa cush-
ions.
This I sank In the middle of the
pond. without telling anybody what
intended to do, and through the putty
blowers. sealed tightly together, end to
enc, conducted fuse, which made

on to any one that 1 was the person
who had blown the pond off. How high
the pond went don't know, but do
know that for week there wasn't any
sign Of II, and then, most unexpectedly,
out of what appeared to be clear sky
there came the most extraordinary
rainstorm you ever saw. It literally
poured down for two full days, and,
what alone could understand, with it
came trout and sunfish and minnows,
and, most singular to all but myself. an
old scow that was recognized as the
property Of the owner of the pond sud-

speed. When l saw the scow coming 1

nateiy, however, this possible disaster
was averted, for 1t came down directly
over the sharp point lightning rod on
the tower of our public library and
stuck there like a piece Of paper on a
pin.
THE rain washed away several acres
OF cultivated farms, but the loss of
crops and fences and so forth was
largely reduced by the fish which came
with the storm. One farmer took q
rake and caught 800 pounds Of trout
forty pound of sunf1sh, eight turtles
and minnow in his potato patch in
five minutes. Others were almost as
fortunate, but the damage was sufi-

SECRETARY SEWARD.

His Influence Upon the Foreign POI
icy Of This Country.
The Importance of Secretary Sew
ards influence in the domestic affairs
of the United States during Johnson's
administration has probably been ex-
aggerated, but 1t would be hard to ex-
aggerate the importance Of what he
achieved and Of what he initiated In
his own proper field Of diplomacy. His
chief, occupied as he was with fierce
controversies over other subjects,
found, we may well suppose, but little
time for foreign relations. He does not
appear to have interfered with policies
which were already adopted or to have
initiated any new policies Of his own.
Seward must therefore be held respon-
sible to q degree somewhat unusual
for the conduct OF the delicate negotia-
lions. involving very far reaching con-
sequences, which the war gave rise 90.
1t was he who first presented America
to Europe In that attitude Of conscious
strength which the thorough establish
ment OF our nationality at last enabled
Us to take. 1t was he who reasserted
effectively, yet without any arrogance,
our traditional stand In reference TO
the Latin republics to the south Of IN.
1t was he who. facing westward, &C
complished an expansion Of our sys-
tenn into a region never contemplated
until bis day by those who guided our
destinies and turned our thoughts up
on the shores Of the Pacific as a field
for American trade and American In
fuence. = William Carrot Brown in
