wAsHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY.


This day, 80 justly dear to all true
Americans, was celebrated in This town
10 e style heretofore unprecedented.
The Editor ngrets that he does Lot
possess talents to describe the proceedings
in the manner which they deseFYe.
The public will, however, pass by any
defects in style, and do him the justice
10 believe that did he possess the chas'e
Language Of Addhon, combined with the
cresiive imagination of a Shakespeare,
he would feel himse honored and happy
in using them on this occasion.
Aurora rose with more than common
spleudour, as If wishing to assist 10 the
tribute of respect paid to our hoary
chief. She was ushered in by a dis
charge from the Alexandria Artillery,
and a federal salute from the armed
schooner Neptune, under the command
of Capt. Abel Willis. About 10 O'Clock
he following corps met in the court
house square, under the respected COM

Shortly after the general came into

able to arrangements previously made,
three companies OF infantry we're en-
bsrked on board the Neptune, the Trial,
and Mercury, in order to act as an in-
vading enemy, The remaining troops
marched to the Mall, when the rihsmen
and detachment OF artillery we're dis
patched to protect the fort, and act
against the foe. When the Neptune
came abreast of the fort, she received
three rounds, which she returned,
silenced the guns, and pulled up the
river in order to effect laudiDg-the
rihemep iu the meantime running along
shore, endeavoring to pick the men of
the shronds, and the artillery keeping
up a FIRE at her. When she came op

landed on it, the Neptune covering th'
debarkation, where they we're opposed by
those on shore, aud we're eventually
Obliged to take to their boats. A land

up King street, on which street, at thI

THE SNOW MOUNTAIN.

1t was reported years ago that a
snow crowned mountain, more than
10000 feet high, had been seen in
the far interior of New Guinea. AS
the description of the mountain was
vague and corroboration of the re-
port was lacking the story came to
be regarded as mythical.
Perhaps, however. it was founded
on fact. The fine snow mountain
just discovered in the eastern part
of Dutch New Guinea may be the
summit that was so meagrely herald
ed, though the peak which II. A. Lo-
rentz has seen is not so high by a
mile as that was reported to be, fol
it's eliminating point is said to be
only 14,7OO feet above the sea level.
Its estimated elevation, however, Is
subject to correction, because its
height was only roughly computed
at long distance. Mr.. Lorentz has
named the mountain Wilhelmlna
Peak, in honor of the Queen of the
Netherlands. A picture of it. taken
at a distance of fifty miles, shows
SranQ summit TluSe, lHe upPoi Poi
of which, all that could be seen OF 1t
above the ridges intervening between
the explorer and the mountain, was
entirely covered with snow.
This is the latest discovery of the
Dutch in the vast eastern section OF
their colony, which except along the
coasts has until recently been a
blank on the maps. For two years,
however, while exploration has been
at a standstill in British and German
New Guinea, the Dutch have been
busily studying the eastern part OF
their domain. The region is so vast
that they have made only a good be-
ginning in the work Of revealing it
but they have found the Digoel
Neard and other large rivers and
have proved that the Charles Louis
range of lofty mountains extends fal
to the east. 1t is in the eastern part
Of this range that Wilhelmina Peak
has been discovered more than foul
degrees south of the equator.

cent of the Noord River when the

play it while wearing her prettiest
party frock without the slightest dan
ger of mussing it.
Two players only are required.
They sit at opposite sides Of table.
and any sized table will do. Before
each girl is little plate or saucer.
Each girl has large bone button in
the place of a ping-pong bat, and q
smaller button is used in the place OF
a ball. One player starts the game
by pressing with her large button on
the edge of the small button, causing
it to snap across the table very much
as in the Odd game of tiddle-de-w1nks.
She tries to make the button land in
the other girls saucer. When the
button has landed and has stopped
rolling the other player has a turn.
She snaps 1t back and tries to make
it land in her opponents saucer. II
a player snaps the button off the ta-
BILE her opponent scores two points.
If the button does not go more than
half way across the table her oppo-
nent scores two points. If the button
comes to rest against the saucer the
girl making the shot scores five
points; if the button should land in
the saucer and slip out again she
scores seven points. A lucky shot
causing the button to remain in the
saucer scores ten points for the play
er making it. twenty-five points is a
game The players take turns snap
ping the button. Grown people as
well as youngsters find lots of fun in
this game, which is a model evening
pastime.-Good Literature.

The Song Cure.

That the exercise given to the
lungs in singing is valuable in the
prevention and cure of diseases of
those organs is asserted by two Eng
lish physicians, DR.. Leslie and DR..
Horsford: They consider that song
treatment would be useful to Cd
persons in whom, either from family
predisposition or from individual
weakness or abnormality of the chest,
the onset of pulmonary consumption
is to be feared; CD early cases OF
consumption as soon as the disease
becomes quiescent; 60 certain more
advanced cases where no active dis
ease or liberation is in progress. To
secure the desired end they suggest
that some public institution should
be founded, either independently or
as special department of our already
existing colleges of singing, and that
such institution should be open to
suitable cases referred from the hos
pitfalls. .''-Christian Work and Evan

Open-Eyed Blindness.

A certain doctor in Paris, who
bears the Appropriate name of Prompt,
has hit upon one of these experiences
that run common to the race, but go
unnoticed in all until some especially
observant body discovers and dis
courses upon the thing. In this in
stance the discoverer is DR.. Prompt,
and the phenomenon discovered is
that dizziness which assails you when
you walk-walk especially in high
places-in an expanse of fallen snow.
Everywhere, at every angle, on
every slant and level, the snow is of
one glaring CLINT Now we live by
relations We judge of the distance
of any object from us by the relative
distance of another. All the connec-
tions of our minds with the outer
world are made by sort of mental
triangulation.
But in an endless field Of snow, all
of a color, with no object in it dis
tinctly visible, this triangulation is
impossible. We are blind in day
time of dazzling brilliance! Alpine,
or mountain wanderers, suffer from
this more than all others. Many Of
them lose their lives in this snow
blindness They lose their bearings
and are gone. They even grow dizzy,
confused and fall down unconscious
in their vertigo.
The same sensation has been no.
ticed by men on entering a ladies'
hat store. Perspective vanishes. They
grow bewildered and terrified. They
often fall down pitiably, lose self
control and yield anything that is
asked of them.-Boston Transcript
God helps them that help them
selves.-Franklin

Creation of a Knight.

The ceremonies at the creation of
a knight have been various; the pr1n-
cipal were a box on the ear and a
stroke with sword on the shoulder.
John Salisbury tells us the blow with
the naked fist was in use among the
ancient Normans; by this it was that
William the Conqueror conferred the
honor of knighthood on his son
Henry. 1t was afterward changed
into a blow with the fiat of the sword
on the shoulder of the knight.
