England, In the midst of victories,
heard with dismay of the loss of an
entire army. The Americans gained
5000 muskets and large train of
artillery.
France recognized American inde-
pendence and sent large fleet and
supplies of clothing arms and NUM-
tons Of war to their aid; and Gen.
Clinton, who had superseded Gen.

Spain and then Holland Joined In
the war against England and aided
the Americans. But the king and par.
lament were determined to maintain
the honor of the crown and the In.
tegrity Of the empire. In 1880, 5000
seamen and $4,000 additional troops
were sent to America, and a strong
effort was made to subjugate the Caro-
linas, where the war assumed a bitter
partisan character and was conducted
with spirit by Sumpter, Marion and
other southern chieftains. Lord Corn
wallis with large army marched
from Charleston through North Caro-
lima pursuing and sometimes defeating
the American general Gates. Worn

army Of Americans and French, waited
for Sir Henry Clinton to send him
relief from New York. October 10,
1881, he was compelled to surrender
his army Of 1000 men-an event which
produced such change Of feeling in
England as to cause the resignation
Of the ministry and the dispatch of
Gen. Sir Guy Carleton to New York
with offers of terms of peace. The
preliminaries were signed at Paris
Nov. 30, 1852, and on Sept. 3. 1888,
England concluded peace with France.

Birth Of Declaration.
This resolution, after an earnest
debate, was adopted by the votes OF
the delegates Of nine out of the thir-

SABBATH DAY" NOT SUNDtY
Modern Writers Display an Amazing

In English there is not a more def

with an amazing carelessneSs as q
synonym for Sunday. The writer's and
translators of the New Testament use
sabbath correctly, says a writer in the
Brooklyn Eagle.
1t is always Hebrew and in no IN
stance is 1t associated with the New

sally known as Christianity. Indeed
the apostles were severely rebuked by
The Jews fer breaking the sabbath
Christians cannot break the sabbath,
for they do not have it TO break,
Sabbath and Sunday ace observed
on separate days, but this is not nee
essary, as astronomy shows that the
identity of days from year to year is
impossible; since the year ana day
are ncommensurable. The leap years
show that any given date varies II
day; even this does not correct the
dates, as other corrections-the cen
turlal leap years-become necessary.
There is n still deeper reaSo> for dis
curding the severity Of the sabbath,
namely, our seyen.day week is I'M

stated that for once there is n tre-
