THE FOURTH OF JULY.
Historic Celebration of the.,Day.
._._—
ax JAMES march.
In the early part of this century, an Eng-
lish lady, Mrs. Trollope, came over to th
country, and embodied her observationsin
two volumes of burlesque. '
She found very little to please her, but one
thing she did like—the manner of celebrating
the Fourth of July. She says that on thiit
day the Amer'can people seem to wake up
from a three ndred and sixty-four'days’
sleep, to be filled with genuine enthusiasm
to beireally' generous, or at least liberal, in
their expenditures.
Even up to the time when she wrote, the
bitter feeling, existing in the United States
toward England had by no means passed
away, and the recollection of the events cel-
ebrated seemed still perfectly fresbin the
publiezmind. '
The people were also more thoroughly
convinced of the success of their great under-
lakingthan they had been when Independence
Day was first celebrated. .
‘ The first Fourth, as an Irishn'i might
say,was celebrated on the eighth. The Fourth
of July, 1776, when the Declaration was
' signed. was Thursday, and it was not until‘
Monday that it was publicly read in Inde-
pendence Square.
That first celebration, who can realize it t
On Monday, at noon, the eighth, the Decla-
ration was read to a v t multitude by a
young man of stentorlan voice, who stood
upon a platform in Independence Square,
which had been erected some time before by
Prof. Ritfenhouse for the purposeof observ-
ing the transit of Venus. - . ' ‘
In the evening, the royal insignia of lien
and unicorn was brought down from the large
ball of the State House into the same square
and there burned, amid the cheers of the
crowd. '
' A copy of the Declaration, printed upon a
broad sheet, was sent to every State, and as
fast as the news reached them, similar scenes
occurred. It was read at the head cf every,
regiment, at every centre of population and
at every gathering of the people.
The records of many towns in New Eng-
land contain the entire document in' the best
penmanship the clerk could command.
Debtors were set free from prison; statues
of the King were overthrown; the lion and
unicorn were everywhere burnt, and so far
as any one could! see, the Declaration had
the unanimous and hearty approval of the
people.
A most touching fact of the time used to
be related to American guests by the poet
Rogers at his famous breakfastsabls inLon-
don. '
0n the morning when the Declaration of
Independence was printed .in.the:London pa-
pers, the poet's father at family prayers ad-
ded a short prayer of his own composition for
the success of the colonies, and herepeated
this prayer every morning through all the
gloomy scenes/of the war with unfailing hope
and trust, until the peace of 1782 was signed,
which conceded independence.
We'hsppen to know where. the author of
the Declaration spent a portion of that
memorable Monday, when the Declaration
was thilndered forth from the Bittenhouse
platform. -
Credible tradition reports that he was the
guest that day of Dr. Enoch Edwards at
Frankford, near Philadelphia, a villQe long
ago absorbed in the growing city, although
the name survives in Frankford Avenue.
Upon Dr. Edwards’ farm" thére was an el-
evation , called then Violet “Hill, now Elm
Hill, upon which he built a summer-house,
which still stands.
It is' a tradition of the family, that Mr..
Jefferson and a few other members or Con-
gress had a festive gathering in this old sum-
mer-house”, July 8, 1776, in honor of the au-
gust event which had occured on the prev-
ious Thursday. .
I do not believe that the little company in.
that summer-house were as jovial as the peo-
ple in Independence Square, who seemed to
think that independence was won, when it
had only been declared.
At that time, there were. arrayed against
the thirteen colonias a fleet of a hundred
armed vessels and-an army of fifty-five thou-
sand men,'backed by all the resources of the
British Empire. ' '
The first anniversary came round after a
year of mingled encouragement and gloom:
Strange to relate, the day was celebrated
everywhere in 1777 very much as it hasbeen
ever since.
In Boaton,for example, a suitable discourse
was delivered in one of .the churches, . There ‘
was a great assemblage on the Common of.
soldiers and civilians, allot whom joined in
drinking,— .
“Success to The Thirteen United States,"
while the grins upon Fort Hill, at Castle
Island, Hull and on the ships of war in the
harbor, filled all the region with smoke and
thunder.
' Then there was a salute of thirteen dis-
charges from brass cannon posted in Coasts"
Street, both guns and powder being of home
manufacture. _
At Philadelphia, the celebration was brill-
iant in the extreme. All the shipping W83.
dressed in flags and streamers. and every
vessel fired the magical number of thirteen
guns. There was a'magntficent banquet,-
attended by Congress, the State government,
officers of the army, and strangers of distinc?
tion. .
Read this. too, from a Philadelphia 110120!
of the week:
“The Hessian band of music. taken at
Tran ten the twenty-sixth of Member liti-
attended and heightened the festivities with
some fine performances suited to the joyous
occasion ; while a corps of British deserters,
taken into the service of the continent by the
State of Georgia, being drawn up before the
door, filled the intervals withfeucdejofh."
At Charleston, S. 0., the celebration. was
joyous and splendid, beyond anything ofithe
kind ever before seen in a city famous for
its pageantry.
The times that tried mens soul’s passed
away. Independence“ was gained and peace
returned.
It~was for many years the custom to select
the orator of the occasion from among the
young men of the legal profession.
Daniel Webster was one of these Fourth
of July orators. In the year 1800, when he
was eighteen years of .ige and a member of
the junior class of Dartmouth College, he
accepted an invitation of the citizens of Han-
over, the little village in which the college
is situated, to be their orator on the Fourth
of July.
It proved a memorable occasion for him.
The youthful orator, after bowing to the
magnates gathered on the platform, stood
forth to address thweople and .his fellow-
students. He was a tall and slender youth,
not robust, of .complexien unusually dark,
and his hair black as a raven's wing. W ith-
out being handsome,: he had three ' great
beauties : ‘ dark, deep-set, glowing eyes, a
magnificent forehead, and aingkrly fins
teeth. .
He began by addressing his audience as
“Countrymen, Brethren and Fathers." He
proced, in a weighty, deliberate way, to-
sketch the story of the Revolutionary strug-
gle, and then he came to speak of an exent
of recent date, fresh in theminds of all his
hearers, the death of Washington.
Young as he was, there is something in this
passage which calls to mind his later manner,
although parts of it bear the stamp of the
youth of eighteen. '
Just fifty-one years after, Mr. Webster
delivered the oration at the laying of the cor-
ner ,stone of the addition to the Capitol at
Washington, which was done July 4, 1851 , by
President Fillmore, in the presence of a great
concourse of people. ’
The threat of .secession had become fa-
miliar. It was not less alarming because
familiar, and the whole of this masterly
oration was a plea for t‘ union 'of these
States.
Two historic anniversaries of the Decla-
ration of Independence stand out conspicu-
ously in the records of the country. One was
the fiftieth, when, by a most strange coinci-
dence, its author, Mr. Jefferson, and its
most eloquent defender, John Adams. both-
yielded up their life. ‘ ‘ ‘
On the third of ,J uly, 1826, it was evident
to the family at Monticello, that Thomas
Jefferson was very near his end, and there
arose in all the household a desire that his
life might at least be prolonged till midnight
so that he might die on the great day itself.
He also wished it. D
At eleven in the evening he had a moment
of consciousness, when he asked,—
“This is the Fourth i"
His ‘attendant could not bear to say, No,
and therefore remained silent. In a very
faint whisper, Mr. Jefferson repeated,
"'This is the Fourth i”
The attendant nodded; and the dying man,
wearing an expression of pleasure, sank again
into unconsciousness. He lived until twenty
minutes to one in the afternoon of the Fourth
when he ceased to breathe.
John Adams lived a few hours longer. As
the sun was setting, the old man articulated
some words, which were supposed to be.
"Thomas Jefierson still lives.”
As the sun sank below the hills, a noise of
shouting was heard in the village and reached
to the room where the aged patriot lay dy-
in .
'I‘he people were cheering the toast which
Mr. Adams, himself, had given them for the
occasion the‘day before. ‘
“INDEP ENDENQE Foanvlm."
While the cheers were still audible in the‘
chamber, the old man breathed his last.
The hundredth anniversary, as allreaders
remember, was signalized by the Centennial
Exhibition at Philadelphia, as well as by an
extraordinary ceremonial in‘Independence
Square, within a few feet of the spot where
Rittenhouse’s , platform stood, from which
the Declaration was first publicly read in
1770. Bayard Taylor was the poet on that
occasion.

small to contain the multitude which gath-
cred.
I was one of the number, a‘can testify
that from an early hour. the crowd itself was
the :only part of the show which could be
distinctly realized. But the number show-
ed at least that the; interest in the celebration
was not less than it hadbeenahundrcd years
before. ’
There was considerable fun down at. Ellis’
wharf Wednesday afternoon, where lay the
sloop Chief, loaded with machinery and
granite stone, bound for Port Jeflerson. The
boat had been laying here a day or two to
settle up a dispute about freight charges.
.The crew, two men, were ashore yesterday
on a drunk, and the captain appeared as if
he wanted to follow suit. Several times he
tried to get on the deck, but his wife pre-
vented him. Finally she rolled up her
sleeves and gave him -a scientific “polishing
off," after which he crept down into the.
cabin, but he soon emerged and made for the
dock. Then she caught him and threw, his
hat into the water. He came back and she
drove him to work. She hailed a passing
tug and made arrangements for being towed
out to the light-house. Then one took com-
mand of the ship, throwing off the lines and
shipping the tiller, while the sloop went out
to sea with the woman standing triumphant-
ly at the helm and the captain acting as a
deck hand, coiling up the ropes and making

The Vassar-s and their Charities—
Noble Men and Noble Deeds.
- Freeman’s Journal.
Saturday morning I met Mr. John Guy
Vassar by appointment, and spent the fore-
noon with him in visiting the diflerent insti-
tutions in which he is specially interested.
The last time I was here I closéd my visit
with_a call on his brother Matthew, who died
in 1881, and he then told me of their inten-
tions tocrect a home for aged men. He'lived
to see it nearly completed. It is a large and
splendid brick building, granite facings,
standing on the site formerly occupied by the
mansion of Matthew Vassar, sr., having a
front on three streets. It is complete in all
its appointments and was recently opened.
“The Vassar Brothers’ Home,” cost them,
with the liberal endowment, about $100,000,
and is under the direct supervision of an ex-
ecutive committee of ladies. There we
found a few happy and contented old gentle-
men, some of whom we had known in their
many years a leading business man of the
city. It is a truly noble charity, as we most‘
forcibly realize when standing within its
cheerful rooms and in the presence of these
worthy old gentlemen. They and hundreds
who are to succeed them will bless the name
of Vassar in the years to come.
~ A year or two ago there were :thrce Liter-
ary socities in this city, one of them.con-:
ducted [especially in the‘ interest of young
men. Neither of “them owned a. building;
After consulation the Vassar brothers said
to these societies, "If you will consolidate
your forces, we will put you up a building
suitable to the purposes designed by the new
organization." To this a ready acquiescence
was given and a charter obtained of the last
Legislature. Architects were directed to.
draft and submit plans and specifications-
but when they arrived Matthew was upon
his death-bed, and he never sawthem. It
was" supposed that he had carried out‘his,
purpose of providing by (a codical to his will
for one half the expense of the promised
building, as he was alvery methodicil man;
but he had delayed'to learn the approximate
cost, andhis brief and-severe illness did not
permit of the exertion. ' When the will waa
opened there was a natural disappointment
felt by those interested in the project. But
it was of brief duration, for John- Guy, the
surviving "brother, said to them, _“I' know
what was the intention of my brothq in re;
gard to the building, and it shall-be carsied
out at my individual expense." That act il-
lustrates the character of the man. Near
th'e'Home, on Vassar street, .stood theflrst
brewery erected in Poughkeepsie by the
grandfather of theer brothers, the Tfath.
er of the late Matthew Vassar, sr.— The lat-7
ter and their father succeeded that firm, and ‘
then these brothers, ,on the death of their
father, became the partners of their uncle
Matthew, the founder of Vassar College.
On this site "The Vassar" Brothers' Literary
Society" building is being erected, at a cost
of about $40,000, and I could see from the
drawings of the architect. that it will be an
imposing one, of brick and granite, witha
high dome. When the first story was partly
completed, it was represented to the gene'-
rous donor that the societies were increasing
in membership and the audience room would
not be large enough to admit of a platform,
which would be very much needed." “Could
he not possible arrange it so as to give them
one i—the boys were especially anxious to
have it." * “Well,” said Mr V. to me, “I
could arrange it, as you see, by taking down
a part of the wall, and then buildingup this
sand dollars to the cosrébut'they will have
the platform, and -there is.no use in doing
such things by halves, when once you pro in
,for it i" ' . ~
During’the lifetime at M. Vassar, jr., the
two brothers bought fifteen acres of land in
the south part of the city, commanding a
fine view of the river, and set apart $00,000
for the building and furniture. The "Vassar
Brother’ Hospital” is also the residuary legs}
tee of the late Mr. Vassar, and will receive
not less than $150,000 from his estate as an
endowment fund ; this may be increased.
to nearly $200,000, should a construction be
given the will, which it is thought equity and
justice demand, given seven Sunday school
organizations, “for books and papers," 87,-
000, instead of that sum “each,” as was ac-
cidentally “nominated in the bond." I trust
there will be areasonable compromise of this
matter,‘as there should be. ' On account of
frequent “strikes” and the present high
prices of labor and material, work will not
be commenced on the hospital till next year. '
I think Mr. J. G. Vassar will add liberally to
the endowment of this benevolent institution
as his heart, is in the work and he is supposed
to be a man of greater wealth than his late
brother.
After driving about thescgrounds, bound-
ed by four avenues, Mr. Vassar said, "Now
let me take you out to the college, and per-
haps there will be something new to be seen
there." And there was.‘ Of this grand in-
stitution we have spoken before. The build-
ings cost about $600, , and the endowment
is about $400,000,—nearly all the princely
gift ofgthe late Matthew Vassar. sr. .It is
the pioneer college in this country for the
higher education of women. Several years
before it was commenced, the founder one
day remarked tome in his own house, “Ther
is no school in this country where a girl can
obtain as good an education as'aboy can get
in college. I intend to supply this great
need.” And ihe did it. The brick riding-
school building has been converted into a
gymnasium, &c. There is a separate build-
ing for music and painting. _ Another for the
Astronomical Observatory. And recently
the Vassar brothers have erected atwo-story
brick building at a cost of abdut $20,000 for
a laboratory of chemistry. Here we found
Prof. LeRoyrc. Cooley, years ago one of the
faculty of Cooperstown Seminary. He is a
hard worker in his department, but shows no
gray‘hairs' yet. It being. Saturday we found
President iCaldwell somewhat at leisure (if
any one at the head of such: vast institution
really has any leisure) and a most courteous
and accomplished gentleman ‘he is. Time
was all too brief for what we wisl-Sd to see
in the library, art gallery and other depart-
ments. . The collection of oil and water-color
paintings is a valuable one, embracing some
gnoted pieces. The cabinet of natural history
inflilsny attractions to the most casual ob-
3server; the collection of stuffed birds, shells,
&c., are among the most valuable in this
country.. In the large chapel we saw the
costly organ just donated by Mrs. John II.
Dean, of New York. There are thirty-one
membersof the faculty and abmt 300 stud-
ents in attendance this term. - In and about
the building are nearly 100 persons employed
in various capacities. The total expense at
the college is from. $400 .to $600 a year. The
living is first-class, as the healthy appearance
of the scholars and ‘their own testimony
prove. The influence alreadyexerted-in this .
country by this noble institution, is most be
neficisnt sud slanting. . . .
The late Matthew Vassar, jr., also gave-
850,000 for a scholarship , fund at the col-
lege ; 85,000 to the small Episcopal hospital ;
810,000 to the Baptist church .of which he
was a member, and various sums to other
different local objects of merit or charity.

does not find something of the cause of this
most perceptible of eflec‘ts: “The British
people spend $600,000,000 for alcoholic
liquors, yet it seems that they are quite ab:
stemious compared with the population of
the Swiss , canton' of Geneva, where the
average outlay in drink every year is esti-
mated at $60 per head, or more than thy
times that of England. The number of cafes
and wine-shops in the canton where liqubrs
are sold is 1,600, which is equal to one house
for every sixty five inhabitants. The average

How the Schooner Got'tts Name.
The year 1713 was agrcat era in American
naval annals. ~- In that year Captain Andrew
Robinson built the first schooner ever seen.
This was at Gloucester. As she glided into
the water, a by-stander,cried: . "Look, how
she scoops!" Calching at the word, Captain
Robinson replied, “A schooner let her be I"
The new rig came at once into wide accept-
ance. .Only eight years later an old chronicler
Dr. Mooas Prince. wrote of Captain Robin-
son: “This gentleman was first contriver 'of
schooners, and built the first of that sort.
about eight years since; and the use now
made ofvthem, being so much known, has
convinced the world of their convenience
beyond other vessels, and shows how man-
kind is obliged to this gentleman for this
knowledge.” This is by n means the only
instance of the adoption of merican marine
inventions by other nations.—The Century

Prepare N ow for Winter Flowers.
_ Those who have small green-house or cul-
tivated flowers in their windows, have set
out their geranuiums, and other quick-grow-
ing plants for the summer. Many make the
mistake of taking up these plants in autumn,
after they have grown all the season in the
open ground, and potting them to be re-
placed in the window or green-house. The
result .will always be “long-legged," ' mis-
shapen plants, which, instead of blooming
satisfactorily during the winter, will take a
long time to recover, and 'never be worth'as
much as new plants from cuttings. Such
plants may be prepared for, this month and
next, and with very little trouble. Of course
those who have greed-houses with appliances
for propagating need no directions, but
many lovers of flowers have to content
themselves with such plants as may be grown
in the windows of the living rooms. These
become attached to their plants, and when
one is set out in the bed they expect it back
again. When such a plant goes out, con-
sider it thrown away, for it may as well be,
and set about replacing it. The following
method will give a few plants with little
trouble. Take a common store box, such
as a starch or soap-box. knock off both cover
and bottom, and if need be strengthen it with
extra nails. Tack over this a piece of not-
ton cloth and the frame will be ready. Se-
lect a place where the soil is lightund sandy,
or if the ground is all stiff, spade in some
sand or coal-dust to make it light andopen,
9' place the frame over it. ‘ If cuttings of
geraniums, couheas, verbenas, or other such
with the frame they will soon take. root and
form nice specimens, which, when they be-
gin to grow, may be potted and .be ready for
winter. ' If the frame is where it will be
shaded at mid-day, all the better; if not, tilt
it a little when the sun is very hot, to give
ventilation and prevent overheating—Amer-
ican Agrfhuuurist.
Waiting for p. Car.
He was a stranger, about fifty years of

“I've tackled a good many street car lines
in my time, but this is the blankety blandedst
one I ever struck. I've stood here just one
hour and saw. a dozen cars go up, but not
one has passed doivn." _ .
"Well,”‘said the citizen, with a grin, “you
may stand there several years longer and not
catch :one going down. They run but one
way. - If you want to go west you must go
up to Fourth street." ‘ _

minute in utter helplessness, and than said:

Across the sunny field she went,
Who is our sovereign lady;
She said, "Such days were never meant
To waste in corners shady,”
She would net take a single nay,
Exclising or denying. ‘
“Come out," she said, “and turn the ha
Because the sun is shining." ’
Some pleaded letters: “Why. you see,
'Tis mail. for Golconda 1"
Another: “ en I’ve read these three
Last pages of ‘Dcronda.' "

A Sailor's Yarn.
BY JEFF ROCHE.
i .—
mini. is the tale that was told to me,
By a battered and shatteredgson of the sea—
To me and my messinates, Silas Green.
When I was a guileicss young marine.
’Twas the good ship Gyascutus,
All in the China seas, ‘
Wifh a wind a-lee and the capstain free
- o catch the summer breeze.
'I‘fwns Captain Porgis on the deck,
To his mats in the mines hatch,
While the biatswain bold, in the forward
hold,
\Vas winding his larbnard watch.
A
“Oh, how does our good ship head to night?
If m- heads our gallant. cmii ?"
“Oi. she heads to the E S. W. by N .
And the biunacle lies abaft P"
“Oh, what does the quadrant indicate.
And how does the sextant stand ?”
"Oh, the sextant’s down to the freezing
pr.inI,_
A5ud illf' quadrani’s lost a band I"
"On, and if the quadrant has lost a hand,
And the sextant falls so low,
It's our bodies and bones to Davy Jones
This night srebound to go!”
‘Oii fiy aloft to the gsrboard strike!
And reef the speaker boom ;
Bend a studding sail to the martingale
To give her weather rcom.
‘0 boatswain, Down in the for’ard hold,
What water do you find ?
“Four foot and a half by the royal go it
And, rather more behind I"
‘O sailors collarfyour marling spikes
And each belaying pin ;
Come stir your stamps and spike the pumps,
Or more will be coming in!"
They stirred their stumps, they spiked the
pumps,
They spliced the missen brace:
Aloft and slow they worked, but oh!
The water gained space; '
They bored a hole above the Us]
To let the water out ;. 5
But, strange to say, fo’their dismay.
' The water in did spout.
Then up spoke the cook of our gallant ship,
And be was a lubber brave; .
“I have several wives in various ports,
And my life I’d orter‘s's've.”
Then up spake the Cnptain of Marines,
Who dearly loved his prog;
“It’s awful to die- and it’s worse to be dry,
And I move we pipes to grog.”
on, then, ’twas the noble second mate
What fillsd them all with awe;
The second mate as bad men hate,
And cruel skippers jaw.
He took the anchor on his back
And leaped into the main :
Through foam and spray he clove his way.
And sunk and rose again !
Through foam and spray, a league raw-y,
_‘ The anchor stout be here;
~Till, safe at last, he made it fast
And warped the ship ashore!
’Taint much of a job to in
But a tickling-thing to ;
And suth’in to do, if I say it, too,
For that second male was me I
about,
'Such was the tale that was told to me
By that modest and truthful son of the us.
And I envy the life of a second mate
Though cal-talus curse him and sailors hole,
For he ain't like some of the swabs I've seen,
As would go and lie to a poor marine.

Horseback riding us an art, and as a bene-
