THE FOURTH OF JULY IN
EUROPE AND AMERICA.
Monarchy Dying in the Old World, anl

Blessed with Peace in the New.
A LUSTY SHRIEK FROM THE
AMERICAN EAGLE.

The Fourth of July is mo t pmpba'.ienlly an
.American institution. The other republics on
this continent, it Is true, have likewise been in
the habit of celebrating the day on which they
severed their political connections with the
fl'cte moLarchics of the Old World. But this
day fails), ae the case may be, on the 7th ol May,
or on the 19th of June, or on the 2Sth of Sep
tember. In no case, we can affirm with perfect
safety, does it lull on or near the Fourth of July.
In this respect we are alone in the world; we
have it all to ourselves; to modify slightly the
language of a celebrated statesman, we can even
claim to be "grand, glorious, and peculiar" with
respect to it.
As might be expected, we have a pec uliarly
American fashion of celebrating it, which is like
wise both Brand and glorious. It is the great
vent ol the year, ae lar as all political si gnid
tance is concerned ; the point at which all the
peculiar ideas which regulate our social and
political economy are concentrated. Other
nations are not so highly lavored; their atten
tion Is usually distracted by a multitude of
national festivals'. It very ueldom occurs that
the rcigumg sovereign of England happens to
Itave been born on the very day and month of
t,Wi Tar on which, of all others, Guy Fa wkes
cl tone to breatho his last. Such an event has
never been heard of yet; if it ever does come
abmut in the future, a vast deal ot gunpowder
will be saved. But, happily, we are not lorced
thus to squander our energy and fritter away our
noisi t
We r graciously permitted to husband it all
for ot tremendous, peut-up ell'orU That etlbrt
is the Touith of July. On that day the nation
was b orn; on that day Independence was
iissertei I: on that daylibuity was founded; on
that du. T It was discovered that 11 men are
created equnl, und endowed by their Creator
'with cut. in inalienable rights, which are quite
too nvmei t0 mention; on that day several
other thiut '8 were conceived and accomplished
by great ai vJ good men, whose memory has
gone down through the ages, crowing brighter
with the laps e of time. It Is, therefore, a tit
occasion to be celebrated; and, laying all our
proverbial boiuV'ast a'-ide, we think we have
good caiise to celebrate it by noises great and
small, evon If in so doing we set the ears of the
world aiioj, and interrupt to some extent the
music of thvi spheres.
It is not considered a difficult feat to cele
brate the Founlb of July. We have an unfail
ing ally for such an occasion. ThaJ ally is the
Eagle, called the Great American Eagle, by way
of distinction from" similar birds of a meaner
extraction. The Eag is a well-known bid in
this country. Almost e very one of sound m"ind
and respectable parentugC La at some time Or

other in hi lif seen a picture ot him. Torre
are persons now living who remember to hr.ve
seen his imago traced in outiini of silver and
gold upon little circular slips o( metil, of a size
very convenient for carrying about in the
pocket. But such traditions are not received
with favor by same antiquarian of these latter
days; to them they arc Invested with a halo of
mystery and doubt; they consider tbcm entirely
reliable as fairy tales, but beyond that as serv
ing no practical or particular purpose. Such
persons are said to bo quite numerous In
Washington,
However this maybe; there are known to us
certain individuals ot most respectable beloog
ings who have even feen the Eaa;le himself
featheTs and a 1. Although the accounts of such
persons differ on a few points of minor conse
quence, they all uu'ret: in represpntiug him as
being bald. For this reason ornithologists have
sometimes staled him the Bald-headed Eigle,
but this title Is not so popular with the masses
as the more euphonious ''(treat American." Ou
one otbrr point these individuals who have been
favored with a vision of the bird himself exhibit
a remarkable agreement; they are so unani
mous, in fact, that we cannot with safety dispute
the conclusions at which they have arrivpd.
These conclusions atlVct, the size of the Eagle.
Large birds are not so uncommon u? to be con
sidered remarkable. In ancient Egypt there
was a bird of such enormous proportions that
the wholo land was eaid to be ' sha lowing with
wings." This was probaMy the Pnienix.
Then, too, Mahomet, the prophet of Allah
and founder of the Moslem faith, who, as is well
known to all students of b'slory, visited heaven
on several occasions, having been borne thither
usually on the back of a mule; this Mahonimet,
a perfectly reliable person, by-the-wny, is said
to have seen an enormous chicken, which stood
upon the floor of the first heaven, while his head
fairly emerged into the third, and whose duty it
was every morning in the year to awaken the
angels by his crowing.
But the Bald-headed Eagle or the Great Ame
rican Eagle, if you will is said to be much
larger than either of these historical
prodigies. His exact proportions hpve not as
yet bef n ascertained, owing to the fact that it is
but ninety years to-morrow since his species
first became known to the persons whose busi
ness it is to inquire into such matters. Never
theless, he is a bird as remarkable for his bigness
as for any of his other numerous
striking points. Among the larger speci
mens concerning which authentic accounts
have come down to us, we have space for men
tion of but two. Th first of these was seen by
a Fourlh-of-July orator, who resided in an inte
rior town in the neighboring State of New
Jeiscy. The Eagle whose acquaintance he had
made, was of such gigantic outlines that he was
able to stand with one foot upon the Rocky
Mountains and the other upon the Alleghenies,
and when be spread bin -wings Uiey rittUel the
inutn.ee of the Atlantic and Pacific Occaus. The
cither was even more remarkablcas laras its size
was concerned, and, if we remember rightly,
was seen by a person w ho resided at the time ia
the State of Indiana, lie the Eagle, not the
"person" is said to have been etamUna, for
comfort's sake, witli one loot resting upon the
Northern brunch of Iho. Western Hemisphere
and the other upon the Southern, and while
dozing in this position, with wings outspread,
to have had the tips of both badly fro3t-bittn,
because of their proximity to the Arctic and
Antarctic poles. This was a very large bird,
probably the largest ever seen. But he was
found rather unwieldy lor this sublunary sphere,
and is supposed to have migrated elsewhere iust
befbic the invasion of Mexico by 5apolcon III
and his "man Friday," suruauiod Maximilian.
Such being the Fourth of July, and such the
noble bird whose gala d'y it is, we are prepared
to comnieuce the celebration. And of all the
cities of the Union there is no one whoe people
can lay cluim to a better right to do so than we
of the City of Brotherly Love. The history of
our city is replete with shining episodes of the
War ol Independence, and within her limits
stands that quaint old structure in which, on
the Fourth of July juet ninety years ago,
wera gathered the men who dared rebuke
a tyrant by asserting the inalienable rights of
their manhood, even though the world looked
on with much scoffing and an incredulous wag
of the head. In bygone times we have been
true to thi3 rich inheritance, but to-morrow
wethnll celebrate the day in a manner that
shall put to shame not only all our previous
cfloits, but the previous ellorts of all our sister
cities. Such, at least, is the intent of those
who have the matter in charge, and we think
they will not meet w ith disappointment.
The lirst element in an appropriate celebration
of the Fourth of July is noise in tact, the w hole
affair might properly bo designated a carnival
of embryo thunder. It is understood that the
most ample arrangements have been made for
causing the celebration of to morrow to be un-
cd nailed in tins respect, as in ail others. The
noise will commence punctually this evening at
Minuet, Dy iiie urmu oi crackers and squios, and
will bo continued throughout the nurht with
more or less irregularity, but witnout any dis-
unci pauses. j.uut in me cvcuuiu, tue rattle
ol musketry and the clatter ot pistol9 will be
added, and throughout the wholo there will be
a poodl.v sprinkling of rockets, liomsn candles,
and dounle-hwled Dutchmen, which partake ot
the combined qualities of noise and smoke.
At sunrise on the niornin.; of the Fourth the
uprour will commence in earnest by the opening
of the ereat guuB. It will bo well lor those
persons w ho reside in the neighborhood ot the
points at w hlsh salutes are to b1? tired, and who
lo net detiro to have a heavy glazier' bill to
loot after the ceremonies are entirely over, if
they will take the precaution to leave their win
dows raised to the height of a few inches.
The tirst sulule will be a national one, at sun
rise, on behalf 01 the city authorities. Simulta
neously with this one hundred euiis will blch
iorth iheir fiery con touts, under the supervision
of tho rountylvauiu Artillery Brigade. From H
to 10 o'clock signal guns will likewise bo tired
from l'eiin Square by the United Stit'w Marines,
on behalt of the Union League; an1 at 10 o'clock,
on behalf ot the National Union Club, they will
touch the match to one hundred pruns at the
same place, as the line ol the parade is forming.
This part ol the program ino will bo under the
supervision of Malor J. K. Addicks. There will
also be tired a Governor's salute of fifteen
guns at Washington Square, when that official
and his suite arrive at that point. After tho
ceremonies ot the reception ol the flags a iih
tioual salute of thirty-seven guns will bj rirel,
and one hundred more on the dismissal ot the
parade, by the Veteran Artillery Brigade, under
I'oloncl Brady. At 4 o'clock lu tho afternoon
the Union Le'aguu w ill again cause a salute of
one hundred guns to be tired trom the fortified
lions at Fuirmount Park, by the Veteran Key
atone Battery. At suncet, a national salute on
behalf of the city, from tho fame point, will
terminate this noisy iusillade. So much for the
element oi noise.
The most prominent feature of the day, and
the one which can easily be witnessed' by the
thousands of our citizens who will find access
to Independence Square an utter impossibility,
w ill b the grand parade. It la expected that
this will be one ol the mo-it imposing pasoints
ever witnessed In the city. The following regi
ments will participate:

fix, while surmounting the wuoie aro ino
words "The Age."
The 1'ree.i likewise displays a large star, with
the motto "Union" placed within it. Above,
iu semicircular form, are thirty-six globs jets,
and over all the legend "Peace Reigus over
our United Country."
The otlices of the Ecening Bulkiln anl the
Nort'n American will be appropriately draped
w ith the national flag.
At tho Club Houso of the Uuion League,
Broad and Sansom streets, there will hkewisi
be an elaborate Illumination. Over the entrance
are thirteen ttars, surmounted by a shield and
the motto "July 4, 1770." Above is tho word
"Washington," with "Lincoln" to the left and
"(lean" to the right. Tnirtf -sU large stars dis
played upon tho roof complete the arrange
ment. Another prominent, feature of the evening
cclebiation is the dlsDlav of fireworks. Every
bov will have bis crackeis and every girl her
tiiii-w heels, as a matter of course; and In add I
tiou to this the citizens in many sections of the
city have clubbed together for tho purchase of
more elaboiatc and exnensivc urcwO'-ks.
Ihe errand exhibition, however, will be the
one to be given at the corner of Broad aud
Market streets, bv i.tithont of he City Coun
cils. This promises to bo one of the most bril
liant rmotechnic displays ever witnessed in the
city, being under the experienced direction of
i'rott'bsor jacKson.
The hour for commencing has been fixed at
halt-past 8. but the exhibition will probably
continue until near midniL'lit. Thus in a blazo
ofslorv will expire "the day we celebrate" a
day that is dertined to bo a memorable one in
the annuls ot our city.
