Tho chairman ol the committoo ap pointed by the convention to prepare an address to the people of tho United States, made a stirring and patriotio report, which was adopted, as follows ; 'The Convention of Delegates ap pointed by tho several Stales and Ter ritories to take steps towards the cele bration of tho signature of tho Consti tution, feel it their just duty to call the attention ot tho country, aud ol both press and public, to tho approaoh of this great anniversary. "It becomes us, also, to recall tho characteristics of the chango in the government of btates effected by tho tranquil adoption of a system of checks to the heated impulses which political strifo has always aroused. Tho barrier to hasty legislation effected by an or ganio law, unchangeable except bv processes involving delay, and so se curing an interval in which reflection might resume its sway ovor passion, waB to all practical purposes a novelty a century ago. "The success of the great experiment depended eventually upon tho rover onco with which men might be brought to regard the fundamental and supremo law, aud upon tho determination to consider it, in the naturo of things, in violable, oxcopt by the surrender of pvery respecUblo attributo of an up right people, "Upon tho oxistenco of this rovonuo tho statesmen of 1787 relied, and to its existence and preservation their de scendants owo wliatoyer is valuable in tho Institutions they inherit. To strengthen and quicken tho senso of tho sacred ness of this principlo and tho paramount duty of observing it, and to admonish our countrymen that only by intelligent perception of its transcend ent importance can bo assured a con tinuance of tho blessings whioh make ns tho admiration of tho world, seem a prominent duty of this commission. ii-OBucccsiui lorinaiion oi tue Cobslitutiou was the roost momentous event in the history ol tho American people, mid marks an epoch in tho his tory of the civilized world. Under tho Constitution .this great nation has grown up and prospered, and on the continued fluoooss of our Bystom of con-. slilutlonal govcmmohl depend, iu largo measure, tho futuro welfare and happiness, not only of our own people, but ol mankind. Wo beiiovo that mo pooplo appreciate, in a solemn and cratolul spirit, tho character ot tins colobratton, mid that thoy will givo it that ltcartv support throughout tho length and broadth of the land which will mako it in all ways worthy of tho occasion and tho event," That tho pooplo do appreolato tho oharaotor of tho oomlng oolobration is evinced by tho hearty support which is now bolng givon to tho Commission, both by tho sovcral States and tho citi zens of Philadelphia. Tho Stato of Pennsylvania has ap propriated $7.5,000 for tho purposes of tho colobration and tho entortainmont of tho representatives of tho nation, of whom our Commonwealth will bo tho host, Tho appropriations from other States and from prtvato citizons of Philadelphia can bo reliod upon great ly to inoreaso this sum, and, consider ing tho magnitude ot the undertaking, a generous' inoroase will bo necessary. An outline has already boon given of tho naturo and extent of tho ooming celebration. A comparsion, howovor, with tho past may bo useful, lest by want of patriotio zoal and forvor wo permit tho joyful and magnificent pageant of 1788 in honor of tho adopt ion of the Constitution, to oxooed in any manner our commemoration of its centennial anniversary.

Francis Hopkinson, who himself participated in this procession, wrote that it was "an exhibition which for nyvelty, splendor and decorum juBtly merited universal admiration and ap plause. If, beside the magnifioence of the thing itself, we take into consider ation tho important oocasion that in duced it, it must bo acknowledged to have been an object most interesting and truly sublime." It is of course but natural to expect that the celebration of 1887 will sur pass that of 1788 in respect to grandeur and magnificence in every detail. To surpass it, however, in tho joy and en thusiasm of tho participants will not be such an easy task. The Stato of Pennsylvania has ap propriated $75,000 j citizens of Phila delphia have subscribed oyer $20,000, The following sums have been appro priated by other States, viz. : Connec ticut, $18,000 ; Rhodo Island, $2500 ; Delaware, $2000 j Massachusetts, $10, 000. New Jersey has authorized the Govornor to send its militia at the cost of the State. Maryland, Virginia, and South Carolina have arranged to send troops. Up to July 1st tho Governors of theso States, as well as those of Maine, New Hampshiro, Now York, North Carolina, Oregon, Nobraska and Texas, had accepted tho invitation of the Commission to oome to Philadelphia. Tho Governors of all tho States and Territories have boon invited to tho celebration as tho guests of the Com mission, and have been asked to send representations of their militia. It is expected that in a vory short time ac ceptances will have arrived from every Governor who is not, for some good reason, inoapaoitated from coming, and that tho majority of States will bo rep resented also by somo portion of their troops. Tho great family of States should and there is ovcry reason to hopo will, appear at their gathering on this historic occasion, without tho ab senco 'of a singlo membor. President Cleveland will preside at tho ceremonies, and General Sheridan will bo designated by tho President to command tho combined forces of Stato aud United States Troops which will tako part in the grand parade. Tho Civib and Industrial display will bo marshaled bv A. Loudon Snowden, Esq. Mr. Justice Miller, of the Supremo Court of tho United States, will de liver an oration, and it is oxpeoted that a poem will bo delivered by a national poet. All indications point to the great success of tho eclobration. The Woolly florae. a 8touy about the orioin ok (1enrral Fremont's strange souihuquet, Tho nickname "Woolly Horso,'' ap plied to General Fremont in tho cam paign of 185ii, rccallod to my mind a story told mo by an old Washington ian about tho origin of tho strango soubriquet, writes a correspondent iu tho Philadelphia liecord. It seems that after Fremont had first announced to the world his discoveries in the great West, a. Philadelphia showman, of a tricky and speculative turn, un dertook to exploit Lieutenant Fre mont's discoveries and at tho same time, mako n liltlo money for himself. So ho caino down to Washington. Con gress then being in session, nud hiring a snop on tue avonue, proceeded to ad vortlso and exhibit "Lieutenant Fro mont's woolly horso, captured by tho gallant oxplorcr In tho very height of the Rocky mountains at tho risk of his lifo.'' Of course, it was only an ordi nary, ovory-day horse, with patches of wool stuok on. But it took, and the showman began to mako monoy on it. Ono lino day Senator Benton, Fro mout's father-in-law, heard of tho humbug, and sin tied out, vowing to drivo it out of town boforo ovening. Taking a brother Senator with him, ho marched at once to the enemy's Bhop. Tho showman, who was standing out side tho door, and who know him per fectly well, had Iho impttdonco to go right on with his lecture Ho oven went so for as to say to tho crowd: "Hero is Lieutenant Fremont's father-in-law, Sonator Benton. Won't you walk in, Sonator, and tako your friend with you t It won't cost you n cent." "Como inside," said Benton stonily, handing him ono dollar, and striding in with his friend; "whero is this ani mal V "Horo ho is, said tho showman, bo ginning at tho beginning of his lecturo again. "Stop I" said Benton, in a tono that had often made tho Senato chambor ringj "if you don't take that fraud out of town boforo dark I'll mako you wish that you had novor boon born." Tho impudence of the man was frightened out of him by Bunton's se verity and earnestness. "I'll go," ho said, and went that evening. Charles II. Reed, tho lawyor who defended Guiteau, jumped from a forry boat in tho North River at Now York last Saturday. Ho was rescued and taken to Bellevuo Hospital.
