character and the prestige of tho fJovornnient. The Slate of Pennsylvania
and the City of Philadelphia havo come forward nobly and raised snflltieiit
means to insure the erection of the nccossary buildings, and now by new plans
and policy, on the part of the Centennial Hoard of Finance, ewry (iU:m nf
fiii United State! ill liuvo it within his
of patriotism by a very small outlay.
of which is Mr. John Wanumakcr,
been formed to meet this end and its plan is very simple In addition to the
Certificate of Stock issued by tbo Board of Finance, which Is offered at ten
dollars a share, it has been deemed advisable to prepare medals from origina
designs, typical of the event we propose to celebrate. Thcso medals will be
of two sizes ;
: Pint. Ono in Bronse, tbo size of
A neat box for one dollar.
Second. Tho same modal in Silver,
dollars.
TAinl. A larger modal in Bronze
gilt fo five dollieww ......
This grand scheme was mainly inspired by cx-Gov. Higler, who is now.
as Financial Agent, pushing tho work with great diligence by the presenta
tion of the certificates of stock and medals to the people of the United States,
through duly authorized agents, sssisted by Auxiliary Boards in the various
States, districts and cotmtios. Within tho past six weeks organizations hnve
been effected in Mnino, Now Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, New York,
Tthodo Island, Pennsylvania, Now Jersey, Maryland, Washington, Oregon
"California, Illinois, Arizona, Michigan, West Virginia, Kansas, Nevada, Indiana
IdaliOjMissonri, Colorado and Utuh. These organizations aro formed of active
men ocenpyiug important positions, who have volunteered their services in
aid of this grand national enterprise, and wo believe that the presentation in
this manner will secure such a result from the people as will bo very satis.
factory. In this connection we publish tho admiral. lo address of Mi. Welsh,
which places the subject more clearly before our readers. '

AMEIIICAN A GHICULTUHE IN
177H.
In the course of a century within
thoir narrow fringe of country the colo
nists hud trnuslbrmed tho wilderness
Into a fertile and productivo territory.
Agriculture was their fttvorito pursuit.
Travelers from Europe Tre struck
with tbo skill with w hich they culti
vated tbo rich and ubtindunt soil, tbo
(loo titrm-hniiscH that filled the land
scape, tho barns overflowing with har
vests, tho cattle, tho sheep. .Tho uorlli-
eru and miilcllo colonies were famous
for wheat and corn. Pennsylvania was,
tho irranarv of tho nation, In Now
Jersey the lino farms that spread from
J ronton to r.lixtincMitown excited I lie
admiration of the scictific Kitlui. I. win
Island was tho lou-tleii ot America, and
nil along tbo valleys opening upon the
HihImiii II. u Dutch ami lluiruciiol col-
onists had acquired ease aud opulence
liy n enrol ul agriculture. '1 ho inrm
houses iikuuIIv built of stone, with tall
roofs and narrow windows, were scones
of intelligent industry. While the
young nu n labored in tho fields, the
mould's in. a tlniightcrs spun wool nntl
flax, and prepared a Itirio pint of the
clothing of the fumily. .The furin-
hotiKu was a msniilactory ol all tlie
articles of daily uso. Even nulls were
hammered out in tlio winter, unu I lie
fiimier was his own mechanic. A
school nud a church wore provided for
iilniOrit every village. Few children
were Icll uuluU''lit liy tlio Dulcli ilo-
minio, who was simu'tiincs paid in
wampum, or tho .New r.nglaiul stuileut
who lived uuioiig bis patrons, was not
always fed upon the tlitiuticnt fare.
On Sunday labor ceased, tho church
bell tolled in the Uintitnce, a liiil'PV calm
settled upon the rural region, and the
limner ami his litmiiy, in tneir iieuiesi
dress, rode or walked to the village
church. Tho farmer class usually in
telligent and nitionul, formed in the
northern colonies the sure rcliuiieo of j
freedom and when tho invasion came
the Hessians were driven out of New
Jersey by tho general rising of its la
boring limners, and Bttrgoyno was
captured by tho resolution of tbo jieo
plo rnther than by tlie timid general
shin of Gates.
Tho progress of agriculture at tho
South was even more rapid and re
markable than at the North. The
wilderness was swiftly converted into
a productive region. Tlio coast from
St. Mary's to tho Delaware, with its
inland country, becatuo within a cen
tury tho most valuable portion of tho
earth. It's products were eagerly
noniriit for in all of the cnpitttls of En-
rope, and ono noxious plant of Virginia
had supplied mankind with a now vice
and a now pleasure. It would bo nso
less to relate agaiu tbo story of the
crowth of tho tobacco trade. Its cul
tivation in Virginia was an epoch in
tho history of man. Tobacco was to
Virginia tbo life -of Irodo and inter
course: prices were estimated init;the
salaries of tho clergy were fixed st so
many pounds of tiibaeeo. All othor
products of tho soil were neglected in
order to raise the savnge plant. Ships
from Knirlimd came over annually to
(father In the great crops of tWa laro:
planters, and V ashington, one ol tlio
most successiui 01 uiu irginia tatiu
owners and airriciilturists, was acens-
touted lo watch keenly over tho vessels
and their captains who sailed up the
Potomac to his very dock. The Eng
lish trailers havo been often unxious to
depreciate his cargoes and lower bis
prices. Virginia grew enormously rich
Irom the sudden rise oi an anmcini
taste. From 1U24, when tbo produc
tion of tobacco was first made a royal
monopoly, until tho close of tho colo
nial period tho production ui.J tbo con
sumption rose vvun equal rapiuuy, unu
in 177o,BB,llliuiioirsheiidswerecxporten
an nuallv.and the saleoftobacco brought
in nearly B 1.000,000 to the southern
colonies. This was equal to about one-
third of tho wholo export of the colo
nies. Happily since that period the
proportion has rapidly decreased, and
more useful articles have formed the
larger part of the export from tho N c
World to tho Old.
Ono of these was rice. A Governor
of South Carolina had been in Mada
gascar, and seen tho plant cultivated
in its nor swamps. Unlived m ( hones
ton, on the bay, and it struck him that
a marshy spot in his garden might wen
servo for a plantation of rice. Just
then (llillt) a vessel put in from Mada
gascar in distress, w hose commander
the Governor had formerly known
her wnnts were liberally relieved. In
irralitudo for tho kindness he received,
tho master gavo the Governor a bug
of nee. It was sown, anil pnxiticcn
abundantly. Tho soil proved siiiLrn-
iarly favorable for its culture. Tho
marshes of Georgia and South Carolina
were soon covered with rlco plant
tinns: A large part of tho crop was
exported to 'England. In 1724, 100,.
000 barrels were sent out from South
Carolina alone. In 1701, the vnlito ol
its rice crop was more than $1,500,000.
Its white tin, nihil ion could not then
have boon more than 45,000, aud it is
easy to conceive the tide of wealth
that was distributed annually among
its band of planters. They built costly
mansions on tbo counts aud bays, lived
in fatal luxury, were noted lor their
wild excesses, and oiien leu wpceny
victims to fevers of the malarious soil,
Indltro. siitrar. molasses, tnr, pitch, and
a great variety of valuable productions
added to the woalth of South. But
cotton, which bad grown through many
vicissitudes to bo the chief staple of
British and America, trade, was, at this
period, only cultivated in small qnnn
tities for tlie uso of tho farmers. It
was spun into twrso cloths. But it
was not until Whitney's invention, in
1703. that it could ho readily prepared
for commerce, and to tlio inventive
e-en us of Connecticut the honthern
States owe the largor psrt of their
wealth and political iinjiortunce. nr

Ono thing added givat bitterness to my

think I bad fled to defraud thorn, and
my name would be stigmatized.

only one aperture lnrgo enough to ad
mit hiin, I closed It to prevent his es

my hunirer. Bnd- my hand was raised
to kill him, when a thought occurred to
mo that prevented the blow from de
scending. I hail two fish lines ; their
united length would reach to the road.
I took off my shirt, tore it into strings,
tied them togethor, and on to tho fish
line. I wore A lone, irold watch chain.
I tied it onto tho part of tho lino that

several leaves from my diary, wrote on

tho line, and I knew by tho way he
was pulling that ho was making des
perate attempts to escape.' Soon the
tugging stopped, and knowing gnawing
to bo Jack's chief accomplishment, 1
thought ho had cut himself looso.
About three hours afterward I felt the
lino pulled, and somo ono called; I
tried to answer, but tho hoarse noise 1
made died in tlr cavern. 1 then pull

"All grew still again, and I knew

USEFULNESS OF THE ROBIN.
Pitying tho ignorance of farmers,
nnd con n try -people generally, touching
the habits and usefulness of the robin,
nnd pitying equally the poor bird itself
for the abuse which this lenorance
brings upon it, Caroline Bryoe, in the
April j iiruruiiM, uas renuereu a servico
to both bv pointing out In a very in-
lorosliiig way tbo value of the bird to
the country, and the mistake that is
made in nttoniirlinir to drive if rrom
our fields and groves. "The robin has
two broods in A season, each brood
varying in numlier from two to five.
Tho voiimr' are fed exclusively on In
sects, and their rapid growth and con
sequent, voracity, only equaled try the
larvn stage of insccLlifu, makes an
abundant supply of insect food , an in
dispensable requirement. Tho food of
tho mother-bird Is also f bierly Insects,
and this double demand makes the
robin a valuable assistant to the farmer
and horticulturist in Ireeprng under in
sect pests, i Keganling its supposed
habit of cherry eating, tho author is of
opinion that it is attracted chiefly liy
tho color of tlio fruit, and not by any
special liking' for U as food ; Unit It
picks the clwrries for the same reason
that it picks to pieces a xed flower.
Instead, of being an emiiuy to the
chorrv crop, it is really a mont import
ant nld in scenringan aliuwlant supply
of healthy fruit Jf I should venture
to say that not a cherry would grovr,
fit to be enton, were It not tbr tb birds,
the hare Idea would be hooted as pre
posterous, yet such, nevertheless, Is my
belief. Were It possible to remove all
tbo birds out of the way, for one season
st least, what decided difference
would our future orchards present!
Where now aro thrifty growths, beauti
ful leafage, and large rroiia of fair
fruit, would bo seen stinted, moss-grown
limlis, with sparce or meagre loliaga,
crops of tlwartM speTrmeTis, that have
finished' their growing, in' a knotty,
wormy, Inferior, state. , Tbo majority
or all the large families of insects are
bred la different stage of existence,
and are devoured by binls of every
description, chief among which stands
onr friend the robin."

'ONE'S CHANCES OF LIVING.
A medical writyr of eminence has
boon - collecting evidence as to tho
chances of life which children have,
upon being born, in different countries.
Out of 10,000 children bom it is found
from official statistics that m Norway
as many as 7,415, or roughly speaking,
three out of every four, live to lie
twenty ycarsof ago. In England only
.0,627 so live, or 788 ; lower than .
in Norway. In tbo United States boys
have nearly as sord chance of life as in
r.uglun.l, ni.iio'girfs have not. llutin "
France only 5.022, or scarcely more
that one ottt iif two, reach twenty, .
while ill Ireland no more than 4,855,
or actually less than one out of two,
attain that age. . More surprising still
aro the statistic regarding old ago.
Out of tho 10,000, for example, we learn
that in Norway S.487, more than one
out of three, reach seventy ; in England
almost one out or lour; In tbe I nited
States, still men only, one out of four-. ,
a trifle higher thun Kngland ,in Franco,
1,77, 0, or about one of 8J. If thistablo
is to bo depended upon, wo thus loam
that of all countries in the world Nor
way offers tho now-born child the best
chance of long lire, while Ireland offers
tho worst. ' And France, universally,
admitted to be so fur as soil and climatu
aro concerned one of tbo most favored
regions ot the cart h, oilers but 1 it t lo
better chance than Ireland.
