AN HISTORICAL REMINIS
CENCE. An oxcbanire rolutos tlie followinif :
On tlio oamo duy in 1826, tbe meraor
iiblu 4th of July, Thomas Jefferson,
itiu auluor ot the Deciuralion of Inue
liviidenee, and John Adams, tho ablest
advocnto on tbo floor of tho Continen
tal Congress, both died, tho one in
Virginia and tbe other in Massachu
setts. A few days afterwards a pub
lic meeting was new in tho city of
New York to awe appropriate ex
pression to the great loss the country
had sustained in tho death ot two of
bor most honored and patriotic sons.
and Rev. Stepbon N. Rowan, the ora
tor ot the uhv, recommended in the
course of bis address that "a copy of
tue xJcciaruuon oi inucponuonce, ele
gantly engrossed on parchment, be
transmitted, ero it bo too Into, to the
venerable Charles Carroll, of Carroll,
ton, its solo surviving signer, to bo cer
tified by him and used by our Com
mon Council on every succeeding cele
bration of the 4th of July." This sug
gestion having received tbe approval
of tbe Mayor and Common Council,
Sir. Jtowan, in company -with Rev.
John (iibson, of Baltimore, visited,
Mr. Carroll at bis borne in Maryland
on tho 2d of August, 1820, oxactly
fitly years to a day after he had sign
ed tbe great charter of American lib
erty. Mr. Carroll, then 89 years of
age, received his visitors with great
warmth ot ieeling, anu aflr they had
mado known the object of their mis
sion and presented to him a quarto
volume containing the Declaration ol
Independence, executed in tho neatest
style of penmanship, bo appended to
it bis ccrtihcuto ot approbation. Ihis
copy ot tho Declaration, with Mr.
Carroll's oortificato, is carefully pre
served in tho library of tbe City Hall,
JNow loik, and is used as originally
designed on every celebration of the
4th of July. Following is tbe certifi
cule written by tho vonoriiblo patriot,
Charles Carroll, ot Larrollton, tbo min
isters named thorcin being tho wit
nesses :
"Grateful to Almighty God tor tho
blessings which, through Jesus Christ
our Lord, He has conlerred on my be
loved country in her emancipation, and
upon myself in permitting me under
ciroumslanccs oi mercy to live to the
ago of 89 years, and to survive tbo
fiftieth yearof American independence,
and certifying by my present signa
ture my approbation ot tho Declara
tion ot Independence adopted by Con
gress on tbe Fourth of July, in the
year of our Lord, 1770, which 1 origi
nally subscriuca on tne second oay oi
August of the same year, and of which
I am tbo last surviving signer, 1 do
hereby rocommend to the present and
future generations the principles ot that
inmortantdocument as tbo best earthly
inheritance their ancestors could be
queath to tbcm ; and pray that tbo
civil and religious liberties they have
secured to our countrymon may ba
porpotratcd to remotest postority, and

MORE CENTENNIAL.
UROUHDI YOBKTOWN.
Tho surrender of the British Com
mander Lord Cornwallis at. York-
town, in October, 1781, was the great
est event of tho American Revolution.
Tho editor of the Philadelphia Record,
in alluding to this approaching Cen
tennial, says:
Philadelphia should heartily re
snond to the movement already in pro
gress In Virginia toward a befitting
commemoration, on mo ntsiono neiu
of Yorktown, of tho hundredth anni
versary of tho surrender of Cornwallis.
It does not occur until October 19,
1881, but it is not too early to take tho
initial steps for making that Centen
nial the crowning demonstration of the
series ot Centennials which, begin
ning with Lexington and Concord, and
Bunkor Hill and Mecklenburg, in 1875,
have dono so much in the last tour
years to revive American patriotism
and to re awaken the slumbering spirit
of fratomity among the pcoplo of the
different Btatea.
Tho observance in this city of what
is known pre-eminently as the Centen
nial year' of American independence
oxtonded trom May to novemoor, ana
was marked throughout with a pomp
and grandeur which well accorded
with the dignity of tho occasion,
llithor. as to a Mecca of Freedom,
came not only the patriotio cititens of
evory Slate ol our great nopuunc, uui
the (overs of liberty from all lands;
and the world did meet homage to the
sages and heroes who launched our
Ship ofStato on the waters of an un
known sea. Tbat very moch waa
wrought toward a reconciliation ol tbo
estranged sections of tho oountry, and
in effectine a cordial restoration, not
yet completed perhaps, ot tho ancient
amity, more can oe no uounv.
But the declaration of July 4, 1770,
without the victory of October 19,
1781. would have been only an empty
and idlo array of brave words. It was
tbe oword of Washington that made
tbe pen of Jefferson Immortal, ine
prowess of oar arms gave effect to the
wisdom and patriotism of onr Revolu
tionary statosmen and won for as a
place among the nations. The field of
Yorktown transmutcu into taci tne
proclamation at Philadelphia that the
thirteen Colonios wore, and of right
on glit to bo, free and independent
States. AS ine norioia I iryininie eiu
qnenlly Says: "When the old bell In
Independence nail, on July 4, 1770,
ranrr out the Declaration of Indepen
dence, it was glorious sound falling
upon willing ears; but more glorious
till was tho cry of the sentinel that
rang oot on the night of October 19,
1881 : 'Fast one o'clock, ana cornwaino
is taken I' "
In pursuance of th suggestion of
the rirjmi'aa, a preliminary celebra
tion of the surrender at Yorktown will
be bold on the old battle ground Itself
upon the 19th of October next The
readiness with which Norfolk Is reach

ed, and its close proximity to tbe scone
ot tbo proposod observance, insure the
attendance of a great multitude ot peo

seiitatives trom all of the thirty-eight
States of tho Union. The place is of
ospociuliy easy access to i biladel
phians.
In one ot our publio libraries may
be found a printed copy of the "Or
derly Hook of the Beige ot Yorktown
from September 20, 1781, to Novem
ber 2, 1781." This little volume gives
a very interesting inside view ot tbe
strategio etaps which led to the sur
render. To the studont ot history
or, for tbat matter, to anyone else.
who may feel inclined to while away
tho hours of the heated term in mak
ing himself familiar with tbe events
which resulted in the capture of the
uriiisu army at xorktown, we would
suggest an examination of the follow
ing works : Carrington's Battles of the
American involution, Dawson s bat
tles of the United Slates, and John
son's UiBtory ot Greone, Lossing's
Field Book of tho Revolution, and the
sixth volumo of Bancroft's HiBtory
may also be consulted.
Cornwallis doubted the wisdom of
occupying Yorktown, as ordered by
tbe home Government through Clin
ton. It was entirely a Court cam
paign. As early as August 24, Lafay
ette, having concentrated bis forces in
a strong position eight milos distant,
predicted his speedy capture, and ju
bilantly wroto to Vergennes that, "in
pursuance of the immense plan of his
Court," Cornwallis had abandoned tbe
Carolinas. On the very day, August
1, on which Corpwallis occupied York
and Gloucester, in Virginia, Washing,
ton resolved on moving with the
French troops, under Rochamboau,
and the best part of the American
army to the Chosnpeako. But Clin
ton was certain that Washington's oh.
joctivo point was New Y'ork, and it
was not until a month later that it oc
curred to him tbat Washington was
moving soumwara. August 3U, the
Count do Grasso, with twenty-eight
ships of the line and nearly four thou
sand land troops, entered tho Chesa-
feake, moored most ot his fleet in
.ynnhnven bay, blocked up York
river and disembarked at James Is
land 3,000 men. Cornwallis was thus
effectively hemmed in, both by land
and sea. The actual investiture of
Y'orktown began Septomber 28. Sop
tember 29, at night, Cornwallis aban
doned bis exterior posts. At night,
October 5, trenches wore opened by
the allied armies 600 yards from Corn
wallis' works. October 17, Cornwallis
proposod to surrender. The articles
of capitulation wore drafted the next
day. At 4 P. M., Octobor 19, Corn
wallis remaining in his tent, Major
General O'ilara marched the British
forces past the lines of tho combined
armies of America and France, and
made Lis formal surrender to Wash
ington, his troops Piling their arms
upon the gtound. The prisoners num
bered 7,247 regular soldiers and 840
sailors, and 106 guns were taken. Of
tbe patriot forces employed in tbe
scige tbe Kronen supplied7, OOO'and tke
Americans 9,000. All the ships en
gaged in tho investiture, 87 in num
ber, were provided by France.
Such is a brief sketch of an event
which was practically the end of the
struggle for Amorican independence,
although the stupid obstinacy of the
British Court prolonged hostilities for
somo time afterward. But the "mar
blo column" which it waa resolved by
tbe Continental Congress should bo
erected at Yorktown, "with emblems
of the allianco between tbo United
States and "His most Christian Majoa
ty, Louis XVI.," bas never been begun.
If any spot made sacred by Revolu
tionary memories deserves a monu
ment, Yorktown certainly merits this
long doforred honor.
The original draft of tho articles of
capitulation was sold in Wew York,
six or seven years ago, by Dr. Gilbert,
of this city, and was purchased for the
State of Virginia.
Ill NTS FOR LADY TRA VELERS.
A lady should alwaya pack her own
satchel when preparing to travel. In
to this, if there is a possibility tbat she
may be Beparatod trom bor trunk for
a niitht, should be put everything sho
will need for twenty-four hours. If
she is to sleep on tho cars a dressing
sack is proferablo to an ordinary night
robe, since few ladios like to undross
entirely on tbe train, and many ro
movo only their outer garments. A
convenient dressing case of linen, with
pockets for holding brushes and otbor
toilet articles, may bo rolled ap, and
occupies tbe minimum space possible.
Another article usolul for traveling is
a case fur wraps, etc. This caso must
be carriod in a shawl strap. It not
only serves to protect shawls, etc,
from dust, bat can bo need to hold va
rious articlos on the journey. If de
sired, a pocket may be mado on tbe
outsido, open at both ends to hold an
umbrella, and an insido pocket, in three
or four compartments, lor cards, sta
tionery, and other small articles. Up
on an emorgency a great deal may be
packed into otteh a case, and it has
tbe advantage of being far lighter to
carry than an ordinary satchel.
Good taste, as well as prudonco, sug
gests that but littlo jowelry should be
worn on the route, and that what is
worn should not be handsome enough
to attract attention on account of Tut
intrinsio value. The watch should be
kept in an inside pocket and tbe chain
hidden under the drees. When going
any dislanco, tbe safest plan is to pack
valuable jewels In a secure case and
send them by express to their destina
tion. It will cost more, of oourse, but
tho oxpress companies are responsible
for their safe delivery.
When traveling for pleasure, take as
littlo baggago as possible. No one who
has not tried both motbods has any
idea of the comfort of moving in light
marching order, a compared with
lugging around half a aor.on huge
trunks. It is wonderful, also, to the
uninitialod. how little baggage is real
ly nocossary. At Saratoga or Now.
port, It is true, many clothes are need
ed, and many trunks required to noia
them ; but these may usually be check
ed straight through, and await you at
the end of the ournoy.
In the packing of bonnets or hats
metal boxes are very useful when the
bonnets are not very numerous, as are
stout wicker bonnet baskets, as tboy
are light snd not easily broken when
traveling.
Too much care cannot bo taken in
tbe packing of bottles, which should
have leather fitted casos to them or
wickor cases, otherwise, tbey should
he packed In a leather or tin box.
They should nevor be placed unprotec
ted amongst the linen or dresses at the
moment of departure, or some disaster
would bs certain to occur. A bottle

WAS YOUNG NAPOLEON MAR
RIEDtA QUEER STORY.
A London lettor says : Is it not
enough tbat the Prince Imperial should
have been killed r Why must he be
married too? Are thero no limits to
political hatred? Whon tbo Princo
set out for Zululand there was some
talk about a bethrothal to the Princess
Beatrice, and now La Petit Lyonnais
publishes an extremely circumstantial
and ingenious story to this effect. Act
I. l,ast year about tho close of tbe
bathing season a couplo took lodgings
ltath I where nobody ever goes to
bathe bo it observed) in England. Tbo
gentleman was young and looking
"liko a Frenchman wboso vivacity had
been extinguished by an enfeebled
constitution ; the lady was tall, of
light complexion, and spoke English
with a slight German accent. They
had a nurso and a child three or four
months old. Alter a week the hus
band left Bath. Ho roturncd several
times to see his wifo, on somo occasions
wearing tbo uniform of an officer of
artillery. Tboy lived in strict seclu
sion having but one visitor, tbo priest
of a neighboring church. Aot II.
When tho Zulu war broke out tbe
husband went to this priest and said
he was ordered to Africa ; family rea
sons did not pormit him to roveal bis
name or avow bia marnago ; would
the priest during his absonco act as
protector of bis wifo and child ? The
good Father consented, and when the
news ol the i'rince linponal s death
was received, sent the paper to tho
lady to cheer her up, as ft wore. Sho
read a few lines and promptly swooned.
Act III. Thatsame afternoon a blonde
woman In deep mourning arrived at
Chiselhurst (ol course by special train
trom tbe far west of England) and beg
ged with tears an audience of tbo Km-
firess. It was refused, but she had a
ong interview with Fathor Goddard.
Noxt day ebo came back, but was still
not admitted. Act IV. Hor disap
pearance being noticed at Buth the
priest at tbat place was surprisod,and,
with the well-known discretion ot bis
order immediately went into tbe pub
lic placo and told all that ho knew
about this woman. "But," said a by
stander who must have come up by
express from Kent, "that's procisoly
tbe description ot the mysterious wo
man at Chisolhurst." So both of tbem
ran and brought a photograph' of tbe
Imperial, ibo priest, immediately on
seeing it cried : "That is the husband
of this young woman." Could any
thing be more interesting? It is a
reproach to tbe Paris papers and to
tbe London correspondent of our own
Evening Post tbat it should- first have
seen tho light in a penny journal at
Lyons, mere aro some lacts, it win
have been observed, however, which
it is not easy to reconcile with its strict
accuracy. Thus, people do not go to
Hath to take sea baths as wo have
hinted, among other reasons, because
the oily of King Bladudand Boau Nash
is not on tbe sea. Again, tbe Prince
Imperial at that particular season was
makinir a very extended tour on the
Continent. 1 hirdly, nobody ever saw
an Englishman in the uniform of an
artillery officer fivo minutes after bo
was released from duty. Fourthly,
what earthly blonde woman, not an
Amorican, could recover from a swoon,
get a suit of mourning and travol from
Wiltshire into Kent by the same al tor-
noon ? Fillhly, how did tho mixed

A Now York railroad bus recently
issued an exceedingly irritating and
eruol, not to say inhuman, order. The

upon tbo billsido, but thoy aro the
human figuioe iu the foreground.
There Is the dairymaid daintily balanc
ing a pail upon hor head, tho farmer's
daughter, per chance, on hor way to

female holpora picking berries and
bops, weeding tho market gardens or

be picks up a distant acquaintance all
along his routo, nodding in friendly
mood to one, throwing a kiss at anotb
er who happens to particularly strike
bis lancy, and metaphorically shaking
hands with tbem all. And sometimes
the picture bocomcs a moving one. A
nod of tbo bead givos sign of recogni
tion, or somo saucy country lass, just
for the fun of the thing, you know,
puts tbo tips ot her lingers to her lips
and returns to the naughty brukeman
a full acknowledgement of ber roccipt
of his hearty greeting. Perhaps, oc
casionally it is a farmer's pert young
wile, who, regardless of bor vows,
wickedly exchanges significant glances
with tbe halo and hearty follow who
daily passes bor door ; and this tick los
the depraved brukeman, as be thinks
of the conquests bo baa made and how
furious this husband or that lover
would be if ho only knew of tho fur

kisses which wero bestowed where thoy

All this ol course might be very

ABRAHAM LINCOLN AND DAN
RICE.
The St. Louie Republican recently
gave an account ot tbe intimate rela
tions ot Mr. Lincoln with Dan Rice,
tho Amorican circus clown, that illus
trates the tastos and manners of the
late President Vouching for tbo
story as "unimpoaehable," and alluding
to tbo early acquaintance ot luce and
Lincoln, the iirpubUcan says:
" IV henevor Hico visited W asbington
with his show during the gloomy years
from 1801 to 1HII5, ho was invited to
oome to the White House after the
evening performance, and usually the
rresidunlial carnago was waiting lor
him, ao tbat be might got there as
soon as possible Lincoln received him
in bis privato olllce, and all ooremony
being laid aside, the two would ex
change stories and jokes, live ovor by
gone times and scones in which the
humorist predominated, and bavo a
mutually refioshing season of it. On
one of theso occasions whon, as usual,
orders bad been given to admit nobody,
a card was brought up. Lincoln re
buked the servant lor the anwolcomed
interference, and then looked at the
card, said, "Well, Dan, there's ne help
lor it ; we must let him in. lie n a big
bug from Massachusetts, and it won't
do to deny him now that ho'a sent his
name. But you stay, and I'll soon get
rid of hi in." Accordingly in a tew
minutes a gonuino representative of tho
highest respectability of Boston mado
bis appearance ; and saluting tbe Pres
ident with profound dignity, announced
himself as a oommittoe appointed to
present a set of resolutions lately pass
ed at a largo Republican meeting in
bis state. Theso resolutions, aa .Lin
coln knew, embodied a rather severe
criticism of Administrative policy, at
that time too mild to suit tbe Massa
chusetts "stalwarts." Listening at
tentively to tho preliminary remarks
of the Boston gentleman, be took tbe
paper ; but without making any roply
to the contents or comments, said :
'Bog pardon, Mr. ; but bclore we
proceed further, let me introduce to
rou my particular tnend, Mr. Dan
Rice." Dan stood up and delivered
his bost bow, but tbo committee was
struck dumb with amazement and in
dignation. To be introduced to a cir
cus clown by tho President ot tbo
United states was too much tor him.
He grew red in the luce, stared first at
one and then at the other, and at last
managing to stammor out a few words
of leave-taking, departed in haste. As
tho door closed upon him, Lincoln
turned to Rice with a hearty laugh,
and said : "Dan, wasn't that well done?
Didn't it take the wind out of him
nicoly?" Dan admitted tbat it was a
perfect success, and the interrupted
conversation waa resumed with re
newed zost."
Somo people possessing very loyal
natures may be ready to disnute this
fact, but a littlo reflection wilt consoli
date facts sufficient to convince tbe
most skeptical on Lincoln's levity.

Confusion A mono Primitive Rack.
Conlession was common, not only in
Mexico and Pern, but among widely
remote savago tribe, being closely
oonnected with the belief in tbe power
of sin to cause, and of priostcratt
to onre, dongorous sickness. 1 ho Car
rier Indians of North America thought
that tbe only chance of recovery from
aickboss lay io a disclosure before the
priost of every secret crime committed
in life, and that the concealmont of a
single loat would meet with the pun
ishment of Instantaneous death. Tbe
Samoan Islandors, believing that all
disease waa due to me wratn oi some

doity, would inquire of the village
priest th cause of sickness, who would
sometimes in such cases command the
family to assemble and confess. At
this oonfcssional ceremony each mem
ber ol tbe family would confeaa his
orimes, and any judgment he might
have invoked in anger on lb lamuy
or the invalid himself ; long concealed
orimes being olten thus disclosed. In

Thore is one subject well worthy tbe
careful study of every bousokoeper ;
and that is, how she may simplify
work. If she will sit down daily with
pencil in hand and jot down Item as
they occur to the mind when running
through mentally the day's routino,
she will see where time, strength and
labor may be very properly saved. A
simple pudding for dosert take much
less time to make than a pie or two,
and is far more healthful and quite as
anpotizing. let, now many women
slave ovor a hot kitchen stove baking
pies interminably for tho family din
ner. To be good, nearly every kind of
pio should bo eaton the day it is baked ;
so tho same process needs to be gone
through with every morning. Some
sadly pampered households make this
domand on a housekeeper s strength
three timos a day, and unusually reap
the fruits of tbeir folly in miserable
years or dispcpsia and a hundred kin
dred ills. -
It is mainly in cooking that a house.
wifo can save herself, and tbat too wilh
equal profit to the family purso and
health. Simply cook vegetables in
abundance, a bountiful dish of oat meal,
with rich milk, and augar, if you like

VILE LITERATURE.
The Catholic Standard, speaking of
tbe ruin wrought among young peoplo
by dovounng tbe demoralizing reading
mutter so freely spread before tbem at
low prico, says : "Is it not time lor
parents to look into this matter ? The
country i flooded wilh trash published
specially for the young much of it
written by authors who wish to be con
sidcred respectable, and bearing tbo im
print of respectable publishing houses.
The most dangerous portion, too,
of this trash seems, to a superficial ex
aminer, harmless, to be at worst only
silly and exaggerated and highly color
ed. But in those seemingly innocent
exaggerations and high colorings lie
bid a subtle poison. It dissatisfies its
readers with their commonplace rou
tine of youthful duties, with subordi
nation to the authority of parent and
teachers. It causes thorn to long to
be independent to strike out in lito
few W. wad tea, -ao booome intra euad
women at once, though they nave
not yet outgrown the garb of child
hood. It stimulates precociously tbeir
immaginations and passions and pre
pares tbem for vice and orime. Many
a father and mother who mourn in
agony, hopes blasted in a ruinod
daughlor or son might find tbe cause,
it disposed to review tbe past, in his or
ber own neglect to superviso and di
rect what that daughter or son habit
ually read when a child. There is a
responsibility here which few parents,
it is greatly to be feared, fully realize
or faithfully discbarge. There are
parents who carelully endeavor to
guard their children against forming
intimacies wilh other children Dy
whom tbeir morals might be corrup
ted, but who exercise no care as to
what books aud papers their children
read. Yet in this age of universal
reading, the lattor is a danger almost,
not quito as serious as tbe former, and
one tbat should be diligently guarded
against.
THE MISSING LINK.
Mr. Goldie, the naturalist, who has
paBsod tbe last eighteen months in
New Guinea in search of plants for
Mr. B. S. Williams, of Holloway, has,
tbe Brisbane Courier states, collected
an immense number of animals, birds,
and insects, besides valuable botanical
specimens, and bolievoa that a largo
number ot theso are entirely unknown.
Ho claims to have found an entirely
new specie of kangaroo. He brought
with mm native trom tbo coast
tribes, a good-looking lad of indistinct
Malay origin, whoso lung irizziy
bair, lied round wilh a string, is worn
straight up. The native of the in
land tribes, Mr. Goldie states, to been
tiroly different from those on the coast
in both appearance and customs, but
all. bo says, aro friendly and good-na
tured, and not given to the deeds ot
ferocity lately detailed by ns on tbe
authority cf the residents at a beche-
demer station. Mr. Goldie waa of the
party that made its way to the coast,
crossing about twenty flooded rivers,
and losing horses and baggage, and
state that although thoy crossed some
high ranges tbey never reached tbe
dividing range, on the other aide of
which tbe general ooliet among me
party was that payable gold would be
found. The natives in the interior are,
it appears, so awed at the sight of a
white man as to obviate any risk of
molestation, lbe custom ol a tribe
nb whom Mr. Goldie' party camo
in contact suggested to tliom the pro
bable origin ol tbe rumors tbat bave
been alwaya current of a race of tailed
men in some remote corner of the
globe. These natives wear artificial
tails of such cunning constructions aa
to entirety mislead a casual onaervor.
They are entirely naked, except for a
caudal ornament, which is a plait of
grass fastened round tbeir loins by a
fine string, and dopending behind to
about halt way down their legs, A'oeel-

The most encouraging reports have
reached us from a number of townships
to the effect that wage bave been
either slightly advanced or retained at
reasonable figures, and tbe length ot
the school term increased. The town
ships taking the lead in this direction
are as follows : Girard township, term
7 months ; Goshen township, term 6'
and maybe 7 months ; Huston town
ship, term 8 months; Gulich township,
term 0 months, and increased salaries :
Sandy township, term 6 months, ana
increased salaries ; Boll township, in
creased salaries.
Tbe Superintendent of Centre coun
ty, in his annual report, says "tbat the
County institute wilt likely be remov
ed trom liuiioionto, because the people
of that town do not support the cause
very liborally, financially or mornuy,
by their presence." Thia is indeed a
humiliating reflection upon the boasted
intelligence and culture of the home of
famod and ostensible Congressmen,
Senators and ox-Governors, who, in a
measure, willed the destiny ot that
mountain town. We are glad to say
that Clcai field set an example just the
opposite of this, and ono worthy th
emulation ol the etue oi uciieionie.

at any special examination, anions b
or she presents a certificate, signed by
a lull Board ot Directors, gmng me
most plausible reasons for their absence
from ths publio examination.
2d. As we will bave long drives, and
desire to open each examination at 8
o'clock A. M., ws shall esteem it a
great lavor if Lb Directors having tbe
uilding in chargo will see that it is
opened, aired, and put in proper order
for the examination.
