l.AKATIO.N.
The Declaration was written by
Jefferson, as he himself stated in a
letter to Dr. Mease, in his lodging
house at the south-west corner ofMar
ket and SeTcnth streets. The house
is still standing, and is occupied by a
tailor, who shows his patriotism by
calling his shop the "Temple ofLiber
ty Clothing Store." The instrument
was signed, as our renders know, in
the east room of the State-house, on
the lower floor. It appeared in the
next day's paper (side by side with an
advertisement of a negro child for sale
who had the measles and small-pox,)
but was not officially given to the peo
ple until noon-day on the 8th of July,
whea it was read to a large concourse
of people in the State-house yard by
John Nixon, deputed to the task by
the Sheriff of Philadelphia, who had
received it from the committee. The
stage on which the reader stood was a
rough wooden platform on the line of
the eastern walk, about half way be
tween Fifth and Sixth streets.- Debo
rah Logan, who lived in the neigh
borhood, states that she heard from
the garden every word of the instru
ment read, and thought the voice was
Charles Thompson's. In spite of all
evidence in favor of Nixon, we choose
to believe her. The Man of Truth
should have first made known those
words to humanity. Cheers rent the
welkin, a fevdejoie was fired, the
chimes of Christ Church rang through
all the bright summer day, and the
old bell gave at last to the world the
message it had received a quarter of a
century before, and proclaimed liber
ty to all the world.
The daily papers little thin sheets
a few inches square give us for weeks
afterwards accounts of the rejoicing
and wild enthusiasm of the other
Provinces as the Declaration reached
them. In New York one singular
effect produced was that "a general
jail delivery of all prisoners took
place, in pursuance of the Declaration
of Independence by the lion. Con
gress." Harper1 Magazine.
A train was carrying a clergyman
and five or six youths who kept scoff
ing at religion and telling disagreea
ble stories. The good man endured
it all, simply remarking as he got
out: "We shall meet again, my chil
dren." "Why shall we meet again?"
said the leader of the band. ''Bo
cause I am a prison chaplain." Was
the reply. '
An exchange say: "Why is it
that the largest shirt button to be
found is always put upon the collar
band ?" It is not always. The larg
est button is only used until the but
ton hole in the collar becomes worn
.to double its original size, then the
smallest button is put on the band
instead. Danbury News.
Much has been said about' the go-ahead-itiveness
of the Western people,
but there is many a man in the region
of Chicago who has been known to
top short in the midst of an import
ant job just to watch an Illinois girl
trying to climb a hay stack.
The man who said he'd "never run
away from danger, all got to die
some time, you know," was observed
felting round the corner in a very
ively time the other day, when a
team of horses ran away with a wagon
load of giant powder.
An elder Wicklow maiden, who had
suffered some disappintraent, thus de

confusion, conceit and boots. Woman
the waiter, perforce, on the afore
said animal.
. A Minnesota lady, in taking her
morning gape lately, put her jaw out
of joint, and it was two days before
the doctor oould get it in place again.
Her husband says he hasn't had such
a vacation since his married life be
gan. A skating rink accident is thus de
scribed by a.Kentuckey reporter:
"She struck out couldn't turn star
ted for the ceiling shouted don't you

A fashion chronicler says:. "Old
lace is more fashionable and more
worn than new." Old clothes are
more "worn" than new, too, and it is
boped the time will soon come when
they will be more fashionable.
A subscription paper was lately cir
culated with the following object in
view : "We subscribe and pay and
the amount sot against our names fur
the purpose of paying the organist
and a boy to blow the same !"
Miss Rose "Goodness f "Hie fire is
out. I thought it was very cold."
Beau "Shall I get my overcoat and
put it on you T" Miss Rose "Oh, no ;
but (glancing at the clock) hadn't you
better put it on yourself?"
m Dr. Hall says that people some
times take cold through their ears.
This explains why a Milwaukee man
always stulTs his ears up with horse
blankets and bufiulo robes iu damp
weather.
"Cemetery" is the name of a new
station on the Stony Creek 'railroad.
All "dead-heads" are expected to 'get
off at this station.
An Irishmau onco ordered a paiu
