Tlie Flag Presentation at Phil
adelphia on tlie Fourth Inst.
Speech of Gov. Curtin.
The presentatioa and reception of tho
State flags, in Philadelphia, on the 4th
insfc., was one of the most imposing dis
plays ever witnessed in that city. Tho
procession was very large, while the
crowd of spectators wa3 almost innumera
ble. Tho exercises were opened by tho
phying of the "Triumphal March" by
UirgGeld's Band. After a few eloquent
introductory remarks by Gen. Harry
White, the chairman of the Committee of
Arrangements, a moat' fervent and patri
otic prayer vra3 offered by Rev. Thomas
Ikainard, D. D. After prayer, tho Ilnn
dcl and Haydn Musical Society sang the
"Star-spangled Banner," accompanied by
the band. The grand ceremonial cf the
day then took place. Major-C en. Meade,
in "few words fitly chosen," presented tho
colors to Governor Curtin, by him to be
taken in charge and deposited in the
State Capitol. Governor Curtin replied
as follows :
nOVERXOIt curtin'3 speecii.
General and soldiers of le7insylcania :
Soon after the commencement of the
late rebellion, the Cincinnati Society ot
Pennsylvania presented to tho Governor
of tho State a sum of money, which they
asked to be used in the equipment of vol
unteers. The sum was too small to bo of
material service in that respect, and the
subject having been presented to the Leg
islature, an act was passed directing the
Governor to use the money, and whatever
additional sums were necessary, to pro
cure flags to bo carried by Pennsylvania
regiments during the war; and with a
wise provision that the flags should be re
turned to the Stato at the close of their
service, with proper inscriptions, to be
made archives of the Government. The
ceremony of tho return of these flags was
delayed until all the regiments in the ser
vice from Pennsylvania had been muster
ed out, and to-day, surrounded by your
fellow-citizens and in the presence of high
officials of tho National Government, of
Governors and officials of sister States, of
distinguished soldiers of other States, and
of the army and navy of the United
States, and the representatives of the
government of this Commonwealth, more
than two hundred of these emblems of
our country's nationality, all of which
have waved amid the rapture of strife all
of which have been carried by Pennsylva
nians are returned untarnished. In
their azure fields the arms of Pennsvlva-
nia have been emblazoned, and her motto,
" Virtue, Liberty and Independence" has
been written in letters of fire, with pens
of steel, by tho gallant men before us,
and their comrades, living and dead, upon
every battle-field of the war. The record
is glorious, in memories of the past and
in hopes of the future.
If I consulted my own feelings I would
receive these flags in ei'ence, for this oc
casion is its own most eloquent orator.-
My words cannot add to its sublimity.
Human lips cannot express such lessons
of patriotism, of sacrifice aud heroism t
these eacrcd relics sublimely attest. The
man is to be pitied who claims to be
a citizen of our America, especially o
Pennsylvania, who has witnessed these
ceremonies without profound emotion,
aliko cf sorrow and exultation sorrow for
the dead who died for liberty, exultation
in recalling the blessings of God, the laws
vindicated and enforced by the suppres
sion and punishment ol treason, the Gov
eminent protected and maintained, until
tho last armed reool was beaten down, and
the redeemed Republic emerged from the
smoke ot battle.
It might bo better to accept the mo
mentous lessons taught by these returned
standards without a woid. In what adc
quatc language can we address you, sol
dicra of the Republic, who live to tak
part in tuis ceremony r Wc havo no
words to convey tho holy sentiment cf
veneration and of reverence lor the heroic
dead that wells up from every heart in
your presence. '
To the men who carried the steel, the
musket and the Fabre to tho privato
soldier, to tho unknown dead the denn
cod3 of the war, wo this day tcck in vain
to express all our gratitude. If thero be
men more distinguished than others, more
entitled to our highest veneration, it is
tho private eoldier of tho Republic. If
we follow him through all the sufferings
and privations of the service, his long,
weary marches, his perils on the outposts,
his wounds and Eickucss, oven m tho ar
ticle of.death, we trace him back to that
sentiment of devotion to his country that
led him to separate from home and its
tie3, and to offer even his hie a sacnaee
to the Government his fathers gave him
and his children. As tho official rcprc
scntative of the Commonwealth, I cannot
take back the remnants of tho colors she
committed to your keeping without at
tcmptic" to gather into my orm.3 the ful
measure of her overflowing gratitude and
lay it at your fect. I thercforo present
I "WOULD RATIIER BE RIGHT THAN PRESIDENT. Hsxby Clay
EBENSBURG, PA., THURSDAY, JULY
mother, this ancient and goodly Common
wealth of Pennsylvania, for the great
glory you have given to her history. She
fully realizes, and while public virtue re
mains she will never cease to realize, that
she could better afford to lose the sources
of her natural wealth, her rich fertile
valleys, her great cities, her cxhaustless
minerals, than to lose from her archives a
single one of these lorn, faded, precious,
consecrated flags of battle and its history,
and of the brave men who suffered and
fought around them. A Commonwealth
may exist without cherishing her material
wealth, but no Commonwealth can worth
ily, or should exist, which doe3 not cher
ish as the joy of its life, the heroic valor
of its children.
In the name of Pennsylvania I gave you
these standards, fresh and whole, atd
asketi you, m an trials, to maintain your
loyalty, and aelenu them, and to-day you
bring them back to mc, torn with rebel
shot, sad with the gloom of some reverses,
bright with tho light cf many triumphs,
but beyond all, saved by your courage
from dishonor, reddened by the blood of
your dead brothors, borne over the ridges
of a hundred battles, and planted, at last,
on the summits of victory. Surely, State
never had nobler children, nor received at
their hands more precious gifts. What
heroism, excelling tho f ables of romance ;
leading forlorn hope3 ; charging into the
imminent deadly breach : "ndincr into
the jaws of death till all the world won
dered !" what sufforincs of iain and
hunger, and
outrage
and death : what
ardent love of home : what tender mes
sages to mother, wife, children and be
trothed maiden : what last prayers to orod,
do these oM and tattered flags suggest and
unfold !
The State will guard them reverently
and lovingly until, in the fullness ot time,
eome genius will aiise to marshal their
legends into the attractive order of history,
or wcavo them into the immortal beauty
of poetry, and then, at last, will be found
fit expression for the part Pennsylvania
has acted in the bloody drama. It will
then be remembered that our State was
represented at Fort Sumter, when traitors
first fired upon the flag of the Union, and
that the volunteers ot our State first
reached the National Capital, and were at
Appomattox Court House, where traitors
fired their last volley, and in till tho ter
rible intermediate struggles iu every re
bellious State, in every important battle
on land and water, where treason was to
bo confronted and rebellion to be conquer
ed, the 6oldiers and sailors of Pennsylva
nia were to be found confronting the one
and conquering the other that her peo
ple never faltered in their fidelity to their
distressed Government.
It was in due historic fitness, therefore,
that tho wicked struggle to destroy the
Union, should culminate upon our soil, its
topmost wave be dashed against our capi
tal, and its decisive defeat be suffered
here, and accordingly from Gettysburg
tho rebellion staggered backward to its
grave.
Alas I how many other graves it filled
before it filled its own. ilow many brave
and familiar faces we miss to-day who
helped to bear these colors to the front,
and on whoso graves are growing the wild
flowers of the Southern land !
Our words can no longer reach them,
nor our gratitude serve them ; but we
thank Heaven that those they loved,
better than life, are with us j that tho
widow of the war, and the orphan chil
dren of the soldiers, arc within the reach
of our cherishing care. We muct never
forget that every soldier of Pennsylvania,
who died that the nation might live,
thereby entitled his widow to be kept from
want, and his fatherless children to find a
father iu the Commonwealth.
May the flags which we fold up so
tenderly, and with such proud recollec
tions, never be unfurled again, at least in
such a war ; and may all mankind, be
holding the surpassing power of this free
government, abandon forever the thought
ol its destruction. Let us remember, too,
that at Gettysburg the blood of the people
ot eighteen loyal States rich, precious
blood mingling together, sank into the
soil of Pennsylvania, and "by that red
covenant are we pledged for all time to
Union, to liberty, to nationality, to fra
ternity, to "peace on caith and good will
towards men."
Now that the war is over, wc give peace
to those who gave us war. And iu the
universal freedom, purchased at so large
a cost ot blood and treasure, wc give true
justice to all men. Under tho benedic
tion of even justice to all, and inviting
;hem to obedience to the law, to iudustry
and virtue, wo offer them the glories of
"the future and the sacred blessing3 of
freedom for them and their children.
We ask them to forget their malice and
hate, and the counsels of tho insane and
wicked men who first led them to strike
at the heart of their country, and to return
to a participation in the rich rewards in
store for this the freest and most power
ful nation on earth.
But for vou and your comrades, rebel
lion would have become revolution, and
the enemies of freedom and united na
tionality would have achieved their infa
mous rurnoscs. Under uoa wo tri
umphed. The right has been maintained.
And to you, in the name of all the people
of this meat Commonwealth, 1 tender
.

your country's grandeur, and to enjoy the
TjriCeleSS bleSSin?S Which must follnw
j. a
lrom the resmt3 of your courage, fidelity
and patriotism.
Tho State of Pennsylvania, during all
your services, has not been unmindful of
you. You were followed to tho battle
fields by the benedictions and prayers of
the good, and benevolent people carried
to you the contributions of the patriotic
and generous at home. Never, at any
time during the war, did this constant
benevolence shrink, aud always good,
Christian men and women were found
willing to endure privation and suffering,
to rcich you on the field and in the hos
pital. So far as it was possible the State
always made ample provision for the
removal of the bodies of the slain for
Christian interment, amid their kindred
and friends. When it was praoticable,
the sic k and wounded were removed to
enjoy the tender watching and care of
their friends at home. And as the
crowning glory of this great Common
wealth, she has gathered together the
helpless and the destitute orphans of
dead soldiers, and adopted them as the
children of the Commonwealth. The
Legislature
of Pennsylvania, moved by
justice
years
and christian charity, for three
have made munificent appropria-
tions of the public money to place within
the care of the State tho homeless little
ones of your dead comrades. They arc to
be brought up as the glory and honor ot
the btatc, a monument that 1'ennsylvania
raises to ine memory oi mo siain, more
enduring than brass or marble, and in
harmony with the christian teachings of
her people. Here are twelve hundred of
. - a it . r i 1 l
these little children before you to-day,
the children of comrades left upon the
ficld3 of battle, bright jewels in the crown
oi giory mat encircles mis great vjommon-

Lct this work bo so now engrafted upon
the public policy ot the State, that it

x ennsyivania soiuier enan do trameu,
nurtured and educated
lcis is a hallowed place this is a
hallowed day. Here and now, in the name
of Pennsylvania, I accept these colors
fitly,' for we are assembled upon the
mi i
birthday in the birthplace of American
liberty.
We are forced to contemplate the won
drous march of this people to empire,
colonization, tho Revolution, the Declara
tion of Independence, the Constitution,
the Rebellion its overthrow, and the
purification of our Government, and the
chancre of our organic laws by the lesson
of discord, and our hopes for the future,
lollowing each other in logical sequence;
and the duty and responsibility of this
labor for mankind are developed by the
grace of Goa and the hearts and arms of our
soldiers upon tho loyal peoplo of this land
In the presence ot these mute symbols
of living soldiers, pointing to the flags;
of yonder touching memorials of our dead
soldiers, pointing to tho children ;J in
fealty to the blood poured out like water;
in remembrance of the sorrow yet to be
assuaged, and the burdens yet to be
borne, the graves yet to be numbered, and
tne norrors yet to ce iorgoucn : in loyauy
to our State, to our country, to our fellow -
men everywhere, and to God, let us rise
to the height or our great privileges, anu
place the American Government upon
the enduring basis of justice and liberty,
This is the great lesson of the war, and
tho very rock of political truth. "Who
soever falls upon it will be broken, and
upon whomsoever it shall fall it will grind
him to powder.
Then our Government will represent
th.6 result of American civilization, and
then these old flags will glow with the
light of their true meaning, and the valor
of the soldiers of tho Republic will receive
its just reward in rendering a memorable
service to mankind : for then, in the words
of our illustrious martyr, we will take
care "that the Government of the people,
by the people, and for the people, shall
not perish irom the earth."

Are Paper Collarg Poisonous I
The question at tho head of this article
is one of great interest and importance,
says the Hound Tallc. Invented almost
by accident, and at first worn only by
young men n arrears with their washer
women, paper collars have? now h.nmo n
popular institution, both in this country
and in Europe. Ladic3 have adopted
them, and comparatively few gentlemen
now prelcr the more expensive but sub
stantial linen. Thousand of rp.reon.
therefore, are deeply anrious in regard to
the recent rumor that these collars are
poisonous. Alanutacturers, who announce
every style of collar and cuff in naner.
may be ruined if their wares are proved
to be detrimental to the health of the
wearers. But in such a matier as this it
would be criminal to conceal the facts.
A Boston paner states that a c.lp.vk- in a
wholesale store in that city was recently
afflicted with a painful eruption about the
neck
rr!.: i
j.uiiih.iuK n was merciv a
boil, he
paid little attentiou to it at first : but
as
luv; puiu giow mure intense i;c was
in-
duced to consult a physician, tvho
iie-
dared that I113 patient was suffering from
. M .. .
the oilects oi poison absorbed into the
system from paper collars. The physi
i . i .1.1 -i-ii
jiau uiau ruiuarKcu mat no nau Leon con
sulted in numerous similar cases, and upon
carctul inquiry it was ascertained that
half a dozen of the young clerk's compau-
ions, all of whom wore paper collars, were
constantly troubled with the same eruo
tiens.
But, without attempting to arcue from
these cases, let us look at the sreneral facts
in
regard to paper collars. In order to
imitate linen as nearly a3 possible, tbeso
collars are enameled, and in this process
arsenic 13 used. Ijvervbodv knows that
the enamel upon visitiug cards is poison
ous. Children have died from be:n al
lowed to play with such cards. It will be
remembered that the first importation of
swans tor the Central l'ark were. poisoned
by some careless and thoughtless persons
who threw pieces of card-board into the
lake for the swans to eat. One would
suppose that a knowledge of facts like
these would loner since have Aroused the
suspicions of the public aa to the danger
from paper collars prepared m the same
way as card-board : but the majority of
I people did not reflect upon the subject at
all, or lell into the error of believing that
the enamel was only poisonous when eaten
It is easily susceptible of proof, bow
ever, that arsenic is
ery deleterious no
matter bow it may bo
absorbed into tho
system. When taken
directly into the
stomach it may be more fatal ; but when
it enters through the pores of the skin
and miect3 the blood, its operations are
I hardly less deauly, although they may be
slower. The very name of the arsenic,
derived from the Greek, announces its
I power of destroying men. The workmen
wno prepare it are oDiigeu to urcss in a
1 costume and helmet of leather, the eyes
J protected by glasses and tho nostrils by a
wet sponge : but m spue ot these precau
I tions and a carefully regulated diet, they
only average thirty years of life, lnstan
ces are on record of persons who have died
from sleeping in rooms covered with
arsenical paper, and the green wall-paper,
i i
oneo so mucn in use, is now almost
completely discarded because of the ar
senic employed in it3 manufacture. Here
is a poison, then, which is equally dan
gerous, whether eaten, inhaled or absorbed,
and which is used to enamel the collars
to be worn around the neck. It thus
enters the system through the pores,
reaches the blood directly when the skin
is frayed, and, being rendered volatile by
the heat of the body, ia also inhaled at
every breath. Could anything be more
dangerous, more pernicious ?
But although wo are compelled to
answer the question, Are paper collars
poisonous ? in the affirmative, some per
sons may object that they have worn
these collars for a long time without
perceiving any evil effects. This may be
true, and yet t'.ic effects may exist. The
eruptions which afHicted tho Boston clerk
were the protests of nature against the
poison which ho was absorbing. In all
strong constitutions nature can make such
urotests and utter such
warnings
ajrainst
further indulgence : but in
the weak the
poison may do leit to uo its cieaaiy worn
without any outward sicrn ot uamrer. e
recall the case of an invalid American at
Paris, who was accustomed to smoke a
new clay pipe every day. These pipes
were whitened with arsenic, as the paper
collars are, and the poison was released
by the hea.t of the burning tobacco, just
as it is released from the paper collars by
the heat of the body. The smoker
slowly but steadily declined, and not
until after h"i3 deceaso did the physicians
discover that they. Lad cured his original
malady, and that he had died of arsenical
poisons.
Many men and all the hHcs who wenr

paper collars are liable to the same grad
ual poisoning. Tint they have no erup
tions upou tho neck is enly a proof of
their greater peril; for it shows that
their system is so corrupted or weakened
as to .take in the arsenic without that
natural, healthy resistance which produces
soics or boils. On tho r.tl.nr in.,.i i

easy work a few years ago, aud is now, iu
the old-fashioned institutions which have
no foreign or country exchange. But no
factory or machine shop kcep3 men on the
jump aa decs a live bauk iu this wido
awako city. I was in one of these institu
tions yesterday which is not jet ten years
old. Its army of clerks have to hn nn
h:
is lighted. Its capital is two millions,
and its daily receipts seven million dollars.
It receives daily from two hundred and
fifty to four hundred lettcrr, all of which
have to be registered and answered before
the busi-ess of the day ends. No bauk
clerk on c salary of a thousand dollars a
year goes io his bank as regularly, or
works a3 many hours, as William B.
Astor, who counts up his forty millions.
His little one ttory office, a step or two
from Broadway, on Prince street, with its
iron bars, making it resemble a polico
prison, is where he performs his daily
toil, and out of all his wealth and labor,
he gets only his "victuals and elothes."
He attends personally to all" his business;
knows every dollar of rent or income that
is to become due, pays out every dollar,
makes his entries in his own hand, and
obliges his subordinates to come to hiia
for information, while ho does not go to
them. He generally comes down in the
omnibus at an early hour of the day,
remains closely absorbed in business until
five o'clock. He rarely takes exercise,
and finds hi3 chief pleasure in the closest
attention to his business. A friend of
miue rode to Washington with him in thrj
same car from New York. He neither
spoke nor got off his seat, and hardly
moved, from Jersey City to Washington.
He usually leaves his office at five o'clock,
and walks tlowly up Broadway to Layfay
ette place. He is over six feet high,
heavily built, with a decided German
look; small hazel eyes, as if he was half
asleep, head round as a pumpkin, and
about as destitute of hair. He is exceed
ingly hospitable, and in the "season"
gives a dinner to his friends weekly at
which the richest viands on services of
gold and sitaer are presented by liveried,
servants to his guests.
Commodore Vanderb'ilt never worked
harder in his life never worked more
hours than now. He has a confidential
pcrvaut who works like a pack-horse, who
has been in his employ thirty years.
Besides this, Yanderbilt does hia own
business, makes and executes his own
contracts, and this, with the business ho
does on twenty millions, is no small toil.
The Commodore goe3 down to his business
regularly every day, and can be found at
certain hours. His only recreation is a
game at euchre and fast horses.
Moses Taylor, whore dividends from
coal stock alone this year reached the pret
ty little sum of a milliAn dollars, began
the business in New York when he was
sixteen years of age, kept his books with,
his own bauds, and has done eo ever
since. His library in his house in Fifth
Avenue is a regular workshop. Every
night he brings up bis business with his
own hand. I li3 vast business, personal
to himself, and his busiucss as trustee, ia
kept by himself. He makes all tho or
iginal entries of sort and kind, and goes
to his office for no information, and ho
knows just how things must be there to
be right ; and should every record kept
by his book-keepers and clerks be des
troyed, it would make no difference with
him, for lie has the originals in his own
hands. Many merchants spend the after
noon in riding, or in games, or in the excitement-
iu the evening stock board ; but
Mr. Taylor finds his recreation iu a bath,
a good dinner, comfortable siesta, andL
an evening devoted to work. Such a man
would make money and keep it.
These are only specimens of how the?
men of wealth in our city become men of
toil.
