Early Celebration of the Fourth in Philadelphia Described in Statesman's Letter. MotM and fireworks, parade and . play and even HfWN set their mark upon the anniversary of the nation's birth while the nation was still very font Hnd the tory was yet abroad in the land. A picturesque description of 'he flnt annual celebration of the null n's birthday. 1777. when the United Mates was a year old. is that by John A lams in a letter to his daiiEhtor. written from Philadelphia. "Yesterday being the anniversary of American Independence," he says, "we celeed here with a festivity and ceremony befitting the occasion. 1 went tn hoard th" Delaware with the present and several of the marine committee, soon after which we were saI with I discharee of It pnn. O.nh was followed by 13 others from U h of the armed vessels m the river. 1 he wharves and shores were all lined with a rast eon course of people all Mng and hu77.ainir " After the presidential party had fome ashore there followed, according I Mr. Adams' letter, a "cood dinner B I potf cheer " And there was ''fine niuslc from the band of Hessian t lcn at Trenton and continual volley? lietween every toast from n comI nny of sol. Mors drawn up In Second Btt," Then cam a parade of the 'nipanles and regiments Of the "'nlng celebration he writes: "I was onl walking about the streets for a 11II fresh air and exerc ise an I was rpifni to find that the whole city had liichted un their candles nt th win. lows. T think it was the most RpleadM illumination I ever saw." r I agnin: "I had forgot the ringing of the lells all day and evenlnc and th bonfires In the streets and the fireworks let off ." However, the nMornl Independence was first celebrated July 9 177. four I after the slcnlng of tn P.Tlnntlon, according to Marshal, ;on rrn R-.;nhIne morning," In the yard if the statehoute (at Philadelphia) here. In the presence of a great nrotirse of people, the Declaration i f Independence was read by John Nltoai The company declared their initiation by their repeated huzzas.

Comparatively few of the präsent generation know how near to being lost was once the most prec ious of our national documents, the Declaration of Independence It was during the war of 181J. The lie. laration of Independence hung, for many years, In a frameIn the state department In th rocrn then OOtoptod by Stephen Pleasonton. who moved to Washington in ISOO with the government. Mr. Mouroa. when he whs elected president, created a new offic e, whldi was conferred upon Mr Pleasonton, that of chief of the lighthouse establishment, to which was added the auditing of the ministerial and consular accounts This office was retained by Mr. Pleasonton under all the succeeding administrations until his death, which occurred In IM Mr H.-aseley. commissary of prisoners of war In Indon, forwarded to the sfa-e department some London newspapers stating that the English fleets and transports were receiving troops al Bordeaux. France, with the intention of operating against Washington and Baltimore. Soon after it was learned that the British fleer w.is In the Chesapeake bay. and that it was ascending the Patuxent. The offic i.iiand citizens of the little capital city were hourly expecting an attack. I'pon rece ipt of this Inform ai m, which v.is a few days beiore the NM my entere. I Washington. Mr. Monroe, then secretary of state. James Madison being president, mounted his horse, rode to Benedict, a small village on the Patuxent. where the British forces were l.elng landed, and climbed an eminence within a quarter of a mile of the village. In order to ascertain the strength of the enemy Being convinced after his Inspection that we had no force available that could successfully resist them, he srnt a note to Mr Pleasonton by a vldette, advising him to se that 'he bes care was taken of the books and papers of the state department. Acting at one upon this authority Mr Pleason'on purchased some roars" linen and had it made into brigs of suitable size. In which he. assisted by the others of the office, placed the book and other papers. Mr Pleasonton had the bags onr'ed to a grist mill which he selected as a suitable depository. Th mill, whl h was unoccupied, belonged to FMc.r Paterson. and was situated on the Virginia side of the Potomac, beyond th" Chain bridge, two miles above Georgetown. The las: load had left and Mr Pleasonton was just quitting the varant rooms, when, turning ha s idbnly to see whether anything had ben left tiehlnd. to hi , nstemation he saw the Declaration of hsdapmdaaea, which hael lieen overlooked, still hanging upen the wall. H hastily 001 It out of the frame and carried It away with the other papers. He then In-gan to be uneasy ab"ut the place he' aad chosen, for If the British took Washington, vblch he firmly boHotad they would do. and ery soon at that, they wuld In all probahiU'y deta h a force for the purpose of destroying a 'foundry for the making of cannon and shot in the neighborhood, nnd of conrse would consider a grist mill too valuable a thing t be left standing In a c untry they meant to subdue. Mr. Pleasonton therefore visited some of the Virginia farm houses, whose owners were only too willing to loan him wagons in which to convey the documents fo Leeslmrg. a dlstan e of T.Ö miles. Theo they were deposited in an empty house, the keysof which were given to Rev. Mr. Littlej Ofea, who w s one of the collectors of Internal reven.je?. Worn out wi'h his labors, Mr Pleaaonton states In a letter, he retire! early t led that night and s'ept soundly WH morning he was Informed by the people of the little tivern wlltfl N h-d stayed tlr' tfWiaf that they had Itta during the night, the sani being the 24th of August . I large fire In the dit M 'ion of Wft-hlnje-ton. which prove I t be the lieht fnm the public buildings, which the enemy had set on fire and burned to the zr.nd. WfetQ he rcturncJ tO WttkHsffcJ" Qii the 2fltv. Im foaft4 ' public buildings still burning, ahd learned tha h British army had evar tited the ctt? the preceding evening, In the belief that the Americans were again assembling In the rear for the purpose of cuttlnr off their retreat But as the B-Msh fW 111 hiverref In the neighborhood and threitened Washington with a second Invasion, It was not considered safe to bring the papers of the state department bark for some weck In the meantime Mr Pleasonton made .caslonal trips to Ieosburg for particular papers to which the Ms retnry of s'Tfe had occasion to refer In the transaction of bus!re Never Fight.

Save the Babies. INFANT MORTALITY is something Mgbtfcl. We can hardly realize that of all the children born in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirtyseven per cent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one -half before they are fifteen! We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a majority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium, or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens tho pores of the skin and allays fuver.
