H^uruuseu me Biumoerers, ana every oiu ^^citisen who rolled uneasily at this sudden concatenation oinoises, and, in his agony, kicked his heels thr jugh the clothes, had strength enough left'to exclaim: “Well, I declare, I iorgot! why, it must be Fourth of July!” And in halt an hour the whole

Iwn has joined in the uproar, and there LmoTe concreted noise to the cubio inch Ian was ever known betore on this auspi|us day. The ebullition ot patriotic sentiment Lt finds its outlet in exploding torpe- , fire-crackers and toy pistobshooting, isociated with the incoming,'-coutinu-s and departure ot Independence Day, Is born long ago, tor there has always pn something exhilirating in prociaim- ; oneself an American patriot by resort* ; to either fiery oratory or burning gunbwder. "The day is one ot boisterous, noisy merunent and ot much gaseous omanations. It rtie day ot the year for the young ragamuffins, the Fourth ot July orators and the actors, oither with ball or buskin. It is no-man’s-land in this country from thedawn that announces the approach ot the greater-fight until i;n the earth's revolution, the gray light of the dawning shall be seejpagain. It is the Nation’s birthdayyand therefore the birthday ot every body within the Union, so that an Occasion arises tor mutual pledging of every body's good health. Some of the "thee-thou" good old leather-breeched citlsenB who oelebrated the first anniversary ot this glorious day, are probably still joining in the recurring celebration of their triumph each and every year, for patriotic sentiment, fove of country and desire to celebrate its natal day never die a mere physical death, nor reach a stato of Innocuous desuetude, whatever becomes of the body. Standing and silently the entire Nation drinks to the ever-cherished, honored memory ol the patriots who, in the agony and travail of their souls, and with their blood, gave birth to our great Independence Day, whether it be from out a skull or the drinking horn of the ancient warrior, or from the silver, gold-lined tankard of to-day. For we should all remember the men that gave us the chance —the excuse for—and set us the example of firing off kicking, jumping, rattling crackers and indulging in fire-works and a general hullabaloo! The Fourth of July is a red-letter day for the fads and lassies. Look at them as they are ton the way and at picnics, and about the green svrards of the commons or parks. The young man sports a clean collar and a colored neck-tie, shaven; face, waxed mustache, t.ud in his Sunday-go-to-meeting clothe** he walks erect and looks with smiling face and open, candid eyes at the fair young lassie who, dressed in modest white calico, which sets off a pretty figure not yet warped and disfigured by hard labor, and wearing a natty • hat made and remade by her own nimble fingers, smiles and laughs in return. And as they walkfim and on, gay and festive on this groat holiday, they are full of fun and elastic spirits, for the oxygen of the air is inspiring, and they laugh and chat and joke and romp, and have a good time generally* But ail the racing, tearing, shouting halloaing, swinging and walking is not confined to young couples, sweeter as be

tween themsolves than ™o'asses en biread buiffireit otTboth sides, but Is being joined In by all the pleasure-seeking men, women, boys and girls that long lor the excitement ol music and dance, and roundabouts and swings and "mineral waters” so profusely provided at picnics and parks, especially on such Seated and extraordinary days as the great national holiday which sets tree all the working people and their cousins, 01 course the day has its great distractions, *but alter breakfast and the discussion *>l coffee, and while the children, and the neighbdriifc children, and the neighboring neighboring children, are firing oil torpedoes or fire-crackers or toy-pistols, and making all the noise and distraction possible, the "old man” lights his cigar, goes to hia office or store, reads hie mails and hands them over 1 o be attended to by human moles, while his wile dresses up in her bestsilka, and wears alovely imported bonnet upon which is mounted a beautiful bird that evidently was stuffed before It died, and after criticising the dress of the minister’s wife listens to her favorite preacher, who delivers a discourse upon the significance of the day. A separation of the tansily follows in the afternoon in the celebration of the Fourth of July, in a good many cases, for as usual there Is great excitement over a running race or that celebrated base-ball match, to take place on the village common or in a picketed field, between the Invlndblee and the Insurmountables, and it is always a toss-up how the struggle between the two teams can end except In a draw, although the record shows that on different occasion the Invisibles bad defeated the Insurmountables, ind vice versa- But no one but an expert ran understand a base

Generally, *»i row, the latter, lint the glorious Fourth at July ft ■chiefly enjoyed to it^tnllest extent among the rising generation, the bo;i* had girts. Unlucky and disgraced, indeed, is the boy who, at the end ot the bombardment of the day, has got oft without a powder burn, or a shot finger, or even his toggery unsinged. Probably the greatest hero is the boy who not only hae, with his toy pistol, carelessly and adroitly winged another boy, but who, he tike Melee, has

also been able to do—'what 1* by no msaaa ft rare'feat—wound himself with his own weapon, lor many a grown-up man has foolishly looked down the muule ol a gun, and the generous spirit of the boys is shown by the greater number of times in which they shoot themselves instead of pthersi The boys and girls who get up with tho lark, and are on a lark all the day, and keep up the lark until the night shades are falling, what a glorious time they will have! It is the capping climax, the kernel ol the nut of delight--the greatest of the great joys of the Fourth of July.' The squares and streets become alive with burning'fire of all the colors of the rain* bow, lighted by the smoldering fuse held by every boy and girl, while, rising- higher and higher the sky-rocket cleaves the dark heavens and fills the sky with more radiant and varied colored stars and comets than can ever be seen even oh a clear starlight night. The incessant rattle of musketry coming from tho burning, crackling bunches of exploding fire-crackers, with the heavy flash of light sparks as tho skyrocket flies from its prison, the exquisite pleasures of the wildly revolving spinningwheels, and the noise ns ol a clap of thunder, which makes the boys and girls tremble, clinging to each other or their mothers, and hiding their iacos m their dresses, as an Immense pot of powder Bhoots op into the dark night air, displaying its lovely bouquet of flowers, whilo every face radiates With joy In the suddenly and beautifully illuminated night darkness, add to the fascinations of the glorious night. And then, how, down in tho great public halls, the roofs are raised with the shouts of applause led and Bustainod by the thunder of a brass band, as some silver-tongued orator discourses ol tne glorious deeds of tho heroeu that fought for the creation of a freeman’s government, and of those that shod their blood for its preservation. Then an the proceedings close the flags of the various delegations, who have marched in their regalia

through the thronged streetii, are waved aloft amid the vast waves of song-har-mony that sweep up the vast audience in its power with the soul-stirring national hymn "America.” Glory and honor, then, to the boy George Washington and his little hatchet. In how many thousands of thousands of parlors in this country from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the forty-ninth parallel to the Gulf, have the pictures come to mind of the hero of the cherry tree, the creator of tho glorious "Fourth of July,” and of the sweet, admirable woman who was then a little girl and became the first of the first ladies Of the land in the now-born empire of the West! And not only in parlors, but in the cabins, huts and little rooms where old couples and the poor veterans are passing thoir lives away, aro found those portraits, and twigs of evergreen trees are trimmed every Fourth of July about the facsimiles of the man and woman, testifying the general, never-dying gratitudj) of a patriotic people for the patriotism and will-power celebrated on this Nation's natal day, and which, but lor them and their co-patriots, might never have been known; and the noisy musketry of the fire-cracker, the gluw of the patriotic orator, tho loves and laughter of the picnic, and the genial haihfellow and hullabaloo might no't have moved a nation to such Universal enthusiasm on every recurring glorious Fourth of July. /?H, ts

TWO JUST TRIBUTES Words from the bps sad Hearts if Jodto A. B. Tappan and Charles A. liana, of How York, oq the Goodness as<i GreatBees or the Late John Kelljr, To folly do justice to his memory would be to pronounce a panegyric upon American institutions Mr. Kelly was a grand type of that selforeatlon which is the result of th e social and political system that is at once our pride and nope. Whatever conflicting judgments may have been pron ounced upon his political action, there is but one opinion of his honor, his virtue and worth. There may be some who will deny that he was a great maiv.but none will deny that he was a wood man. From his sides the shafts of rualice fall harmless to the ground. His bitterest foes hate confessed his ability. He idet the severest criticism as the leader of Tammany Hall, and it is as suoh that he is most thought of in Tammany Hall. . . The thought of out loss recalls the fact that there is none left who can take his plaoo. He held his place by a combination of rare qualities. His courage and his honesty were al ike elements of his success. He was not a "boss,” but rather a counsellor, a guide, and a friend. His friends were steadfast to him when State conventions closed their doors to him, because his following was one of love, of alt'ection, of oonfidenoe. He reigned not; by the hope of reward nor by the fear of punishment, but he reigned in the hearts of his friends. His word was never doubted and never broken. Although ho opposed the nomination of Mr. Tilden for the Presidency, he worked faithfully and loyally for the election of Mr. Tilden, and did his utmostto secure for him the electoral vote of this State, So too he laborod, fought and worked for the candidate, not of his choice, Who Was last elected to the Pfesiderioy. HtJ died in a faith that robbed death of its sting and the grave of its victory j in # faith that his Redeemer lived. Hesuffered the tortures of his painful siokness with fortitude, for the portals of death were to him the gateway of immortality. The concurrent judgment of humanity will be that his goodness made him great. His most endearing monument will bo in the memory of his follow citizens.—Judge Tappan, at Tammany Hall Memorial Services. While he lived the public always regarded him with interest, and now that ue is dead they all Speak of him not only With respect, but with affection. It is surprising what unanimity there is among men of every party in the opinion they now hold—that Mr. Kelly was both a good and great man. for myself, I do not dwell so very emphatically on that quality of honesty which is commonly put foremost among his gifts. Honesty, thank God, is not such a rare thing among the conspicuous public men of this town. The exception is

rather or those who are not honost. But, while Mr. Kelly possessed this elementary and ample virtue, and never departed from it, he possessed also the grander and higher characteristics of disinterestedness, of intelligence, of wisdom and of Democracy. With him the last of theso was the great thing. He was a Democrat not only in his thoughts, but in his blood ana bones. He was a Democrat, noon, and night, and all the time. Ho believed in the rule of the people, for the pie, and by the people, ana he had no sympathy with any devloe of theorists to check and stifle the popular power. He approved of one road to office, and one only, and that was the road of popular elections. It is said that Mr. Kelly never received that evidence of the people’s approval which consists in being elected Governor or President, or in getting a place in the Cabinet. This is true; but he needed no suoh stamp of popular approbation. He was content to do his duty in that place to which circumstances and the mandate of patriotism assigned him. He was long the chief pf this ancient organization, and here Be wielded an authority and oxeroised a control over public affairs which Cabinet Ministers or diplomatists might well regard with envy. He neve r sought to elevate himself. Enough for him that he was beloved and understood by the people of this city and by the members of the Tammany Society. No man was ever esteemed more justly or trusted more entirely than John Kelly by -the men of Tammany Hall. Thus his publio oaroor was a career of constant success, and our grief at his premature departure from among us is well consoled by our admiration of his character and our envy of the hoarttelt love with whioh in life he was surroundod by so many thousands of his fellowcitizens, as in death he is now honored.—Mr. Dana, ttf the same meetiltg. BOBBING UP SERENELY. The One Vessel, the Corner-Stone of the Republican Navy, Described as a •‘Marine Crazy-Quilt.”

wuu wouia nave inougnt tnai enougU ft ad been said about John Roaoh’s notorious oontraot vessel, the Dolphin. But that frisky craft turns up again as lively and sauoy as ever. The Senate, in a spare moment from its pen«ion hobby, thought it would be a good thing to waste more time over this wearisome subjeot of the Dolphin. Secretary Whitney, in ooppUance with a Senate resolution, has lara beforethat body a mass of information crkieerning tljo vessel, which the Republioiina, lagt fjil vainly endeavored to utilize r for Solitloal capital. *Tho boasts Of the lew York 'driiftne that the vessel succeeded in weathering a storm on her last trial orulse are oonsidorabily qualified by the report of Captain Meade on that trip, who designates her as a marine crasy-qu'ilt, the general plan of the ship ana machinery being unsatisfactory and wholly unsuited to the needs of a navy. The report of the civilian experts was' still more damaging,, declaring that the Dolphin is not fit to oontena with bad weather such as is usually encountered by our ooasting Steamers. She was strained by the seas she enoountered on her trip to Fortress Monroe, and her orew were not inclined to risk their lives on board of her again. It will be seen, therefore, that the Republican Senators have very poor material for political capital in the Dolphin. Their brethren in New York made notable efforts, last fall, to fiersuade the people that the only obaction to this notorious craft was on the part of the Secretary of the Navy, who was resolved to saoriiice that liberal Republican contractor, and contributor to campaign funds, John Roaoh. But the contractor made a very sorry martyr, and not even a fhost of an issue oould be made out of im or his marine orazy-qullt. The wonderful change which has taken Sace in a year in the management of e Navy Department has removed every trace of Chandlerism and jobbery, and when Congress secs fit to Strengthen the hands of Secretary Whitney by a thorough reorganization of the system under which the department is conduoted, there will be no delay in carrying out, in the fullest and most satisfactory manner, tire great work of creating a navy worthy of the Nation. The era of knavery end peculation in the department has been suooeeded by wise, business-like 'id the taxpayers may >per return for thel .* out of the 1 Roach and it—.

BLAINE'S CANDIDATE. l Fortune Unde by Him During the War by Selling • HemarkmMe lUst of Hsmei to Town* Which WUhed l« £icftpe the machine to crush out a soldier candidate in favor of a wealthy contractor whose money may be useful in a Presidential canvass has revived the story of Maine’s paper credit frauds, in which Blaine’s henchmen were conspicuous actors. The story dates back to 1864, when the cry had gone up for more men to come to the front and recruit the deei* mated armies cf the Unioil; At that time, according to a report made five years later bjr the Maine Equalisation Commission, “in that crisis Of the war and of the national life; when ihe replenishing of the army was a simple question Of, life add death with the Government, dri individual made his appearance at the State capital, claiming to have come from Washington, and bringing in his pocket a long list of names, many of them quaint and unpronounceable by an American tongue, and others so very common as to be remarkable, all of which he asserted to be the names of men who had enlisted in the service of the United States at some time since the commencement of the war, and who had not been credited with the quota of any State or municipality. Those names were offered to the oflloers and recruiting agoncies of municipalities who were looking for men to fill theit quotas and reinforce the depleted army, and offering largo bounties for such men. Before quotas could be cancelled by the use of, these names the approval of the proper Unit.ed States officials must be secured. The office of A. A. Provost Marshal-Gen-eral for Maine was then filled by an honorable gentleman of Maine and an officer of the regular army. Td him this remarkable roll Was showfi and his approval of it solicited. That approval was denied, and probably with some expressions of honest indignation. „ Not very long afterwards this officer was ordered to another field of duty and his place supplied by an officer froia a Western State. Then again at the State capital appeared the man with the once rejected list of names. And henceforth it soems there was ho official veto upon the filling of quotas of cities and towns with these names.'’ The same commissioners in their report point out that the man who procured the list of names was Blaine's present manager in Maine, the same who manipulated the Republican convention in his interest. They intimated very plainly that this man and his associates got names of soldiers and sailors already in the service and sold them to towns who were willing to pay for being cleared of the draft They also declare that Blaine’s henchman sold 121 of these men for $47,000, and that if he sold the others at the same rate he must have received more than $100,The use by Blame of the Republican 000.

it is not at all surprising that the Maine Republican soldiers resent the appearanoo of a man with this kind of a record as the dictator of party nominations in the interest of Blaine. Nor will it be at all surprising if they show their resentment by defeating Blaine’s candidate and depriving Blaine of the Srestige he hopes to win for the Presiential fight.—Detroit Free Press. A Distressing Outlook. The Albany correspondent of the New York Times is frank enough to admit that tho Republicans will have a stormy time getting a majority in the next Assembly. If the careful and prudent tax-payers of the Empire State who are not chained to party wheels will but think of the shortcomings of tho majority of the Legislature which adjourned a short time ago, there will be no question about the result The Republican majority was false to every promise It made, and it ought to be relegated to obscurity until it can learn to be honost with the people who intrusted it with power. But it is not alone diggust with the work of last winter which will make it impossible for the Republicans to win a majority of the Assembly. Up to the present time there are no fewer than five men looking for the toga now resting on the shoulders of Miller. Jimmy Husted is keeping his weather eye lifted to see what may turn qp. Frank Hiscook is confident the Wind will be in his favor; Morton, who paid so roundly for the mission to France, is playing Opossum; Td&i Platt does not imagine himsolf dead, and he was not In the last convention, while Miller trust# to his luck, and he h.as more than any other man New York has ever had any thing to do with. Jhis will make an interesting little fight, but it bodes ill for the Republican party. Tho State was gerrymandered Dy the Republicans so as to have a majority in the Legislature no matter what the vote might be, but the indications now are that they will be deceived when the nipping days of November come.—Buffalo Times.

A Democratic Victory. A State whioh elected a Republican Governor by 1,400 majority four years ago, and wipoh gave Mr. Blaine a plurality of 2,256 t^ro years ago, now elects a Democratic Governor by 2,000 majority, and enough other officials oi the same party to place the full control of the Slate institutions In Democratic hands for the next four years. The reasoh for thiachange fe plainly seen, aud, for a wonder, frankly stated, by so thoroughly dyed a patty Organ as the Philadelphia Press. “The Oregon Republicans lost," it says, “because tho people oould not approve of their oourse. Their candidates aroused no enthusiasm, and a fair platform could not compensate for the profound dissatisfaction caused by the party's record. The people were more willing to trust the government of the State temporarily to inoompetent hands than to Indorse by their votes the control into wbioh the Republican organization bad fallen then." The cool assumption that only Republicans are really fit to govern, and that Democrats must necessarily be inoompetent, is in the true organ tone; but the faot is recognized that Oregon was lost because a portion of the voipra. who are usually Republican, would not sustain ring yule or support unfit candidates — in other wows, constituted themselves Mugwumps for this oocasion. Tho fact is attested by the election of a Republican Congressman, and of those State candidate^ against whom these objections did notlie.—Boston Herald.

WHITE ANTS. A hmw'i Building* Attacked and D» ittcjM 8j Theee inserts. (Bloomington (111.) Dlspatoh.] Prof. 8. A. Forbes, State Entomologist was in this oity to-day, returning (rota Mount Palatine, Putnam Codnty, where he was summoned to -view the wort of damaging insects. Re visited the farm ot John Wilson, near Mount Palatine, and found that his premises had been almost completely destroyed by whita ants, • species very uncommon in America, but very similar to the white ants of India and Africa. The insects first attacked an outdoor cellar, working on the underside of the root and the inside of the walls. Their working is confined to the Wood-work, and they so hollowed out the roof and sides of the cellar that it fiotihsped; From the cellar they Spread to the residence, find have completely ruined a great part Of the building; Here they worked through the sills, in the studding, id the weatherboarding, window and door casings and the rafters and shingles. They also laid hold of the granary, which was built ol hard wood, and so worked on the sills and oak plank floor that the floor of its own weight, fell in. The cellar is completely ruined; a part of the house will be liable to be torh down, as will also the granary. Theloss entailed is several hundred dollars. The professor advised that all the wood affected be destroyed, and the remainder saturated with gasoline. He says that he has known ants to work in rotten logs and in culverts and bridges, but he never knew them to attack buildings. He says that the light is offensive to them, and that their work is not easily detected. He suggests that railroad men should exercise great care that these ants do not get in their bridges. Wilson’s premises are in the midst of a large prairie. Prof. Forbes says the ants have been there four or five years, but their presence there he can not account for, unless they were conveyed from the woods In a log that they were Working. He says they are Very prolific and difficult to destroy. A Monster Eagle Tries to Capture a Calf, But la Made a Prisoner Instead. (Olean (N. Y.)£peclal.l H. C. Blakeslee’s farm is near this city, A number of calves have been running about in a piece of woods on the farm for a week or so past. One day last week E. M. Johnson, a hired man on the farm, heard a great bleating by one of the calves. Hurrying to the woods from which the noise came, he discovered that an enormous eagle had Swooped down on the calf add was trying to carry it away. The size of the calf made this an impossible task. But the eagle persisted gamely in its efforts, In spite of the presence ot the hired man. The latter ran back to the house and gat a shotgun, and, returning, fired a charge into the eagle, which was still tearing at the calf with its talons and beak. The shot broke one of the eagle’s wings, and the bird relinquished its bold on the calf, and turned on Johnson. The cries of the calf, the report of the gun, and the shouts of the !hired man brought others to the spot, and the groat bird was captured alive after a desperate struggle. It was imprisoned in an outbuilding. This eaglp is one of the largest'specimens ever captured, as it measures over nine and a half feet from tip to tip of its wings.

Knew Him Entirely Too IJell. [Northwestern Lumberman.] , A man who is attempting to start a re* tail lumber yard down In a small town In Ohio gave a jobber the name of his former employer for reference and left his order. Ihe report received by the jobber, although slightly -ambiguous, was not of a nature to induce him to hustle very much in the execution of the shipment. It Is so subtle, and withal so honest, that I am tempted to subjoin it: “Mr. — has worked for me for twelve or thirteen ypars, and has always been a faithful man, and I respect him as a true friend; but if I was a stranger to him and knew his failings 1 would not want to trust him.” A Princess Marries Her Equerry. [London World.] A great sensat ion has been created In court circles at Berlin by a rumor which has arrived from Naples, via Vienna, that the widowod Princess Frederick Charles of Prussia has contracted a morganatic marriage with ‘Captain von Wagenheim, one of her equerries. The Princess, who is now in her forty-ninth year, is the youngest sister of the Duke of Anhalt and the Duchess of Saxe-Altenberg. She was married at the age of seventeen to the late Prince Frederick Charles, and has four ohildreri, one of them the Duchess of Connaught. The Princess is a very clever and chggjning woman, highly accomplished. Blinded By Tobacco. [London Lancet.] Tobacco-blindness is becoming a common affliction. At present there are several persons under treatment for it at one London hospital. It first takes the form of color blindness, the sufferers who have smoked themselves into this condition being quite unable to distinguish the color of a piece of red cloth he]d up before them. Sometimes the victim losses his eye-sight altogether. Although smoking is to a large extent the cause of this>malady, and so gives it its name, heavy drinking is ala' partly responsible.

Unlike the big pills, however, they are mild and pleasant in their operation—do not produce griping pains, nor lender the bowela costive after using.
