Washington gave the warning aud coiled for aotton. ft was a voice accustomed to command, but now entreating. The veterans of the war and the statesman of ihe IteroluUon stopped to the front The patriotism which had been misled, but had never faltered, rose above the interest* of States and the jealousies of j ining Confederates to hud the basis for union. “It la dear to me as A. B, 0," said Washington, “that an extension of Federal powers would make us one of the most happy, wealthy, respectable and powerful uataona that ever Inhabited the terrestrial globe. Without them we shall soon be every thing which la 'Ihe direct reveree. I predict the worst oounequenoea from a halfstarved, limping Government, always moving upon crutches, and tottering at every step'’ The response of the country was 'the convention of (iSJ, nt Vhlladelphla. The Declaration of Independence was but line vestibule of the temple which this illustrious assembly erected. With no successful precedents to guide, it auspiciously worlced out the problom of Constitutional Government, ami of imperial power, and home rule, supplementing each other in promoting the grandeur of the Nation, and preserving the liberty of the individual. The deliberations of great councils have vltallr affected, at different period*, tbs history of the world and the fate of Umpires;'but this Congress Imt Mod. niton popular sovereignty, institutions broad enough to embrace the continent, and elastic enough to fit all conditions of race and traditions Tho experience of a hundred years has demonstrated for us tho perfection of the work, for defense against foreign foes, sml for eolfpreservation against domestic insurrection, for limitless expansion in )iopul<ition and material development, and for steady growth in intellectual freedom and force. Its continuing Influence upon the welfare and destiny of the human race can onflr be measured by the capacity of man to cultivate. and enjoy the boundless opportuul ties of liberty and law. The eloquent characterisation of Mr. Gladstone condenses its merits; “The American Constitution is the most wonderful work ever struck off ikt a given time by tho brain and purpose of man.” The statesmen who composed this greet Senate were equal to their trust Their e ncluslons were the results of calm debate and wise concession. Their character and abilities were so pure and great as to command the confidence of the country for the reversal of the policy of the indep iidonce of the State of the power of the general Government, which bad hitherto licet the invariable practice and almost universal opinion, ami for the adoption of the idea of the Nation and U* supremacy. Towering in majesty and influence alwve them all stood Washington, their 1‘resident lb-side him was Ihe venerable Franklin, who, though eighty-one years of age, brought to the delll>eration* of tbe convention the unimpaired vigor and resouress of the wisest twain, the. most ho]>eful philosophy, and the largest experience of the times, t direr Ellsworth, afterwards Chief Justice of the Vnlted States, and the profoundest jurist in the country; Hubert Morrla, the ivou- ” ilerful financier of the . l'levo- 1 luthm. and Gouverr enr Morris, tha moat versatile genius «ff hi* period; Huger (Sherman. one of tho must eminent of the signers of the Declaration of independence, and John fhiliedffa, Ilnfus King. Ethridge Gerry, Kdimind Hamlulph and the Pinckneys, were leaders of uuoqualsd patriotism, courage, ability and leanilug; while Alexander IBain11 ton and James Madison, as original ttitukers and constructive statesmen, rank among the immortal fewrwhose opinions have for ages guided Minister* -of ntate and deteriniued the destinies of nations. , There wore no examples to follow, and tha experience ef its nieinlMtrs led pari of them to lean toward absolute centralization as the only refuge from the anarchy Of the confederation, while the rest ciuiig U> the sovereignty of the Slates, for fear that the concentration of pioirer would end ,u the absorption of libvrlY The larg-- States did not want to anrremlcr the advantage of , their position,and the smaller Ktatei saw j thg danger to their e xrstcuce. ! At this crisis the enurago and confidence ' needed to originate a system weakened. ! The tcmiHirtxing spirit of compromise seized tbe convention with the alluring pro|s>Kllioii of not proceeding faster than the people could l>e educated to follow. The cry; “Lot us not waste our labor uW>n ooucliolin* which will not t he oaojited, hnt amend and niltuurn." was assuming startling uuan imily Hut ttie supreme for<-e and majestio sense of Washington brought the itiuemblage to Ur- lofty plane of i.s duty and opportunity. He *alrl“ “It is too probable that no plan wr propose will l>e adopted. Perhaps another dreadful conflict is to bo sustained If to please the people we offer wjtat we ourselves disapprove, how can we afterward* defend our work? let us raise a standard to which the wise uni honest can rejuiir. the cvcni: In In the handset God.’ Freed from the limitation* of itsenvlr nmeut, and the question of the adoption of its work, the convention erected its Government u|>nn the eiernal foundation* of the power of the people. It disc meed the delusive theory of a compact between ludepemtent Slab-*, and derived National lmwer fr >m the 'people of the Vailed Stale*. It broke up the machinery of the Confederation and put in practical operation the flittering generalities of the Declaration of udepoadenoe. From chaos cam* order, from insecurity came, safety, from disintegration ami civil war came law and liberty, with Ihe principle proclaimed in the pr*- , amble of tho great charter. “We, Hho people of the Vnlted States, in order to form a more js-rfeci union, establish jiufliue, tn- ; sure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general wel

In these halls in 17B\ in the trial of John Zenger, had been established for the first time U ita history the liberty of the press. Here the New York Assembly, in 1TO», made the proten against the (stamp act, and proposed the general aontereuoe. which waa the beginning of the United Colonial action. In this old State House in m» the Stamp aot oongreaa, the first aad the father of American Congresses. assembled and presented to the English Government that vigorous protest which caused the repeal of the act, and obeoked the Unit step towards the usurpation whioh loot the America* colonies to the British empire. Within these walls the CuMness of the Confederation had commissioned its Ambassador* abroad, and in ineffectual efforts at government had created the necessity for the concentration of Federal authority, now to be consummated. The ftrat Congress of the United States gathered in this aBciant temple of liberty, greeted Washington and accompanied him to the balcony. The famous men visible about him were CbanoeUor Livingston, Vice-President John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, (inventor Clinton, Roger Sherman, Richard Henry Lee, General Knox and Baron Steuben. But we believe that among the Invisible host above hint, at this sujtreine moment of the culmination in permanent triumph of the thousands of years of struggle for self-government, were the spirits of the soldiers of the revolution who had died that their countrymen might enjoy this blessed day, and with them were the Barons of Kunnymede and William the Silent, and Sidney and Russell, and Cromwell and Hampdeu, and the heroes sad martyrs of liberty of every race and age. Aa he came forward, the multitude in the streets, in the w indows, and on the roofs sent up such a rapturous shout tost Washington sat down overcame with emotion. As he slowly rose and his tall and majestic form again appeured. the people, deeply affected, in awed silence viewed the.scene. The Chancellor eoieiunlv read ft) him the oath of office, and Washington, repeating, said: “I do solemnly swear that l will faithfully execute the office cf President of the United State*, and will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." Then he reverently bent low and kissed the Bible, utterlng with profound emotion: "So help me. God.” The Chancellor waved his robe* and shouted: "It t« done; long live George Washington, 1’p'sldeut of the United Hutes!* "Long live Oeorge Washington, our first President!” was the answering cheer of the people, and from the belfries rang the iteila, aud irom forts and ships thundered the cannon, echoing and repeating the cry with responding acclaim all over the land: • Long live Oeorge Washington, President of the United States!” • * * No man ever stood for so much to his country anjl to mankind as Oeorge Washington.

Th* United States consumes 160.000,000 pairs of boots and shoos annually, 100,000.000 of which are furnished by the New England States. Withix ten years nearly half the rollinr mills in New England have gone out of use. The number has increased in the West and Southwest. Th* value of the dairy products last year was about (500,000,000. being (30,000.000 more than tho value of the whole wheat crop of the country.

The demaud for sycamore lumber, it is ssid, is increasing wherever tobacco is packed. This wood is employed for tobacco boxes, and large quantities are shipped to Richmond, St. Louis and other tobucoopacking centers. Cioak boxes are supposed to bo made of Spanish cedar, but tUcro is not enough Of the wood grown for the purpose, and nearly all the boxes used by American cigar* makers are made from West Virginia poplar. The wood is sawed up into thiu boards, and tho cigarmakers dye them brown with cedar extract, which gives tho pros>cr color and odor.

A pack of H,3iUvW7 cases, of two doxen cans each, is reported, against 8.817,W8 eases for 1887—an increase of 903,000 cases. The average consumption for the l>ast six years lias been about 3,900,000 cases. Assuming, therefore, that the demand for tho current year will bo only a normal ouc, there will be a surplus of from 500,000 to 800,000 eases to.be carried over. Low prices stimulate consumption, however, and as prices are certain to be low tho surplus may uot he so large as proseal figure»indicate. Peculiar Method*. The aphorism that “all Is fair to w," esera* to bs the guiding star of those whose elm it is to attract the reader's attention to the latter-day newspapers. In the strife which has followed, the art of advertising has been greatly changed from what it wae a few years ago. Formerly, the casual mention of the merits of an article was all that was necessary to attract attention; but when tho advertising columns of the papers became crowded, the reader of the newspaper soon realised that too much time would be consumed to reading all of them, and, as a result, those column* were oftentimes skipped altogether. It was then that advertising developed tnto a acienoe—for the preparation of advertising matter which will attract public attention is a task which, nowadays, requires a degree of tact and skill which not every one poaeeseea The modern advertiser, - aware of the public disposition to hurriedly pass over the ordinary advertisements, has called to hi* assistance all eonoetvable ingenious devices of the printer's art whieh will tend to render hts advertisement attractive to the reader. Peculiar methods are often employed-as Is usual in the case of the extensive advertising which 1* done in behalf of Warner's bate Cure, tho noted discovery for all diseases of the kidneys and disorders arising therefrom. What apilhaptu the ordinary reader as aa Inviting article of current news is discovered upon perusal to be an interesting article which impresses the fact upon tho reader’s mind that kidney disease is the original os use of most lung, brain, heart and nervous disorders and that those disorders are not disease Itself, but only symptoms of a disease which can be succesefully treated by the use of Warner's Safe Cure, which will remove the primary cause and thereby restore other affected organs to a vigorous and healthy state. In this instance the advertiser, by peculiar means,succeeds in attracting the reader's ati tention, and not only is the name of the advertised.srticle impressed, u]>ou themlnd.but also the' purposes for which Its use is adapt- ! ed. Besides achieving the advertiser's purpose. this method of advertising is a means of placing inuoh valuable information in | the hands ot many who otherwise would | very probably remain ignorant upon a sub- ! Ject of great Importance. Modern advertising has become a profilei ble field of employment and no large bust- | ness house is longer complete without a | competent advertising bureau attached, . to ■ Wife—“Why were you to iongBt the I front door last night, John!
