It celebr: our nativity an anation. We had the singular privilege of not only assisting in oar own birth, but of determining it. We decreed and accomplished our owa national being. On this day, which commemorates that thrilling event in the history of the world, we recall with pride that the char- acteristics of our national entity are the fame as those which our sturdy fore- fathers created for the infant nation, We are still young and not yet freo from growing pains, but more than a century has rolled over the United States, strengthening and enlarging those traits with which wo bi gin life and of which we ‘aro so proud, In that carly casting of the die, life and allAhat makes it dear or noble were put in peril gladly to secure the longed-for glory of independence, ‘The American of to-day, practical and keen-eyed as he is, would do the name to maintaw tho integ- rity of his inheritance. He may fly from town on the Fourth of July and may ‘wince and frown at the detonation of the cracker with which tho small. boy celo- brates, but he passionately loves the prin- ‘ciples which the day symbolizes and will love them to the end, Wo are the finest Republic that the ‘world knows to-day, But we are exposed toallthe dangers which develop in the heart of the soundest Republic. Luxury, love of social pre-eminence, disdain for the toiling massea aud corruption as a ‘means to woalth are hero already. But they, will not prevail. Republican strongth is too deeply rooted in us. eans who foel that it ill beseems the Pres- {dent of the United States to accept gifts from the people, esppcially those of any intrinsic worth. When the people declare him their Ruler bestow the highest gift in the power of Amoricaus, ‘They havo increased the salary of the Chief | 1 Executive to a degree which enables him to support the dignity of his office with. out need of assistance from patriotic pur- pores. It ina matter of regret to these bigh- minded Americans that Mr. Haunison betrays an undignified alacrity in grasp- ing cottages which are bestowed upon by interosted corporations or syndicates. When Mr. Fuancuryn tendered the use of his Elberon cottage to the stricken Ganyrexp it was an act of gentlemanly courtesy which all could approve. But when the Pennsylvania Railroad gives Bexsamry Hannison a Summer residence ata town situated on their main line the people may reasonably deprecate his lending himself as an advertising tag. The fact that Baby McKer is hereby snatched from the irreverent maw of the Jersey mosquito does not seem to fully offset the unworthiness of his grand- father’s lowliness. THE PITY OP IT, Bometimes a tale of harrowing sadness istold m the daily papers, That which isin the columns of the morning papers to-day is very pitiful. A young German of thirty years found it impossible to e\p- port himself, his wife and infant child, He was a poet, author and musician. But these arts availed him little to secure a maintenance, Worn to despair by the hard, uncles struggle,the husband and wife resolved to leave the world that would haye none of them. With her babe tightly clasped in her arms the wretched young mother cast herself into the cold embraces of the river, from which her body was taken a few hours later with the corpse of her baby so closaly pressed to her cold bosom that it was with difficulty torn from ber stiff arms, The corpse of the husband has not yet been recovered, though trom leticrs which he left there 1s little doubt that he, too, has sought death as a relief. Alas, that beings who are made actors ou the fretful stage of life should not be able, by the willing exercise of such talents as they possess, to feed the lamp of life! One of Now England's most picturesque figures passed away yesterday, Gen.
