The Adventures of sv Lad Who Desiredto Enjoy the Day.

' He la the Hon. Jacob now, a dignifiednd able senator, bat back in the fifties

he was simply Jake to all except hisgrandmother, the pastor who christenedaim, and the teacher when school wasto. His first Fourth of July, accordingto the recollection of co temporaries, wascelebrated in a little New England settle-ment composed of farmers and minersThe old folka were alow, but not so theyoung ones, and in 1856, there being nogeneral celebration on the docket, theboys of Oreville voted to have one oftheir own. Jake was in his eighthyear, sad though 'not formally on thecommittee, he was around daring the

' councils, and by a timely word namedthe location for the "doings."

It was a rocky hilltop on his father'sland, abovt 800 feet above level, the

Stores of fireworks, of powder, of sugarandJeuouB, and cakf j and candies wereon band, hi'! den in walled op caves, andthe boys of Oreville sat np all night towelcome the inhabitants that would beeommoned by a sunrise salute. The--salut- e

was on time, if not a little previous,bat the morning hoars dragged. Break-fne- ie

came and went, and not a soulaide from the faithful few who were

doing it.all, and the inevitable small boyhangers on rallied to the hilltop to cel-

ebrate. The committee boys felt thinat the waist, and one by one went hometo breakfast, promising to return onwings in order to do their assigned parts.

An hoar passed, then another, anatm another, and only now and then a

spectator was half carried, half coaxed,to the hilltop. Jak madatb trip from

'i 4

the store, the mines and the cottages tothe hill dozens and scores of times, andfinally from sheer exhaustion and disappointment gave it np. The cannonboomed . at intervals np, down andacross the valley: the flag flapped lazilyon the pole; the lemonade grew staleand the candy almost melted in theburning sun The ardor of the boys began to wane, and finally there was noone to serve the guns but Jake, whoseenthusiasm was reduced to a simple regard for the reputation of bis hill In afit of desperation and etnger he scoopeda handful of small stones from theground und rammed them in on acharge of powder. The discharge wasso much louder that he repeated thedose in other guns, until the whole valley got a bombardment of stones thatshattered window panes and rattled onthe roofs of the houses.

The boys laughed and cheered whenthey saw the people rush out of doorsand stare at .the display on the hilltop.A dozen pairs of hands fell to gatheringstones, and after a few more velleys theinhabitants turned out en masse andclimbed np the hill for safety. Then theboy renamed blank charges and the dayclosed with every soal in Oreville onJake's bill

Years passed before Jake got another chance to play a leading part inFourth of July doings. The year fol-

lowing he had emigrated to another state,and spent the day wandering from cross-roads to crossroads, and from postofflceto postofflce looking for the Fourth. Thenext year he put in hoeing corn. Theyear after that he held a flag for a Sun-day school picnic, riding twenty milesstanding np in a hay wagon' loaded withfidgeting, perspiring humanity, and wenthome to reflect that he had endured thetortures of a twenty mile ride on lum-

ber tracks, working like a yeoman mean-while to keep old glory afloat, just toeat some of his mother's cake and hisaunt's bread and his cousin's biscuit.The next year, however, made np for astring of eventless Fourths.

It was the occasion of" the Prince ofWales' visit to America, and Jake hadbecome a town boy in a wide awakeplace that got np a mock reception to aspurious highness, who made his en-

trance in state on a canal barge. Thefantastic turnout was something gor-geous in its hideousness and in its uni-versality All America, including evenAh Sin and a group of his cousins, wasrepresented in a procession that movedwith floats and carriages, on foot and onhorseback. Up to the last moment theaborigines were forgotten in the ragefor showing foreign' acquisitions. Jakewas a patron of the literature of theborder and an admirer of the red man,and his services were accepted withoutquestion to fill the gap in the procession.All went well, and the umber coloredchild of the forest received his share ofhomage from the crowds that reviewedthe pageant -

Finally the canal bridge came in sight,with the prince standing on the edge ofthe barge receiving the welcome of thenations at the hands of a spokesman aseach division came np Jake saw justin time that he wad a nation ail in himself, and must be hi own spokesman, j

although no speech had been given him j

THE CELEBRATION.

How The Dalless People Showed their

Patriotism on the Fourth The

Sham Battle Did Not Occur.

The celebration of the Fourth at thisplace was, in some respects a completesuccess, and in others a complete failure.The largest crowd perhaps, ever seen inThe Dalles was gathered from all pointsof the compass far and near. The entire

i urogram, with the single exception ofi the sham battle, was carried out accord! to arrangement, but the day was miser-- ;able, almost beyond endurance, as thewind blew almost a continual hurricane,

i and filled eyes and ears with blinding' dust, which the good natured crowd.however, bore with remarkable equa- -

i nimity and patience. The nrmciiuwtmiuu' was formed in time and place, as near as; could be to programme. About 500momluN if. thtk Hrnrrnn Anfl Wftahlnfvtnriu.UUUw. - e-- -

post G. A. R. ; then the LibertyCar, drawn by four jet black horsesand filled with forty-fo- ur littlegirls of about the ages of eightto ten and Miss Annie Sylvester as goddeas of liberty. This was followed by

i wagons filled with army baggage of tneO. N. G. followed by citizens in wagonsand carriages. Then came the band,then the fire engines followed by themembers of the fire companies, then thehose carts and ladder truck, then themembers of The Dalles bicvele club ontheir vehicles, then came a baud of Indians dressed in war costume andgorgeous . in paint and leathersthen came Indians in wagons and hacksfollowed by a genuine prairie schoonerpropelled by a yoke of patient oxen, the

i schooner filled with men, women, children, and the usual assortment of brokenchairs and cracked pots and indentedtinware. Back of the wagon and hitchedto it was a delapidate'd cayuse coveredwith a cloth on which was printed"Billy's' Horse." Then catne a genuine

Governor Pennoyer, who came up forthat purpose, viewed the procession ofthe National Guards from an open carriage.

THE ORATION.

The vast procession formed in frontof the speaker's stand and after musicby the band Judge Bennet called onRev. C. W. Curtis to lead in prayer, af-

ter which the declaration of independ- -

ance was read, with very clear and dis-

tinct enunciation by Mr. John Michell,editor of the Aftermore music by the band Judge Bennetintroduced the orator of the day Hon.C. W. Fulton of Astoria. Mr. Fultoncommenced by saying that he was infavor of the celebration of Indenend- -

ance day, and of every thing connectedwith it from the fat man and plug ug- -

lies up. American boy should betold the history of his country and ofher struggles for freedom. They shouldbe made familiar wJth the history ofrevolutionary times and of the heroeswho too part in it. 1 would teach themthe history ot Washington not particularly the hatchet story that I wouldreserve till they should become membersof the common council or. of the legis-lature, but I would have told them ofthe dark clouds that gathered over ournation when internal foes sought its destruction and by what- - means theseclouds were finally dispelled until nowwe possess the blessings of " Union andliberty, now and forever, one and inseparable." The day we celebrate is of pro-found interest to every lover of thecountry, 115 years ago, first called theUnited States of America. We, of thepresent generation are specially privil-eged to celebrate all the leadinganniversanes connected witu the birth of a nation that excel Is every other nation onearth in everything from a sweet potatoeto a cyclone. I believe it is right tohave a day specially devoted to the giv-ing vent to our patriotism ; and aB goodchampagne is known by its etfervessingqualities so our patriotism may be meas-ured by the exuberance with which wecelebrate. I believe in the Americaneagle, and I love to hear it scream; anda ueiieve in me scat spangiea oannermat has noatea over our nation ior thepast 115 years, the emblem of our lib--erty which is growing grander and grand- -er as the years roll by. I believe thatAmerican manhood is the aggregation ofall that is best of the earth's populationand that American ladies are only equalto themselves, they only need wings tobe angels, and these we "don't wantthem to get yet awhile. I ani no pessimist, x don't oeueve tnat all honestyis gone from the earth and that the people of former generations were betterthan those ot today. I have no doubtthat manv of those whose names ire areproud to honor would have been as hardto tackle in a horse trade as some oftheir descendants. I believe that a generation that set free four hundred mil-lions of human slaves is better than thegenerations that kept them in bondageand when after four years of fratricidalstrife we can thus meet to celebrate aUnion still maintained or when a peoplecan be roused to the cry of suffering anddistress as in the Johnston's disaster- - oryellow fever in the south or the Seattleand Sokane fire, I believe we have aproof that the world is getting better.

But looking back noon the past we bymust admit that there have been defectsin our fortifications. ' We have beenprodigal with our liberty. All nationshave . been invited and the poor anddistressed, of all lands have flocked hereahd we have made them welcome.While the majority came to support theflag, others came to take adyanti.ee ofour liberty. This nation is good enoughfor me, but I insist that we frame our ofown laws and that no flag shall float overus but our own stars and stripes. Ifthis does not suit the asthetic taste of tothe European anarchist or .the Muffianbrigand it will not cost him a dollar tomove out from under the stars andstripes and I am in favor of helping him

to do so aa quickly as possible. Foreign-ers are welcome'hut we have no use fora class that comes hereto decry or tram-ple upon our institutions. It is fit to-day that we should remember, not onlvthe names of Grant and Logan and Sherman ana Sheridan, bat of the rank andfile of the grand army rf the republic, ofthe men whose patriotism inspired themnot to seek glory but to acchieve it inthe path of duty. Where the grass growsover their sacred dast it grows on thegraves of patriots. All honor to theGrand Army of the Republic, the livingand the dead I We would remember tod,the great statesmen of the past; menwho, like Daniel Webster, wiser thantheir generation, pointed out the dangerthe lalior of their lives sought to avert.and him who stood foremost in thebreach when the danger came, FatherAbraham, nrin in bis convictions as arock of adamant, but with a heart asgentle as that of a woman. At the headof my list of patriots of all time I place,

Itne name 01 ADranam... .Lincoln. . Like. . aninncenl comet that grows ongnter

SorUu TV ! Ti x i VuDrignter as tune rous on, wnue on tnepages of human history no grander namewas ever written.

At the close of Senator Fulton's address, of which the foregoing is but avery imperfect synopsis, loud calls weremade for Governor Pennoyer who responded in a short, good-humor- andcharacteristic speech which was well andcordially received and after the bandhad played another selection the audience was dismissed by Judge Bennetand the vast crowd scattered, some totheir homes and others to the restaurants and hotels or other places of refreshment.

.THE ACCIDENTS.

At least four accidents, three of themof a severe nature, occured Saturday inconnection with the celebration at thisplace. Otea Bur ford, son of J. T. Bur--

ford of Centerville, was thrown violentlyfrom a cart, on the other side the river.His arm was broken and the cart smash'ed into splinters,

As the procession was marching weston Fourth street the borse of adjutantHaworth became ungovernable, and asthe saddle was loose Mr Haworth wasthrown violently to the ground. Nogreater injurv resulted than a bruisedhip andademoralized pair of regulationpants.

As the procession ot plug uglies wasmarching west on Second street near thecorner of Laughim, a man namedThomas, who was mounted on a pair ofstilts fully twelve to fifteen feet in theair, tripped and fell violently to theground, lighting on . his face. Hepicked up bleeding and bruibed andcarried out of the sun where he soon re- -

vived sufficiently to be able to walk tobis home.

The fourth accident was the worst ofal aiul tho9ft vhn ,t AarK ,t -miracle that a lite was not lost, in oneone of the bicycle contests, at the fairground as Mr. J. P. FitzGerald, drummajor of the third regiment band, wasnearing the wire, his machine ran intoa dog that was lying on the track. Mr.FitzGerald was thrown violently to theground and for a time it was feared thathe was killed but, in a short time herevived sufficiently to allow himself to beconveyed home where it was found thatbeyond some severe bruises and cuts inthe face and arm he was not seriouslyinjured. He is resting easily today andin a short time, we have no doubt, willbe around again. A fifth accident, inno way connected with the celebrationhappened to H.
