Marion Crawforil, the America!
T;oveli, recently delivered at Sor
rento, Italy, hu a.ilress on Tanso at
the celeliration of the three LtuulreJth
anniversary of the preat poct' death.
This address, nhich was in Italian,
was noteworthy, observes the Han
Francisco Chronicle, because Craw
ford declared that the influence of
Tasso's works could be traced in the
writings of three famous English poets
Milton, Byron and Wordsworth. Per
haps Crawford's best point was his
claim that we should never have had
"Paradise Lost" had not Milton loved
and studied Tasso's "Jerusalem De
livered.'' Chicago is after the trade of the
South, notes the N'ew Orleans Pica
yuue.the importance of which it is just
beginning to realize, and means to
rab for it with both hands. A largely
attended meeting of railroad aud busi
ness men was held in that city a few
days ago to discuss wys and means of
securing the Southern tr.vle, aul one
of them said that if th? people inter
ested in the different sections of the
South and by the South is meant the
country lying south of the Ohio and
east of the Mis.-issippi could have an
uuder.-t'iinlinj; with the various trans
portation lines, and some efforts in
the direction of uuity and a eo.nmoii
interest could be reached, lar,je results
wonld necessarily follow. Mr. Stone
is enthusiastic on the subject, aul a
vigorous pusher. J. S. Buckley ex
pressed himself iu similar language.
In his opinion the tide of immigration
was toot, to move southward, and the
fcoutheru section of this country w ould,
iu a very near future, occupy rela
tively the same position as that held
by the great Northwest in the pa-t.
New Orleans is the proper aud natural
dUtribiiliuj; point for the larger part
ol this grand territory, but she will
have to bestir herself and improve her
methods if she wants to hold her own.
The system of kindergartens re
cently established on some of the
Indian reservations has proved so suo
cessl'nl that it is soon to be widely ex
tended, especially iu the Southwest.
The Indian children there are un
usually shy. Under the influence of
the kindergarten games they have
been fouud to rapidly lose this shy
ness and reticence, and to become
friendly with each other and with
their teachers. A number of new day
schools will also soon be opened in
that part of the country. It has been
found best to educate the children as
far as possible in kindergartens, rather
than in boarding schools. After a
time those whose cases seem advis
able can be transferred with little op
position from their parents, who prob
ably would hove objected strongly if
the children had been taken away to a
boarding school at the outset. The
principal work of the schools at pres
ent is in the line of industrial educa
tion. The girls are being taught cook
ing, sewing, washing clothes and the
like, and the boys plowing, tilling,
tending cattle and using tools, rather
than even reading and writing.- They
learn English with considerable ease,
but have no inherited aptitude for
mathematics. Indians have very little
appreciation of numbers, being fa
miliar only with addition and sub
traction. Some of the Indians have
reached a high degree of proficiency,
and the Indian Oiliee is daily receiving
applications from Indian girls, whe
Lave been graduated from high schools
for positions as teachers. Places are
found for some, but not many, and
the remainder usually return to their
tribes and relapse into their former
ways of life. Superintendent W. H.
Hailmnn, of the Indian schools, is very
anxious to find positions for more oi
these girls iu nearly auy class of work.
He says they make excellent servauts,
aud he would like to hear from auj
one willing to employ them.

WW
FAC SIMILES OF THE
archive has become hardly more than
a blank and wrinkled sheet of paper,
solicitude for its preservation has be
gun to bo felt, and at last it is cared
for as it should have been cared for
years ago.
It was my privilege some time eince
a privilege then accorded to few,
and now, under the strictest prohibi
tion, accorded to none to see and
touch this precious document, says a
writer in the Detroit Free Press. It
is kept locked up in a steel safe in the
library of the Department of State.
It is spread out flat in a mahogany
portfolio, made to slide in and out 6f
the safe, and over it is a sheet of
thiok paper and a plate of glass. It is
now never exposed to the light, and is
as little exposed to the air as is possi
ble without placing it in a vessel from
which the atmosphere has been ex
hausted. The document is a single sheet of
parchment, thirty-six inche3 long and
and thirty-two inches wide, and bears
no scrolls or decorations such as are
seen upon many of the copies that are
sc common. The body of the writing
having been evenly and clearly written
when the instrument was engrossed, is
still even, though badly faded, and
can hardly be made out, but the sig
natures, which were written perhaps
with a different ink and another pen,
are faded and beyond recognition,
many of them being wholly gone, and
others partly so. The heavy stroke of
the pen in the J of John Hancock's
bold autograph is still visible, but
that is the only line that is distinct.
The history of tho origin of this
great State paper is well known to
most Americans, but is always inter
esting. The story of the varied and
disastrous fortunes of the document
itself during tho past 118 years is less
known, and is here told.
On the 2Gth of June, 177G, a com
mittee, of which Thomas Jerfferson
was Chairman, was appointed by the
Continental Congress, then sitting at
Philadelphia, to draft a declaration
setting forth the reasons why the thir
teen colonies should become indepen
dent of England. Jefferson was re
quested by the other members of the
committee to prepare the draft, and
this draft when presented was at once
approved by a majority of the commit
tee, a few verbal alterations only be
ing suggested. On July 2d a copy of
this draft was laid before Congress,
and. after a hot debate of three days, a
few sentences were stricken out and
the Declaration was then a lopted. It
was at once entered upon the journal
of Congress; but the engrossed cpy,
on parchment, was not prepared and
signed until August 2.
During the tir-t twenly-fonr years
ol its existence the I eclaratiuu wa pre
served amoDu the archives of the (iov
eruiuent at l'htl id lphia, and duriug
all or p:irt f that time it was un
doubtedly rolled up, as it shows by the
cracks in the parchment tbkt it mu-t
have beeu rolled for a long period,
and it is known that suhsetpieut to
that time it was hung up exposed to
public gaze.
When, in the year ISO), the Na
tional Government was transferred to
Washington, the Declaration was car
ried th re and deposited in the De
partment of .State, where it remained
for forty-one years. In the year 1M1

brick building, and not fire-proof,
Daniel Webster, Secretary of State,
addressed a letter to Henry L. Ells
worth, the Coramisioner of Patents,
and requested him to receive the Dec
claration and other valuable: docu
ments into his custody for safe keep
ing. This request was complied with,
and for the next thirty-five years the
Patent Oflice retained charge of the
precious paper, but it was while there
it suffered its greatest injury. It was
hung up, exposed to public view, be
hind the glass in one end of a caso of
Tatent Office models. At certain hours
of the day the suu shone directly upon
it, and, of necessity, it gradually
faded. It is amazing almost beyond
the power of belief that of the dozen
Commissioners of Patents who had the
custody of this document during
those thirty-five years, not one of t hem
saw that it was being ruined, and not
one of them had the forethought to
tike it out of the sunlight and put it,
away in darkness. In England such
treatment of an important State paper
is unheard of. Magna Charta, the'
death warrant of Queen Mary and;
other archives in tne uritisn .uuseum1
four or five times as old us our Declara
tion of Independence, are still kept in
a condition of perfect preservation.
In 1875 Congress woke up to the
outrage that was being perpetrated
and appointed a commission consist-1
ing of the Secretary of the Interior,
the Secretary of the Smithsonian In
stitutionProfessor Joseph Henry
and Ainsworth R. Spofford, the
Librarian of Congress, "to have resort
to such means as will most effectually
restore the writing of the original
manuscript of the Declaration of In
dependence, with the signatures ap
pended thereto." Experts were con
sulted by this commission, and finally,
the matter was referred to tho
National Academy of Sciences. It
having become known that the great
Declaration was fading awav, the pub-
lie became interested in the effort
made for its restoration, and the pub
lie press urged the importance of
prompt action, but years went by
and nothing was done. The National
Academy of Sciences reported to the
commission that portions of tho
restoration was impossible. Mean
while, in 1876 George W. Childs, of
Philadelphia, and Frank M. Etting,
in charge of the historical department
of the Centennial Exposition, re
quested the Government to send the
document to the Exposition to bo
placed on exhibition. The Secretary '
oi the Interior, lion. Aacnariati i
Chandler, wrote a letter to President
(irant, setting forth the reasons why
this re.piest ought uot to be complied
with, but this request was granted,
an 1, on its hundredth birthday, the
great charter, faded and scarcely
Kgibie, returned to the place of its
birth, and tlure was exposed to the
.'.aze of the American people, its piti
ful eou litiou a standing rebuke to the
National ( iovcrnineiit.
In ls.77, at the close of the exposi
tion, the Com'iion Ce nneil of Phila
delphia petitioned Cougress for au
thority to retain the Declaration and
to place it in Independence Hall. This
request was refused, nud the docu
ment was brought back to W'asUiniHon,
but upon request of Hamilton Fish,
then Secretarv of State the Secretary
of the Iut Tior consenting it was J
again r turned to the State Depart
ment, where it has since remained. J
While the Declaration was in the I
Putent Oiliee an excellent photolitho-
(J a.
graphic copy, reduced to about half i
its size, was made by the Government
photolithographer. Later, a full sized
copperplate engraving was prepared, :
and the copies printed from this plate !
are perfect fac-similes of tho original, j
It is believed that in making this en- j
graving the original was seriously
damaged by a chemical application to
restore tho fainter lines ; but it may be
said that if this engraving had not
been made there would not bean exaot
copy of this most important document
in existence. A framed copy of this
engraving may be seen in the library
of the State Department, aud, what is
even more interesting in a frame be
neath it, is shown Thomas Jefferson's
original draft of tho declaration, in
his own handwrittiug and with all of
his erasures and interlineations jast as
it left his hand.
The singing of the Declaration of
Independence was n solemn act. The
singer j wero subjects of King George,
and their act was treason. If the King
could have caught them he would have
hung them every one, and this they
knew ; but according to the traditions
that have come down to us, this knowl
edge did not deter certain of them
from relieving the solemnity of the oc
casion with the natural flow of their
wit and humor. The remarks attri
buted to them are not exactly authen
ticated by history, but they are too
good not to be bedieved. It is said
that when Johu Haucockaffixedhis bold
autograph he rouinrked : 'The Eng
lishmen will have no difficulty in read
ing that ;" that when Franklin signed
he said : "Now wo must all hang to
gether or we will hang separately ;"
and that Charles Carroll, of Corrollton,
when asked why tie wrote his place of
residence, replied that there was an
other Charles Carroll and he didn't
want them tc hang the wrong man.
The most enthusiastic advocate of
the great measure, aud the one who
led the debate in its support was John
Adams, of Massachusetts, aud when the
Declaration was adopted he wrote to
his wife : "This will be themopt memor
able epoch in the history of America ;
celebrated by descending generations
as the great anniversary festival, com
memorated as the day of deliverance
by solemn acts of devotion to God Al
mighty, solemnized with pomps,
shows, games, sports, guns, bolls, bon
fires, and illuminations from one end
of the continent to the other, from
this time forward, forever."

No institution of learning of itstyp
in this country can boat of a longer
and more honorable earner than the
P.oxbury Latin School. Founded in
l;i", within fifteen years after the
settlement of Koxbiiry, Dorchester,
Charlcstown uud Boston, its origin is
almost coeval with the beginning of
our New England civilization. At
the time that it was founded Koxbury
was but a small settlement of hardy
colonists, but that they entertained
high ambitions and high hopes is
made evido.it from the fact that they
established and maintained so long a
school of such high aims and widening
reputation. A glance; at the early
days of the K xbury Latin School
would take us back to the primitive
condition of our earliest colonial life.
Puritans founded the school; it was
taught by a Puritan schoolmaster and
attended by the Sons of Puritaus.
S one idea of the political conditions
which prevailed at its founding can vt
derived from the fact that but two
years before the colonies of Massachu
setts, Plymouth, Connecticut and New
Haven formed a confederation, called
the United Colonies of New England,
whose principle object WB9 Common
action in defence against hostile In
dians and the Dutch settlement
on the Hudson. That the school
did honest work and gave complete
satisfaction is shown by the fact
that it has lived through the storm
and stress of two and a half centuries
of war and peace. It has 6ent forth
young men to take part iu the colonial
cunpaigns agaiust the Indians; it fur
nishe d patriots and soldiers during
the trying days of the Revolution ; its
graduates have tilled many positions
of honor and trust throughout the his
tory of the li. public aud many of them
are today bearing an honorable part
in the work of the world. A school
cannot achieve such renown without a
capable corps of teachers, aud no
school has li!'. !! better equipped with
a teaching force than has the P.oxbury
Latin School, and its present Principal
aud instructors received and deserved
much honor on its 2o0th anniversary.
Not llnoiigli I.oum on the Coiuinou:
The foot of rich earth required to
top all grading now being doue near
the subway will be likely to cost a
m at little sum of expense. There is
so little loam on the parade ground
that in order to complete the grading
probably many loads will huve to be
bought outside. Every load so pur
chased wiil cost a dollar, aud a load
of loam spread to tho tuiekuess of a
foot makes a very small showing on a
plot so large as the parade ground.
The grading there has already been
Carried to a distance of fifty feet from
the top of the flagstaff hill. Men
are now taking loam from the cn
baukmelit just across the broad diag
onal walk from the Park-Square gate
of the Common, and in the excavation
thus made the contractors are pre
paring to set up a gravel screen
in,' ni'iehiiie protected by a small shed.
The maehiue is hardly more than a
rough sheet iron cylinder perforated
with holes of different size, so that
the sand and gravel fall into separate
bins while the larger stones slide out
at the eii.L The waste left by this
machine will probably go to fill the
excavation made by the removal of tho
loam. The contractors are still un
curtain about when the Fremont street
mall will be opened. They do not
care to hurry it much for it would
make more confusion and annoyance
for the public without hastening the
completion of the subway as a whole.
Jones and Meehan say they can easily
complete the tirst section of the subway
before the required time, next Decern
ver. The pile driving is all done. At
present the contractors are content to
devote themselves to the completion of
the wall for the incline to the portaL
This wall is gradually growing thicker
as it grows higher, and down at the
portal it will be about twelve feet
thick, a facing of stone backed up with
concrete. This thickness becomes
necessary to withstand the pressure,
