DEMOCRATIC HISTORY.
Senator t. JP. Merlon'i Address
be Seldler'a Brnnlaa, at Indiana
polis, October 15tb. 1875. .
Soldiers It has been my pleasant
duty to bid you a cordial welcome.
The work is wholly superfluous you
have a welcome in every loyal heart,
Every man who loves his country,
who loves liberty, is under a debt of
gratitude to the soldiers who pre
served that country and established
liberty. - I have seen a grander sight
to-day than 1 had ever expected to
see again. T saw the grand army of
Indiana in column, a part of the
grand army of the United States.
have seen nothing like it since the
march of General Sherman's army in
to Washington after peace had been
restored and the war was at an end.
This is a most memorable day in the
history of the capital of Indiana.
have seen more than a Hundred regi
ments in this very yard during the
m a i -l
war. .iney came nere ana we Daae
them good-bye when they went to the
field. They went with light hearts.
and we received them here when they
returned with thinned and shattered
ranks, with bronzed faces or with
countenances pale with woands and
disease. It was here that meeting
was held on the morning alter Mr.
Lincoln's assassination. This capilol.
this yard, and this camp are full of
memories many that are ead and sol
emn, and many that were pleasant,
and as I saw the regiments march np
the street yesterday 1 was reminded
of the scenes of the war, when they
carat! in without uniforms to be or
ganized, and take their departure for
the held. Hut you did not march
when you came here in 1861, 1862,
1863 and 1864 as you marched off yes
terday. Yesterday you had the march
of veterans; the education of the army
had not been forgotten, and it never
will be. Then these flags were new:
the silk was unstained. Now they
come back to us stained with the
storms of war, and torn by shot and
shell. . They are sacred emblems.
Many of them bear the blood of men
who carried them. They come cov
ered with memories that are sacred
in all our hearts, llere are some of
the soldiers of the war of 1812. They
have come down to us from a former
generation. , Here are many heroes of
the Mexican war. We are glad to
greet them. And here arc thousands
of the war of the late rebellion, that
war that tried men's souls, that war
that has established our government,
I trust forever, upon the principles of
human liberty and of human equality.
We never can repay the debt that we
owe to the Union soldiers. Money
cannot do it; office cannot do it. They
can only have their reward in their
own hearts, and in the love and grati
tude of their countrymen. Applause J
And this reward you - will have.
There will be fewer of you every year;
many are falling from day to day, but
you will be embalmed in the hearts
and memories of your countrymen.
You all remember how, as boys and
children, you loved the last soldiers
of the Revolutionary war; how you
now cherish their memories; and so
will your memories be venerated.
You made sacrifices for which you
can never be compensated.' It was
with you
NO HOLIDAY BUSINESS.
You were not going for amusement
or excitement. It was the most sol
emn business in which men ever en
gaged. The very flower of the youth
and manhood of Indiana went to the
field the men of nerve, of resolution:
the men who loved their country, and
they had to risk everything for its
f (reservation. They loved their fann
ies, their parents, their wives and
children, as dearly as those that stayed
at home. But they felt that their
country was at stake, and they risked
everything that that country might
live. Let them be assured that what-
ever may happen, that the country
will not be ungrateful. You went to
the field understanding well what the
issue was. A great attempt was be
ing made to divide and destroy our
countiy. Eleven States had
FORMED A NEW CONFEDERACY,
had declared their separation from
the Nation. We know the work once
begun would not have stopped with
the first division. It would have been
divided again and again until it would
have been in small, bloody, and hos
tile fragments. When Indiana was
first called upon by President Lincoln
the demand was small. He issued .
his proclamation in April for seventy-;
five thousand men for three months.
Indiana was required to furnish six
regiments of eight hundred and forty
men each, and when, as the Governor j
of the Htate, I issued my proclamation '
asking for volunteers, a leading paper
in this city said Governor Morton
cannot get six regiments for any such
purpose as that; but before the war
was over we had mustered into the
service of the United States in the
State of Indiana two hundred and
eight thousand three hundred and
seventy-six men. Applause, and a
voice, "I was one of the boys." And
more could have been had if they had
been asked for. Now, consider what
the sacrifice was made by Indiana
alone, only as one of the States of this
Union. Of those who went to the
field six hundred and fifty-two com
missioned officers were killed in bat
tle or died from disease, while in the
army; twenty-three thousand seven
hundred and sixty-four non-commissioned
officers and privates were killed
upon the field, or died in the field
from wounds and disease, making
twenty-four thousand four hundred
and sixteen. Then there were miss
ing men who were unaccounted for,
whose fate could not be ascertained,
thirteen thousand seven hundred and
seventy-nine. It was estimated by
the Adjutant-General, whose means
of information were the best, .that of
that number six thousand were killed
in battle, or died in remote hospitals,
or by the wayside, making thirty
thousand four hundred and ten that
fell in the field from Indiana. But
that was not all. Many of those men
were discharged from the service on
account of wounds or disease con
tracted in the service, and they came
home to die. They fell in the war
just as much as if they had died upon
tne neia ot oaiue. it is estimated
that of all those who were discharged
from wounds or disease, that fifteen
thousand died. This, added to the
other, would make forty-five thousand
four hundred and ten as the sacrifice
of Indiana. But that is not all.
They tell us
.' THE WAR HAS ENDED.
In one respect it has, but in another
it has not. Men are falling from day
to day, going into premature graves
because of the disease, wounds and
hardships incurred during the war
men who served their time out and
were discharged at the end of the
contest these men are going to pre
mature graves every day, so that the
sacrifice of Indiana was not confined to
forty-five thousand men, but you may
say fifty, Btventy-five, perhaps soon
to be a hundred thousand. We can
hardly comprehend the magnitude, of
what even ths people of Indiana have
given that our country might live
But it was not confined to blood alone.
There were other evidences of the
devotion of this people. For. example,
the different towns, counties and
townships made voluntary contribu
tions in their corporate character for
local bounties, for the relief of the
soldiers' lamilies and for sanitary
purposes, amounting to $20,258,640,
as shown by the official papers. This
docs not include private contributions
for sanitary purposes, which would
run the whole contribution up to over
thirty millions of dollars. As Gov
ernor, I issued during the war eight
een thousand eight hundred and
eighty-four commissions to officers in
the army, from which you get some
idea of the magnitude of the army,
and the length of time it was in the
field. The soldiers of Indiana fought
in three hundred and eight battles.
They were in the first battle of the
war,t Phillipi, in Western Virginia.
We thought it was a groat battle then,
and I had all the bells mag in this
town when I got the intelligence. It
was rather a small affair as compared
with what took place afterwards, but
it
SERVED TO FIRE ALL OUR HEARTS.
And Indiana troops fought the last
battle of tho war the battle of Pal
metto Ranch, in Texas, and on the
old battle-field of Palo Alto, where
two hundred and fifty Indiana troops
met and defei.ted five hundred rebels
and a battery of artillery. I believe
the first man and the last killed in
the war was from tho State of Indi
ana. I Applause. I v nat was an tins
for? There were great principles at
stake. I call your attention to them.
That which was worth fighting for is
worth preserving after the battle is
over. Those principles are still at
stake, and they will be so long as this
country is preserved. lou loucht
for the principles of nationality. The
rebellion was founded upon the idea
thai we . were not one nation; that
earn JMate was a nation; tnat a man s
first allegiance was due to lm State,
and not to the whole nation. That
doctrine was what made the rebellion
possible. Slavery was the stimulus;
it-'was-the promoting cause. But
slavery alone could never have made
the rebellion. The rebellion was
brought about by this doctrine that
we are not one nation, but every State
is a nation, and a man's first, allegi
ance is due to his own State. A
large body of the people of the South
did not believe in secession. A great
many men of the South were opposed
to it, but they believed in the doctripe
of State sovereignty and they had to
go with their State. General Lee, the
great commander ot the rebellion,
WAS OPPOSED TO SECESSION.
He said it was unnecessary, that there
was no cause lor it; but he believed
that Virginia was a nation of herself.
and that whatever Virginia resolved
to do. be bad to go with her, there
fore, when Virginia voted to secede,
Robert L. Lee believed that he had
to go with Virginia; and it was that
doctrine that made the rebellion pos
sible. That doctrine was not extin
guished by the suppression of the
rebellion. 1 know a great many peo
ple think so; but I am sorry to say
the people of the South had been ed
ucated in that doctrine. You con
quered them, soldiers, but you did
not convert them; you did not change
their opinions and their education.
It is a sad and solemn fact that upon
that question the great mass of the
people of the South believe just as
they did betore. 1 here are even those
in the North who believe in that doc
trine. There is no safety to this na
tion in the far future so long as any
considerable mass of people believe in
that doctrine. Some think the doc
trine was invented by slavery, for the
benefit of slavery, and perished with
slavery, and is buried in the same
grave. But that is not so. It was
invented in seventeen hundred and
ninety-eight. It had received five
different applications in different
parts of the country before slavery
seized upon it as the instrumentality
for establishing a new Confedeiacy.
ONE NATION, ONE PEOPLE.
We are a nation, one people.
whether living in Ohio, Indiana.
South Carolina, or California, sub
divided into States for local and do
mestic government. States having
their rights sacred, unapproachable,
guaranteed by the constitution.- But
after all, the States are but integral
parts of our great nation, and the na
tion is over all. The rights ot the
States are not dependent npon an out
side theory, called the theory of State
sovereignty; but their rights are guar
anteed and secured by the Constitu
tion of the United States, a better
security than this outside theory of
State sovereignty. We stand by the
rights of the States, but we do not
base them upon the theory that each
State is a nation, but we do base them
on and hold them under the security
and guaranty ot the Constitution of
the United States. We cannot tell
when the next trouble will come; we
do not see it now, but in the far
future, it may be a quarter of a cen
tury off, new troubles may spring up
they may be in the North, in the
South, in the East, or in the West
to cause disturbance and dissatisfac
tion. It may come on the Pacific
slope, separated from us by thousands
of miles of plain and mountain, with
a different commerce, with vast capac
ities and resources; disturbances,
dissatisfaction, or ambition may rise
up there, and then, if they do, they
will seize upon the same doctrine
that California, Oregon, and Nevada
arc separate nations, each a nation,
and has a right to withdraw itself from
this great country. No. Our security
is in the idea of nationality; whether
a man lives in New York or Indiana
or California, let him be imbued with
the idea that he is a citizen of one
great nation, and he carries his na-
tionality with him wherever he goes.
Buring the year two men met in Paris
and were introduced to each other at
a party given by a distinguished
French statesman. They inquired
where each other was from. One said
he was a citizen of the United States.
and the other said, "I am a citizen of
Virginia, sir." "Yes, ves,' says the
man, "Virginia, a small part of the
United States that is now being chas
tised for disobedience. .Laughter.
lou have placed the government o
this country tor the hrst time upon
the principles proclaimed by our
fathers in the
DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.
When that declaration was made
our father's laid down the principle
upon which the new government
ought to be Tormed; but then they
could not carry those principles into
execution. ' Slavery : existed. They
expected it soon to pass away, but
1 circumstances afterwards occurred
: that caused slavery to grow and strike
i its roots into the soil and society of
j the nation, and it lived on and on and
Jgrew very powerful,-and finally at
tempted to destroy the nation itself.
Then, under the providence of God,
though it cost half a million of lives,
billions of dollars, caused suffering
and sorrow throughout this land and
filled it with widows and orphans.
and caused misery that language can
not, uescrioe or numan imagination
. comprehend; through all that trial
J and sacrifice slavery was destroyed,
. the nation was preserved, and our
I government, for the first time, at the
end of nearly a century, placed upon
mis aocinne wnicn was nrst pro
claimed by the fathers of the republic.
And there it is now. We have nowset
the glorious example to the world,
and we may expect it will be followed.
I It takes time to work out all great
changes in regard to the government.
We wer nearly a century, in this
country, in placing our government
upon its true foundation. Then do
not despair of progress in Europe.
That declaration of independence,
though never formally adopted by
more thin one or two nations in Eu
rope, has had its effect upon all their
governments. They have all felt its
influence, and it is net only a blessing
to our country but it has been a bless
ing to the people of every civilized
laud. It has worked its changes, and
I believe the time will come, under
tho providence of God, when th9
principles of that great declaration
will control the governments of the
old world as they now do the people
of the United States. I said the na
tion could never repay .you; neither
can it, except in the gratitude and the
love of the whole people.
DISTINCTION BETWEEN UNION AND
REBEL SOLDIERS.
I know that we are now told by
some that the time is comertffTiboHsa
all distinctions between the men who
fought for the Union and the men who
fought to destroy it. Voice "Nev
er. ' They say let bygones' be by
gones; bury all the animosities of the
war; put all upon the same platform,
and, 1 suppose, love all equally well.
They tell us that the rebels were hon
est; they thought they were doing
right; they were just as sincere as the
Union- soldier, therefore, all being
honest, treat all alike, precisely as if
each one was right, make no distinc
tions, and therefore be a band of
brothers. Well, I do not say that
they were not sincere down there, but
I do say that it requires a great deal
of bad education to make a man be
lieve he is doing right when he is
fighting to destroy his country and
establish human slavery. Applause.
But whether they were sincere or not
makes no difference; they must mor
ally, they must in history be held re
sponsible for the moral quality of
their actions. We forgive them, we
bury the animosities of the war, but
we cannot forget, nor can we ever
compromise our principles. Wc ought
not to forget. We may forgive our
enemy, and that is our Christian duty,
but it does not follow that we are
bound to love him as if he had been
our friend. It doe not follow that
we are bound to honor arid reward
him, and give him preference over
our friends.- We give to them all
their political rights.
ELIGIBILITY OF .REBEL OFFICERS.
Of all the rebellious eight millions
tbare arc only about one hundred
men now who are not eligible under
the constitution to be President of the
United States and hold office in the
government. They have all had the
right to vote from the end f the war,
including Jeff. Davis himself. But
Jeff, and a few others of the worst are
still resting under the disabilities of
tho fourteenth amendment. But I
speak of them generally. They have
been relieved from all legal disabili
ties; they are eligible now to all polit
ical rights, under the law, and as an
evidence of it, in the next House of
Representatives at Washington there
will be seventy -four rebel officers, and
I believe in the Senate eight rebel
officers, making eighty-two rebel offi
cers in the next Congress. That
ought to be some evidence that the
government has acted most liberally
with those who were lately its enemy
in arms. But you cannot afford, for
the lesson it teaches to your children,
because of your own character, your
own self-respect, to have those who
were in arms against their country
and for slavery put upon the same
platform with yourselves. There was
a right and a wrong in that great con
test. You were on the right side and
they were on the wrong side. They
must take that place in history which
they made for themselves, and you
are entitled to that place which you
made for yourselves. The fact that
many of them thought they were do
ing right does not alter the case. The
tories of the revolution thought they
were right, very sincere the most of
them, many of them among the most
respectable and intelligent men of that
day. Our fathers knew that, but they
never forgave them as we have the
rebels. They held them responsible
for what they did, and although they
relieved them from confiscation, and
most of their political disabilities, I
believe not one of them ever after
wards got into Congress. Those who
Eersecuted for religion's sake, who
urned at the stake, who trod with
wild horses, thought they were doing
right. They believed they were serv
ing God; but we know that it was
murder, and history holds them re-
sponsible. When the King of France
i ordered the massacre ot St. Bartholo-
; mew, though it made the cheek of hu-
manity turn pale. lie thought he was
doing right, and that he was serving
God. The Thugs of India think they
are serving their deity. When the
India mother casts her infant into the
Ganges, she thinks she is serving God;
but we regard it as murder. "
FORGIVENESS BUT NOT FORGETFUL
1 NESS.
Wp forgive them; we want them to
do well; we want them to learn the
lessons of history and stand by us in
the future. What shall be tho lesson
we teach to our children, my friends,
if we put those who fought for slavery
and to destroy the country, in ten
years upon the same platform with
those who fought for liberty: and. the
country? Shall we say to our chil-
dren that it makes no difference
whether you arc for your country or
against it? That if you try to destroy
your country and succeed, you are all
right; if you try to destroy your coun
try and do not succeed, why, you are
all right anyhow; there is no penalty,
there is no consequence following it?
No, 1 want you to teach your children
to the remotest generation that those
who fought for country and for liberty
deserve the thanks and the love of
the nation and the world, and that
those who fought for slavery and to
destroy the nation must take that
place in history which their conduct
has assigned to them; and that they
have nobody to complain of but them
selves. Stand fast by your principles.
Do not dishonor your own record by
conceding that may be all were right
and equally honest, and therefore there
should be no distinctions. This doc
trine leads to other consequences
right at your door. If you should
abolish all distinctions, and concede
they were all equally honest and
equally worthy, then you must recog
nize that in the law. You must pen
sion them, you mut pay them, yon
must make no distinctions; and it
leads to this conclusion: that those
who fought to destroy the nation and
to establish a new confederacy, the
chief corner-stono of whi?h was to
have been human slavery, are after
wards to be rewarded and paid out of
the treasury of the nation. Th.-it is
the logical and necessary result of
that doctrine. If you will stand fast
by your principles, they in time will
come to you. As Gen. Sherman said
the other day, stand fast by your
own record, assert ine ground tnat
you stood on, ana let tnem under
stand the ground that they stood on;
and while we forgive them in our
hearts we never can admit the justice
or righteousness of their cause." He
said if we only stand upon that ground,
in fifty years from this day we will
not find a man who would admit that
his father was a rebel. Just now" you
cannot find a man in this country that
will admit that his father was a tory
during the revolution. According to
that doctrine you ought to burn these
old flags: you ought to pull down
your monuments in Putnam and other
counties in the State of Indiana, be
cause they are disagreeable reminders
of the war. On the contrary, I would
preserve these old banners as long as
two threads will hang together.
Jtut whenever I begin to talk about
these things some fellow springs up
and says, "Oh, you are shaking the
bloody shirt." Well, the most of
men tnat taiic tnat way wear curry
shirts and carry soiled records.

government remain in the bands of
oval soldiers than to see it pass under
the control of Confederate soldiers.
think it is better for them as it is
better for u. As I said before, you
conquered them but you could not
convert them. Let me say to you, for
we might as well understand the situ
ation ns it is, the most foolish thing a
man can do is to volunteer to deceive
himself, and the wisest thing a man
ever did is to understand luiiy tne
situation; then they know how to
meet it. Understand that these men.
my friends, that you conquered, have
human natures, and you do not there
by secure their love. They do not
ove you tor doing it, and if they had
the power they would not exercise it
for your benefit, but rather would
they exercise it for their own.
THE WAR DEBT.
A great debt was contracted to pay
the soldiers to carry on the war to put
down the rebellion. That debt may
be said to have been made on account
of the army for the benefit of the na
tion. We arc in honor bouud to pay
it. It is a moral obligation resting
upon every loyal man, but the men of
the South, who feel deeply, who are
conquered and humiliated feel under
no moral obligation to pay that debt,
none whatever. It was created for
their subjugation, and they do not
love the rod with which the stripes
were inflcted. When men tell you
that they arc willing to pay the debt
and to accept the whole situation,
they are simply deceiving you; there
fore it is better for this nation, it is
better in tho long run, it is better for
you that the power of this government
should remaiu with the Union sol
diers, rather than with the Confeder
ate foldiers The men who did not
sympathize with you during the war
in the hour of your trial those
men do not sympathize with you now.
THE STRUGGLE AT HOME.
Soldiers, while you were in the field
there was a struggle going on at home
that a great many of you did not com
prehend. The army could not be
sustained in the field without they
were supported by public opinion at
home. We had our struggles here,
hard and long were they, and the suf
fering and anxiety at home were far
greatereven than they were with you
in the" field. I speak to you about
mental suffering; your wives, chil
dren, parents, and your dear friends
were on "the ragged edge" of anxiety
and even despair. , While you were in
the field with the excitement of the
camp and the battle, you thought
much less of these things than the
people did at home. At night when
vou laid down in your bivouac, some
times upon the frozen ground, in the
snow or in the sorm, then the thought
of home , would come crowding upon
you, overpowering you; but in the
heat of the contest you thought only
of the present. But those dear hearts
at-home were watching your fate.
You cannot understand the anxiety
with which every mail was looked for
from the army.
I am to-day feeling emotions which
I cannot express to you. The most
important part of my life was that
which was connected with the army.
It was not my fortune to go to the
field. I was placed in a position of
much responsibility and labor con
nected with the army. I ever look
back to it as the most solemn, the
most interesting part ot my lite.
THE SACRIFICE OF THE WAR, '
When the soldiers went away I was
always oppressed With the idea, as I
saw regiment after regiment depart
from the State-house and from tbe
depot how many of those men that
go away with cheers on their lips will
never come back; how many of them
will find graves in the South! They
are leaving home, wife, children,
father, mother, for tho last time. . It
was very certain that many of them
would not come back, and yet ; they
went away with light hearts. I have
seen regiments go from here to the
depot, and they would inarch through
lines of friends that were in the city
to see them depart fathers, mothers,
brothers and sisters walking along by
the line, and getting a last shake of
the hand as they went away, many of
them : never to return. I saw regi
ments coming back with one-third
and one-fourth of the number with
which they went away; men with
solemn and staid countenances, who
bad the education that war alone can
give, that can only be obtained in the
shock and storm of battle. I saw
these men go back after three years of
service, many of them with health im
paired, and yet I saw them with few
exceptions, volunteer and go back -to
the field again until the war was over.
Oh, it was a grand and noble sacrifice.
that only treemen and intelligent men.
men that love liberty, can make. .
THE SOLDIERS AFTER THE WAR.
You know what was said by your
enemies, both at home and in Europe,
that when that great army of a mil
lion and a half of men was disbanded,
the soldiers would have contracted a
love for a life of adventure and of
strife; that they would be dissatisfied
with the pursuits of pence; that they
would become idle and vicious citi
zens. But what a lesson wc taught
Europe! That army was disbanded
and moulded like the snow into the
ranks of civil life, to return to the
pursuits of peace to the farm, the
shop, the office and they became the
very l-est ot citizens as they had been
the very best of soldiers. Applause.
We 6howed what this nation could
rely upon.
Soldiers, my heart is too full to
speak to you any more. 1 have said
tnat I have seen what I never expect
ed to see again, and I now bid you
good bye, saying, may God bless the
Union soldiers. Applause, and
cheers for Morton.

"It's a nice evening."; She said
"Yes; it is truly delightful, but then

The Decay at Olaciers.
A glacier is a' current of ice derived
from snow. Complete glaciers of the
first order take their rise on the
mountains, and descend into the sea,
just as all complete rivers of the first
order do. In North Greenland the
snow supply and general climatic con
ditions arc such that its glaciers pour
directly into the ocean, and so un
doubtedly did those of the Pacific
slope during the flush times of the
glacial epoch; but now the world is so
warm and the snow crop so scanty,
nearly all the glaciers left alive have
melted to mere hints of their former
pelves. The Lyell Glacier is now less
a mile long; yet, setting out from
the frontal moraine, we may trace its
former course on grooved and polish
ed surfaces and by immense canons
and moraines a distance of more than
forty miles.
The glaciers of Switzerland are in a
like decaying condition as compared
with their former grandeur; so also
are those of Norway, Asia, and South
America. They have come to resem
ble the short rivers of the eastern
slope of the Sierra that flow out into
the hot plains and are dried up. Ac
cording to the Schlagintweit brothers,
tbe glaciers of Switzerland melt at an
average elevation above the level of
the sea of 7,414 feet. The glacier of
Grindelwald melts at less than $4,000
feet; that of the Aar at about 6,000.
The Himalaya glacier, in which the
Ganges takes its rise, does not, ac
cording to Captain Hodgson, descend
below 12,814 feet. Tbe average ele
vation at which the glaciers of the
Sierra melt is not far from 11,000 feet
above sea lea level. John Muir, in

A FORTUNATE KISS
Am Old ttmt Uaod SweOteb Stary.
The following pretty story is narra
ted by Braner, who vouches for its
truthfulness: - , . -
. Ia the great university of Upsala
in Sweden, lived a young student, a
noble youth,' with a great , love . for
etudjfs, but without means for pur
suing them. He was poor; without
connections. Still he studied, living
in great poverty, but keeping a cheer
ful heart, and trying to look pleasant
ly at the future, which looked .so
grimly at hiki. ";His good humor and
excellent qualities made him beloved
by his comrades, s -i . : t
One day he was standing at the
square with some of them, prattling
away an hour of leisure, when their
attention was arrested by a young and
beautiful lady, who, by the side of an
elder one, was slowly walking over
the place. It was the daughter of the
Governor of Upsala. living in that
city, and the lady was her governess.
She was generally known for goodness'
and gentleness of character, and look .
ed at .with admiration by all the stu
dents. As the young men stood gaz
ing at her as she went bv. like a craee-
ful vision, one of them suddenly ex
claimed: "Well, it would bo worth some.
thing . to have a kiss from , such a
mouth. - .
The poor student, the hero of our
story, who looked on ; that pure, an
gelic face, exclaimed as if by inspira
tion: , ,
"I think I could have it."
"Well, well," exclaimed his friends
in a chorus: "Are you crazy? Do
you know her?"
'Not at all," he answered, "but I
think she would kiss me if I asked
her.". ! -v .
"What, in this place and before all
our eyes?".
"Yes."
"Freely?"
t,;Yes.'
"Well, if she would give you a kiss
in that manuer I will give you a thou
sand dollars," exclaimed one of the
party.
"And I, and I," exclaimed two or
three others, for it happened several
rich men were among the group, and
bets ran' high on so improbable an
event. The challenge was made and
received in less time than we take to
tell it.
Our hero (my authority tells not
whether he was plain or handsome; I
have peculiar reasons for believing he
was rather plain, but singularly good
looking at the same time) immediate
ly walked up to the young lady and
said: ...
"Mine fraulcin, my fortune is now
in your hands."
She looked at him in astonishment,
but arrested her footsteps..
He proceeded to 6tate his name and
condition, his aspiration, and repeated
simply what had just taken place be
tween him and his comrades.
The young lady listened attentively,'
and at his ceasing to . speak, she said
blushingly, but with great sweetness:
"If bv so little a thing so much
I good can be effected, it would be fool
ish in me to refuse your request."
And publicly, in the open square,
she kissed him. . "
Next day the student was sent for
by the Governor. He wanted to seo
the man who had dared to seek a kiss
from his daughter that way, and
whom she had consented to kiss.
He received him with a scrutiniz
ing bow, but after an -hour's conversa
tion was so pleased with him that he
ordered our hero to dine at his-table
during his studies at Upsala.
Our friend pursued his studies in
such a manner that it soon made him
regarded as the most promising stu
dent in the university.
- Three- years are now elapsed since
the first kiss, when the young man
was allowed to give the second kiss to
the daughter of the Governor, as his
wife.
He became, later,- one of the most
noted scholars in Sweden, and was
much respected for his character.
His words will endure while time
lasts among the works of science; and
from this happy union sprang a family
well known in Sweden at the present
time; whose wealth and high position
in society are regarded as trifles in
comparison with their great goodness
and love. : . '
A Brier History or tne Press, i
' From the New York Graphic.
American journalism is one - hun
dred and eighty-five years old; next
year it will be older than our national
centennial by eighty six years. The
head of the tHres was Benjamin Har
ris, of Boston. His paper was entitled.
Publick ' Occurrences. " Franklin's
brother, surly James, came in second,
and afterwards fourth. In 1772 Ben
jamin became a live editor, and con
sidering his times he was the greatest
editor humanity has produced. In
our ieriod such a man would be a '
vast advance upon any known editor.
How he found so much leisure for
social and political life and science is
a marvel. We look with sympathy
upon the Philadelphia editor of the
5 resent day when we remember
'ranklin his library, his hospital,
his streets and ' railroads, his firo
buckets and his kite.
New York journalism began six
years after Philadelphia, and thirty-'
five years after Boston. William
Bradford, at tho age of seventy, start
ed the New York Gazette in 1725,
under Governor Fletcher's patronage,
and so virtuous was the business in ,
those days that he lived to ninety-two.
Go over the Trinity church yard and
see his gravestone, itself one hundred
and twenty-three years old, and re
flect that if the old chap had lived in
these days he would have been called
a political stipendiary and his paper -a
kitchen organ. The fourth eity to
have a press was Annapolis, Maryland,
in 1727, and the fifth in Newport, in
1732, James Franklin, before referred
to, founding it. Tbe first newspaper
in the South was published at Charles
ton, in 1731, five years before Virginia
had a press at Williamsburg. Con
necticut had a newspaper, at New
Haven in 1775, Delaware one at Wil
mington in 1761, New Jersey the first
in 1777. There were forty-three pa
pers in America at the date King
George acknowledged our independ
ence. The first regular daily in
America was issued in 1784 by Frank
lin's grandson, Bache the Philadel
phia Advertiser. The next year New
York had a daily issued by Child
(not G. W.), also called the Adver-
titer."-The first Wei tern daily paper
was the Cincinnati Gazette, issued in
1827, after twenty-one years of heb
domadal existence- The St Louis
Republican followed in 1828. The
Charleston Courier, started by a Mas
sachusetts Yankee more than seventy
years ago, disposed of its, files in one
hundred and fifty volumes last year
for the sum of $2,250 a remarkably
low price, as there is no duplicate of
them. Albany had her first daily in
1824, the News. The New York daily
ress of the present dates as follows :
un, 1833; Herald, 1835; Tribune,
1841; Times, 1851; World, 1859. The
great names in journalism are. Frank
lin, Gales, Bryant,. Greeley, Morse,
and Hoe. - There are about 550 daily
newspapers in America now. with a
combined circulation ot not less than
3,000,000, or one -newspaper to every
twelve souls. No country in the
world approaches- thia .standard of
circulation; no other form of govern
ment to stimulate it. - The press owes
everything to the republic; the repub
lic too often gets scant encourage
ment from the Dress. To-dav in
Prance the editors are petitioning the
Government for liberty; in San Fran

The Ieafh rOeKalb.
Above them all towered the gallant
German at their head. His sword
was stained deepest, his battle-cry
rang clearest; there was triumph in
the keen flash of his eye- if not the
victor's triumph, the triumph of duty
done. Three times he led his willing
men to the charge. Three times they
wero forced back by superior num
bers. For numbers began to tell.
His horse was 6hot under him. His
head was laid open by a sabre stroke.
Jaquette, the Adjutant of the Dela
ware regiment, bound up the wound
with bis scarf and besought him to
withdraw from the fight. Without
heeding the appeal, DeKalb led tbe
charge on foot. Wound followed
wound, but he held his ground des
perately. m At last, concentrating his
strength in a final charge, Cornwallis
came on. The Marylanders broke.
DeKalb fell, bleeding from eleven
wounds, still at this supreme moment
6trong enough to cut down a soldier
who was aiming his bayonet at his
breast. "The rebel General, the reb
el General I" shouted the enemy, as
they caught sight of his epaulettes.
"Spare the Baron DeKalb," cried his
Adjutant, Dubuysson, vainly throw
ing himself upon his body and trying
to shield it with his own from the
thirsty bayonets. He spoke to hearts
hardened by the fierce spirit of battle.
The furious English raised the help
less -warrior from the ground, and
leaning him against a wagon began to
strip him. At this moment Corn
wallis and his suite rode up. ' They
found ' him already stripped, to his
shirt, and with the blood streaming
from eleven wound. "I regret to see
you so badly wounded, but am glad to
have defeated you," said the victorious
General, and immediately gave orders
that his brave antagonist should be
properly cared for. - For three das
his strong frame struggled with death.
Dubuysson watched by his bedside.
English officers came to express their
sympathy and grief. Soldiers to the
last, his thoughts were with the brave
men who had faced the enemy so gal
lantly at his command, and just before
he expired he charged his faithful '
Adjutant to give them his "thanks for
their valor and bid them an effection
ate farewell."
On the 19th he died, three days af
ter the battle. The Masons of the
British army took part in his funeral,
and buried him with Masonic rites.
Gates announced his death to Con
gress in terms , of warm admiration,
and Congress voted a monument to
his memory, which has never been
erected. George Washington Greene,

Depth ot tlie Great Lake.
There is a mystery about the Amer
ican lakes. Lake Erie is only sixty
or seventy feet deep; but Lake Onta
rio, which is 500 feet deep, is 230 feet
deep below the tide level of the ocean,
or as low as most parts of the Gulf of
St. Lawrence; and the bottoms of
lakes Huron, Michigan, and Superior,
although the surface is much Higher,
are all from their vast depth on a level
with the bottom of Ontario; now as
the Detroit river, after allowing for
all the probable portion carried off by
evaporation, does not appear by any
means equal to the quantity of water
which the three upper lakes receive,
it has been conjectured that a subter
ranean river may run from Lake Su
perior, by the Huron, to Lake Onta
rio. This conjecture is not impossible,
and accounts for the singular fact that
herring and Salmon are caught in the
lake communicating with the St.
Lawrence, but no others. Aa the
Falls of Niagara must have existed
always, it would puzzle the naturalists
to say now these fish got into the up
per fake without some subterranean
river; besides any periodieal exami
nations of the Tiver would furnish a
not improbable solution of the mys
terious flux and reflux of the lakes.
