A NATION’S BIRTH/ v- ' - * , HOW IT WAS CELEBRATED NEW YORK IN 1788. -r V . A Magnificent Parade In Honor tire Adoption of (the Federal Constitution Followed By a Sumptuous Banquet. . On the 13th of September, 1788, the adoption of the Federal Constitution was publicly announced, New York chosen as the seat of the general govern¬ ment. Her citizens were jubilant; no higher honor could be paid them. When the news arrived festivities of all kinds followed; dinners, dances and were the order of the day. Public bodies and private individuals did all they pos¬ sibly could to mark their sense of the honor done the city and to show the gratification they - felt, i A magnificent procession was organ¬ ized to celebrate the Federal Constitution and money was lavishly spent upon the memorable enterprise. .The procession was formed in the fields above the city. ’Twas the Indian summer and the soft rays of the sun fell upon the trappings of silver and gold that marked the glorious cortege. A brilliant military escort led the way. Then came Captain Moore, who assumed the character and ancient costume of Christopher Columbus, surrounded by a band of foresters with glittering axes and the stalwart foresters, in their attire of green, commanded the admiration of the multitude. , Foremost among a large number of farmers were Nicholas Cruger, driving a six ox team, and the venerable John Watts, holding a plow, and Baron Poelnitz, attending a thresh¬ ing machine. All the implements of husbandry and gardening, emblems of peace and prosperity, were carried; the horses were richly caprisoned and led by boys in -white uniforms.-- The tailors made a great display in numbers, uniforms and decorations. In the procession of the bakers were boys in beautiful dresses representing the several States, with roses in their hands. Jour¬ neymen were clothed in appropriate uni¬ forms with the implement of the calling and they carried a loaf of bread which was ten feet long and three feet wide, the names of the several States being in¬ scribed on this substantial staff of life. Then came the banners of the brewers fluttering gayly in the balmy air. These sons of Gambrinus paraded cars mounted with hogsheads and tuns decorated with festoons of hop vines intertwined with handfuls of barley. Seated-upon the top of a tun was a living representative of Bacchus—a beautiful eight-year-old boy —dressed iu flesh colored silk, fitting snugly to his limbs and thus disclosing all the fine symmetrical proportions of his body. In his' hand he held a silver goblet, pretending to quaff the “spicy nut brown ale,” and in his hand was a garland of hops and barley ears. Quite unique was the long procession of coopers. Their emblem of the States TORS thirteen boys, each thirteen years of age, dressed in white, with green ribbons at their ankles, a keg under their left arms and a bough of white oak in their right hands. Upon an immensely large car, drawn by horses, appropriately adorned, the coopers were at work. They had a broken cask representing the old Confederacy, the staves of which all their skill could not keep together. In despair at the repeated nullification which their work experienced they all at once betook themselves to the construction of an en tirely new piece of work. Their success was complete, and a fine, tight, iron bound keg arose from their hands, bear¬ ing the name of the new constitution. The butchers also attracted much at¬ tention, for they had a car on which was a roasted ox of a thousand pounds which was given as a sweet morsel to the hungry multitude at the close of the day. The car of the Sons of St. Crispin was _ drawn by four milk white studs, beauti¬ fully caparisoned. The tanners, curriers and peruke makers followed next in order, each with various banners and significant emblems. The furriers were picturesque. Their marshal was followed by an Indian in his native costume and armor, as though coming wild from the wilderness, laden with raw furs for the market. A proces¬ sion of journeymen furriers followed,each bearing some dressed or manufactured article. These were succeeded by a horse, bearing two packs of furs and a huge bear sitting upon each. The horse was led by an Indian in a beaver blanket and black plumes waving upon his head. In the rear came one of their principal men, dressed in a superb scarlet cap and plumes and smoking a tomahawk pipe. After these in order marched the stonemasons, bricklayers, painters and glaziers, cabinet and chair makers, musical instrument makers and the upholsterers. The decorations of the societies vied with each other in taste and variety, but that of the upholsterers excelled. The Federal chair of State was borne upon a car superbly carpeted, and above which was a rich canopy, nineteen feet high, overlaid with deep blue satin, hung with festoons and fringes “barbaric and glittering in the sun as with pomp and gold.” It was in the height of Oriental splendor and magnificence and Dt for a Persian Emperor. Twelve sub-divisions of various trades succeeded, after which came the most imposing part of the pageant. It was the Federal ship Hamilton, a perfectly frigate of thirty-two guns, twenty-seven feet keel, ten feet beam, with galleries and everything complete in proportion, with hull and rigging. was manned by thirty seamen and marines, with officers, all in uniform, and by the distinguished revolu veteran Commodore Nicholson. ship was drawn by ten horses, and the progress of the procession went everv ci cry nautical nautical nremr-fiM preparation , -md M for .storms, calms and squalls, for f be suddel1 shifting of winds. The . bociety and the pilots fol nirine the ship and after them came the trades of printers, bookbinders stationers. The printers had a car on which was mounted a press that struck off impressions of a patriotic ode and distributed the sheets along the route. Their bannners were among the finest in the procession. Then came twenty-one subdivisions of as many differ¬ ent trades, followed by the learned pro¬ fessions and the literary societies. Nearly five thousand people were in this procession, and fc was one of the finest pageants ever witnessed on the continent of America. Then it was thought that such a sight could never bs surpassed in America. To the sound of martial music the procession moved down Broadway to Great Dock street. In passing Liberty street the ship Hamilton made a signal for a pilot, and a boat came off and put one on board. On arriving before Con stable’s house Mrs. Edgar came to the window and presented the ship with a suit of rich silk colors. The yards were in¬ stantly manned and the sailors gave three hearty cheers. Amid walls of human beings the splendid cortege passed through Hanover square and Queen (now Pearl) street up to Chatham. In passing Old Slip a Spanish Government ship gave the Hamilton a salute of thirteen guns, which was returned with as much prompt¬ ness as though she had actually been a ship of war upon the wide ocean. Through Chatham street the procession passed to Division and thence across through Bullock street to the grounds surrounding the country seat of Nicholas Bayard, near the present junction of Broadway and Grand street. There a magnificent banquet was spread for all beneath a grand pavilion temple covering a surface of 800 by 600 feet, with plates for 6000 people. This noble pavilion was erected in four days, and was due to the taste and enterprise of Major L’Enfant, who had designed the old Custom House in Wall street. The two principal sides of the building con¬ sisted of three large pavilions connected by a colonnade of about 150 feet front and forming two sides of an obtuse angle. The middle pavilion rose majestically above the whole, terminating with a dome, on which was Fame and her trumpet. When the banquet was over the pro¬ cession reformed, marched again into the city, and was dismissed at the Bowling Green, where the Federal ship fired a closing salute .—New York Herald. A Farmer Crushes a Fop. A fashionably attired young gentleman dropped into a London restaurant one afternoon, aud, after calling for refresh¬ ments, turned to the company, and offered to bet on a variety of different subjects, but found no takers. Glancing round contemptuously.he remarked: “You don’t seem to have much sport, gentlemen; but I am bound to make a bet on something. I don’t care what it is,or how much it is. Anything you like,from a shilling’s worth of cigars to a hundred pounds. Who’s on.” In one corner of the room sat a plain old gentleman, who looked as though he might be a farmer. He said: “Well, sir, I am not in the habit of making bets, I don’t but as you so particularly wish It miml having- a little one with you. I’ll bet you half-a-crown’s worth of cigars that I can pour a quart of treacle into your tat and turn it out a solid lump of candy in two minutes.” “Done!” said the masher, taking off his hat and handing it to the farmer. It was a splendid article, that might have been new the day before. The old gentleman took the hat, and requested the attendant to send for a quart of treacle—“none of your golden syrup, but the cheap sort; that’s the stuff for this experiment,” said he, handing over six pence 1 to the waiter. The treacle was brought, and the old gentleman, with a grave and mysterious countenance, poured it into the dandy's hat, while the owner took out his watch to note the time. Giving the hat two or three shakes with Bertram-like adroit ness, the experimenter placed it on the table and stared into it as if watehing the process of solidification. i “Time’s up,” cried the dandy. The old gentleman moved the hat. “"Well, it don’t seem to be hard yet,” said he in a disappointed tone. “I’ve missed it, somehow or other, this time, so I suppose I’ve lost the bet. Waiter, let the gentleman have the cigars—half-a crown’s worth, and here's your money.” “Deuce take your cigars!” roared the masher, “you’ve spoiled my new hat, and you must pay for it.” “That wasn’t in the bargain,” dryly answered the old gentleman, “but I’ll tell vou what I’ll do, “I’ll let you keep the treacle .”—-Pick Me Up.

But very few, if any, of the hundreds of people now arriving here from States know anything about our prairies, and for their benefit this is written. First, they are not mud fiats, as many suppose, but they are prairies, built up on the one side by the deposits of the ebb and flow of old ocean, f !“ , or 0WS how , “ m d " ny °“ “ the llho 0t “ ^ s of Slde , ./ e by " rs "°.

These prairies extend from the water’s edge back to the uplands and up the various streams and are only covered by water at high tide, and even in their wild state grow a nutritious grass which, if not fed down, grows far above the head of an ordinary man. But when old ocean’s salty brine is fenced of! by a dyke is when this land shows its mettle; it laughs at five tons of timothy to the acre; 100 bushels of oats, 600 bushels of potatoes or fifty-six tons of beets or rutabagas is no burden whatever, and year after year it seems to increase in fertility; it has no wear out, drought do not affect it, but it toils on year by year, and as sure as the . ! . . the seedand keepsit clean , armer P u s “ we ® ds he 18 8ure of * harvest - This , land never disappoints the owner, but is as reliable as old ocean itself.— Montesano ( Washington) Vidette.

The wind blows the island about the lake, and it seldom remains twenty-four hours in the same place. A Boyish Fiction About Steel. Says a hardware dealer, in the Kings¬ ton (N. Y.)

He says: “I did not think much of it at first, but when the complaint was repeat¬ it ed almost every day I began to think than was rather strange that no more three or four eggs could be obtained from at least five dozen hens. I thc-ie fore determined to look into the matter, which I finally solved by accident. 1 was standing in the barn one Sunday morning, when a 1 en came cackling from her nest in the manger, aud a few moments later I noticed a big rat come from its hole, which ran across the floor and climbed into Ihe manger. The rat made a bee line for the nest, and I was not a little surprised to see the rodent begin to roll the egg towaid the edge of the manger. The rat finally succeeded, paused for bieuth, and, gathering the eirg between its feet, rolled itse'f around the egg, presenting the appearance of a hedgehog. The rat then deliberately rolled over the edge, and dropped squarely on its back on the floor, 2 leet below, thus saving the egg vhole.
