The last centennial of the events of revolutionary times began this morning. All .yesterday and last night visitors, including the distin guished guests, military and firemen arriv ed by every possible conveyance, and the dozen railroad depots were taxed to their utmost to accomodate the throng which had flocked to the "Cradle of liberty" to bear witness by their presence to their venera tion for the historic document which gave them liberty and freedom, and tnade this government of the people, by the people, for the people. AH the hotels were filled to overflowing by yesterday morning, and every inch of surplus space had been filled with cots and other means of temporary rest. It is safe to say that there at least two hundred thousand visiters from a dis tance, in addition to thousands from the adjacent counties of Pennsjlvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland, and hard ly a state or territory remains unrepresent ed in the three days' festival. The streets today presented a beautiful appearance. In all directions as far as the eye could, reach it was one mass of bunting and decoration. Many of the newspaper offices and public buildings made a lavish display, the decorators hav ing worked early and late to complete their work in time. The monster civic and industrial pageant started from Broad and Dauphin streets shortly after 10 o'clock and marched to Broad and Moore streets, a distance of nearly'five miles, and then countermarch ing to the starting point, passing through one continuous line of observation stands gaily decorated with the flags of all nations.

' a North Broad street was so crowded as to be almost impassable as early as 7 o'clock, and great crowds betook themselves to the streets notwithstanding the efforts of the police to keep the latter clear. Hundreds of carpenters and decorators who had been at work all night had transformed the magnificent thoroughfare into a vast am phitheatre with seats raised high on either side and they were crowded on the side walks and in the streets, and many of them were able to catch only occasional glimp ses of the pageant as it passed. On North Broad street there was scarcely a house, public or private, that was not covered with bunting, or in other ways suitably decorated. The decorators strived for nov el effects, and in this they were highly suc cessful. Some houses were almost cover ed with heroic statues of Columbia, sur rounded by the flags of all nations, while other fronts were completely covered with bunting. The Odd Fellows' Hall exhibited ed a banner announcing that place as "the spot where Franklin drew lightning from the clouds in 1752,"and at other points busts of Washington were mounted in front of houses and profusely decorated. Many of the stands were constructed in two and three tiers and most of the seats therein were crowded as early as 8 o'clock," and in several cases the crush for admittance was so great that a number of women fainted .Nearly all the side 'streets leading into North Broad were roped off and were filled with trucks on which huge tiers of seats were erected and rapidly sold. Many of the hanusomo residences on the street had their window sashes removed and seats mounted in the interior for the accommo dation of friends. The sight before the appearance of the parade was a remark able one, the street being black with hu manity, while high above their heads every house and stand was crowded with multi tudes of men, women and children, the women and children largely predomi nating in the grand stand, the seats and windows. Sixteen telegraph stations had been placed along the route of the parade which were established for the purpose of com municating from one end of the line to the other, and just as a tela gram flashed over the wire announcing that the pageant had started from Broad and Dauphin streets at 10.25 a. m., Gov. Beaver rode by in his carriage and was greeted with a hearty round of applause.- By 11 o'clock the in vited guests, Governors, foreign ministers and others began to pour into their assign ed places. As the different Governors passed up or down Broad street and were recognized they received round after round of cheers, and the ladies and children join ed in the greeting by waving their hand kerchiefs and parasols. Broad street from one end to th other was roped off and 1,200 police officers were on duty to pre serve order. Traffic on all the street cross ings on Broad street was entirely stopped except at intervals of forty minutes, when the ropes were let down and street cars and other vehicles and pedestrians were allowed to cross. On the reviewing stand the constitutional centennial commission was officially represented by Hon. John A. Kasson, president; Hon. Amos R. Little, chairman of the executive committee; Hampton L. Carson, secretary; F. Carroll Brewster, Jr., corresponding secretary, and Assistant Secretary Black, who occupied seats on the front of the stand, the cen tral portion of the stand was reserved for the Governors of the States with their staffs. Among them were Governors Saw yer, of New Hampshire; Biggs, of Delaware; Green, of New Jersey; Larrabee, of Iowa; Gordon, of Georgia; Beaver of Pennsyl vania: Hutrhes. of Arkansas: Lounsbury, ot Connecticut; Buckner, of Kentucky; Thayer, of Nebraska; Pennoyer, of Ore nt l?isliA.'lsv..

On this stand also,' were Senators and representatives of Congress, many of whom were present: commission ers of various States and Territories, 33 of proceeded around the west side of City nan ana on past the grand reviewing stand to Walnut ' street. The Patriotic Order of the Sons of America having on one of their floats " Education is the Basis of Freedom " attracted great attention as did also the Continental Club of Wilming ton, Dal., with their ancient costumes. The street being clear, the line marched widely abreast and was displayed to the best ad vantage. Everybody seemed imbued with the idea that the success of the day rested upon their individual shoulders and acted accordingly. All of the floats were tastefully decorated and all of the agricultural and other ma chinery was in full motion. Notable among the floats were those representing the ad vancement in civilization of the red man. There were exhibited Indians in their paint and" feathers; children from various train ing and educational institutions, all em ployed at the various arts and industries and showing a remarkable degree of skill. uetnuu tnem came an Indian band of four teen pieces and nine platoons of Indian cadet who marched with unerring steps anna tne cheers or the thousands. As they passed the reviewing stand they fairly cap tured its occupants, who cheered them selves hoarse. It was, indeed, the feature of the pageant, as contrasted with the te pees and other illustrations of Indian life in the "far West." To give an idea of the enormous propor tions of the industrial pageant it may be stated that at ten minutes past 2 o'clock only seven out of twenty-three divisions had passed by the reviewing stand, .and by the time the seventh division had passed the southward head of the column had ar rived on their counter march, having trav eled twenty-three squares south of Market street. Several observations stands set tled considerably on account of their heavy loads, but none of them collapsed and the march was made without casualties. In the lower sections of the city, in the vicinity of South and Lombard streets, the police were obliged to make a pretty free use of their clubs in keeping the crowd back of the line, but beyond a broken nose or so, nothing of consequence occurred. The police arrangements, as well as the ambulance service of the Red Cross Socie ty, worked admirably and prevented any serious accident. There were in line 300 floats, each bear ing a representation of some particular branch of industry, twelve thousand men, three thousand horses and 150 bands of music; At the head of the column rode Col. A. London' Swoden, chief marshal, and fifty aids, standard bearers and two trumpeters. Directly behind them and the leading column itself was the U. S. Marine band, followed by a grand banner repre senting Columbia pointing to the past with one hand and with the other to the present; the former being represented by old imple ments and conditions, the latter by those of to-day, indicating progress. The ban ner typified the demonstration and was drawn by six horses. The display from this point was divided into twenty-three divisions, each being under the charge and supervision of an assistant marshal and several aids. THE OLD FOLKS AT riiia Tariff Talk. The Sad Closing Scono ia aa Old Xiaatrel'a Lift. Wilson Mirror.) ' The opera house was crowded, for the famous minstrels wero giving a benefit per formance. They had concluded the sweet refrain of the "Swanee River." The tu mult of applause was hushed by the ap pearance of a ragged old wreck crowding to the front. Lifting his banjo as a sign of brotherhood, ho cried with a choking voice: ; "Boys, sing that song once more, once more for a poor old minstrel's sake. It brings back the lost and dead, my old home rises before me, where I was once good and happy all the day. I learned the song there of my mother. The vision of her smiling face, praising her boy, comes back with the ringing notes of the banjo, and the memories of long ago. I wander ed away to play and sing for the world. It listened, and applauded. I was flattered, feasted, intoxicated with fame and the whirl of pleasures. But I wrecked it all. Now, old and broken in heart and strength, I am left with but one friend my banjo. No one listens to it, for the world has found new favorites, and the old minstrel is turned away. She who first praised me died while I was playing for the world. Died without seeing me for years. The song she taught her boy led him from her side. He left her for the world. The world has forsaken him as he did her. Boys, sing my mother's song again, and let my old heart thrill with a better life onee more." The house signaled its assent. The old minstrel sat down in the front row. When the solo reached the concluding lines of the second stanza, the -singers eyes turned pityingly; upon the wanderer, and with voice trembling with emotion came the words: I All op and down this world I wandered, When I wm yoann ; Oh. many were the day I o,iiandcred, Jinny were the songs 1 uug." Germany's Military Service. It is the habit, both in this countrj- and in - Enrrland. to consider the comnulsorv military service that prevails in Germany as a necessary but unmitigated evil. Such an opinion seems to me to show a very in adequate appreciation of what military service does for the men who undergo it. I have little hesitation in saying that uni versal military training is one of the most desirable rejnilations that can be imafrin- ed. A very slight acquaintance with the German peasant before his three years with the colors and afterwards, will prove to an unprejudicial mind that the man has improved wonderfully. From the dull, clumsy clodhopper has been brought forth an active, skillful and alert man, with the knowledge how best to use his physical ) powers, with habits of punctuality and . order which he formerly had not the small- ' est inkling, and with a sense of responsi bility and self respect far beyond the range of vision of, the country bumpkin. He is a better man physically, mentally and morally than he ever was before, and the time spent in the army, instead of being wasted, did more for his character than any other part of his education. Germany pays a heavy price for her array, but even should a war never again break out. it would bo a sad day for that land when military service should be abandoned. Artificial Be ana for Bottoa to Baka. The stranger sat bending forward, the tears coursing down the furrows of care, his fingers unconsciously caressing the strings of his battered banjo. All the sum mer of his life came back to his heart again. Mother, home, love, and all his boyhood dreams. The chorus began, and the shriveled fingers sought the chords with a strange, weird harmony unheard before, the strains floated along the tide of song. The time worn instrument seemed to catch its master s spirit, and high above the orchestra accompaniment rang the soul like cords from its quivering strings. When the interlude came the minstrel leaned over his banjo with all the fondness of a mother over her babe. Not a sound from either was heard. The solo rose again, and the almost supernatural har monies drifted with it. But he bowed like a mourner over the dead. Every heart in the audience was touched, and tears of sympathy were brushed away by many a jeweled hand. The singers eyes were moist, and with plaintive sadness the last lines were sung: ' When flmll I hear the beea a bunuuiujr All 'round the combt When ahull I hear the Imnjn tntmming Down in my guod old hoineP LouUvilW Coorier-Joamal. Senator Colquitt, in an address deliver ed before a Farmers' Association a short time since, made tin earnest protest in be half of the great agricultural community against the injury done to tho masses by class legislation, and he was particular to point out the effect of the tariff in the prosperity of the farmer. " I do not un derstand," be said, " why the Government should treat the eotton-fninner as a favor ed child of fortune and tne cotton-planter as an abandoned orphan." He further told his hearers that if they were permitted to sell in the dearest market and to buy in the cheapest, the value ot their crops would be enhanced 33 per cent. It is encouraging to bear such words as these from a Senator of Georgia to the farmers of the South. There has been a systematic attempt to commit the people of the South to tho continuation of the -wicked and abominable system of tariff taxation. Managers of great corporations, speculators in iniueral lands, organizers of improvement companies, whose btoclc is paid for at ten cents on the dollar, to be sold at a premium to gullible fortune hunters, have established their presses in many localities of the South; they have built paper cities and declared largo divi dends, and now they ask the farmers to fall down and worship them, under the false pretense that they were providing a home market. ' 1 he farmer is interested in seeing cities grow and manufacturing interests flourish only when these cities pay him what be can get elsewhere for his products, and when these mills and factories will sell him supplies at rates as low as they can be bought elsewhere But when these furnaces, these mills, these factories and mines need protection: that is, when they need a law which com pels tho farmer to buy of them at their own prices, these institutions are not blessing: they are a curse. The farmer, with every other citizen, is concerned about cheap iron. He buys it in one shape aud another in large quanti ties. He uses it about the house, the barn, the field. It is in his plow, in his wagon, in his gin. It i used when he plants, when he cultivates, when he picks and gins and bales his cotton. Iron u at the very base of his prosperity. Cheap iron is a boon inestimable. The first form of all his farm ing implements and most of his household utensils is "pig-iron. it costs 9u or ton to make pier iron in England. It costs fJ to make it in the South; it costs fror$lG to $20 to make it in Pennsylvania. The makers of iron are protected by a duty on tnc-iron te, and as for the million soldiers which wero said to guard it nieht and day, they are myths likewise. The alleged Great Wall is a favorite excursion for Europeans visiting Pekin. and such a Question as whether it exists at all or not should be an easy ono to settle definitely. "Ike 011 Oakta Baekat." The popular soncr of "The Old Oaken Bucket" is said to hare had its oririn under the following circumstances, which gives it an additional interest: Rome years ago, when Wool worth, the printer, and several others, 01d New Yorkers,1 were brother typo in a printing-office, which was situated at the corner of Ches nnt and Chambers streets, there were few places in the city of New York where one con 11 enjoy the Injury of a really good drink." Among the few places most worthy of patronage was an establishment kept by Mallory, in r rankhn street, or about the'same spot where St. John's Hall re cently stood. Woolworth, in company with several particular friends, had drop ped in at this place one afternoon for tho . , ... , purpose or raxing some "oranay ana wa ter," which MaJlorv was famous for keep ing. The liquor was super-excellent, and Woodworth seemed inspirted by it, for. after taking a draught, he laid his glass upon the table anc, smacking his lips, de clared that Mallory's ea de rie was snpe nor to any be had ever tasted.

' sets: of Jamestown (Pa.) Tribune. Mr. Charles B. Fink, senior editor of the Latrope Advance, who is visiting in the Last, recently went through a factory in New Jersey, where the celebrated "Boston baked bean71 is made. He bad always be lieved that beans grew on a vine, but was disabused of that idea. The beans were made -of an edible mixture, which was shoveled into machines, worked by girls and came. out in bean like pellets. The proprietor stated that he had been engaged in the manufacture of baked beans over three years aud" has a standing reward of $1,000 to any one detecting it from the regular article, and a thorough bean-eater cannot tell the difference, the factory turns out 24,000 quart cans a day in the busy season, and the greater part of the product is shipped to Boston, whence it is distributed ovfer the country. 'Bailroad Revival. The last chorus followed. The hoary head of the minstrel was lifted, and his face shone with the light of a new dawn ing. His voice joined with a peculiar blending, perfect in harmony, yet keeping with his banjo high above the singers, ringing, like a rich harp-string long over strained.. The memory of better days, the waywardness, sorrow, remorse, hope and despair of all his wasted life seemed peut up m those marvelous tones. The chorus closed, and his head sank down, the long white locks shrouding tho bnnjo. The manager came before the curtain, and said :; " The minstrels give one half the benefit proceeds to the wandering brother." The house approved with loud demon strations. A collection started in the gal leries, and swept over tho hall like a gold en shower. The' two sums were heaped together on the stage. Such a contribu tion never graced the footlights before. Again tho audience broke forth in round after round of hearty good cheer. But the banjo was still hushed under the shroud of snow white hair, and no words of thanks or token of gratitude came from the silent figure toward which all eyes were turned. They called him to the stage, and the manager went to escort him there. He laid his hand on the bowed head; the soul of the old minstrel had wandered away once more. He was dead. His heart had sung that last song on the borders of the spirit land. Sung it as the bird sings when it escapes the prison bars which makes life 44 sad and dreary," and flies far away from tho scenes where "the heart never grows weary with longing." Yes, on tho precious tides of that tender est and sweetest of all heart songs, and whose notes of endearment awoke respon sive ehords in every human bosom, the spirit of the old minstrel revisited the hal lowed scenes of haypy childhood, heard again the voices that once made music for him, and then his soul went forth to meet the old folks who had long been gone from the old home on the Swanee River. Yes, the old minstrel, so long weary with wan dering, and so long thirsty with longings, had met in everlasting reunion, and was then a child with the old folks at home. uy $4.4-per ton. In other words, the tariff forbids the farmer to buy iron in England at $8; it tines him $7.7 for every ton pur chased abroad. This "flue" the domestic producers add to their home price, and so either way it is a tax on the farmer. When the fanner buys iron in any shape he pays this tax to the iron-maker. About 0,500,000 tons will be made in America this year, and the aggregate tax payed by con sumers of this article amounts to $4:J,US0, 000. Here is a bonus paid by the people to the makers of iron. It is as much a gift to a c!as and a tax on the masses as if Congress should next winter provide for the payment to the cotton-planter of $072 a bale for every bale of cotton raised. The farmer has no such bonus, and ho gets no such compensation. His cotton does not bring him any more because of the tax. The price of cottons tixod in Liverpool, and there the tariff does not protect him. It dots not give him the home market, for the American spinner gives the planter the Liverpool price less the cost of transportation. hen newspapers and politicians talk to farmers about the homy market, they are trying to get their votes under false pretenses, fo test the sincerity of these men, ak them if they would favor a bonus from the Govemmeut of $t.7 a bale for every bale of cotton raised. lhe farmers havo just as much right to this as the furnace owners have to a tax of $o72 on pig-iron. Judge Kelley, of Penn sylvama, is preaching protection to the bouth. Is it possible to get him to intro duue in the House next winter a bill pro- iding, an export bounty of $U.?2 a bale on cotton, and a similar bounty on wheat! V e think not. A Scotch tradesman, who had amassed, as he believed. 4,000, was surprised by his old clerk with a balance sheet showing his fortune to be 6.000. It cannot be," said the principal; eoant again," and he aeain declared the balance to be 6,000. The master counted himself, and he also made the surplus 0,000. Time after time he cast up the columns it was still a C and not a 4, that awarded his labors. So the old merchant, on the strength of his good fortune, modernized his house and put money in the hands of the carpenter, the painter and the upholsterer. Still how ever he had a lurking doubt of the exist ence of the extra 2,000, so one winter night he set down to give the columns one count more. At the close of the ta-k be jumped as if he had been galvanized, and rushed through the streets in a shower of rain to the house of the clerk..

It is now claimed that the plan of build ing the railway from Southport (formerly Smithville) to Bristol, Tenn., is not a fail ure, as it certainly appeared to be some months ago. The rumor bas gained cur rency in the Southport section that capital ists connected with the project will soon be there to put things in motion. How much truth there is in these statements cannot now be said. Last winter when the corps of surveyors began to run the line from Southport through Brunswick county great things were expected of South Atlantic and Northwestern, as the road was known.

A correspondent of the English Mechan ic says: Let all of " ours know the follow ing remedy: My wife has suffered oc casionally with acute rheumatism in her feet, with painful swelling, completely tak ing her off her feet for many days at a time. The following remedy was recently recommended and tried, and took away the agonizing pain in less than fifteen minutes, and she can now walk nrmiy, and in a couple of days she will be able to button her boots, and walk without a stick or crutch. One quart of milk, quite hot,, into which stir one ounce of alum; this makes curds and whey. Bathe the part affected until too cold. In the mean time keep the curds hot, and after bathing, put them, on as a poultice, wrap in flannel, and go to sleep (you can.)

Larrieu has lived ror several- years under what would have been the shadow of the great wail naa inure been one; he has studied the writings of recent writers especially Abbe Hue who have crossed the line of the alleged wall in various places; he has likewise studied the Chinese history of the subject, and his conclusions are as follows: (1) The term " Great Wall" is at the bot tom of all the misunderstanding, and it comes from the Chinese expression, " the wall of the ten thousaud li;" (2) as de scribed by Martini and other writers who have copied him, this wall does not and never did exist; (3) a Chinese emperor un doubtedly did couceive the idea of a great wall from the Gulf of Liao-Long on the east to Kan-bu on the west, and this, though never realized, had a beginning (4) all along the proposed line of the wall square towers of earth, or of earth faced with brick, were constructed at eonsid erable distances from each other, but these were never joined together by any wall as was ooginaiiy intended.

A bona fide Judge is a bigger man there than in any other part of North Carolina. And that feeling of respect pervades all classes of the community. We remember an illustration. Somewhere in the forties Judge Pearson rode the Edenton circuit and Gorham was landlord of Uornablew s tavern, where the Bayview now stands. Gorham had the phrenological organs of fussiness. approbativeness and self-esteem large. He bad been expecting the Judge during the day on Saturday from Gates court and had prepared himself for his re ception by putting on his best clothes and steadying bis nerves with an extra touch of red eye. Toward evening, a stranger, with an easy, nonchalant air, poorly dress ed, walked in, soon approached the bar. where Gorham was standing and called for a drink. Gorham enquired if he would have the best, to which the stranger nod ded affirmatively. Having finished his drink' Gorham slapped him familiarly say ing: Old fellow! that's good enough for the Judge ain't itt" Just then a lawyer came in and approaching him addressed Jndge Pearson. If a chosen thunderbolt had, struck Gorham,. he could not have been more alarmed, dumbfounded, mortifi ed, frightened. It was some minutes be fore he could speak, when be yelled for his servants "Biff Loot, Black Sam, Lit tle Jack come come,' run, the Judge is come!" Gorham could never recover denies along the route there are walls, but I eqoalibrium.

Hence the only part of scheme of the Great all carried eut was the eon struction of these scattered towers; the rest never went beyond the brain that con ceived it; it was never more than a fancy, and it is now a myth.'
