In 1877 the General Court Gave Orders For
the Observance of the Day—Four Hogsheads of Free Punch In 1S10—Man and
Pear Fight on tho Common.
Tho files of old eastern newspapers
contain descriptions of striking celebrations and queer events-which have occurred on the natal day of the nation. The
following, taken from the yellow and
musty files, were reproduced in the Boston Globe, in tho language of those who
■witnessed tho scenes and incidents:
July 4, 1777, "was noticed hy every
mark of joy. In the forenoon the Rev.
Dr. Gordon of Bosbury, at the desire
of the assembly) sitting here, preached
an excellent discourse from I Kings,
xii, 15, after "which the general court,
having given previous orders for making
every preparation for drinking success to
the 13 United States, sent an invitation
to General Heath and. the officers of the
continental army and navy, and many
other gentlemen. While "The Congress"
and other toasts were drunk the guns on
Fort Hill, Castle Island, Hull and the
vessels of war in the harbor fired a grand
salute.
July 4, 1795, there -was great excitement in Boston. The Jay treaty of amity,
commerce and navigation between the
United States and Great Britain had
just been concluded. The people of Boston believed that our rights would be
surrendered if the treaty "were ratified
Petitions for mass meetings to denounce
the action of Mr. Jay "were being circulated on tho streets during the celebration.
July 4, 1801, was a time particularly
calculated to excite the most intense
patriotic memories and emotions. The
informal but vigorous war "with "France
had scarcely ceased. The young republic's merchant marine "was between the
fires of what has been of late termed
'jPrenek "spoliation," and British aggression and confiscation of ships and
imprisonment of seamen. Then, too, the
Mediterranean pirates "were to be attended to, and the preparation of a fleet
for the purpose of bringing the "Bar-
bary rovers" to task occupied attention.
All the bells "were rung, flags displayed, salutes fired by the artillery, by the
Constitution and Boston frigates, "Fort
Independence and by the "French cor-
vet Berceau, "which last "was fancifully
decorated with colors.
The cadets, under Colonel "Welles, as
usual, did the escort duties of the day.
The fusiliers, under Captain Brazer,
paraded, performed a variety of evolutions and firings "with intelligence and
exactness and dined together at Dorchester.
July 4, 1S06, there "was a man and
hear fight en the Common. The reporters of the day failed to record the number of rounds or the -winner,
July 4,1810, the town furnished four
hogsheads of punch, free to all.
July 4, 1S22, from dawn till nearly
midnight was a jubilee, and the entire
population of the city, "clad in their
best attire," were in the streets or on
tlie Gommoii, visiting the various decorated halls or "witnessing the parade of
military corps of horse and foot, and
numerous precessions, and no scene of
■"irnmlt or indecorum was anywhere to
be seen.
His excellency the governor held the
usual levee in the senate chamber.
Among those who called to pay their
respects -were the consul of the king of
"France, John Jacob Astor of New York,
Chief Justice Parker, Eev. President
Kirkland of Harvard university, the Society of Cincinnati in a body (about 20
Of the remnant of the Massachusetts line
of the "Revolutionary army "were present
on the occasion), Brigadier General Sullivan and the officers of the Third brigade, "First division (the officers were in
very neat and mostly in new and rich
uniforms and were upward of 100 in
number), members of the senate anji
house, mayor, aldermen, clergymen and
the officials of the Mechanic Charitable
society.
The Society of the Cincinnati held
their annual meeting at the Exchange
Coffee house.^nd 24 gray haired veterans of the EaRlution and their sons sat
•down to the dinner. The president of
the society read a letter from the Marquis Lafayette, and a toast was drunk
to the health of the "Frenchman.
July 4, 1S26, tho fiftieth anniversary,
The Centinel appeared in mourning and
printed this introductory note:
"An extraordinary occurrence makes
it a duty to give our columns the respectful garb of mourning, although
they are devoted to the records of the
most festive celebration of our country's
independence since the interesting era of
1776. "Near the close of the celebration
today the venerable John Adams, the
senior surviving signer of the immortal
Declaration, and one of the committee
which reported it, amid the aspirations
pf millions in grateful memorial of his.
services and thanksgiving for the long
QOutinuance of his patriarcal life, "was
translated from this to a better "world
For many, many years he had been tho
surviving father of his country, and having on the decease of his great predecessor clothed our journal in weeds of
mourning no consideration can induce
us to omit the same prompt and respectful honors to the memory of his early
associate and constant friend "
Meanwhile, bnt mikiiown in Jgoston
on the day of the celebration, Thomas
Jefferson, another ex-president of the
United States and another signer of the
Declaration of Independence, had died
at Monticello. The fact was not published in the newspapers in Boston until
July 12.
July 4, 1831, died another ex-president of the United States, James Monroe. His death, however, did not interfere with the celebration, for it was not
known in Boston until the arrival of the
steamboat mail at noon on July 6.
July 4, 1838, last feast paid for "by
the state.
FOURTH   IN  AUSTRALIA.
How Independence Day Is Observed In the
Antipodes.
There are two days in the year, outside the regular holidays, which Australians recognize as anniversaries to be
honored These are St. Patrick's day
and the American Declaration of Independence, and every Englishman or Scot*
who would havvi to look in an almanac
to find out on what day St. George's or
St. Andrew's clay falls, knows at once
what the 17th cf March and the "Fourth
of July mean to some of their fellow
colonists.
On the "Fourth of July the stars and
stripes wave side by side with the Australian flag from the town halls of Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane,
Auckland and other Australian cities,
while every one who can anyhow manage to raise an American flag for the occasion will hoist it. The tram cars running from Sydney to Botany, and from
other cities to wherever the celebration
is to be held, will be decorated much as
they are in New York, and speeches will
be made in honor of "Washington, *Frank-
lin.Hamilton, Jefferson, and other Americans who did so much to secure for
British colonists all over the world the
freedom they now enjoy.
The omnibus horses will carry the
stars and stripes and the union jack on
their heads, and the people will crowd
to Botany and other places of resort,
some to hear the speeches and others to
enjoy themselves in other and perhaps,
more congenial ways, for it is not every
pne who cares to listen to, a long speech,
jiowever interesting it may be. The
bands will play the "Star Spangled
Banner," "Hail, Columbia," "Home,
Sweet Home," "Away Down Upon the
Swanee River," "Marching Through
Georgia" and "YankeeDoodle,"sothat
an American might, for the time, almost fancy himself in his own land.—»

THE NOISY CANNON  CRACKER,   -
American Article Makes More Sound Than
Its Chinese Prototype.
Were you ever in a fireworks factory?
Well, let rue tell you how the noisy cannon cracker is made. First, brown pasteboard is cut up in pieces about 5 by 12
inches. These are covered With paste
and deftly rolled around a stick by a
boy aud then slipped off, and we have
the cases—i. e., cylinders some five
inches long and a little more than half
an inch iu diameter. Strands of cotton
are covered -with powder, which is thoroughly rubbed in, and cut in lengths of
about three inches. These are the quick
matches. Around one end of eackmateh
is rolled a covering of paper. This end
is placed in a hole in a short solid metal
cylinder on a workman's bench. Over
the black end of the match as it stands
upright ho puts one of the cases, into
which he pours a small quantity of dry
New Jersey clay and pounds it down
with a long wooden rammer, thus making a plug in one end of the pasteboard
case, in the center of which is the match,
with its covered end protruding. Now
the case goes to- another workman, who
pours in a charge of powder, and thence
to a boy, who puts some glue around
the inside of the open end of the case
and inserts a little wooden plug, thus
loosely cordhiing the powder in the middle of the pasteboard tube. All that remains to be done is to paste a colored
printed cover on the case and the cannon
cracker is completed and ready to be
boxed up.—Boston Herald.
cheer and warn lis. Each year the day
should be made a national communion
at which should assemble all dwellers
within our borders, no matter what
their creed or race, provided only they
love this land of freedom and recognize
this government of citizenship. Let the
children serve the communion. Thus
shall be assured the continuance of the
festival Thus shall they who serve grow
up to honor and understand the communion.—New York Independent.
The Fourth In Other Lands.
While American citizens throughout
the United States are celebrating the
anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in the usual time honored
manner it may be interesting to note
that the rejoicings are not confined to
this country, bnt are going on wherever
Americans are to be found, all over the
world, and that in many places the people of other countries join heartily in
commemorating the "glorious "Fourth."
This is especially the case in Australia,
where the "Fourth of July has almost attained to the dignity of a public holiday.—New York Evening Post.
Last June Dick Crawford brought his
twelve months old child, suffering
from infantile diarrhoea, to me. It
had been vveanedat four months old and
had always been sickly. I gave it the
usual treatment in such cases but without, benefit. The child kept growing
thinner uutil it weighed but little more
than when born, or perhaps ten pounds
I then started the father to giving-
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and - Di
arrhoea Remedy. Before one bottle of
the 2o cent size had been used a marked
improvement was seen and its continued use cured the child. Its weakness
and puny constitution disappeared, and
its father and myself believe the child's
life was saved by this remedy. J. T.

Let the "Eagle Scream!
This is the season of the year when
the American eagle, glorious bird of
freedom, alighting on the topmost summit of the Rooky mountains, spreads its
-wings until one dips in the Atlantic
ocean and the other is laved in the waters of the Golden Gate. Then the eagle
—may he live forever!—lets out a
scream that echoes from Portland, Me.,
to New Orleans and back again to Portland, Or. This is the season of the year
when a nation burns incense and gunpowder to the memories of its forefa-
thers and orators spring up at every
crossroad to extol the virtues of Washington, Adams, Jefferson and their be-
wigged associates who dulled the horn
of the British unicorn and blunted the
teeth of the lion. Now the small boy, in
excess of patriotic frenzy, gives his fingers as free will offerings on the altar
of independence, and the usually sober-
and thrifty citizen spends his last centj
on firecrackers and fireworks, which hp
touches off to honor the shades of th§
founders of this pountry, land of the
free, home of the brava—New. York
