We are fortunate that we behold this day. The heavens bend benignly over us; the earth blossoms with renewed life: and our hearts beat joyfully to gether with one emotion of filial grati tude and patriotic exultation. Citizens of a great, free and prosperous coun try, we come hither to honor the men, our fathers, who, upon this spot and upon this day, a hundred years ago, struck the first blow in the contest which made that country independent. Here, beneath the hills they trod, by the peaceful river on whose shores they dwell, amidst the fields that they sowed and reaped, proudly recalling their virtue and their valor, we come to tell their story, to try ourselves by their lofty standard to know if we are their worthy children: and, standing rever ently where they stood and fought and died, to swear before God and each other, in the words of him upon whom in Our day the spirit of the revolution ary fathers visibly descended, that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. This ancient town, with its neigh bors who share its glory, has never failed to fitly commemorate this great day of its history. Fifty years ago, while some soldiers of the Concord fight were yet living; 25 years ago, while still a few venerable survivors lingered—with prayer and eloquence nnd song, you renewed the pious vow. But the last living link with the revo lution lias long been broken. Great events and a mightier struggle have absorbed our own generation. Yet. we who stand here today have a sympathy with the men at the old North Bridge, which those who preceded ns here at earlier celebrations could not know. iin mem war was a name ana a tra dition. So swift and vast had been the change, and the development of the country, that the revolutionary clash of arms was already vague and unreal, and Concord and Lexington seemed to them almost as remote and historic as Arbela and Sempach. When they assembled to celebrate this day. they saw a little group of tottering forms, eyes, from which the light was fading, arms nerveless and withered, thin white hairs that lluttered in the wind; they saw a few venerable relics of a vanished age, whose pride was that, before living memory, they had been minute men of American inde pendence. But with us how changed! War is no longer a tradition, half ro mantic and obscure. It has ravaged how many of our homes! It has wrung how many of the hearts before me! North and south, we know the pang. Our common liberty is consecrated bv a common sorrow. We do not count around us a few feeble veterans of the contest; but we are girt with a cloud of witnesses. We are surrounded every where by multitudes in the vigor of their prime. Behold them here today, sharing in these pious and peaceful rites, the honored citizens, legislators, magistrates—yes, the chief magistrate of the republic—whose glory it is that they were minute men of American liberty and union. These men of to day interpret to us with resistless elo quence the men and the times we com memorate. Now, if never before wo understand the revolution. Now’ we know the secret of those old hearts and homes. No royal governor, indeed, sits in yon stately capital; no hostile fleet for many a year has vexed the waters of our coasts; nor is any army but our own ever likely to tread our soil. Not such are our enemies today. They do not come proudly stepping to the drum heat, with bayonets flashing in the morning sun. But wherever party spirit .shall strain the ancient guaran tees of freedom; or bigotry and ignor ance shall lay their fatal hands upon education, or the arrogance of caste shall strike at equal rights, or corrup tion shall poison the very springs of national life, there, minute men of liberty, are your Lexington Green and C oncord Bridge; and as you love your country and your kind, and would have your children rise up and call you blessed, spare not the enemy! Over the hills, out of the earth, down from the clouds, pour in resistless might. Fire from every rock and tree, from door and window, from hearthstone and chamber; hang upon his flank and rear from morn to sunset, and so, through a land blazing with holy in dignation, hurl the hordes of ignor ance and corruption and injustice hack, back, in utter defeat and ruin. George William Curtis. • «■ • Lev® of Country. In these days of rapid national growth, when the citizen of today is supplanted by the youth and franchised emigrant tomorrow; when 1,0011,000 vo ters cast their ballots witli no higher motive than compliance with a custom or the dictates of party henchmen; when one-fourth of our henchmen; have no stronger ties of residence than avarice, whose strength varies with the financial iluctuations of the business world; when year by year our shores receive the restless spirits of other lands who acknowledge no higher au thority than their own caprice; when so many of our youth are growing into manhood ignorant of everything save the means of licensed indulgences and trivolity our liberty affords; when, as partakers of the grandest political in- 1 heritance ever transmitted from one generation to another, we are ail about to forget tlie fearful responsibilities thrust upon us in our acceptance of the blessings of liberty we enjoy, it is time to halt. J--CI us gainer uie fragments that nothing he lost. To tell the next ages what liberty cost.” 1 Let us teach the coming citizen that. ! next to tiie love of uod—implanted at ‘ the mother’s knee and cultivated by daily acts of piely and benevolence— is the love of country, its flag, the mar tyrs who fell in Its defense, and last, but greatest of ail, an abiding faith in its institutions and an undying de votion to its peace, happiness and per petuity. Let the examples of patriots, in deeds of heroism and self sacrifice, lie our theme cf meditation and discus sion. Let our literature gleam with the noble efforts, the grand achievements of those who gave their all that we, their dependents, might taste the sweets of freedom undisturbed. Let us realize that this grandest ner itage of earth’s martyrs came to us, not alone through the business tact and prudent foresight of our sires, but by years of toil and suffering, of cold and hunger, of want and privation, and by the generous sacriflc'e of precious blood; and that, though it be vouch safed to us through blessings of a no ble ancestry, its possession implies no permanence to an unworthy race. It is ours, not alone to enjoy, but to foster and protect: ours to guard from schism, vice and crime; ours to purify, exalt, ennoble; ours to prepare a dwell ing place for the purest, fairest, best of eartti's humanity. I. It. Brown. History of Our Flag. The history of our glorious old flag is of exceeding interest, and brines 1 ack to us a throng of sacred and thrilling associations. The banner of St. Andrew was blue, charged with a white altier or cross, in tile form of 1 the letter X. and was used in Scotland i as early as the 11th century. The ban- I I ' ner of St. George was white, charged with the red cross, and was used in England as early as the first part of the 14th century. By a royal procla mation, dated April 12, 1700, these two crosses were Joined together upon the same banner, forming the ancient na tional flag of England. It was not until Ireland, In 1801. was made a part of Great Britain, that the present national flag of England, so well known as the Union Jack was completed. But it was the ancient flag of England that constituted the basis of our American banner. Various other flags had Indeed been raised at other times by our colonial ancestors. But they were not particularly associated with, or at least, were not incorporated into and made a part of the destined "Stars und Stripes." It was after Washington had taken command of the first army of the rev olution. at Cambridge, that he unfold ed before them the new flag of 13 stripes of alternate red and white, hav ing upon one of its corners the red and white crosses of St. George and St. Andrew, on a Held of blue. And this was the standard which was borne j into the city of Boston when it was ! evacuated by the British troops and was entered by the American army. Uniting, as it did. the flags of Eng land and America, it showed that the j colonists were not yet prepared to sever the tie that bound them to the mother country. By that union of flags, they claimed to be a vital and substantial part of the empire of Great Britain, and demanded the rights and privileges which such a relation im plied. Yet it was by these 1.3 stripes that they made known the union also of the 1.3 colonies, the stripes of white declaring the purity and innocence of their cause, and the stripes of red giv ing forth defiance to cruelty and oppo sition. on the 14th day of June, 1777, It was resolved by congress, "That the flag of the 13 United States be 13 stripes, al ternate red and white, and the union be 13 white stars in the blue field." This resolution was made public Sep tember 3, 1777. and the flag that was first made and used in pursuance of it was that which led the Americans to victory at Saratoga. Here the 13 stars were arranged In a circle, as we some times see them now. in order better to exnress the union of the states. In 1794, there having been two more new states added to the union, it was voted that the alternate stripes, as well as the circling stars, be 15 in number, and the flag, as thus altered and en larged, was the one which was borne through all the contests of the war of 1812. But it was thought that the flag would at length become too large if a new stripe should be added with every freshly admitted state. It was there fore enacted, in 1818, that a perma nent return should be made to the or iginal number of 13 stripes, and the number of stars should henceforth cor respond to the growing number of states. Thus the flag would symbolize the union as it might be at any given pe riod of its history, and also as it was at the very hour of its birth. It was at the same time suggested that these stars, instead of being arranged in a circle, should be formed into a single star—a suggestion which we occasion ally see adopted. In fine, no particular order seems now to be observed with respect to the arrangement of the con stellation. It is enough if only the whole number be there upon that azure field—the blue to be emblematical of perseverance, vigilance and justice, each star to signify the glory of the state it may represent, and the whole to be eloquent forever of a union that must be ‘one and inseparable.” What precious associations cluster around our flag! Not alone have our fathers set up this banner in the name of God over the well won battlefields of the revolution, and over the cities and towns which they rescued from despotic rule; but think where also their descendants have carried it, and raised it in conquest or protection! Through W'hat clouds of dust and smoke has it passed—what storms of shot and shell—what scenes of fire and blood! Net only at Saratoga, at Mon mouth and at Yorktown, but at Lun dy's Lane and New Orleans, at Buena Vista and Chapultepec. It is the same glorous old flag which, inscribed with the dying werds of Lawrence, "Don't give up the ship," w-as hoisted on Lake Erie by Commodore Perry just on the eve of his great naval victory—the same old flag which our great chief tain bore in triumph to the proud city of the Aztecs, and planted upon the heights of her national palace. Brave bands raised it above the eternal re gions of ice in the Arctic seas and have set it up on the summits of the lofty mountains of the distant west. Where has it not gone, the pride of its friends and the terror of its foes? What countries and what seas has it not visited? Where has not the Amer ican citizen been able to stand beneath its guardian folds and defy the world? With what joy and exultation seamen and tourists have gazed upon its star.s and stripes, read in it the history of their nation's glory, received from it the full sense of security, and drawn frum it the inspirations of patriotism! By it, how many have sworn fealty to their country! What bursts of magnificent elo quence it has called forth from Web ster and from Everett! What lyric strains of poetry from Drake and Holmes! How many heroes its folds have covered in death! How many have lived for it, and how many have died for it! How many, living and dying, have said, in their enthusiastic devotion to its honor, like that young wounded sufferer in the streets of Bal timore, "Oh, the flag? the Stars and Stripes!" and, wherever that flag has gone it has been the herald of a better day—it has been the pledge of freedom of justice, of order, of civilization, and of Christianity. Tyrants only have hated it. and the enemies of mankind alone have trampled it to the earth All who sigh for the triumph of truth and righteousness love and salute it. _Bev. A. P. Putnam. Our Centennial Celebration. Extract of a speech delivered by the Hon. Orestes Cleveland, at the closing of the preliminary session of the Cen tennial commission. Fellow Commissioners: When we were welcomed in Independence hall, and again In visiting old Carpenters’ hall, I was impressed with the grand and glorious memories clustering round about Philadelphia, all pointing with solemn significance to the occa sion we are preparing to celebrate. May we all have light and strength to appreciate that occasion as it ap proaches. No such family gathering has ever been known in the world’s history, and wre shall have passed away and been forgotten when the next one recurs. May we be permitted to rise up to the grandeur and importance of the work before us, so that the results and lessons of our labor may bless and last until our descendants shall cele brate in a similar manner the next centennial. The vast and varied and marvelous results of Inventive industry from all the world shall gather here; and it is fitting—-for here, upon this continent, in this new country, under the foster ing care of the wise and beneficent provisions of our patent laws, the in ventive genius of the" age finds her most congenial home. From the in ternational exhibition of 1876 the ed ucation of skilled labor, in tills coun try, at least, Is to take a new depart ure, and we hope the effect will be felt also, in some measure, by every civ ilized nation. Here will be spread out before us the manufactures of Great Britain, the source of all her power. From F'rance will come articles of taste and utility, exquisite in design and perfect in exe cution. From Russia, iron and leather no nation has yet learned to produce. From Berlin and Munich, artistic pro ductions in iron and bronze. From Switzerland, her nnequaled wood carv ings and delicate watch work. From Bohemia shall come the perfection of glass blowing, and musical Instru ments from the Black Forest. From the people of poor old Spain, t° whose daring and public spirit near ly four centuries back we owe the pos sibilities of this hour, shall come the evidence of aforetime greatness, now unhappily faded away for the want of education amongst the mass of her people. From Nineveh and Pompeii the evidences of a buried past. The progress of the applied arts will he shown from all Europe. From China, her curious workmanship, the result of accumulated ingenuity reaching back beyond the time when history be gan. Matchless woodwork from Japan, and from far India her treasures rar^ and wonderful. Turkey and Persia shall bring their gorgeous fabrics to diversify and stimulate our taste. The queen of the east, passing the Suez canal, shall cross the great deep and bow her turbaned head to this young giant of the west, and he shall point her people to the source of his vast powers—the education of all her people. i m wui iiuieu orators iaia nerore us the other night such evidence as he could gather of the lost arts of the ancients, and he demands to know what we have to Compensate us for the i loss. I claim that we have produced I some things, even in this new country, worthy of that orator’s notice. In | stead of tearing open the bosom of mother earth with the root of a tree, that he may feed upon the bounties of nature, as the ancients did, the green covering rolls away with the perfec tion and grace of art itself from the polished moulding board of the Pitts burgh steel plow. Machinery casts abroad the seed and a reaping machine gathers the harvest. Whitney’s cotton gin prepares the liber; Eyall’s positive motion boom takes the place of the old wheel, and a sewing machine lits the fabric for the use of man. What had the ancients, I demand to know, that could compensate them for the want of these American inventions? I do not speak of the American tele graph or steam power, that we have done more than all other nations put together in reaching its possibilities. The Magi of the east never dreamed, in the wildest frenzy of their beautiful imaginations, of the wonders of these! Next year it will become the duty of the general government to make the international exhibition known to oth er countries, to the end that all civil ized people may meet with us in 1876 in friendly competition in the progress of the arts of peace. Be it our duty now to arouse our own people to a sense of its great value. I know that we go out with our hearts full—let our minds be determined and our hands ready for the labor. The Yankees In Battle. For courage and dash there is no parallel in history to this action of the Spanish admiral. He came, as he knew, to absolute destruction. There was one single hope. That was that the Span ish ship Cristobal Colon would steam faster than the American ship Brook lyn. Tile spectacle of two torpedo boat destroyers, paper shells at best, deliberately steaming out in broad day light in the face of the fire of battle ships, can only be described in one way. it was Spanish, and it was ord ered by the Spanish General Blanco. The same may be said of the entire movement. In contrast to the Spanisli fashion was the cool, deliberate Yankee work. The American squadron was without sentiment apparently. The ships went at their Spanish opponents and liter ally tore them to pieces. Admiral Cer vera was taken aboard the Iowa from the Gloucester, which had rescued him, and he was received wih a full admir al’s guard. The crew of the Iowa crowded aft over the turrets, half naked and black with powder, as Cervera stepped over the side bareheaded. The crew cheered vociferously. The admir al submitted to the fortunes of war with a grace that proclaimed him a thoroughbred. The officers of the Spanish ship Viz caya said they simply could not hold their crews at the guns on account of the rapid fire poured upon them. The decks were flooded with water from the fire hose, and the blood from the wounded made this a dark red. Frag ments of bodies floated in this along the gun deck. Every instant the crack of exploding shells told of new havoc. The torpedo boat Ericsson was sent by the flagship to the help of the Iowa in the rescue of the Viscaya's crew. Her men saw a terrible sight. The flames, leaping out from the huge shot holes in the Viscaya’s sides, licked up the decks, sizzling the flesh of the wounded who were lying there shrieking for help. Between the frequent explosions there came awful cries and groans from the men pinned below. This carnage was chiefly due to the rapidity of the Amer ican fire. qaiiu i ere-uuy:-i aiWK From two six-pounders 400 shells were fired in 50 minutes. Up in the tops the marines banged away with one-pounders, too excited to step back to duck as the shells whistled over tern. One gunner of a secondary bat tery under a 12-inch gun was blinded by smoke and saltpetre from the tur ret, and his crew were driven off, but sticking a wet handkerchief over his face, with holes cut for Ills eyes, he stuck to his gun. Finally, as the six-pounders were so close to the eight-inch turret as to make it impossible to stay there with safety, the men were ordered away be fore the big gun was fired, but they re fused to leave. When the three-inch gun was fired, the concussion blew two men of the smaller gun’s crew 10 feet from their guns and threw them to the deck as deaf as posts. Back they went again, however, and w'ere again blown away from their stations. Such bravery and such dogged determina tion under the heavy fire were of fre quent occurrence on all the ships en gaged. Astronomers are already beginning to make plans for observing the total eclipse of the sun which will occur June 8, 11(18.
