They probably agreed more nearly as to religious questions than nny other. John Adams called himself a Unitarian, nnd posterity has agreed to call Thomas Jefferson a Deist, yet it is impossible to ilellnu with nnv OXIintliess mw tlinv illf. fered as to tho attributes of God or tho moral trovernment of tlm titilvnmn Adams certainly wild tho harsher things of Calvinism, but that was probably be cause he lived where Calvinism was still tho rtillmr tiower: and it in nmuxhifr n noto thnt Jefferson, who never sjioko of nnymnns religion when lio could do- cenny nvoiu it, was long and vehement ly denounced as u blasphemer and "French Inlldel," wlillo Adnms was popularly ri'garded as orthodox. Tho notmltir instinct, hownvnr. wm sound j tho mind of Adams wns roveren- iiat to a (tegreo rar greater tiinii that of Jefferson. Somu old writer lnm Hiitiimnil up their alllauco in tho Ilevolutton, for umercnt reasons, by saying that Adams wanted tho existintr lltiortles nf Knirllah. men secured by establishing a greater aim better Jinglatul in America, wlillo doiiorson wauteil a now system, root and branch, to secure tho nbsoluto liberties of human nature. John Atlanta wns born Oct. 10, 171W, and Thomas Jefferson April a, 1743; tho former also lived a fow hours tho later, his ago at death being within throo months of 01, wlillo that of Jefferson was but 83. Jefferson was an extremo blonde, Adams somewhat darker; tho former was tall anil in youth somewhat ungainly, wlillo tho latter was rather lie low tho modluin sito, llnuly kiilt and graceful from his youth. Their friend ship seemed to incroaao till tho pence and they corresponded freely; but in their first service abroad each had on cjqierionco which ovon then indicated that they were soon to lx iioliticnl oppo nents, tho narration of which Is both nmtislng nnd instructive. John Adams, as tho first American minister to England, was, to put It blunt ly, HiiublxKl; Thomas Jefferson, on tho contrary, was received with onjlmsiostlo welcome at tho court of Frntioe. Tho former denounced Georgo III and his ministers, but bostowed high pmiso on tho British government and iiooploT tho latter passed King Louis XVI over with sub IH9iKBFBriEK& '7 v WI'PIK3 v4 ABIOAIL ADAMS. something very llko a sneer, nnd railed at his queen. When Minister Adams, after long delay, mot Georgo HI for tho first tlmo tlio king said abruptly; 'Mr. Adams, I wish yon to understand that I was tho last man to consent to the Independence of America." Adams mitdo an equally brusquo re ply; "I have no feeling or affection save forniy own country." "Aft honest uian'will have no other," rejoined tho king, nnd so they soon be come good friends. When Minister Jofforson was Intro duced to Louis XVI nnd Mario Antoi nette, his queen, thoy overwhelmed him with compliments and good wishes for "our dear nllies, tho Americaus," to which ho reified with only official cour tesy, and vras soon Intensely interested in tho signs of the coming French revo lution. It was plain, oven then, that TJiowas Jefferson would defend thnt rev olution. Thnt Adams wanted a stronger con trol government for tho United States and Jefferson a larger mixisuro of local independence is a fact known to all. Two parties formed, and then camo tho French revolution and roused jwlitical passions to tho boiling point. If tho two had been superior to human nature and intent on remaining friends, their furi ous parti inus would not huvo allowed it. Thoy excliangod only tlio coldest official courtesies, and for thirteen years did not correspond. Tho indignation of Mrs. Abigail Adams over a wrong dono to her son, John Quinoy, was indirectly the causo of 'recon6Uiation. She asked for an explanation; Jefferson wrote and con vinced her that ho was in noway respon sible, and soon tho old coutldenco was restored. Thus harmonized, tho 'two old states men nud patriots dcnxtrJuu hand In hand, as It were, to tho grave. On the evening of July 0, HM, It becamo ovl dent that Jefferson was dying. A Httlo atter inlilnlglit ho revived and remarked, "This is tho Fourth of July." Early in tho forenoon ho became unconscious nnd soon after noon expired within ono hour of exactly fifty years after presenting thu Declaration to congress. About 3 o'clock tho wiiiio day Mr. Adnms wns roused by hearing tho shouts of tho peo ple in a distant grove, celebrating tho day. Ho mentioned tho fnct and added, "Thomas Jefferson still lives." Soon after ho breathed his last. As tho slow mails of those days spread till) HOWS the tionnln worn nvir.niiin liv tho great coincidence and remarked that heaven itself had set tho seal or Its high approval ution their great work by call ing homo on its first Hcmi-centennlal tho author and tho chief suptiorter of tho Declaration of Independence.

It happened onco ujwu u timo, on a cer tain Fourth of July, that thoro were two dogs strolling nlong by tho wayside, and ono of these dogs, who was tho proud possessor of a flno curly, tail, looked with much disdain upon his companion, who utterly lucked that appendage This conduct was noticed by dog number two, who at last gnvoventto tho following sentiments: "Know you, my worthy companion, that whilu you look with disdain upon my deformity, there is a certain adago observed among won that a haughty spirit goes before a fall, and I warn you that today, being tho day known to man kind as tho Fourth of July, there aro cer tain bipods who are lying in wait for your tail. I will seo you later." So say ing, dog number two proceeded on his way rejoicing. MORAL. Tlio boy didn't catch tho dog. A Homo Industry.

Charles Carrol, of Carrolton, was the last survivor of those who signed the Declaration, dying in 1833 at tho age of 03. It is nn interesting fnct that ho hud just bcen'choseri nnd entered congress on tho morning of July 4, 1770. On July 4, 1621, tho fact was mentioned in many addresses that only four of the signers were living. Of theso William Floyd, of New York, died on tho 3d of August fol lowing, Adams and Jefferson on July 4, 1826, and Charles Carrol on Nov. 14, 1833. j RIGHTEOUSLY INDIGNANT. Il Kltlii'r Wonted 11 .Stop Otnr or 11 flood Hen non Why, A limn who boarded a cable car at tho corner of State and Madison streets tho other afternoon had traveled alwut flvo miles south when something ho hadn't thought of before, seemed to occur to him, and ho jmuKd up and called out to the conductor; "Put mooir at tho street just ahead." The conductor nodded and tho passen ger proceeded to explain: "You seo there's an old friend of initio that lives on that" "Yes," said tho conductor, shortly, "here's your street." And ho pulled tho Iwll rojie. "I don't exjiect to stay there long, you know, and I'll want a" "Climb ofT I" "I'm climbing, sir, but I want a stop over." "A what'C" "A BtOIl OVer. I OXliect to rami ilnwn again in about an hour." "Wo don't give stop ovors. Aro you going to get off?" "Certainly; but I'm going to have a stop over or I'll know tho reason" Tlio conductor took him by tho collar, walked him to tho door, assisted him out, and as the car moved on again the passengers had a view of a man jumping up and down in tho middlo of tho track, shaking his fists, crashing his feet to gether and swearing by tho bones of Daniel Boono ho would suo that gol dang cortwratlon for $.10,000 damages before ho was twenty-four hours older.
