This was the "Jubilee" and was the most
elaborate of all celebrations up to that time.
Three of the sIgners of the declaration were
still living , although the weakness of old
ago prevented thorn from taking an active
part In the festIvities. Th struggle of
the South AmerIcan countrIes to throw oft
the yoke of Spain , and the popular sympathy
with Greece helped to Inspire the American
people. Bands , bell , , cannon and proces-
Blons abounded , and tIne oration held a conspicuous -
spicuous part. Josiah Quincy was the orator -

Itoh , New 'York had not yet made so much
of the oration as had some of the other
cities , but did not lack in enthusiasm. A
long ProcessIon marched from the Battery
to Washington square , and was there review -
view by D\ViLt Clinton , thio governor of
the state. Ten thousand people were In the
assembly and aided in disposing of the "ox
toast" which had been provided. The enthusiasm -
thusiasm throughout the hand was intense.

Marvelous were the changes which the
fifty years had witnessed since the jubilee ,
but they were no greater tItan the changes
in the method o celebrating the great event
In American history. Noise of bells aud
cannon was still retained , to the inex-
preesibic delight of young America , but
science , art and literature all received their
due share of attention. 'Upon the very spot

Jefferson , the nation builder , the statesman -
man , theorist nail philosopher , is well known
to his countrymen ; in fact , to all the world.
The Jefferson of every.day life is a loss
familiar but no less interesting figure. No
000 of Jefferson's many biographers has sue-
ceeded in giving an adequate presentation
of his personality , but from contemporary
descriptions , old letters and family records
it is possibho to get a very fair and accurate
mental picture of Jefferson's human side ,
fr ; , like all heroes , ho was intensely human.
Ia point of stature Jefferson was Ia the
Washington and Lincoln class , six feet two
and a half inches in height , not as well
built as Washington , but resembling in hues
of certain disproportion thin great lentuckIan
rather than the almost hyslcaIiy perfect
Virginian. lie was a good horsomanbut in
this respect below \Vashilngton standard ,
as , indeed , what man of that era was not ?
Like WisliIng&on , too , Jefferson possesseh
prodigious strength , lie was the strongest
man in his county , and could lIft thin weight
of 1,000 pounds with case. Ills great
strength was an inhicriL'tnco from hiis father ,
who is described as having been "a wonder
of physical force. " Unhiko Lincoln , not a
trace of awkwardness could be discovered in
Jelforson. The widely different associations
of the two men easily account for the fact.
