that no Nation had ever become great,

to the memory of the late Wm. McKin

War. both of the - brave jneo of the
Sunny South who fought; in the .Con

and had entered into a written contract
to appear, but he failed, for reasons un

be taken to siexe his balloon and compel
him to. pay a forfeit. Tice Sisters, the
youthful cakewalkers, performed be
Ufully and fairly captivated the people
with their graceful style of performing.
Hunt's Dog St Monkey Show Was also
a first-class attraction, and the dogs
and monkeys being exceptionally well
trained succeeded In winning the neafts
of all who witnessed their shrewd acts.
Vaughn's Colored Troubadour were all
possessed of exceptionally good voices
and rendered number of sentimental
and" -Comical jnegro ballads, eliciting
hearty and spontaneous applause1 " at

the action. ' -:"." r---i---v
The street sports all went off. without
accident or mishap which was exceed

The Fireworks. ,
One of the most beautiful: and awe
Insplring' sights that It ha been the
pleasure of a great majority of Salem
people and - its more than 4000 visitors
to behold, occurred on the Willamette
river, last night, when the complete set
of Imported fireworks was displayed
from-the opposite shore. The bank of
the river, which has a gradual and
natural slope, affording- everybody a
cfear and. , unobstructed view, was
crowded for a distance of several
blocks to witness the grand display.
The fireworks committee went to a
considerable expense and trouble to se
cure an unprecedented display, and to
say that, their efforts were, successful
wouia Der tne least mat couia oe iu.
And, be It said to the credit of the
manufacturers, there were less percen
tage of failures or "Assies' In the disy
play than are usually experienced with
such an extensive and complete one.
At the shootmg of every rocket., many
of which, by the way, traveled through
space for a distance of nearly one-half
mile before exploding, expression such
as. "Oh! Oh!!." "Isnt It splendid!,'
"Isn't that magnificent!." etc... could-be
heard Upon every side, as the, rockets
exploded In midair, sending, their my
riads of -varl-colored lights, and "num
erous pyrotechnlcal effects in brilliant
showers, lighting up the darkness so
that faces were- recognizable all afound
and casting a most inspiring Teflectioh
on the placid water of the river.. There
were set pieces, too, which were mar
vels of beauty. and wonder, and elicit
ed many expressions of appreciation,
admiration and , approval. Much im
press! veness was added , to the scene ar
the steamer Pomona,, having on board
guests of 'honor, HoriV Wm. M. Colvig.
and the Goddess of Liberty, steamea
from her moorings at the foot of Staw
street, reviewing the vast throng on Tt
shore, amid . the beautiful strains of
music rendered by the Chemawa Indian
Band, on board the vessel, intermingled
with the blowing f the .steamer's whis
tle and the ringfng cheers from ashore.
The scene was such an one as wm
not soon be forgotten by, the thousandsJ
of those who were fortunate enough to
witness !!, - The steamer was given the
committee free of expense by the Ore-
gonCtty Transportation Company, tor
this buroose. and the liberal action of
Captain Graham and Captain 8 pong is
dulr appreciated by the memoers or tne
committee and the Salem public gener
ally. . .-. J - -i

AMERICA'S ENORMOUS COAt.

The very first feature that attracts

thtt normoua difference in the total
n : - m uA Aaf A.M. A mrtfm And
preat Britain, namely 222,500 and .-
000 square roues respectively, ana ww
the fact that:nearly all of the British
ones have been , worked for so very
much longer a period. The result of
this is that most of the- thick seams
snd those nearest the surface have
been worked out: , and while T 10-foot
and 12-fot, seams are not unknown,
nevertheless "they are exceptional, and
seams as small, as 12 and i Inches are
being worked. In America, on the
other hand, the coal fields are practi
cally untouched. At present only the
thick nd upper seams are being work
ed, and these to a large extent with
perhaps little thought for future gen
erations of mining engineers. Another
very great difference between the coal
fields of the two countries is . that In
Great Brltala faults, are frequent and
great, and the coal Is found in various
parts at almost all conceivable angles.
In the Lancashire coal eld, of exam
ple, the seams dip 17 to 23 per rent.. In
America, on the other hand, I-did hot

V . REDEEMER
Lonjf years before the civil war
-A war that rent this land in twaln-i-
A fratricidal wir; o fierce
That fathtra fought airainst their sons.
And brothers faced their brothers
Upon the gory battlefield;
One to uphold aF-cursed law
That gave a man the right and, power
To chain his feilowman. and one
To set him " f ree-ltefore .that time
Thete did exist a blot, upon .
The nation's fame. A man was Judged
Not by his merits or his acts.
But by the color of his skin.
If that were black, he thus became
A vassal to the white man's greed
And love and gold. No blacker nh.iino
Did ever stain the honored name
Of an American. .
. ' Pa.nt2. v .;
A wealthy gentleman one morn
A perfect stranirer by the Way '
Was strolling-through a thriving town
And taking in- the sights, when io!
Jfie saw before rdm, on the square, ...
A motley crowd. Upon a block
He saw a pretty quadroon girl.
With rosy cheek, and skin so clear
That, plainly told good health was thfro
No common gjrl, fgr she was bright,
Intelligent; refined and 'pure.
Big tears cable-rolling down her chocks
As she did ring her hands.' She plead
That she be left' at home to live
With -mother, who was weak and old.
The bids went up; her price roue .high
And higher. The wealthy stranr .
Could no longer bear the slght, ,
So raised his voice and shouted loud
A sum that no one could out-bid. "
The auctioneer then said, "ihe'a ytmrij;
Take her away." '. V- ".-

The thankful girl '
Then. grasped the stranger's hand nnJ
.cried: ' k .: ' .
"And I am yours; O, treat me kind
And I a faithful-slave' will be!" ;
"My. poor dear -child," the man repll l,
"I purchased you to set you free
And not to enslave you-more to live
And die wherever you may- choose.'
She straightway clapped her hands and
said. - . ':-
"Then God be praised for I arn free
Free to live with my old mother
To care for her till life's short day
Shall end. Then I shall go whh you.
Kind sir, and spend my strength and
- -life ; ,. '
In your employ But life's too short
To pay you all I. owe." "Nay, nay.
That shall not be," the man repiK J,
"I bid you wel.com to my home;
I" see that you for nothing want;
That being freo'a chance youH have
To hitch your chariot to a star
And stand before the world a nl.ive ,
Redeemed and glorified. "
