The Liberty Bell.
In connection with the coming
of the Liberty Bell to Charleston,
the following history of the bell
as given in The State will be of
great interest at this time:
The bell was cast by Thomas
Lester, Whitechapel, London.
The bell arrived at the end of
August, 1752, and was hung.
Early in September, however, it
was cracked by a stroke of the
cla pper .without any other violence
and thereupon recast by Pass &
Stow, two "ingenious workmen,"
in Philadelphia, and hutg April
17th, 1753. In the recasting the
same metal was used with the
addition of an ounce and a half
of copper to the pound to make
the bell less brittle. The. same
form and lettering were preserved
with the substitution of the names
and place and year of recasting
it now bears. It was recast by
them, the first casting not being
satisfactory, and the same year
again huug in -the State house.
T ".e bell is 12 feet in circum
ference around the lip and 7 feet
6 inches around the crown, it is
three feet following the line of
the bell from the lip to the crown,
and 2 feet 3 inches over the crown.
It is three inches thick in the
thickest part near the lip, and
one and a quarter inches thick in
the thinnest part toward the
crown. The length of the clapper
is 3 feet 2 inches, and the weight
of the whole is'2,080 pounds.
It is lettered in a line encircling
its crown with the sentence:
"Proclaim Liberty Throughout
all the Land Unto all the Inhabi
tants Thereof," Lev. xxv., v., x.
Immediately under the sentence,
also in a line encircling its crown:
-"By Order of the Assembly oi
the Province of Pennsylvania for
the* State House in Philadelphia.
Pass & Stow, Philadelphia.
MDCCLIII."
The model of the bell was one
cast by order of Henry III. in
the early pait of the thirteenth
century in memory of Edward the
Confessor, which was hung in the
clock tower of Westminister, and
was named St. Edward, but gone
rally known as the "great Tom of
Westminister."
The ringers of the bell were
dward Relly, 1753-5; Davi
1759-76 (September 15), The Cham
ringer of the Proclamation of In- Table
dependen-ce. The last ringer of J. H.'3
the bell was Thomas Downmng, Cacd
-1827-36. thanda
The Liberty bell~ has been re-a
moved from the building on four them v
occasions: the first, during the whens
revolution, September, 1777, when mouth
it was taken on a wagon to Allen- whou ar
town, Penn., ad we tknthe pre

from the building from the time Atm
it was first placed there in 1753,A
except for a short time dr'-ing Ladie

On July 8, 1835, the bell tolled ps
for the last time. John Marshall amn
died in Philadelphia on the 6th try
day of July, 1835; his remains ler
were on the day of the anniver- ackno

A JOKE ON BILL ARP.
Says That He is Not the Father of
the flonticello Paper man.
They seem to have a large
juicy joke on Major Charles H.
Smith, the Caitersville, Ga. I
philosopher, so well known as Bill
Arp. He writes to The Constitu- ]
tion about it as follows:
But, Mr. Edito-, I am still per
plexed. My Christmas pleasure i
has been marred somewhat by my <
pity for the poor credulous de- 1
pendent women all ove.r the land
who are dupes of that Monticello 1
man. Every aay brings more
letters from those who have long <
since sent the $25 to my son at <
Monticello, Fla., and get nothing i
back. They say they trusted him
because he was my son. Many I
of them begged or borrowed the
$25. for they could not get the 1
subscribers and so they made up :
a list of names from their ac
quaintances and then they went
to work on the endless chain I
humbug and got other wemen to l
send money and be duped.
Now, Mr. Editor, I beg you to 1
put it in large type and p--int it
in red ink that Joel Smith, of I
Monticello, is no son of mine, noP 1
do 1 know anythirg of him or his i
paper. I saw a late issue in 1
which he boasts of having 40,000
subscribers which I suppose i
means $40,000 that these de
pe adent women have sent him. i
He promised thein $20 a month i
to write three hours a day and ]
some of them sold their jewelery <
and other precious things to raise
the $25. Mr. Editbr, do please.
lend your colums to stop this fraiI
upon our poor southern womren.
And now we see that anothe, end
less chain paper has stavted in
Athens, Ga.; These frruds are
lz.A ing-alg discredit upo, poor wo
men. I enclose a sanple circular.
Please stop it. Kili it. Crush it.
It is worse than tne cherry tree
swindle. Bill Arp.
P. S.,-I w-yl give $10 to find
out who sta ed that lie- that the
Monticello/man was my son. I
have rec -ived at least 50 letters
sayina "Your son at monticello,"
etc. They make me tired. I had
