will attract the attention of the United
States congress, widely advertise t'si?
part ol the couutry, allay political
and Bectional animosities, and stirj;h<
emotions of a common patriotism al
over this broad land.
This is the second time in the history
of our couutry that any gouera
attempt has been made to commemorate
the battle of (Jowpena.
In l#oU the little mouumaut tha

ereoted by the Washington Light Infantry,
an historic military cotnpauj
/of Charleston, commanded at tha
/time by Capt L. M. Hatch, who alter

Major Hatch died only a ew year
ago, at his home on the French Broad

battle ground at C'owpena. There tb
monument was creeled uuder thei
auspices in the presence of a va=
concourss of people, with simple h i
imposing ceremouus. Rev. John C
.Landrum had previously been scicc
ed as tho orator of the day, ou aec;>u:i
of his having beeu recommended t
the company as being more thorougt
ly conversant with the history of tii
country than any one else could b
found. We havo hoar 1 the spaech <
Mr. Landruia on thiaocjuaion compi
moated as one replete with inform,
tion, patho3. and power. There is goo
authority for stating that Dr. Thoni.i
Curtis, who beard both, pronounced i
superior to Preston's great oration a
Kings Mountain.
A few years ago we had tho privii
ego of reading an u-..count ut the eel:

affair, but wheu measured by its effects, j
it waa oue of the most important battles
ever fought ou this contiuet. It
tired the patriot with enthusiastic hope ;
ami struck terror to tho heart of the
iuvader ; it destroyed British prestige,
b vindicated American valor, and pros
claimed iu thunder tones that the
e days of the proud oppressor were nuia3
bored and the era of liberty and iude- {

i What wonderful changes since that \

i rose that fateful morniug, could have
I flung his searching beams down the

Our Country.
The United States is our couutryi;
)ccur>iea the o?ntral and must imnnr
ant part of North America; ami re
,*eut events plainly pound to the fact
:bat its position ip the rank of the
Great Powers'' of th? world is not
wcoudary.
This country of ours extends from
.he Atlantic to the Pacific oc.'an, aud
:rom the Gulf of Mexico to the Great
Lakes. Its area lucluding Alaska is
3,556,600 sqpare miles. There are
t'?rly-five States aud five Territories.
Texas is the largest state, haviug a
population of 2,235,523 au area of
265,780 square miles. It is more
ihau thirty times as large as the State
of Massachusetts. The smallest State
ui the uuion is Rhode Island, with
au area of only 1,250 square miles,
hut has a population ot 345,506 Lying
bet woe u these two States, Texas
the largest Rhode Islau 1 the smallest,
arc the remaining forty-three States
and vihen we place these forty tWo
States before ua we see the country we
call ours with a population according
to the census of lft'JO, of 62.622,250
souls. Doubtless we may saf dy say
that, tlio population in 1800 is in |
rouud numbers 70,000,000. Tnese
United States have a govern incut,
* ith ail of its detects, (and no government
is pciLet) among the best, if
n it the best, the world ever knew,
file Prerideut is elected by and is of
the people. The position ho fills, the
honors he wears are given him by the
voters, who are his friends and fellow
citi/.Mis.
The Senate of the Uuited States is
composed of .88 members; each State
having two sous tors, and in this way
the rights of the minority are guarded.
Fifty seven of theso senators are lawyers.
This would teem to indicate
that lawyer* are not the moat nnpopular
ni3.i among ua. The Vice President
pressLlea ov,.r the senate- The
House of Representatives, four-huu'Ireel
ami forty tix in number, and
divided amoug the Siats according
to population, New York standing
at ttio head, with tairty lour members,
flicss with her thirty-six voles in the
electoral olloge. There is a aayiug
amoag us us goes Ne.v York, so goes
the Union." There arc seven states with
only one member each in the lower
h ruse. The State of Delaware for
example. The lower house, with four
hundred and forty.six members has
two hundred and eighty-five lawyers,
and is presided over by lion. Thus.

ALASKA'S BROWN BEARS.
H?7 Art Got* BttAmalitrt sad

"The brown boar Is the groat road-1
maker of the Alaska peninsula," said
a guide of many years' experience In
that region. "Not only are the banks
of the streams Inxldcn into good trails
hy tlie huge, lumbering brutes, but tile
swampy plains are crossed iu every
direction hy paths leading t? the kills.
The traveler will do well to follow
them in journeying across the country,
as they invariably lend to the best
fording places of streams and form
the easiest routes to the hills. Tb?
northern side of the Keuni peninsula,
bordering the shores of Cook Inlet.
Kaodluk Island and the Alaskan peninsula
as lar west as L'niak Island are
favorite stamping grounds of tho
Alaska brown hear. He is a huge,
shaggy animal, varying in length from
six to twelve feet anil weighing from
Son to 1,100 pounds. Tills hear posseses
all the courage and fierceness
of his southern cousin, the grizzly, and
he lias been hunted so little as yet
that he is absolutely fearless of inun
ami is an exceedingly dangerous adversa
ry.
"In dealing with the Alaska brown
near a hunter should never go alone.
[ A companion is almost as essential as
a gun. If possible, a man well ac|
qmiintod with the peculiar habits ?f
I this animal should he engaged to net
I as guide. Good hear dogs are of
great assistance; but they must be
brought Into the country by the hunter,
j as there are very few dogR there.
' There are no trees as far west as Portage
Hay. and the hunter must be exceedingly
eareful how he enter* the
heavy thiekets which cover the river
bottoms, as the hears favor thla kind
ol' ground, and if aroused or wounded
will unhesitatingly attack.
"Being an expert lisher, the bear
frequents, during the salmon season,
all the rivers emptying into the Beliring
Sea aud the north Paellic and
their tributaries as l'ar aa the tlsh go.
After the salmon mu is over the anlmal
retreats Into the recesses of the
hills, where berries and nuiali game
are plentiful.
"The Alaska cranberry is an especially
toothsome morsel to the brown bear,
has a particularly sweet tooth. The
Alaska cranberry grows ou marshes
that are 2.000 and even :i,000 foot above
the s< a level. When ripe they are almost
deep purple .lelly made from
ilt.se berries is of a rich claret color,
and as transparent as the most flawloss
glass. The flavor of it is delicious.
Pear hunters liauut. these elevated
marshes when the berries are ripe,
for then they are sure of a p roll table
and easy bear harvest."
