The Elopement Of Somebody’s

[From Cape Ann (Mass.) Advertiser
We have a theory that anoth-
er dory besides the Centennial^
is attempting to make the pas-
sage across the Atlantic, and
that this accounts for the con-
flicting reports concerning Capt.
Johnson, in the Centennial. The
craft is of the saime general de-
scription as ffip Centennial, and
is called the Brittle, and was
spoken in latitude 40 degrees
minutes,' longitude 67 degrees 10
minutes, partially disabled. In
support of this theory is the
statement of the master of the
schooner Newport, at Windsor,
wire that was put up in North s:> f™°; 11
1 1 vessel was boarded by tbe mas-
Tribune, was a delegate to the
District Congressional Conven-
tion, and was called ©n for a
speech, the evening before the
convention was held. By way
of illustration, he told an anec:
dote or two. He said to the
Dallasites who were spoiling to
warm one of the chairs in the
Representative Hall in Wash-
ington, that they reminded him
of an account he had heard in
Carolina. The "‘tar-heels” failed
to understand how anything
could be transmitted by the
i wires, and called on their mem-
ber of the Legislature to eluci-
ter of the Brittle, July 16, in lat-
itude 41 degrees 30 minutes, lon-

In one of his speeches, in 1849,
Dafidel Webster said:
“Twenty-seven years more and
a centiiry shall witness a grand
anniversary, Many here this
day will participate in the dem-
onstration to 5$ born on the 4th
of July, 1876. ft will be a proud
day. The constellations, robed
in the azure light of silty centu-

of the day will rise in the east,
saluted by the roar of ten thou-

Our flag, combining ethereal

The people will gather together

and with the patriotism with
which it was read in 1776. Ora-

of John Adams; the fife aud

bands of music will swell the
chorus of the Star Spangled

vibrate nf/oh the swell of each'
