TippecanOe Battle Ground.

For the information of any who may
not have been on the Battle Ground or
read description. we shall describe it
as near as space will allow. as it now ap-
pears. 1t is situated on the leve! top Of
a ridge, which rises in the form of fiat
iron. about fifty feet above the adjacent
plains. Ii runs in the general direction
of n n. L. and S. s. W. as near as we
could judge--the sun not appearing. On
the Western side, the ridge descends alb
ruptly TO Burnett's Creek, small stream
beyond that is level piece of land
bounded on the West by elevated ground
On the eastern side of the Battle Ground
is stretch of wide prairie, bounded on
the East by rising wooded ground. The
north end of the Battle Field is bounded
by the Battle Ground House and enclo-
sures; the south end is a point. The sur
face OF the Field is covered with oak Ii m
Der princi pally, with but little under
brush. 1t is, in fact, an "oak opening"
AT the time Of the battle it was thickly
studded with trees. but mlny of then
have fallen or been cut down, SO it has
at the present time just enough left to
form a comfortable shade in summer
The trees are much hacked and cut, by
persons searching after bullets, Of which
there were great numbers imbedded IN
the timber. They are generally found at
the average depth of three inches. They
have been found at a height Of thirty
feet above the ground. Their situation
at this distance above the ground was
caused by the elevation Of the muzZles Of
the Indians guns caused by the steep as
cent up which they fired.
The remains Of those who died in the
battle are buried ina large grave near the
center of the west line, and in grave
yard near the Ground. Those ofCol. 10.
Daviess lie beside large tree near the
eastern line. The tree has the letter
3D. cut on it. What underbrush and
shrubs there are have been mutilated by
persons obtaining relics. A road runs
through the field from end TO end, and
the excavation for the New Albany and
Lake Michigan Railroad is beginning to
be made just below the brow of the de-
clivity on the eastern side, where the
I fight ragged hottest. Future thousands
from different parts of the 6 lobe will thus,
in future. glide along in the rapid train
near where many noble spirit left its
clayey tenement.
The Ground is not inclosed, A few
years ago rude fence which bounded it
was taken down. and has not yet been
replaced. 1t is hoped that this neglect
will not continue long. A neat and
substantial inclosure should be erected
around the consecrated spot.
We have not seen a design of the Mon.
ument to be erected, but hope it may be
worthy the bene VIOLENT Order which has
projected it, and of the people of lndi-
ana who will probably have an opportu-
nifty of contributing to it.

WORLDS CONVERSION.

One prominent feature in the doctrine

Republicanism. That they will be de.

HISTORICAL CURIOSITY.

In 1898, a clergyman. Vicar Of par
ish in Shrewsbury, England, committed
what the Catholics or Puseytes would
call sacrilese. In his church was pic
ture of the crucifxion of Christ, suspen
ded over what is called the altar. This
picture, as he believed it to be an objec,
of worship. he ordered to be removed. -
Various efforts were made TO retain it.
but al length it was taken from the bail
ding. The Catholic priest. on the follow
ing day, issued the following lampoon
which was circulated over the whole
town:

Could Iscariot do more.
Had it been in his powe,
Than to turn his Lord out Of church?'
1t may be easily supposed. that on one
part of the community this would have
its effect; but the worthy Vicar soon gave
evidence that he possessed wit as well as
his neighbor. for he Immediately replied:
"The Lord | adore.
Is mighty in power,
The only one living and true;
But that Lord of yours,
That | turned out Of doors,
Had about as much knowledge as you.
But since you bemoan,

Still, if this be your God,

Wild and Tame Fruit.

Strawberries are now rpening, and
those who are fond of this most delicious
wild fruit, can find them in abundan &c
in the Barrens and open woods.
The prospect bids fair for an abundant
Weld of wild fruits Of all kinds common
in this country, likewise for Apples,
Peaches, Plumbs. &C., except cherries.
There is something strange connected
with them. Most of the Cherry trees in
this vicinity have been literally covered
with little black insect, which appears
to have poisoned the fruit. so that it
turns of ye,lowish color after their APP
proach, and falls off. Will some of our
scientific men tell us something about
these insects?

laws work disadvantageously are honest
and upright men of respectable standing in
the community, but they cry out "we do
not accept the law" Punishment is meted
out to them for their refractory spirit. By
what shade of authority are they punished
Have they violated nature? Have they
committed moral crime? They have done
neither. Yet it is necessary for the protec-
ton of the greatest number of that commu-
nifty that they should be punished, and the
same poWer that made the law gave the
right to punish. That power is the majority
the very essence and life-moving spirit of
our republican institutions.
Printers Unions are associations for mu-
tual protection. Certain laws are framed
having this tendency. Among which are
the right to demand certain wages for their
services, the right to limit the number of
apprentices, and as they are the best judges,
to say how long they shall serve as appren-
tees. These meet the disapprobation Of a
portion of the New York press, and are
termed arbitrary. If SO, all laws of coun-
try are arbitrary. The city of New York
establishes quarantine. The law is arbi-
trary. Legislation limits the scale of usury.
The law is arbitrary and so are all other
laws passed by Legislative enactment.
