THE CRrrTENDEs GUARDS AND THE MINUTE MEN
OF '60.-These fine Bell and Everett clubs had
turnout and a glorious time Of it on Wednesday
night; the Minute Men being the guests of the
Guards.
With their music and lights they marched to the
residence of citizen of the Fourth District, where
the ladies presented the Guards two beautiful
American flags. The house was illuminated and
crowded with ladies'; the scene was altogether
pretty and delightful. The flags were presented
on behalf Of the ladies by Miss Maria Russell, who
spoke briefly but sweetly, and received for the
Guards by their President Mr.. E. D. Turner, whose
spoken acknowledgment was worthy Of him and
his club. The flags are silk, with silver stars, and
the inscriptions of presentation are in gilt letters
on the stripes The staffs are decorated with
braided ribbon Of red, white and blue.
The two clubs then went down to the river and
crossed over to Gretna, where Bell and Everett
meeting, largely attended for that small settle
ment, was in session. DIR. Howe, of Gretna, was
President of the meeting. R. H. Mari, Esq, made
beautiful and stirring speech. Col. Field of this
city addressed the meeting with all his usual eo-
quence and force; and Mr.. Turner, President of
the Guards, also made speech, pertinent to the
occasion and to the times, in which he acquitted
himself with much honor. Il
After the meeting the clubs and great part Of
| the other multitude formed in procession, and
marched all around Gretna. At the residence
| handsomely illuminated) Of Mr.. Kimball, that
| gentleman's daughter, Miss Alice Kimba, made a
/ charming address, and presented to the Guards a
magnificent wreath, which President Turner re-
ceived and acknowledged in his usual feIicitous
| style. The wreath was placed on the banner-pole.
| The Minute Men of go were also presented with a
beautiful wreath, which Capt. Beggs gallantly ac-
knowledged the name Of the lady donor we did
notlearn.
| After completing the march around Gretna, the
clubs returned to the city, and marched to their
quarters and disbanded, well satisfied, as they had
reason to be, with their march and their trip to
| Gretna.

sailor could use worse language. The gentema

up and dropped him like hot potato at the polio
office. When we were at the office last evening

still somewhat boozy, but laughing and takin
things quite comfortably and cursing and villifyn
