The DRATr-OUR STREETS TO FLOW IN BLooD.-
Our Junction jokers could not let go rich an op.
portunity pass without little fun. During the
drawing Of jurors few days ago. an old man.
who shall be nameless, not overlooked with q
general knowledge of things. appeared in the
Hall, and inquired what was going on. One
person near by remarked that they were drafting.
and forthwith prepared General Order -
signed by A. Lincoln. and countersigned by the
district enrolling officer, notifying the inquirer
that he had been drafted, and ordering him to
report at Leavenworth. II was dropped in the
post Office, and in a short time the unsuspecting
fellow brought it to an old Democratic friend,
who was in the joke. to have read. He broke
the unwelcome news in mingled feelings of pity
and rage-snd with courses deep and long
drawn" informed the man that he had been draft
ed solely because he was q Democrat, and that
the intention was to draft all the Democrats in
the country. An attorney was sought, but no
way to get out Of it except by paying three hun
dred dollars. He broke the news to his "better
half" whereupon a storm appeared. and rippled
the even progress Of the joke-she vowed ven
yeance. and swore that " the streets of Junction
would flow in blood!" Encouraged by the ex-
,ibition of suchTa spirit, the old man put for
rome, declaring that I" if they wanted Him they
would have to come after him." Well bet he
wont stop this side Of the buffalo grounds.

most harmonious manner, and the Order gener-
ally was represented o. fourishing much better
than ever before, especially in the Western States
for instance, in Illinois during the lat two years
three hundred and thirty lodges have been es-

thousand; and in Canada, in the same time.
over three hundred working lodges. with mem
bership OF IL 900 have been reported.
Among the important resolutions adopted WAS
the following:
Resolved, That the r. VIC. Secretary be

Although the Rituals in use at present are
excellent. still it was thought that the good Of

and therefore the prize Of Two Hundred Dollars
is offered to any one who will produce the best
works Of the kind as described in the resolution.
