Mudsius.

Before the outbreak of the present war, when
open hostilities were unknown, the grandees of
the South could find no more bitter reproach for
the mechanics of the North than the term " mud
slls" Senseless as the appelative was to intelli-
gent men, it served to show the estimation in
which traitors held labor and those who live by
it, and was expressive of their utter scorn.
A Just retrbution has fallen upon these traitors
TO their country, for through the want of those
despised &c mudsils y their railroads are in ruins,
their factories such they have, short-handed,
and only worked by g Northern men with South
principles and their steamers for all often
sive purposes useless. Though the fields of the
South at this moment require all the cultivation
chat can be bestowed upon them, there none
but slaves to plant the crops or to reap them if
they were sown. The North is equally short
handed, and when men disappear from the
homestead or the factory, dumb assistants, sup
ply their place, and the crops are not only gath
cred in cheaply, but are, or might be, increased
in quantity by the employment of the useful
agricultural machines which are now in market.
All other callings and trades equally pros
porous at the North, and only in the war-ridden
South is the voice of labor hushed in the field
the hum of the factory replaced by solitude and
ruin. The Southern journals, such as still exist,
are full of demands for "mudsills;' they la
ment bitterly the loss of machine shops and
foundries and are inconsolable in being debarred
the privilege of certain manufacturing towns
which have recently been wrested from them in
Georgia and Mississippi 1t is, of course, the
products of labor that they miss so greatly, but
these products are the fruits of the skill and in
genuity of Northern &C mudsills,' whom they
vnce derided, but now mourn and refuse to be
comforted therefor.
Let them take this JUNCTION to their souls :-One
day the Southern factories, mills and machine
shops shall be busy again; and peaceful and
smiling land acknowledge with gratitude the
benefits which g mudsills 4" confer upon them.-

Dawn LYos, ono Of the earliest sot-
Iers Of Oakland county, in this State,
md q resident Of this section for the
major part of the time since 1886,
died in Saginaw City, on Sunday last,
aged Ga years.
Capt Lyon, as he was familiarly
called, though for what reason the til
tic OF Captain was applied, we do not
know, came to Michigan from near
Seneca Lake, N. Y, bringing his wife,
in 1920, and settled at Pontiac, Oak
land county, at which place and in
tho immediate vicinity he piled his
vocation as carpenter formany years,
having built many of the first mills
and residences erected in the early
days of that section. In 1886 he
built the steam saw mill for James
l.. Conger at Belvidere, Macomb Co.
the year following he moved to Sagi-
nav whore he has lived most of the
time since, alternating between here
ond Oakland county, according as his
business demanded. He built the
Johnson (now Litchfeld) saw-mill, at
Milwaukee, tho Willard & Sweet mill
opposite Saginaw City, and some doz-
on other saw mills on Saginaw river,
grist mill at Waterford, one at Gin
tonville, one at Milford, Oakland Co.
and the Hamilton mill at Flint, since
burned, and several others; he also
built the Cass River Bridge on the
Plank Road between here and Flint.
de was first class mechanic, a man
OF energy, nerve and thoroughly in
dustiious habits, one Of that number
by no means small, among the early
pioneers of Michigan, who possessed
every requisite necessary to the de-
veiopment of wealth in a new country
but who failed to see the necessity of
accumulating it for them selves.
He had by his first wife six sons,
four of whom are living and now
grown-up men. Perry G. Lyon, of
Grand Island, Nebraska; Ephraim
w. Lyon, of the Courier; James b.
Lyon, of Tuscola County and Chas.
b. Lyon, with the I'd Michigan Cav
airy.
Capt. Lyon was man of strong
feelings and prejudices, and in his lat
ter days became misanthropic, by rea-
son of ill-health and other difficulties to
an extent which rendered him at times
very unreasonable. He had, however,
many good and generous qualities,
for which he will be kindly remem-
bered by numerous old friends and
as sociates.

LAKE AND NoRToN's CIRcUs.-This
renowned circus made its first appear
ance in this city on the 9Th inst, and
will remain two days. Probably there
is not now travelling the country a
more complete and Justly celebrated
company than this. Mr.. Lake has
long been identified with amphithea-
ire performances, and has a world
wide reputation for always having an
unrivaled company, and the most
chaste and elegant performances. His
stud of horses, his scenic riders, both
ladies and gentlemen, and his whole
arena performances, are brought to
the highest perfection, and are at once
original, bewildering and classic in
the extreme.
The graceful and daring riding of
Miss Alice, only thirteen years of age,
is pronounced by every one unsur-
passed by any female rider on the
continent The trained horse, John
ston, together with the trained mules
are rare and diverting novelties, which
are introduced in each performance.
JOHNNY l.owlow is the pioneer of am
phitheatre clowns, original racy and
tireless. In short, the whole cata-
logue of performers is of the most at
tractive kind, and revives the splen-
doris of your youthful days, when the
performances of the Circus Ring, and
not the show of gorgeous wagons,
filled our wondering minds with awe.
The comaany will enter town on Fri
day morning, proceeded by the band
and wagon, drawn by forty horses,
sight of itself worth seeing.-DetroH
Free Press.
The above circus will exhibit in
this city on next Monday and Tues
day. See advertisement.
