1t was lovely June night as the
steamer Hdscd, at the rate Of twenty
mules an hour, went along the river
banks and ploughed the calm bosom
Of the Mississippi with foaming flr-
ows. During the evening the Wis.
Association met in the cabin, and.
after adopting series of resolutions
OF thanks, General Ginty presented
the President, on behalf Of the Asso.
cation, with a silver service, and DIR.
Pease presented him, on behalf of
the same, with an elegant gold head
ed cane, as mark of the appreciation
OF the Association far his untirine
energy and ungrudging labors to
promote the interests Of tho Associa.
ton and the pleasure and profit of
every member. The President ably
and happily responded, and we
lett the happy party making the
most OF the occasion, to go on deck
and see Lake Pepin by moonlight
we sat down on the fore deck bv |
Captain Webb, and for an hour and a |
half while the boat ran through the |
sllvered Lake Pepip, enjoyed such a
sense of inspiring beauty, with the
moonlight "sweetly sleeping on wa
ter and on bank" as made us OBJ
ivious to all else save the hastily I
rushing water and the charm
cd thoughts OF " long ago.
On entering the Goblin we found the
iancers, singers and merry makers
lad retired to rest, and afcer brief

'taScd had neared La Crosse through

making the run of 208 miles, from st.
