THE Grand Medal of HoLor awardt

THE Grand Medal of Honor awarded
Il our Mr.. Mccormick at the Paris EXPOSE
tion, is not one of the ordinary gold medals
distributed to other exhibitors, but is one OF
the Eleven Special Medals, larger ana more
valuable, awarded only to such articles as in
the estimation Of the jury demanded some
extraordinary mark of distinction for their
superior excellence, worldwide fame, and
universal utility.
It is well known that the jury did not has
tily bestow its honors that the trials in the
field were laborious and persistent tests in
cutting the most difficult crops of grain and
grass, Ia The rain, completely saturated, dnd
closer to The ground than any cutting eueT done
in america ; and that these tests were con-
tinued day after day, some of them on the
Emperor's own farm, and at repeated inter-
walls, so as to give ample time for reflection
and judicious decision. Though several 9TH
Ell machines land among them we are pleas
ed to observe two other American machines
were awarded gold and silver medals, yet to
America in general, and to our Mr. Meteor
mick in particular, belongs the proud dis
tinction of again carrying off the Great Prize,
as he did at the former World stFalr, In 1901,
| at London, and in 1855, at Paris.

BURIAL SONG OF A CARPET-BAGGER.
Not drum was heard nor funeral note,
AS his corpse to oblivion we hurried;
Not groan escaped a gentlemans throat
When the carpet-bagger was buried.
We buried him deep in dirty soil
so deep that they will meier uncover him,
Unless some Radical boring for oil,
By the dearly loved scent should discover
him.
His coffin was made of a ballot-box;
With white mems votes we bound him;
And he looked like q baboon taking his rest,
With Hunnicutt's paper around him.
Few and short were the speeches we made,
And we sung not doleful ditty;
But his body and spirit together we laid,
Just out of the White Mans City.
And as we were hastily tramping back.
Twas said if the d. don't take him,
He'll quietly sleep in tina grave so deep,
Till the trumpet of Gabriel shall wake
him.
