at their head the Stars and Stripes.
Accompanied by the solemn tolling ot
the bell, and the sad, sweet dirges of the
band, the procession wended its way tC
the Jacksonville Cemetery. After prayer
delivered by Rev. Rose, the garlands and
flow ers were scattered upon the graves oI
the soldiers who "sleep the sleep that
knows no waking" Rev, Powell pro,
nouneed the.benediction. The procession

WATER SPouT.-The phenomenal Of
water spout, not very common occurrence
over land, was witnessed in this vicinity
on Wednesday evening of last week. The
base ofits operations was the creek, run
ming thro' the farm of James Willis, near
BloomingbWg, where twas seen at short
distance by several gentlemen, who de-
scribe it as having the appearance to them
of dense body of whirling smoke, about
10 or I2 feet through the lower end, resting
upon the creek, and extending above the
tops of the trees. 1t made q noise like q
threshing machine, only much louder, and
whirled the water out of the creek at fu-
rious rate, draining it almost dry. The
upper portion of the water spout was
plainly visible here, and when first noticed
presented the appearance of small, fun
nel-shaped cloud, the point extending
downward. Forsome minutes it gradual
ly heightened out toward the earth, in an
arched position, as if bent in the center by
the motion of the cloud, then it began to
grow shorter and fainter, and finally died
out, leavinga dim, wavy trail of vapor be-
hind it, which faded away in moment.

by PROF. W, III NENNABLE.
Beneath the summer sky,
How peacefully they lie
At rest from wars;
oh sacred hold the grave
OF each devoted brave,
Who poured his blood TO save
The Stripes and Stars.
Their marches now are DER,
They WELD the sword no more
TO smite our foes;
No sound of hostile drum
To their low tents may come,
Or break the silence dumb
Of their repose.
But grateful throngs shall bring
Each year their Offering
Of grief and love;
Bright garlands should be spread,
And tribute teardr0ps She'd
For patriot heroes dead,
Their tOmbs above.
To Thee, oh Lord, our God,
Up from this holy sod
Our voices rise;
Here freedoms cause maintain,
For which our brave were slain,
Forbid Gus making vain
Their sacrifice.

HOW SHALL WE NOMINATE?

To the Editor of the Star:
Will you allow neto advance some rea-
sons why, in my opinion, the nominating
election system should be adhered to and
the delegate system not adopted
lst. | have more faith in the wisdom of
all the Republican party than in small
portion of it, eyeI though that small por-
lion oft be invested with all the dignity,
much or little, of delegates, sef.appointed
or otherwise.
ID. 1t is not probable that there is as
much danger Of the mass Of the party be-
ing unwisely drawn into TIE support of
weak or unpopular candidates by the
nominating election system as there is by
the delegate system, for the reason that
whileimproper eectioneering may be done
under the nominating election system, the
people are not so easily influenced by it as
in years past They do not particularly
pledge themselves, and will vote for can
didates of their preference, netwithstand-
ing any electioneerng influences that may
be brought to bear upon them. On the
other hand it is well known fact that i
is possible in a delegate convention for A,
who is friendly to B, and who possesses
more brass and parliamentary tact than E
or F, to get the recognition of the chair
man, as being entitled to the floor, and
propose the nomination of B, and the
thing being "eut, dried and understood"
for the occasion, of course G seconds the
motion of A, Other delegates, from
sense of timidity in openly opposing can
didates, feel inclined to try to make them
selves believe that the man proposed will
do, and quietly keep their seats, although
a majority of them may be opposed to the
adoption of the motion. The chairman
puts the motion. One, two. three, or per-
haps half dozen feeble ayes are heard,
and no nays, for the reason above suggest
ed and then other candidates are perhaps
nominated in the same way, and then it is
heralded forth to the country that the ac-
ton of the convention was very harmqni-
