more Of the wagons we're photographed,

at least up to this time. At twenty-five
minutes of two O'Clock, the band and a
choir composed of selected singers from
the various societies, assembled round the
stand and sang
"DER AAI list GEKONMES."
In the rendition of this, the German ma
tiOnal hymn, the Mssnnerchor were led
by Sabatzky. the apartment by the
orchestra Of HandWeFker, which, during
he day, performed many selections,
among them some from the faVoFite Ger

Choir, OF course. acquitted themselves
well; they could not, under the lead Of
Sabatzky, do otherwise. The "Der Mai
list Rekommen" was almost faultless, not
withdrawing there Was much of what
would be termed raw material. Time was
observed exactly and the expression and
accumulation were all that could be de-
sired. The accompaniment by Hand

chorus labored under the disadvantage Of
an open space, where it was impossible to
hold the voice withina given compass and

Think how it was twenty years ago-and
how it is noWk
1t is absolutely necessary that we cOn-
stitute ourselves into an united political
BODY. In the North, in the East and in
the West this fact has been recognized. It
is no longer a question, for there every
German binds himself to his cOuntrymen;
and the magnificent manner in which eV-
cry year the German national festivities
are there celebrated, show hat the Ger
mans there float the Eagle banner of the
race from which they spring and to which
they evermore belong, high in the air.
But in the South now there are too many
here who battle against their
countrymen for this state of things to ex-
list Immediately. The road must first be
broken in Ills direction.
In opposition to such are those
who, in spite of difficulties and
u-npleasantness, boldly continue on the
way that will bring us Germans to
the wished for goal, are to be considered
the committee Of the Mai Fest, the Tur-
ners, the Gesang Yereip, the Executive
Committee OF the German movement,
the editors of the German press, and all
persons and societies who speak German,
and VINO labor to speed or preserve the
German element.
We are Germans and wish to remain

tongue be instilled into our O~hildren-for
only thus can we know that they honor
us. He who daspises our mother tongue
despises as. If we have such principles
at heart, we may expect a festival like
this to-day to produce a good and lasting
impression,
And nowto give the hours their due,
let us pass the day in dance and song, the
enjoyment of the good things OF earth,
and the free expression Of our opinions
one to another. Let old friends join hands.
Let new friendships be formed, that this

on which the gentle girl had delighted
to rest, there emerged from the crevise of
the rock huge animal of the panther
species, within so yards of the wanderers,
and, crouching upon his belly, lay pre-
pared to spring from the ascent upon the
defenceless children.
The monster lashed the sod with its
tail, and growled as it gazed upon the
horrer-struck girl, who dared not turn to
fee, well knowing that such course
would be fatal and, in her mad despair,
she could only shrek for succor, which
she had not thought, however, was near
her. But there was quick rustling in
the underground behind her, though she
heard it not, and, an instant after, old
Belch passed them in hot haste.
"Down Fanny, down shouted the
brave Wallace, who had come mp at the
same moment, and saw her peril, but
could not fire to advantage. Belch bound
ed up the side ofthe bluff and sprang upon
the beast, but in a moment was disabled
by the fierce clutches of the now enraged
and disappointed panther, who for an in
slant, stood over the prostrated dog in
triumph.
Down. shouted the young marks
man again, and Fanny Grey, exhausted
with the fright and excitement, sank up
on the ground. a sharp ring echoed
through the forest, and the savage beast
reeled forward and plunged headlong to
the base of the bluff, pierced through the
brain by the bullet from young Hollands

The father heard the report. He
sprang wildly to the spot, and, in an
other moment, pressed his children fran
tically to his heart. They were safe
unharmed.
Three years subsequently to this ad-
venture, l chanced to be travelling down
the Ohio river. On its brink there stood
a neat little dwelling-an humble spot,
tenanted by youthful couple who had
been but recently married; and from
their lips l gathered the above facts -
The occupants of that pretty dwelling
were Wallace and Fanny-now Mr.. and
Mrs. Holland.
