ADDRESS OF HON. HORACE MAYNARD
AT THE ~fr
Decoration Services Held Yesterday at
Nashville.

AT THE
Decoration Services Held Yesterday AFT
Nashville.
The following extract from the address
of Hon. Horace Maynard, delivered yes
terday at Nashville, we are sure will be
read with interest. 1t is classical, learned,
appropriate and eloquent, just such an eff
fort as might be expected from SO learned
man and distinguished an orator:
There are certain things connected
with human affairs which belong to no
one age; they are never old, nor yet are
they new. They are of all time. Such are
honors to the memory of the dead. At the
close of the late war, our fallen soldiers Law
scattered over the hundreds of fields on
which they fell. In obedience to the law,
their remains We're diligently sought out,
and gathered into cemeteries convenient
for locality and adorned with various taste
a common sentiment brought together
their relatives and surviving comrades to
offer tributes of respect in the place of
graves. lie profits not to inquire by what
chance day was selected for this purpose
at the close of spring, when the flowers
were developing into the ripened growth
of summer; that coming at this season
they should bring flowers, roses. daffodiJs
violets, pansies and lilies with full hands
was most natural. Equally natural and
obvious was it to select some one who in
words aptly chosen and sentences well or
dered, should give utterance to the
thoughts which were alive in the hearts of
all. And, as with the years, the season re-
turns, the same observance has been re-
peated, until it seems likely to become a
custom, and the day to assume the dionitv
of a national festival. So

in consequence of the remarkable defeat of
the Persian invaders. A person selected
by the State, highly esteemed for his wis
dom and of superior station and dignity
pronounced suitable panegyric, though
forbidden by the express words of the law
from INDUCING in either ex0rdium or pero-
ration. The Romans adopted the custom,
as they also did many other things after
the manner Of the more cultivated and
polished Greek. Pliny declares Virginins

know the result. So of other points. The
war for the Union went on, overthrowing
and wiping away all obstacles, and using
every available fundamentally, never
ceasing, never intermitting until every
| foe was disarmed and the Union was safe,
and there it ceased. To preserve it secure
| against future dangers has been the subse-
quent endeavor. The Union then was
the cause for which and against which 30
| many men died and received sympathy
and honor, respectively, from its
| friends and its enemies. No words
of mine are needed in vfndication
of the Union. A thousand times has this
browning effort of Washington, the adj
miration of patriots for three quarters of
q century, been the theme of elOquence
and imprisoned argument for surprising
minds. A thousand times have the youth
of the land been intreated, not without
against it. No, no, our cause requires
nothing of human speech to commend it
to posterity. will not even predict their
Judgment.
Our recent intercourse with foreign ma
tions has been no less satisfactory than our
domestic affairs. We are literally and
truly at peace with all the world, not exc
cepting the predatory tribes lowering on
our 1rOntlerS. OuT1ug our mOItai StIuSSiet
afew of them were friendly, the most OF
them Indifferent, and some actively hos
tile. Among the last were. Plus TX, Ma
poleon III and the British government,
all too eager, impatient for our undoing.
The first, who alone of potentates re
cognized the rebellion as a nationality and
by consequence the complete dissolution
of the Union, after proclaiming his own
infallibility, was stripped of all temporal
power by men of his own church, and, as
he himself chooses to express it, impris-
oned in the Vatican. The Emperor of the
French is in exile, his capital in ruins, and
the finest parts of his empire held in
pledge by an invading and victorious enc
my. The negotiations Just concluded with
the government of Great Britain have been
peculiarly gratifying to the American peo-
pie, alike for the agents employed, the
and the results, SO unobjectionable
as to be ratified by quite four-ffths of the
Senate, irrespective of local or political af-
finities. The desire of neighboring peO-
Piles to unite their national destiny with
ours, denotes an increasing confidence in
the excellence, strength and perpetuity of
our government. sr9 S : .ls'ii - -zs5

their whole country and its free govern
ment, those early demonstrations of the
unwarlike and peacefully indicated citi-
zens ought seem to be forgotten. l well
remember remark at that period, at
tributed to Mr.. Alexander III. Stephens, to
the effect that the men who begin revo-
lutions are seldom the men who end
them. .Sa = 20
Another maxium often in the mouths
of men at the same period was, that revo-
lutions never go backward, still another
might have been but was not added, that
revolutions seldom move forward to the
point aimed at by those who begin them.
We have seen all aphorisms prove true,
although not in the sense in which they
were used and certainly understood at that
day. Without following the fortunes of
the war in the fluctuations of success,
from the opening scene at Bull Run to the
closing of the tragedy at Appamattox
Court House, it is apparent that the great
movement never refrigerated, there were
no steps backward, it advanced in a
way little immagined by those who
set it agoing, and they who began it have
almost to a man disappeared and given
place to others. This remarked change
extends to social aud private life as we'll
as 10 puoiic life, and what was usually un-
derstood by our peculiar institution. All
tnese results, be it understood, were indi-
catlye and not objective. The, object was
to preserve the Union, EVERYTHING else
was not only subservient but Subsidiary.

Quoted by President Edwards of the
Normal University of illinois. Prest
Edwards has few if any superiors in
this kind of work, and a week spent
in Institute exercises conducted BY
him will give to the practical teacher
better idea Of how to teach than
months of study OF text books. The
Normal University of Illinois, at the
head Of which Prest. Edwards has
been for about seven years, stands
among the very first in the country
having an attendance last year OF
about 700 students. His experience
in teaching teachers, his knowledge
of all improved methods, his ability
as q speaker, ought to insure larger
attendance of teachers than the
county has ever had. He has also
several popular lectures which have
been most favorably received in diff
fercnt parts of the country, one or
two of which he will give upon some
evenings ofthe week. Let not the
absence Of the County Superintend
emit nor the fact that schools are not
in session, keep teachers from gener-
al, prompt attendance. We add to
our notice Of yesterday this urgent
word to teachers and friends of edu
cation in Wapello county.

house in st. Louis, last Saturday
afternoon for $4,000 cash, Nor.
ris X. Jessup, of New York, being
the successful bidder. Three thous.
and five hundred shares in the st.
Charles bridge across the Missouri
river, belonging to the North Mie.
souri, Railroad Company, were then
sold at $25 per share, Jessup being
the buyer.
The amount of the first mortgage
bonds assumed by the purchaser ia
$6,O0O,OOO. There is also floating
debt Of $4,000, 900, most of which, it
is believed, will be paid, making the
amount actually paid for the road
about $1O,O00,O00. which is said to
be not more than half what it ia real
ly worth.
Mr.. Jessup is the owner OF the Du-
buque 4 Southwestern Railroad, and
is the party who furnishes the capital
TO build the St. Louis l. Cedar Rap

The st. Louis people were much
alarmed at the sale of the road, for
fear Chicago interests might get and
control it; but since Jessup has
bought it their interests are safe.
