On Sunday last the human stream
poured towards Dry Creek, where the
Sunday School Convention was in prog
ress. Our town was well nigh deserted
by its young people. Something con-
cerning this Convention may be found
in another column. And now the next
thing bearing on Dry Creek is the Con-
cert and Play of the 18th. They say it
is to be the biggest thing on record.
~
The immediate local feature of the
week has been three wandering Italians
(quite sans culottes,) armed with big fid-
die, little fiddle, and harp. Conceive OF
such trio in an off:the-railroad country
town And their sojourn including sale
day! Such enthusiasm-such never-tir-
ing professions of boys, white and black
such brilliant performances in private
houses at nightasuch frantic dancing of
the young people-such wild Galops,
Waltzes and Lancers-such pell-mell
mixing up, on Sale-day; of Italians, mu-
sic, wbiskey, and natives! And such
streams of mercy-money!-for the ar
tistes More than they have seen for many
a day before! Andsuch a climax rose
colored hep in the Masonic Hall on
Tuesday evening! A profound success.
Long trains, high heads, roses, curls,
tulle, paniers, bustles, bright-eyes, claw
hammer coats, must9ches, long legs,
white vests, starry fronts-ice-cream,
Observation-Disclosures, sliders, slip
pers, sq,iatters, scissorers- and more
galops, waltzes and lancers! 1t has really
been charmingly Bohemian. And now
if woman would only GOMEZ. One OF
these in tights and spangles, that walk
on wire suspended half mile above
tt, public square. Come along, such
one, do! And We'll hand you off, on to
the wire, from the upper piazza of the
-Aducrtiser office. Tiue la bagatelle!

With the near approach OF the lZth
Of July, they are appteheuding 10 New
York n renewal Of the riots which dis
graced that city on the same day OF la's
year. The Orange Societies. to the
number Of some Thousands, have determ'
ined to parade, and it also rumorcd, have
determined to arm themselves with re-
volvers. lf this be true as to the arms,
it offers quick incentive TO their OPP
ponents. the Catholic Irishmeu Of New
York, to attack them and bring about q
sanguinary conflict, compared with which
the affair Of last year we fear will prove
to be but childs play.
Of this feud We have had more than
enough. AS Americans, We can see no
reason why these transatlantic quarrels
Of religion or politics should be trans
planted to the shores Of their new home
and made to embitter their more hopeful
life 10 another hemisphere. Why should
tho Oransemen parade? What good can
it possibly develop, and what evi S may
it not almost surely produce? What, in
these days, do We care Tor Catholic james
or Protestant William, who figured two
hundred years since? They are not Of
our world or Of our times. 1t is the
merest vaporing Of a wild, and what
should be worn out an,agonism.
Last year the Orange Societies psraded
aud were protected by the police Of New
York in their right Of parade and not as
OraDgemcn. THE year, by nm act Of the
Legislature, the procession will be re-
stricted to an occupation only Of dimn.
ishei width Of the public thoroughfare,
under the protection and direction Of the
civic authorities as to time and route
This gives to them the right of process
sion, which in tbi, land Of equality is
open to all without, distinction, but while
this is so, i, is to be hoped that the Or
ange societies and oil other antagonistic
societies looking to perpetuation Of this
senseless feud Of two dead centuries
agone, will grasp the higher and uober
aims Of American citizens, and let 1t die
out along with other violent traditions
Of the useless past-St Louis Dispatch

We commend the following bit Of
literature. to our citizens Of foreign birth.
Henry Wilson is the Radical candidate
for Vice President. We ask our Ger.
man fellow citizens and others of foreign
birth, to read and see tho estimate in
which they are held by the leaders Of
tho Radical party. and then 60 and vote
for Grant and Wilson if they wish At
Boston, Mass, in 1856. Henry Wilson
said:
"In the heart Of the foreigner beats
not a single noble impulse, not one sin
gle throb of patriotism He is so bru-
tai and degraded tha, he has no sympa
thy for anything but cabbage, and lager
beer, potatoes and buttermilk or some
other ou,landish dish, 6t only for hogs
Of the street or pen. All the oaths in
the world cannot bind them.
Some tell me that many foreigners are
intelligent yes, intelligent! How in
the name Of Almighty God can they say
it? Look at the Dutchman smoking
his pipe, and if you see ray of iutelli.
gence in that dirty, idio.ic.look,ng face
of his, show it to me.
We must change the laws of the land
and prevent these ignorant, degraded
paupers here from holding Office. Vii.
lians and Rufians who congregats in and
around our villages and large cities, and
live by stealing and begging from the
Americans. Some say they haze rights.
SO they bave-the right to live under
our laws and till the soil, and 90 ss -

One cf the officers Of the southern
branch Of the national asylum for dis
abled soldiers, located at Hamt ton, Va
gives it as . singular fact that out OF
more than three hundred of the o!l dis
abled volunteer soldiers who are in that
asylum, there are not to exceed a half
q dozen in favor Of Grant, the rest being
strongly for Greeley and Brown. On
the ether hand, the same officer reports

Henry Wilson wasn't Know Nothing

honesty which ough. to characterize the

whom the house, before i, adjourned, un.
seated in favor of Giddlngs Somethirg g
had to be done for Clark and the Presi-
