THE PLAINS.-A PROPHECY.

Go ye and look upon that land,
That far vast land that few behold,
And none beholding understand
That old, old land which men call new
Go Journey with the seasons through
Its wastes and learn how limtless.
The solemn silence of that PLAIN
Is, oh! so eloquent The blue
And bended skies seem built for it.
And all else seems yesterday,
An idle tale but idly told
Its story is of God alone,
For man has lived and gone away
And left but little heaps of stone
Lo! Here you learn how more than fit
And dignified is silence, when
You hear the petty jeers of men.
Its awful solitude remain
ThencefOrth for aye a part of you
And you have learned your littleness.
Some silent red men cross your track;
Some sun n-tanned trappers come and go;
Some rolling seas of buffalo
Break thunder-like and far away
Against the foot hills, breaking back
Like breakers of some troubled bay;
Some white-tailed antelope blown by
SO airy like; some foxes shy
And shadow-like move to and fro
Like weavers' shuttles as you pass;
And now and then from out the grass
You hear lone bird cluck and call
A sharp, keen call for her lost brood,
That only makes the solitude
Seem deeper still, and that is all.
That wide domain Of mysteries
And signs that men misundcfstand;
A land of space and dreams; n land
OF sea-salt lakes and dried-up seas;
A land or caves and caravans
And lonely wells and pools; a land
That hath its purposes and plans,
That seems so like dead Palestine
Save that its wastes have no contine
Till pushed against the leveled skies;
land from ont whose depths shall rise
The new-time prophets; the domain
From out whose awful depths shall come,
All clad in skins, with dusty feet,
A man fresh from his Makers hand
A singer singing oversweet,
A charmer charming very wise;
And then all men shall not be dumb
Nay. not be dumb for he shall say,
Take heed, for l prepare the way
For weary feet" and from this land
The Christ shall come when next the race
of man shall look upon His face.

The First CelebratlOn.

Apropos of the national anniversary
Just passed, it may be mentioned that
the first anniversary of Independence
Day was celebrated in Philadelphia
" with festivity and ceremony be-
coming the occasion" So wrote John
Adams to his daughter on the 9Th of
July, l777, and adds: "The thought
of taking any notice of the day was not
convinced until the second of the
month, and il was not mentioned I'M
til the third Congress determined to
adjourn over that day (the fourth) and
to dine together. The general officers
and others in town were invited, with
the President of the State of Pennsyl-
vania, for Pennsylvania then had a
President, under a new government
just formed). The frigaets Delaware
and Pennsylvania with galleys, guard
boats, aud other continental armed
vessels took part in the celebration.
The shores were linde with vast crowds
ef joyous people. The congressional
dinner was at the Getty Tavern" in
Second street. Nolleys were fired be-
tween every toast by n company of
soldiers drawn up before the tavern,
and music was furnished by band OF
Hessians captured at Trenton. At
night there was spontaneous illumi-
nation by the citizens, with fireworks,
&c Only tory house here and there
was dark. Meantime preparations
were going on for the great contest of
arms with the mother country, and
during the day attachments of troops
for the revolutionary army Were being
reviewed, on their way to camp.

OF the other parties to the contro-

by. He has for years threatened this

A REFORM DISRUPTION.

Quite bombshell has been thrown
into the Reform camp of this state
through the letter of Hon. Sat. Clark,
Of Horizon, to his excellency Gov
erner Taylor, which appeared in the
papers last week. The letter shows
Sat. to he an inveterate Office seeker
and shows Taylor as man who does
not always, fulfill his political promises.
Sat. says he was faithfully promised by
the Governor the position Of Warden
Of the state Prison, but when the time
came for appointing the three commits
sioners who were to select theIWarden,
his excellency made sure to ap-
point such commissioners as he knew
to be opposed to him. Then the story
IS told that the Governor was 80 full
Of remorse over his usage of his
s'dear friend Clark" that he determined
to give him the appointment of one of
the three Railroad Commissioners.
But, as is generally known, poor Salts.
name failed to connect with the Rail
road commission business, and Paul of
the Mi1Uauhee Neaos got the position.
Sat- Clark thinks that this is a very
poor return for what he did to elevate
the present incumbent iato the
Guberna;orial chair. Clark worked
hard for the success of the Reform
ticket last fall. but is still without his
reward and took this method to com
plain bitterly of the treatment he has
received in the house of his friends.

LUCIEN 3. CASWELL.

at the coming November election,
congressman are to chosen in all the
districts of the State. For the Repub-
Hcan nomination for Congressman for
this (the Second) District Of Wiscon-
sin, we take pleasure in presenting the
name Of Hon. Lucien B. Caswell, Of
Fort Atkinson, name honored and
respected from one end Of Jefferson
county to the other, and well known
and popular over the entire district.
Our choice of Mr.. Caswell for this
nomination is not suggested to our
mind from any dissatisfaction we feel
over the manner Hon. G. w Hazel
ton has represented the district, nor
through any distrust we have that he
would not serve us faithfully in the fu-
ture, were be again reelected to the
position he now fills with so much
ability, and in such a satisfactory man
ner to his immediate constituents, and
the people of the State at large.
Without knowing anything to the
contrary, we have every reason to be-
Heve that Mr.. Hazelton is not to be
considered candidate for this nomin-
alton, his friends generally conceding
the honor to Jefferson county.
Mr.. Caswell's fitness for the position
cannot be questioned His extensive
legislative experience, running through
residence of many years in the State;
j.. his faithfulness and steadfastness as a
Republican; his honesty and integrity
as man with character unsullied
and irreproachable. point to him as the
person eminently deserving and we'll
entitled to receive this nomination.
With Mr.. Caswell as the nominee,
the Republicans might we'll go into
the contest with every hope of carry
ing Jefferson county for their Congress.

the district they could reasonably ex-
