THE GRAND RARBECUE TODAY.

We trust that every man in Shelby
county, who has at heart the success Of
the Bartlett ticket, wiIl,make it a point
to attend the grand rally and barbecue
which comes of to-day, and that what
ever each and alI can contribute 10 that
end viii be forthcoming. The cause,
the ticket and the times demand that
the people-the white voters of Shelby
county shall make an extraordinary
effort for success. As goes the August,
so will the November elections. The is
sues al stake are too momentous to per-
init eveu a thought of defeat. But vic
tory is only to be had by labor, by con-
slant, steady and persistent labor, by the
every effort Of every white voter in the
county. The committee who have the
matter in charge have msde arrange
nents on q most generous scale for the
entertainment ofas many as roay attend,
though they embrace every man IN Shell
nv who is known to favor the white mans
cause and the white mans ticket. The
Bartlett movement must be a success.
Let the barbecue at Bartlett to-day be
an assurance that it viii. To that end let
every one attend the grand rSly, the first
and most important of the canvass.

The Celebration ut welIsviiie.

The CeleDfhttoh -
The Masonic celebration at Wells
Vile yesterday. may be fifty characters
;ze5 "a immense" That is the word
and it needs no qualifying sdjectives.
Having been subjected to some local per-
secution by the new anti-masonic society
which is tyring to spring upln Ohio
and elsewhere, the brethren thought to
copfound their enemies by a show Of
strength, and certainly they hive no
reason to complain Of yesterdays dem .
opstrstien. Fully $500 Freemasoas
were in procession in WellsvIlle
yesterday. and at least the
same number Of ladies. minors and
others througed into and over-run the
town.
The train which carried the Wheeling
Knights and members OF the blue
lodges consisted OF fifteen cars and upon
its arrival at Wellsville, contsln-
ell about 1000 passengers. These
were dispersed 10 fifteen well furnished
care, the engine being gaily decorated
with flags and the head light rendered
conspicuous by a square aud compass
Mr.. r. Chisholm was engineer, Mr..
A. Tolmle, fireman aud Sir John Breen
conductor. Uunder the careful guidance
given by these gentlemen, the railroad
ride, both going and returning, wSs
rendered both safe and pleasant.
The address delivered al the grove
by Sir Knight W. B. Watkins, wss an
eloquent defense Of Masonry against
the charges that have recently
been pronounced in the
neighborhood OF Wellsville. 1t was
such an Grafton as only Rev. Watkins
can deliver, and WAS listened to with
great delight by the vast throng That
surrounded the speakers stand.
The Knights and others formed in
procession soon after the completion OF
Rev. Watkins address, and after
marching to their headquarters were
dismissed
Fully 1000 people participated in the
celebration, 1000, by actual count, were
in the procession; and GER
tsinly an almost equal
number lined the streets.
1t was the most imposing and success
ful Masonic demonstration that has
ever been had in Eastern OHIO. and will
doubtless bear good irnit.

ST. NICHOLAS FOR JULY.-We have
received the July number Of the St.
Nicholas, Scribners illustrated maya
zine for boys and girls, and it is not
only superb, but unusually brilliant.
The table OF contents is well calculated
to attract the attention OF the Juveniles,
and create an active demand for the
uly number. Among many other at
fractions there lie story by Bret Harte
about a wonderful little grizzly bear,
in which the varied and curious fortunes
of the animal, Baby Sylvester" by
name, are told with all the authors
....a,nmed auaintness and humor'
Baby" muet have been a Charming
bear. "Your caressing hand says the
author, "sank away in his fur with
dreamy langor. To look at
him long was an into1lcatlon
OF the senses; to pat him was
q wild delirium; to embrace him. an
inter decentralization Of the Intellectual
faculties" The story is finely illustrated
by Sheppard and james c. Beard, one
OF the engravings being capital pic
ture OF the author disturbed in his sleep
by the infant grizzly. William Cullen
Bryant contributes a beautiful little
poem from the Spanish, and there is a
very well told story of the war OF 1872,
called "Rebecca, the Drummer" by
Charles Barnard, which will etir up the
patriotism iu girls as well as boys. Then
we have an article on "Fire-Crackers
and the Fourth Of July" by VIM. c.
Riding, ia which the mysterious in
scriptions in packs of crackers are ex-
planned, and the whole subject Of fire
works is discussed. st. Nicholas can
be had at all the book stores.
