THE CLEVELAND FEST.

Picnic TO-day-Next SaengerTest al
Louisville. in ISz7.
CLEVELAND, o., June 26.-At busi-
ness meeting of the North American Saen-
gerbund to-day, it was decided to hold tine
tests every three years instead Of every
two, the next fest being h4d in Louisville,
Ky, in 1877.
Tonight the last concert of the festival
was given in which solos were sung by
the separate societies of the BUnd. The
attendance was fair and the music good.
Tomorrow the SangeFfest will close with a
picnic at the Northern Ohio Fair grounds.
This meeting of the Saengerbund has been
a perfect success.

\ VERY remarkable case of selflove at
AthOl, Mass, is mentioned by The Boston
Post. II is that of a lad who is literally,
little by little, consuming himself. He is
sSmuch to his own taste that he takes large
bites out of himself, and masticates bits Of
his own person. In four years he has re-
duced all the fingers on both hands to
stumpS, and he is now engaged upon the
thumb Of his left hand. Whatever may be
the scarcity OF his ordinary raiions, that
hoy is prOyisiOned for his life time.

to shoulder musket were hushed into
deepest silence by the popular demand for
proofs of the integrity of their professions.
Then followed the decentralization of bat
ties, marches and countermarches on Sun
days. and. as the saying is. 'high- days.
holidays and feast days, until the people
were taught to regard one day the
same a. another. Then came the few
erish, wild spirit Of speculation which
swept over the land like an infectious dis
ease. Corporations, sustained by tho ag-
gregation of large amounts Of capital, began
TO assert q power never before felt In this
country, and the desire to get rich BY the
sudden profits of Questionable risks seemed
to have seized the public. The same infec-
ton afflicted our law makers and officials OF
every grade to greater or less extent. The
habits of the peaceful times before the war
were forgotten, or, If not forgotten, ignored.
Thus it is that the recognition of the ami
versary of Washington's birthday by Con-
gress, after ten years omission, seems like
a partial return to the customs of other and
better days-those days when the farmers
and the interests of agriculture and manu-
featuring were consulted and legislated for
as the basis of the nations prosperity.
Perhaps, after all, in view of the evident
signs Of the times, 1t is but the beginning of
new era, and that in the future o little of
the old leaven may be found in our legisla-
tion. If this be true the time lost in the
recess will have been well spent.

the State which, as good citizens, they
should have taken. But investigation shows
that South Carolina is in more prosperous
condition, and that her debt b less than
that of Virginia, State which has been
almost continually under Conservative or
Democratic rule since reconstruction. And
investigation further shows that rs the blacks
become more intelligent as they become
more familiar with the responsibilities OF
citizenship and as they learn to admire that
respect which is only insured by virtue and
honesty, the character of the legislation OF
the State is improving. Led astray by de-
signing men in whom they r,posed conf
dence. and perhaps not altogether guiltless
themselves, they have furnished the name
of Republicanism by the most reprehensible
acts. They are beginning to understand
things better now, and seeking to regain
the public confidence which they have lost.
1t is to be hoped that in the future they will
refuse to be led by the scoundrels who have
abused their trust no matter how high they
may have reached In official position, or
where they were born. As closing suS-
gestion, let them begin with the chief mag
istrate of the State.

The General Assembly of Georgia, the other
day, invited battalion Of Atlanta military
companies to parade and drill before them. In
pursuance of the invitation the battalion ap-
peared, EARNED and equipped" as the law
directs; one of the companies bearing upon
the drill ground the United States flag. This
was too much for Georgia chivalry and thor
oughly reconstructed citizen soldiery. The
commanding officers of two Of the COM
panies notified the captain of the Atlanta
Zouaves, who had the temerity to march un-
der the flag of the country, that unless
"that flag was taken away they would leave
the parade;" s'that 1t was distasteful to them"
&c. Captain John L. Conley, the gallant Off
Ger who commanded the Zouaves, (and who,
by-thc-by, is A son of that sterling patriot,
Ex-Governor Benjamin Conley, of Georgia.
promptly responded that the "aag should not
be insulted," and forthwith marched his COM
pany from the field, to prevent "reconstruc-
ton scene" in this Empire State of the South,
whose Democratic Governor and Democratic
General Assembly are just now clamoring for
Northern capital and Northern immigration.
A nice place for loyal man to settle in-where
his sons would not be allowed to parade under
the United States flag without the danger of
insult.

A CORRESPONDENT in Pennsylvania asks:
"Why don't Congress pass free banking law,
secured by Government bonds, and let banking
and manufacturing regulate themselves accord
ing to supply and demand! Also increase the
tariff fifteen per cent. on the present dutinble
articles, to apply on the national debt, make
the annual appropriations and adjourna"
These questions are pertinent, but somewhat
difficult to answer. Probably the members of
Congress think they were sent here by their
constituents to do some great things. They
seem to be impressed with the idea that they
are expected to invent some means by which
the people can have plenty of money without
working for 1t, and some way Of paying the
national debt besides taxation. They appear
to be convention of inventors at this writing.
They have devised so many contrivances and
plans for making something out of nothing
that the majority appear to be pretty much
convinced that the more of nothing that can tie
added to what We have already on hand the
richer we shall become. They moreover seem
to have a wholesome fear of taxation and
Changers. In the multiplicity of schemes most
of them are apparently dazcd to such an
extent that they are iisinclined to do any
thing.

THE lecture Of the Rev. DR.. Chaplin, at the
Metropolitan church, last night, on "Moden
Chivalry," afforded an intellectual treat such
as is rarely offered even to Washington au-
dience. 1t was an exhibition of true genius
clothed with brilliant eloquence and sparkling
with humor. The cultivated auditory attested
its approval Of the mastery manner in which
the subject was handled by repeated and en-
phatic demonstrations.
