The Mound City Journal Of Sat
urday last, contains an article, under
great head lines, criticising Hon. d.
W. NUNS speech made on last deco
ration day at the cemetery near that
place.
After stating the provocation that
induced Mr.. Mum to indulge in such
uttoranccs as he employed on the oc-
casion referred to, the journal uses
the following language:
or course, Mum was around on de-
coration day, Notwithstanding the
"cold scald" Of the committee on ora
ton, to indicate himself. He dcliv-
cred an Grafton, of which he was his
praise to bestow upon the Union sol
diers to every three fer the
confederates and dozen for himself,
! As usual, "Dan. Mum" occupied by
far the largest place in his mind and
language.
It'll true the speaker frequently refer
red to himself, but he could not do
otherwise after tho attack that had been
made upon him by Mr.. Ulcn. II is
not however true that he praised the
rebel soldiers three times more than
the Union soldiers, and dozen times
more than the confederate braves. On
the contrary he hcaped eulogy on the
Union soldiers, piled rhetoric upon
their graves, glorifed them as martyrs
in holy cause to the valor of the
confederate dead he paid tribute, say
ing they had been misled by circum-
stances and education, and had paid
the penalty Of their fault with their
lives. He had hated and still hated
the cause in which they had died, but
his hatred did not follow them into
the tomb. Men who had been rebels
sat in congress, held foreign missions
under the present administration, and
the mass Of the people who maintained
the secession cause were now liv.
ing under the flag anxious to be at
peace with their conquerers and were
again devoted to the Union. In view Of
these facts he could not kick at the
graves of dead rebels; but would rather
do what he could to heal the wounds OF
the past and make the reconciliation
ing flowers upon rebel graves in token
Of forgiveness and forgetfulness

NUNS speech, and we believe no can

air Of big boy among little ones, but

have given ofense to even the most ul-
ira radical. The journal must be
hard pressed for reason to strike
blow at Mr.. Mum, or else it would not
seize this one.

HOW THE GREATNAPOLEON DIED

The following incident is given by the

Able Roublacher. 1t is one, our cotem-

of food used by man in those times.
Man then inherited Central Europe iu
company with the reindeer, cave bear
and the mammoth. He was exclusively
hunter and fisher, as is shown by the
bones of animals found in his cave
dwellings,. The miocene formation,
which abounded in arbereal vegetation,
had disappeared during the long period
of the subsequent pliocene formations,
the climate of Central Europe, mean
while, having gradually become colder.
Nature supplied no fruit for the food of
man. What food he got by hunting and
fishing was precarious, and there were in
tervals of famine; for fortune does not
always smile on the hunter, and the
beasts Of the forest are not always
equally numerous. The food. too, was
uniform, and not altogether adapted for
man, for the flesh Of wild animals lacks
fat. The man of those times had not
enough of the heat producers in his food;
and that he felt this want, we learn from
his taste for the marrow of bones. All
the long bones of animals that are found
in caved dwellings are cracked open
lengthwise, in order to get out TIE mar
row. Now, this insufficient, uniform
food has its counterpart in the low grade
of culture which then prevailed, as evi-
denced by the mode of life, the weapons,
and the tools. Man then lived isolated,
without social organization; he dwelt
in caverns, and his only protection
against cold was the skins OF animals
and the fire on the hearth His tools
were of stone, unpublished, unadorned;
so rudely fashioned that only the eye
of the cennoisseur can recognize in
them mans handiwork

MONEY MUSK.

NUM- munA.
In shirt of check and tallowed hair
The fiddler sits in the bulrush chair
Like Moses basket stranded there
On the brink at the Father Nile.
He feels the fiddle's slender neck,
Picks out the notes with thrum and check;
And times the tune with nod and beck,
And thinks it weary while.
All ready? Now he gives the call.
Cries Honor to the ladies y! All

And ebb in happy smile.

Whirls Mary and Martin all in blue
Calico gown and stockings new,
And tinted eyes that tell you true,
Dance all to the dancing sound;
She fits about big Moses Brown
Who holds her hands to keep her down
And thinks her hair golden crown,
And his heart turns over once
His cheek with Mary breath is wet,
1t gives a second somerset
He means to win the maiden yet.
Alas for the awkward Ounce!
Your stoga boot has crushed my toe!'

Like midges gay in sunbeam street

And have brought their roses out
