For truth to Honor's cause and Right
For purpose pure and manly m got
To serve Columbia in her need,
Nor count the cost nor vaant tle decd
Let them, as Leaders, be our boast,
Cheering on the freeman host,
To wage once more the glorious fight,

As we did four years ago;
Thus again our prize shall be,
Good old.fashioned victory
Boys in Blue. you hear the drum
TO its stirring music come,
Aud though no weapons in your hands,
No bugle sounds for warlike bands,
A battle waits you noblcr far
Than oft you won meath Stripe and star
The foe III met you not as men,
But-when field, or prison pen,
Assailed your lives-yonr votes denied,
BY your ballots must be tried.

For Union reigns from sea to sea,
And 10, the former bondman, free,
No longer bowed, hopeless slave,
Sustaining the Flag that Freedom gave.
To guard that Flag, mid lannon's blaze,
Flashed the loyal sword of Hayes,
And he shall bear 1t now, when Peace

And field and forum, haply blent,

Centennial Picnic Ground.

We spent last Friday afternoon
in ramble over the town site Of
the ancient village of Wacouta,
within which Mr.. Elijah Brown is
fitting up his splendid "Centennial
Picnic Ground. This ground con-
sists of a large grove, which he has
cleared Of underground and grubbed
effectually, and supplied with a table
sufficiently capacious for hundred
persons, a speakers stand, whirligig
or *tround swing," booth for the sale,
Of confectionery; ice-cream, lemon
ade, ETC., numerous seats, and every
thing needed by picnic parties.
Leading from the grove to the shore
Of lake Pepin is a broad, substantial
stairway with hand-railing, and in
the lake he proposes to keep a sup
ply of boats for those who fancy
going a fishing, or "a life on the
oceans wave."
AT the foot of the stairway is a
splendid steamboat landing, the
Wacouta railroad station is only
few rods distant in the opposite di-
rection, and the approaches by car
riage roads are good from several
directions. We don't know that we
ever saw place combining so many
attractions for pleasure. parties.
Mr.. Brown has provided a supply
Of ice for water, lemonade and ice
cream, and when fish is desired his
nets are always ample to procure
the best. He proposes to allow the
grounds and dining-tables to be used
free, but will charge a small fee for
riding in the swing and using the
boats, and will also have the bene-
fit Of sales from the booth,
1t is exceedingly appropriate that
this ground should be used for
centennial Fourth Of July celebra-
ton, for it was here that the first
celebration of the Fourth in this
county was held, and we shall give
an account of that ancient festival
next week.

contemptib;lity Exposed. 5,

A story was current last January
that Miss Ida Sweet, who succeeded
MI. David Blakely as pension agent
in Chicago, had been compelled to
pay Blakely, Campbell and Logan
several thousand dollars in order to
obtain her appointment and retain
the position. The charge was, of
course, denied by the accused and
Miss Sweet was induced to make a
statement sustaining such contra
diction.
On Monday last, however, Miss
Sweet was examined before con-
gressional committee and testified
that, in consideration of receiving
the appointment, she had agreed to
pay David Blakely $4,000, and on
his order did pay it to Mr.. B. H.
Campbell, Of Chicago, U. S. Mar
chal and father-in-law of Gen.
Babcock. That MFR. Campbell de-
manded of her, besides, the balance
due on a note for $1,000 given him
by Blakely, claiming that the under
standing was that she was to pay
the entire note. And that she had,
also, had to pay $1,000, being the
amount of a deficiency which Blake
ly owed the government when he
quilted the Office, and which he in
duced her to cover in her receipts
to him by the promise that he would
make it up to her in a short time,
which promise he never performed,
and that she had to lose that
amount.
She stated, in addition, that Mr..
Baker, Commissioners of Pensions
at that time, knew of the Circum-
stances of Blakely's defalcation, and
that he visited her office in company
with the latter and demanded the
immediate payment of the same by
her and that she raised the money
and paid it over. Here is a clea,
case of the robbery of a defenceless
women out of $1,000, if Miss Sweets
statement proves to be true; and il
it is untrue that fact can certainly
be shown. Hence, if Messrs. Blake
ly, Baker and Campbell fail to dis.
prove the charges promptly and
fully, they deserve to be and will be,
socially and politically, auaMema
marauatAa now and forever.
