Cannon Falls Letter.
CANNON FALLS, Feb. %,


Editor Grange Advonce:-
Cannon Falls grange, No. 253, met
on the 22d, in regular meeting. After
the usual business had been disposed Of,
the question: (Which is the best ma
chine for cutting wheat now in use"
was discussed at considerable length.
Some advocated "heading," but the
Adams & French and Elwood harvesters
and Woods with Locks self-binder at
tached, had the majority of advocates.
The discussion was animated and, on
motion, was postponed till the next
meeting.
The people Of this locality have been
entertained by a colored gentleman, who
has been leeturing before them about
his travels in Africa with DR.. Living

esting, so much so that he is invited to
repeat it, which he will do on next We'd

The cantata Again.

a..
On Monday evening our citizens were
favored with repetition Of the Cautata
Of Daniel at Opera Hall. There was
great improvement in the costumes,
these being much more in character
with the piece than those used on the
former occasion, and being, besides,
more elegant and costly Several
changes were made in the details of
the; representations, which, with two
exceptions, were improvements. These
exceptions both occur in the scene
where Daniel is discovered at prayer.
The former conception is the proper
one. Daniel prayeth kneeling with his
face to the east. His figure fills the
foreground of the picture. The Per-
sian princes who discover him in this
attitude are playing the part Of spies
upon. his conduct. They require to
remain in the background, and continue
to play the part Of spies; and Daniel
has no business to vacate the stage to
afford them an opportunity of comm g
down to the foot-lights. The scene
was acted well, but we were sorry to
see these changes. They were out o 6
character with the plot.
If we were to attempt criticism
OF this performance we should insist
upon greater rapidlty of action, more
energy, increased passion, and prompt
er decision in nearly every scene. This
is Ill that was needed to make the pre-
sentation unexceptionable, and this is
a fault common to all amateur perform
ances, growing out of the difficulty ex-
perienced by actors to divest themselves
OF their own char acters and assume
those of persons they represent. They
are too fearful of OVERRIDING, and this
apprehension results in not fulfilling
their tasks. TO develope this beautiful
cantata to its utmost susceptibility
would require vast deal of careful
study and training, for it involves an
amount Of both passion and pathos
las these terms are now understood)
which are rarely combined in operate
or dramatic performances. From first
to last it is series Of startling miracles
of direct interpretations of Deity in
behalf Of His chosen people-and it is
hardly possible that any part can be
over-acted.
As it has been performed by Mr..
Raymond and his associates it is beau
titul and interesting, and no matter
how much adverse criticism they may
hear, those who took part in it may
safely challenge the critics to find an
amateur company that will; do better.
They may even challenge comparison
with professionals who have not made
it a special and patient study. The
solos were all sung we'll, and the cho-
ruses were prompt and ably sustained.
and whatever faults are found with
these must be laid at the door of the
composer, instead Of being charged to
either the performers or their director.

THE GREYS ON DECK AGAIN.
BY COL. JAMES FRANCIS KEEGAS.

Why, bless my heart, say, LUX hy'ar Jim,
When did you git to town;
Dog 'on Pm glad old boy to see you;
Come sit down
And we'll have a talk Of the ole, ole times,
OF the battles not fought in vain,
For our var of jubilee has come,
And the Greys on deck again.
It's many day since we last met
In the trench near the old mud fort
Where we oft times piled the Yanks up high
In the morn after good nights sport.
They scooped us in al the end know.
And it went a'gin our grain,
But Our var OF jubilee has come,
And the Greys on deck again
VINO do ye think that seed this morn
AS walked down the avenoo
But old Ben Sims, you know him well,
He war captain of gun number two
And he said as how we were fixed, by jung,
You oughter heard him proclaim
How he got the posish Of a one armed Iank
The Greys on deck again.
Congress is g'wlna to fix 'em now
And 10 teach 'em a lesson or two,
And we're g'wine to be paid for the niggers the
stole
With their army OF Boys in Blue.
Then wen shout hurrah for our Southern star,
For the land of the cotton and cane,
For our var of jubilee has come,
And the Grcys on deck again.

Tilden and Hendricks Cannot Get

TiIdCn ana 1cnUrlckS CdnHol uct
an Electoral Vote North of Ohio
River.
The Chicago Times. the leading demo-
cratic paper of Illinois, was opposed to
the nomination of Tilden and Hendricks.
and spoke its opinion of that ticket very
plainly as follows:
"Instead of sending the finance question to the
rear it would be plain attempt Of unprincipied
spoil seekers to place that and every other poti-
cal question of the time in the characteristic atti-
tude of Tom Hendricks, poised astraddle OF the
dividing line. Instead of bringing the two oppo-
site parts together, the effect would be simply to
fill all honest men on both sides Of the fence UiM
contempt for such double-faced trickcry. Instead
of q strong ticket Tilden and Hendricks would
probably be found the weakest ticket that could
be made. Tilden, without Hendricks, might
carry New York, were it not Tilden's nomination
would inevitably give Indiana to the Hayes party
in October. Hendricks, without Tilden, might
possibly (but not probably carry Indiana, but
certainly not New York, Connecticut, or New
Jersey. But Tilden and Hendricks combined
would be trademark Of political dishonesty that
all honest citizens mould spurn. 1t pould not get
an electoral rote north Of tho Ohio Rirer. For
Tilden to swallow Hendricks and survive is an
imaginable possibility. For Hendricks to swallow
Tiden and survive is an imaginable possibility
But for Tilden and Hendricks to swallow each
other and survive is plainly not within the bounds
of things possible"

The democratic papers have found new ground
of complaint against Governor Hayes He is,
they allege, "a dandy" The Philadelphia Bull
letin suggests that the ground of this accusation
probably is that Mr.. Hayes takes couple of baths
week and sends reasonable number of shirts
to the wash. The democratic ideal of a statesman
who is not foppish is Mr.. Henry Clay Dean, who
uses soap only once in each leap-year, and who
dons clean shirt semi-annually, even then put
ting it ON over the former one. We have been
accused of making political capital from the en-
sanguned shirt, and it does seem odd that we
should have to go into the campaign waving a
clean one.-N ozark Courier

den's colors are white flag inscribed 1861.
Prominent democrats in North Carolina have
become convinced of their folly, and have turned
their back upon the wicked past, coming out for
Hayes and Wheeler.

There are at least 10000 Liberals and German

A Cold BlOOded Massacre.

While Mr.. Cox in Congress and the
democratic organs of the North ridicule
the Hamburg slaughter as a bloody
shirt" affair got up for political effect, the
Charleston, Is. CO. News and Courier, a
democratic newspaper, denounces the
massacre as horrible crime, and finally
describes it as follows:
..There was no earthly doubt that the
whites, without authority, undertook to
disarm body Of cOlOred men, and that,
when the fight that ensued was over, five
Of the captive negroes, unarmed and
defenseless, were killed in cold blood.
These facts stand unc0ntradicted to this
hour, and upon these facts, and none
other, we based our denunciatiOn OF the
crime"
For this honest statement OF the simple
truth, the News and Courier has been
repudiated by the democracy of South
Carolina. and the editor stands an excel
lent chance of becoming target for some
of Sitting Bull Buffers white line regula-
tors.
