q 1t sounds well, coming from the Hiawatha
Herald, to call Mr.. Perry the Democratic eandi-
date, of Troy, when everybody in Brown County
knows that the Herald, last Fall, tried to elect
set of the wosrt kind of Democrats to the County
offices, and abused the Republican ticket just
as it is now abusing the Chief and "Gonsing,"
but wheeled around the moment its ticket was
scooped, announced that it was Republican pa
per, and commenced fawning upon the County
officers for patronage.

(The bravest band in all the land.
That wore their Country's blue)
Dishonsr never stained his name.
Defeat he never knew.
OH Custer, Of the golden locks.
And heart that knew no fear.
The land that honors heroes dead,
Shall hold thy memory dear;
No lack Of praise from bearded lips
No dearth Of womans tears.
On all the Southern battle-helds,
Where fell our Nations pride,
No truer soldier ever fought,
No braver ever died,
Than rest within those deep rayines,
Or by the river side
Be scorned. the envious voice would cast
Reproaeh upon the brave,
To blast the laurels on the brows
Asleep in honored graves,
Who died from worse than carnage red.
Our Western homes to save.
No lions in the jungles thick,
Or wild beasts in their lair,
Were half so cruel rs the foes
Who lay in ambush there;
Not all their savage lives were worth
Brave Clusters golden hair.
The story Of that fierce attack,
Not one was left to tell,
OF all the brave three hundred
Who perished where they fell,
When warriors from each wild ravine
Swarmed up like fends from hell
Let vengeance swift their track pursue,
Till not one lodge remains
To shelter In its hostile folds
The terror Of the plains;
Then Custer and his gallant band
Shall not have died in vain.
