NATURAL DAM PICNIC,

The barbecue at Natural Dam, on the
18th inst, was a success. as is usual with
every undertaking of the good people OF
Lees Creek. This was an old fashioned
barbecue, where they had the greatest
variety Of meats, from kid to beef, fresh
from the pit of glowing Goals, all of
which was served up. together with a
great profusion Of delicaces and sweet
meats. contributed by the good ladies' of
that section, to some five hundred per
sons. Addresses were delivered by
Hon. G. Wilcox and Berkeley Neal,
Esq, of Van Buren,, Rev. Mr.. Mote, of
Lees Creek, and Dr.. Furguson, of
Evansville; after which dinner was had
and the people began to scatter around
in groups under the shady boughs of
the various forest beauties on the
grounds. The older ones in social chit
chat and interchange of ideas and con-
gratulations, the younger ones to the
pleasant grass plot selected tor the merry
dance. In due time the crowd departed
to their homes. with light hearts aud a
better feeling towards each other and
mankind generally.

A General History of Connecticut was
issued in England in 1881. The author
was compelled to flee from Connecticut
on account Of his opposition of the Blue
laws. He sent number of copies Of it
to Connecticut, but its truthfuiness was
so unpalatable to the Connectcuters they
collected the copies and had them burn
ed by the public hangman. But truth
has an ugly habit of rising again even
when burned to ashes In March last a
copy Of the original work was sold at
auction for one hundred and fifteen dol
lars. The work is now reprinted by the
Appletons, with notes and additions sub
Stimulating the authors statements. The
following are some Blue laws pilloried in
the book:
"No food or lodging shall be afforded
to a Quaker, Adamite, or other Hereto
"If any person turns Quaker, he shall
be hanished, and not suffered to return
upon pain Of death.
mo Priest shall abide in the Domin
ion: he shall be banished and suffer death
on his return. Priests may be seized by
any one without warrant.
No one shall read Commonplace,
keep Christmas or Saints day, make min
ced pies, dance, play cards or play on any
instrument Of music except the Drum,
| Trumpet and Jewsharp.
No one shall run on the Sabbath day
or walk in his garden or elsewhere, ex-
cept revercntly to and from meeting.
NO one shall travel, cook victuals,
make beds, sweep house, cut hair or
shave on the Sabbath day.
mo woman shall kiss her child on
the Sabbath or fasting day.

The OPPOSITION OF MARS Astronomers
are now waiting with great interest for
PHENOMENON which is to occur in few
weeks, and is to be observed with the ut
most care and assiduty, and with all the
appliances at the disposal of science. On
September the planet Mars will be sin
opposition" is, he will then be al
that point ofthe sky which is just oppo-
site the sun, SO that he will rise at sun
set, and come to the meridian at mid
night Since both the planet and the
earth sweeps in orbits around the sun, 1t
follows also that at that time they make
their nearest approach to each other, and
the planet is then most favorably sitna-
ted for observation and examination
In the early autumn Mars will be by far
the most CONSPICUOUS object in the eastern
sky blazing with red fire hardly inferior
or to the brightness of Venus. which by
that time will begin to adorn the western
twilight, and quite outshining Jupiter
Saturn, close by Mars, will seem compar'
lively of no account.-New York Times

ART PUBLISHING.


Few people are aware Of the wonderful
progress that Art has made In this country
during the last quarter Of n century. 1t Is
but few decades since that those who desir-
ea to adorn and beautiiy their homes were
Obliged to depend almost entirely on foreign
artists. But such Il state OF affairs In this age
of progress and improvement could not last
long with the great American people Gent

to the Gulf OF Mexico on the south. answered
the demand for beauty, taste and refinement,
and to-day our leading artists are not sur
passed by the leading modern masters of art

Great Art publishing establishments have
sprung up. and by various processes the fin

FORGIVENESS.

A soldier was about to be brought
before his commanding officer for some
offence. He was an old offender. and
had been often punished. "Here he Is

being mentioned, "aogging-disgrace-

sergeant stepped forward, and apologize.
ing tor the liberty he took, said "There
is one thing which has never been done
with him yet, SIR" "What is that 7"
said the officer. "Well, sir, said the ser.
gcant, "he has never been forgiven"
"Forgiven," exclaimed the colonel sur
prised at the suggestion. He reflected
for few minutes, ordered the cuiprt to
be brought in, and asked bin what he
had to say to the charger Nothing,
sir was his reply, "only l am sorry for
what have done" Turning a kind and
pitiful look on the man, who expected
that nothing less than that his punish
ment would be increased with the repeti.
ton of his offence, the colonel addressed
him, saying: "Well. we have tried
everything with you, and now we are
resolved to-forgive you" The soldier
was struck dumb with amazement. The
tears started in his eyes. and he wept

true:

Conceals the Paphian Queen;
Apollo robed in light divine,
And Pallas. the serene;
It only needs the lofty thought,
To give the glories birth;
And 10! by skillful fingers wrought,
They captivate the earth!
So--in the hardest human heart,
One little well appears,
A fountain In some hidden part,
Brimful of gentle tears;
1t only needs the master touch
OF loves or PHYS hand;
And 10 the rock with water burst
And gushes DER the land.
