FOUND IN THE GRASS.
BY M. QUAD.

BYM. QUAD.
A squadron of cavalry, riding slow
Across the plains, in search OF the loe
Which was ever ahead.
The red mans trail man be plain TO the eye,
And the hunters may chase as the crow ooln
They will ever be led.
For the red man rides with lightning speed,
No rest for rider-no rest for steed
Till the hidden lair is won.
The soldier in chase will tire or fall
Worn by the race or struck by Dali,
Leaving his work undone.
Hills to the right as the squadron rode
A guch to the left-a streamlet no"eo
From far-off Mount Despair.
The flowers were up, the grass was green,
And a pleas'nter spot was never seen
In the red demons lair.
The iron shoe of the Captains gray,
Rang against something hidden away
In the viOlets blue.
It wasn't a stone which made the sound,
Nor bones of buffalo strewn around,
Twas more like shoe to shoe.
A moments search on prairie green,
And trooper found an old carbine-
Rotted the stock away,
Twas soldiers gun-a relic sad
OF battle fierce with the red man had
At some long distant day.
And near at hand was a a heap OF bones,
And the soldiers spoke in lower tones
AS they gathered around.
Gnawed by the wolves and bleached by tn
sun,
Tossed about as the buffalos run
No burial yet had found
Two overcoat buttons, red with rust,
Hidden away in the soldiers DUST
We quickly brought to light
rub or two-the letters were bold
Company G''-the story was told
To the squadron Alright
Company G and Sixth Michigan
The buttons were passed from man to man
Handled with tender care.
They knew the regiment-knew the man
Knew who had led them across the PLAIN
With his loud ringing cheer.
"In line-right dress-let US give cheer
To the mem'ry of the brave man here
Now then: Hip! hip. hooray!'
last salute to soldier dead!
Each trooper, with uncovered head,
Bowed as he rode away.

scarcely weeks intermission, since the first

of commission merchants have been quite

DO not forget that the great Dry
Goods house Of ID. w. Ingersoll & Co
of Third and Wabasha streets, st.
Paul, Mimi, established more than
twenty years ago, places the very
best goods at the very lowest prices
in the reach of all the people wheth-
er they live in st. Paul, or on the
fYontiers.
Their policy is to buy for
cash in New York, Boston, Phil
adelphia and the other great
markets of the east, taking advantage
of the depressed condition of the
market, and sell for cash to their Gus
toners in Minnesota. In this way
they are able to place dry goods with
in reach of the people of this State
at very small percentage higher
price than similar goods could be
bought for in the east.
Andthey supplement this great ad-
vantage by an ''order business which
brings the cheap goods within the
reach of the farmers of the State. and
of those living upon the remote
frontier. This system is as follows:
The person desiring to puschase

the kind of goods therein referred to.
Messrs. ID. w. Ingersoll d {. by re-
turn mail will send him a small
package of samples, each marked with
its price. The purchaser then CON-
pares the fabric and the price with the
goods III his slocal stores, and II he
finds, as we think he will, that the
goods offered by Messrs. Ingersoll 4
Co. are much better and cheaper, he
encloses the sample which he selects.

express or in q registered letter. for
the amount of the proposed purchage.
If he does not receive goods to cores
pond with the samples sent, Messrs.
Ingersoll & Co. will take them back
and correct the error or return the
money.
We would Suggest to our readers to
try the experiment. Take postal
card and send for samples and then
Judge for yourselves whether it will
pay you to make an order.l

The Harrisburg. Pa, Patriot, is
one of the papers that claims the Re-
publican success in Wisconsin as a
a hard-money victory. What are the
facts? The Decentralization party
polled $4,000 votes, and the Demo-
cratic party having strong Green
back platform and stronger Green
hacker as it's candidate for Governor,
polled $4,000, making total of IS, 900,
against the $4,000 polled for the
Republican ticket. According to these
facts and figures, Greenback principles
were victorious in Wisconsin by
10000 majority. Can the Patriot
prove the to contrary?
