Mr.. Bryant has not written many lines
that have been universally adopted. But his
is the immortal quotation:
Truth crushed to earth shall rise again;
The eternal years of Cod are hers:
But Error, wounded, writhes with pain,
And dies among his worohipers."
It will be observed that the poet was chiv-

LOCAL NATTER.
Commencement Day at Seminary Notre
Dame.

On Thursday, June 9th, at p. NJ,
tho large hall erected on the green, and
it's spacious surroundings attached to
the Seminary, was crowded by an ad-
miring throng who came to be present
at the annual exhibition given by the
pupils attending the Seminary.
There were present on the stage, Rev.
p Clabby, of Masonville, Rev. John l..
Gosker, Of Independence, and, on re-
firing side seat, the Sisters, and the
Mother Superior of the Sisters Of Mercy
from Davenport, were also present.
The Sisters Of Mercy have charge,
and sisters NJ. stanislaus, Qencyeive and
Xavier, must be congratulated on the
fine appearance and amable department
Of their pupils upon that occasion,
There was good taste shown in making
out the programme, and for it's rendition,
nothing better could be done. 1t opened
with a march triumphal, rendered on
piano and organ by Misses Colby, of
Chicago, and Hunt, of Independence.
The pupils moved slowly and gracefully
to their places, All looked beautiful
and happy, and why not? With father,
mother, brother and sister near them,
and no doubt each humming softly and
sweetly to herself, Home, Sweet Home"
When all were quietly seated, Miss
Alice O'Brien, an interesting little girl
of nine years, addressed the audience in
behalf Of the junior department, with
an ease and grace unusual for one so
young. A crown of honor was given
her, after being chosen queen Of the
flowers, she personating the rose. She
looked beautiful, and maintained her
queenly dignity throughout the cx-
ercises.

Miss Frances E. Colby, of Chicago, is
truly worthy Of special mention. Both
were rendered in faultIess manner,
and won the hearty applause Of all pres
ent, who were held spell bound, as it
were, during the whole time she was
speaking. Miss Colby graduated, and
the manner in which she acquitted her
self throughout the entertainment, at
tested the thoroughness of her training
by the Sisters, and she starts in life's
stream with promise Of bright and
happy future, which we wish her with
all our hearts. She is possessed Of rare
talents, and won for herself many warm
friends while attending the Seminary at
Independence, Iowa. 1t is difficult to
individualize on such an occasion, where
all do SO well, but the following deserve
special mention: Miss Ida Birmingham,
Miss Nellie Campbell, Miss Ransier,
Minnie Hunt, W. Birmingham, Eva
Clark, l.. Myers, +. Older, Sarah Ney,
Maria Kehoe, f. Kehoe, B. Galligan, NJ.
Galligan, B. Wengert, X. Wengert, j.
Colby, L. Devlin, Miss A. Griffin, A.
Stone, NJ. Lundy, M. Brown, Master
Fred Hunter, -. O'Brien, A. O'Bricn,
ID. Clark, c. Welch, and others who re-
ceived rewards of merit for the different
branches in which they excelled, and all
deserved honorable mention.
The exercises closed at about six in
the evening, and all went home happy
and well pleased with the entertainment
given at Seminary Notre Dame, under
the direction OF the Sisters Of Mercy.

TIE Dubuque Times makes great
flourish over what it calls the "unani-
nous action of the Republicans Of his
own county" in favor of Cooley. 1t is a
fact, nevertheless, that Mr. Cooley dared
not submit his candidacy to fair and
square issue in Dubuque county, but had
to resort to sharp practice and trickery.
The means employed to give him the
delegation, we have already laid before
our readers. The following, which we
received in the early part of the week,
will show the kind of Instruments used
for that purpose:
DUBUQUE, July 8, 1878.
Judge Toman. Independence Bulletin
DEAR SlR:-Allow me to congratu-
late you on being the lowest, sinking,
iieing demagogue Journalist in all Iowa.
The name OF ID. s. Wilson and dema-
gOgue are synonymous terms. Judge
Cooley and Judge Wilson differ as wide
j. mentally, morally and religiously, as
did Abraham Lincoln and Benedict Ar
pold. Judge Cooley would get almost
the entire Democratic and Republican
vote of Dubuque county and city, when
Wilson would not carry cOrporals-
guard. Be a man and publish this let
ter, and don't be a dirty, low reptile in
the grass. JAMES FUNSTON"
The man Funston, who spent his Sun
day in writing the above precious epis-
tie, is Matchmaking scoundrel, who has
been arrested once or twice, we believe
for connecting scandalous libels on rep
utable ladies of Dubuque, and seeking
to wiring money out Of their relatives as
the price of his silence. He is thrifty
jealous in the cause of Mr.. Cooley, and
is doubtless earning an honest penny in
the line Of his profession.

The Fourth mt JeSup.
.JESUp ,Julv 10Th 1873

JEsUP, July 10th, 1878.
EDITOR BULLETIN:-As Jesup did
not celebrate on the Fourth those of
our citizens who felt the immortal
flame of patriotism burning in their
breasts, or who wished to enjoy regu-
lar Fourth, went to other places that
did celebrate. A goodly number, how
ever, remained at home, and some of the
more enterprising ones inaugurated an
extemporaneous celebration on their
own individual hook. Anvils were fired,
lemonade imbibed and ice-cream demol-
ished with the zeal natural to patriots,
on our country's natal day. On the af-
ternoon a procession of antiques and
horribles, appropriately masked and
costumed, paraded the streets. The
leading feature of the programme, how
ever, was the wheel barrow exhibition.
The actors in the affair were highly
aristocratic lady, and young college
student of rare intellectual accomplish
ments. The former occupied the We
hicle as rider, and the latter supplied
the propelling power. Starting at Ken
yons corner, they passed east down
Aou"S oClCoC de d very CTeulIdDlc rate
OF speed, the lady cvincing high de-
gree of nerve in the riding of the pre-
carious barrow, and the young man ex-
hibiting great skill and remarkable pow
ers of endurance This closed the pro-
gramme for the day, and the partakers
in the exercises retired to their beds
that night, with self-congratulations on
not having permitted the Fourth to pass
by unObserved. w.

From Brandon.
BRANDON. July IL 1878

BRANDON, July II, 1878.
Ed BULLETIN:-The 4th passed off
very pleasantly and without any acct
dents. A large number of people came
out and all seemed to enjoy themselves
hugely. The band performed excellent
ly for beginners, The Grafton by Rev.
J. c. Kepford was full of good thoughts;
commencing with the early colonizing of
the States, commenting the character
OF our forefathers and the advancement
made in the first century of our exis-
tence as nation in the arts, sciences
and manufactures; our ability to cope
with any foreign power under the sun;
closing with an earnest appeal to be true
citizens of the State and nation.
Next came the best of all, the basket
dinner; ice cream and lemonade found a
ready sale, for most of the fellows APP
peared to have the nickel.
The match game of ball between the
Laporte and Brandon clubs was witness
ed by a large crowd, the prize being won
by the former, by score Of % to l. To
the credit of LapOrte we will say that
the boys conducted themselves like gen
tlemen, and as base ballists they are No.
|. The egg race was quite exciting.
The lovers of the dance spent most Of
their time in the bower during the day
and evening.
The popular drama, Among the
Breakers" was exhibited at the hall,
and was well worth a quarter. Thus
ended the lO2d anniversary at Brandon.
The evenings of the 9Th and 9th have
been occupied by Rev. d. P. Rathbone,
of New York, lecturing and working the
first and third degrees of speculative
Free Masonry. Large audiences were
in attendance. We believe he intends
to travel over the State and lecture
wherever desired.
We are at present disgraced with an
unprincipled drug store Beer is dealt
out by the glass, and it's demoralizing
influences are already felt in the COM
munity. We have not been cursed with
a saloon before, and it is now kept by
men who profess better things. It
seems strange that old men, in particu-
lar, in the midst Of temperance commu-
mites, should resort to such dishonora-
BILE and disgraceful business that will
lead men, especially the young, to ruin.

person to furnish him money to enable
him to leave between two days. This
prosecuted one then could go West,
start a paper, and propose to liberate
free and honest people! We heard Of
man who left the State Of New York, or
some other State, under these very cir.
cumstances, and actually did this thing
of proposing to help every man out Of
debt at one stroke! He started a paper,
avowedly in the interests Of the people.
Our people are obtusely honest; were
they to find out such proceedings as
this, their ears would be lead. Try an
honest method. How would it do to
have the government furnish every man
with an unlimited supply Of money in
blank, blank as far as amount is con-
cerned. Then, if Mr. A owes B IS, he
can go to his drawer, take out blank
and fill in a 5; B can prefix and with
this pay G $25; G can prefix to this l,
and pay ID 1925; D can prefix to this
3, and pay + 1925, and so on. Get our
money on this sliding scale, then there
will be no need of travelling in the night,
nor will there be any need of notes.
Maybe you are afraid of dying, and
take this method to allay your fears and
cheat old Time. We once read Of per-
son in authority, who instructed his sec
rotary to make out for him division of
his time. The secretary filed two large
volumes in appointing times for visits,
feasts, entertainments and cOnquests.
To carry out the programme would re-
quire the king three hundred years. At
the end of the second volume the secre-
tary wrote, ''For future occupation, see
third volume So you imagine great
things need to be done in Buchanan
county. If these things are as you rep
resent them, you must set your secreta-
ry at work at once. 1t will require more
than two volumes. We like greenbacks,
but we have a home paper. the Ad-
vocate, National Advocate We like
the name, and henceforth we shall read
it. From sun to sun affords its editor
ample time to work and travel. Let us
have consistency. Il.

For the information of those who
formed the Iowa editorial excursion
party in May, we desire to say that the
Miss Sherwood who, in company with
the editor hereof and his daughter, par
ticipated in that trip, was not the VIC
tim of the fearful tragedy of Saturday
night. The unfortunate girl was her
younger sister. We pen this in answer
to various inquiries from members of
the party, and because we notice that
one of our exchanges has made the mis-
take of identifying Miss Minnie with
Matte, the poor girl who made so tragic
an exit from this world.

THE course pursued by the Independ-
ence BULLETIN in opposing the nomi-
nation of Judge Cooley as the Republi-
can candidate for Congress in the Third
District, we should say is calculated to
seriously embarass the case of Mr.. Don
nan of its county. 1t is quite as i'm
portant to have little wisdom as it is
to be devoted to principle.-Sioan City
./OMrnal.
Making no point Of the fact that the
Journal is putting in its oar imperti-
nently, we beg it to dismiss its anxiety
about Mr.. Domains case in his own
county. 1t is not at all desperate, and
we are willing that the BULLETINS
wisdom shall be judged by the result.
If we interpret the above Alright the
Journals idea of wisdom is that it
should be exemplifed by covering up
knavery and corruption. In that sense
the BULLETIN never will be wise.
