man, as they passed the stall where
the sleeping animal was leaning up
against the partition, dreaming of
an Eden wherein there was but one
mule and thousand timid men,
s'this mule is a kicker.'' "This
one?' innocently inquired The young
man, laying his hand upon the
mules hustle to be sure that the
proper animal was indicated.

said he didn't mind the loss of the

To Be Investigated.

The House of Representatives, on
Friday last, by strict party vote, de-
cided to investigate the frauds alleged
to have been committed by the florida
and Louisiana returning boards in the
Presidential election of 1875. The
bottom facts viii therefore most proba-
bly be made known, and steps taken
to prevent the occurrence of such a
disgrace in the future. The Republi-
cans, it is thought, will introduce reso-
lusions, providing for the appoint
ment of . COMMITTEES TO investigate
alleged frauds also in Mississippi and
South Carolina. The public will await
the result Of the investigation With the
greatest anxiety.

ASSOCIATION OF CAMDEN, MAY

The readers of the JOURNAL will pc

instructive address Of General Chesnut,
which, in accordance with our promise.
we now lay before them. Being intro
duced by Col. E. B. Csntey, General
Chesnut spoke as follows:
Ladies of the Memorial association Of

with pure hearts, and elevated minds

sweet remembrance Of worthy heroes,
who gave their lives to uphold the good
cause of their country, We come this day

Your purpose, my friends. does hon

II seems to be an injunction Of Nature.
But in honouring the dead, we ought to
seek to honour virtue. Otherwise our
efforts would be dcceitfal, empty and

homage to the memory oftbc comrades
who have gone before MS, we will honour
the virtues which wero conspicuous

What touching spectacle is this day
before us ! In every part Of the land
We behold our Mother-State bowling
her majestic head in sorrow over the
graves of her sons. But no tear OF
shame falls from her eye. An honest

Only a private! his jacket Of gray
Is stained by the smoke and tho dust
As Bayard he Is brave, as Rupert he is gay,
Reckless as Murat in heat of the fray,
In God is his only trust.
Only private to march and TO fight,
To suffer, and starve, and be strong;
With knowledge enough, to know that the
might
OF justice, and truth. and freedom, and
right,
In the end must crush out the wrong.
Only private! no ribbon or star
Shall gild with false glory his name!
No honours for him in braid or in bar
Ills cross Of the Legion is only scar,
And his wounds are his role of fame.
Only private one more hero slain
On the field lies silent and chill,
And in the far South wife prays in vain
One clasp of the hand she shall ne'er clasp
again,
One kiss from the lips that are STILL
Only private then let him sleep,
lie will need no tablet nor stone,
For the grasses and vines DER bis grave
will creep,
And at night the stars through the clouds
willpeep,
And watch him who lies there alone.
Only martyr! who fought and who fell
Unknown and unmarked in the strife,
But still, as he lies in his lonely cell,
Angels and Seraph's the Legend shall
tell
Such death Is eternal life"

INDEPENDENCE DAY.
IT'S OBSERVANCE IN THIS CITY

IT'S OBSERVANCE IN THIS CITY.
The Fourth was ushered in as usual
with ringing Of bells and firing Of can
non, much to the disgust Of numerous
citizens who objected to having their
matutinal slunbers thus disturbed. At
ten o'clock a procession consisting of
bands of music, fire department, civic
societies ETC., formed on Market square
and moved to the Park where the usu-
al exercises were held. A grand dis
play of fire works attracted a large
crowd to the Park in the evening.
Owing to the brief notice, but few per-
sons from the country were present
and general lack of enthusiasm char
acterized the day. The north sides
made elaborate preparations md cele-
brated in true German style. Social
parties were held at Schend's and
Schoffen's Halls. Numerous citizens
preferred spending the day among the
woods and, as. a consequence, picnics
prevailed in every direction. A grow
ing tendency is manifest, to do ava
with the old style noisy celebration
and we may safely assert that it will
soon become a thing Of the past.

THE FOURTH IN PLEASANT
PRAIRIE.

A small but appreciatiVe audience
gathered on the Picnic Grounds known
as STAIRS Grove, where they listened to
a rare treat, being no other than an
address by Hon. j. Y. FarVell, of Chi
cago.
Mr.. Farwell began with our early
history, went back to the government
from which our nation sprung, show
ing that the power and stability of that
government was owing to it's adher-
ence to principles of right as laid down
in the Bible. He said that the trainers
of our government were not culls Of
British society; they represented the
best blood Of the British Kingdom.
Coming here to obtain religious free
dom, they afterwards acquired politi-
