its wonderful LIE Due had left ita borders to
take the agricultural helm, but LIE Due was
sunk into lnslgnihcance when it was known
that a live President was to be here. More
than this, there were to be the President and
LIE Duo jointly, and such an avalanche of great
| ness was almost too much for one small town
to endure. When the old sandy bearded and
white-hatted seed dispenser of the national bu-
reau set foot in Hastings, he at once assumed
an air of Importance which he had not before
displayed since he left Chicago, and it was de-
| Eghtful to behold him sailing about in the
| crowd of awe-stricken citizens, smiling a
sweet and self-satisfed SMILE hob-nobblng with
grangers, and making himself generally the
| most oficious parsonage in existence. 1t was
| the first time LeDuc had had opportunity
to rise to the surface, and as it would probably
| be the last, he made the most of it, and took
| every opportunity to impress the people with
the dignity of his position and the great i'm
| portance of the agricultural bureau.
| There was, of course. great cOncOurse OF
people at the depot to receive the president, and
| they at once began to let off the surplus
enthusiasm witch had been swelling within
them, just as soon the train approached.
Flags were flying from the various buildings of
the city. the streets handsomely decorated and
everything betokened gala day for the hand

crossed the bridge gun which was planted
| near the depot began firing the Presidential
salute.
THE GREETING.
On the arrival of the train three rousing
cheers were given by the great crowd that had
gathered to see live President. The band
struck up lively air and salute of thirteen
rounds was fred from noisy piece in the

party were taken in charge by Mayor Lambert
and the chief marshal Gen. G. P. Adams. The
party were conveyed in carriages through the
main streets amid throng Of people and thou
sands Of banners, with the old twelve-pounder
in the public square pealing forth round after
round in rapid succession, headed by the Hast
ings cornet band. The party were taken over
to the Vermillion to look at the wonderful
gorge and the falls that tumble over mural
abutments hundred feet in height.
THE PRESIDENT AsToNIsHED.
At the falls all hands stepped out of the car
riages and instinctively raised their hats as if
in the presence of majesty. The President
was not looking for that kind of surprise.
The great fall with the mighty chasm over
powered him, and it was some time before he
could fine tongue to speak. Mrs. Hayes thought
it would be dangerous place for children.
Fifteen or twenty minutes at the falls and the
General LeDuc where a banquet await
ed them. This was partaken of with
zest that comes of the b-acing climate of
Minnesota. and a little brisk exercise among
her people.
RECEPTION AND SPEECH MAKING.
Feasting over, and the party returned to the
ccurt house, where, for an hour ana a half a
reception held. From the front entrance
of the building temporary platform had been
erected, carpeted and decorated with flowers,
evergreeps and banners, and above all perched
a live American eagle in all his glory. He was,
indeed most royal bird, and he looked down
upon the multitude as if he took in the
occasion. Of course the platform was
accorded to the distinguished guests and
one or two members of the press among which
the GLOBE representative was rendered the seat
of honor. dense throng gathered in the
court house square. There had assembled a
general outpouring of Dakota county and
large fraction of Wisconsin. A half dozen FIVE
minute speeches were INDUCED in with the
President acting as master of cere-
monies. The address of introduction
of the President was by Mayor Lam
bert, and the address Of welcome was delivered
by the chief marshal, Gen. Adams. Both adj
dresses were short but appropriate. The re-
marks of the President were brief expressions
of congratulation and gratitude. He was fol-
lowed by Gen. Devens in about the same strain.
Gen. Sibley then introduced and made
few telling remarks. The next speaker was
the rutabaga hero, LIE Due. After LIE Due
came John Jones' Of Ohio, who was full of
hnmor and told some pleasing stories. Sena-
tor Butler, of South Carolina, was the next
speaker called for, but he did not make his
appearance, and Col. Yancy, Of Georgia, fol-
lowed with some very eloquent and feeling re-
marks
was then loudly called for. She was escorted
to the speakers stand and cheer upon cheer
went up from the multitude on her appear
ance. 1t was now 5 O'clock the reception
broke up and the party returned to the train
and proceeded on to Red Wing, where a sim
liar programme awaits them.

HASTINGS, Sept. 9.-President Hayes and
party left st. Paul at 1875 this morning and
arrived at Hastings at o'clock. The space
about the depot was densely packed with per-
sons. large delegation of prominent men re-

and cannon firing. The party took carriages
provided to Vermillion Falls, from there toIthe
residence of Gen. LIE Due, in the suburbs, bands
and citizens escorting. Mrs. LIE Due served an

informal and extremely social manner. At 8

temperance societies, and citizens, with brass
bands, accompanied the party to the court
house, where on a platform erected for the pnr-

and the President only briefly extended thanks.
calling on Gen. Devens, attorney general, who
stated that the President seldom shifted
responsibility on the members of his cabinet,
but usually attended to matters himself. He
referred briefly to his recollectons of Mime
sofa soldiers during the war, and said he was
pleased to meet them again in a time of peace
and compare the change in condition of affairs.
At the time of the war for independence, a
great wilderness stood between here and the
ocean. Now great States spread over the
country beyond. We have crowned ii in the name

empire. He had visited regions
and that will be ultimately peopled

and power let it's noblest growth be men and

Col. Yancey, of Georgia, eloquently spoke OF
the good feeling exhibited by the Northwest to
their Southern brothers. Gen. H. 81. Sibley
welcomed the President in the name of the
Democracy of Minnesota. Judge Thos c.
Jones, of Ohio, made pleasant remarks and
hoped to see the Northwest cut up into 100 acre
farms. The President presided over the meet
