the fiery hail of fight Yet it marched past the review

the representatives of the Old World all in gala dress no
doubted any that this the greatest army
that went to In that colossal and insuirinc
picture of Kaulbach which shows the legendary fight Of
Attila then on two fields and two contests the one be-
tween the soldiers striving in deadly combat on the turf
and the other shadowy battle in the upper air among
the ghosts of the heroes slain below So all hearts that

two armies the on its way homeward crowned with
love and aurels preparing its unseifsh disarma-

OF duty fulfilling the scheme of the Lord of Hosts
IN some activity about the clouds Thus they passed on

out of our sorrow into holy memories And with the
sweet and thrilling sounds of the buges and the rising
dust OF the columns smtten into golden glory by the sun
setting over Georgetown Heights passed away the heroic
age from Washington.

On q Northern field Of battle,
Lay soldier young and fair;
Soft the evening breeze blew DER hin
Tossing back, his auburn hair.
Sleep had closed his weary eyelids,
And sweet visions. DER him roam:
He was dreaming OF the dear ones,
He had left behind--at home.
Mother sitting by the fircsidc
Knitting stockings for her son;
Father close beside her reading

Paused TO hear II brothers name

Or among the list OF slain.
On tho fire the kettle singing
Table set and waiting tJ&.re,
There's his cup and plate all ready,
And he sees his vacant chair.
There's the clock upon the mantel,
There's the rosebud on the sill,
All are there just as he left them,
And he dreams he sees them still

All curled up just like a ball,

And he fancies he is with them,
There to tarry yet the while.

His heart all free from fear,
Soon the booming cannon sounding
Tells him that the foe is near.
Quickly starting for the contest,
Wide awake, he beats his drum,
Soon all nature is vibrating,
And the foemcn onward come.
Shots are flying thick and faster;
But the drummer's heart is brave,

Lay sleeping in his grave?

Each one well performs his part
Ho a rebel shot comes flying,
Pierces this young soldiers heart.

Place his drum down by his side;
Though so young he bore it meekly,
Like soldier true, he died.
Never more he'll beat the roll-call;
Never sound the reyeille,
He has given up his life blood
For the cause of fliberty.
Never more he'll see the faces.

DUEL, GRANT, coDlHe1oN AND uAmLln.

Editors Press and Dakotaiian You in
your issue of yesterday, copied an article
from the Inter, State, demanding that the
counties of Duel. Grant, C%odington and
Hamlin shall be represented in the new ap.
portionment.
Permit me to say that the insinua,ion IN
that article that the present legislature is
disposed to disregard the rights of these
counties is an uuwarranted assumption, dis.
courteous to The legislature, and especially
unjust to the house. And more, the article
does a fragrant injustice to the man who is
here as their representative spending his
time and money to promote the interest of
these counties.
The present legislature is in no way re-
sponsible for the Acknowledgement Of these
counties but is doing all that is possible to
correct the injustice that has been done
them. The house by a unanimous vote,
admitted the representative Of the counties
to a seat and a voice in that body, and the
members of both houses have unimformly
assured him that in the new apportionment,
the people of that district shall have all
the representation they can claim under a
just a~pportionment.
If the Interstate would represent the
sentiments of those who support il, it should
thank the legislature for the marked cour-
tesy already extended to their representa-
tive, and the assurance given that full JUS
tice shall be done and not ~irsinuate that
there is a disposition to do his people a fur

sEvENTERNTHz DAY.
GENERAL

GENERAL COMMENTS.
In our yesterdays report We stated tha
MI. Brown, of the house, asked to be, and
vas, excused from attendance until mex,
Monday. This was an error on the part O.
the reporter. Mr.. Brown asked to be ex'
cused for non.attendance on Monday last
and was so excused. In the confusion which
existed at the time, the reporter misinter.
preted Mr.. Browns request.
The bill upon which . call of the house
was made this morning and q final adjourn.
ment effected without q vote being reached
is Mr.. Kuykendall's bill, permitting any
rate of interest which may be contracted
upon between parties. Mr.. Kuykendsll lie
q member of the council from the Black
Hills and when the bill came to q vote in
the house it was discovered that the two
house members from that district were ab.
sent. Without deeming this an intentional
act upon their part, the house'thought it ad.
visable to procure their views upon the bill,
as it was made more particularly for the
benefit of their district, and the sergeant at
arms was sent out TO bring in Mr.. Flick
and Mr.. Whitfield. He failed to find the
former, whereu2on. the house adjourned
without action upon the bill, in order to
give the Black Hills members an opportu-
nifty to cast their votes upon the measure.
A bill was introduced to-day by Mr.,
Gundersou, of Clay county, providing for
the relief of the bondsmen Of r. ]. Simon
son, an ex.treasurer of Clay county, whose
money and books we're destroyed by fire.
The bill authorizes the commissioners Of
Clay county to credit Mr.. Simonson with
something over $4,000, the amount of his
shortage. 1t was introduced by MI. Gun
derson upon the petition of sixty nine citi-
zens Of Clay county.

~ Matters.
Correspondence Press s. Dakotaian.
The valley is in a terrible commotion
about the consolidation of counties. l find
no person in favor of it. A few who antici.
pate that the county seat might be located
upon their hundred and sixty by the con.
solidation speak as though it would be bet
ter to consolidate, but their chirp is very
weak, whilst those who oppose it openly are
very violent.
The great mistake was made by our for.
mer legislature, in increasing exem ption.
The law was liberal and no person asked an
increase Of property to be exempted. 1t did
almost convince US that the legislators make
the increase to cover their own hayward
ness. Rest assured that the man who now
reduces the amount of the present exemp.
tion will be a dead cock in the political pit.
Rumor says that the Springfield represen-
tatives (Bon Homme county people know
them only by the title) will again try their
hand to remove the county seat from Bon

do to move the court house but not the Jail,
as it would require a strong guard to lead
the prisoners to the river to water and wash.
From the promises made by the
vote hunters Of Springfield We
supposed that no action by
their representatives would be taken at this
time. If it be done, even embodying in the
bill the power by q majority vote, the
result will be that no move will be made
and the county will be put to a useless <
pensc and the dry lots of Springfield re-
uain unwatered. iGcntlemen of Springfield,
measure off and stitch up some legislation,
that will bring peace and comfort to your
constituents instead of strife and Jealousy /;
stop horse stealing, and prairie fires if you
can, by som severe legislation, and we will
ever pray.
