A Fraternal Letter.
MILWAUKEE, WIS, August II, 1879.
PowER- Grand Secretary:


]. L. POWER, Grand Secretary:
DEAR BRo.-Your Report of the Epidemic
of 1878" was received to-day. As you say, 1t
is "a practical denomination of the generosity
and gratitude of the American people"
regret my inability to place it before all our
people. for feel it would annul the power OF
politicians to keep alive the damnable feelings
Of luminosity which, ] must acknowledge
pervades some portions ofthe Northern States
have sometime thought that the hand OF an
all-wise Providence was visible IN the suffer
ings of YOUR people, and the noble acts of our
Northern friends in trying to relieve their
sufFerines and tide them through the terrible
hurricane of death. 1t has no doubt brought
the hearts of the suffering ones, and those who
tried to relieve them, closer together; and the
sentiment that we are brothers and citizens
of one common country is gaining ground,
and the efforts of political 'hacks," to STIR up
strife and animosity are becoming more and
more futile every hour.
Nv sentiments are: Damned be he who
FIRST cries war;"
With love and respect, yours fraternaily,
JOHN w. Woodruff

Masons of Wisconsin,, during September and

respecting the actual acreage of cotton under
cultivation and the product of each county and
parish. Adopted.
The suggestion that Congress be memorable

was adopted
The committee recommended discussion on
the matter of tare or allowance OF any descrip-

As an elegant hair dressing stands Parker's
Hair Balsam, deservedly popular for the
beautiful hair it produces, and its cleansing
and healing properties. Commencing at the
roots, it promotes a luxuriant growth of young
hair, and unfailingly restores gray or faded
hair to the original youthful color, giving a
soft, rich and lustrous appearance of great
beauty. 1t is pleasantly cooling to the scalp,
cleanses it from Dandrutf, cures itching and
humors, and stops falling of the hair. 1t is
perfectly harmless, exquisitely perfumed,
never soils the skin or gums the hair, and
pleases everybody by its many excellent and
attractive qualities. A patron assures us he
has used II different hair preparations and
that Parker's Hair Balsam supasses them all

The Condition of The Emigrants as
Described by Colored Republican.
Washington Correspondent St. Louis Globe.
lRep.)

Washington Correspondent St. Louis Globe.
Rep
WASHINGTON, D. c., August IA promi-
nent colored minister here, who has been more
or less active in politics, and who has just re-
turned from extended visit to Kansas, says
that he found many Of the Southern emigrants
in very deplorable condition that the cir
cumstances under which they left their old
homes were such that even those who had ac-
cumuated anything in the way of property
were unable to realize anything from the same.
In many instances they were compelled to sac
rifce it for barely enough to pay the expenses
of their journey, the great mass of the emf
grants, however, being almost totally destitute,
many of them so helpless that it will be neces-
sary to assist them for months, perhaps years,
to come. From his experience and observation
he is disposed to consider it very unwise for
his in the South to go further in this direc-
ton, except where their resources are such as
will give them more equal chance in the State
of their adoption.
