EDITORS RIVER FALLS JOURNAL:
Arriving at Minneapolis, on the ev-
ening of May 5th, l soon learned of
quite number there contemplating a
trip to Montana ria. Bismark. Mr..
Frank Gray and myself soon became
acquainted, and departed with them on
Thursday the Sth inst. taking the
Northern Pacific r. r. to Bismark, at
which place we took passage on the
pairing for her up river trip. | am
thankful that / fell in with the Min
neapolis party for they have made the
trip very pleasant and have been ex-
cellent company. 1t is a long trip
from Bismark to Fort Benton by the
Missouri river and will consume eleven
days. We have passed through avid
and romantic country, inhabited by
Indians and swarming with game of
all kinds, including buffalo, deer, ante
lopes and elk. In some localities we
saw large herds of Buffalo grazing on
the mountains. There are several
military forts of Importance on the
river, and three or four Indian agen-
cies where good old Uncle Sam exhib-
its his generosity by dealing out grub
and blankets to those red devils.
A trip like this sometimes becomes
monotonous but having good company
and such variety of scenery it is very
agreeable. We will reach Fort Benton
Mt the head of navigation, this after
noon. at which point our party will
separate. some taking private convey
ance. and others the stage overland for
inland points. Frank Gray and my
self take tomorrow morning coach
for Butte City, a distance of 200 miles
from Benton. and if we have good
weather, we anticipate pleasant rip.
Yours Truly,
HUGH CAMERON.

Decoration Day at Lake city.

At the first sound form the chanti-
cleer we were awakened by the COM
handing voice of Capt. Thomas, say
ing that the morning meal was ready;
coming from the land of dreams with
our eyes half open commenced the first
decoration of the day--that of making
our toilet-which is the most import
ant pirt of female loneliness, but as
that decoration is not a patriotic du-
ty, we will not attempt to describe it
here. The toilet being completed We
sat down with little relish for the
bounteous breakfast. but after riding
eight miles over a rough road our
spirits were revived and appetites
sharpened.
Arriving at Maiden Rock we took
the steamer which was to convey us
to Lake City. With the pleasant
scenery around us and our pleasant
company, the time for landing came
too soon. After dinner we repaired to
lliC tlibiAC IOuCC Wb0lC OhC
were placed in military order. First
came the band followed by the SOL
diers, who were about so in number,
marching in pairs with Capt. Thomas
for their leader; then followed the
hearse which was filled with bouquets
and trimmed with flowers and the flag
of our Union. Then came the most
lovely sight of all, which was seventy
girls all dressed in white, each carry
ing wreath on her arm. How fresh
and beautiful they looked, some verg-
ing on to womanhood; some skipping
along trying to keep up to the rest,
| realizing but little of the aching hearts
of many friends whose loved ones had
| lived and died for their country. The
citizens came afterwards and then fol-
lowed those favored with carriages.
Arriving at the cemetery soldier
bearing flowers was stationed at each
soldiers grave, also two little girls,
one at the head and one at the foot
with wreaths in hand, until the cere-
monies were completed which consist
Ell of appropriate airs by the band,
followed by a prayer, then an Grafton
| by Rev. Benedict and short speeches
| by Rev. Fiske and others. At signal
of the band the wreaths and flowers
were laid upon the graves. Then the
procession marching in the same order
returned to the city and the band ac-
companied the Wisconsin braves to the
boat.
After a pleasant ride with Capt.
hurry we returned home satisfied
with the day, but very tired.

The Evolutionary and Musical enter
tainment, which was to have been
given last THURSDAY evening by d. NJ.
Woodbury. and others, was postponed
on account of the storm until
Friday evening, when fair audi
ence was present. While all rem
dered their respective parts with
credit to themselves and to the delight
of the audience, the reading of "Sam
Lawson and the Deacon" by Miss Jen-
ME Blakeslee, was especially good,
and showed a rare natural gift for elo-
cution. The "Reprieve, by Miss
Foote and an extract from Dickens by
Miss Stanclift were also noticeable. Mr..
Woodbury. read in his usually inter
eSting style, and held the close atten-
ton of the audience, especially in ''Jim
Bludso.'' The piano duet by Miss
Pratt and Mr.. Johnson was rendered
in a very artistic manner. The vocal
duet by Mrs. Burhyte and Mrs. Moody,
and the solo by Mrs. Burhyte were
among the best we have ever heard.
