GARFIELD'S ELOQUENCE.

Garfield is mastery orator, be-
cause he is a deep thinker, has a clear
head, and his mind is filled with the
treasures Of the best books. He pos
sesses the rare combination of being
a scholar, and at the same time, a
practical man. At the dedication Of
a monument to the soldiers of the
Union army, at gainesville, Ohio, on
the third instant he uttered grand
thoughts; and, by singular beauty of
expression and of comparison, he
happily illustrated the debt of graf
itude which the people owe to the
thousands Of brave and true men who
volunteered in the Union army, and
who periled their lives, their health,
and all their sources of happiness,
that the nation might live, through
the sacrifices which they made. He
thus paints the horrors which they
endured from disease in. it's most re-
voting form, from the destruction of
their intellect, and from the cruel
suferings which tortured them at
Andersonville, Salisbury and Rich
mond;
To give up life is much, for it is to
give up wife and home and child and
ambition. But let me test you this
way, further Suppose this awfully
majestic form law should call out to
you and say: Il ask you to give up
health and drag yourself, not dead,
but half alive, through a miserable
existence for long years, until you
perish and die in your crippled and
helpless condition. I ask you to
do that. 1t calls for a higher reach
of patriotism and self-sacrifce, but
hundreds of thousands of you soldiers
did that. That is what the monu-
ment means also But let me ask
you to 60 one step further. Suppose
your country should say: ''Come
here ON this platform, and in my name
and for my sake consent to be idiots"
[ 4 voice Hear, hear! ~ econ
sent that your very brain and intellect
shall be broken down into hopeless
idiocy for my sake" How many
could be found to make that venture?
And yet thousands, and that with
their eyes wide open to the horrible
consequences, obeyed that call. And
let me tell how 100000 of our sol
diers we're prisoners of war, and many
Of them, when death was stalking
near, when famine was climbing up
into their hearts, and idiocy was
threatening all that was left of their
intellect, the gates of their prison
stood open every day if they would
quit, desert their flag, and enlist under
the flag of the enemy, and, out of
100. 600, not two per cent. ever receiv-
ed the liberation from death, starva-
ton, idiocy, all that might come to
them, but they took all these horrors
and all these sufferings in preference to
going back upon the flag Of their
country and the glory of its truth.

Berons Mill.

Saturday afternoon July 9th, we
embarked in Berons Carriage with
Miss Laura Boron, for Berons Mill.
We arrived there iii due time, and
found the 'sBeron Estate" badly dam
aged by the flood. We supposed the
city of Grand Rapids was badly dam
aged, and had suffered a great loss,
but the Boron Estate" alone, was
damaged to the amount of S10,00
which was supposed to be the loss of
our city, and has been left in d sur
prisingly desolate and destitute condi-
ton. The first place badly damaged
was the Island known as ''Berons Is
land forming the slough leading to the
mill. Half of the Island was washed
away changing the whole channe! of
the river, and washing away about
two acres of soil. Some seven or
eight buildings were more or less
wrecked and ruined, consisting Of
store houses, ware houses, graineries,
barns, etc, and took the underpining
out from under several others. There
was 100000 feet of logs belonging
to Boron and Edwards, piled up in
the mill pond about 90 feet high,
and others scattered over, what was
formerly Beron's farm. A slough was
also formed through the farm about 80
feet wide and from 5 to 10 feet deep,
which is now being filled with slabs,
etc making forsaken looking sight
of what was once beautiful farm and
garden.
We were informed by Francis Boron
that it was necessary to build about
1000 feet of dam, 500 of which is
already put in, and 500 feet more to
put in, before he will be able to run
the saw mill. He is in hopes to get
things in order TO commence saving
the first of Aug. The mill itself was
not damaged only the track leading
from it, which was washed away
entirely. The Boron hill is known to
be second to none on the Wisconse
river. The loss of logs, booms and
property, to Francis, have been large,
but Francis like, he braves the storm,
and goes to work with a will and a
determination to succeed. He has a
crew of about so men, with 10. Dugas
and Peter Douville as superintendent,
building dams, houses, barns, and
repairing bridges. We are glad to
know that Francis takes his loss, with
good grace and goes to work to build
and repair, as if the food had never
been. and was to come no more.
While there, we met a good many
of our acquaintance, all of whom
spoke in high terms Of Garfield and
Arthur, and promise majority vote
for the Republican ticket this fall.

A. G.. Carey's Farm.

Among the many plcasantries which
[ with three associates ejoyed this week
while taking stroll though Seneca,
was cordial reception given US by
Mr.. and Mrs. Carey. Their most
beautiful residence, situated IS it is
in Edens loveliest spot with its grace
full circle of outrageous foliage and
gerden of fragrance around it, where
nature seem to vie with nature in its
exquisite expression of loneliness and
beauty, is indeed worthy of special
mention and solicits from all a good
taste in home locations. Everything
that meets the eye is highly pleasing
and picturesque. A natural grace and
neatness characterizes the yard. The
shade trees are neatly trimmed and as
comely as pictures. Farming nipple
ments c"zily housed, everything is in
its proper place and rule and system
are prime factors in every appearance
But this was not our best sight. The
brilliant promise of his golden autumn
harvest was yet unseen and while he
assured us that his crops were fine, we
could not fully appreciate it until we
could gaze for ourselves over the ripe,
yellow glistening stalks of wheat, and
the deep, green waving fields of oats,
rich and promising as the best crop
we have ever seen. 1t takes the
Lieutenant to farm with superelative
success. Scientific principles connect
ed with an untiring zeal and plans
based on modern agricultural educa-
ton, all cooperate to win the laurels.
Let all farmers model after him and
NIL this County with scientific agricul-
turisss and prosperity will reign su-
preme IN the rural districts.
After return, we enjoyed both a
musical and dining repast. such only
as we could wish for oftner. Mrs.
Carey's genial hospitability is IN
bounded. We feel highly COMPENSATED
for our too short visit to this pleasant
home and highly grateful for our warm
reception. A salubrious ride in his
comfortable barouche brought US again
to Centralia.
All we have to say to anybody who
desires a good tune. is just drive out
to Lieut.. A. C. Carey's.

on Friday evening. Though the hall

Gabe was through. We never heard
him do so poorly. We really felt
ashamed for our democratic friends as
so much had been expected Of him.

he said and repeated uttcrances over
and over again which were of no mo-

That Send Off.
EDITOR REPORTER ::

EDITOR REPORTER
For several weeks past We had been
encouraged by leading democrats to
look for it. We had been told to wait
till it burst forth and we would see
something that would make our eyes
open, and we would hear some things
which would make us writhe in the
agonies of despair. Something just a
little different than the gathering of
score of republicans for business
meeting, thrilled only by the eloquence
Of carpenter Reyes was to be, and
truth to tell we felt rather timid. And
day after day when we saw Bro. Nash
coming down the street with that
Hancock badge upon his breast. that
roll containing the names of dozen
unterrifed prOtuding from his pocket
and that triumphant smile upon his
countcnance, we almost forgot the
commandment ''Thou shalt not covet."
Then for week those head capped
posters daily reminded US that the
eloquent General (during the war he
ranked as COLONEL Gabe Bouck would
furnish the powder for the occasion,
and democrats were expected to grow
hoarse letting out little of the en-
thusaism with which they are suppos-
ed, by three or four, to be filled.
Well Messrs Editors Friday night
July 23d, 1880, is past and we yet
live, move, and have our being. Bouck
cleaning in purple and gold'-
tons-~after reciting his little speech,
six years old, has passed on and the
great democratic party may, like the
mountain, congratulate itself on haV-
ing been in great travail and brought
forth a mouse.
The first gun has been fired and the
treasury depleted by expenses of
printers ink, band bill, ETC., and yet
the boys are not happy They feel
that few more such send-offs as
Gabe gave them, and their republican
friends will have to appoint a relief
committee to gather the shattered frag-
ments of Democracy. The Tribune
editor la5ors through near a column
to show what a grand success the
meeting was, and this is we'll for his
party. His devotion to the cause is
thus demonstrated, but we noticed no
comments about the torrents Of ap-
plause that greeted the speaker; prob
ably it was all condensed into "The
sentiments Of those present as they
passed from the hall The fact is
the meeting was as wanting in enthu-
siasm as a hens forehead is of fat, but
who can blame it. One ought not
to expect figs from thistles nor cheer
where there is nothing to call it forth.
The eloquence of our friend Reyes
would have been luxury, democrats
themselves might envy when obliged
to feed on the forced combustion of
Bouck.
In conclusion, we are lead to reflect
that while it is doubtless true that a
little spark may kindle great fire, it
is equally true that great smoke may
be caused by mighty small fire.
That Democratic enthusiasm like the
eloquence of Gabe Bouck is a sort Of
reserve force which the issues Of the
present campaign are as impotent to
develop as were those under Greeley,
eight years ago.
Yours for the present,

The last issue of the Mansfield
Times has this to say of suicide that
took place near there:
Mr., Thomas Wifi, living some FIVE
miles from here, near McMillans mill.
As near as we can learn the facts in
the case. MIR. Wifi gathered together
a small bunch of dry hay and placing
loaded uble-barrelled gun upon the
hay and again piled on more till the
gun was covered He deliberately
set fire to the hay, at the same time
calling his wife to come and witne IS
his last prayer. This did seem to
create but little excitement by either
his wife or the men who witnessed the
sad funeral pile, for in a moment the
gun which was levelled at his breast,
discharged the contents Of both bar
rels and he was launched into eternity
in much less time than we can ren the
sad news
The essential guilt ofsuicide is unbelief-dis-
pair of Gods love and Observation-Disclosures
Mr.. Thomas Wifi, who committed
suicide on Thursday last, was per-
haps between forty and fifty years of
age. He leaves a wife and four
daughters to mourn his loss. Tenn
porary insanity is supposed to be the
cause.

The party that is not ashamed of
its history, and dares to stand by the

be preferred to the party which calls
