ARRANGEMENTS have been made for a
midsummer encampment of the Grand
Army OF the Republic at Bordentown, N. j.,
on scale which it is expected will make it
the most extensive affair of the kind vet
attempted. Bonaparte park situated north
OF the town, the famous residence of
Joseph Bonaparte, ex-king of Spain,
mas been secured. President Hayes, the
members OF his cabinet, the Democratic and
Republican nominees for President and 9th
er distinguished men have been invited. A
sham battle, in which fotilla of g,nboats
and eighty pieces of artillery will be en-
ployed, will be a prominent feature.

necessary. In your heart of hearts Won well
remember why the country was in danger,

to the general call. And to-day in letting
your thoughts 60 back to that dark time. we
must remember, oh, how vividly, from what
source came our encouragement, which Of the
two great parties stood by us and sustained us
IN the discharge of the duties devolving upon

my comrades, you who fought for the nation s
supremacy well understand that it was the
duty OF every man to be loyal to the stars and
stripes, and fight to perpetuate the glorious
principles underlying the foundations of the
noble government we loved so well. But the
great party who voted us our supplies en-
couraged us upon every and all occasions, re-
joiced at our victories, mourned at our defeats.
and gloried when the right prevailed, was the
Republican. II you doubt this, go to the State
records and read for yourselves the vote of the
two parties. Again, remember that in 1854
the democratic party in convention declared
IN It's resolution the ''scdr a failure" In other
words, that your brave comrades who were

battles for the right. Their record shows it and

The midsummer Scribner (August number)
opens with aremarkable frontispiece engray-
ing by Cole, from the famous picture of Savon-
arola, by Fra Bartolommeo. This portrait ac-
companies The Plain Story of Savonarlo's
Life, written by the English wife of the Ital-
ian Professor Villari. The work by the latter
on the great Florentine preacher, patriot and
martyr is now considered the standard biogra-
phy and it would be difficult to find in Eng
lsh more succinct and correct sketch of the
life of the great Italian than that now offered
by Madame Villari. The paper has illustra
tions of the tragic life and death of Savonarlo
by Mr.. Van Schaick, the American artist liv-
ing in Florence. Another brief summary of a
large subject is Richard Henry Danas Sketch
of American Diplomacy. Madame Adam
(Juliette Lamber) editor of La Nouvelle Revue,
the new rival of The Revue des Deux Mondes,
answers philosophically-an favorably--the
question Will the French Republic Last? The
most novel and interesting art feature of the
midsummer Scribner is Philip Gilbert Hamer-
toms study of Mr.. Seymour Haden's Etch-
ings. A number of etchings are reproduced in
small, with an artistic accuracy which, it is
claimed, has never before been equaled by
similar means, namely, woed-engraving and
steam printing. 1t has been left to an Ameri-
can magazine to first enter upon the illustra-
tion of Dickens, by employing artists to look
up the original scenes of his stories. The first
of this series appears in the August Scribner,
some of whose remaining features we can bare
ly enumerate: Our River, description of the
Hudson,-by writer and an artist who have
lived long on its banks,-Mr. John Burroughs
and Mrs. Mary Hallock Foote; The Western
Man, by Charles Dudler Warner; The Book of
Mormon, an account, by Mrs. Ellen e. Dickin-
inson, fortified by sworn and other testimony,
of the origin of the Mormon Bible, which is
claimed to have been written as novel by her
great-uncle, Rev. Solomon Spaulding comic

SOFT FOOD FOR POULTRY.

There have been all sorts of opinions
as to the best food for poultry. Most
persons recommend soft food of various
kinds-all sorts ofmeal made into dough
are recommended as wholesome food
for poultry. The same food is recon-
mended as egg-producing to degree
far above whole grain of various kinds.
Many, seemingly otherwise good
poultry experts, are among the advo-
Gates of soft food. [ am quite often on
the unpopular side Of the argument.
Still claim credit for always writing
as near to facts as possible. In giving
the results Of feeding soft food, many
persons will differ with me in my con-
clusions, when I affirm that, from
practical tests, | am quite convinced
that poultry needs, and to be healthy
must have, bard food l have fed soft
food in every possible FORM with pep
per Of all kinds, and without: with DOT
liquor, and without; with greese, and
without. | have begun feeding it sud
denly, and gradually / have fed ii in all
weathers. [ have carefully noted the re-
suits, and found them unfavorable
beyond IL doubt. l have lost more of
my best stock from diarrhea, caused by
such food, and had la 1nore sickness caused
by its use than from all other causes.
4 large fancy poultry breeder and ex-
hibitor has just paid me a visit, while I
sat at NY desk writing this. l told him
my subject. He said: "That's right;
such has been my sad experience in soft
feeding, and | am quite satisfied that
galliaac eous fowls require hard food. "
Of course do not mean that an occa-
sional soft mess will be conducive of
harm. But | do mean that the true
food of our domestic poultry must be of
a hard nature to keep the flock in
good, healthy condition. In addition
to my own experience, l have paid much
attention to other extensive poultry
breeders, and have discovered invari-
ably an unhealthy condition where soft
food is much fed A change of food is

A Strange Case.

Nearly two months ago a youth By
the name of Huston brought on an at.
fray with Mr.. McClelland, a mer.
chant of New Philadelphia, a small vii
lage eight miles northeast of Salem
Huston threw brick at his opponent,
striking above the left ear, and break.
ing both tables of the skull bone. The
course of the fracture was such as to
involve the third convolution of Broca' s
region.
After lying in precarious condition
for time, Mr.. McCleliand has recov-
cred so far as to be able to come to
Salem for the purpose of attending an
examination of the case before Esquire
Ward. 1t was found. however, that he
was not able to testify. While he is
perfectly rational, Mr.. M. has not the
power to frame his thoughts into Ian
guage. The day previous to that set
for trial, on being: asked to describe the
circumstances, he began: "I was nail
ing up Here he paused unable to
advance. and the word fence being
suggested he nodded his head in the
affirmative. He then continued, but
after uttering four or five words again
stopped, unable to proceed till the prop
er words were suggested. 1t is in this
manner only that he is able to converse
at all. The same difficulty occurs on
his attempting to write. He can often
tell one name of a person whom he
sees without being able to give the 9TH
er. His condition is slowly improving,
but there is great doubt as to whether
he will fully recover.
The circumstances of the ARRAY are
said to be these: Young Huston had
been ordered out of McClelland's store,
and, a few days after, passed where the
latter was repairing fence. Huston
directed M. to lay down his Ratchet, as
he meant to whip him. M. refused,
whereupon Huston seized a club and
made the attack--tinally breaking the
club-M. meanwhile using his Ratchet.
Huston then seized a brick. a
gentleman attempted to separate
them and to prevent the throwing
of the brick. but Huston threw over
his shoulder, with the result above
stated. McClelland is about forty wears

American Watches.

The American Watch Company Of Waltham
received last week an order from the British
Government for 373 watches, intended for the
use of conductors, engineers, station-masters
and other employees of the state railroads of
India. This is the third large order received
by the company from the same source and,
like the former ones, was obtained in public
competition with foreign manufacturers The
London HJeweller ard Metal " orker," in its
issue of January Is, observes, in reference to
this order:
''The contract for watches, to be used By
the officials on the Indian state railways, has
again been secured by the American Watch
Company. This is the third time Messrs. Rob-
bins u Appleton have received this distinction,
which is not barren one, for it must be evil
dent to the most prejudiced individuals that
the timekeepers supplied on the previous oc-
casion must have given satisfaction, and an
swered the tests required Of them. This is a
notifying fact for Englishmen, especially for
those who believe that were manufacturers
here to show more enterprise they would be
able to compete advantageously in the manu-
facture of all grades of watches" -BoStoss
