The Glorious Fourth,

The morning of the fourth opened
fair and pleasant in every respect, and
from early dawn the rattle of wheels
and tramping Of footmen gave notice
that the people Of the county were
coming in force to celebrate the indie
pendence day at lola. AS delegation
after delegation from the different
townships come in, it became obvious
that the people of this city had more
than was bargained for. Prepare tons
had been made for a big crowd, but
not for the avalanche of people that
flocked from every direction. The last
and largest delegation to arrive was
from Humboldt, headed by their silver
cornet band and Humboldt G Guards"
theprocession consisting Of seventy
five teams crowded with people. Gully
four hundred persons came in this del
egation and doubtless nearly as many
more at different times. From Gene
va, Deer Creek and Usage, a constant
stream of people had poured in; and
from Elm, Marmaton and Salem, a
a general exodus had taken place. Els
more and Cottage Grove were not be-
hind-hand, and from adjoining coun-
ties many had come over to help swell
the throng.
BY eleven o'clock fully ten thousand
people had over-run the grounds pre-
pared on the beautiful Neosho. The
timber surrounding the cleared grounds
was filled with teams, and the roads
leading to the grounds were choked
with conveyances of every description.
At this time an announcement was
made from the stand that the exer-
cises would not be held until after din:
ner. Everybody had come prepared
to invite their friends to dine with
them and an abundant supply of eata-
bles, dispensed in true picnic style,
soon put all in good humor to enjoy
and make the most of an unusually
pleasant time.
After dinner the usual quota of ire
marks" were made by the usual num-
Der of home talent spread eagles the
usual amount of inattention given to
the usual amount of windy speeches
and the usual amount of satisfaction
and dissatisfaction expressed as the
usual degree of patriotism or impati-
thence attacked the usual number of
people. (Of course our orators will I'M
derstand that in reality each and every
speaker eclipsed all the rest and the
"great unwashed" were highly pleas
ed.)
The steamer Mayfower, loaded to
the waters edge with happy excur-
sionists made many trips upon the
Neosho. The gallant country swain
hand in hand with dorothy" drank
picnic lemonade and swung sixteen
times around the world for a MCKEE"
Many acquaintance were renewed
and formed among the old soldiers,
and repiniscences of tented field and |
weary march were the order of the day.
The "Guards'' "marched. marched
away" attracting fair eyes and caus-
ing many a jealous pang to the hearts
Of their beauX. And the people, when
it came time 10 separate for their |
homes, were glad that they had at
tended.

The Charlestown papers are very
proud of an election that has been
held in South Carolina without the
murder of a colOred man or the burn
ing of school house. But it SO hap
pened that only one candidate, and he
a Democrat, was running, so there was
no occasion for bnlldozing. The
Charleston Mems and Courier says ''the
election was managed with a fairness
that would put the Republican man
ayers in the North and West to blush. !"
Republican managers in the North
and West do not .sblush" for fairness.
It's the other thing they blush for

Geo. w. Martin who retired from
the office of State Printer last week
has held the office for eight years, and
during that time it is safe to say that
the printing has been done in a better
manner than that usually done for
other States. Everyone speaks well of
Martin and should Dwight Thacher
do as well by the State he can safely
count upon two or more terms.

OF the late Henry s. Lane an old
friend relates he was chosen chairman
of the Philadelphia Republican Con-
vention in '5S, just after severe at
tack of illness. Pale, -cadaverous, and
weak he took the chair, and was re-
garded with establishment by the
southern delegates, some of whom
asked, "What is there about that man
to recommend him for chairman 2"
Presently Mr.. Lane began to speak,
and in the fiOwery manner especially
pleasing to the Southerners. At the
end of his speech they rushed over
to the Indiana delegates, enthusiastic
ly shaking hands, and one exclaimed
in the eXuberance of his Joy,
Heavens! he's old Demosthenes !;
have you any more men like him in

BATCHELLER g. DORIS GREAT
INTER OCEAN SHOW.

Already the excitement of the.
great show that is to exhibit here on
May 9Th, is manifest among our cit
zens. Everybody is making prepa-
rations to go, and little need be now
said editorially to ensure an over
whelming multitude in its colossal
pavilion.
This grand aggregation has the
reputation OF coming fully up to.
what they advertise and many OF
hepapers say they have done more
than this. People arc really enthu-
siastic over this gigantic organiza-
ton and the splendid reputation they
make wherever they go seems to fly
ahead like the wind. The proprie-
tors, Batcheller " Doris. are deter
mined that their exhibitions here
shall surpass anything Of the kind
ever witnessed.
No lemonade, candy or other ped
lers are allowed with the show. and
the fact that they protect their pa
irons from all of swindlers who
usually follow shows, has created
most favorable impression. In adj
dition to the Monster Menagerie
and Grand Double Circus will be-
seen Zazel the Human Cannon Ball,
fired from cannon 70 feet into mid
air, and who will also ride bicycle,
walk, run, dance &C., on a slender
wire, stretched across the top of the
Pavilion; Prince Satsuma's Royal
Troupe of Japanese, a Band of Saw
age Souix warriors; Group of Gen
uine Zalus; a Troop of trained Ara
bian Stations, and other features
and novelties to be seen in no other
show. The Egyptian Bovalapus,
captured in the Mediterranean Sea.
will attract great notice as it is the
first and only specimen ever exhibit
ed.
The great street parade at 8 A. M.
will prove the grandest affair of the
kind ever witnessed. Don't fail to

Eds. Independent:
A short time since / noticed in
your paper an article saying the re-
cent legislature failed to make an
appropriation to carry into effect an
act passed in 1879, requiring the

named for that purpose, under the
head of contingent expenses, thirty
FIVE hundred dollars was approrfiat-
ed for that institution, and it was
understood by the Finance Commit
tee of both bodies, and the delegates
from Monongalia, that such sum as
was necessary to carry into effect
the above mentioned act, should be
taken from the appropriation named.
