EINToN, Iowa, Sept. 81 have just returned
from the Reunion of the Benton County Vet
eran Association at Belle Plaine, Iowa. 1t was
Il very pleasant affair, lasting two days. About
500 veterans were assembled there, and on the
second day | should judge there were twenty
five hundred or three thousand persons present.
The address the first day was by Col. Brown,
late of the Ninety-third Illinois infantry, now
a resident of Geneoa, Ill., and was very fine
speech. In the evening Capt A. II. Reed, late
of the Fourth New York, and now a resident
Of Vinton, Iowa, made a very fine speech, and
was followed by Mr.. Willett, Of Belle Plaine,
and two others, whose talk was appreciated by

JUDGE MATTHEW'S ADDRESS.
do not know that any marble shaft Will
| ever tower alOft over the spot where sleeps our
comrade and friend but / do know that he
| built for himself monument more glorious
| than marble or granite, and yet that unrelent-
| ing fate that ever pursued him, Tobblng HIM OF
well nigh all that was justly his due Is still at
| It's relentless work. The thousands who annu-
| ally meet at the Reunions of the Grand army
! Of the Republic give no thought to the heart
| that nurtured and to the brain that conceived
| the grand idea OF brotherhood OF soldiers.
When this thought first came to our comrade
| his whole soul was filed with the grand con-
Ception. Without rest weariness his every
energy was devoted TO the accomplishment o1
the grand design. With patriotic inspiration
lie saw clearly the great good TO be attained.
He felt that he was erecting an alter upon
which tho fire of love for the whole Union
would burn and burn forever. He saw with a
prophetic vision the Star Spangled Banner OF a
Nation not a confederation of discordant
States-but Nations banner unfurled TO the
breeze, and with fancy ear he heard the tramp,
tramp of the million soldiers of the Grand
Army as they gathered beneath it to shield
and defend it from every harm. ~ ..
Ny friends, how well he read the future.
His glad anticipatidns are more than realized.
The camp-fires of the Grand Army are burning
from Ocean TO Ocean. Thousands and tens of
thousands Of his brotherhood of soldiers meet
nightly in fraternaI greetings. The banner
that he so loved is floating stainless and pSre in
Gods bright sunshine, never again to be soiled
and torn by traitorous hands.
Though not hero to witness it, the grand
dream of his life has assumed the proportions
OF a bright reality. The note that he struck,
single handed and alone, has swelled into
glorious anthem. The light that be kindled is
Illuminating an entire land, and at the last is
hinging its radiance over the cOnsecrated spot
where our comrade reposes- all unconscious
that his hour of triumph has come.
The law Of compensation pervadeS all nature.
A now thought proclaimed, a good deed done,
or a heroic act performed, will sooner or later
meet its proper reward. 1t may tarry long. 1t
may linger in its coming, but come 1t Will,
with unfailing certainty.
In obedience to that law, wo have come,
even at that this late day, TO do honor to our
departed comrade And. friends, let it not stop
here. Let US by some fitting testimonial pro-
claim to al coming time cur appreciation OF the
grand work accomplished by our departed
friend and companion. Let us
Seek no further his merits TO disclose,
Nor draw his frailties from their dread abode.
There they alike i'll trembling hope repose,
The bosom of his Father and his God.
THE CLOSING CEREMONIES.
The exercises were closed by the singing of
the National hymn, america"
The day was one of usual beauty in GOODNESS
and absence of dust, and the impressive cere-
monies viii long be remembered by those in
attendance.
The National tribune., 1882-09-16

10000 people witnessed the sham battle, and
the camp was alive with happy people night
and day, and DO accident happened to mar the
harmony. When day closed, the attraction
centered in the grand pavilion, where ringing
speeches, war stories aud patriotic songs were
heard. Five thousand veterans took part in
this Reunion, nearly every State being repro
sented, which brought together many who had
fought upon the same field and served in the
same organization. At night the caInp-fires
were lighted, when thousands OF men, women
and children gathered TO hear the recitals Of
bloody encounters by land and sea. The Re-
union was a grand success and was the most
extensive gathering of war veterans that ever
took place in Nebraska.

works with such perfection that many an old sol
dior pulled down his head, fearing piece was
