A Change Coming.

retail grocer in village in the 1n- terior, says the Free Press, remarked while in Detroit on business that change in the method of advertising for customers would soon be put in prac. tice in cases like his own. Instead of advertising sugar, coffee and tea ''at lower prices than ever heard of in Slab- town before, his idea is to drop in some thing like this
 During the winter my grocery will be the headquarters of every man in town who can point put the mistakes of this country for the past twenty-five years.
 He will have . full stock of canned fruits and iellies, but instead of adver- tising them directly he will say
 "Oome down and git on my counter and the heads of my sugar barrels and talk politics and tell each other what this country needs to make her great. "
 He will have boneless codfish, dried beef and sugar. cured hams, but he will call attention to them by saying:
 cone hundred old settlers wanted every night in the week to talk about the drought of '49, the panic of '57, the frosty summer of "A, and the warm winter of '5S. Cushioned chairs re. served for the biggest liars."
 Instead of advertising his new stock of syrups or making any blow about his cider vinegar. he will inform the public "We talk horse. We discuss relig. ion. We jaw over politics. We revise the Constitution of the United States and run several of the departments oi l government. What we don't know you can't find out anywhere else. Come and loaf and lie with us." ,s

FINDING FAuLT.-A German gentle man of Boston says: "You Americans find fault because the Chinese do not assimilate with you. Do not make the mistake of supposing that all other peo- pie are going to surrender their old country characters, customs and tastes and assimilate with what they do not like. The whole stock in trade of an American politician is the skill with which he can surrender all his own notions to the desires and demands Of foreign citizens whom he is happy to represent aill pass bills for."

A MEAN THmF.-If one thief can be meaner than all other thieves, probably he is the one in Wheatland, Cal., who, having gone to a camp.meetiug, re- quested the Rev. MT. Stroball to come and pray for him and his family, and upon the clergyman accompanying him a short distance from the camp for the purpose, compelled him at the muzzle of pistol, to deliver over his watch and chain and the little money he had about him. Unfortunately the fellow escaped with the plunder.

INGERSOLL AND THE SOLDIER.
Curious Discussion About the Invitation Extended
Him to Deliver the Decoration Day Grafton.
"a Wayfaring Man" in the New York Sul,

Curious Discussion About the Invitation Extended
Him to Deliver the Decoration Day Grafton.
"a Wayfaring Man" in the New York Su,
states that
The selection Of Mr.. Ingersoll for orator on
Decoration Day is particularly insulting to the
great mass of the people.
Whereupon "P. K. D." responds in counter
communication:
Would every soldier who fell in the war,
whose faith III what is called tho Christian re-
hgion was not surely established, have been
insulted had some protesting Christian been
called upon to perform this scrvice7 If not,
why not? Did any Christian protest against
Colonel Ingersoll going into the war and propose
to 60 in his stead? Itwould have been entirely
logical for Christian to have said: "You,
Colonel IngersOl, must not go, for if you do,
and you get killed, you will go to hell, while |,
being Christian, am prepared for Heaven. l
will go; you stay ut home" Christians of the
stripe Of "W." in 81 were not concerned about
dead soldiers being insulted; they were con-
cerncd about living Christians becoming dead
soldiers.
Another, who signs himself 90. NJ" SAYS:
Is it Christian religion to mock belize and
otherwise try with all their vicious and con-
tracted minds and viper tongues to maien, and
if possible to destroy, the character and fair
reputation of man who happens not to join
blindly in their imaginative godliness? re-
spcct Colonel Ingersoll for his love of country.
for his integrity of principle, and profound
determination to stand by his convictions with
the heart and will of q man with whom, bio
cannot compare.
And still another, under the nom de plume of
" Free Speech" says:
Before we approve or condemn the selection
of Colonel Ingersoll, would it not be well to
wait and read what he has to say about Deco
ration Day?

AT REEDSRuRG, WIS.

Special Correspondence National Tribune
REEDsBURG, Wis, May 30.-Dcspite the
showers of rain our Memorial services were a
perfect success. A large concourse of people
gathered to celebrate with US in their tributes
to our fallen comrades
General John A. Kellogg of the Old Iron
Brigade, addressed us, and our services were
in brief as follows. viz: At 1:30 p m, long roll
beat and II. A. Tator Post fell in; Band-mar-
tial music-tirst, then General J. \. Kellogg,
with escort of Past Post officers; II. A. Tator
Post, then old soldiers mot membcrs), teams,
&c, marched from Post headquarters to public
square, where, after interesting exercises, an
address was delivered by General j. A. Kellogg.
The address was very impressive; the General,
being a veteran of twenty-five engagements,
spoke from the heart, and brought tears to
many eyes. His expressions on reconciliation
were very interesting; he believed that if
matters were left to the q boys in blue" in
stead of those who fought at long range, we
would have had solid Union long ago.
