NATIONAL CAMP MEETING.
Another Temperance 4th.

A good Greenback friend hands
US a recent copy of the american
Sentry, containing a full account Of
the Great National Camp Meeting
at Lansing, Michigan, lasting
through five days and closing July

Prominent speakers were heard
each day on all the prominent

fortunate Hoosier cousins living in en-
forced idleness or that they perform
their duty in that state of life to which
it has pleased God to call them with
any greater benefit to themselves and

Wednesday last In a moment the
clerk was in the strangers company.
He beheld a young lady of perhaps
20 years, slender, rather pretty, and

as to excite the least idea that she was

"Oh, yes, very much" was the re.

and he returned quickly with the
message: "Mr. Gebhardt does not
recognize the person and cannot be
seen. lie il engaged"
Not know me? Mr.. Gebhardt not
know me" repeated the woman with
strong accent upon me. Her face
was flushed, and she began to exhibit
great emotion. "Then he refuses to

The messenger nodded aflirmatively.
"lf you could induce Mr.. Gebhardt
to come here and see me he would
know me in n minute" said the wo-
man rs if despairing. and then turn
ing upon her heel she remarked: How
can he say he does not know me?'
The actions of the woman were such
as to excite the closest attention of the
clerk. Indeed, he became greatly in
terested, and as she started to move
out and remarked, II will call to-mor-
row, then perhaps he will know me,
all sorts Of thoughts flashed through
the clerks mind.
True to her word, the young woman
appeared the next afternoon, but Gcb-
hardt was not at home. She departed
sadly disappointed. That is all that
has been seen of her, although a strict
watch has been kept by the clerks, not
only at the Lafayette, but other hotels,

meet Gebhardt on the street and make
a scene.

A Protectionist Cry for Work.

Protectionist doctrines act on some
people as green spectacles did on the
horse to which waste paper was fed.
They are 80 used to being fooled into
taking paper fap-doodle for the green

when they are hungry they think it is
paper they want instead Of corn. Thus
the Providence Ercning Pres adopts
the common mistake Of protectionists
that the object of life is to work hard
and makes the result of the labor an
entirely unimportant consideration. 1t
says:
Years ago friend who had recently
emigrated from Indiana gave his rea.
