DAsTARDs. There are one or more
persons who make it a practice to visit
the cemetary, carrying away the bou-
quets that loving hands have placed
upon the graves of absent ones, pluck
flowers from plants transplanted, and
otherwise desecrate tho home of the
dead. These dastards are too mean and
despica5le, too cowardly and sneaking
to do their work when others are around
and play their nefarious practices when
the enclosure is deserted. The penalty
is severe for this kind of work, and the
day is not far distant when the relatives
and friends of the dead will have re-
course to the law to protect themselves
from the miscreants. 1t is to be hoped
that one of them will be captured before
long.

telegram.
ssSiioT DEAD IN A SALOON.
LANCASTER, Grant Co., Wis, May
12.-Peter Wade and John Murray had
a row over the price of glass of beer
at the village of Washburn, in this
county, last night. and Wade drew a
revolver and shot Murray dead"
This was quite surprise TO the peo-
pie here, but on investigation it was
learned that no such affair had occurred
in Grant County. The village OF WASH
burn some time ago changed its name
to that Of Arthur, and as the town is
noted for its prohibition tendencies.
there is not a saloon there. Other
papers had the item, all dated from
Lancaster. II is probable that such an
occurrence took place, but it must have
been at Washburn, Bayfield, county.

ScALPs.-On Monday Mr.. Alexander
Lynatt, of Woodman, entered the Office
of County Clerk Hill and produced five
scalps which he claimed were from
young wolves, and which were accom-
panied by certificate signed by Chair
man Glynn. of that town. Mr.. Hill,
who has had many queer cases of scalp
producers before him, made an exam
ination of Mr.. Lynatt's crop and pro-
nounced the scalps from woodchucks.
This put Mr.. Lynatt on his mettle, and
he said that he could produce one of the
carcasses as proof, which he did; but
the attitude in which the animal must
have been when killed, with claws out
stretched as if endeavoring to get into
his hole, was too strong proof in favor
of the County Clerks theory to help the
applicant out. Evidently some of the
Woodman hunters put up joke on
Alex. and he had his trip to Lancaster
for nothing.

IRON BRIGADE.-The reunion of the
veterans of the Iron Brigade TO be held
in this city, August %, will require OF
the citizens some work and trouble.
The veterans will expect Accommodations
to be provided for them, and they also
expect to pay for them. Outside of this,
however, the people should give the old
soldiers reception that will accord
with the honors they gained on the bat
tie field. Gen. Tom Allen, of the Osh-
kosh Northwestern, says Lancaster is
selected because there are living in the
vicinity q greater number of the survi-
vors of the Second, Sixth and Seventh
regiments than in any Other part of the
State. Every Soldiers reunion held in
Grant county, by any organization has
been marked success"

After many years, the upper school
house has been thoroughly repaired in
side and out, and now presents a
very neat and attractive appearance.
Now. if the parents would take enough
interest to contribute few pictures
and ornaments for the wall, making
the room pleasant and attractive to our
little ones, the good results will be at
once apparent, in various ways. Our
school board take great pains to furnish
every thing needful which the law al
lows them to, can we not voluntarily
do little more?

Although not largely attended it was
complete success, such an exhibition
of high and lofty tumbling, gymnastic
evolutions and contortions, interspersed
with perfect dead falls, never before
being witnessed here. even in the good
old circus times. The fiexibility of the
human frame was perfectly demon
strated. No serious results are re-
ported, but there is still quite demand
for arnica and easy chairs.
One of the proprietors eclipsed all

Music Among Southern Negroes.

Joel Chandler Harris confirms the
assertion that the negroes of the South
know little about the banjo. 1t is not
only difficult, but impossible, to dis
place the banio-playing stage negro in
literature with the real negro. 1t is
not only so at the North, but in great
measure at the South. The first song
Mr.. Harris ever learned was a string Of
nonsense with the chorus, I'm gwine
to Alabama wild my banjo on my kneel"
There was another in which a negro,
who was supposed to have lost his
Nelly Gray, declared he would stake
his banjo down and sing little song
Nelly, In the meantime, was down in
Georgia "a-toiling in the cotton and the
cane" These songs and hundreds of
similar ones were written by white men
who knew even less about the negroes
than they did about meter; but the
ditties were sung all over the country,
and there was nobody in the South un-
willing to laugh od-humoredly at the
idea of negro toiling in the cane of
Georgia, where none is grown. The
banjo Mr.. Harris has never seen a
plantation negro play. He has heard
negroes passably use the fiddle, tn.
flute, and the fife, and blow tin trum-
ret with surprising skill, but never
heard them play a banjo, tamborine,
or pair of bones
