New Orleans, May %, 1885.
Monday, May Il, was q double great
day at the Exposition, as it WIS Alabama
and Veterans Day.
Alabama Is one of the most prosper
Gus States in the South and one which
is very rich in mineral deposits and has
made rapid strides in the establishments
of manufacturing industries. A large
amount of northern capital has been in
vested during the past few years. Rer
''day" was one, therefore, that attracted
national attention, and many thousands
of the states citizens were present. The
ceremonies were he'd under the live
oaks, out in the open air, and eloquent
addresses were delivered. Alabamians
can we'll feel proud OF the success Of
their day. Early Monday morning the
''tramp, tramp" of the old soldiers
might be heard in al directions, and it
would have done the hearts of all true
American people good to have heard
old ''grey veterans cheer the ssblue vet
erans'' and vice versa. It was a grand
reunion of the Blue AID the Grey. The
boys who stood up and faced each others
muskets now shook hands and cheered
each other. Many old army sayings
were repested and numerous offers to
exchange tobacco for coffee were heard.
The Veterans Day generated much
good feeling which will penetrate to all
parts Of the Union.

I AN IN -rtE-o - & BARNS OFEA + r.
Quite strange and exciting scene
was enacted in a country school house
near the junction Tuesday night. A
few evenings since an advance agent
distributed bills profusely throughout
the neighbOrhOOd, announcing the COM
ing Of a slight OF hand show. The main
feature Of the attraction was the skele-
ton Of 81 Kate Bender" a great mum
Der Of people gathered at the school
house, the greater portion believing 1t
to be the skeleton of the veritabIe Kate.
After the Snowman had performed sew
eral tricks of legerdemain, he stopped
and took his position in front of the
audience and gave a brief description of
the manner in which DR.. York and 9th
ers were murdered. After his lecture
was ended he stepped aside, telling the
spectators to prepare for the scene soon
TO take place. The Snowman then
called for Miss Bender to come forth
from her resting place. All eyes were
turned to the curtains and at the third
calling . huge coffin was slid from be-
hind the curtain. This sight itself was
appalling but to make the excitement
more intense, he took his position near
the coffin and commenced turning a
crank. Alarge skeleton arose slowly, !
and being automatically arranged,
turned its head around in q frightful /
manner. For while, the audience |
stood spell-bound until an old lady /
shrieked out, fell to the floor and went /
into spasms. This set the children wild /
with fear and they jumped to their
mothers for protection and the mothers
were not slow to call on their husbands.
1t required the combined efforts of the |
men present to restore peace and quiet
ude. The Snowman was then ordered /
to get the skeleton out of sight and
leave the neighbOrhoOd within twenty
four hours, to save the community the
trouble OF lynching him.-TonganOxie
