John NJ. Crawford is known as the poet
scout" This picturesque individual Is only
SO years old, but he was soldier in the
northern army. He is native of Pennsyl-
vania, and never went to school day in
his life He was wounded at Spottsylvania,
and while lying in hospital the Sisters Of
Charity taught him to read and write. He
made such good use of this knowledge that
he became poet and newspaper man. He
was correspondent of ths New York Herald
and other papers, and has published vol
ume of poems. He has taken part in more In
dian fights and chases than most men have
in coon hunts He was chief of the govern
ment tscouts during the Sitting Bull campaign.
On this expedition he carried dispatches
400 miles on horseback through the Indian
country in the Little Big Horn region. He
took prominent part in thu noted horse
meat chase from the Platte to the Black
Hills He belonged to the Buffalo Bill Dra-
matte Company for awhile. But he did
much finer thing than that, at length. He
made his fortune in mining and ranch prop
erty, which is much better than most poets
can do. A personal sketch Of this romantic
parsonage with the wildly streaming hair
informs us that he has piercing blue eye

One of the nobleSt of the foundation prin-
ciples of the G.. A. r. is
EQUALITY AND FRATERNITY.
The humblest soldier that carried mus
ket, is, as far as rights and privileges 60, on
an exact equality with Sherman, Logan,
Sheridan and the most distinguished men in
the war. No distinction is allowed in the
character or material of the Grand Army
badge. That which Gen. Sherman wears is
exactly like that which Private John Smith
wears. All are of bronze, and are made
from captured confederate cannon. Repub-
licanism is inculcated and practiced in the
G. A. r. Much business was transacted.
The soldiers bravely put themselves on
record against the eight-dollar pension bill,
that has been proposed for them all. c
The next national encampment of the
Grand Army will be held at San Francisco
next summer. From Maine to California is
a good jump.
Officers were elected for the next year.

He Wanted aThunder Rod.
New York Tmef.l


"You see" said the farmer to the
lightning rod agent sIt amt light
min that I'm afraid of, it's thunder.
Thunder alters paralyzes me. Idont
want no lightnin' rods"
"Well," admitted the agent, al
think myself that thunder is the more
dangerous of the two. What you
want is thunder rods"
"Have You got thunder rods?"
"Oh, yes; the brass-tipped rods are
for lightning and the nickel-tipped
for thunder; but the latter cost lit
tie more"
81 guess you kin put up a few of
them thunder rods, said the farmer.
l don't mind payin' little extry so
long as / feel safe"

Officers were elected for the next year.

The Grand Army of the Republic knows
no race, and not much color. One of its
early commanders was a brave German
Comrade Louis Wagner, of Ohio. The one
.or the coming year, Samuel S. Burdett, is
IN Englishman by birth, but also an Ohio
rnan by adoption. 1t is rather remarkable
how many prominent Grand Army COM
manders and other officials are from Ohio.
Comrade Burdett was educated at Oberlin
college. He entered the army from Iowa.
He is very capable lawyer, AMI captivat-
ing orator and stump speaker. He has
served in congress two terms, and has held
the Office of United States land commits
sioner. He is at present practicing law in
Washington.
After the business of the gathering was
over the members enjoyed themselves.
Some went to the White Mountains, and
others made an ocean trip. Numbers took
part in an old-fashioned and famous amuse-
rlent, as follows:
Democratic Northwest. [volume] (Napoleon, Ohio) 1869-1894, 1885-07-09

He also exercised the duties of provisional
commander-n-c chief over al the states and
territories.
The first regularly elected general COM
mander- i'll chief was Gen Hurbut, also of Il.
linois. Gen. John A. Logan was com.
mander in chief in 1867. He was present al
the meeting here in Portland this week. He
was recognized at sight, and some old sol
dier roared:
''Three cheers for Black jack"
"You mean Gen. Logan" said comrade.
mo, don't" replied the "old boy" II
mean Black Jack"
The cheers were given with will and a
howl. Mr.. Blaine, Names favorite son,
however, did not shoy hims,lf at the en-
campmeut. Perhaps he thought it would be
taken to mean politics and 1888, if he did.
But Hannibal Hamlin, Lincoln's first vice.
president, that ancient man who never wore
an overcoat, was there, large as life, among
the honored guests He marched in the
procession. He wore his famous swallow.
tail, which threatens to 60 down to history
as renowned as Old Grimes coat, all but
toned down before.
Maine covered herself with honor in pre-
pairing for the G. A. R. reception The
legislature appropriated $lO,OOo towards the
expenses. The city of Portland voted S., 600
for the same purpose. Not to DO outdone In
large-hearte lness, the business firms of the
jolly little city next contributed $4,000 out
of their private pockets to add to the gen.
eral good time. Hang expenses!" was the
motto all round.
Governor Anthony, of Kansas, was there.
He said that 10000 Kansas men made an
annual pilgrimage to Maine to see their
mothers-in-law.
Gen. Logan was the most popular man on
the ground. Wherever he appeared lie was
greeted with cheers. But alas! it's too long
ahead Of 1881 Booms will live and booms
will die before then. Senator Logan mad.

Hone matter Of interest during the session
was the reading of letter from Gen. Rose
Grams. In it he stated that the Grand Army
of the Republic did not come under the head
Of secret societies, in which membership Is
forbidden to Catholics This had been de-
cided by the authorities of the church
Good Catholics might therefore become
members of the order with clear con.
science.
The ranks of the noble old boys who de-
Tended the Union are thinning rapidly. How
rapidly, may be told from the death record
the past year. Since 1884, 2,544 have gone
to JON the army on the othar side.
Democratic Northwest. [volume] (Napoleon, Ohio) 1869-1894, 1885-07-09

he said it was the prayer Of every member
Of the g. A. r. that the gram old man NJ
in the Adirondacks might yet live long. Ht
said, further, that the Grand Army had re-
solved that the poorhouse should never be
the home of a soldier

Especial Correspondencel
PORTLAND, Me-, June T.-ThS little pro-
hibition city has been crowded as never be-
fore in its history during the week ending
to-day. There are only "a, 900 inhabitants
all told. in the place, yet it fed and shell
tered 25, 900 to 80, 900 strangers from Monday
till Saturday. Many thousands of the visi-
tors, however, lived in tents in Camp U. s.
Grant.
They have been living war memories over
again, the veterans of the Grand Army OF
the Republic. The boys of twenty years ago
are grizzly bearded and baldheaded, good
many of them, but the old spirit of fun
lives in them still. One sees this in the mot
toes that adorned the tents. Outside OF
them were painted ever and anon words OF
wisdom like this: First in war, first in
love and first at dinner"
HISTORY.
Old soldiers of the war are dying year by
year, but in spite of that the G. A. R. is in
ceasing in numbers. 1t took long time
for the idea to work among the returned
volunteers. The order is now nineteen years
old. There were smaller organizations among
the Union soldiers even before the war
closed.
