THE GENUINE CAMP FIRE
Rally Round the Flag, Boys, by SidwelPs
band. was the prelude for general camp
fire scene. in which addresses and reminis-
cences followed each other in quick succ es-
sion. w. s. Scribner, past commander of
the Department of Illinois, was the first
speaker, and gave some stirring recollections
of Sherman's march to the sea. Rev. j. NJ.
Bull gave very eloquent and thrilling adj
dress, which was followed by more patriotic
airs by the Metropolitan band.
SYMPATHY TO GRANT.
Ex-Gov. Marshall, upon being introduced,
offered the following:
Resolved, That the profound sympathes of
this assembly of members of the Grand Army
of the Republic be telegraphed to our COM
rade, Gen. Grant, in his great suffering.
This was adopted with great applause by a
rising vote, and Gov. Marshall took the plat
form and related little experience, telling
how he and Gov. Hubbard had once cap
tured brass battery, pieces of which, per-
chance, might now be in the memorial
badge Col r. C. Benton, Gen. Leasure of
st. Paul, Col. Hicks and others spoke, and
the camp fire broke up at late hour.
THE TESTIMONIALS
are all elegant pieces of workmanship. The
engrossed resolutions to the city and state,
respectively, are precisely alike, except where
the necessity for distinguishing them changes
the terms. Each is magnifce ntly engrossed
in illuminated form, signed by the commit
tee, the commander and the secretary, and
framed in the most elegant style with gold
and crimson plush. Each is particularly
handsome ornament.
The glorious Grand Army badge is mas
terpiece of work, as described above. 1t is
two feet in length, framed handsomely and
further adorned with plate of gold, bearing
the inscription showing its mission. 1t is
absolutely imperishable and is memento
well worthy the preservation it will receive.
All of them will be on exhibition for few

NUMBER of our state exchanges, without
just cause, have been criticising the act of
the legislature appropriating 500, 900 to the
State Fair association. 1t is therefore with a
degree of pleasure we note the following
sensible article which appears in the Morris
Tribune:
The wisdom of appropriating 800, 900 for per-
manent improvements upon the state fair
grounds is becoming more and more plain.
Preparations are being made for judicious ex-
penditure of the money, applications for space
upon which to erect permanent buildings are
being made by various enterprising firms
throughout the state, and enough has already
been done to show that the fairs TO be held will
be successful to greater degree than has yet
been anticipated. This institution is to be made
thoroughly representative of this prosperous
and progressive state.

THE KAssoN DRUM CORPS.
Burnside Post No. 80, at Kasson, DODGE
county, has drum corps composed of boys
from IL to II years Of age. How to procure
the needful to pay for drums and equipments
for these young patriots was question. The
boys thought the post too slow in deciding
and so took the matter into their own hands,
and right 3obly have they succeeded. En-
listing their sisters into broom brigade they
gave us recently an entertain ment, said bY
those present 10 surpass anything of the kind
ever witnessed in Kasson. The boys and
girls performed their parts admira-
bly, and received rounds Of applause
from a large and appreciatve audience.
The military evolutons and manual Of arms
were executed with precision not surpassed
by our best drilled troops. The martial
music and patriotic songs thrilled our hearts
and reminded us Of scenes never TO be for
gotten, but sometimes the camp fire burns
low and needs fuel Of this kind to brighten
the memory. Our boys are made Of the
right stuff. The nantes of their fathers
have fallen upon them, and If we mistake
not our drum corps will be heard from at the
state encampmeDt this season. The proceeds
Of the entertainment were $113. so.

THE fire record OF March emphasizes the
futility of any hope as to decrease of the
national fire waste. In fact it turns out that
the past months fires were not only serious
in the aggregate amount OF property annihi-
lated, but this aggregate exceeded the fire loss
in March during the ten years for which sta
tistics are accessible, by nearly 33 per cent.
The figures given in the New York
Financial Chronicles Gre tables for
1S75-1SSf for the month of March,
show that the average fire loss of
the month in the United States and Canada,
in those ten years was Sc, SIS, 500. For March
1885 its estimate is an aggregate fire waste
of 50, 0O0. coo. FROM its own files the Chron.
