Eighteen Of the Uniformed Rank Knights
of Py,hias attended the great conclave at
Cincinnati last week, leaving this city over
tae Rock Island, Seneca ana kankaxee, and
the Cincinnati road, on Tuesday morning,
and arriving in the city of pork and high
water pants al eventide.
There was little of moment on the way
to disturb the even monotony Of the kanSa-
kee and Seneca road, excepting the loss of
the big four, or the losing of the train by
the big four, il is hard to determine which.
These gentlemen, Messrs. Ni;schelm, Zickler
Alshuler and Dryer, had jumped off the
train to play leap frog, and soon became so
enraptured with the sport that the lapse OF
time was not noticed. Presently Alshuler
gazed down the track.
Boys" he exclaimed, We've lost the
train"
SOW, wow" chronicied the three. ''Our
coats, swords and hats are on board, and we
have committed our cold tea 10 our travelling
cases!!!'
And the big four sc. down by the fence
in despair, but presently the train was seen
coming srout d the bend two miles below,
and An hour and half later they were on
board and happy.
A. Cincinnati the delegation was met at
the depot and escorted to its hotel, where the
best Of everything was at hand. They took
part in the great parade on Wednesday
afterdoon when there were thirty thousand
Knights in line, taking three hours to pass
the reviewing stand Of the grand officers.

The republicans having been prevented
by a democratic house from giving away
all the public lands TO railroads, are now
very solcitous for the rights Of the settler
1t being a tender point they of course deny
that the democrats have recovered any of
those lands 50 lavishly granted; but the
records Of the land office show that during
Cleveland's administration the democrats
have restored to the public domain al least
S000O,000 of acres OF lands unearned by
the railroads.
