At WINONA.


Of the speaking at Winona on
the Fourth, the Clipper says:
1.-THE Hon. w. S. Tilton, of Wa
Keeney, the speaker of the day,
arrived on the train the evening
previous, and was here chuck full
of enthusiasm SO prevalent among
the soldier element. He did not
tire the assembly with a long and
undressing address, but his talk
was short and to the point, and the
attention he drew from the audience,
which was in an uproar when he
entered upon the rostrum, and
which SO quickly subsided, was
evidence that the speaker had the
people under his control Encourage
ing remarks were also made by 4. E.
Willcocksoa, county attorney, Of
Oakley, and II. F. Geisaler, =
prominent banker and citizen Of
that city.

OeceOla Sentinel.

r. = s.- SON..
Osceola Sentinel.
It may be truly said of Allen G. Thur
man that he never, either by word or deed,
from the beginning to the ending of the
war, contributed one iota toward the
putting down of rebellion. Indeed, all
his sympathy, as well as that Of his family,
was bestowed on the other side. After
the rebel prison was established at Camp
Chase, his wife was in the habit of get
ting out her carriage at least once q week,
loading it down with nickuacks, and
driving out to the camp to distribute
them with her own hands to the rebel
prisoners. Indeed, it was her practice to
ride into the yard of the prison. and
there dispense her elegant "Virginis
hospitality" to the rebel prisoners while
sitting at ease in her carriage. Thecom-
mander of the Post, Rev. Colonel Gran
vile Moody, ordered that madam should
be stopped at the gate, and required to
send her nicknacks in by the prison
guard. Madam resented this as person
al insult, and stormed and took on at q
terrible rate. But the order was impera-
tive and she had TO submit. She return.
ed home, however, in terrible rage and
told her grief to her husband, who was
guilty Of the indiscretion of giving out
publicly that he would properly resent
the insult 10 his wife on the very first
occasion that he should meet Colonel
Moody. Hearing OF the threat Colonel
Moody soon managed TO meet and pass
Mr.. Thurman in such Close proximity on
the street that he could not help seeing
him; but the 'sinsult" WAS never resented,
md sEoept 10 tnrn vep.pale Mr.. Thur
man gave no signs a carrying out his
threat Of but an hour or % before.

BILLY HARRISON.
ARRANGED for any number of Wing voices, and set

keep their mouths shut, or they may take cold In
their throats
With my old dog Csso and my doubled barrld gun;
Oh! went down to North Bend to give the game Q
run,
And the first man met there was Billy Harrison
Billy Harrison, he's the child for to fight,
From de morn,s first blushin' to the ewes dim
He chucks 'em in the belly. and raps them ON the
TIL they scarce know which way to look for de
blows.
Far out in de west, where lib de squattsr,
Who hunt Wild his rifle, and trap for mink and
otter,
Old Harrison dashed when de fuss was just .
brewin,,
And he made things fly like streak Of blue ruin
He Knocked 'em just as straight as Gods on plat
ter,
Red skins or red coats It made no matter;
He didn't give 'em long for to pray and to blud-
der,
They had to start soon, one road or de udder.
But cherry dog they say has his day,
And tia true old huntsF ought to have fair play;
Corr lo1e rs and bacon Is as good as de gold, So
But they grow rather tough when the teeth gots
old.
Den de war bein' over, he pitched down here,
Raised his log house first, then began for to

And Is long a. Old Tip has foot hold there,
The hungry and thirsty are welcome to q share.
There's sly old rogue, though his skin is Martin
(ten);
He's q fox inside, of that I'm sartin;
He's robbed the big hon roost bout long enough,
And it's time Old Billy had turn at the stuff.
While Matte stands hissin' the bloodhounds ON,
In the cold, dry trail where the braves are gone;
The Old Fox Hound Tip had his eyes on him,
And the thief's nsek,s gone Is sure a. giim.
Then the old Chie s tolls shall all be well paid,
And his vsr-worn bones on the down bed laid;
While We sing 10 the banjo, good bye to the Fox.
Long life to the heroof the dry hard knocks.
