"A Union Song "A Romantic Meeting
An Unpublished Letter,
- Etc. Etc -.

AUnIon song. sl
(Copy.) -
Come all you true lovers Of glory,
Come listen awhile to my song,
And when you have heard the whole story
Not one of you'll say am wrong.
All you that are true to the Nation
Attend to humanIty's call,
Come aid In your country's salvation,
And wind up the secession bali.
Come, now, let us all join together,
Our glorious old Union to save;
A few more light changes Of weather.
The Union in triumph will wave.
Come all you young men of the country,
And all you gray-headed ones, too,
Come out On the side of bright glory,
Ana give the old Union its due.
1t seems from the course they're pursuing
That we should arise one and all -
And save our good country from rum,
And wind up the secession ball.
Secession is trying to ruin,
Oh save us. Oh save us from thrall!
Let us now put an end to their dong,
And wind up the secession ball.
Our women and children are crying,
We're bound to attend to their call,
Our husbands and fathers are dying;
Oh! wind up the secession ball.
The country 1t has discomfited,
And caused many houses to burn,
And cold-blooded murder committed,
And widows and orphans to NOUN.
1t seems they will breed a famine,
They're pressing hard down on the poor,
And il you will closely examine.
Starvation is now ut the door.
They're calling again for assistance,
1t seems that they nothing can gain,
/ can see no use for resistance;
Their cause they can never sustain.
Come, let us arise from our slumbcrs,
Pursuing our path with delight;
Rushing through all that encumbers.
And put the secession to flight.
Though some may be tall as great cedars,
We're able to bring them all down;
Well shut up the mouths of their leaders,
And saw off the secession horn.
Well make them all sick Of their bargain,
While We have the Lord OH our side;
Wen mount Oil our glorious old wagon,
And on the old Union We'll ride.
I've never seen cause for rebelling;
'Tis treason in the highest degree,
And to think of the lies they are telling,
Is really distressing to me.
Now, if you would save the old Nation
And have the good Lord on our side,
just aid in your country's salvation.
And on the old Union We'll ride.
All hail to the glorious old Union,
Once more do we hope to enjoy,
And join it in sweetest communion,
And secessionism destroy.

Crops Looking Better,

A general summary OF the present crop
outlook of the Northwest would state
that the average condition is good. The
past week has been most favorable for all
kinds of grain, and while in some locali-
ties wheat is from O week to ten days late,
the average reports are cheerful and salts
factory in tenor. Reports of an inferior
stand OF grain are scattering, and the
causes producing such Il result are
purely OF local nature. In few
sections high winds have blown the soil
from the roots OF the young grain, but
these few localities have not been favored
with the warm rains which have OF late so
generally prevailed, and the light. sandy
nature OF the soil accounts largely for such
conditions. Reports gathered from differ
ent points on main and branch lines OF tho
St. Paul Minneapolis & Manitoba rail.
way are to the effect that wheat
is in as good an average
condition as could be hoped for and that
the weather of the past week has been all
that could be desired. The prevailing
cold weather following seeding was not
damaging to wheat, but on the contrary
caused it to stool well, and in but few
ISOLATED LOCALITIES
has it been drowned out. 1t is, more
over, owing to the backwardness
OF spring, and the prevailing cold
weather OF the early season that no
trouble from the clinch bug ia antici-
pated. Oats are doing fairly we'll, and
the increase OF acreage large. Corn is late.
Advices from Brainerd Mimi, are to the
effect that late rain has greatly benefited
crops in that section. In Olnsted county,
this state, small grain are coming up even.
ly with the exception OF some barley and
oats which failed to germinate. Late sown
grain here is all doing we'll. Corn is planted
between showers. From Madison, Oak, it is
learned that abundant rains have insured
large crop OF small grain and grass, but
corn is backward. Huron, Dak reports
corn as coming up, and wheat in the best
condition. Around Winona young grain
was nipped by a sharp frost some ten
days ago. Taken altogether the situation
at present OF growing grain can be consid
cred satisfactory, with a marked improve.

cradle nervousness and was asked about the
oil. The oil could not be found and at the
instance of local insurance agent the
woman was arrested. The house was in.

A Mysfarinus Disease.

CALDWELL, o Aug. 30.-A month ago q
mysterious disease appeared. 1t had some
characteristics of typhoid fever, and some
of malaria, aud whole families were attack
ed The malady was lingering and victims
rarely died under six or seven days. 10 the
course of fortnight nearly every family in
town was affected and the death rate be
came alarming. Many families left town.
Business lsamost paralyzed and funeral pro
cessions are almost constantly in the streets.
The physicians are nearly all worn cut and
medicine seems to do no good. The disease
does not appear to be infectious, except to
residents here, for outsiders are not affected
This leads to the belief that the disease
germs are in the water The town is very
old and has no system of drainage. The
number of deaths ia now twenty FIVE, en-
bracing both sexes and all ages. The topu
lation of the place is 1900. Country people
are afraid to come to town to trade, and it
is feared that number of merchants will be
compelled to assign.

The Government Printing Office

WARRINGTON, Aug. 3O-Representatve
Gallinger has completed bis minority report
upon the result of the investigation ofthe
printing committee into the administration
of the government printing Office. The re-
port is very long and bitterly critical of Pub
lie Printer Benedict and the maj ority of the
committee. 1t charges that the majority
suppressed important evidence which would
rebut the charge that the late Public Printer
Rounds had privately sold government
presses at ridicnlously small prices. 1t al
leges that Mr.. Benedict discharged union
soldiers and filled their places with COME d.
crates that the work of the Office s largely
iu arrears; that he improperly had access
to the record of evidence as it was taken by
the committee that he praoiiced rank fav-
oriiism in the awarding of contracts; that he
is not practical printer and that ne has by
false figures and statements imposed upon
Congress and the country. The report de-
tends Mr.. Rounds's administration as bonor-
able, Conscientious and able. and in conclu.
,i1n declares that enough violations of law
and evidences Of incomp etency have been
shown by the testimony to warrant the i'm
mediate removal from Office of T. E. Benz
dot, the present Public Printer.

THE REPUBLICANS in Congress accuse the DEM
ocratic administration of extravaganza in its ex-
penditures and yet, stated by Mr.. Beck in the
o. g. Senate yesterday, so wide was the scope of a
naval investigation provided for by resolution
introduced in the Senate recently by Mr.. Chand-
Ter, and passed by the republican members Of that
body, that it cost more than whole years ex-
pendture at the naval academy. That that im-
merse cost was incurred for good object is
proved by the fact that of all the enormous
amount of documentary testimony demanded by
tho resolution referred to, and supplied by the
Navy Department, mono has yet been used, nor, so
far as known, has sing Q volume of it been even
looked into.
