Moses, David, Seschylus and Julius Cesar
men who combined loftiest thoughts with
stoutest actiohs." Such men, however, are
few, for severe, physical labor is not conduc-
i've to mental activity. Yet such men as the
above prove that a military life If not too
long or too absorbing, is greatly promotive
turer afiirmed,Is also a good illustration of
this statement. He then gave copious ex-
tracts from Shakespeare's writings to prove
that he possessed extensive knowledge of
military affairs and was probably at some
period of his life "a soldier. The lecturer
showed greato knowledge of his subject, and
his rendition of choice Shal<esperian extracts
was very finel The noon hour was spent as
usual, in seekitg refreshments for the inner
man, and IN, posting up concerning
the coming events, as stated in the pro,
gramme. Great preparations are being made
for Wednesday, which is set apart for law
yers' and editors day. More representatives
of the press and bar are expected here this
year than ever before. Judge Morris, of
Crete, will be the presiding officer of the
lawyers part of the day, and this is q surety
that things will be conducted as they should
be. Hon. j. w. Donavan, of Michigan, will
deliver the annual address to the lawyers at
2 D. M, his subject being, "rhe Art of the
Advocaten In the evening II. Nj. Bushnell,
president of the Nebraska Press association,
will deliver tue annual address to the editors,
his subject being, SIN the City of Mexico"
Great expectations are entertained for the
Fourth. Ex-Governor Cumbach and Cor
poral Tanner will be the orators of the
day, and the evening concert by
DIR. Palmer's large chorus will undoubtedly
be worthy of the day we celebrate. so also
will be the display of fireworks. Captain
John Sherrell, of Crete, will be chief mar
shal of the day. and with number of able
assistants will see that the complicated ma
chnery of the day runs smoothly.
1t is fortunate for the lady reporters of
some of the papers that publish penny
wood-cuts of scenes on the assembly
grounds, that certain elderly artist Is so
susceptible to female charms. Cartoons and
load pencil sketches come cheap when
wheedled out of artistic admirers, anxious to
win the favor of the press and the reporters.
