Iregret exceedingly that I am una
bile TO meet with the loyal Irishmen of
Baxter on this momentous occasion.
NV heart will ever beat in unison
with the music of the old sod. The
shillalab, the poteen, the corn cob pipe
and the shamrock emblems OF
the Green Isle of the Sea-are ever
fresh in my memory, and if Kansas is
ever to be redeemed from crankism
aud general cussedness it must be by
the united efforts of the Irish people
and under the flag of our glorious
fatherland. c. GRAHAM HoRNoR.

sr. PATRIcK,s DAY.

The sons of Erin celebrated st. Pat
rick's anniversary today (Friday) with
one of the most brilliant and patriotic
DISPLAYS ever presented on our streets.
The procession was formed IN the rear
of Bacon's barber shop and stepped
out on River street precisely at III
O'Clock with Father A. X. Kane as
chief marshal and John O'COnnell,
Tarrence O'ConnOr and Col. William
Marci as assistants. The line OF
march was down Military street to
Bischofsberger's, thence east TO jim
Browns livery stable, cOuntermarch
10 the Occidental hotel, north TO Scotts
barn, east to the medical springs aud
south to the National hotel
All the civic and benevolent socie-
ties were well represented, including
the Father Matthew Temperance So-
ciety, in charge of j. &. Naylor the
St. Bridget Benevolent Association led
by Charles Fribley, and the Patriotic
Sons OF Ireland, commanded by Col.
Ed. Hold kins.
The parade in point of numbers and
general enthusiasm exceeded anything
we have had since the RangatoO
Guards had their big Fourth of July
celebration and Duncan of Pumpkin
Knocked The stuiiing out of the Amer
lean eagle.
The exercises Of the day were grand
aud sublime, but the banquet this
friday evening will probably eclipse
anything ever presented in this city.

abroad haye been invited and some

A RARE AND RICH OCCASION.


The golden wedding anniversary Of
Mr.. and Mrs. 4. Binns was celebrated
at their residence on Tuesday night.
Some persons who had come into pos
session of the fact, thought SO rare all
occurrence as welded pair being
spared to live together half century
should not pass unnoticed, SO by
private and preconcerted plan the VIC
tins of the plot were invited to take
tea and pass the evening with Mr.. and
Mrs. l.. Murray Perkins, which they
were enjoying until about 8 O'Clock,
when a messenger bore to Mr.. Blins
the word "that friend wished to see
him at home" Upon the arrival Of
himself and wife they found their
home possessed and now themselves
captured by about fifty OF their friends.
They surrendered TO arms and hearts
and let the holders of the fort have
their way. Mr.. Binns said sit was
more of u fright than a surprise"
Himself and bride were hidden 10 feel
perfectly at home, and they seemed
serene in entering upon this the third
quarto-centennial honeymoon.
A bridal feast was served, much
music enlivened the hours, most gent
al sociality reigned, and in time the
m0menious object of the assembling
received attention. Mr.. and Mrs. Binns
were seated together where all could
see and hear when Rev. Mr.. Bramkall
addressed them. referring to their mu-
tual admiration, courtship and union
formed tar away across the deep, hfty
years ago and expressed gratitude to
the good Providence that guided them
to home here in our midst, where their
example had become an encourage
ment To all who know them 10 live
right, where their exhibit OF uniform,
faithful and non-sectarian christian
life was an inspiration 10 every UNI
preiudiced observer to lead such a
life, etc, and then presented them q
purse containing $50 in gold, this
from the family, relatives aud few
of their hosts of friends. Here the es'
Unable pair now standing, were re-
uuested to join hands, while they were
reminded of their matrimonial vows
so long kept sacred, aud now could be
repledged by kiss, which was heart
ily done and their warm friends pres
ent were permitted 10 lavish upon
them heartiest congratulations. The
worthy pair passed this order as II
they had been through such eXpef-
fences before.
Still there was more to follow: their
thoughtful, firm friend, Mrs. NJ. v
Miller, had brought for each pair OF
slippers, which were presented with
the thought that the long time pill
grimage in LIES pathway might give
OCCASION tor well worn slippers to bt
replaced by new ones aud these would
newly fit them TO enter upon this new
era OF life. To all OF these expressions
Father Dinns now most feelingly re-
sponded in his usual well chosen ex
pressiye words. The brides cake wa
brought and the bride cutting it, thu
guests were served, when time bad'
them depart. This they did. declaring
it to he one of the happiest times o
their lives.
May the honored pair live to cele
brate their diamond wedding.
