VOLUME XXI. LOWELL MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, APRIL 30,188(;. NUMBER 45.

LOWELL JOURNAL BY J AS. W . H I N E .

K I H T O K I A L C O M M E N T .

—On the subject of civil service reform, which it denomiiuites "ideal politics,'"

t he Detroit Free Press has positive con-

victions like the man, who, when asked hy the minister if he was a christ ian, re-plied: '•Well. I guess I am. hut I think

not." The Free Press speaks very h igh-ly of the "h igh ideal" hut at the same t ime it comes r igh t down off the Ideal p la t form and hugs sister Real, descen-dent of the late A. Jackson, author of a very popular work entit led "To the

Victors Ixdong the Spoils."

—The scramble for the late J u d g e Withey ' s judicial shoes has a l ready

commenced. The funera l of the late J u d g e W i t n e y will not he held for some days yet . If any th ing can he said to d raw a blush of shame to the face of one of these deiperately aggressive aspirants we hope the Lord will move someltody

to say it . 0 temporal O Mores!

—Last Sunday there was a big demon-

strat ion in Chicago by the socialists. The red flag was numerous and the irtottoes fiery. Over 4.000 agitators

were in line. Is t he t ime coming when the red flag must supplant the s ta rs and stripes? Is a Republic a doubtful ex-per iment: Is Uncle Sam a coward';

—The JorRNAL would not if it could

do any th ing to prevent another fusion of the democratic and greenback parties of

Michigan. I t l)elieve8 that the republi

can par ty will, in the long run, m a k e more out of such a union than ei ther

of the other fwirties. Fuse, brothers,

coalish.

—The Harbor Springs Independent

says there was a big shower of fish a t Gross Village on Monday. By inserting

the missing word (stories) af ter fish the reader is left to infer tha t Charley Hampton was mak ing political speeches

at Cross Village tha t day .

—Congressman Cornstock has intro-

duced a bill to increase the pension of Gen. Stephen Champlin 's widow from

$30 t o $50 a month . Many G. A. R. pe-titions for this increase have been pre-

sented.

—The Knigh t s of Labor are opposed to strikes. So are the people. And so

are the corporations. I t would seem tha t all this combined opposition ought

to be able to put a stop to strikes.

—To-morrow, May 1, is the day gener-ally supposed to have been designated

as s t r ike d a y . T h e JOURNAL hopes t h e

day will pass wi thout any such ca l am-

ity.

—Washington society is anxious to find

out wha t church the President's prospec-

t ive bride at tends. The poor g i r l s new l i n n e t will have to catch it, sure.

—Ex^President Ar thur is physically

in a bad way and it is feared he cannot live long. H e is suffering great ly f rom

kidney disease and insomnia.

—The laboring man's road to prosi)er-

i ty is not through strikes and over the remains of destroyed propejjy. There is

a way, but it is not that way.

—In our floral offerings of spring the

JOURNAL sees no impropriety in present-ing Attorney General Garland as a

- ' da i sy . "

—When the Washington reporters get

t h rough thumping Gen. Logan they will

know more about lost t ime than they do

now.

—It Is expected that there will be a

great many "str ikes" to-morrow, May 1.

None can tell wha t the day will bring

—Jeff Davis was honored with the "greatest ovation of his life." Apr. 27, a t

Montgomery, Ala.

—Michigan will get its share of the

regular annual appropriations and abuse

this year .

—If this th ing continues it won' t be long before Uncle S a m will have to strike.

A week ago to-day Mr. J . C. Tra in was suddenly str icken down with terri-

ble pains in the back over his right hip

and rendered almost entirely helpless. He was assisted to his hotel and placed on his bed where he suffered the most

excrucia t ing pains for several days . Not until Monday could his clothes l»e

removed from his body. The sl ightest movement of a l imb or any part of his body would throw him in to spasms. H e

began to improve on Tuesday and has been gaining since. It is hoped he will

soon be himself again.

The Grand Rapids Democrat seems to t ake special delight in publishing com-

plaints against the D.. G. H. & M. Rai l -way. The latest is a labored article f rom a "Traveler" whose wife got a

cinder in her eye The cinder, it is

alleged, came from the coal used by the D.. G. H. & M.. and "Traveler" coldly

refuses to travel on that road anymore . He will iiour his weal th into the lap of some other corporation whose cinders

a re not so ill mannered as to c l imb up into an inoffensive eye. Irt the m e a n -t ime the Old Reliable D , G. H. & M.

will continue t o d o business at t he old s tand, making its runs on t ime and furn ish ing the best of accommodations to the t ravel ing public. There isn't a

better lot of conductors and employes on a n y road in Michigan than those e m -

ployed on the D., G. H . & M. and the ma ingemont of the road is first-class

throughout . The article of "Traveler" in the Democrat ought to l)e put on ice

—with its author.

of receiving benefit and favorable rejHirts have been received from t ime to time

until the sad announcement of his sud-den death, caused no doubt by heart disease. He was 00 years old on the 21st

day of April. W i t h great abil i ty and

fidelity he has filled high [tositions in life. The dea th of such a man is. as men view

Those were her last words, and al though even-thing tha t could be done to resus-

citate her was done she died about one o'clock. The cause of her dea th w a s undoubtedly apoplexy as she was a large woman and of full habit. She was 60

years of age and was born in Erie Co., New York: was married to Mr. Gross

Tiie Lowell a n d I lu t t le Creek P ro jec t . Last week's Hast ings Journa l says: A meeting was called last week, upon

the spur of the moment , to hear l ion . Henry Willis of Battle Creek, relative to the projected railroad f rom Lowell to Battle Creek. Mr. Willis submit ted some figures that made a n impression ujiou the audience, and in his address gave assuram-es tha t proper aid would be extended if the people along the route will take hold of the mat ter . W e are of the opinion that the route is much more feasible and certainly as ap t to l-e built as the Kalamazoo line. Our o w n idea is to build the line f rom here to Lowell, and let the lines south of lien-do the bidding for a while.

The Hasting's Democrat says: Hon. Henry Willis of Bat t le Creek

addressed an audience a t the court house on Friday evening, in regard to a railroad f rom Battle Creek, via Hast -ings and Free port, to I / ) well. Mr. Willis hail no definite proposition to make, but was of opinion that if an organization could lie effected, the r ight of way secured and the grade made ready and thN furnished, the Grand Trunk would iron and equip the road. The estimated cost of doing this, t ak ing into account the old grade north of this city, would Ik- about $2300 per mile, and the distance Is 4i miles. This brief s ta tement embodies the entire mat ter , but it is difficult to approach our people on this subject without something more definite. If the Grand Trunk will make a distinct proposition, as above, there is no doubt the road might be secured, be cause everyone knows not only the value of such a n enterpris e to the jKmple of Barry and Kent counties, and the cities named, but also its importance to the railroad company. The Grand Trunk owns the Detroit & Milwaukee, which passes through Lowell, and also the Chicago & Grand Trunk, at Bat t le Creek. The projected line would make a convenient and the shorest link be-tween the two t runk lines and be an im-portant feeder to both, while at the same t ime offering a shorter route to the lumber regions of Northern Michigan. There is no use in wasting words on this mat te r . If Mr. Willis can offer any definite proposition, he will find the people along the line ready to meet and treat with h im, and the project can Ite pushed to completion before next winter. We all want the road but need something substantial to work tqion to secure it.

The Freeport Herald says: The rail-road meet ing a t Hast ings last Friday evening a l though rather an impromptu affa i r was fa i r ly a i tended and the class of men present augured more for the u l t imate success than the numerical number . Mr. H. Willis gave a lengthy talk upon the building of railroads in

Eneral. and touched briefly upon the iwell ami Battle Creek line in par-

ticular. H e said he would do all in his power to induce the Grand Trunk Com-pany to equip and operate the read and did not doubt tha t the Company would endorse the project . The Hastings people express a preference for the Battle Creek line, m a n y capitalists there saying they will double their sub-scription for a road to Battle Creek, over and above their donation for the Kala-mazoo road. Others who did not sub-scrilie any th ing for the Kalamazoo road say they will g ive freely for the Lowell & Battle Creek line. Upon the whole our railroad prosjiec-ts are by no means discouraging.

Not having a copy of last week's Hast-ings Banner we aie not able to republish

its report. W e agree with the Demo-(-rat. however, that there is little use of

talking unti l so u e definite proiiosition

is submitted. Let us have the pnq -

osition. Mr. Willis.

"Well, we must be given to hospital-ity; and after all. it is pleasant to have it in our power to entertain our city friends who can so easily run up here for a day or two when not able to spare time from business to go to fashionable resorts where they find less rest and re-creation. Now, Lizzie, please see that the rooms are in good order, and tell Jane to make some fresh cake. I hope our brandy peaches are not all gone, for gentlemen like them. See, too. how we are off for wine. It is a good addition to pudding sauce, though I don't ap-prove of using wme freely at the table. These days, when there is RA much talk about temperance, and we are expected to set a good example, it's perhaps ns well to dispense with it a t dinner time. Though in my younger days, and in my father's house, we always had it on the table.

The expected guests arrived in due time, and with good appetites for their dinner. The pudding was pronounced excellent. Mr. Clancy passing his plate for a little more sauce, i At tea time he helped himself plentifully to wine jelly, and Mrs. Wilber thought partook rather freely of the brandy peaches, while she did not quite like his excited manner of talking. His eyes glistened he talked rapidly, and altogether so little like his usual quiet self, that his friend Jack Dayton in a half wondering tone said:

" W h y , Clancey, the fresh country air seems to have exhilarated you; I never before saw you in such high spirits!''

Mr. Clancy turned pale, then flushed, and with a half sad glance toward Miss Lou Dayton replied:

" I am making the most of pleasure now, for I must take the return train to New York immediately."

"Will Clancy what do you mean? Re-turn to New York this evening! Why, I thought we had all accepted Mrs. Wil-bur's kind invitation for over Sunday!"

"You can't attend to any business to-i4'or row, Mr. Clancy," said Lizzzie; "so do stay with us, now you are here!"

"PreiKisterous! What can you do of any im{)ortance in New York until Mon-day?" exclaimed Jack, resting a hand on his friend's shoulder.

"Go to the Evil one!" said Clancey, with a wild glare that startled all, aschey left the table. "That's what I'm like-ly to do!"—when away he rushed to-ward the depot.

Jack, thinking his friend must have suddenly become crazy, said he had le t -ter follow: and advised his sister to re-main until Monday. He was "sorry for the sad termination of thoir visit," e tc.

Not one of that little company knew that Will Clancy had once been given to too free use of intoxicants. After a fearful struggle he had become, as i.e upposed, fully reformed. And now,

doine well in business, with bright pros-pects before him for a happy life, he-was a new man. Had he known tho nature of the sauce to the pudding, he would have politely refused it. But the sweetened sauce tiad jus t enough wine not to smell of it more than of any care-fully used flavoriag. But being follow-ed up by what was called lemon jelly— though in reality wine^ jelly—and by brandy peaches placed before the young man, who was exceedingly fond of peaches, the demon awoke in him; he helped himself freely, then, wildly crav-ing more, felt that he was lost, and wish a cry of despair such as none could for -get, left his friends, to return to the city.

All felt uneasy. His last words haunted Mrs. Wilbur. She alone sus-pected the cause of his strange actions, and wondered if she could hold herself guiltless. She had declared that wine could not do any harm in pudding. But what about th« other enticing forms in which it—in fact stronger liquor—had been used? Had she not noticed how fast her favorite dish of brandy peaches usually disappeared when gentlemen were at tea? And did not some exper-ience with the world give her an inkling as to their effect upon Mr, Clancy?

A restless Sabbath day they all spent, and Mrs. Wilbur's feelings were not quieted when the text was giyea out: •'Am I my brother's keeper!' In a clear, forcible manner the minister showed how. in many apparently innocent ways, we may lead a brother astray, and in so doing not be left guiltless.

Her fears were only too true. In a sad but t ruthful letter. Mr. Dayton wrote of tho downfall of his friend, and spoke of his sister's wrecked happiness and complete prostration through the shock. "And it has all come about through use of wine and brandy in cook-ing—wine in a disguised form Had it been placed openly on tho table, Will says he would have refused it, as ho hai

many times since he pledged himself to refrain; but he never dreamed of the aloeping lion being roused in him through tho insidious form in which the serpent was hidden a t your table. Wo both plead that you will never again thus lead one into temptafion."

On reading this sad letter, Mrs. Wil-bur resolved that wine should never ap-pear again at her tanle In any form whatever.

About ten days ago Purdon accompa-nied Deputy-Marshal Hughes on a raid among the illicit distilleries of Grundy County, Tenn.. and captured and dettroyed several stills. Between twelve and one o'clock yesterday morning fifteen moon-shiners rode into Manchester, determined to have Punion's life. Seven broke into his house and the rest surrounded it. Pur-don met them with a revolver as they en-tered and a terrible battle enKuetl.

Two moonshiui rs fell to the floor m r-tally woundtd and the gang ivtreated b it they had succeeded in fatally voun ing Purdon. Disabled as ho w a s. h-siez-d a donble-barrelec' shot gun and fired into the retreating gang and two more fell mor-tally wounded. Purdon then fell dead be-side th>'body of one of his victims.

Taken from Hie County .lall at Spring-Uriel. Mo., by a Mob of Mankeil Men, tho Notnrlons Wlfo-Munlorrr Is Lyncheil— Illnlory of Ills Crime.

| Srnixui'iEi.n, Mo., April 28.—Thero were | no habeas corpus proceedings hero yester-! day in the ease of (Jcorge E. Graham' | charged with the murder of his wife, Sarah I E. Graham, on the Molloy farm, on tho i last night of last September, as at a few

minutes before two o'clock in tiie morufng a party of men took Graham out of the

1 jail and hanged him to a tree until dead, j . Tho lynching took place about 2:20 i o'clock,"and after the men had finished

their work they departed as quietly as they had come. About six o'clock Sheriff Donnell and the guard went over to the spot and cut (iraham's body down. They then conveyed it to Paxson's undertaking establishment, where Coroner Z. Vanpoose,

i assisted by Prosecuting-Attorney Palmer-son, conducted the inquest.

The following notice was found on Gra-ham's body.

"When the coroner is in possession of this paper Georgo E.Graham will be dead and as little punishment will have been inflicted as if he had been hanged by legal author-ity. It is a matter ot right to the com-muiiity and justice to humanity that we, the 'three hundred,' ignore tho law in this in-tanco. We recognize the fact that our criminal statutes are not equal to all occa-si' ns; thereloro wo have resolved to re-iin vo from our midst the worst criminal who has ever infested our county. Ho gets the benefit of clergy that we may hereatter nnd forever live and bo without his pres-ence and vicious influence.

••We heartily welcome all strangers to citizenship who are puro of purpos- aud act in good faith, but wo pve this to the world as a warning to ex-convicts and murderers who may hereafter invade our countv to impose on our credulty. Wo also give warning that any person or per-sons of anv rank or station who daro to discover tin actors in this tragedy will bo surely mid speedily dispatched to hell, where nil things are revealed to tho curi-ous. In justice to the memory of Sarah Graham, a loving wife and dear mother, whose lifo was sacrificed at tho altar of Hecate, we subscriba ourselves.

C I T I Z E N S O F G I I E I I S C O I S T V . M o .

An addendum read as follows: •To S H E R I F F D O N S E I . I . : Keep your

mouth shut if you recognized any of us or you will dio th'u death of a dog."

To the last Graham protested that Cora Lee nnd Mrs. Molloy were guiltless of complicity in the murder on the farm.

(Georgo E. Graham formerly• lived at Fort Wayne, Ind.. and had twice served in the penitentiary at Michigan City. While there Mrs. Emma Molloy. the temporaiwe evangelist, became interested in him. nnd tried to reform him when his ln>l term had expired. Thus he became acquainted with and married Cora Lee. Mrs. Moiloy's adopted daughter. Prior lo his marriage he assured Mrs. Molloy that his first wife, Sarah Graham, had se-< ured a divorce while he was in prison. This she had done, but they were after-ward remarried. Graham, to free himself from a prosecution for bitjamy, then in-duced his first wife to meet him in St. Louis, whence he was to take her to Springf. dd and endeavor to setilo tho trouble. After leaving St. Louis with her husband Mrs. Sarah Graham was never seen alive bv anv one who knew her. Her relatives agitated the matter and a search resulted in the find-ing of her body in an abandoned well on tho Mollov farm near Springfield. Gra-ham. Cora" Leo and Mrs. Molloy were at once arrested. The preliminary examina-tion resulted in the holding of Graham as principal and the two women as acces-sories. He made statements that impli-cated the women, although bo was re-garded as amoral monstrosity and a man who never told the truth when he could avoid i t ]

BOSTON', April 27.—Mrs. Wendell Phillips died at her homo on Commou slreel .Sat-urday evening. Mrs. Phillips had been nn invalid ever since hor marriage, and was not even of strong health previous to that. Her maklon name was Anno Green, she being the daughter of Benjamin (ireen, ol Boston. The young girl joined herself to the anti-sluve-y cruse with the w hole of that family in tne year 1834. She was engaged to Wendell Phillips two years after. The married life of Wendell Phil-lips and his wife was n most congenial one, he caring for her with steadfast de-votion nnd she being a source of strength to him. It is said that Mr. Phillips' con version to the abolition faith was largely due to the infliieneo of his wife, who was a believer in the despised doctrine of thir-rison before her marriage.

K A N S A S I ' ITV. Mo., April 2^.—Advices from Topeka are to the-effect that a gen-tleman just in from the country reports that on Sunday thewifeof .laeobFreimuth, a homesteader in S -ward County, was cru-elly murdered and outraged by Fritz Uupin. n half-witted liermau. during the absence from home ol her husband. Un the discovery of the dead body of Irs wife Mr. Freimuth Ivcame a raving maniac, and after wundering idiout for some time wild with frenzy. finally seized a shot-gun and blew his brains out. A posse set out on a search for Uupin, whom it had been discovered was the mur-derer, and were successful. Some specula-tion was indulged in as to the proper method of ridding tin- world of him. but not much time was consumed in d••liberat-ing. A fractions and s;> riled horse was secured and middled. One end of the long Inriat was then fastened around his neck nnd the other extremity attached to the pommel of tho saddle. 1 lie horse was then started, and. junid the shouting )( the men and cracks of revolvers and

rifles, the frightnied animal ti.re madly away. After a run of nearly five miles the beast fell, exhausted, and the lifeless body of the murderer was loosened as soon as the men came up. Th • lariat had been drawn so tightly that his head was almost severed from iii- body. The features showed that he had die 1 a terrible death. The body was left lying on the prairie un-covered.

THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

Mrs. Udell of Grand Rapids, by special

request, sang for the convention, wi th the spirit and understanding, also.

The Memorial service was unusual ly

interesting. The " In Memoriam" by Mrs. W. T. Remington, of Alio, was one

of the most creditable productions pres-ented li> the convention. Others con-

tributed to this sacred service. Mrs. Dr. Whitfield, of Grand Itapids,

addressed the convention on the subjec t f prison reform. The object of prison

discipline is r e f o n n . Reform measures as a rule only relieve the hardness of

prison life. Only one prison (in Elmira ,

N. Y.) is conducted on right principles.

Others ladies took part in the discussion and the conclusion seemed to be tha t Ihe prime cause of prison l ife and the great hindrance to reform is the liijuor

l iafilc and the remedy is to remove the

vil,

Mrs, Boise, of Grand Hapids. read an interesting pa|)er on "Reminiscences of

Work and Workers in the F i f th Dislricl ," It was SI) PMHI that it was ordered print-

ed in the minutes of the convention. Mrs. W. Burton of Grand Kaptdsgave

an address on "socml Puri ty ." She said

she had found no t ime to prepare a pa-per because of the constant calls lo run and snatch the wrecks of moral impur i ty

f rom the depths of degradation.

THURSDAY EYENINO.

Opened with singing by the Baptist hoir. Prayer by the Rev. Mr. Powell.

Miss Clara M. Wheeler, by request , gave a recitation, displaying excellent

elocutionary powers. Mrs. C. H . John-soif. President of the Sixth District

Union, delivered a well prepared address on "The dr inking was according to L a w . " borrowing the tit le of her subjec t

f rom the ancients. We. as a nat ion, are 110 years old and to-day we live in

the electric light age. Moral reforms should keep step with material progress.

Men are born fo r the t ime. Wendell

Phillips lived m a n y years a m a r t y r and died a hero. The batt le lie fough t was

a hard one but not to be compared t o the batt le against king Alcohol. His

work was lo set men's liodies f ree f r o m bondage: our work is lo save their IKKI-

iesand souls. Beer, whiskey, r um, cider

and narcotics are what ail t he American people to-day.

The speaker referred to the work of the Crusade" as the beginning of organized

effort of women against t he liquor t r a -ffic. and recited glowing accounts of

wha t women have accomplished for the home, since then. She saw more to do.

From the nat ion 's capital down the fight mus t l)e kept up . Not long ago t h e

President gave a supper wi th e i g h t k inds of wine and f ew turned their glasses

down. W i t h six miles of saloons in

Cincinnati and seventeen miles of sal-oons in New York City the task l>efore

us is not an easy one. But we are a christian nation and we are fighting fo r

personal l iberty, for God. home and n a

live land. " A n d the dr inking was a c -cording t o l aw." We who wear the

whi le ribbon, or the blue ribbon, or the red ribbon (our national colors), are here

to combat legal sophistries. W e believe in education, consecration and concen-

tration in our work. We must all join

hands and work together for temperance . The speaker thanked the "g rand men

of Michigan" who in the Legislature of 1883 voted for the educational t emj ie r -anee bill. [Those same men. however,

have been cursed by prohibition par ty

organs and leaders for not th ink ing j u s t as they do—ED. 1 Mrs. Johnson said t h e

juveni le temperance organizat ions are the f u t u r e s tanding a r m y of the nat ion.

M, H. Walker , of Grand Rapids. I>eing

invited to address the convention, m a d e some well t imed remarks. H e sjKike of the great crises of the past and predict-ed the early coming of another grea t crisis in the history of our counl ry . It

seems as if Providence al this t ime is mak ing a special effort in behalf of t he

h u m a n race, and right here is to be

fought the great battle which is to de-cide our destiny as a people. A Repub-

lic is but an ex|)erimenl as yet . If it fail it is a fearful fai lure. Our resources

and opjiorlunities are greater t han those of any other nat ion and it is our d u t y to make of them the l)esl jxissible use.

Mr. Walker sjs)ke of some of the grea t evils to contend with, Including mor-monism and immigrat ion of dangerous

elements f rom foreign countr ies . H e also spoke of the increasing power of our

l a rge cities, which are growing fou r t imes as fast as the villages a n d towns.

The cities rule the count ry and whiskey rules the cities. The liquor traffic in-

creases faster t han the population. The present labor-agitation he said is largely

due to liquor. Still, the Amer ican j)eo-

ple in the main are in favor of good government suid when aroused will put

down this great evil of intemjieranoe.

He saw encouraging signs in Georgia,

Rhode Island, and other states, and temperance jKMiple have reason to re-joice over victories already won.

Li I t i e Oneta Sjtring admirably recited

an appropriate selection.

Mrs. Boise, in a very neat little speech re turned thanks to ihe Lowell W. ( ' . T.

U. for doing HO much for the c o m f o n of the delegates and visitors.

Miss Whoeler gave a recitation wi th an echo a t t achment , showing a well

EDITOR LOWELL JOURNAL. My Dear

Sir;—I was entertained by one of the

leading families of Georgia yesterday, whoe? plantation is where the "Boys in

Blue" camped, and listened to some of the most thril l ing incidents i l lustrat ing

the ludicrous as well as the terrible side of the conflict of Armies. The p l an t a -

tion is one of the most beaut i fu l spots on ear th , surrounded by sceneries indeecri-

bably grand. The plantat ion, consisting of nine hundred acres, was owned by

The late Rev. Col. Howard , whose f a m -ily are one of Ihe most cul tured you will

meet in any count ry . The point in quts -tion was desirable as a camping place,

hence our cavalry made a gal lant dash

with shouts of victory (anticipated), on both sides. They were repulsed, h o w -

ever, and beat a hasty re t rea t while the ladies of this fami ly waved their h a n d -

kerchiefs to cheer the confederates, aud

welcomed them almost w i th the " t i m -

brel and the dance," a s they re-erected their flag, only to be torn down the nex t

hour, as the "boys in blue"' re turned

again, dr iving eve ry th ing before them, t ak ing possession in the name of Fa ther

Abraham, never to be routed. Here they pitched their tents and as by i n -

stinct, the first work they did was to go

fishing, which in an ordinary way would

not have provoked hostility, but when

they recited to me the method adopted

by the "Yankees ' ' i t t h rew me into grea t

embarassment and I prayed for the i n -genui ty of an editor t ha t I m igh t f r a m e

a plausible excuse for m y coun t rymen ,

while sharing the unbounded hospital-i ty of this representative family . I fi-nally suggested t ha t t hey resorted to the

expedient of cu t t ing the d a m of the fish pond because they were too bashfu l to

ask for hook and line, else they were

dest i tute of skill to use them. They therefore drained the artificial lake and caught the fish in bulk, regardless of the

cost to the owners of cons t ruc t ing the

lake, and raising the fish. But they fu r t he r recited tha t they entered c o m -

plaint to the command ing officer, and he reprimanded the Y'ankees and sent

them to repair t he d a m , when, lo! and

behold! they tore down their beaut i fu l stone wall fence to repair t he damage ;

the remedy being worse than the disease, I am therefore doubt fu l if my apology and chari ty for the "b lue coats" were

properly appreciated. One thing, however , they remember

with intensified interest , and they see a

Providence in the incident, viz. xmr sol-

diers were playing cards under some large tree.5 near the house, and l ightning

s t ruck the tfees. while several men fell senseless. They nursed them t o l ife again, a f t e r which t h e y stole the last

t u r k e y tha t was hid in a flour barrel. Now, Mr. Editor, w h a t could I offer in excuse for such ingrati tude? Even a pet

chicken was stolen and not a minister in the crowd, to interpose an objection. Should any survivor of this company

chance to see these lines he ought to e x -press his g ra t i tude to m e for my feeble

a t tempt to apologize fo r his conduct . I have some very curious specimens cf

soap stone, cement and lime rock, also marble and sundry valuables. H a d I t ime should be tempted to visit t he gold

mines of our Lowellites of whose where-abouts and prosperity you are conver-s a n t . D . O . BALL.
