Bnrdette on the stump.
Robert J. Rurdette, of the Barling,
ton Hawkeye, burpt out of his sanctum
on the 4th of July, and desolated a su°
burban town with an oration, from which
we quote: *
“Why have we assembled here to
day ? What means this vast concourse
of people, these waving banners, these
strains of soul-stirring music, this glit
tering array of beauty, patriotism and
intelligence ? As I face this immense
multitude, 1 am impressed with one
thought, that rushes upon my very
soul and struggles in vain for utterance.
It is the thought that I am not going
to be able to make one-half these peo
pie hear a word I say. It is not a grand
thought. * I/ 1 1 /11 // r f
It is not even a brilliant thought.—
But it is true, and the truth is worth
far more than brilliancy. And I will
tell the truth every time I get an op
portunity. It isn’t often that I get the
chance. What with' trying to reconcile
lice’s weather predictions and the
President's policy, a man has to bo vig
ilant, and lie awake nights and watch
bis chances, in order to get an opportu*
nity to tell a little truth, once a week,
and yet, this has nothing to do with the
Turkish war.
Why, then, I repeat, why are wo as*-*
scmbled here to-day ? To rejoica that
we are a free people, endowed with the
inalienable rights of life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness at long range
To rejoice that the precious boon and
heritage of freedom is ours, bequeathed
us by the fathers who fought, bled and
died, that I and mine aud you aud
yours might breathe tho air of freedom.
Aud we rejoice to-day, we are proud
and happy and glad, glad, that our fath
ers died for us instead of compelling us
t) die for them. There were great,
grand men. In fact, they were, many
of them, groat grandfathers.
It is sweet to die for one’s country.
It seems to me-that I, too, would glad
ly, oh how gladly, add my name to the
list of the great and good, aod die for
my country —of old age. I would die
sooner if it was thought necessary, but
I haven't got time. lam too busy.—
But if any sacrifices are needed next
Centennial, they may call on me, and I
will either come or send a hand.
Our fathers died for us. They died
willingly and gladly. But if they could
come back to-day and see what kind of
a crowd they died for, quarelling over
the President’s policy, wrangling over
the currency and some of them trying
to pay a dollar’s worth of debt with
ninety cents worth of money, talking
politics twenty-three hours a day and
praying so seldom that our knees get
rusty, drowned out by the rain, devour
ed by grasshoppers, they would, if they
had it to to do over again, live nine
thousand years and only die then when
they had to.
And yet ours is a glorious country.
A wonderful, magnificent country. It
is marvellous. Asa high school girl
would say, it is “nioe.” Look abroad
over our land, turn the pages of histo*
ry, and see what the mighty genius of
progress has wrought.
But one short century ago the corner
stone of this mighty fabric was laid,
amid the thunder of cannon and the
rattle of musketry, canopied by the
smoke of battle and cemented with
blood. A iitt:o band of struggling,
needy patriots, half clad, poorly fed,
with only a few dollars in the national
treasury. To-dav the sun of one hun
dred and one years breaks upon the
land— wherever it isn’t storming—and
where do we stand ? A billion dollais
in debt.
Our fathers died, but they had no
railroads. If they had, they might
have died with less expense and trou
ble before they got to the war. Our
fathers never knew the ecstatic pleasure
of leaning out of a car window and
getting a red hot cinder as big as a pea
in their eye before they could look at a
tree. They had no telegraph, and rev*
er knew what a convenience it was to
pay forty cents to send a message fifty
miles, and then have the dispatch come
lagging a day or two after the man had
died of old age.
They had no kerosene lamps, and
they never knew what it was to light a
kitchen fire and take a balloon ascen"
sion out of the same can. They had
no United States signal service, and
never had fortysfive rainy days in a
month, with a tornado every wash day.
Their wants were few and simple.—
They didn’t need a great deal of weath
er, and wbat they hid was regulated
by the ground hog, and that reliable
weather bureau never made a mis*
take.
These men have passed away. In
their simple habits, their sterling hon
esty, their grand patriotism, their un
selfish devotion to principle, they pass*
ed from life into eternal lame. The
men of ’76 are gone. Ido not know
where, but they have gone somewhere ;
I do not see any of them here. If there
are any present, they will please rise,
for I am willing to be corrected when I
am wrong.
The 4th of July was invented by a
man whose name is dear to all Aaieri
can hearts—George W. Washington.—
By an ingenious arrangement the 4th
of July was so contrived by the inven
tor that it would always fall on a rainy
day. It has missed it only once in the
past twelve hundred years, aod on that
ouce it hailed all day. The 4th of Ju
iy was not the only invention of this
great and good man.
He invented a name that will fit two
thirds of tho boys of every generation
in America. A grateful people never
forget the fact, and Washington, when
Cnlljmui ©inm
at the zenith of his power, was nomina.
ted by acclamation for the capital of
the United States. Washington was
once discovered praying at Vally Forge,
and from the great stress laid upon the
incident by aU historians, it is judged
that is the only time anybody ever
caught him praying. He was a brave,
good man, but he dressed too much
like a member of a base ball club to be
elected President ia these days.
Learn Your Business Thorough
ly*
A young man in a leather store used
to feel very impatient with his employ
er for keeping, him, year after year, for
three years, “handling hides.” But hd
saw the use of it in after years, wheu
in an establishment of his own he was
able to tell by a touch the exact quali
ty of the goods. It was only by those
thousands of repetitions that the lesson
was learned, and so it is with evrything
in which we acquire skill. The great
army of the “ineatables” is large
enough ; we should none of us willing
ly join its ranks. The half-informed,
half-skilled iu every business, outnum
ber the others, dozens to one. It was
a good suggestion, worthy of being re
membered, which Daniel Webster made
to a young man who asked him if there
was auy “room in the legal profession.”
“There is always room in the upper
story,” said the great statesman.
The better you know your busi
ness, the better your chances to rise.—
If you drone through your allotted
tasks, without keeping a wide-awake
lookout on all that goes on about you,
your progress will be needlessly slow.
You can gather much information bv
making a wise use of your eyes and
ears, and, perhaps, be able to surprise
your employer in an emergency by step*
ping into the “next man’s” place and
discharging his duties satisfactorily.
A fine little lad, some twelve years
old, was employed in a telegraph office
in a Southern town last year when the
yellow fever raged so fearfully in that
section. All the operators were down
with it, and others sent on by the com
pany were attacked, No one knew that
the lad understood the business ; but
he had “picked it up,” and now kept
up communications between tho town
and the outer world all the time the fe
ver lasted.
- Ex-Gov. Morgan was once a clerk in
a storo in Waterlord. A trip to New
York was an eveut in those days, but
the young man had proved so faithful
that he was allowed to make the jour/
ney, and was entrusted with several
commissions, among them being one to
buy corn. He came back in due time
with mo in the old stage-coach, aud ih
quiries were made about the corn. The
price was very satisfactory, but the old
gentleman was afraid it could not be
good at so low a price. A handful
which the young man pu'ltd from his
pocket convinced him, but what was his
amazement to find that he had bought
two cargoes.
‘ Why, Edwin, what shall we do with
it?” he asked in consternation.
“I have disposed of of all you don’t
want,” said Edwin, “at an advance. I
stopped in stores as I came along. I
could have disposed of three cargoes if
I had had them.”
The profits were clear, and his etn®
ployer said the next morning, “We will
let someone else do the sweeping,” and
Edwin was made a partner though un
der twenty-one. If you have a talent
for business, it will bo found out.
Patronize Your Neighbors.
The growth of a neighborhood, vil
lage or town is simply the aggregated
improvement of its individual members.
If every citizen would give the prefer*
ence to the people of his own town in
his outlay, quite an addition might be
made to the number of successful men
in each neighborhood. Patronize your
own blacksmith, carriage maker, me
chanic, storekeeper and printer. Help
each other along, cultivate a pride in
the progress and thrifty appearance of
your town ; cast out that selfish jeal
ousy m a neighbor’s prosperity. There
is sufficient competition iu every call,
ing to keep prices as low as can be af
forded, and in nothing can the people
exercise a more benign influence than
in the encouragement of a brotherhood
trade and patronage.
It is the mutual interest of all to
have the largest possible number of busy
prosperous men in each community. A
successful man soon shows his success
in his surroundings ; he paints his
housß, erects new fences, sets out shade
frees, prepares a flower pot for his wife,
improves his land and culture, every
item of which change necessitates out
lay of money and labor. These im o
provements not only, benefit the fortu
nate prejector, but add to the character
and appearance of the whole village, at
tract the attention and admiration of
eveiy stranger who enters the place, in
duce new families to move into town,
and, best of all, stimulate the neigh-*
borhood to a rivalry iu the same line of
improving their surroundings. Let ev
ery person determine, for the coming
year, to patronize his neighbors, and
watch the good effect on the whole com
munity.
Do not mix lime with the food for
poultry. If you do, they will eat more
of it than is for their good. Let them
have access to it, and they will consume
all they need. The same substance in
the form of burned bones or shells is
generally preferred.
The matrimonial mine.
The other night old Blinkus, seeing
his son getting ready to go to a ball,
proceeded to give him some wholesome
advice on women.
“Tom, my boy, he said, filling up his
pipe, “I see you are getting your fan
cy togs on for a ball. Now I don’t ob
ject to balls, or any other kind of ra
tional amusement ; but L want to give
you a little advice, Tom; look out for
the women you meet there. A man
who goes round after women is a good
deal like a prospector hunting for a
mine You see a woman at a ball, and
she’s all frizzled up and rigged out in
silk, and powdered and painted wherevs
er her skin shows itself. These surface
croppings look pretty well, but if you
locate on the strength of ’em you’ll get
fooled every time. A woman of that,
kind is just like a salted mine. Don’t
you take any stock in her. She won’t
wash. If you want to prospect such a
location a little further, slide up and
take an assay of her conversation. Ah,
my boy ! Three per ccut. of intelli
gence, twenty-five of fashionable eti
quette, and the rest irivolity, conceit,
ignorance and vanity, mixed up_ in
about equal parts. Drop her - right
away. Such rock won’t pay to mill.—
If you got a patent for the claim you’d
never see a dividend come out of it as
long a3 you lived. The assessments to
keep the upper works in repair and the
lower levels from cavin’ in would land
you in the poor-house on a lightning
express, and some fine morning you’d
wake up to find your claim relocated
by somebody else.
The old man shook the ashes out of
his pipe aud continued :
“Sometimes you’ll strike a plain girl
in a common sort of of a dress. She
won’t be good looking, maybe, and
wou’t have any airs. The surface in
dications won’t show much, but before
you’ve prospected long you’re likelv to
come to somo good indications that will
pay to follow up. Rich stringers of
conversational quav.z and spurs of in
telligence showing up finely the deeper
you go. Pietty soou you’ll strike a
well-defined vein of so'id, prac deal
sense. That’s the sort of a nrne to
freeze to. Locate it as soon as possible,
aud get out your patent papers, a,d
you’ll have a regular bonanza to fal 1
back on lor (ho rest of your life. If
you Ihiuk the good claims are all tak
en up, y>m are badly fooled. This town
is lull of ’em. I’m an old prospector,
and I’ve traveled round a good deal.—--
If my time wasn’t taken up whh my
own mine, I know wheie there are
lots of prime locations only wailing for
some practical miner to come aloug and
develop. A woman’s heart, Tom, is a
mighty curious-thing. Take it in all
iti dips, spurs, angles, ramifications and
siuuosities, and it’s more of a puzzle
and a mystery than the whole Comstock
lode. Some fellows try to work it, and
by pure lucx strike it rich right off, in
places where old. experienced prospect
ors never s’posed there was any thing.—
Gitting the title to the property ain’t
the only thing; it’s keeping up the
proper developments, and seeing that
jumpers don’t get in aud encroach on
your claim. Some of these domestio
mines require an lawful lot of money
for machinery, and some of ’em can be
run on about nothing. Whenever you
get one of ’em and find you can’t run
it to advantage, the best thing to do is
to throw up your job as superintendent
and shut down the works.”
Slow But Sure.
The “sluw fighter” was a tall, raw
boned specimen of the Dike county
breed, and when he arrived in the mi
ning camp the boys began to have fun
with him—to “mill him,” as they call
it in the parlance of the mines.
He stood it for along time with per
fect equanimity, until finally one of the
party dared him out of doors to
fight.
He went. When they got all ready
and squared off. Pike county stretched
out his long neck and presented the tip
of his big nose temptingly close to his
tormentor : “I’m a little slow,” he
said, “and can’t fight unless I’m well
riled ; just paste me one —right on the
end of that smeller !”
His request was complied with.
“That was a* good ’uu,” he said,
calmly ; “but I don’t feel quite riled
yit”—„ turning the side of his head to
the adversary) —“pleacc chug me an
other lively one under the ear !”
The astonished adversary again com
plied, whereupon Pike county, remark
ing that he was “not quite as well riled
as he would like to be, but would do
the best he could,” sailed into the
erowd, and for the next teu days the
boys were engaged in mending bro
ken jaws, aud repairing smashed noses.
Evenings at Home.
The long evenings, which follow the
short days, are made, in some families,
the happiest of all happy times. The
cares of the day are ended ; the moth
er’s resting time has come ; the father
has dropped all sorts of business wor
ries and perplexities, and the whole
familv throw themselves with zest into
the innocent pleasures of the home cir
cle.
Solomon tells us that there is time
for all things; a time to weep, and a
time to laugh, to play, and to dance. —
Surely the time to laugh, to play, and
co dance comes most appropriately in
the long pleasant evening hours, when
The cares that infest the day
Fold up their tents like the Arabs,
And silently steal away.
It is well for the women of the house
hold to remember that the pleasant uy:

enings at home are strong antidotes to
the practice of looking for enjoyment
abroad, and seeking for pleasure in by
and forbidden places; for relaxation
and recreation will be indulged in some
how by most men, and happy are they
who find in the home circle the diver'*
sion they need. A lively game, an in
teresting book read aloud, or, in music*
al families, anew song to be practiced,
wi'l furnish pastime that will make an
evening pass pleasantly.
A little forethought during the day,
a little pulling of wires that need not
appear, will make the whole thing easy,
and different ways and means may be
provided for making the evening hours
pass pleasantly, and a time to be look
ed forward to with pleasant anticipa
tions. We visited once in a large fam
ily where it was the duty of each sis
ter, in turn, to provide 4he evening’s
occupation, and there was a pleasant ri
valry between them as to whose evening
should be the most enjoyable. The
brothers entered ful’v into the spirit of
the simple home entertainments, and
wore as loth to be obliged to spend an
evening away from home as their sis
ters and pareuts were sorry to have
them absent. Every one spoke of this
family as an uncommonly united one.
for each and every member showed
such a strong attachment for the home
to which each one contributed so much
pleasuro.

Boggs is a very sociable fellow, and
he likes to talk with any person he hap
pens to be traveling with. He made a
trip up the Little Miami railroad, the
other day, and found a seat alongside
of a solemn-looking man who kept his
gaze out of the window. Boggs tried
to catch his eye so as to opou conversa
tion with him, but he couldn’t do it;
it’s hard to catch a mau’s eye traveling
at the rate of thirty five miles an hour.
Boggs offered the man his paper to re: and
but he shook his head without looking
around. Tho conductor came along and
Boggs thought surely he must look
around uow, but he didn’t. A man in
front handed out two tickets, aud point
ed silently to Boggs’ companion. Boggs
began to grow uneasy. It was the
longest time he had ever been a stran
ger’s company without finding out
something about him —where he was
pointing fur, at least. The brakesman
caine that way with some water, at
length, and the man turned around to
get some. Boggs immediately avail
ed himself of the opportunity to say :
“Going’s far east as New York ?”
“No,” growled the man, as he re
moved his tobacco preparatory to drink
ing.
Boggs waited until the stranger had
quaffed a pretty little quaff, when he re
marked :
“New York is a dull placo at this
time a year anyhow. Mebbe you’re
striking for Philadelphia to sec wheth.-
er the old town’s changed any since the
Exposition ?”
The surly man gave an impatient
shake of the head.
“P’r’aps Cleveland’s your destina
tion ?” put in Boegs, not at all dis„
concerted.
“No,” the man growled.
“Can’t be you’re going this rounda
bout way to Chicago ?”
The stranger didn’t deign a reply of
auy kind to this. Then Boggs raised
up and twisted around a little, fronting
the stranger, and said :
“I s’pose you’ve no objection to tell
ing where you’re going ?”
“D n it,” cried the man, ll l’m
going for seven years !”
Then the Deputy Sheriff in front
told Boggs that he’d rather not have
folks talking to his prisoners, and
Boggs had not aoything further to
say.
Elue Dispatch : Two bad boys in
Erie fastened a package of fire.crack
ers to a goat’s tail. Result: At the
first sizziug of the fuse that William
goat’s hind heels flew out and the boy
that struck the match was telescoped
and thrown into a dirty pond of water.
Then, as the bang-bang of the Chinese
powder-squibs commenced, that goat
was se'zed with olephantine convulsions,
and the way he cut up would have dis
counted even Dan Rice’s noted trick
mule. The goat bounced six feet up
into the air, then came down like a keg
of dynamite, demolishing a pah of pants
and sent one of the hoys kiting over a
picket-fence, aod was so sharp in his
movements that none of the enemy es
caped, and, having danced over the flat
tened forms of the boys to his heart’s
content, that goat cleared a six-board
fence, chased a policeman, knocked over
three corner loafers, sent a baby carri
age flying into the gutter, killed two
dogs, upset an old swill-man, scared a
servant girl into hysterics, and finally
ran into a book agent and became en->
tangled in his legs, and the two rolled,
like two fighting dogs, over and over,
until they fell through a coal-hole.
