Those who attended Johnsou's circus la
night say that it was, considering the clr
cumstances under which the performance
was given, an excellent entertainment. The
performers are good in all their undertake
ingt, and were loudly applauded by the
audience. Tho clown whatever hit name
may be It tip-top, and Ills witty sayings
are enough to keep one laughing all the
time. The conceit alter the circus perform
ance.lt said to have been cry good. There
will be another exhibition to-night, when
all those who contemplate unending may
expect to see a good performance. Owing
to the fact that Mr. Johnson lost a very-
large cunvait by a lire in Louisluua, aud liU
new one Irom New lork net having yet ar
rived, he Is unable to seat his audiences as
comfortably at he could desire, but better
arrangements will lie made to-day, and to

idea of talking bad only coma to meet
with lnend! cud attitt In the uecoraiion
eeremonies. To-dav, all over the
country, people are ealhered to-
nether fur a like purpose wun
ourselves. Where granite rises In ttately
pilet in simple village churchyards In
lonely bamlett, are men and women con
zreitalod for the patriotic purpose, and to
day the nation it bright with a raiubow of
nowert where gentle nuet biooin lor our
cberiihed dead. Ho was glad that il is so,
and as a soldier ot his country, be could
afford to be eenerout on this oc
casion. Ho wat clad to know
that the United State had gathered thu
bones or soldiers known to bo confederate
dead and Dlaced them tide by tide
with those of our inldieri who fell fighting
the battles of the Union.
But why do we meet on here annually
on thu 30th of Mav to lav our floral offer
ings on tbe resting places oi our aeaa
soldiers'' We can do nothing for thm
now, they are beyond our reach to benefit.
1 o-day
" On Fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tent, arc spread."
What lesson du we learn what bone
Dts de we derive from these beautilul
curumonlesV We see groat cumbers
crowding to take part In them tbe young
thu uiMiiin tend tbe old all actuated bv
lovo of our country and reverence ot tno
heroes who died fur her. In this lore and
tbit reverence lie tbo perpetuity ol our
government, in tne olden lime, ine
people, dreaming of an ideal government,
ceased to be watchful, to be vigilant, and
lost their liber lie through their own fault.
Let us see to it that we do not thus per
mit ourtelves to be led astray. If we are
truo to ourielvet, success will crown our
experiment, and all nations pay tribute to
us. Thanking the audience for their
kind attention, he would give way to otb
ers.
OTUER M'KKCIIIS
Major Kujkendall was then introduced
and was followed by captain McCarty, bi t
owing to tbe fact that tbe Major spoke in
low tone and the Captain spoke very rap
idly, our reporter could not, being in a
crowd of people noisy tnd restless, catch
the words of the speakers. The commit
tee had failed to provide for our, or any
other reporter, any place where notes
could bo taken. There wai no table and
no chain. We had to do tb bett we
could.
THANKS TO CAIKT.
At the conclusion of Capt. McCarty
remark! Mr. Mertz advanced to the front
of the platfornvand laid vory truthfully,
too that they were indebted to Dr. Ca
toy for tbe pastage, through tho genial
aisombly, of tho act appropriate
ing $25,000 to build a monu
mont in the cemetery, and moved a vote
of tbankt. The quottion being put was
carried unanimously by a loud and hearty
" Aye. '
UABXT AFTER UORK.
Mr. Casoy returned thanks In spile of
the etl'orts of the Cairo brass band, which,
knowing that it makes good music, would
play, and kept tooting away at some dlt
tance from the (land all tbe time tbe Doc
tor wat talklnir. But ha returned tbankt
very handsomely, and tald be wat not tat
isflod with tht appropriation. Ho wanted
more. Ho wanted the general govern
raent to alto appropriate a turn of money to
the propoted monument, and he therefore
moved that the Meeting requett lion, liaao
Clements to uie hit bett endeavor to ob
tain tuch an appropriation. The quetllen
wat carried unanimously.
TUB END.
Then the meeting broke up, and eM
ail very tired moved off', on horseback
some, lu bugglet some, in wagons some,
ami a big crowd on loot, towards Mound
