THE AMERICAN FLAG.
When Freedom, from her mountain height,
Unfurled her standard to the air,
w She tore the asure robe of night,
And set the stars of glory there!
She mingled with its gorgeous dyes
The milky baldric of the skies,
And striped its pare, celestial white
With streakings of the morning light,
Then,from his mansion in thesun,
She called her eagle-bearer down,
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol of her chosen land !
Majestl oarch of the clod,
Who rear'st aloft thy regal form,
To hear the tempest trumpings loud,
And see the lightning laces driven,
When strive the warriorsof the storm,
And rolls the thunder-cloud of heaven,
Child of the SunI to thee't is given
To guard the banner of the free,
To hover in the sulphur smoke,
To ward away the battle-stroke,
And bid its blendings shine afar,
Like rainbows on the cloud of war,
The harbingers of victory!
Flag of the brave! thy folds shall fy,
The sign of hope and triumph high !
When speaks the signal trumpet tone,
And the long line comes gleaming on,
Ere yet the lire-blood warm and wet,
Has dimmed the glistening bayonet,
Each soldier's eye shall brightly turnm
To where thy sky-born glories burn,
And, as his springing steps advance,
Catch war and vengeance from the glance
And when the cannon-monthings load
Heave in wild wreaths the battle shroud,
And gory sabres rise and fall
Like shoots of flame on midnight's pall,
Then shall thy meteor glances glow
And cowering foes shall shrink beneath
Each gallant arm that strikes below
That lovely messenger of death.
Flag of the seas, on ocean wave
Thy stars shall glitter oe'r the brave ;
When death, careering on the gale,
Sweepe darkly round the bellied sail,
And frighted waves rush wildly back
Before the broadside's reeling rack,
Each dying wanderer of the sea
Shall look at once to heaven and thee,
And smile to:see thy splendors fly
In triumph oe'r his closing eye.
Flag of the free heart's hope and home,
By angel hands to valor given,
Thy stare have lit the welkin dome,
And all thy hues were born in heaven.
Forever float that standard sheet I
Where breathes the foe but falls before us,
With Freedom's soil benenth our feet, a
And Freedom's banner streaming o'er us!
-Joseph Rodman Dre. b
A MODEL BERMON. a
It should be brief; if lengthy it will steep
Our hearts in apathy, our eyes in sleep, C:
The dull will yawn, the chapel-loungerdoze, I
Attention flag, and memoyr's portals close. jc
It should be warm, a living altar coal.
To melt the icy heart and charm the soul ;
A sapless, dull harangue, however read,
Will never rouse the soul or raise the dead.
It should be simple, practical and clear, Cl
No fne-spun theory, to please the ear; A
And leave the poor ano plain uneuiled.
It should be manly, just and rational, d
Wisely conceived and well expressed withal; 0;
Not stuffed with silly notions, apt to stain
A sacred desk, and show a muddy brain, P
It should be mixed with many an ardent prayer
To reach the heart, and fx and fasten there; t
When God and man are mutually addreas'd 'I
God grants a blessing, man is trulybless'd.

Dr. Schmidt, of the Athens, Greece,
Observatory, has recently completed a map
of the moon, upon which he has been as
siduously laboring for the last 84 years.
"It contains 34 craters and hills, besides
850 rills and other objects." It is hardly
necessary to say that if Dr. Schmidt had
received the assistance from The Man in
the Moon that he ought to have had, the
map would have been completed many
years ago.-Courier-Joornal.
Legal opinions furnished by Charles
O'Conor, Abraham Browning, Cortland T.
Parker, John C. Prettitt, Richard L. Ash.
urst, Henry Wharton, William Henry
Rawle, Richard C. McMertrie, and William
H. Hurst are said to be unanimous in sus
taining the Centennial Board of Finance
in refusing to pay salaries to the president
and other officers of the U. S. Centennial
Commission, and in asserting the right of
the Board to appoint the needed police.
"'here has be.en as dl et benween thetwo

The Black Hills Tribune is published in
Crook City, and made its appearance on 1
June 9th. Messrs. X. S. Burke & Co. are
editors and publishers. Crook City is a
new town, having been located May 9th,
but its population is already numbered by
hundreds. It is the outfitting point for
the parties of miners located on Whitewood
and Deadwood, being situated at the point
where the Whitewood leaves the hills, and
the Tribune claims everything for it. The
paper is "rather small for its size," being
a sixteen column folio, but makes up in
ability what it otherwise lacks. Among
its advertisements is one of "Webster's
Dictionary," which speaks "volumes for
the citizens of Crook. c
The Challenger has returned to Ports- t
mouth after a voyage of three years and 1
six months, with a very complete and val- a
nable collection of specimens brought up
by dredging. Some of these were brought
up from a depth of 2,450 fathoms off the
coast of Ascension, and others from the
still greater depth of 4,750 fathoms, or
about five and one-half miles, in the Pacific
during the run from Japan to the Society
Islands. Among the other curiosities are
sea-elepants from the Straits of Magellan, 14
a gigantic turtle from the Society Islands,
a collection of rare birds from Kerguelen
Land, a great number of exotics that have a
been transferred to the Botanical Gardens "
at Kew, and an infinite quantity of relics
and oddities of savage or Oriental manu- n
facture. But one life was lost during the
cruise, which extended over 68,000 miles. a
The soundings taken will prove very serv- 51
ioable to the cause of ocean telegraphy.
,
The Drift of Journalism.
The popular exaction of a higher and "
completer journalism renders inevitable a'
fewerjournals. Only the very great cities, «
tion and advertising, can indulge in many
different papers. All third and fourth-rate n
cities, at least, if they would have good d
papers, must be content with few. g1
And, being good, the fewer the better, for 11
the sake of economy and excellence alike.
The Utica Obswrver makes a remark is va
point by the way of prophecy : "Twenty o'
years hence, there will be fewer newspa- ci
pers in the state than there are to-day. The ca
doctrine of the ' survival of the fittest' will
be applied, and those that will withstand g
the test will show constant and marked a
signs of improvement. The few will take b
the place of the many, and there will be no d
organs." "No organs," of individuals or b
partles--not no organs of communities or
opinions. It is essential, however, to this
growth in the character and decrease in the h
numbers of journals that there should be
higher and broader aips in the manage
ment of the papers; entire freedom from
personal ambition outside of the business;
a recognition both of the rights and opin
ions of the local communitle and yet, at
the same time, a full appreciation and en
forcement of their duties and reaponsibili
ties to the state and the nation of which
they sre apart. To "the survival of the
ittest" in journalism as in life, it is essen
tfal, first, that there should be a "fittest."
Next to that, as an element in the growth
toward the better if not the completer era
in journalism as in life, is a public recogni
tion of the desirability of a few good papers
rather than many poor ones, and a prompt
gravitation toward the best in ubseriptions
and advertlnga-p-Braln gl ..apbnlican.

The prompt action of the instrument, de

1,050 shots in one minute, through a thick
oak barricade, proves that it is one of the
most terrible death-dealing inventions ever
known. The .machinery is simpe easily

MtUUTIES OF THE COUNTRY.
~I5'EEN 'TK'ItrOU I
APOTH E. CARY.
Oh! a country life is a glorlous life,
With us hoeing, mowing bustle;
Where the farmer sweat as for all he gets
And life depends on muscle.
Among the many things we love (for our
lovinr nature takes in most anything from
a licorice drop to a dynasty) is the country.
There is music in the lowing of the bee,
the whimpes ing of the cows, the gentle
bellow of the egg-manufacturing fowls,and
the noisy songs of the variegated butter
files
There is beauty in that majestic tree of
the forest which, year after year, carries on
tbefoliage business in all its branches.
sre is grandeur in the hills, greenness
valleys, and geese by the roadside.
re. isomething in the quiet beauty of
respects and rustic scenes that finds
into o heart. ý .an toneh door
s qpacious old ark, and, like Noah of
old, bids the occupants go out to browse.
Fascinated with the inexhaustible delights
of Nature'sbroad conservatory, we can lay
down our earnet satchel of care, and, for a
time, forget the dunning letters, grocery
bills, protested notes, and all the similar
rubbish that mark the path our trusting
feet have trod.
We love to have the light-blowing, oxy
genated zephyrs step up and kiss our mid
dle-aged countenance; or, if it happens to
be a backward season for those kind of
zephyrs, we like to have the kissing done
by the azure-eyed, rosy cheeked, auburn
haired zephyrs that blow around the farm
house, and weigh upwards of a hundred
and twenty pounds avoirdupois.
The man who, amid the wide extending
beauties of rural surroundings, cannot
loosen the corset-string of his mind and
give it the unlaced privilege of expanding,
is not a child of Nature; he is an evoluted
development and back'in the Devonian age
his ancestors were all fossilized clams.
As one walks through the luxuriant
meadows climbs over the brow and sits on
the forehead of the hills, or treads the ver
duous pasture-lands, there is something el
evating, something that hfts him up; it
may perchance be the animated landscape
with its varied loveliness, but it is more
likely to be the belligerent bull or the
bellicose guat that butt the just as well as
the unjust
But the real objects of interest in rural
landscapes are the Grangers. An overall
race of benevolent philanthropists, brow
sweating to provide mankind with the
comforts and luxuries of life. A race that
tread the flowery meads in cowhide boots,
eat onions, and vote the Republican ticket.
They spend their summers in getting some
thing to eat and their winters in eating it;
the pleasure of one and the profit of the
other makes the life of the Granger desira
ble. We have seen Grangers whose lives
were desirable, but the fear of capital
punishment kept us from taking them.
With one exception, tilling of the soil is
the sweetest employment in which the sons
t men can engage ; that exception is the
B h1ialiag. bu siness, which is consid
rat get his lot. Then he should set about
4e acquirement of a good botanical educa
Ion and devote a large share of. his time
o the classification of plants, and the ex
tmination of those
Soft. sweet, petaled flowers,
That bloom In Nature's bowers,.
And ill this world of onre
with hanging baskets, bridal wreaths, and
bonnet trimmings. Every farmer should
aultivate a taste for flowers and, whether
in the barnyard or sitting-room, in the
cornfield or pig-pen, always wear upon his
bosom a button-hole boquet.
Farmers should also be zoologists, and
give a few hours of each passing day to the
areful study of the growth, instinct, and
Susefulness of the animal kingdom. No
farmer should think of dying without pre
viously writing at least one book on Natu
ra History, beautifully embellished with a
teel engraving of the author.
A thorough knowledge of surgery should
also be invoiced with the farmer's assets.
The trees, with their limbs constantly ex
posed to fractures; the hens that require
frequent setting; the hogs whose shoulders
need so much curing, and the liability of the
ranger himself to get corn in the ear, all
seem to demand the attention of a practi
cI surgeon.
Thus the farmer can, with the book of
nature spread out before him, and one or
two hired men to turn the leaves, make
rapid strides in the sciences, and let his
moral nature go on toward perfection. But
laa I how often do we find that, with all
his ealutary and wholesome surroundings,
the farmer lsovetous,panurlous,and fault
icnding. Some are even sanken so far in
the valleys of degredation that they chew
tobaco, ran for ofio, and raise ease.

EXPEDITION ON Goosa CREEK, W. T.,
June 15.
via Fort Fetterman, June 20, 1876.
Yesterday evening 180 Crows, Nez Per
ces, Snakes and Pigeons reached this camp
under the guidance of Frank Guard, Bap
tiste Pourriere and Louis Richardson, who
left the encampmentof the expedition to go
to their village on June 2.
The principal chiefs with the bands here
are Old Crow, Medicine Crow, Good Heart
and White Forehead. They have with
them the best warriors of their tribes.
Later in the evening eighty-six Snakes,
who crossed the mountains from Camp
Brown, arrived.
All the Indians are camped with the sol
diers. Thy fagilay. l-Dd4-rre eager for
Sloux scalps and plunder.
Gcedesay that small parties of Crown
saw General Gibbons' camp on the north
side of the Yellowstone River, near the
mouth of Tongue River. It was only a
short distance from a large village of Sioux
warriors, which was supposed to contain
all the lodges on the warpath, under com
mand of Crazy Horseand Sitting Bull.
In attempting to cross the river with his
cavalry Gen Gibbons lost a large number of
horses. The Sioux also captured the po
nies of his Indian scouts.
This morning Gen. Crook sent forward
five Crows to discover the present position
and movements of the hostile band of
Sioux.
The fighting column, comprising with
the Indian auxiliaries, 1,300 men, will com
mence to-morrow morning a rapid march
toward the Sioux encampment.
One hundred and eighty infantry men
and the wagon train will be left here under
a guard of teamsters and packers.
General Crook expects to find on the Yel
lowstone a steamboat loaded with supplies
provided by General Terry. Only rations
for four days' subsistence will be taken
with them.
CHEYENNE, Wy. T., June 20.-The Crow
and Snake allies have joined Gen. Crook on
Goose Ureek, and the command marched on
the 15th inst., expecting to strike the hoe
tile Siouxs under Sitting Bull and Crazy
Horse inside of four days. The Crows re
port having seen a large Sioux village on
Tongue River.
Crook Meets the Sioux and Gets the
Worst of It.
CHEYENAE, June 23.-Crook's command
left camp on the morning of the 16th inst.,
with four day's rations, and struck across
to the Rosebud, a branch of the Yellow
stone, in Montana. Following down this
creek the next morning, about five miles
down, the Snake and Crow scouts brought
word from the front that the Sioux were in
force in the hills and by 8:80 o'clock the
command was in position and an extensve
fire was inaugurated among the bluffs to
the north of the creek. The enemy, who
began the attack and showing thereby their
confidence in their ability to whip the com
well armed, and swarmed in numbers at
times. They were prodigal in the use of
ammunition. The fight lasted four hours
when the enemy retired out of sight at
every point. The killed and wounded are
follows :
In Third Cavalry, Company F.--Ser
geant Marshall and Private Roe, were
killed.
Company I.-Privates Alien and Flynn,
killed; Sergeant Enoch, Corporal Cart*,
Privates Smith, Stewart, O'Brien and Los

the latter are all likely to recover.
One Snake scout was killed,three wound
ed, and four Crows wounded.
The dead bodies of thirteen Sioux were
found on the field, and it is certain a nam
ber more were killed, with the nausual pro
portion wounded.
Several Sioux ponies were killed and43eu

fight ocnured fifty miles from the wagon
and pack trains, and owing to the want of
rations and that the wounded might be
cared for, it was necessary to return thith.

French statistics show that woman is six
times less criminal against person, four

twice less hardened a criminal than man.
The record (recently published) also proves
that maternity is a better shield against
bad life than paternity. Of 1,000 female
criminals 261 are mothers, and of 1,000
male criminals 824 are fathers.
The Mammoth Tunnel.
There is a little bit of comfort, amidst
the interminable batches of warlike news
from Europe, in reading a dispatch speak- o
ing of a peaceful and civilizing work.
Preliminary work on the Channel tunnel,
to connect England and France, commenced,
at once upon the formation of the tempo
rary Experimental Company, we mentioned
some time ago. That work was begun at
Langatte, and shafts have been sunk to a
longitudinal gallery 3,270 feet long will be
made in the chalk, and it this is muccessful,
and if nothing indicates impracticability of
the project, the tunnel will be definitely
commenced. It is,of course, impossible
to definitely pronounce upon the practica
bility of the scheme of Mr. Tome De Gamon
the French engineer, whose plans are
about to be executed; but it can be sa
that they have been' pronounced scien
tifically good, and it is a pitythat the
recent death of their author should deprive
him of the honor and profits which the
probable success of his plans would have
conferred upon him. When. the tunnel
shall have been out the horrors of the
"Middle Passage," as it is called, between
France and England will m avoided by the
three hundred thousand plassgers now
yearly passing between the two countries
and whose number will be co.sidasably
enlarged when travelling'will be done all
through by rail. Now the honors of the
"Middle Pssage " are ihevitable, on
account of the ontinually agitated condi
tion of the hannel's waves sad at the
small steamers in use, owing to the French
harbors only admitting these long, narrow,
and small vessels.
