'"1 ho Grand Army of the Republic ha
met with many vicissitudes since its organi
zation. It would seem u.itural, alter the
close of tho war, that men who lud enlisted
togetucr, who had marched together, who
i i . . i . .i i ... . ,
ijuu cncauipco. lojicincr. w no loiiiriit toel ti-1
cr, and who ut last came out together to see
the flag gloriouslj triumphant, should seek
to become united iu one glorious .r'r mizv
tion. They had many reasuis d !e t.nited.
Iikc many of my comrades L entered the sir
my a boy being only nineteen years of nre,
and came out a grown man. Many of my com
rades bleep around Fort Done 'sou, There
we taught the rebels that one Suu'.herti n a'i
with a cornstalk sould uot whip five Yan
kees. They arc lying along the Tennessee
liver. They nre lying on tho bloody fields
of Shiloh. Following (J rant in his campaign
nlttig the banks o!" .Ston river, they also
lie there. Wc sdtould revere their memory.
And now since the war has closed, it was
well that wo should gather together and
form an organization. We came together,
however, in uo rpnnrtisan spirit. When
this Grand Army ol the Republic was or
gauized wc did not say that the oiliecr.'
alone should cnnie in. It. became a level
institution. Xo nia'ti r whether n man w.v
a private or a jir U.'Lenl. Wc did ooi
osk whether that man entered toe army i
Democrat or Republican. Wc did not asl
at what utcr he kneels. Wc applied onbj
one test, end that is that he went into tin
army with a brave ni''tic. -We did no!
ask to what nationality he belonged. We
care not w hether he is a ou of Jacob oi
the duwii-trodded sou of Hiru. Wc grjsj
his hand and call himfiii-nd. Applause.
We have no liisiinetion of color ; wc have
. it. v ... . .
no national naircu in tins g:a;iu orgrmza.
tun, The ciily lest is loyalty. Vn
plausc It is vrvv strange t! at utter th
war closed we liad r.ot mote meuibeis in
our ranks. Our olje-nt in funning the Grand
Army of the Republic was lifit to place am
members of 'hat army in a political position
Rut, if we. see a numied soldier, ii wc so
a starving orphen, it wc see a widow sfrug
Hug to uiaiutuiu herself and family, we wil
lend a helping hand. This is our grand
mission. We arc gathered together in one
glorious brotherhood, not only to perpetu
ate the memories of the past, but to do no.
blc deeds iu the future. Our organization
is not a political one. Wc have nothing to
do with political organisations. No matter
to what party a mau may belong ho can
become a member of this organization. In
the first place "our object is to become good
law-abiding citizens, and id the next to be
ready, should treason again raise its head
to again enter the army. Wo arc now en-
teiing npon a grand mission. Let no mem
bcr be faithless to his duty. Lend a help
kg baud to all who may ask for aid. Show
the people that you have a worthy object in
covuiug together, and in being members of
fneh a glorious organization. About SI'),
000 citizcus of this State left their homes
to battle for their country. About 270,000
men were permitted to return to their
homes, leaving 74,000 who perished upon
the battlc-fiold. Let us gather together
as many of the liviug as wo can, so that we
may do a still greater work.
I will aid you all I can, and hope that the
Grand Army of the Republic will stand as
the old army of Pennsylvania did in days
gone by.
A MOST DETEltMlAED &L1CILE
Chicago. Jan. 27. Mrs. Harold of
Devilda, Jo Davis County, Illiuois, recently
became insane on religious matters, and ou
Tuesday morning, iu the ubseDce of her
husband, she obtained a razor and attempt
ed to cut her throat, when her daughter
6natcbed it from her aud rau toward an
outhouse to hidoit. The mother overtook
her daughter, and after a struggle regained
the razor, and was about to draw it across
her throat the second time, when another
daughter. 15 vears old, placed her haud
there, and received a teuiblo gash, 'ihe
mother then succeeded in cutting her throat
tsffectually and died tdu.Oet instantly
A L OA U WALK.
In 1732, Thomas 1' enn contracted with
T!edyuscuing and some others for a title to
all the land in Pennsylvania, to bo taken
off by a parallel of latitude from any point
as far as the Lest of three men could walk
in a day, between sunrise and sunset, from
a certain chestnut tree, at or near Rristol,
iu a nnriwest direction. Care was taken (o
select the must capable for such u walk
The choice fell on James Yates, a native (J
Rucks county, n t:ill slim man, of much
agility nnd speed of foot; Solomou Jen
dings, a 3 nn Ue o, very stout uud strong;
Rdward Marshall, a native of Rucks coun
ty, a noted hunter, chaiuearrier, &e., u
large luavy-set, and strong-boned mau.
'J he day was i.ppointcd and the chain
piuns notifi -d. The people collected ut
wiiat they thought the first twenty miles ol
the Duiham road, to sec them pass. First
came Vntcs, stepping as light us a feather
accompanied by T. lYnu and attendants on
horseback. Aft.r hint, but out of sight,
ramc Jennings with a Mronir, steady step ;
and not lar behind, Kdward Marshall, aj-
parcutly careless, swing'i'g a hatchet in hi
htnd, ui.d eating a dry biscut. Rets ran in
favor of Yates. Marshall took biscuits to
support his stomach, and cariied a hatchet
to swing iu his hands alternately, that tin'
action in bis aims should buhinee that in
his legs, us hs was filly determined to beat
theotheis, or die in the attempt. lie said
he first saw Yatis in decetiding Durham
Creek, aud gained on hi.n. There lie saw
Yutes sitting on a log, very tired : presently
he fell off uud gave up (lie Walk . Marshall
kept on, aud belorc he reached the Lehigh.
overtook and pas.-ed Jennings waded the
iver'at Rethhhcm hurried on faster b
where Nazareth stands, (o (he Wind Gap.
That was as fat us the path had been
masked for lactn te walk on, aud there was
collection of peupU; waiting to see if any
ol'thc three would reach it by sunset. He
only halted for the surveyor to give him u
poekrt compass, and slated again. Three
Liidiui runners were scut ufter him to see
f he walked it fair, and how far lie wcut.
lie then passed to the right of the Focono
Mountain, the Indians finding it difficult
to keep him in s lit, till he leaelieu fctiil
Water and he would have gone a few miles
fuither bui for tho water. Here he mark
ed a tree witnessed by the three Indians
I he distance he walked between sun and.
sun not being on a straight line, nnd aboil'
hirtN inili s of ii throuh woods, was estit;;a
ted to be from Oec bundled and ten to one
hundred and twenty miles, lie thus woi
the great jiize. which was five hundred

of-h'iid anywhere in the purchase.
J.amcs lutes, who leu fie way tor tlie urst
thirty mi'es ormoie, was quite blind when
taken out f Durham Creek, and lived
but thiee davs aficrwaid-i. Solomon Jen
nines survived but for a few years. Ed
ward Marshall lived and died on Marshall's
Island in the Delaware River. IJearrwid
at about ninety ycais ot ne. lie was a
great hunter, and it is raid he discovered a
rich silver mine, which rendered hi in ai.d
his family connexions affluent ; but he nev
cr disclosed where it was, ond it continues
unknown to this dav. Sn1. Erf. us'.

J ITTMiURCi, Jan. eil). Mrs. Eliza Ad
uins, wife of David M. Adams, was burned
to death at her residence in Virginia alley.
Whether her death was the result ef acci
dent or violence is as yet undetermined.
Her husband was urrcsted on suspicion, be
ing found in tho burning room. Ho sta
ted this morning that his wifo aud himself
had both been drinking early last evening,
nnd (hat he had gone to bed and fallen
asleep, leaving his wile sitting in front of
the fire, lie was aroused by the stifling
smoke, and saw his Wife's clothes and the
chair in a blaze. He sprang tip and died
to wrap carpel about her. lie did not know
whether she was dead or not. Just then
Adams says he was put in custody nnd taken
lo the watch house, lie says his conviction
is that his wife did it herself to put. an end
to her life. To him she had several times
said she was going to kill hcisclf. Fur the
past filleen years she has hern drinking
nunc or less. He had been married to her
about ten years. Adams is al out fifty years
of age and a n an of sonic property.
Cnclk's NtiiiiKU. An incident told by
a Toledo paper forcibly illustrates thesueial
changes which have inaiked the history ol
our country during the past ten years. A
poor ragged family on their w.iy (o Chi
cpgo wee detained ut Toledo and uranteil
permisssun lo spend (ho ti'ght ut the Sta
tion louse. In the morning, as t hoy were
leaviug their wretched lodgings a prosj or
ous colored citizen by the m ine of Davis
happened to call at the Station-IIuuse,
when he met the company of begjing trav.
ers. He was in their presents but a mo
ment when too wizeu countenance el tne
mother begun to light up will, an air f .-ud-
lcn discovery, and, infer a moment of pen
etrating seutiny, she exclaimed : ' Oh h r
mo, uncle, you's my old ti..c'.e's nigger !"
Davis was thunderstruck by this exehiiua
tiou, and, with that courtesy which ch.irac
tcrizes a Sous hern negro iu the. pr sense ol
I. is master, made his obedience lo the wo
man and asked her to explain. Iho wo
mau then tuld him the name of her ijncle.
