The music by the Ringwood Band, Smith's Martial Band and the singing by the Choir was grand, and added much to the enjoyment of the occasion. THE FORESTER'S PICNIC, On the east side of the river, was an­ other part of our celebration, and was under the direction of the orcfer of For­ esters. Their program was an excellent one and was carried out to the entire satisfaction of the large crowd there assembled. It was estimated that there were from 1,800 to 2,500 on the grounds, and the crowd was con­ tinually coming and going all the time. At ten o'clock they formed a procession at the Depot, headed by Miller's Elgin Band, and marched to the Grove. The procession was composed of nearly two hundred teams, besides large delegations on foot and 011 horseback, and presented a very imposing appearance. At the stand the exemses were inter­ spersed with music by the Maennerchoir of twenty-five voices, and Speeches by Hon. Richard Bishop, of this village and Prof. Lauth, of Chicago. The Speech of Hon. R. Bishop was an able, patriotic effort and was listened to with marked attention, and liighly pra,ised by all who listened to it. Prof. - Ijaath spoke in German, a«4 his remarks %re very highly spoken of tiy ouf 6erman friends.

It was impossible to batter down oak­ en doors with naked fists, and the time already lost was fatal to our plans." Up to one o'clock of the morning of the in­ surrection there were probabiy not two dozen men who were fully informed of the plan of Hanchette and his co-partners Another score of men had learned through these that an "indefinite some­ thing' intended to release the prisoners, was in an embryotic state. Until this time, had the injunction of the leaders been faithfully regarded, the feat would have been known to those only who should become fully committed to its prosecution. One member of the band ia« stated that a solemn oath was re­ quired of him at the timeof his admission to their companionship. Without ques tioniug this statement, I must express the belief that this was not universal nor even usual. In the majority of cases the Daring- Act of a Firsiun, The Chicago Herald, of Saturday last, has the following: "A heroic act was the saving of a life and the stopping of a runaway horse yesterday afternoon by Truckman James Chisholm, of hook and ladder truck No. 7. A big bay horse, driven by Armour Lafond, a wealthy man and proprietor of the Cottage Furn­ iture Company, of 499 West Madison street, dashed past the truck house at Lincoln street, near Indiana. The lines had broken, Lafond was powerless and, yelling for help. The big bay was run­ ning at full Bpeed toward a house, colli­ sion with which would doubtless have resulted in Lafond's death. The brave fireman ran out, caught the horse by -the bit, was taken off his feet and dragged ^ialf a block, when he regained his foot­ ing, grabbed the horse's nose with both The Massachusetts comrades 'propose to have the old Grand Army ritual restored.

Going. Now here's an idea. Carbonic acid gas is suggested as a good thing to execute criminals with. Happy thought. Car- bonicution might be made a very pleas­ ant little experiment in this way: Let the sheriff lead the doomed man into a small and air-tight cell in which a soda fountain has been placed. The sheriff might break the ice by saying "wottly ave?" to which the victim would proba­ bly say "moxie." After setting 'em up the sheriff could retire and leave the* fizz turned on and the prisoner tied down. In a few minutes the room would be full of gas and the condemned, asleep forever.

R^Col. Graves first met his wife upon a I"Southern battlefield. She is the daugh­ ter of General Tatman, and she was the wife of another man the day she first saw Col. Graves. Their meeting was both sad and romantic. Her husband had been fatally shot, and while she stood by his side in auguish, waiting for the last heart-throb she knew must come very soon, Col. Graves was brought in. He was insensible from a fearful wound in the left breast. Thus Col. Graves and the lady who is now his wife became ac­ quainted und^r circumstances most ter­ rible, but later on the friendship ripened into love. Mrs. Graves is her husband's senior by fifteen years, gee »-an estima­ ble lady, and is highly esteemed in Zenith City society and eharitftbte.ciHies* only pre-requisite was a positive knowl- edge by some one that the intended new member was a person of unquestionable bravery, intelligence, and discretion, and that no person could be introduced with­ out the consent of the leader, who deter­ mined to limit the membership up to the night of the assault to the minimum mi in ber necessary to carry out his plan. Several of those who were participants in the capture of the guards were entirely unacquainted with the existence of any plot until only a few hours before it was carried into execution. Neither Han­ chette nor his aides fully comprehended the hopelessness of turther effort when they failed to secure the relief guard. So many hours and days ot intense, absorb­ ing thought auu planning had been de­ voted to the purpose ; seemingly, so care­ fully had all the minutite been considered, so fully had the leaders convinced them­ selves of ultimate success, so easily had the guards within the brick walls been overpowered, they seemed persuaded that only an interruption and not a defeat had been encountered. Theirconvictions aud previous success had given their hopes ,a momentum not arrested by the grave misfortune that prevented their exit from the prison.

Seeing their forces melted away, they called again and again upon their fellow-prisoners, the most of whom until a few minutes ago had been sleep­ ing, to join with them in another effort to break out from the prison. Previous to the incoming of the guard there had been little more of noise and confusion than ordinarily obtained in that densely crowded prison, that human ant-hill. Even the cries uttered by the struggling sentries as they desperately strove to throw off their assailants caused but little excitement amoug those captives not informed of the plot, and awakened but little suspicion in the minds of those guards about the prison who were not 'istmjbed. If in the assault strange oises had been uttered, the occurrence was too common to arouse curiosity among the prisoners or anxiety in the mind of the sentinels. The senses of the men here crowded together had been obtunded by cold and beuumbed by physical wants, and the sentry had long since ceased to wonder at occurrences most strange to him as a novice. About him are thousands of men--men packed more densely than cattle in pens. Strange noises have often been heard issuing from the-lips of men delirious with disease, or coming from the throats of men strug­ gling with thugs and assassins; these guards have not been placed about the prison to prevent robbery, to protect the weak and defenceless. Their only office is to see that no man escapes from that wretched place and the nightmare that is present through day and darkness. But a new cry awakens the captive, alarms the captor. Failing in his first attempt, their followers retiring, from a hopeless cause, the leaders step back from the strong-barred gate, and shout, "Fall in, men, fall in." What magic in the words! Men dreaming of battle and the scenes in their soldier life, where the sharp words portend much, instinctively spring from their inhospitable beds. A confused mur­ mur growing louder, spreads over the prison, and in a few moments all are awakened. The guards outside this place of confinement and restraint listen to the ominous words, to the subdued tones momentarily increasing, and in alarm run from their posts of duty. All over the prison men were rousing and asking of the nearest companion the reason of the subdued excitement. We could hear the excited shouts of the Con­ federates without, and the "long roll' sounding the alarm added to the dread confusion. Up to this point the men who had been most noticeable by their vehement words of exhortation and command were the lieutenants of Hanchette, the men who were fully informed of, and the leaders in, the insurrection. Now to the increasing turmoil another class of men added their cries. Awakened from their sleep, wholly unaware of the bold conspiracy that had originated in their midstj hearing the beating drums and the shouts of prepara­ tion without, recognizing as a leading spirit of the uprising, Owens, the man who had so long worn the clanking chains. That men in such a place and with sticii gloomy prospects should think of plans by which they might regain their liberty would be but natural. In some- resolu­ tions of the most desperate character were awakened. Among those of the latter class was a sergeant of an Ohio regiment named Owenn, who had, before entering the army, resided at Sandusky. Owens, some time in the fall of 1804, had arrested the attention of the prison officials, and for some attempted escape had been taken out from the prison to the shop of the village blacksmith, and on his legs heavy iron shackles were riv­ eted.
