CmanwEs, July 1.—The Free-Methodist camp-meeting beld 2 miles west of this city broke up last, Thursday night, after a very suc- cessful session of one week. The largest at- tendance occurred on Sundey last, there being from §000 to 10,000 people, and about 1,200 teams on the grounds. These, with some sixty tents, constituted a scene at once lively and pic- | turesque. The large audience was addressed by several promineut gentlemen, Lailing from Gifferent parts of the State. The ad- dresses . were appropriate to the oceasion, although we thiuk the remarks of the Rev. Mr. Cox were rather severe on the Rev. Mr Cox, who related his experienee in the line of adrunkard. He referred to the time when lie Dreached in a small town in Canada, how he be- ¢ and low-spirited, and in order to he resurted to Lhe use of tobac- o, but his spiriis did not raise; then he com- menced to use Whisk: a lever whereby to Taise his spirits, but this combinution of tobacco whisky was of no Conscquently his -d about at Zero, pirits (pot the whisky) rem: until his health was greatly impaired and his family disgraced. But suddenly and mysteri- ousiy he beeame cured of the folly of this mode of rising his spirits, and_as suddenly feriusly abendoned the clerical prof becam @ reporter on a *large daily paper in Chicago.” The Rev. Cox stated fhat s a reporter ‘he was_throvn into all kinds of and that he found his spirits down _ogain, and be became going v ; n B P ukard for the second time, and was again | aved in some mysterivus. manner. The Rever- end gentleman did not anaolves whether ornot e would run for a third term. However, he ad- viced his hearers never Lo beeome newspaper re- Porters, as such a profession was sure to make ihem drunkards. Let the entire corps of re- purters of Tup TRIBUNE think of the Rev. fteporter Cox and his spirits (*sour mash™). CONGREGATIONAL CHURCIL There appears to be considerable discord in the Congregational Church of this_city, owing 1o the alleged management of its affairs. Muen surprise was manifested by the congresation on Jact Sabbath when the pastor, the Kev. E. N ‘Andrews, Tead his resignation. The Reverend entlemsw's reasons for this slep were doubtless satisfactory to himself, but they were by no means satisfactory to his surprised congregation.

B e TIE ENTRE NOUS CLUB met at the residexve of Ml William Warren and had one of the most delightful meetings sinee its organization. The President spoke feclingly of the delight he felt in welcoming back the old members who had been wandering ! iu distant lands; after which the Club paper was read and received with applause. A boun- tiful supper was then served and music and dancing filled up the rest of the time very agreeably. . THE ACADEMY. s As in all University towns the past two weeks have beén almost wholly given up to Commencement excreises. Tne TRis- uNE had a very full account of the Ferry Hall Semivary exercises, but those of the Academy were cven more interesting, although it is very ungallunt to say so. The ex- aminations Monday were very thorough and satisfactory, u=nd must have gratitied the apx- i fous parents from Chicago and elsewhere, and showed that both boys and teachers had beea working hard during the past year. Tuesday the school-room was very tastefully decorated with flowers and evergreens, not forgetting the inevitable Star Spangled Banner and the Cen- u‘xml.:xl mottoes. Theorations anddeclamations were'all good, and while all showed that great care and attention had been Destowed upon them, oue cannot resist mentioning a few thhat seemed to be really superior. The rirst oration, American Progress with Salutstory,” Dy Mr. Charles J. Freneh, of Evanston, was well composed, and_very gracefully delivered. “Uncle Sam's_a Hundred,” u xecitation by Master Walter Farwell, was recel with e thusiastic epplause, which showed that it w: well done, aud also that there was o _great deal of patriotie pride in the audience. The recita- tions by Charles S. Wells and Robert Taylor, of ZLake Forest, and those of Fred W. Richardson and Henry W. King, of Chicago, were well de- Jivered and received hearty upplause. The oru- tion, * A Plea for Culture,” with the Valedi tory Address by Lausing Warren, was of the best cver heard. Oue would think that with a1l that hus been said from the time of the ancient Greek philosophers down to the present time about *Culture,” that therc would be nothing new ororigival to uffer. B War- ren proved the contrary, to the de isfaction of the audience. Capt. Sabin, the Principal of the beginning, calied especi the Academy, in attention to the Jausieal part of the programme, and it well de- sorved Cit. Miss Warne, the efficient | teucher of the plano, must have felt { very proud of her pupils und they of her. None ] of them have been taking lessouslougerthan I two years, and their proficiency is wonderiul. Al were good, but the duet by 3Ir. C. d. French and W. I Harvey, the Adagio from Beethoven’s Sonata . Pat ue Alfred Uolt, the #\Wedding Mard) Bissell Lamb, and the Nocturne from Mendelssohn’s *Midsumner Night's Dream » by W. P. Harvey, were render- edwith perfect accaracy and thytiim. A duet by Miss Jeunie Durand and Master Stewart Sabin jas well received, to the great delight of the smail perforiners. At the cluse of the regular exercises Capt. _Sabin pointed With pride to the University Seal which ornamented one side of e school- room aud told the boys they had now somet! tolook up to. Aud as a Professor of the versity ws present, e would like im to stej forward and let the boys look up to him. g Prof. Bewitt then came forward, and gavea Drict history of the University, and of the flat- tering prospects for its openiis this Tall with fine cinss of freshmen. ‘The Rev.

The changes in the pastorship of this church have Teen quite frequent duringlate years, A prom- juent citizen was heard to_ say that “The man- arement ol the Congregational Clurch of St Charles was about 3 bad as the sidewalks of our streets.” Clearly, then, there is room for great improvement.

OAX PARK. FLOWER SERVICE. ‘The annual floral concert of the Sabbath- sthool of the Congregetional Church was ob- served Jost Sunday morning. The sacred edi- fite was crowded with the members of the de- Nomination, aud the little ones took part in the exercises. The pulpit was beautifully decorated with cut flowers, wreaths, and festoons of ever- greens and house-plants.

A CRYSTAL'WEDDING. ~ Special Correspondence of The Tribine. GENEVA, June 30.—The quict town of Geneva is rejoicing over a wedding, which grand event occurred ou Mondey evening last. The con- tracting partics were mot, in this instance of the juvenile type, but appear to be ad! towards the prime of Life; and the presents, although rare and beautiful, were not such as are usually displayed to the wdmiring eyes of the mumerous guests.

G. ENGLEWOOD. TIE HIGH SCHOOL. The annual exercises of the Englewood High School have been more than usually interesting this year, and have made the past week one worthy of more thau a passing notice.

The cost was $7,500, and the congregation and their numerous friends deserve much credit for their liberality in contributing so gcm.'ml:s]{ towards its cree- The dedication was looked forward to tion. with great anticipations, ample preparation be- ing nrade thesefor. - Larze delegations from sis- ter churches throughout the country were pres- ent, Desplaines, Elik Grove, Arlington Heights, Niles, S Tt in the exercise ¢d, and, with flags xud binners and the music of a Chieago Land, marched to the church, The assemblage having gathered in’ front of the building, the builder, Mr. Mean, 9t Evanston, haided the key to the pastor, who opencd the doors with the impressive ceremo- nies of the Luthern Church.

The Board of Trustees which was elected In April on an anti-beer Dasis, to continue that regime in the town, has backed dowa on the Ebeer question, and last Sunday turned Wright's Grove into a grand beer-garden for the benefit of the Morat commemorators, o payment of $25. The suspended saloon-men of the neigh- borhood, findiug the ordinance temporarily re- pealed {0r the benefit of outsiders, consistently concluded that if there was euy discrimination it should be in favor of residcnts, and, taking matters into their own hands, ignored the ordi- pance and kept their taps runmng all day open- 1y and above board. And now the Trustees are i an interesting situation for prosccuting vio- lators of that ordinance.

At last the cutting down of the Green Bay road, which has been in progress for four or five Jears, is completed, and jeople living along That 'route are beginning to take bearings an find out where they are, the most of them hav- ing gone up in the world by the operation. A glance along the line of unprovement reveals as many different levels as the ingenuity of man could crowd into a half-mile streteh, each prop- erty-owner having two ur three arades to one front. Now it would be vwell to have that con- ‘tinuons line of sidewalk which cvery one has been waiting for during the last decade. Mr. IL. G.

Not willing to be behindhand in the matter of patriotic celebration, the people of this suburb- an e have decided to celebrate the Centen- nial anniversary of ‘American Independance Ly having a picnic on the 4th of July. The Hon. J. T. Date, of Winnctka, hos been secured to deliver the oration. The - Declaration of Inde- pendence will be Tead by one of the belles of Wilmette. The married men and the bachelors are going to play u game of b s¢ ball, and, from the fact that noie of the players are sccustomed to that kind of exerdse, 4 muifing and amusing game is expected. Physiciausand surgeons from Wilmette and nity are invited to be present, as in all probability teir services will be needed. Stretchers have beer provided to carry off the dead and ‘wounded. and ample arrangewncuts have been made to ake the occasion an enjoy- able one. Croquet wnd other amusements have Leen provided for., lce-tream and lemonade stands will be on the grounds. In all probabili- &¥ a display of fireworis will be made in the cveniug.

Alctter to the New York Swun from Home Creek, Coleman County, Texas, June 12, sa; Fifty miles from Fort Worth our party fonud themselves on one of the most delightful stretches of prairic lanll . Western Texas. It was three days’ jourucy to the Twin Mountains, and, as we Lad plenty of time to join Col. Hol- land’s party o their return, we. concluded to accompany Capt. Hardy Parker, of the Lafitte ranche, sod threc of his friends, to what ae termed one of the liveliest weddings that ever “jostled the State o’ Texas.” “ Who's to be married?" was asked. “Qld Jaquétte’s - daughter. We call him «Don’ for short. We call her ‘Reenie;? and the chap that's goin’ to git her is old Uvalde’s son ¢Mig,” ‘the blood’ that saved her from a pack of Mexican hounds up the valley of the Rio Pecos about six months ago. News of this din’ has been going the rounds of the. frontier for some time, und it's calculated that the Twin Mountains will be shaken up before it’s over.” So we set off over the pampas, through heav- ily timbered districts, along small stréams, on ot way to the home of Jaquette’s 20,000 acres, located in the shadow of the besutiful hills above numed. At last we halted in front of the longz low building, the home of the Juquette fawily, a distant relative of the original Austin, who was the largest landholder in his time in Texas. Our horses were cared for, and we were intro- duced to the Don. He was 50 years of age; in looks he scemed but 35. Straight as an arrow, ¢old us an iceberg, black-eyed and black-lired, - 116300%ed o lord and mastus ovor—all--his peo- le. The wife was bent and gray, but must ave beautiful in her younger years. Ful- ly fifty young representative Texan drovers were m tents and in the outbuildings waiting for the morrow. . At 10 o’clock next day everything was pre- .pared. Wo were snown jnto 3 large room of the house that looked more like a forest than a parlor. We were told to take refreshuents lightly before tho wedding ceremony. We were then conducted to the park or garden, a mag- nificfnt grove of cedar, piue, some orange, and maple. 5 Guests from far and wide had arrived in wazons and on horseback. Backwoods maidens and stalwart cattledeepers, m staid and guy colors, suu-bouncts and buekskins, were cliat- ting #nd gossiping under the trecs, the same as church a1 in civilization. Everybody Scemed to lave clusters of flowers, and for & time those rough and sturdy men of the plains suffered their broad sombreros to be orna- mented with wreaths and their brows bound \\'itl;\! gay handkerchiefs by fair and gentle hands. The relatives of the bride were on one side of he garden. Her cousins were mounted on pure white horses. The relatives of the groom wer¢ on the opposite side, 2 noble-looking body of people. Even here was tobe seen the out- tropping of rude froutier society. Both fami- were immensely wealthy, and for a long time were jealous rivals. The union of the two children was to unite two of the largest landed estates in Western Texas, and terminate fur- ther rivalry between the two fwnilies. Both Touses, thereforc, kept a_respectful distance, and one vied with the otheria frontier dress and display. * Finally ¢ trumpet sounded and the eyes of the hundred peuple present were turued to- ward the mansion. A procession came from the front door, such as these frontiersmen liad, probably never seen in all_their lives. First came two Ininisters, the Revs. Thomas and Tienriques, who liad come 200 miles to perform the marrage ceremony. _Following came Don Jaquette; by Lis side walked his daughter, the bride; then came the mother of young Uvalde, and by her side walked the groom, and behind them "came the groom’s father and the bride’s mother. A few more ladies and gentlemnen fol- § Jowed. Ia the centre of the garden was a beau- tiful bower of evergreen, und heneath this the marriage ceremony was performed. T was permitted to bave o position well up in front. I first noticed the surpassing beauty of the bride. She was dark as her fathier, and_ber eyes were moist with silvery tears, shadowed by heavy brows and lashes. Her raven black hair Dung fu curly ringlets down her back, and two white spraysof orauge blossoms were worn ‘nmong them. Her dresswas of white sutin, trimmed with gold, reaching just to her ankies; white satin boots covered her small feet, and a neeklzee of pearls encircled her white round neck. She stood about 3 fect 8 juches in height, yet looked small beside the.tall and well- Jhiaped man who was to be her usband. = He was dressed in & buckskin suit, richly orna- mented. The suit c: from the Cherokee touutry. He had long, brown bair, sharp gray eyes, regular featur and was a handsome man, gmudiuz 6 fest 3 inches and weighing 230 ounds. The procession ranged around the rrinisters in the lorm of a haif circle, the bride and groom in the centre. ‘They all stood on white-naired | Tiides, specially tanned for the oceasion. Before the coremony the father of the bride. nude u signal, and two men cume forward with a box and placed it at the fect of the youns couple. That box contained $10,600ingold. Thegrootn’s {ather also made a signal, and another box of $10,00 in gold was brought forward. Then Tollowed the presentation of titles and deeds of # vast estate, in all amounting to chout 5,000 feres of the best laod in Western Texas. After this the mipisters married them in 2 simple style according to the forms and ceremonies of the Mcthodist Church. The weddinfi ring was of heavy gold, and in roturn the bride presented her Lusband with a brenstpin. 5 v When the benediction was pronounced, the young Texan rangers erowded out the old peo- Ple, and with their broad palms they shook the Duppy pair heartily by the bands, « Make way,” said the groom,"* give the boys a chence. Every one of you come forward, rigut here, Lwant to see you all have agood time.” The brawny arms of the cattle-drovers were extended in joyous congratulations, the mausic of the violin, banjo, and_tambourine struck up, and io 2 few moments the grove resembled & beautiful ball-room. ‘Among the company werc ful octoroons in red dresses, low-necked waists, red shippers, black hair withh red rossas their only ornaments. They formed a set with as many _ wild-looking cattle-owners, and they danced a cotillion with the ease and grace of Mexican dancers. in another group were. several guitar-players, ell women, who were singizgand playing. A pretty young ‘maiden and a lad were D euting a double **Téxan fling,” an uncouth, fantastic turn and twist, that requires plenty of ‘action and strength in the limbs. Bashtul young four or five beauti- wen retired and indulged in a mustang racc; others had a quoiting match, and still others threw knives, jumped, ran, clevated heav) weights, and the rest of themen stood aside an tulked of the sports of the chase, politics, and the cattle trade. Refreshments followed infclose order. Wine and whisky werein boundless pro- fusion. Songs were sung, and the violin, guitar, accordeon, tambourine, and flute sounded louder and louder. ‘The grove was the scene of joy and hilarity at noon when the horn was sounded and the an- nouncement for dinnerwas made. The repastwas plain but substantial. _All thera was to eat wus pileduponthetables. Enough had beenprepared 1o feed 500 people. Two young oxen hzd been roasted, and_vegetables had been provided in the same lavish manner. The cellar was filled with wine, native and foreign, and the groom chuckled inwardly as he whispered to a Triend that Lic intended to send thew all home With a 'buy in their car. While they were at dinner, opportunity was given to look at some of the presents.” The groom had received a fine Mexican saddle, a pair of heavy pistols, a bridle made of plaited bair, 2 beautiful silver-mounted rifle, a. plaited-hair las- 80, silver flask, long dagger, pair of high top boots of alligutor leather, set of rifle accoutre- ments, silver tobacco-box, silver-plated spurs, and mapy other articles that are used by drovers and hunters. Not a single article of jewelry was given tohim. The onlything thatapproach- ed Lonschold goods was o magnificent panther skin to be used as a robe. The bride received a magnificent little mustang of fine proportions, cream-colored manc and-tail, aud jhigh bred; then she had o beautiful saddle and bridle; a cage of beautiful tropical birds; a fine St. Ber- nurd dog; a pair of twin calves, as white and as beautiful as “the driven snow; s pet fawn; a globs of bantiful gold fish, that were brought all the way from New Orleans byan sgent of that city; together with a variety of bracelets, rings, car-drops, and two beautiful coral neck- lacés, studded with dlamonds; a large wold cross, and a diamond-studded watch ana chain. After dinner there was a wild time. Such ex- amples of reckless riding had rarely if. ever been seen in this section of Texas. The guests were not intoxicated, but had imbibed suflicient to make them reckless enough to undertake anything. The racing was exciting, yet fraught With dabger. The maidens appisuded _and shouted at the tops of ‘their voices, as the herd- ers dashed by ou their fiery mustangs. Then there was more music and dancing, and thus the sport was continued until 4 o’cluck, when they dvparted, after wishing the couple long: life, hn{)‘}nncss, and prosperity. - 'hen the parents of the bride were ready to depart, the groom mounted his horse, and the young wife vaulted into her own saddle by the uid of the strong arm of ber husband, and the party rapidly galloped away to their home, where the young couple were to spend a week, and then return, to commence life carnest. REFORM IN CINCINNATI. The Reform Club is the title of a new soclety in the West End, organized by young ladies for purpose of discouraging slang phrases in con- versation. At a recent meeting, while a mem- ber was addressing the Society, she inadvertent- 1y made use of the expression, “awful nice,” and was called to order by a sister member for transgressing the rules. “In what way have I transgressed?” asked the speaker, blushing deeply. “You said it wonld be ‘awfal nice’ to admit young geuntlemen to our deliberations,” replied the other. *Well, wouldn’t it be?" returned the speaker; “you know you said yourself no longer azo than yesterday that—->" “¥es, 1 know; but you said ‘awful nice.’ That's slang.” “Well,” said the speaker, tartly, *if you're fio{nv to be 50 awful nice about it, perhaps it is; ut T wouldw't sy anything if 1 were you. Didu’t you tell Sallie Spriggins this morning to puil down her basque? ™ “No, I didn't,” retorted the other, and Sallie S;\nggl’l'm will say I didn’t. She won’t go back on me. “This is a nlee racket you are giving us,” cried the President, after n);)ping bufii speakers toorder. “Let us ask, what is the object of this Society? “To discourage slang,” crled a dozen Yolces. “K-rect, go on with your funeral, said the . President, A member rose to explain that she had been fined ot the last mceting for suying *awful nice™ herself, but. she hadw't the *stamps to pay it now,’—would settle, howevere'“in the sweet by-and-by.” 7 “That’il be” all right,” said the President; ¢ pay when you have the dueats.” Anotlier member asked if & yonpg lady could say *old splendid ¥ withott subjecting hersell to a fine. “Youn bet she can’t,” said the- President, who was the original founder of the Society, and was therefore appealed to when any nice ques- tion was to be decided. Then,” "said the speaker, “I move that Miranda Pew come down with the dust, for T g«;gr&her.say that her beau was * just old uplc'n- id. 5 Miranda's face was in a blaze as she cried: “3Vell, if my beau was such an old hair-pin as yours is, T wouldn’t say it.” Shoot the chinning,” cried the President. ¢ 1Vill you never tumble!” But thé confusion was too great to be allay- cd. Miranda's blood was up; some_sided with Ter, and others against her, and amid the Babel that followed could be heard such exclamations as: “dry up,” “nice blackberry you are,” “ywipe off your chiz,” © hire a hall,” éte., when a motion fo adjourn was carried by a * large majority.’—Cincinnati Saturday Night. AN EGYPTIAN *¢ EXHIBIT.” Philadelphia Correspondence San Franclsco Chronicle: Egypt furnishes an illustration of her own sombre architecture. There were many plaster-casts of Egyptiaa sculpture, queer brass ornaments, old armor, unfamiliar Eastern prod- ucts. ‘The sentimental effect was marred, how- 1 ever, by the cards of prices affixed to many arti- cles. "A still greater departure of mymind from retrospective thought was caused by what I saw inoneof the glass cases. The article to which I 'sllude is Jabeled, * Night-Shirt §t0eSold to Miss Ordwar.? The privilege of seclling any article on_exhibition is ac- corded by the managers,—the only restriction beiug that a delivery to the purchaser cannot be made before the close of the show, and that the regular duty must be paid. Miss Ordway’s night-shirt i beautiful, peculiar, and open to objection for in this changeable climate. The texture is like a web, go_slight that it will i sight or cold. Mos- quitos will reach between the threads and bite Miss Ordwa, if they are not too polite. Evers breaze will blow apon her body unchecked. Hand-worked upon the gossamer fabric arc fanciful fizures in gold thread, and, the founda- tion Leing so slight, they look at a little distance 1s though entircly unsupported. Miss Ordway, When armyed in this ight-sbirt, will depend Targsely upon herself for the beauty of the effect. The cloth will not cover her more thickly than a veil, and the embroiders will seem to rést upon licr flesh. She will have old leaves and vines on ‘Ter back, cluster on each shoulder, another on Ter breast, and viaes will trail down Ler arms. The effect will be at least unique. In the sub- dued light of her sleeping-rooin—clad_only, to all the intents and purposes of appearance, in a Tew gold leaves and vines—she will depend for beauty, a5 I remarked before, entirely upon her- self. ~Coming down toa practical consideration, T wish to record my prediction that she will cateh cold. The garmentis unsuited to any but Cleopatra’s scorching clime. It will cost, with the duty, about $100, and is short for the price. 1t must hang in the case until October, to be admired by thousands of women. A HAWKEYE WOMAN. Mr. and Mrs. Gruetzer, oi Centerville, Iz, were walking near that city, one day last week, when they were accosted by a villainons-loolsing rascal, who presented arevelver at Mr. Greut- zer, and ordered him to “git.” Mr. Greutzer, being of an accommodating disposition, got with the greatest alacrity, and then Mrs. Greatzer, finding berself deserted, went for the man with the revolver, took bis artiilery away from Lim, bit off the eud of his nose, stuck her thumb into Ris eye and crooied ft, aud_tinally twinivg ber hande in his hair, warped him around s supling until he ached and smarted for twelve feet in every direction.

A sccond critic exclaims: “Why, I always thought the organizations were made up of two or mors mobs, for the most part composed of foreign- ers; indeed, I was told by a West-Pointer that the men in the Northern ranks were all Irish.” And the editor of the Times, a soldier as well as a scholar, proceeds to correct these errors, Commenting on these criticisms, the Wash- | ington Capital, edited by Col. Donn Piatt, says: As for our nationa] characteristic of bombast and exagzeration, Hear#h knows we are guilty enough to justify the charges made; but in thig instance theére were certain reasons that restrained onr dis- position to lie, if not tobrag. It is troe that we went into the fight, with the South impressed by the reasonable belief thatone Southerner was equal to o platoon of Yankees, while at the North tlo memory of how the Eazle cowed the British Lion fired the national heart with martial ardor. But, after the fighting began, 2s cach side depended upon volanteers for sofdiery, it was their interest 1o conceul their Josses rather than exaggerate them. In this manner, the bragging and lLies werc confined to claiming victories when defeats had occarred. The killing wasat a fearfal rate, and came of the lack of discipline that kept ceneral oflicers from the proper use of the large armiea under their command. We fought battles by brig- ades. and killed each other in detail, when 3 con- centration of # larze force at & weak point would have ended the Gght in a few hours, instead of ex- tending it, without result, throogh the day, and not unfrequently throngh daye. There i3 an error in the bellef crtertained In Eu- rope that the war was carried on by the TUnited States Government by foreign mercenaries. The term is incorrect, even sdmitting the pres- ence of 8 large forcign elemen: in our nrmies. ‘The honest and earnest emigranu trom Enroge ‘took up arms and fought as citfzens, ns indeed they were. Bat this aid not prevail to the extent claimed. The Irish and Germans were among the first to volunteer, and made 3 proud record on many hard-fought felds for themaclves. But at no time, we venture to say, did they make more than one-fifth of the immense force we had ia thetield. [The records in the Adjutant General's office show that 78 per cent of the Union soldiers were natives, and er cent foreign-born. Tripuse.] The Ivish element almost entirely appenred after the first year. This czme of the fact, patent to the world, that the Catholic Church was o open sympathy with _the South. TRe Fope acas the only polentale in Europe wcho recogaized the Southern Confederacy.
