MEMORIAL DAY-

Vv hut ehRU be said of Memorial Day The eloquence of orators has leer expended, the pathos of poetry nvoked, to do it honor for these many years. It is an unique day of it6 kind. In all the countries on the earth there is nothing like Memorial Day in America. We have our fourth of July. Thnt is a

patriotic occasion. It is celebrated with exuberant demonstrations, with the firing of cannon by day, the bursting of rockets by night. Most nations have each a memorable event in their history. But in reverence of the dead, and in our way of showing respect to their memories, America, we believe, has no imitator. The graves of the soldiers are scattered all over the country. The bones of some are bleaching in Southern soil. In numerous t,raveyards throughout the Noith plain white stones mark their last resting places. In others stately monuments have been erected to

So their graves to-morn will strewn •with (lowers—the purt-ot and sweetest of nature's gifts. Each year a few more graves are added, as an old comrade responds to the call,and joins above those with whom he Las stood shoulder to shoulder Ijelow. The ranks of the old soldiers are thinning fast. We miss their gray locks flattering in the wind on this annual occasion, lint who can doubt that they go to their rest with thankful hearts, knowing that their memories will be kept green and their examples emulated by the rifcing generation?

THE OLD SOLDIERS.

The lioys of 'fil-'G5—whore are they now? Many are Bleeping in the graves that wili be decorited to-morrow. Others—boys no longer, but greyheaded men, many of them of feeble and tillering, nearly all wearing their hair in silvery gray or snowy white, will gather at these graves to do honor to the memory of the ones with whom, in the days that tried men's souls, they fought shoulder to shoulder. Each Memorial Day makes this band of heroes smaller in nntnber, and each year adds those whose graves are garlanded. It will not be many years before the last survivor of the great war will rejoin the ones who died fighting for the most sacred cause for which man ever fought.

We should honor these men while they are among us. The touch of a king's Bwurd knights the man who receives it. These men are all knights—made so by the cause for which they fought. They waged war, not for the bright eyes of lady love fume, as did the knights of old, but for the eternal principles of right and justice. Their sturdy blows knocked the chains from five million slaves, and broke np one of the most iniquitous systems that ever existed. By their valor was a country preserved. They left home, parents, sisters, wives and children to battle nnder a Southern sun for the right. They cheerfully encountered the storms of iron and lead and the deadly hail of muskets, the privations and toils of the long inarches, that the country might enjoy the blessings of freedom. It is right lhat we should decorate the last resting places of those who gave up their lives thus in the heat of deadly combat, fell a prey to the malarious country through which they marched, or died from the diseases contracted. It is meet that we should do honor to their memory, and stand with uncovered heads in the cemeteries where soldiers are buried, for the ground is holy. But let us not the le3s reverence and look up to the survivors of that patriot band, who will leave to their descendants names without stain and the memory of gallant deeds. Honor -, the old Boldier—dead or alive.

Read what the Lafayette papers have to say of

DR. GEORGE B.

M'CLELLAN,

"DIAMOND DICK,"

After his staj- of three months in

that city, where the patron

age given him was

enormous.

A picturesque figure that has been several months in our midst, one afternoon appearing on horseback, again driving four-in-hand and then enjoying an afternoon stroll on foot, is to leave as on the last day of this month to go to the World's Fair city. We refer to Dr. Diamond Dick, who has„ made so many cures in our midst, and who will leave many friends behind ^'him, deser vedly won by his bearing as a man and his skill as a physician. The Journal unites with others in wishing Dr. Dia mond Dick every success life.—Morn ing Journal.

Dr. Geo. B. McGlellan, "Diamond Dick," is* now in the last days of his three months' visit in Lafayette, and will positively close his engagement May 31, going from here to Crawfords ville for a few days engagement and thence to Chicago, where he has a suite of rooms and will remain until after the world's fair. Dr. MeClellan's visit to this city has been a most phenomenal success, his rooms having been crowded from the first, and all who have come in contact with him have found htm a po! ished, genial gentleman, and an accom plished and talented physician. The success of his work here is best shown by the fact that the standing offer he has given out to refund money where treatment was not satisfactory, has not been taken advantage of in a single case, and is certainly a high compliment to his ability. The Courier bears testi mohy to Dr. MeClellan's business promptness promptness and uniform courtesy on all occasions.—Evening Courier.

A word for Dr. Diamond Dick, Dr, George B. McClellan, better known as "Diamond Dick," who has been practicing in Lafayette for several months, and by his skill as a physician, his dignity as a man, lavish expenditure in adver Using, which be says tells every time, and prompt payment of all bills in carred, he has won the admiration and respect of all who have met him professionally and in a business way, and now that he is leaving us for a broader field in Chicago, the Call wishes for him ev ery happineee and prosperity.— Evening Call.

When Doctor Diamond Dick leaves Lafayette on the 31st inst. he will carry with with him the beBt wishes of the 7 imes, and the numerous friends he has made daring his stay iG our midst. As a healer of diseases the doctor has made a phenomenal success, while he has won a national reputation which cannot be but gratifying to him. Though he has had an enormous practice among paying patrons, he yet has found time to at tend to many who were too poor to buy his medicines, and he has been most generous in this respect in bestowing his time and treatment npon the poorest. Generous in his nature, square in his dealings with business men, devoted to his practice, he has deserved and won success and may long life and prosperity be his.—Sunday Times.

Dr. Diamond Dick, at the so henauon of many people, has re turned to Crawfordsvilie for stay of two clays only.
