Memorial Address llelkered by RevKtiiu, May SOth. [continlkp | Such arc the proud spirits which lie entrenched unmarked and unsung In Southern soil. Should we not repeat the ceremony of an honored burial for them today? Benedict Arnold once asked a loyal captain what the Americans would do with him if They could get him, and received the following answer: ‘•They would cut off your game log, bury it In the honors of war, and hang the rest of you on a gibbet." Thirty-four years ago last week, the president of the now defunct Southern confederacy reached the intended seat of its governmental Richmond. Va. Ami our country at home, an well as among the nat’ons around, would today be In striking contrast to what it now ts. had not the attempt at disunion been successfully resisted. Some dhl believe otherwise then, but Who now? Since we still have a country', the richest, the broadest, the most beautiful ami the most capable of magnificent destiny for God and for mail. Casteliar of Spain once said: “Asia Is the memorable laud of the past, Europe the volcanic land of the present, but America, with its immense virgin territory, with its republic, with its equilibrium between •< stability and progress, 'with its harmony between liberty ami democracy, is the continent of the future where mankind may plant, prove and resolve all social, political and religious problems.” And such high hopes can only be entertained since the achievements of our nation’s heroes, living aud dead, have entered permautly into the lip- ami unity of this, our government, its integrity has been sealed and made permanent by the blood of more than four hundred thousand of America’s best sons. And they came from everywhere, from the coasts beyond the eastern stars, from the shores of the northern lakes amt rivers, from th» Howers of the western prairies, from midland and border they came to defend and in that defense to die for us and the future of this country. All hail, brave boys, well may tne sweetest Hower-in pride wither upon such graves. The most vivid illustration of a well tried patriotism, as well as a severely tested loyalty is found in the conduct of the imprisoned soldiers of the late war. The betrayal of the flag under which they were captured, would have released them at once. Yet of the ninety-four thousand and seventy-two Union soldiers who were confined tn Southern prisons diking ttie war, there were ninety-four thousand and fortynine remained true to . the flag of their country: and this, too. amid suffering and hop'lessness froth which death itself, tri any form would have been a relief. One out of four thousand aud that only, when weakened by Waul, sickness ami starvation, with a forgotten and unmarked grave in an enemies land staring him in the face, while he daily witnessed hundreds of his comrades roughly borne to the common ditch that soon mirft hold them all. Yet only one out of four thousand chose this alternative in the face of such a death. 1 repeat if.sirs! Such loyalty to a country’s flag under similar circumstances, if there ever were, was never heard of on the earth before. No wonder that we with millions more celebrate memorial occasions like these: no wonder that we carve, and then lift up the honored names of the Union soldiers in lasting monuments of marble and uronze. Yes, no wonder you enshrine their memories in historic and beautiful chapels, let the memorial of such loyalty go wherever the wind blows: let it go wherever the sun shines; let it be written on every leaf t hat trembles in the forest : let the million stars that peep their silent watch over the dust of these sleeping heroes, proclaim that matchless model of loyalty. To the precious memory of these and their comrades in arms we commemorate today. While the dead sleep sweetly in the heart of the nation they died to save, let neither the dead nor the living be forgatteu. Most of those who were the active participants in the war, one by one are rapidly passing away. Grant, McClellan. Logan. Hancock! Garfield amt many others of noble name and national fame are on the other side talking of the victories that were achieve while here and waiting for the coming ot the brave boys who marched-with them to victory at Mill Springs. Chicanmuga, Nashville and those wlio fought the battle-above the clouds at Lookout Mountain, and at Kenesaw, Resaca anti so on to Atlanta, and how many long since have been borne to their graves who marched with Sherman to the sea. Aud the survivors of the many battle fields ami hospitals who stand before us today are no longer the beardless boys who enlisted more than a third a century atgo. Then they were tliished witffi umtlhpoiHvin it§ morning glow, hot- tjtfMHl. ROiiksed'. fbrhugh their problem ijfe was before them, ami thus they. earried : all that there was of the husband, th*# father, thp to the altar of their country. “The lives of these noblemen. like the stained web that whitens in the sun, grow purer by being being purely shown upon." Death makes no conquest of these conquerors for now they live in fame though not in life. Byron said of soldiers, “What of them is left to tell, where they lay and how they fell! Not a stone on their turf, nor a bone in their grave, but that they live in the verse that immediately saves.” Shall not the obscurity of their silent and unmarked resting place in thp land of blood an 1 battle be lighted up by our grateful remembrance Os their heroic lives, over whose gravds now peacefully and triumphantly wave the stars and stripes they died to honor and protect? Let the day of independence aud our memorial day have equal place in the gratitude for our nation, let no Ardently love and jealousy gnat d over our free .institutions ami catch thespirit of the American girl who, when recently passing through the tower of London, her English girls called her attention to a cannon and said: “Here . is a gun we took from you at the battle of Bunker Hill.” “Yes, - ’ said the girl. “You took the cannon, but we kept hilt.”

Since It is so sadly true tliat the war of | the rebellion has taken many of our noble fathers, and brothers aud sons, it Is only grateful In us to safely guard the price of their blood. Then will our nation’s dead not have died in vain, and our nation's living defenders not have sacrificed in vain and with the nation’s flag twined about the cross of Christ, live for God and mankind Under the mound of dust where sleep our absent braves there is doubtless much precious gold—jewels from more thau one loving mother’s heart, idols ot more than one proud sister, flowers horn more than one pleasant home and the elements of greatness in this buried generation is in this, that thpy did it for others. It is tittiug that our thoughts should be carried to these departed comrades in this propidous time in the year, when native stands rolled in all the pageantry of resur- ! re t : on morning, when the emblems of life have been wrested from the emirrace of , winter when the opening bud and the blow ing (lower, with the face foliage of the forest join with the green sward upon I which you have been standing today around ■ the honored graves to pay a merited tribute I to their sacred memory. We are sure we ■ speak the common wish ami prayer of a grateful country, when we assure that the | noble deeds of ‘the Union army, with’ the army itself, livingor dead, shall long be] cherished in our hearts, and that the Hag i you have defended provide to you a shelter ! from calumny,,poverty and want. And now brave men. you were husbands and sons, of wives and mothers perhaps no , i less noble than you. and you will pardon a brief reference to them on this day of refreshing memories, and perhaps we can do' no better than to give the language of I Thomas Buchanan Reade: " The maid who finds her warriors sash. With smile that well her pain dissembles. ! The'while beneath her drooping lash - One starry teardrop hangs and trembles. Though heaven alone records that tear. And fame shall never know her story. Her heart has shed a drop as dear As ever bedecked the field of glory. The wife who girds her husband’s sword. I I Mid little ones who weep and wonder. Arid bravely speaks the cheering word What, though heart be rent asunder. Doomed nightly in her dreams to hear The bolts of death around him rattle, - Has shed as sacred blood as ever Was poured upon the field of battle. The mother, who conceals her grief. While to her breast her son she presses. Then breathes a few fond words aud brief. Kisses the patriot brow she blesses. With no one but her secret God To know the pain that weighs upon her, Sheds holy blood as ever the sod Received on freedom’s field of honor." Sam Henry Post, Np ta, G? A. R. Decatur.

You’ll find your ancestors deceased Inside your own old caves. There my remains may now be sought. Mixed up with mastodons, Which very long with flints I fougbt Before I fought with bronze. In simple skins I wrapjatd ma round Ere mats 1 learned to make. I dug my dwellings In the ground Or reared them on a lake. I had no pen. I'm sure of this. Although you say I penned All manner of theologies “ Lu Sanskrit and in Zend. My nature you've misundorstood. When first I sojourned here, I worshiped chunks of stone or wood; My rites were rather queer. The more my little ways you scan The less you'll care to praise « And bless the dear old Aryan Ot nooliuhic days.

DECEIVED BY A DUDE. Row a 53,500,000 Bid by an Unknown Man Was Taken Seriously. Samuel P. Scfinekers died recently at Wooster, O. lie was a brother of J. W. Sehuckers, private secretary of Salmon „P, €ll3BO, and brother-in-law of John H. Oberly, ex-civil service commissioner. An interesting incident is recalled by Sehuckers’ death which has never found its way in the newspapers. .The incident occurred a number of years ago, and during the time of the sale of tho Lake Shore railroad at Cleveland it happened that Sehuckers and John McSweeney, the great criminal lawyer, met at the sale. McSweenfiy bad but a short time before made a great hit by his political speeches at Cleveland and Philadelphia and was attracting attention all over the country. At this particular time he was trying a case at Cleveland. Young Sehuckers was in these days a veritable dude and very sprucy. He went to Cleveland to have a time, as he always lefi Wooster to celebrate, and was having a good, glorious time on this particular occasion. He was small and wiry ir stature and always carried a silk umbrella. It happened that he met McSwcc’ney in the rotunda just as he had finished an argument and while the sale of the. Lake Shore railroad was going on. They stopped for a moment at the edge of the excited crowd bidding in the road. There were a number of syndicates represented—foreign, Vanderbilts, Goulds and others. The bidding had reached $3,100,000. In a spirit of devilishness young Sehuckers bid $3,500,000. In a moment a rush was made toward the new bidder, and a demand was made, to know what syndicate ho represented. His only reply was, with a wave of his silk umbrella, “Go away from me. ” The excited representatives of the other syndicates asked for a recess, which was granted, and in 30 minutes they came back, when the bid was raised to jM,000,000 and sold. Mi. Sehuckers’ sprucy appearance and bein'g iii company with the great criminal lawyer had led them to believe be represented some, secret syndicate who were trying to gain possession of the valuable railroad property.—Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. Iron Tonir For Orange Trees. G. \V. Prescott of Highland, who took the medal for the best box of packed oranges at the late California State Citrus fair, has been experimenting with iron tilings in his young orchard. Being master mechanic of the Santa Fe system in southern California at San Bernardino, he knew more about iron filings than he did about guano or any other fertilizer, 'and knowing that a certain amount of iron in the soil was essential to a healthy growth of the tree and the production of fruit he jpur live pounds of this material around each free, and as a f-esult he has a highly colored orange, where,before lie had a pale colored fruit, The cost- is insignificant. A thousand trees on ten acres will require 5,v00 pounds which costs $4 per ton —slo for the ten acre orchard. Os cour “ this application of iron is not intended to supersede ail other fertilizers, L 6 simply to supplement them in order to. give a good color to tho fruit and enable the grower to put an attractive orange on the market, and incidentally to assist him occasionally in winning a go! 1 medal. The railroad shops at [Sail Bernardino can furnish one ton per day of this material, and other shop£ cau also assist in supplying the demand. —Producer. ' Cost of Living In Fnrope’s Capitals. Au investigation into the comparative cost of living at the various European capitals results in fhefollowing interesting facts: At Vienna the prices of most articles of food are lowest. At Madrid they uro dearer than in any other capital, and such things as bread, meat, sugar and coal itrh very expensive. Ar St. Petersburg also the pribe of bread is s > high thatwhite bread is still considered a luxury above rhe means of the working classes. Next to Vienna, Brussels is an inexpensive city. Paris is a little higher in the scale, but London is “terribly expensive.” ' Sure to lie the Case. “I can’t tell you,” said the experienced suburbanite in reply to the question of his new neighbor, “when the next train goes, but I can tell you what your chances of catching it are. ” “What are they?’* inquired the new neighbor eagerly. “Well, if you run as hard as you can,” said the experienced resident, “you have 15 minutes to wait, aud If you merely walk you’ll find the ttaiu just 'pulling out. ’’--Chicago News.

The Flve s Federal Penal Institution* nf the Country—Almont 340 Rank Uefanlter* Imprisoned In the Laud. Former bank officers to the number of 68, all serving sentences in one penitentiary! Tliat is the remarkable fact which will appear in the forthcoming report of Warden Hayes of the Kings County (N. Y.) penitentiary. To Im: more explicit, there are now within the cold gray and black walls of that institution stwen men who. when arrested for embezzlement of depositora’ funds, were presidents of national banks; I'2 men who, when rounded up in a careen 1 of crime by the strong arm of the law, were honored and respected cashiers of national banks, aud 49 other men who were trusted clerks or tellers in banks of the same class. . The Kings County penitentiary is one of the five peual institutions in the country which, under- contract with the general government, keep in confinement all prisoners convicted of felonies by the United States courts. The other prisons that board Uncle Sam's lawbreakers are that at Albany, the Erie County penitentiary near Buffalo, the House of Correction at Detroit and the most impregnable prison in the world, the Minnesota Stare penitentiary at Stillwater, Minn. Federal convicts are allotted to the contracting prisons in turn. At present the Kings County penitentiary has all the United States' prisoners that it is permitted to have. For this reason Bill Cook, the Indian Territory desperado, train robber and murderer, was sent to Albany. The offenses for which the federal courts send prisoners to the penitentiary are for felonious violations of the pa- 4 tionfll banking laws, for robberies of and interference with the United States mails, for counterfeiting the coin or bank notes of the government, for misose of the mails, for violations of the revenue laws and for felonies committed in the territories not punishable under tribal laws. Fefieral prisoners, as a rule, are either men of more than average intelligence, such as bank defaulters and counterfeiters. or of desperate courage and daring, such as train robbers and moonshiners. There are today in the five penitentiaries named 3,100 federal prisoners. In their assignment no distinction is shown. A new batch is sent to the prison that has at the time the fewest “boarders.” as they are called. • The percentage of former bank officials at Albany, Erie. Detroit and Stillwater will average the same as at the Kiugs County institution. The total number, is equally divided between the five prisons. There are at present 405 “hoarders” at Kings, of whom 68 are from banks. The total number of bank defaulters, embezzlers and wm-kers formerly connected with national banks alone will, therefore, approximate 340, or about one-sixth of the total number of federal prisbuer.s in confinement for felonies.—New York World. . MARBLING BOOKS. The Slow Okl Process by Which the Fancy Kdges Are Made. Almost ever since the first books were made the fashion of marbieizing the edges of many of them has been iu vogue. It used to be,-however, that only the most expensive volumes — those bound in full calf and elaborately lettered—had their edges thus garnished, but now such finishing is left, for the mdst part, for ledgers, daybooks ami other blank books intended for business use. Though long before gilt edges were thought of the ornamenting of the plain, white edges"of books to imitate marble was popular, there has been little or no change in the. process since its.first introduction. It is generally supposed that all such details have come under the stamp of the bookmaker’s art until there is nothing left in them to remind one of their first and ewiiest. days, but net with marbling. As time has gone on the popularity of this raetliod of embellishing paper has grown less. Consequently there has been no need to devise iueivis by which it eould he more speedily done. There have been some improvements in the original methods, but most bookbinders «£tlll stick to the old way as good enough. Instead of books whizzing through machinery one after another and taking ou theirmarbled edges in some mysterious manner, its might bo §usposed, each book is takt ii by hand separately and the lea Yes dipped, tightly held together, into the liquid that"marks tlieir.edges with the many colored little .veins, before the covers are put on. ' A trough about two inche# Step'is .filled with gum water, on the surface of which various colored pigments have been thrown and disposed in various fcjins with a comb and coarse wire teeth. The edhs of liquid paint are ranged along the sides of the trough, arid from them the paintjs r.iken, by dipping into them long, soft hairbrushes that are held over the water and allowed to drip. One color is put down - right over the other, and the Wide, coarse comb dragged through them. The books are extremely dexterously dipped into the water, and the colors, adhering to their edges are set by dashing cold water over them. 0 But one of the three edges at A time can be marbleizt d and set up on end to dry before the book nan be handled again for another dipping. Thus the variegated edges of books and marbled papers for Xho sides ami covers of them are produced. The process may seem a little-slow, but it answers all the needs that the bookbinder finds for it.—St. Louis Republic.
