It is now generally understood that Susan Perkins is one who wields the birch in our public schools, aud that she is a he who moves in our best society circles and is the gossip of the elite. Now since we have had superabundant descriptions of the latest fashions, what colored ribbons are the most admired, what style best becomes Miss So-and-So, what kind of hat Mr. So-and-so wore. &c., wc suggest that the gifted Susan turn his thoughts in another direction. If he cannot thing of anything to write surely the Jiroad field of political news will supply ample-material for his pen.

Or. Jnmcs F. Mrtrew.

The name of this gentletr.Au appears in the announcement column of the Express this morning as a candidate for the office of Coroner, subject to the decision of the Republican nominating convention.

Dr. McGrew was born and raised in this county and has been a practicing physician in this city for several years, lie has had a number of years experience in hospital service in the city of Indianapolis.

Wc think it is time that our people were taking into consideration the nece*ity of electing a member of the medical profession to the office of Coroner. In many cases post-mortems ought to be held, which are not held through want of knoVledge on the part of the Coroner.

We know that then? is no better man for that office in the state than Dr. James F. MeGrew. —Turkish newspapers oppose Goschens mission.

MEMORIAL SERVICES

AT VFOODLAW* CEMETE8Y YESTERDAY, COMMEJIOHATTXG THE LIVES OF OI FALLEN

HEROES.

The mention of a soldier's name calls up to every mind a familiar train of interesting, yet painful imagery. Can it be, therefore, surprising, that words and acts portraying our regard for those who fell in the late struggle, should be indulged in by us, and thus keep up an institution by which we will be enabled to treasure up in our hearts with unusual care the memory of our heroes? We have travelled together over many varied incidents and opposite issues, but turn over once more the pages of our history and see which of the events will most stir the hearts of its readers. There is scarcely a citizen who has not personally felt the effect of our late war, beside the general sorrow caused by the sacrifice made by these brave warriors.

The exercises yesterday showed an enthusiastic soul in the spirit of citizens to keep up the memory and manifest deep regard for the soldiers who fought, under the stars and stripes, for the purpose of maintaining the principles under which the flag was established, and prevent tbe erasure of one of the stars and bars from the field. The main thoroughfares were thronged with people, and all appeared to be infused with the solemnity of the occasion. The procession formed on Third street, headed by the police force and Ringgold band, leading the Light Guards. Governor's Guards, Cadets andHagerVet erans, followed by the Drum Corps and mail carriers at the head of the column formed by members of Morton Post G. A. R. Succeeding these were the carriages conyeying the speakers and different committees, and wagons occupied by children appointed to place the flowers on the soldiers graves. A large number of citizens in private conveyances joined in the procession.

Passing through the principal streets they marched to the cemetery where the ceremony was performed.

After the speakers and singers had taken their seats the Grand Army of the Republic and "Hager Veterans" stationed themselves in front of the stand while the other military companies finding suitable places, stacked arms and broke ranks. The exercises were begun by Col. McLean calling the congregation to order, after which Mr. Miller made a short speech and the appointed persons started on their decorative mission. Col. McLean then made an appropriate address in his usual impressive and eloquent language, which was followed by an appropriate selection of music by the choir. The Chaplain of Morton Post, G. A. R. then offered a prayer, and was succeeded by the reading of the names of deceased members of the Post whose death occurred during the year.

The exercises were continued with a responsive service by the Chaplain of the Post and comrades.

The choir then sang a chant arranged for the occasion. Mrs. Howard Manning next addressed the assembled multitude with an ably prepared address, which was listened to with a great degree of interest by those who heard it.

The regular decoration oration was then delivered by the Rev. O. A. Burgess, of Butler University, who is an old soldier, and who entered into the exercise of commemorating that zeal and commendable interest due to a Union soldier who desires to keep fresh the memory of those who fought and died by his side. His address was excellent in every point, and as we could not do justice by merely commenting without eiving a full purport, we will not attempt a report, suffice it to say, that it was well worthy the notice of all present, and the attention with which it was received showed to what extent it was appreciated.

After the doxology and benediction the crowd dispersed, and thus ended the commemoration day of our noble and heroic dead.

Our Dead Heroes.

Communicated.

Yesterday the people once more assembled in one grand cause: the decorating of our slumbering heroes' graves. Saturday was originally intended as the time thi

for this noble work, but a heavy rain last ing the greater part of the day prevented it. I was glad it did. The 30th of May is recognized all over the United States as the day to strew flowers o'er. the graves of those who died for their country, but a great many people in this place as well as in other portions of the State and United States seemed to think it would be a most heinous decoration of the Sabto decorate on Sunday, so they urged that it be done on Saturday. But, as I said—and of course, the people all know the rain interferred. Nome rain Hereafter when I am exposed to a heavy rain, I will not srrumble, for it has done me a great service, and I can well afford1 to stand its dampening influence.

But I digress. Whv should those persons oppose putting their Sabbath to such noble use as decorating dead heroes' graves I defy one and all of those umblers to prove to me that the Sabath is one bit better than Saturday, Thursday, or any other day. Could they engage in a nobler cause on this "great" day, than showing some slight token of respect to those who died that they might live and enjoy themselves to preserve the nation, and hurl the monster sedition back from their homes The decoration of those noble warriors' graves is one of the grandest, noble and elevating acts, even if it be done- on the "Sabbath." Who can deny it? Why, the worst barbarians have more respect for their dead than those so-called Christians do. Of course, I do not charge all persons with being hypocritical. There are some as good, and true women and men in the church as could be wished for.

Those men that lie beneath the sod fought and bled and died for their couu try. When the first dread note of war rang through the land, like a knell from some sepulcber of death, chilling the blood of the weak and timid, those dead heroes were the men who offered their lives as the4 sacrifice by which their beloved country could be preserved from the invading foe. "O! justice, thou art, indeed, fled to brutish beasts." What a beautiful sight it is to see a broad-cloth bedecked, white-choker adorned man stand up in a pulpit and say it is a sin to decorate on Sunday, the graVes of those who fought to give them the lucrative position they occupy of trying to show the people the way to keep this glorious land intact, and to prevent a foe from penetrating their homes, and laying waste this beautiful land. Where would be your temples of worship but for those dead heroes? Where would be your houses but for those dead heroes? How many of you would have been alive to-day but for those dead heroes? Who foujrht and died that those "straight-backs" might live?

Those same men, who think that it is a sin to decorate on Sunday the graves of the men who died that they might live would, as the black cloud of war cast its hideous shadow o'er the land, either sink into some secluded hole or go over to the enemy. They would not expose their precious forms to the misiles of the enemy, even though their country's safety depended onlt, or the lives Tf those they should nourish and protect. What devil (if one existed) could deny the people the privilege of showing their gratitude to the men who gave up everything in defense of their country? No devil would but what some ministers and Christians won't do. you can rest assured the devil will not try.

Noble men, who rest beneath the waving trees and grass, I'll remember thee and will decorate your graves. Sunday or any other time, though the whole world say no. You died in a noble cause! I decorate in a noble cause! Sleep on, peacefully, noble mcu: I revere thee! F. T. C.
