William, of Ohio, at the decoration of soldier's graves at Akron, 0. The speech was one of Mr. Williams best efforts, and is published entire in the Akron papers. The Stat Convention of Readjustee of Virginia is in session at Richmond. Of 700 delegates seventy-five are colored. The Convention is very enthusiastic and the indications are that the ticket named by this Convention will sweep the State this fall. lion. John Mercer Langston will doubtless remain in Hayti if he wishes. Mr. Langston is a gent'eman of each fino attainments in scholarship and Statesmanship that any change, except in the lino of promotion, would be a loss to the Government and a source of regret to the colored people. The mills of th gods grind slowly, but they grind So thought a convocation of old slaveholders at Harper's Ferry on Decoration Day. Think of it. t'red Douglass, an old slave, delivering an oration on John Brown to a lot of old Virginians at Harper's Ferry, in sight of the very house wherein the old man fortified himself against the whole Confederacy! There stood, too, Hunter, the prosecutor of John Brown, and he was the first to congratulate Douglass on the conclusion of his oration. Governor Wise was not there. He died without the sight; but if there is anything which could make his bones stir in his coffin it is such an event as we have men tioned. And all this in twenty-two years. Who saw the end from the beginning any more clearly than John Brown? Indianapolis Journal. The colored people of South Caro lina are beginning to learn how to count as well as vote, and it begins to dawn upon the benighted intellects of the white liners ofthat State that the period of minority rule rapidly approaches its end. It is reported, accordingly, that a large number of the white people have determined to inaugurate an exodus in the direction

of our great Weit. In their own language they have decided to turn South Carolina bodily over to Africa. We simply rise to state that Africa will be equal to the emergency and that no exodus investigation will be demanded. On with the exodus. Contact with the industry, honesty and intelligence oftho people of the North would have a wonderfully elevating influenco upon the. Southern whites, who at best as a rule are only amateurs in this trinity of virtues. It now seems certain that Ex Senators Conkling and Piatt cm not bo returned to the Senate from New York. President Garfield's course has been so fair and reasonable that even in his own State where but recently his word was law, Mr. Conkling finds the President backed up by the popular will and a majority of the I'epublican members of the Legislature. The gentlemen were guilty of a piece of childish folly which the Legislature of .New York can not afford to endorse. The bet interests of the Republican party and the country at large will be subserved bv the election of two men who will think more of the success of the principles of the Republican party than of patronage, and who will support rather than embarrass the patri

otic administration of President Gar field. A DUTY. We understand that Hon. B. K. Bruce, Register of the Treasury, is receiving applications for positions at the rate of nearly fifty a day. It should be known that appointments in the Register's offico are not made by the Register but by the Secretary of the Treasury. To the utmost extent of his ability Senator Bruce will labor to secure the largest and best recognition possible for the race, but he should not be expected to accomplish all at once, and he should not bo held responsible for impossibilities. Senator Bruce now holds a N ational ollice of great dignity and responsibility. Ho is the representative of six millions of peo ple, and it may bo reasonably as sumed that the calls upon him are, to say the least, numerous, and if ho is not able to accomplish all that is de sired the regret will bo felt by none more keenly than by himself. The dignified position to which Senator Bruce has been called by the Presi dent of the United States is rightly recognized by tho colored people as a high compliment to the entire race. It is a decided advance. It is tho highest appointive position with which any colored man has ever been honored, and we predict that the ability, efficiency and dignity with which Senator Bruce will discharge the duties of his position will pave tho way for still higher consideration and more substantial recognition for the entire race. To this end let no unnecessary embarrassments be thrown in his way, but lot every lover of his race assist to the extent of his ability in holding up the hands of Senator Bruce in his brave eftort to trample down the demon of race prejudice. Success in this direction is a thousand-fold more important to the race than the suc cess of any individual. Daniel Webster Way. Qulncy's Anecdotes.1 The route between Boston and New York by way of New Haven had just been opened, and I was occupying a seat with Mr.. Web ster when the cars stopped at the latter city. Mr. Webster was not quite well, ami, saying that he .thought it would be prudent to take some brandy, asked me to accom pany him in search oi it. We accordingly entered a bar-room near the station, and the order was given. The attendant, without looking at his customer, mechanically tooK a decanter from a shelf behind him and placed it near some glasses on the counter. Just as Webster was about to help himself, the bartender, happening to look up, started, as if he had seen a spirit, and cried ' Stop!" with great vehemence. He then took the decanter from Webster's hand, replaced it on the shell from whence it came, and disappeared beneath the counter, Rising from these depths, he bore to the sunace an old-fashioned black bottle, which lie substituted for the decanter. Webster poured a small quantity into a glass, drank it off with great relish, and threw down a dollar in payment. The barkeeper began to fumble in a drawer of silver, as if selecting some smaller pieces for change, whereupon Webster waved his hand with dignity, and with rich and authoritate tones pronounced these words: "My good friend, let me oiler you a piece of advice. Whenever you give that good brandy from under the counter, never take the trouble to make the change." As we tuned to go out the dealer placed one hand on the bar, threw himself over it, and caught me by the arm. "Tell me who that man is!" he cried, with genuine emotion. "He is Daniel Webster," I answered. The man paused as if to find words adequate to convey the impression made upon him, and then exclaimed, in a fervent half whisper: "By Heaven, sir, that man should be President of 4he United States!" The adjuration was stronger than I have written it, but it was not uttered profanely it was simply the emphasis of an overpowering conviction.

This commencement takes from the Sodalian Society five of her prominent members, from the Y. W. S Literary it will take two of the brighter lights. From our school society in general, will go seven warm friends and laitniui students or wiibertorce. We can nA ask them to stay. We would not if we could,, for we know every individual must answer to the callings of the world's activity for himself. In early tchool days the question is. "When do vou come out?" but as time moves on the question changes to "how wen prepared is he to come out I In answer to thi3 we ask for deeds, not for words.

T at Funk's Hall last Thurt-Jay eve, was a grand affair. Many brt th en were present from abroad, the diill vhs immense, a general good time was hsd, and all departed near the we srna' hours of the night, delighted with the evening entertainment. A "missionary and educational" meeting was held at tho Second Baptist Church Sund.iy eve. Neatly-prepared talks, essays and music was the order of the evening. The announcement had been made three weeks previous that such a meeting would take place, and as to how it would be conducted, bo that when tho hour for beginning arrived the entire number of seats were comfortably filled by an eager and anxious crowd to hear and see all that was to be done. After a voluvtary by the choir. Deacon Clayton was called forth and opened the meeting by one of those characteristic speeches of his which so ably bespeaks tho great interest he has in such work; after which he was followed by Mr. Saniuel.Eaeon.ina neatly prepared paper on 'The Necessity of llome Missions.'' Mr. Eason handled tho subject in a thoroughly perfect and convincing manner, thus showing that the subject had been given much careful thought and attention. After another soul-stirring selection by tho'choir, Miss Yates read an excellent esay on "The Duty of Baptists Toward Homo Missions," Space is not ours to give this essay as we would like, in full, but we will give an extract of it. Miss Yates argued that the desiro to advance Christianity should be the aim of every true-hearted Christian, eay that it was a part of their sacred duty. She said that every Kingc'om of nature, either spiritual or material, had its corresponding scienco, and each science can only bo of benefit to the other, by deducing and developing to the fullest extent the principles that underlie that science. So with missionary work. Every association, congregation, family and individual, has his special mission, and can only be of benefit to Church and community by the most 6traight-forward walks, and by developing their God-given talents. She said that we were continually aiding the mission abroad, seeming to forget that it is much needed at hone, and for us to pass by op fijrtunitie8 to do good work at home and ookfor wider and more needy fields abroad, was like soldiers deserting one division in time of battle to go hundreds of miles to help another. She argued that the best means to support Home Missions was to give cheerfully as the Lord had prospered, and by so doing the work would bo advanced ten-fold, and the old ship, Christianity, would sail against all opposition in peaceful security, delivering sa:ely into the portals of eternal happiness her cargo of faithful children who have assisted in advancing mission work at home. This essay was followed by one equally a3 interesting, by Mrs. J. C. Cor bin, on the necessity of an educated ministry among us. The lady maintained that progress was the first law of nature, and that tho crowning act of Jehovah was the creation of that most intelligent ef all animals, man, and that by his wonderful brain and physical power in making such rapid progress, nearly all of nature is now since the creation in subjection to his wants as lord over creation. Education in its fullest sense is the development of humanity; it is the indispensible condition of progress, and each succeeding generation only impresses us more with the vital importance of an education. Religion and Education go hand in hand; they are inseparable. One is tho outgrowth of the other. The minister stands as an instructor of his people, and common sense teaches that the instructor must, to be successful, thoroughly understand what he teaches. He can not impart that he does not know. It is education tbat must fit tho man for every station in life. In all record of human history, of political and social changes, of moral and religious ideas, progress is the iron lever that has moved the world. The needs of tho pulpit are, first of all, a Godly man; noxt to this an educated and progressive man. He must be a man illustrating high moral qualities, and enter into all that concerns bis flock and their needs. The ?ower of inspiration ia his crowning point, t is felt in holding his people and to call out and sustain . the power of. thought by able and clear reasoning. These are among tho most important requirements, and education lends largely to bring about these. The subject was beautifully handled, and we regret that this one, as Miss Yates', can not be given in full. The meeting closed after a short talk" by L. P. Hunsted and Rej. Bonner, and the raising of $18 for Mission purposes. . SQUIBS. Mr. Samuel Harris, formerly ot this place but now of Kansas City, Mo., will be home soon; also Mr. Hubbard Wilson, of St. Louis.

The idea of a representative of the Indi anapolis Loader appearing in Louisville with a reversible bosom, string tie, and two collars! lie should have written to the firm and received a more extensive outfit; but then, we guess, judging from the length of his colum last week, that he had as much as he could carry back handy.

A New Means of Purification Rural New Torker.J The idea has hitherto prevailed quite generally that for purposes of disinfection we should seek to prevent, in so far as may be possible, any fermentation or putrefacin accumulation of filth. To this end a great variety of powerful chemical agent have been resorted to, such as copperas, chloride of lime, permanganate of potash, carbolic and sulphurous acids, and so forth, which act by destroying the bacteria .or other organisms which cause decay. Professor Alexander Mueller, of Berlin, has now proDOsed an entirely different method of procedure. He has recently patented a process for purifying drainwater which consists in systemetically cultivating therein various yeast like organisms, which feed the matters that would become offensive or dangerou? is left to themselves, So far from using those kind of chemicals which work to destroy tho lower organisms, he adds to the (!&in-water such materials as may be needed to supplement the matters already contained in it, so that there may be a complete supply of food for the organisms he wishes to have grow. The liquid has to be neutralized also, and pains are taken to maintain it at an appropriate temperature; that is to say, to prevent it from becoming chilled. The 'idea is, of course, to foster and, as it were, cultivate the organisms to the utmost. Thus far it has not been found necessary to make any direct addition or "seeding" of tho organism to the drain water, since there are plenty of germs in the air which will develop themselves in the liquid, provided it is in fit condition. The gases generated during the process are made to pass into a system of drain tiles buried in the earth, which absorbs them. A quantity of harmless mud, valuable for compost, settles out from the liquid, . while the water itself becomes so pure that it might be used for almost any domestic or maunfacturing purpose. The process is specially adapted for purifying the drain-water from beet sugar factories, but it is manifestly applicable to other cases where no very large amount of liquid has to be dealt with, and may perhaps be found applicable even to the sewage of cities. It is said that tattoo marks may be removed by pricking milk into the skin in the same way the ink was originally applied. An examination has taken place at Brussels of the railroad employes, in order to test their eyes. More than one-twentieth of them have been found defective, and consequently will bo discharged as being unable to fulfill their functions with a sufficient security for travelers. Says the Journal of Chemistry: 'The following is used by Dr. Rigaut, of Pans, in itching from all causes, in litchen, eczema, prurigo, etc., and with very general success wherever the irritation is nervous rather than mechanical: R Acidi carbolici.'gtt. x., glycerin,- 31; aquamtgi; M. Tobe used in an atomizer, five minutes at a time, several times daily, A new swimming device has been recently patented by Wm. H. Richardson, of Mobile, Alabama. It consists essentially of a light frame carrying a float and a longitudinal ihaft, having at one end a small screw propeller. The swimmer reclines on the float, and, grasping one of the hand cranks in each hand and placing his feet on the two foot cranks, proceeds rapidly and easily, with with the head far enough above the surface ol the water to be comfortable, without extra exertion. It has been demonstrated that plants grown on the sides of hills withstand severe frosts better than those grown in the valleys, because the latter are subjected to more frequent changes of temperature. Last winter Herr Hoffmann made a very careful examination of the effect on vegetation of hard fro3t at Glessen. Very Tittle injury was done to plants at the tops of hills, but those in sheltered valleys were greatly damaged. The frost appeared to be most harmless the higher the exposed plant grew. Tender fruit trees placed in favorable positions on the low ground stood the lowest temperature, twenty-three degrees Reaumur. One remarkable fact was that the foliage of the south side of one and the same bush was destroyed, while that of the north side remained green, The observer also considers that when plants are thoroughly frozen the killing takes place as surely, whether the temperature of the plant be raised twenty degrees that is, from minus seventeen degrees to plüs three degrees or from minus ten degrees to plus ten degrees. With each degree of less variation the injury is proportionately less, and for each species the tatai amplitude or variation is special and capable of being determined.

NnMn. ei. . . HONORING HEROES. Strewing Roses O'er the Graves of the Nation's Defenders, There was, perhaps, more interest manifested in this city on Monday in the ceremonies of decorating the graves of the heroic dead than has been manifested for some years. The day was one of extreme heat, yet it did not serve as an obstacle by which, people were kept awaj In the afternoon nearly all of the business houses and public offices were closed. Much praise is due the hundreds of ladies of the city who so willingly and enthusiastically deoted their time in arranging the floral offerings for the occasion. As early as 8 o'clock in the morning, flags were unfurled from windows and house-tops of many business houses and private residences, emblematic as it were, that the deeds of valor of America's heroes in the dark hour of war for the maintenance of a common country had not been forgotten by those who lived to share in the enjoyment of what had been fraught and accomplished by those who had forfeited their lives in the defense of the Nation. As early as 11 o'clock and up until 3 the streets were lined with carriages and wagons, earn ing people to trown 11111, mat uiey may hear tribute to the memory of the departed ones that had fallen upon the hotly contested fields of battle. . The day was generally observed by all classes f people participating in the ceremonies and renewing fond recollections of the dead, with their deeds of valor and heroic will, ; that has long since been recorded upon the tablets of history. ;" TirE 'PROCESSION. Promptly at 1:30 o'clock the procession formed on Delaware street, and at 2 o'clock the procession moved. The First Division was under command of General Knefler, was headed bv Beissenhen's Band and was comjnwed of forty 1trolmen under Chief of Police Williamson. The Light Infantry under Captain Ruckle came next Next followed the Veteran Association, numberinc ierhaps 100. under Captain Wheat. The George H. Thomas Post of the G. A. R., numbering ierhaps 150, and' the Knights of Columbia, numbering about thirty, came next under Marshall roods. . The Second Division was commanded by Major Irwin Robbins, ana stall, composed of carriages containing Federal, State and County officials, the President of the day, -orator and chaplain, a battery of artillery, under Captain Beeler. with a long line of carriages, private and public conveyances, leader ot Miller s City liand. The Procession was of quite good length, reaching some eight or nine squares. Nearly every person carried wreaths of flowers of some description. AT THE CEMETERY. The procession arrived at the cemetery at about 3 o'clock. There were present upon the grounds at least 2,500 people. At the base of the knoll where sleep the dead was erected the stand. At 3:30 the assembly was called to order by Rev. Myron W. Reed, President of the Day, who made a few remarks before the Divine blessing was invoked by Rev. J. B. Clark, Chaplain of the Geo. H. Thomas Post G. A. R. At the conclusion of the prayer Mr. Reed introduced the Orator of the Day, Mr. Charles W. Smith, of the law firm of Duncan, Smith fc Duncan. The decorations were elaborate, with rnany choice and costly flowers of unique de sign. un the stand were seated a number 01 prominent' gentlemen, among whom were noticed Colonel W. W. Dudley, General John Coburn. Hon. Stanton J. I'eelle, Major Arnold, of - the United States Army; General Fred Knefler, General R. S. Foster. Hon. George H. Chapman, Hon. F. J. Van Vorhis. D. M. Ransdall, II. C. Adams, Hon. J. S. Duncan, E. W. Hastings, Ben D. House and Hon. E. IL Ilawn, Secretary of State. , At the close of the address of Mr. Smith the decoration of the graves began according to the ritual of the Grand Army of the Republic Prayer was offered by Chaplain Rev. J. B. Clark, followed with an address by Mr. J. L. McMasters, the Senior Vice Commander of the Post, Mr. W. A. Brown the Officer of the Day, then scattered flowers upon the graves near which he stood, and the dedicatory verse was read by the Chaplain. Mr. McMasters then ordered the G. A. R. to break ranks, which had encircled the rows of craves, and strew the flowers. The flowers were then strewn and ranks re-formed. In the general distribution of flowers there were no graves neglected. There were numerous tributes of rich collections placed upon the grave of perhaps father, son or brother by some kindred and loving hand. - In all, the day was spent in strewing the green hillocks with immortelles, tokens of affection and love. A curious experiment in heat is performed with an apparatus devised by Dr. Grassi. The apparatus consists of three concentric vessels, separated by annular spaces of about three-fourths of an inch, The outer space is filled with oil and the inner with water. The oil is heated to a point above 212 Fahrenheit, when the water begins to boil. Oil heated to 300 is then introduced into the central vessel, and falls rapidly to a temperature about that of the boiling water. Dr. Grassi finds that this central oil cools the more quickly the greater the heat of the uter rinse of oil a result seemingly very paradoxical.
