A Dialect Victim. A Prospect street dame engaged a new coachman not long ago. He was new in a double sense, having but recently brought himself and bis mixed dialect accent across the briny from Liverpool. One day it occurred to the good lady to iiud out something definite about John’s family. “And your father, John, v;hat was he?” “Thanky kindly, ma'am,” said the coachman, “father was a seeker like, ma’am, fer the ’errin’.” “He means a clergyman, of course, thought the good dame. Then she said aloud: “And was he ordained?” “I think he wor, ma’am,” said the coachman, “though they didn’t ’ave tho smallpox much to speak of where he came from, an’ I don't know whether It took or not.” And now the good lady takes great delight in telling her acquaintances that her new coachman is the son of an English dissenting clergyman. Some day she will rudely awaken to the fact that the 'errin’ are not sinners, but fish. —Cleveland Plain Dealer.

J OLD DAYS RECALLED. J —— —- - REUNION OF THE GRAND ARMY 1 AT ST. PAUL 1 J - Thoneanda of the Old Warriors Hold Their Annual Encampment—The * City Elaborately Decorated—Great Parade of Veterans, 1 ' Veterans Take the Town.

ULLY 100,000 peftpie attended the ■ thirtieth national enc a m p m e n t of the Grand Army of the Republic at St. Paul. The encamp ment this year was ono of the most successful ever held. Cheap railroad rates, cool, pleasant weather and a good program of entertainment combined to make the meeting especial-

s

It attractive to the veterans of the army and navy, and thousands of the gallant old boys took advantage of this favorable chance to spend their annual outing where they could renew their old friendships and talk over the memories of the days of 'GI. St. Paul was decked out in her handsomest attire, the decorations being both pleasing and appropriate. From every housetop in the saintly city floated the red, white and blue banner that extended a greeting to the valeruaa. while across the streets and up and down the wide avenues of the residence portion, and from top to dome of the big oflic® buildings, in all manner of designs, could be seen the national colors. The train bearing < 'omniander-in-Chief Walker and his stuff did not arrive until 11 o’clock Monday night. The regular program, however, was gone through with. So enraptured was the General with the scene and the animated colors of the decorations that he for the moment forgot that he was in the midst of a crowd of curious hundreds, and did not heed the words of Capt. McCarthy, commander of I’; t Sr ML' ■’ ■' Ms COMMAXmin-IX-CHIEE w M.KEII. the department of Minnesota, who sto >d at the entrance to the Hotel Ryan t > es cort him inside.

The formal program of th • encampment was I" gnn M< a reeepti n was given st Hotel Rj an to the Commander m < ’hief and Mrs. Walk er by the citizens' committee and eit.. . ns of St. Paul. The hotel was gayly dee orated fer the occasion, and several then sand persons shook the hand of the Com mander. At the same h<>’.:r at the State Capitol there was a reception to the Grand Army, the Women's Relief Corps and Sons and Daughters of Veterans. Mrs. Marie HazenwinUe, president of the Mitt nesota Women's Relief Corps, was in charge of this reception. It continued untllr? o’clock, and it is estimated that at least oU.OpQ w - -mis passed through the eapitol during the even;:: r. I'he scene about the women’s headqua: ; ers at the Kittson mansion w: - animated. The principal iqiectacle of Tuesday was the parade of the naval vet(*r.tns and th” ex-prisoners of war, escoi United States Infantry, which was reviewed from the Ryan Hotel by Com mander-in-Chief Wa'ker. Tuesday after noon took place the reunion of Mitinos ta troops at the State Capitol at 1 o’clock, and at Fort Snelling, where they were entertained by Col. Page, commandant. Tuesday evening the women of the citizens’ committee held an opt n air reception at Summit Park and Sunnnit aventte. tin the main platform at S inimit Park were stationed Gen. Walker and his staff and a few of the distinguished guests. Wednesday at 10 o'clock the grand parade of the Grand Army of the Republic Started, and this event was looked forward to with great expectation by all. The parade was tinder command of Command- - .J V'A GEX. J. A. GIVEN'. er in-Chief Walker, and it is estimated that there, were .‘50,000 veterans in line. The official order of inarch was as follows: First Division-Veteran Signal Corps. Departments of Illinois. \N isconsin and Pennsylvania. Second Division Departments of Ohio and New York. Third Division Departments of Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, California, Maine, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, Potomac, Virginia, North Carolina. Fourth Division—Departments of Maryland, Nebraska, Michigan, lowa

Seventh Division— Departments of Louisiana, Alississippi, Florida, Montana, Texas, Idaho, Arizona, Georgia, Alabama, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Indian Territory. Eighth Division—Department of Minnesota. . The reviewing stand was at Smith Park. When the Commander-In-Chief reached the stand a salute of seventeen guns was fired and the national colors were displayed on the flagstaff. The colors carried by department", and posts saluted the reviewing officer. The lady visitors to the encampment were handsomely entertained by the fair hi 'I \ o \ a- r ADMIRAL RICHARD WORSAM MEADE. sex of St. I’aul, and elaborate nrrangoments had been made with this end in view. One of the unique features was a ladies’ drive, which took place Thursday morning and was one of the novelties of the reunion. Three hundred carriages were used for the < ecnsion and they made a procession nearly two miles long the pageant being u very picturesque spectacle. Story of the Order. Maj. B. F. Stcpheps qi was the founder of the Grand Army of the Republic and Decatur, 111 . was the p!nce*of the first meeting. The idea originated further back than that, bavver. During Shernum’s expedition to Meridian in February, ISGI, Stephens >n n«t;d Chaplain NV. J. Rutledge were tentmat. The former then proposed the f rm.iti n. when all the boys were mustered •>;!!, of ■ i> h an organization ns the Gra: d Army has grown to be.

Polities was respon-ibh. for the first se’back received by the G A. R. In IS'ki the disputes I ■ tween Fre-oi. nt Johnson nn<l the majority in Congress were the means of greatly hindering the growth of • the Isxly. Political dispu’es also ''a 'sed such great disorder in the post rooms that many members withdrew. The army leaders realized the injury that was done and '■ took steps to counteract it. < *ne of these steps was the addition to the declaration of principles that "this ass iciation does not design to make nominations for office, or to use its influence as a secret organization for partisan purposes." During the next year political discussions were barred from its meetings. Another drawback was the grade sys tern of membership, wnmh v is tii 1 i >r two venrs Di. re w. r.- three grad. s durinß that ton.- t se ~f the "recruit,” the “soldier” and the "veteran.” The recruits had no voice, and. could not have untd two months' membership, when they couli become s >i Hers, who transacted the business. .After six months in the second grade, the soldiers could become veterans, who tiloue were eligible to department and national efiiees. Win t: polities had been banished and ths grade system had been thrown out the army began to grow at a wonderful rate. There are now more than 7.500 posts and about 400,000 men. In 1573 the number 18S9 it was 397.974, and in 1890 it was 1 409,484. This appears to be the high membership mark. In June, 1893, the number ' was 397,223, and it has fallen slightly below that since.
