I approached a lobster salad the other day with fear and trembling, but after eating it, did not feel any discomfort.

After the affecting scenes, when the Gen eral had reviewed some of his old companions in arms, he felt very much depressed, but the advocent of some of his old friends and the presence of Dr. Douglass soon cheered him up again.

DRINK DID IT. A Desperate Character, Crazed with Liq •oor» Commits a Double Murder and Attempts a Third. Port Deposit, Md., Mav 30. Early this morning, Thoa. E. Brown, in company with hia father-in-law, Jas. Tolson, started to drive to this place. They met Chas. P. Barnes, a brother-in-law of Brown, lie seemed under the influence of liquor, and armed with a double barrelled shot gun asked Brown to get out of the wagon as he wished to speak to him. After exchanging a few words, Barnes said, “Tom, I think I will shoot you.” Brown replied, “Charlie, you won’t hurt any one,” and disarmed him, standing the gun against the fence, after which he got in the wagon to resume his journey. Barnes regained the weapon and taking deliberate aim, fired, killing Brown instantly, leaving the victim lying in the road. He went into Ids house and calling his eldest son, 10 years of age, and deliberately shot him, blowing off the entire crown of his head. The boy fell dead and the brute, see ing his second son at a distance, opened fire on him, but he escaped with only a slight wound. Barnes went to his room and got in bed. Knowing his desperate character.Sher ifl Smith summoned a posse and repaired to the murderer’s house and captured him with little resistance. He was hurried to Elkton jail, the sheriff fearing the excited public would lynch him. It is not known what prompted the murders, except that Barnes had been drinking heavily for some lime past and very abusive to his family. HORRIBLE MURDER. A Night Drug Clerk Found with hi*Skull Crushed and his Throat Cut from Eat to Ear—No Clue to the Murderer. New York, May 31. Richard Hands, night clerk at Cramford's drug store. 120 Hudson street, was murdered last night by unknown parties. When the day clerk came on duty this mornig he found Hands seated in a chair in a little back room where he slept. His skull was crushed in i and his throat cut from ear to ear. His bed had not been occupied, indicating that the deed was perpetrated early in the night. A pestle with blood and hair adhering to it was found near by and is believed to have been the weapon first used. There was no evidence of a struggle and it is thought the blows on the head were dealt from behind and the throat cut after the clerk struck the chair. As yet the police have no clue to the murderer. Hands was unusually popular and was not known to have an enemy. His domestic re lations were of the happiest. He lived with his wife and two children, opposite the build ing in which was the drug store. Saturday, about 11 o’clock, his wife took his lunch to him as usual and left him in good spirits. She was preparing his breakfast this morning when the tidings of his terrible death came home to her. With a cry of anguish she fell fainting to the floor and it was feared for some time that she would not survive the shock. A BRUTAL FATHER.

While time has dulled, some what, the pangs of grief over death, a patri otic leeling has grown up within us and moves us to honor the memory of the dead heroes. These s»ldie~s were citizens like ourselves. They made into an army which our system of republicanism without a stand ing army called to the front. Not one man of them died in vain. We have the evidences of the solidity of our government for which they (ought,” New York, May 31. About 5000 people witnessed the ceremo nies at the Evergreen cemetery today.attend ing the decoration of the graves of their dead by the New York Lodge of Elk. Henry Ward Beecher delivered the ora tion “I belong to that church.” said he, “that declares the love to God and the love to our neighbor to be the truest of religion.

The Ladies of Baltimore Present the Vet erans with an Elegant Monument. Baltimore, May 30. The unpleasant weather seriously inter fered with the decorations of the soldiers graves in this city. At the National cemetery on Frederick Road, where the greatest number of soldiers were buried, about 1000 people, including G. A. R. Posts, assembled. A handsome monument of granite had been erected and was presented by ladies to the veterans. The base is about eight feet square and above it is a representation, in terra cotta, of soldiers marching and wound ed men. The shaft is about 20 feet high and bears the inscription "‘How sleep the brave who sink to rest with all their country’s honor blest.” etc. Each grave in the cemetery bore an imma ture national flag and flowers were spread over them.

THE INDIAN RAID. The Hostile* Endeavoring to Escaps— A Guide’s Experience. Derver, Col., Msy 30. A special from Silver City says Although the Indians have apparently left the imme diate vicinity, many fresh trails have been discovered in the country about here. The trails are small, indicating that the bands are breaking up and are wandering through the country, doubtless seeking a way to escape. The people are thoroughly aroused, and it seems impossible for the Indisns to get back to their reservation. If they fail to And a way to escape to Mexico, the campaign will probably last two or three months. Most of the squaws and children are believed to have gone South, while the backs keep the stten. tion of the troops elsewhere. Cowboys have discovered the bodies of four Indians, killed by Bunting and Haynes in Magellon Creek, covered with stoms. A man named Wm«, in from Twin Sister Peak, waa a guide for the troops from Fort Bayard. Yesterdav, when near Wilson Canon, Watts became separated from the command. He was discovered by a small band of Indians, who cut off hit retreat. The latter fired, and the Indians gave cbaae, kill ing bit horse. He escaped to the fort on foot, leaving the troops in pursuit. Indians were seen near Georgetown vester day, and freth signs of them are seen cross ing the road between here and Ballard's Peak, (opposed to be the largest band of the bostiles. There are report* of killing in other sections, bnt none in this city. The Mexican troops are gatberiag on the border, waiting for the hostile* to cross. The pres ent Is tiie most bloody and bold raid made in many year*. The Indians ate going through all setttled sections where perfect immunity from attack was felt. A LIVELY FRACUS. A Lunatic Has Pall Possession of a; Railroad Train, Bat is Overpowered After Hack Trouble—One Ran Killed. _ Chicago. Msv 31. Passenger train No. 6. on the Wabash. St. Louis A Pacific railroad arrived here today, an hour and a half late, in charge of a mad man Out of 12 or 15 men, officers and citizens, who finally secured him, one officer is dead, shot through the body, another prob ably fatally wounded and several citizen* in jured. The lunatic himself lies in the county hospital mortally wounded with three bullets in his body. Shortly before dawn today, the station policeman at the Wabash. St. Louis A Pa cific depot on Polk street read the following dispatch: Chsho, Ills., I have an insane man on my train, who has possession of one car. The police at Kansas City, Jacksonville and Peoria were all afraid take him. Please send 10 or 12 policeman to take him when we arrive in Chicago. Ttey had better come in citizens clother. They will have to look out or some one will get hurL Pctkam, Conductor. Nine officers in uniform and five in citizens clothes, under command of Lieut. Lough, made up the squad which arrived at the depot 10 minutes before the train was due. As the train approached the whistle sounded a num ber of warning notes. People hanging half way out of the windows were seen to gestu late widely to the crowd. Before the train had come to a standstill a dozen passengers jumped to the ground and fled, looking back with blanched faces. Officer Barrott was the first to observe the lunatic, who, with levelled revolver, glared at him from the front platform of the chair car Barrett turned half round and stooped instant ly, but too late. The ball from the lunatic's revolver struck him in the tide, and in five minutes he was dead. One look at the man iac was enough to satisfy anyone that while his ammunition lasted he would not b taken alive. The officers, after removing their wounded comrade, began firing a fuciladc through the windows of the smoking car, where the mad man had taken refuge. After a minute or two he plunged out on to the platform, fired a couple of shots into the crowd, then leaped and dashed down 4th avenue with Officer Laughton in hot pursuit. The lunatic fired the last shot in his weapon, but without effect, and then awaited Laughton’s coming with glaring eyes and frothing mouth. They clinched and both fell, the madman mean while beating Laughton unmercifully on the head with his revolver. Tho officer was in citizens’ clothes, and was set upon and terri bly pounded bv an excited colored man who mistook him for the prisoner. The rest of the squad arriving shortly after, the maniac was overpowered, taken first to a cell and then to the hospital to have his wounds dressed. When he realized that further resistance was use less, the prisoner grew calm and said quite rationally his name was Louis Resume; that he was 33 years of age and was enroute to his home in Detroit from Denver. The train men ol No. tell a thrilling story of the trip from Kansas City, where the man boarded the train, remarking that the people were after him to lynch him and that if left alone he would molest no one. At Elpaso, III he became violent and with revolver in hand, ordered the train men to cease making some changes in the make-up of the train. The passemters ail left the chair car. which the mad man made his headquarters, and were locked into others. No one dared to approach the lunatic and after he had exchanged sev eral shots with the city marshal, he ordered the train to proceed, and from there to Chi cago his will was only law obeyed. “EVOLUTION AND RELIGION.” Henry Ward Beecher Gives the Second ot His Ten Sermons. Nkw Vokk, May 31. The second of Henry Ward Beecher's pro jected ten sermons upon “Evolution and re ligion,” was delivered to a large audience in PI) mouth church this forenoon The sermon was read from raannscript. He said in part: “That thp world and the entire universe are the creation of God is the testimony of the Bible, with the Jewish and Christian, but how he made them, whether by the direct force of the creative will or by gradual changes, is bv no means to well agreed upon. But the world is not a chance, not a creative fermentation, not a self development. It is the product of an intelligent being and of a divine will. We have two records of creative energy. One shows how man was unfolded by the inspiration of God’s nature, and there is another record or revelation of the physiccal state, that of the Divine thought in unfolding the history of the mat ter. One is God’s thought in the evolution ot natural forces and another in the evolution of the mind. It is the old testament and new in a scien tific sense, and no one should turn in scorn from the literature of the rocks, written in the hand of God all over the world. The ten commandments written on a stone are only a paragraph in the book of nature. Science is the translation of God’s revelation. There is as much more infidelity in re gard to the history that science has unfolded as in regard to the book. Both revelations are of God. They are to be intelligently understood, united and harmon ized. Men who decipher the hieroglyphics of God ought to be honored and encouraged, but bigoted theologists, ignorant priests and zealous churchmen rail at these adventurous surveyors of God's handiwork. When men pretend to be inspired of God, with grins and shallow ridicule, with veteran jests and un productive reasoning, enacts teats of the monkey in trying to prove that man did not originate with that animal. We aeem likely to have interval evidence that such was the case. [Laughter.] It is urged that science is unripe, and will not do to rest upon; that there will be a lime to consider it when it be comes a certainty. Well, how is it with the Book? Is its record any more stable than the record of the rocks? Theology seems like a broom with infinite splinters. If the ologians attempt to pour ridicule on legiti mate doctrines, if scientific investigation is less trustworthy than revelation, I say no ground can be less tenable. Borne call evo lution pseudo-science, and laugh at the idea that mao descended or ascended from a mon key. The descent of man from anthropoid apes is only a hypothesis not yet proven. I see no present expectation of its being prov en. It stands as a hypothesis pressed by a multitude of probabilities. It throws light upon many problems in his tory and life, gained in no other way. I in cline not to be belief, but the supposition, that man is in analogy to the rest of God’s work. At what time and by what methods he left behind his fellows and stood on spir itual ground that separates him from brutes is unknown. But it does not change the destiny and moral grandeur of man to hold the evolution of the human from an inferior race. Evolution ia a method of creation, ac cepted by the scientific world and few ven ture to doubt it. Ninety-nine per cent of the scientific men use this theory and do not doubt its validity. FROM WASHINGTON. Jefferson Dens’ Views el the reliUcel Situation nnff Other Matters. Washington. May 30. Dr. A. Y. P. Garnett of this citv recently visited Jefferson Davis, with whom he has had a long and intimate acquaintance. The Star this afternoon publishes an interview with Dr Garnett, in which the views of the ex-Confederate president are given on the political situation and other matters. Dr. Garnett says: “In the course of our con versation, Mr. Davis alluded to the political condition of the country by saying that he knew nothing of the present executive, and that he had not yet progressed far enough with the administration for him to form an opinion of it. He seemed satisfied with the members of the cabinet selected trom the South, but not disposed, I thought, to enter tain a very hopeful view of our future, as he said that the respect, love and veneration for the constitution which animated the citiaens ot the United States before the war had now departed from our people, and that the sys tem of government erected by our forefath ers existed oniv in name; that there were elements of disintegration and disruption at work in our midst, which coaid only be re strained and held in check by force; that underlying and freedom entail the principles upon which our system ot government was erected, and upon which the constitution, as it was before the wsr rested, are fast becom ing absolute, forgotten by old men, and never learned by the young.” Speaking of Commodore Bullock's book which discloses the secret history of confed erate agents in England during the war for procuring ships, the doctor continued “Mr. Davis exhibited much feeling at what he characterized as duplicity and meanness of the English government in its conduct to wards the South, and whilst that government would permit the United States to purchase aud take away as many ships as it desired, there was alwsys some pretext found to pre vent the tailing ot those vessels purchased by any agent or citizen of the Confederacy, although such vessels were entirely un armed." “Did you refer to the report that a peti tion was to be presented to Congress in his behall?” asked the reporter. “1 asked hiui if it was true,” responded the doctor, “that he had authorized any petition to he presented to the Federal authorities to have Ilia disabilities removed, lie replied very emphatically in the negative, and added that lie had written an open letter to the author of that petition calling attention to that fact. He said he had at all times been perfectly willing to undergo a trial of the government, and thought it proper to bring on such an issue, provided lie was to be tried strictly under the provisions of the constitu tion.” The re-organizstion of the hoards of exam ining surgeons of the pension bureau has been practically accomplished in Maine, Massa chusetts, Vermont. Ohio and Indiana, in so far as the changes have been recommended. The changes in New York and Illinois are now being considered, and when completed will be followed by changes in other States. The re-organization consists in giving to each board of surgeons a democratic in place of a regublican majority, all things else being equal. Washington, May 30. Thomas Simmons, assistant attorney gen eral, in charge of government cases before the court of claims, has tendered his resigna tion to the President, to take effect June 1. Hubert Howard of Little Hock, Ark., will succeed him. FOREIGN news ENGLAND AND RUSSIA. The Czar ha* not Agreed to any Treaty Binding Him to Refrain from Further Advance*. London, May 30. All statesmen whose actions generally fur nish the staple political news, except Glad stone are away enjoying the Whitsuntide hol idays and the premier is resting, even from talking. It does iot appear, however, that the Czar has agreed, even provisionally, to any treaty binding him to refrain from fur ther advances. Many eflorts have been made to secure from him such agreement and their failure tends to strengthen the conviction that Russia has simply “dickered in order to gain time,” and that she is determined to continue her progress southward. Mr. Glad stone is suffering from influenza and hoarse ness. The Agricultural Outlook in England— The Wheat Crop Improving. London, May 81. The most encouraging feature of the agri cultural outlook is a favorable change in the weather, which has come at the most oppor tune time, when the warmth of the sunshine will produce the best results, especially as have been preceded by copious rains. The backward condition of the crops and discol oration of the wheat have been a source of complaint,but now it it admitted that no last ing injury have been done and if the present fine weather continues a rapid improvement in the harvest prospects it expected. IN T11E NORTH W ENT. Gen. Strange, with Three Hundred Men, Attacks Big Bear’s Band. Battleford, May 30, l ria Winnipeg, May 31. The steamer Northwest Knrante to Pitt came across James Grant and Charles Ros siter in a canoe sixty miles np riser. They left Pitt Thursday night with despatches for Middleton, a fight between Gen. Strange's forces and Big Bear’s band basing taken place that day. Rostiter states that Big Bear’s location was discosered Wednesday. An adsance was made the following morning but the whole ot Gen. Strange's troops hsd not arrised at Pitt. He could only mnster about 300 men. A march of 10 miles down the riser and three miles inland brought the troops to the Indian camp. The redskins were intrenched just oser the brow of a hill, and in order to reach them Gen. Strange was obliged to cross Marshy Valley. While ad sancing the Indians commenced firing and the troops were extended in skirmishing or der. For three hours and a half a steady fire j was kept up from both sides.

The Farmers' Review publishes a complete survey of the Western and Southern wheat growing States, a* to probable crop*. Har ing received reports Irom over 8000 corre spondent*. covering every wheat producing county in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee. Missouri, Kansas, Ne braska, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Dakota, together with a very accurate aad recent summary from the Pacific coast re gion. made by the associated press, forms, it is believed, one of the most complete re ports ever prepared. The information is be lieved to be the most exhaustive and latest that ha* yet been obtained, and foreshadow* the State and government reports. In summing up it* detailed reports the Re view say*: “The gloomiest views which have been advanced concerning the winter wheat outlook ol 1885, mutt now be accepted as the most accurate, The promising condi tions of 1884 have this season been complete ly reverted. The absolute uniformity of the return* indicate that the outlook for winter sown wheat this year is the most gloomy In ten years, and it may now be set down as certain that under the most favoring condi tions, the total winter and spring wheat yield is to fall considerably under the short crop of 1881, when the total product was 38,000,000 bushels. HALLUWKLL. Memorial Day was generally observed in the usual way The weather was favorable. About 40 member* of the Grand Army par ticipated iu the parade and decorated the grave* in the forenoon acc rdtng to the programme. The members of the city gov ernment accompanied them in carriages. The Hallowell Cornet Band ftirnuhed the music. Fifty-four soldiers' gravea were decorated in our cemetery, besides nine In the cemetery at West Farmingdale two at Manchester and four in Chelsea. The exercises in Citv Hall, in the evening, were of a verv interesting character, the oration by Hon. A. M. Spear, being one of the best that we have had. The chorus of seventy-flve school children under direction of 1’rof Chase ac companied with an orchestra, rendered the following selections in an admirable manner ‘•The Flag that’* Waved a Hundred Years," Our Land Forever, Our Land Forever," ‘‘Our Glorious Land."and "America,"adding a great deal of interest to the exercises. After the exercises at the hall the members of the Grand Army, orator and clergy, bv invitation of the Belief Corps, partook of a supper at G. A. B. Hall. The funeral of Hugh Quinn took place Saturday forenoon, the city council of which he wa* a member attending. Lieut. Geo. 8. Fuller was greatly missed at Memorial services Saturday, being chairman of the committee of arrangements and always taking a leading pan.

§189 §tnntUt formal August* Monday Morning, Jus* 1* Ohio democrats are talking of Judge Thurman as a candidate for senator. B. M. T. Hunter, ex-secretary of State of the confederacy, has been made a col lector of customs in Virginia. The Massachusetts Legislature haa passed a bill appropriating $85,000 for the building ot a Normal,Art School. The fact came out in court the other day that the net profits of the Bell Telephone Company amounted last year to $1,500,000. Fonr colored men were admitted to the South Carolina bar at Colombia last week, including Whittaker, the West Point man. All passed a creditable examination. The appointment of the Copiah County. I Miss., murderer as postmaster, has been revoked. The storm of indignation which I it canned was more than the President could endure. According to the Toronto Globe, the rebellion in the Northwest territory has cost 67 men killed and 119 wounded, be sides several hundred thousand dollars ot expense—all of which might have been averted by some attention to the reason able demands of the half-breeds. This is going to be a great fruit year if the blossoms upon the trees are any in dication to that effect. The trees never presented a finer appearance, and fill the air with fragrance. The peach crop in Delaware and Pennsylvania promises to be one of the largest ever witnessed in that section. The grasshoppers are said to be advanc ing along the south side of the Arkansas river, and Kansas farmers who remember the devastation they wrought in 1872 are very anxious, but the general outlook for crops is not discouraging. Winter wheat isa short crop, but there will be more spring wheat than a year ago. unless some unforeseen calamity prevents. Oats will be very abundant, and corn,although late, will probably meet the requirements of consumers, should the remainder of the season be favorable. It Is strange that some people ot reput ed sense confound religion with the beat ing of drums by the Salvation Army. Re ligion is a matter of conscience and does not exist in drum heads or drum sticks. The founder of the Christian religion did not go about beating drums or blowing horns, or teach his followers to resist the authorities and disturb the peace The question at issue between the authori ties of this city and members ot the Salvation Army is not one of religion, but whether the Salvation Army shall trample upon the ordinances of the city and defy the city officers in their law ful efforts to preserve peace and order within the limits ot their authority. In a question like this it is very evident, as soon as the matter is fairly understood, that the great body ot our citizens will be found i taking the side of the authorities and sustaining them in their efforts to keep the peace. General Grant. The condition of General Grant is a subject upon which the thoughts of many have rested during this memorial season. It occasions deep sadness to know that the great leader of the Union armies in the series of successes on various fields which resulted in the crushing of the re bellion, is enduring a most painful sick ness certain to cause, sooner or later, his death. His countrymen have done all thev could to honor him and make his life pleasant since the rebellion closed, tor it has seemed to them that he deserved everything at their hands which they wore able to do for him. Men may criti cise his acts and differ as to his abilties as a military commander, but none can deny that wherever he led victory followed, and that the success which he won con tinued steadily from the surrender of Donelson to the capture ot Richmond and the laying down of arms by the rebel confederacy If success is a test of ability, General Grant was by far the ablest leader in the late war. From an humble position he became the great organiaerof victory, the invincible leader, the conqueror of a peace so completely and thoroughly won that it is not soon likely to be broken. If the profoundest sympathy of this grateful nation can afford General Grant any solace in his affliction, he has it In full measure. There is no man who has a ■park of patriotism in his breast that does not feel tor the suffering, patient old hero and pray that his life be spared, if it be possible, many years longer. Wonder fully has he been sustained thus far in his terrible sickness, and could health be re stored to him there would be a wave ot joy pass over the nation such as it has not experienced since the downfall of Lee and the collapse of the the rebellion. It Was Remembered. The New York Timet tell* a little “cast thy bread on the water*" atory a* follow*: About a month ago an old New Yorker dropped hi* luggage before the clerk'* d >*k in an Old Point Comfort hotel, and dashed ofl his autograph in a free and easy hand, "John McKesson, New York city.” D*y af ter day passed, and the visitor seemed to be enjoying Virginia with a great deal of test. When he finally made up hit mind to move 1 homeward again he tripped once more to the clerk** desk, this time to ask for hit bill. "McKesson 1 McKesson ejaculated the clerk, "there's no bill here for any Mr. Mc Kesson.’’ "No bill? wliv. what are you talk ing about? Do rouknow how long I've been here, Mr. Clerk?-’ “Yes. sir, I do know,but I have orders front headquarters to take none of your money—not a cent.” Now comes on the scene a genial hotel proprietor to beam upon the astonished old Knickerbocker and grasp him by the hand after an enthusi astic fashion. "You're the same old John McKesson I knew SO years ago.” ejaculated the hotel man. “Don't von remember me, eh Well, let me recall a little incident: Which happened when I .u rtragfling along _ tka world rear* and vwf* bank. na* long*! to ojrdie *hoI«*todfj|i| tri. lu Maiden Lane, and I wa. the drieer of an opreM wagon.

Women who Swim. The New York Sun quotes the proprietor of a fashionable swimming bath in that city as saving -The women are the most delight ful of bathers. The majority of the ladies use their seaside costumes, but quite a num ber of expert swimmers wear the single gar ment-that is. without skirt or tunic, you i know, and with the arms and neck bare. No 1 men are admitted here during the ladies .hours; even the swimming instructors are I women, and so the ladies are perfectly safe from observation I am here occasionally, but then I don’t count, you know. It would 1 surprise you to lee some of our more expert I swimmers We have a dozen voung women wbo take headers from the platform up there, and we have only one man who attempta it. I A 10-foot dive ia not to be sneezed at, you know. Weil, the ladiea ipring from it, head flrat, with the fearlessness and grace of birds. It is usually the case with women that when they make up their minds to do a thing they go for it for ail they are worth. I One of my patron* ia at pretty in the water as she it in a drawing-room. She is a great society woman and her name appears constant ly in the papers. Her face is as delicate as cameo, and she has a soft little mice like a l nun The first time she came here I sup posed she’d be timid, and expected to send an attendant in with her. While I was thinking of it she came pattering down the walk, ran out, gare a big jump on the end of the spring-board, and took a dive that 1 never saw beaten in my life. Then she came up, went hand-over-hand to the rail, and ran up the steps to that platform up there. Over she went like a swallow. She comes here 1 regularly, and she is the queen. There are j crack tennis, croquet and badminton players, expert sailors, runners and dancers, and tlmse who can drive anything in horseflesh, from a mule to a four-in-hand, among the ladies of New York, but when you come to swimming 1 have the champion. She’s as reckless at a dock rat in the water, and as proper as a Quakeress on the land.” State News.

When the Salvation Arrav, after their in- carceration in jail Friday night.found that the walls of that edifice did not fall in answer to their prayers, they quieted down and made but j little noise. In the morning several well i known citizens championed the cause of the heleagured soldiers and in company with Judge Andrews entered the jail office. Thacher being called forth from his cell council of peace was held, the judge and the citizens advising him to obey the laws of the city. He stated that he was acting under orders from his major and was ebliged to obey. Finally a compact was entered into by which the captain agreed not to come out upon the street with the drums or make any disturbance betore Monday or permit his soldiers to. The captain stated that he should go to Lewiston in the after noon and consult the major of the New Eng lsnd division, who was to be there at night. Accordingly lie ahd Happy Johnny, “the man seal" departed on Jewett'a train. The latter was expected to go and not return. The Cadet was bailed out by two prominent citi zens and H. H. Harvey gave bonds for I). P. Bickford. At intervals during the day small squada of the Army were liberated, most of them without bail, until at 8 o’clock 1’. M., tho last man went. All on leaving the jail solemnly promised the judge that they would not beat the drum before Mon day or meet where the drum was used. Quite a number stated that they wished to obey the liws but had not known that Mayor Weeks hid issued sn order, and the captain had not informed them. In the evening the blood washed warriors held a blood and fire meet ing at their barracks. The Cadet led off with much vehemence. The first move was to place a little girl upon the stage to drum, but at the first tap of the drum some half dozen of the soldiers jumped to their feet and went off the stage. They had given their word to tha judge not to beat the drum before Mon day or remain with the Afmy when the drum was in use, they said, and should remain true to their promise. The judge was found, who told them to go ahead and drum and sing •s much as they pleased. This reassured them and they all returned te the stage but one. Finally the drum was taken away and has not been used since. The “jail birds,” as they called themselves, were nearly all pres ent and gloried in the fact that they had been to jsil for their religion, expressing a will ingness to again if necessary. Such testi oonies as the following were heard from dif ferent ones: “Glory Hallelujah! I shouted in they jail and the locked up my body, but eouldn’t shut my mouth. Glory! they have such good accommodations at the jail (iron ■ctlly.) it did one good to go to jail we had such s blessed time. I wouldn’t stay on the ••eg* for $1000 after I had give my promise.

Exceptions were taken to several statements in the Kennebec Jour ®*1- The Cadet said that he was not seized k.T the city marshal, but he seized the mar •1*1. The marshal got much glory and Mrs. Thicher said that when a man poked the Atuty with a stick in the jail,while they were I*e»yiBg, the marshal told him to stop.

MmouA nr mvi (HrUndiag the Gravei of the Patriot Deed Botmu tntlw la SraalU Hall by H«. Knock raster. Saturday our citizens in observance of a beautiful custom which has grown np ainee tbe rebellion, honored tbe memory of tbe patriot dead by garlanding with blossoms tbe mounds which mtrk their last resting places, accompanied by appropriate exercises. It seemed a privilege thua to remember the dead heroes, and the population, almost to a man, dropped for a day the toil of life and honpred the fallen defenders of the flag. Business was quite generally suspended throughout the city, the busy hum of the workshop and factory were hushed, and in the afternoon stores snd offices were closed. Flags were quite generally displayed at half, mast. The day was unusually favorable for the exercises. In the forenoon the tempera ture was rather warm but after noon a re freshing breeze swept away a smoky haze which had lingered in the atmosphere and the heavens became ove.-cast. The landscape was in its brightest and most becoming dress, these warm spring days having robed the face of earth in a wealth of emerald foliage. The exercises of tbe day were conducted under the auspices of Seth Williams’ Post O. A. R. At 2 o’clock P. M., the procession formed on Water street between the post office and Cony House, in the following or der ORDER OF PROCESSION. Geo. A. Russell, Marshal. H. F. Blanchard, Chief of Staff; Geo. E.

Pleasant and St. Mary’s cemeteries. The comrades of the post in in line numbered sixty-seven, W. A. Swan, commander, and each wore a tasty button-hole bouquet, and many carried some floral offering to the graves. Sixteen members of Harry Stinson Camp, S. of V., marched. The Capital Guards, forty men, Capt. W. S. Choate in command, made a very soldierly appearance. Prayer was offered by Rev. H J. White, following which the members of the post de posited their chaplets of flowers upon the soldiers’ graves. "There Honor comes, a pilgrim gray. To deck the turf that wraps their clay. And Freedom shall awh le repair To dwell, a weeping hermit, there.” The procession then re-formed and marched to Monument Park where fitting decoration exercises w.-r- hel I at the Soldiers’ Monu ment. This was n rv handsomely adorned. The statue which surmounts the shaft, was crow ned with a rich floral wreath and wound in bunting. Long and heavy wreathes of cedar depended from the cap of the column, while the die was nearly hidden beneath folds of bunting grace fully caught up with rosettes and bouquets of the most brilliant flowers. On the base next Grove street was the inscription in ce dar: “Mtmoria in aeterna," “In everlast ing remembrance.” From the mon ument the procession marched direct ly to Water Street, where it was disbanded. In the evening Memorial exercises were held in Granite Hall, commencing at 7.30 o’clock. Hon. Geo. E. Weeks, mayor, presid ing. The hall was well filled, the comrades of the Grand Army occupying a position im mediately in front of the stage Pullen's Band furnished music. Rev. P. S. Thacher offered prayer and Rev. Mr. Sargent pronounced the benedic tion. The oration was one of the most elo i quent and finished ever heard here, it being delivered by Hon. Euoch Foster of Bethel, occupying about an hour. The closest atten tion was given by the audience. Following is an abstract: lion. Enoch Foster’s Address. Upon the evergreen and blossom* we one year ago laid upon the grave* of our com rades have fallen the heat of summer, and the 1 snows of winter, and their beauty and their perfume ha* gone forever; but the story of i valor and devotion is to day as fresh in our memories, and as fragrant to our hearts, as when, for the first time, we brought to be deck these shrines the early offerings of an opening spring. And, while, with the pass ing months, ourselves grow old, and the faces of our martyrs fade from our remembrance, the recorc of their services grows more and more bright with the fleeting years. The tale of love thrills the heart and tinges the cheek of the maiden to day as when first breathed in the Garden of Eden, or upon the plains of Judea; and time itself can in no degree diminish our appreciation of thatpatri i otisra which gave to the republic its strong defender, when the national life was Mailed. And to-davin all our broad land—from our forests, where the wild wind chants the nation’s eulogv, to the Pacific slope, upon whose golden sands the mighty ocean answers with majestic cadence; from the Great Lakes even to the orange groves of the Sunny South —not alone old comrades in arms, not alone the men of the nation, in whose isteadI these have fallen, but as here to-night, the wives, I sisters, mothers, all join with u. in the solemn r°io*^al{ age* thereihave been special honor, paid to fallen heroes and soldiers, and es pecially fitting is it that we shouldI pan* for Sfs-srpf zssrzmm silent mound*.

The gratitude of the nation remains unchanged. Others will, in future, perform the sacred duties we have observed to-day, and as time bears ns and posterity farther and farther from the great events of the civil war, we may hope to see reared fitting monuments in every hamlet in the land, inscribed with the name* of those who by their valor and hom age, as in the days of the Roman republic, have deserved well of their fellow mea. li alike most of the war* in the world’s history, ours was do contest for ambidop, fame or conquest. Through the revolution a nation was born; by the war against rebellion, it was saved. Let us ask ourselves anew at this time What was it all for What did the war accomplish For what did our broth ers die They died to give the nation peace. The soldiers won for us a Union. That this is still a nation.—that it is anything but an accidental alliance of a few jealous and war ring States, we owe to them. The picture which rises so grandly before the American eve in foreign countries, of a continent which is a home of liberty and receives the poor and the hnmble from all nations of the earth, giving to them shelter,protection and employ ment, and to their children education, that belonged to the work achieved by those who followed the stars and stripes by land and sea. But for them, each one of us might still have a State, but not one of us would have a Nation; every American born would be a man without a country. The soldiers won for this nation liberty. I remember reading the speech of Phillipp*. wherein he said of Garrison, ‘"May he not die till he has heard the shouts of the libera ted millions he has helped to free.” It sound ed eloquent, but incredible; it wa* as if a man invited you to visit him a hundred years from today. But Garrison has died, full of years and of honors; and his last words were a plea, not for slaves but for freemen; not for negroes as slaves in Mississippi, but as free emigrants into Kansas. That every American may now go where he pleaaes and work as he pleases, you owe to the soldiers who fought beneath their country’s flag. The soldiers gave to the nation, prosperity. We have mourned our long business depression, but it resulted because it had taken all these years to recall us from the period of inflation in which the war left us. Business may be good or bad, the returned soldiers may have been successful or unsuccessful, but the most successful business man in the country owe* it to the soldiers that there is any such thing as business at all. Let the time never come, comrades of the war, and citizens of of Augusta, when we shall cease to laurel our soldiers’ graves. Let it not come, at least, till all of us who camped side by side in life shall camp side by side in death. The circumstances that led to ibis mighty conflict of arms has been the theme most dwelt upon by orators, on occasions of this kind, since the close of the war. It is not my purpose to-night to reiterate what has so often been said upon this subject. Suffice it here to say, that from the very foundation of the American government there had been a conflict of opinion regarding the rights of the States which composed the Union. One party, fearing the evils which spring from the weakness of the governing power, sought protection from these evils in the close union of States under a strong government. An other party impressed by the unhappy condi tion of the over-governed nations of the Old World, feared the creation of a government which might grow into a despotism. The aim of the one was to vest the largest possi ble measure of power in a central govern ment; the aim of the other was to limit the powers accorded to the central government, and give the widest possible scope to the sov ereignty of the individual States. These two sets of opinions continued to exist, and to conflict irreconcilably. In the North the be lief prevailed that America was a nation, formed by the voluntary junction of States, and made indissoluble by their agreement that it should be so In the South, on the other hand, it was maintained that each indi vidual State retained her sovereign right to withdraw, at pleasure, from the Union. Be lieving thus in their right, and the fact that the South saw that the rapid development of wealth and population in the North would soon take from the former section its com manding influence in the councils of the nation, and holding that the Northern antip athy to slavery created a sufficient occasion for its exercise, the slave-owners entered promptly on the dark and hloody path of secession. The war came. Irrespective of party affiliations, the people responded till 2,600,000 men had been summoned to defend the flag. Of these 50,000 fell on the field of battle, 200,000 of wounds and disease. To night they constitute that vast army of heroic spirits in whose presence we stand, and whose memories we cherish with reverent and ten der devotion. The historian may record the struggle, but there is an unwritten history his art m ty never trace; the struggle between love and duty that called the soldier to the con flict; the weary years of watching for those who never would return the sufferings in camp and in hospital; this can never be writ ten by human hand, nor told by human tongue. And yet the courage and patriotism of these noble men never faltered—neither could they learn how to yield; and when we consider their wonderful achievements by land and sea—when we remember how a nary was created, an army mastered, armed, clothed and fed, an empty treasury replenish ed—and the envy and rapacity of foreign na tions held in check—who can withold their gratitude and admiration, not only for the soldiers who fought upon the field, but for the statesmen who guided the affairs of the nation, and the loyal men and wemen at home who contributed their treasure and en couragement for a cause that was destined to go down in history as the mightiest achieve ment since the downfall of the Roman Em pire! This vast expenditure of life and treasure was not in vain. We, who survive to-day, witness the glorious results of the peace sealed at Appomatox It prevented our disruption into petty States; it preserved, by maintaing the country’s unity, the advant age, over foreign governments, of a nation intrenched between too great oceans, with no hostile power on the continent strong enough to compete with it in the arts of war. The grandeur and influence of a people, so cir cumstanced, able to stand unarmed before the nations of the earth, and command their deference and respect, must be apparent at a glance. In the light of high heaven—meas ured by the standard of eternal right and jus tice—by the divine necessity of baptismal war —one result stands transcendent!/ high, and leaves the national escutcheon untarnished before the nations of the world. The one blemish upon the fsir face of our republic— distrustfully recognized by the framers of the government, had grown into a mighty cancer, its repulsive characteristics only seared upon the surface by the compromises to which the people had submitted, in the vain hope of staying its growth and crippling its strength, until only the terrible flash of the sword, mid pain and blood, could rid us of its presence. No result ot the war was more grand than this.and we rejoice not only in the maintenance of national honor and unity, but that the one great stain upon our national escutcheon has been obliterated by the enfranchisement forever of that race, whose dark faces, during ail our struggle, covered no traitor hearts; whose long stifled aspiration for freedom, and in stinctive perception of the underlying nature of our conflict, made them unwaveringly our scouts in the field, our benefactors in the prison, our shelter and our guides In the es cape,—and whose blood, poured out in the historic assaults at Fort Wagner,before Rich mond, and at Port Hudson, sealed forever, as by an irrevocable and divine decree, their right to the manhood of freemen. How mo mentous, then, are the duties devolving upon this and succeeding generations in our own land for the preservation of these institutions transmitted to our keeping. When the war was over, the North resumed,with quickened the taak of industrial dtveloptmeat. Its growth waa now snore rapid than it had at an previous period of its history. The population of our country, which in I860» was 32 millions, increased to 38 mil lions in 1870, and ia 1880 it had gone ap to 50 millions, sad to-darU ia 56 millions. The United State, has now a more numerous population than any European nation, excepting Russia,— and ia growing with vastly greater rapidity. From free England and despotic Russia; from the snoahine of Itaiy to the eternal win ters of Iceland, men of all ranks and nations crowd to her hospitable shores. During the ten years ending in 1870 she received four and a half million strangers, and during the last decade this number bad more than doubled, who came to make for themselves homes upon her soil. A large proportion of these have sought the rich valley of the Mis sissippi, an the broad and boundless prairies of the West, and the young States have double and trebled tbeir population within the ten years. The cities by which the agri cultural products of the West pass eastward to the markets of the world have increased with unparalled rapiditv. St. Louis rose from 160 000 to 340,000her great rival, Chi cago. from 109,000 to 503,000. That this progress must long continue is to be antici pated from the fact that as yet scarcely more than one-fifth of the soil of the United States is under cultivation. It is within the range of possibility that the children of those now living may see our people number 200,000,000, with the capacity of the country, for their support, not then exhausted. Time forbids my speaking of the remarkable increase of our wealth and developement of resources,—our manufac tures sad inventions.with which we are able to compete with the cheaper labor of other countries. As the country grows the national resources will increase,—the national bur dens grow lighter. Who then can portray the possibilities open to our national prosper ity, or measure its influence on the destinies of other nations? In the face of this national progress and greatness how poor and unsub stantial seem personal ambitions and partizan triumphs. Meu die and are forgotten—par ties rise to power and batten to decay. The best and most useful of us will soon be for gotten. Those who to-day are filling a large place in the world’s regard will past away from the remembrance of man iu a few months, or at farthest, a few years after the grave haa closed upon their remains. We are shedding tears above a new made grave, and wildly crying nut in our grief that our losa ia irreparable, yet, in a short time the tendrills of love have intertwined around other supports, and we seem no longer to miss the one that has gone. So passes the world. But there are those to whom a loss is beyond repair There are men from whose memories no woman’s smile—nor childhoods tiny hand—can chaae recollection of the sweet face that haa given up all its beauty at deaths’ icy touch. There are women whose unfaltering faith extends beyond the grave, and drives away, aa profane, those who en tice them from a worship of their loss. Such loyalitv, however, is hidden away from the puplic gaze. The world sweeps on beside and around them, and cares not to look in upon this unobtruding grief. It carves a line and rears a stone over the dead, and hastens away to offer homage to the living. “How instantly the air will close on this arrowy path,” once Rufus Choate exclaimed, alluding to hia own professional career, bril liant aa it waa. “Some memorial I would leave yet. rescued from the grave of a mere proieasional man, some-wise, or beautiful or interesting page, some noble or heroic deed." The sumptuous cities which have lighted the world siuce the begining of time are now beheld only in the pictures of the historian or the poet. “The laurel ihoots when those hare passed away, Once rivals tor Its crown, the brave, the dree; The rose Is flourishing o'er beauty's clay; The myrtle blows when love has ceased to be; Green waves the bay where song and bard have fled, Aud all that round us blooms is blooming o’er the dead.” It remains for ua to practice those virtues, and promote those institutions which will best preserve the nation to future ages;—these are the education of ail classes, the presence and practice of some form of religious faith, the recognition and protection of the equality of every citizen before the law,—the securing a full and fair expresaion oi the will of the people,—every act that tends to remove prejudice and restore harmo ny,—every influence leading to a deeper love for the flag. Could our dead Comrades speak they would implore us to subordinate the strife of party,—the demands of personal am bition. to the higher and holier cause of na tional unity for which they sacrificed life itself. They would teach us that purity in the administration of public affairs is neces sary to the preservation of public interests, and that the general corruption and venality in a republic are the sure precursors to its destruction. They have left ua their deathless example for our admiring emulation. They hare left us the flag which we who remain have followed by land and sea. thousands cf weary railea, hallowed by the memory of their heroic deeds,—the symbol of an undi vided nation. May we never prove recreant to the trust. Let us turn our faces to the future with the firm resolve that no action of ours shall tarnish the glorious record of the past. The spirit of the nation is at the highest. Unitv, liberty, power, prosperity, these are our possessions to-dsy. The na tion's triumph over the inborn, inbred peril* of the constitution has chased away all fears,— justified all hopes, and with universal joy.even in tbia hour ot sadness, let us greet this fact. We have not proved unworthy of a great an cestry we have had the virtue and valor to up hold what they so wisely, so firmly established. With these proud possessons of the past, with powers matured, with principles settled, with habits formed, the nation passes, as it were, from preparatory growth to responsible development of character, and the steady per formance of dutv. What labors await it, what trials shall attend it, what triumphs for human nature, what glory for itself, are pre pared for this people in the far-off future, we may not here assume to foretell. In the great procession of nations, in the great march of humanity, we hold our place. Peace is our duty, peace i* our policy. In its arts, its labors and its victories, we find scope for all our energies, rewards for all our ambitions, renown enough fur ail our love and fame. Time makes no pauses in his march. It it with the future that nur destiny lies. And with ail our learn ing, literature, acience, art, with which we are surrounded in the present, with all our rever ence for the past, let ns remember that onr activities and responsibilities lie in the fu ture. Let us, then, teach onr children how sacred and holy is the inheritance which they are to maintain. Then ahali the republic endure with no danger to threaten its peace or cloud its latter. And as the genius of his tory shall record the peaceful triumph* of the nation, preserved by the valor of these men whose deeds we commemorate to-day, and succeeding generations shall witneaa this migbtv republic powerful in its union and gloriona in its pnrpoaes of justice and human ity, holding its honored way among the em pires of the earth, above their honored dnst, in letters of living gold ahali be inscribed the words of Rome’s immortal bard, "They have bnllded a monument more luting then And more sublime than the regal elevation of pyramids. Which the wuttng rain, the unavailing north wind. Or an innumerable sneeesslon ol years, And the flight of seasons shall not be able to des troy.’’ _ The city board of health met last week.

Mass. octPd&wly rocky shores to guide them to the hunting grounds. From the time the seals begin to congregate at the breeding places until Au gust there is constant, and often deadly war fare waged between the pugnacious heads of sleek-skinned harems, and the bellowings of these jealous seals may be heard far out to sea above the roar of the surf. Not less than 3,000.000 seals congregate on these isolated rocks, and the chorus of voices it is possible for them to raise may be imagined. To see the seals literally packed on these islands is a sight never to be foi gotten. The whole surface of the rocks seems to be a wriggling, writhing, contorting mass. A three year-old seal has the choicest fur. Nothing younger than a two-vear old, nor i older than a 4 year-old is killed. The hun-1 ters start out before dawn, while the seals are asleep along the shores. Taking positions between them and the sea, they cut off their escape. Then the surprised animals are driven inland, as drovers might drive flocks of sheep They are permitted to take their own time, and when they reach the killing ground the hunters go around and knock each one, or the ones that are marketable, on the head with a heavy club. The skins are re-1 moved from the carcases at once and taken to the salting houses, where they are covered with salt and piled up. They remain in cure for three or four weeks, when they are count ed by the Government agent and taken to San Francisco, where the United States Col lector recounts them and collects the tax. At San Francisco they are packed in tight bands and sent directly to London for the dressing which no one in this country has yet learned to give them. This Alaska seal fishery has added not less than $20,000,000 a year’to the trade of the world by the time the completed garments adorn the forms of those who are so fortunate as to be able to possess them. Women Who Won’t Marry. A Pittsburg woman, iu the Despatch of that city, bluntly and somewhat audaciously says: Men marry the rattle-brains of society. They choose the pretty, good-for-nothing girls, for that is the kind they like; they run after and marry the liveliest girl at a picnic or a ball, though she may be a “holy terror" at home; they rusn after the belle and the heiress, though she may be selfish, spoiled and silly they pass by the jewels and take “the snide," for that is all they know, and then, like Adam, they blame the fruits of their own folly on the woman. ’Twas ever thus. But brethren—we wish to break it to you gently—there are women right here at home, who have their own money to spend as they please; who have their own pleasant homes and congenial occupations; who can, if the fancy seizes them pack their trunks and take a jaunt to New Orleans, slip ofi to Washing ton for a few weeks, take in the cream of New York, or the balmy airs of Florids; in j short, have a royal time in any wav they choose, who call no man master, slid who wouldn’t marry the best man that ever stepped in shoe leather.” This will be a shock to you, beloved breth ren. but it is none the less true. Women find pleasure and comfort and happiness out side of matrimony. It ia not flattering to mea. but there is a growing diiinclinatien to marrage among women. They are growing more critical as to the measure of a man. He will have to come up to a noble, higher standard, or. in the poetical parlance of the day. he will get “left.” TO IR/ElsTT.

Having 1 a scrofulous tendency from my youth, the small par ticles of copper and bra-s would get into the sores, and bv .his process the poison was conveyed into my blood till ray whole system became infected. I was treated with the old remedies of mercury and iodid> potassium. Salivation followed, my teeth are all i loose in my head, my digestive organs deranged, and 1 have been helpless in bed for over a year with mer curial rheumatism. My joints were all swollen, and I lost the lse of my arms and legs, and became help less as an infant. \ly sufferings became so intense that it was impos sible for me to rest. The doctors advised me to go to the city hospital for treatment. Thi I could not bear. A friend, who has proved a friend indeed, urged me to try Swift’s specific, believing it would cure me. Others discouraged me, bnt I secured a few bo ties, and have i ow taken two dozen bottles. The first effect of the medicine was to bring the poi son to the surface, and I broke out all over in run ning sores. They soon disappeared, and my skin cleared off. My knees, which had become twice their natural size, have resumed their u ual size, and are supple as of yore. My arms and hands are all right again, and can use them without pain. The entire disease has left all parts of the body save two ulcers on my wrists, which are healing rapidly. I am weak form long con fin meat,but I have the use of all my limbs. This medicine is bringing mo out of the greatest trial of my life, and I cznnot find words suf ficient to express mv appreciation of its virtues, and the gratitude I feel that I ever heard of it.
