ns1ya Col. E. A. Calkins, formerly &C

nayn Col. E. A. Calkins, formerly con-
nected with the press Of this State, now
of the St. Paul Pioneer, delivered an ora
ton on Decoration Day, Sunday, May 3Oth
at Saltwater, Minnesota, closing as follows:
This is the Sabbath of the Lord. He
loves Justice but he also remembers mer-
cy. Those, our living enemies were as
brave as these our dead defenders. They
fought in wrong cause, but they have
dearly expiated their offense. They are
still our countrymen, for we must hereaf.
ter occupy the same soil, obey the same
laws. look upward to the same flag waving
over us, and live together so long as we
all exist. Every example among mankind
is a warming that disaster and destruction
are the necessary consequences of attempts
to hold under the heel of power, by vim
dictlve laws and hostile oppression, con-
quered people. Make them citizens and
thereby make them friends. Let US, then
efface the record of their errors or their
crime. Let us here, in the presence of
these honored dead, forget the past, for
the sake of the illimitable future, before
us all The fame of their gallantry is as
wide as the world. We may need it,
again armed and equipped, to aid us in the
preservation of the honor of our flag.
We certainly need their aid to develop and
perpetuate our national greatness. They
also, near their lost battle fields-not only
sorrow for the dead, but under the hui
initiation of defeat, oppressed by the bur-
den of a lost cause, and in view Of ravaged
land, depopulated cities and ruined homes,
are decorating their soldiers graves.
Can we not wash out in mingled tears,
and smother in the perfume of flowers
and consign to a sweet.obliyion, all the en-
mites that we have cherished for each
other? The peacernakers are blessed.
This hallowed hour, we consecrate to the
gracious duty and the benediction pronoun-
ced by the Prince of Peace!
There is another nearer and more sacred
duty that we owe. The widows and or.
phans of these dead soldiers are among us.
Every memory of the dead carries our
thoughts to the living whom their death
bereft of natural protection, and the staff
of their daily lives. Every act by which
the hardsip that they bear is lightened,
their rugged pathways smoothed beneath
their feet, and their great Affections soft
ened, is more substantial token of regard
for the dead than if should pile upon
these graves all the roses Of all the Junes
that have shone upon the earth

MONROE. Specimens of gold-bearlng
quartz have been found in stone quarry
in the village. The mine" will be inves-
tigated, and progress reported as it is
made. The Sentinel says of the crops
in Green county: The wheat, rye, oats
and grass look exceedingly well, and are
much more forward than is usually the
case at this season of the year. The hay
crop is already past danger from drouth,
and will be an extraordinary yield. The
corn is somewhat backward, but the warm
weather of the past ten days has given it
new life, and it is now growing rapidly.
Everything that bears fruit is loaded, and
the prospects are now very favorable for
the largest fruit crop that this county has
ever produced. The future looks bright
Let the people take courage, and be thank

nas- Mr.. George j.. Jones has contracted
to build the largest bridge in the town of
Ridgeway, and some say the largest in the
county. The work is progressing finely
and will soon be completed. 1t is across
the West Blue Mounds branch Of the Pee
atonica in the Theobald neighborhood.
The bridge is 65 feet span, with six string
ers, supported in the center by six eight
feet bolts, the two outside stringers being
lOx20 inches. Mr.. Jones is very en-
ergetic man, and we have no doubt he will
finish the bridge in a workmanlike man
ner. Success to you, friend Jones.
