BURLINGTON, VT, May 6, 1870
GENERAL ORDER NO. 81
: The Both day of May having been de-
signated as day set apart by the Grand
Army of the Republic, will be observed
by the several Posts of this Department as
a day in which we will once more meet
around the graves of cur fallen comrades,
and while remembering their noble deeds,
bedew their silent resting places with
tears, and beautify them with flowers.
This is the third public observance of
the occasion, which it is trusted will re-
cur yearly while there remains a heart
loyal to the cause in which our comrades
fell, and while the moving principle of
that struggle is worth preserving. Ii
our organization had no other object, that
alone of keeping green the resting-places
of our nations defenders, by this annual
commemorstion, would be motive enough
to hold us together in fraternal bond.
The Department Commander desires to
thank those patriotic men and women
who gave their aid and sympathy On a
former occasion to make successful this
National Memorial day, and they are
cordially invited to unite with the COM
rades of the Grand Army in the approach
ing ceremonies and he thanks the loyal
Press everywhere, through whose gener-
Gus aid lasting record has been made Of
the obseryances one year ago.
1t has been determined not to prescribe
any form of ceremony for universal OBJ
servance, but each Post, or any number of
Posts, may arrange together such fitting
services as circumstances will permit.
The newspaper press are requested to
give publication to this order.
Post Commanders are specially enjoin-
ed to preserve and forward to these Head
quarters a copy of the proceeding lin
printed form so far as POSSIBLE which
take place in carrying out this order.
By order of

Grand Commander.

Mr.. LINCOLN's RELIGIOUS VIEWS are
still under discussion, and Rev. John Ty-
Ter, negro preacher, contributes his mite
to the refutation of Mr. Herndon, by Of
fering evidence picked up in the White
House kitchen. He says: In the year
1865, while a chaplain at the Freedman's
village on Arlington Heights, after the
assassination, and but three weeks before
Mrs. Lincoln left the White House, L
dined with the servants employed at the
house, some of whom had been engaged
in personal attendance upon Mr.. Lincoln.
My object was really to know more about
him, whose memory is still dear to me.
1 asked the servants how Mr.. Lincoln
treated them. was told that frequently
late at night Mr.. Lincoln came down stairs
to teach them to read, and often took such
occasions to draw their thoughts toward
the Savior. He also often prayed with
them. I saw tears fall from the eyes of
those freedmen and women, and am thor
oughly convinced that in the heart of
Abraham Lincoln dwelt the principles of
faith, hope and charity. They also men
toned their belief that he did not wish
to attend the theater, but that Mrs. Lin
coin insisted.

4 BREAKFAST WITH AN INCIPIENT
REBEL.-In 1861, about two weeks be-
fore Mr.. Davis left Washington to join his
fellow traitors of the South, Senator Cam
eron met Mrs. Davis on Pennsylvania
avenue. In reply IN her question why he
did not Come and see JEFF" the Senator
said, Why does not JEFF ask me ?"
" Well, ask you to come and breakfast
with US tomorrow morning" AT what
hour p Nine o'clock" 81 will be
there" at the time mentioned Senator
Cameron made his appearance, and after
breakfast the conversation naturally
turned upon the then attitude of the
South.
Davis was, as usual, out-spoken in his
secession views and threatened that if it
came to the worst and blood had to flow,
war would be waged in the States north
of Mason & Dixen's line.
As may be well supposed, such words
were not pleasing to the Pennsylvania
Senator, and he answered in effect that
the rebellious section would be brought
back into the Union, and he firmly be-
ieved that if the south persisted in its
course not only would the slaves be set
free, but that one day colored man will
occupy your seat, Mr.. Davis, in the
United States Senate
Davis, in great anger, turned to Senator
Cameron and said that the North, not the
South, would suffer from the coming war,
and that he himself would lead party to
burn TO the ground your property, Mr..
Cameron, in Pennsylvania OF this in
cident Mr. Davis appears to be as forget
full rs he has been of his oath. When the
invasion of Pennsylvania was attempted
by the rebel army, one of the Generals
received orders to destroy, if possible, the
property of Simon Cameron and Thaddeus
Stevens. They burnt that of the latter,
and went on their way to destroy Gen.
Cameron's when they turned upon their
tracks. This is a plain, straight story.
Mr.. Cameron fulfilled his prophecy better
than Davis did his threat

BORROWING NEWsPAPERs.-The prac-
tice INDUCED in by not few people in
this place some of whose names we have)
of borrowing the morning paper of their
neighbor lin many instances before the
latter has read it HIMSELF is very repre-
hensible one. An exchange says:
"We know it is hard 10 refuse neigh
Dor or acquaintance the privilege Of read
ing his newspaper, but some borrowers
have little delicacy and sensitiveness, and
prompt, fat refusal to encourage them
in sponging on others for news and inter
esting reading would not hurt them much,
and might induce them to take and pay
for good paper. 1t is unjust to the sub
scriber, and deprives the publisher OF the
reward he is entitled to from all who de-
rive pleasure and instruction from the
paper it costs him SO much money to
issue"

An opportunity was offered to the large

Arriving at the beautiful lot, fitted up
with tasteful and tender care by loving

ed father to his last resting place. This
was one of the most tender and touching
scenes of the day. just as the shadows
of evening were lowering over the earth,
and the Heavens weeping in gentle rain
as if in sympathy with the falling tears of
the bereayed ones, with loving hands
his children performed the last sad rites
of sepulture for an honored father.

made letters of wood, with a hole through
them so that he could string them as child
does beads. He arranged these on strings in
the order of words and sentences. These
strings of words he placed in rows, and bound
them together in frame. Over these letters
he spread some coored oleagcnous substance,
then pressed piece of parchment upon it
with II block When the parchment was re-
moved there were the colored letters stamped
upon it. This was the first printing press.
Comparing this press of Gutenburgs with the
modern steam press, there seems to be little
relationship between them. 1t marks the
civilized worlds advance in four centuries.
Yet the inventor of the printing press was
counted fool, in league with the devil. He

look up to in admiration, are forgotten, Gut

blocks, will be remembered by thankful
world.
Soon metal types were invented in the place
of wooden letters. The first printed book |
think was the Psalter. printed about the year
1857. The first printed books used to cost
hundred pieces of gold. Compare this with
the cost of Boston or New York morning
paper, containing more printed matter than
the printed book that four centuries ago cost
hundred pieces OF gold. If such has been
the progress in printing during the last four
centuries, what may be the accelerating pro-
gress in the four coming? What prophet can
for etcll the result? -*s

sured of assistance in every attempt to re-
sist the laws passed by Congress, and adj.
jured to do all in their power to prevent
the designs Of the government being ac.
complished.
Thus encouraged, all of the southern
people who are enemies of the government
have banded themselves together, and
have, with the aid of the united Democra-
cy, prevented much of the good sought to
be done. They have opposed each recon
struction act. They have opposed erery
act of the government, and have resorted
to the bullet, knife and cord of the assas-
sin to accomplish their purposes. They
have made murder an article of their po-
litical faith, and have organized bands of
assassins who have killed thousands of men
because they were true to their country.
For all these acts the Democratic party is
