FLOWERS AND FRIENDS.

Thus far we do not remember to have
seen or heard anything said about deco
ration day. Perhaps it is well. Per-
hans it is better to go to the cemetery
without parade, but in frame OF mind
toned down by the occasion, and thus,
without oratory, or music, or display
perform the holy right of the howery
baptism. There will soon be an abund-
ance of flowers, and the children and
the young girls and the young men will
90 a-pic-nicing, and there will be
laughter and the ringing of voices and
the futter Of thousands Of glad hearts.
There will be wreaths arranged with
little fingers, and bouquets constructed
so as to bring into its proper position
every flower, and there will be songs and
sunshine and happiness and wild delight
This will be right, but in the meantime
the dust of the departed, though it can
know no spring and can hear no
note Of JOY aud thrill with no
ecstacy, should not be neglected.
1t was once full Of blood and life
and passion, and was as we are to-
day. Let us not forget that we may be
as 1t is tomorrow. We all have some
one to remember in our little villages Of
the dead. No human being is SO fortu-
nate that he has no dead relative or
friend, or one, the mention of whose
name does not suggest a thousand asso-
Citations, and many times and places
made glad by his or her presence.
Bring flowers" bring flowers fresh from
the pure. unpolluted fingers of spring,
moist with dews in which no poison
turks, and every drop diamond, and
lay them tenderly, lovingly on the little
mounds that mark where life ends and
eternity begins, where the fond heart
lies broken, but can bleed no more. Yes,
spread flowers and drop tear, and
breathe sigh, and turn away solemnly,
sadly, for you cannot know that friends
will not, next year, decorate your graves
in the same manner. fNt

A HOT COUNTRY.

We hardly think that after the climate
of South Australia shall become known
to the world it will attract Immigrants.
1t is stated that the heat was so intense
in January at Adelaide that, with the
exception of two or three hours in the
night the mercury never fell below
eiahty-two degrees, and ranged in the
dav up to one hundred and eight de-
grees in the shade. Business nearly
ceased. The houses got so thoroughly
heated in the day that they had no
chance Of cooling in the night, and
sleeping, with many people, became an
impossibility. Even cool bath was
luxury scarcely attainable, for the tenn
perature of the water-works water rose
to seventy-nine degrees. Toward the
end of the twelve days those who could
afford it fed to the seaside, where they
refreshed themselves in cooler temper

HOW 1T STANDS.

One great fact is settled in advance OF
time. General Grant will be nominated
for reelection by the Philadelphia Con-
vention, provided he shall be living when
it assemblies. The opposition to him
may just as well go to work at once and
regard him as already nominated. he
is the Radical candidate for the Presi-
dency, and will be elected unless the ele-
ments that oppose him can be united
into compact army and put in fighting
trim. Some Of our contemporaries are
not pleased with the conduct of the Lib
eral Republicans in not supporting the
Democrats in Connecticut. Why the truth
is, itisyett to be developed whether there IS
sucA thing among the masses Of the Re-
publicans as the Liberal element, and
whether, if it exist, it possesses strength
sufficient to materially aid the Demo
cracy. AS far as we can know at pres
ent the Liberal movement is confined to
prominent Republicans. How far they
can influence the masses of their party
is question to be tested, and that test
cannot be made until an anti Grant Re
publican is put in the field. We see no
evidence that the Liberals are counting
the Democracy. Certainly they do not
propose combination. They will
not, under any state Of the case,
support Democratic candidate.
They wish to get rid of Grant and his
instruments. That is all. They are
still Republicans. The Democracy have
no claim on them, and certainly will
never be able to bring them to the sup
port Of Democratic candidate. II the
Cincinnati Convention bring out can
didste, then the test of the existence Of
a Liberal Republican element in the
country will be made. This test will
consist in an attempt to organize, systa-
matize, and make it effective for offense
and defense. If however, after the
nomination. the Democracy shall at
tempt to direct the campaign, is there
not a chance that Grant will walk over
the track at his leisure Everything viii
hang on the prudence of the Democracy
The case will stand thus: The Liberals
will not support Democratic candidate
Will the circumstance Of the great body
Of the Democracy rallying to the Gin
cinnati nominee drive the Liberal ele
ment over to Grant, How very delicate
the situation IS

DISGUSTING THE HEArHEE.

1t appears that this country has mis-
sionaries in Japan, and that their con-
duct has disguised the people of that
country. 1t is stated that some time
since a quarrel occurred between two
reverend gentlemen, in the course OF
which one said that the Golden Rule
laid down in the gospel was nothing to
him"-which, considering he had been
preaching that rule to the lheathen, was
a somewhat remarkable declaration. A
resident of Yokohama has recently pub
lisbed letter charging two other mis-
sionaries with beating their wives, and
INDUCING in various shameful debauche-
ries. The writer says that the native
priests are pointing out these disgrace
full things to their followers as the natu-
raj and inevitable results Of Christianity.

CONNECTICUT.

1t is said that the Democrats would
have carried the Legislature of Con-
necticut at the last election but for the
scandalous, unequal representation of
the people in it. In the House there
are 100 Republicans to Ill Democrats.
Every town in the State, big and little,
sends one, and all towns organized be-
fore the year 1900 send two members.
The city OF New Haven, with 10000
people, has no more members than some
of the smallest towns. The largest
cities are generally Democratic, and, il
they had chosen members on the basis
of their population, the Democrats
would have had large majority in the
House. The Republicans know it, and
persist in keeping up the rule Of the
minority over the majority.

A stranger named jackson wandered
into the Adams street station-house last
night and was locked up in dark cell
on suspicion of being dangerous'char-
acter. This morning a reporter, with
book in hand, rushed out to the cells and
commenced regular interview with the
stranger, who failed, however, to answer
a single question. The youthful re-
porter had the door opened and gazed
long and wistfully at the silent prisoner,
but when informed that Jackson could
speak nothing but German, he departed
signing. A German lawyer seeing fee
in the distance, was taken in to inter-
view the prisoner. A volley Of Teutonic
questions had no effect on tie captive.
The lawyer also saw and left. Two
other attorneys met with the same fate
the mysterious felon refusing to answer.
Detective McCune being informed of the,
chap who would not "squeal, insisted
that he could rattle him and make
him divulge the hidden secrets. The
detective looked into the dark cell and
said, jackson, old pard, you may
as well tell it all | have found
the money, and have your pal locked
up. He has 'squealed on you" Jack
son made no answer. Let me take a
look at him." said McCune; I'm have
his photograph taken and put him 10
the rogue's gallery" He looked at the
hairy face of the prisoner, and walked
away without saying a word. Three
magistrates were called in to pump the
prisoner, but they, too, failed, although
the prisoner was addressed in English,
Irish and German by the trio. They,
also, took glance at the mystery so
dumb, but intelligent, and left muttering
something inaudibly. The Recorders
Court clerk was the next victim, and he
fell, after sustaining long colloquy in
French. The prisoner would not ex-
press his ideas on any subject, either in
English, French. German, Irish or ltal-
ian. Even yet are the interviewers
going back to that cell to extract the
secret from the closed lips of the
stranger Who is he2 or what is itH A
young mule that walked into the station
house last night, and was locked up in a
dark cell by the station-house guards,
who have been playing first-class prac-
teal joke on hundreds of our citizens.
As to the name, the mule they say is
properly called jackson, even though he
willfully stands mute and refuses to give
himself name while in his local habl-
tation. The owner Of this young mule
can find his property by applying at the
Adams street station-house.
