HINDOO CLEANLINESS.

During q seven years residence
in India, l never knew of water
beiH e drawn from ponds or pools
for cooking or drinking purposes.
While on journeys, be they never
so long, or the heat never so great,
the natives will not drink except
they can obtain water from good
wells or running streams, and in
their own dishes, which they al
ways carry with them. AS for
foul smells, we had far rather take
our chances for pure air in any
city or town of India than in
two-thifds of the wards of any
city in America where the popula-
ton exceeds fifteen thousand in
habitants. 41-A
The crows, vultures, pariah dogs,
jackals, and the periodical rains
which come in torrents and wash
away every remnant of filth, are a
more effective board of health than
any we know of in this enlighten-
ed country. There are no out
houses there to send out night and
day the horrid effluvia which taints
the air of all our towns and cities.
There is caste of people called
mehtdrS, whose inherited occupa-
ton it is to do the sweeping and
to remove the filth from the houses
and the streets, and who are paid
by the families or by the village or
city authorities. All filth is in
stantly removed by them to some
out-of- the-way place, and at the
proper time it is taken for en-
riching the fields or for burning
brick. :
The immense waste and decom-
position of animal and vegetable
matter, caused by the prodigality
of the American people, is entire
" unknown in India. Carefulness
and strict economy of food are
absolutely necessary. That there
are stagnant pools and uncleanli-
ness is not to be denied, but COM
paratively India has greatly the
advantage of America.
In personal cleanliness the peo-
pie of the plains of India are in
comparably in advance of Ameri-
cans or Europeans. The Able
Dubois, who spent eighteen years
of research and inquiry among
the Hindoos, s'as one of them,
conforming exactly in all things to
their manners, to their style OF
living and clothing, and even to
most of their prejudices," saws:
SIN their conduct and the whole
intercourse of life, the Bramins
have nothing so much at heart as
cleanliness" and goes on to recite
q great number of circumstances
which render it necessary for a
Bramin to battle. They always
battle before preparing or eating
food. All good Bramins battle
once a day, fastidiouss ones three
times. Other castles, though moi

Decoration Day.

The 30th of May was made memora-
BILE here by tho decoration ceremonies.
Extensive preparations had been made
by members of General Mower Post,
No. IL, Grand Army Of the Republic,
and at 2 o'clock the procession was
formed on the public square under the
direction of Chief Marshal Il. p. Van
Valkcnburgh, and Assistant "A. Hig-
gins.
The column was fully quarter Of a
nile in length, and with the Albert Lea
Cornet Band at the head, followed by a
band of martial music improvised for
the occasion, moved through the prin-
cipal streets of the village and thence
to the Cemetery, keeping step to the
cnlivening strains.
The Post have a fine lot in the burial
ground upon which is erected All ele'
giant monument, and around it stand
u number of crosses representing the
graves of the absent dead. Around
the monument, and within the crosses,
were arranged a band Of young girls
numbering about forty, each being
robed in white and wearing labeled
sash to represent some military organi-
ton.
The services were opened by prayer.
Rev. W. W. Eastman, officiating; q
brief address by Rev J. T. Graves, sue
coded; the "Roll of Honor" with
appropriate explanations and remarks
was read by Rev. H. I. Parker; then
followed the ceremony Of decorating
the graves, the monument, and the
crosses, which was very interesting and
impressive. This completed Mr..
A. A. Harwood being called upon re-
sponded in an address of twenty min
utes, and after the bencdiction by MIR.
Eastman, tho. column reformed,
marched to the village and dispersed.
OF those participating in the eeremc-
Mesa large portion were from the coun'
try.
The Marshal and his Aid, deserve
great credit for the efficiency with
which they discharged theft duties
There was no manifestation inconsistent
with the services of even Sabbath
day. The Floral Committee, consist
ing entirely Of ladies, did its work i'd
mirably. Indeed, their efforts have
elected praise from all sources. The
occasion, although in one sense n'elan-
choly, was deeply intesesting and im-
pressive, and will serve the purpose Of
keeping aglow the fire of patriotism.
General Mower Post has every reason
to feel grati6ed with the result of their
efforts to celebrate this important Ami
yersarV.

HORRIBLE MURDER!
A Father Kills his Son +!

On Sunday morning, at about 6
o'clock, the dead body of a Norwegian
named Andrew Olson Bang, was found
in the rear of Sheriff Mollison's stable.
DR.. r. A. Barnes, the Coroner, at once
summoned jury, aad notified County
Attorney Wheeler. and proceeded to
to hold an inquest upon the remains.
A deep incisive wound was dis
covered on the front Of the left
side of the body and little below the
heart. The cut was about half an inch
in width and reached depth Of four or
five inches, involving an injury to both
the heart and liver.
The deceased and his father had been
in town all the afternoon Of Saturday,
and had attracted some attention on
account Of their intoxicated condition.
Late in the evening they purchased a
quantity Of alcohol and started out as
was supposed for home. n guest at the
Mansfield House said that sometime
before midnight he heard disturbance,
and recognized voice saying, "You
wouldn't kill your son would YOU" and
a reply, eyes, III kill you;" also, calls
for Police" but supposiog it was moth
ing but drunken row, which would
end without injury to any one, he took
no notice of it. Mr.. Kunath, of the
Austin Hotel, testified that he heard
voices near Mollison's stable, and upon
looking out, saw two men engaged in a
quarrel; and he noticed that one of
them fell over, and that the other
left him and approached the hotel,
passing near ana going beyond it out
Of sight. The old man was found in a
little grove, not far from where the
body Of deceased was discovered He
was in a state Of intoxicatien, and
seemed to know but little of what had
tran spired. Upon being taken into
custody, he said that he tried to have
his son 60 home with him, but he re-
fused, and struck him in the face. AL
so that he had more difficulty with his
son, but did not know that he had kill.
cd him; that he had a knife, but had
lost it, the sheath in which to carry it
was found in his pocket. Search be-
ing made the knife was found. It is
some three inches long, and little
more than half an inch wide, and was
recognized by the old man as his.
The jury returned u verdict to the
effect that deceased came to his death
by reason of wound inflicted on his
person by knife in the hands of his
father.
i A post mortcns discovered the fact
that tho knife penetrated the liver, and,
through some unnatural juxtaposition
Of the organs, entered tho heart, and
} probably produced instant death.
Deceased was twenty-five years old,
; married and had ono child and was living
with his father upon the farm of G.
Schlcuder, about four miles from this
village. 1t is stated that unpleasant
feelings have, for some time existed
between the father and his son, but
upon this point VIC have no positive
