COMMUNICATED
Rev. s. P. Kelly justified,

EDITOR SENTINEL: Having noticed
in the columns of your paper this
morning the rather harsh criticism
by 81. M. c." of the course taken by
Rev. s. p. Kelly, OF st. James Episco-
pal Church, in reference to the cere-
monies of the 3Oth of May, commonly
called Decoration Day,"I take the
liberty of expressing my views upon
the subject, Knowing them to be
shared by Il majority of those who
O the blue during the late war.
The custom of decorating with flowers,
once II year, the graves Of those who
shed their blood to prevent the dis
memberment of Il country, was in
stituted by the Grand Army of the
Republic, and wherever there is a
post of that organization. the cere-
monies are conducted under it's aus
pieces. The question of the prOpriety
of hOnoring alike the memory of
those who died on either side during
the late struggle, was this Spring sub
united to the decision of the Grand
Army, and the result vas that such a
course was condemned as taking from
the ceremony all significance what
ever. If all who have died i'm de-
tense of an idea, whether that idea
was right or wrong, are to be treated
alike. why not decorate the last rest
ing place Of each one of our cOuntry's
enemies who has fallen at the hands
of the boys i'm blue?"
The Indians thought their cause
Just, so did the British and the Next
cans. John Brown and his followers
were doubtless actuated by the best
of motives. The Mormons wrre only
a misguided people when their hostile
demonstrations made il necessary to
send United States troops to- Utah to
hold them in subsection but L be-
lieve it Is not the custom to honor
especially any of those l have named.
The observance of Decoration Day
had better be discontinued entirely if
the floral offerings are to be bestowed
prOmiscuOusly, and if other places
we're to follow the iliustriouS example
of Eureka, the custom would Don be
brought into ~disrepute. The writer
does not harbor the least feeling OF
animoSity towards those who marched
under the stars and bars )" the grass
is green over the graves of my near
kindred who fell fighting for that
flag. as we'll as for the one which yes
terday tlOated from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. But let us be consistent
at any rate, and no one, | presume,
will say that each cause was equally
entitled to honor.
Hoping you will give the above an
insertion, l remain yours, etc,

WAITING FOR THE NERDICT.-Main
street was alive with an anxious
throng nearly the whole Of last night
waiting for the verdict in the great
mining case. There was considerable
betting, generally even up, that a
majority of the jury would go for Il
certain side. We heard of no bets on
Il verdict for either party. All kinds of
anon we're tlOat as to how the jury
stood. Some said the first ballot re-
suited in eight for tie Consolidated to
four for the Richmond. others that it
stood seven for the Consolidated to
five for the Richmond, and still others
that they stood six and six. The most
generally accepted impression seemed
to be that the Jury would fail tOagree.
Jim FoulkS, the colOred juror, it vas
asserted 10y some of the outsiders, was
elected foreman. At 1 o'clock this
morning we strolled up towards the
Courthouse, and were told that part
of the jurymen, having tired of dis
cuSsing the merits of the question.
were engaged in little game of draw.

Head Lettuce.

A CORRESPONDENT Of the Massachusetts
PLoughnsan gives the following account of
his treatment of lettuce plants, to make
them head:
/ arrived in the country the 18th of
June, and the first complaints were "We
shall have no head lettuce; as usual it
will all run to seed" The plants looked
fine and healthy, but already indicated the
running up symptoms. 1 thinned it out,
then carefully slipped cotton twine un-
der the lowest leaves of each plant, and
gently raised them few inches from the
ground, and tied them loosely; then /
placed shingle upon eacn plant, and a
small stone to keep 1t firm. Every eve
ming l removed the coverings, watered
each head and replaced the protective
covers in the morning, as l found the
suns rays had tendency to cause the
lettuce to run up to seed, and removing
the covering at night allowed it a suffic-
iency Of fresh air, so that neither mould
nor decay made their appearance. Twas
rewarded by large solid heads of superior
quality, and the hearts were white and
crisp. Not single plant filled of head
ing and none decayed or bore seed.
