Bowen on divers occasions. The reason
the custodian of these documents gives for
giving them to the public, is, in his own
words. 1.-THE fact that Mr. Bowen has of late
repeatedly declared that he had never dis
avowed his charges against Mr.. Beecher,
but that he yet insisted on their truth. =
He adds:
And now the public can understand the
brave silence which the great preacher has
kept under this protracted storm of SANDER.
He had covenanted to bury the past, and TO
maintain peace and brotherhood. The
violation of that agreement by Henry {.
Bowen unseals my mouth. if it does not
open the lips of the pastor of Plymouth
Church. SUFFOLK.

Lieutenant Governor Joseph Howe Of
Nova Scotia, whose death at Halifax, on
Sunday. is announced, has long been one
of the leading public men of his province.
and was doubtless the most brilliant polti-
clan in Nova Scotia perhaps in Canada. lie
served an apprenticeship to the printing
business and became editor and publisher
when a young man. lie opposed the alb
sorption of his province in the Dominion Of
Canada until certain guarantees were Sc
cured, and after the union in 1868, he was
honored with the position Of Secretary Of
State in the Dominion government. Three
weeks ago he succeeded Gen. Hastings
Doyle As Lieutenant Governor Of his na-
tive province His life has been remark
ably busy and eventful. From early man
hood to his latest days he was actively
engaged in political work, forwhieh he had
excellent capacity, as his success shows. To
him more than to any other public man, is
due whatever credit attaches to the system
of responsible government in the British
colonies.

After benediction by Rev Mr.. Graham
the procession marched back to the square,
and passed up into Union Hall where an
abundant collation. had been provided by
members Of Post Stannard This new
feature of the occasion proved a most &C.
eeptable one, the marching and clear air
having given to all appetites which secured
full justice to the sandwiches and coffee.
The Band gave 4 parting piece of their fine
music in the Hall, and the parade was de-
clared dismissed.
The flowers were abundant, in spite of
the lateness Of the season and were arranged
in wreaths, crosses and bouquets, which
showed the taste and skill Of fair hands.
Everything passed off with good order
and propriety. The crowd of spectators
along the lines of march, and the audiences,
at Locust Street Cemetery, SEEM
ed greater than ever before and in fact com
prised almost our entire community, and
there need be no fear that the day will lose its
interest, as long as it can have such fitting

Soldiers and Fcliop Cifiseas What
means this ceremony? Why do we make
annual pilgrimage to these graves, and with
the solemnity Of prayer and song and
speech, lay upon them offerings of flowers?
Is it mere bit of holiday romance? Has
a stray CLEAN Of Southern sentiment touch
ed our cold northern fancies? Or is there
a deep meaning in the observance, some pro-
found feeling which the floral offering can
only symbolic, which speech cannot half
express, which song and prayer are not too
sacred to interpret? Let each heart answer
these questions for itself. | know that
speak for many, for the great majority Of
M fellow citizens, when ! avow that we
come here to-day, that we come
here from year to year, because this
simple ceremony enables US to acknowledge,
and in some sort pay, a debt which we can
never hope to discharge. If it seems to any
that this is but a trivial mode even of ac-
knowledging 1.-THE debt immense of endless
gratitude, which we owe to the memory of
the dead who laid down their lives and to
the living who offered theirs for the saliva
ton of our common country, so trivial as to
be almost mockery, let that serve to ex-
plain why every man and woman in this
region who lived through the war, and who
could have reached this spot with but an
apple-blossom or a butter-cup, is not here
with us to-day. Think not, soldiers, do
not wrong the absentones by thinking, that
only we who are taking part in this observ-
ance by our bodily presence, remember our
Indebtedness to you and to your brave COM
rades whose graves we have been decorating.
1t is not so easy to forget ali the tumult
and agony of feeling through which we
passed, as itseems to me, but yesterday.
