The Boston Journal relates the following =
cone Of Boston's well established physicians,
who scarcely finds rest night or day, had occa-
sion recently to engage an office boy to open
and shut the door, run errands, and hold his
horse: The boy was from the country, and ev-
identity possessed an energetic disposition, with
keen eye to business. In order to give infor-
nation to his patients, the doctor recently had
some cards printed bearing his name and sta
ting his office hours. as many callers lost valu-
able time while waiting. These cards disap-
the doctor had his allsDieions aroused. 10,
said the doctor, one morning, what has become
Of those cards which placed on the table in
the outer Officer Cards. SIR repeated the
boy. yes, cards, reiterated the doctor. 4

The BLUE AND THE GRAY. Under the
heading decorate all Graves,'' Northern
paper, the Philadelphia Telegraph, editorially
remarks:
's.The new American festival of decoration
day approaches, and its beautiful observances
will be emphasized in the tender manner Of
other years. 1t is a holiday which has taken a
peculiar hold of the American people. Scarcely
home in all the land but has felt, in some re-
lation, near or distant, the devastating touch of
war, and decoration" thus becomes, in spirit
at least, general observance, in which all
hearts are inclined to the same sweet though
painful memories. But we have not yet done
with this day all that we should. The passions
and hatreds Of the horrid strife of ten years
ago yet blur the vision of what is manly and
just. The life's fitful fever of those brave but
misguided Southern men being over, it is surely
time to bury the old animosities, and to admit,
not only our common humanity with them, but
our common nationality and our true sympathy
for relatives and friends in an atfiicton as Bit
ter as our own. Now, therefore, is the oppor-
tunity for affirming the true knship of all
American soldiers, and for proclaimng to the
world that old differences are forever buried.
Let all soldiers graves alike be decorated on the
occasion Of the coming festival, and let lis in
that observance take a definite step in the long,
delayed work OF coming once more fully abreast
to the world, North and South, as men to whom
the honor and safety OF the Republic are alike
dear.'
Whereupon the Baltimore Gazette remarks;
'sWe have given the mingling of the blue and
the gray at the South on decoration day, and
the Federal dead were not forgotten. It is
step in advance and toward reconciliation, when
the doings at Arlington heights cease to be
by-word and a shame, and President Grant
counsels and Northern papers endorse the ces-
sation of any contumely upon the dull, cold
earth of death''
