The Louisville Ledger says: Among
the busiest In distributing the flowers
upon the graves was colored man.
Al first we supposed him TO DO simply
a servant, acting under the direction OF
some one whose gifts he was arrang-
Ing. Observing more closely, howev-
er, we noticed he manifested an inter
est In the occasion above that OF
acre hireling-that he was perform
Ing voluntary labor Of love. On In
quiry we learned that he was Grand"
the body servant OF General Albert
Sidney Johnston till he fell In the con-
ilict, afterlwhich sad event he attached
himself TO the person Of General Preston
and served faithfully to the close, and
that he cherishes the memery Of those
who fell In the 'lost cause" with great
warmth, never allowing an opportuni-
ty to pass unimproved, when he can
publicly attest his devotion to the fall
len.
General S. b. Maxey, United States
senator from Texas, was present, and
In passing about the graves In search
OF the resting place OF any fallen Tex
ans who might sleep there, was deeply
moved when he found beside the mar
BILE headstones that marked the graves
of two soldiers from his state, not
merely beautiful bouquets Of fresh ilow-
ers, but several choice rose trees planted
by some unknown hand to bear
their annual floral tribute-besides n
beautiful pyramid of flowers placed
there by Miss Henrietta Johnston,
daughter of General Albert Sidney
Johnston, as an expression OF her APP
probation Of the honor In which the
people of Texas held her father while
living and hold his memory since
dead.

THREE scientific men of Italy have
proposed methods for burning the dead,
but none of them seemed calculated to
carry out the full idea that cremation
involves. The German method, of
which Professor Reclaim, of Leipsic, is
the inventor, seems the best yet pro-
posed The system is somewhat
complicated one, but II is said to do its
work well. The professor says that "no
other method treats the body in such a
simple and pious manner. Before the
assembled mourners the corpse Is low
cred into smoothly walled room where
no other objects can be found. Moth
ing touches it but the air, heated to q
white-glow intensity, the oxygen Of
which unites with the atoms of the
organic structure. Only the ashes re-
main, and these can be gathered up
unmixed with any foreign substances. {"
The cost of burning a body by this pro-
cess is about two dollars.' The archi-
tect, Siemens, Is engaged in construct

model in Dresden, and if the prospect

hut before concluding and chang
ing the subject some what, I will
say that we were invited to dine
with our friend Mr.. Boyd Harlan;
a gentleman who, from his hospi-
tality, IL widely known. CT course
we accepted the kind invitation,
and partook of a most sumptuous
meal. After dinner we continued
our drive to the thriving village Of
Hedgesville, and reached the city
j1st as the shadow of the evening
was gathering around US. The
whole country presented beauti,
full appearance. Hedgesville has
many redeeming features. In the
first place 1t Is noted for its health
fulness, which Is great thing for
the community. Then again for
its morality, which is the greatest
feature 0fall. ! would like some
of the people of the village to take
three or four hundred Of Martins
burg's young Americans on proba-
ton merely to see il there was any
such thing as reformation about
them. though / fear an impression
upon many Of their invulnerable
hearts would be hard to accom-
plish. Another great advantage
to the citizens of Hedgesville, is
their accessibility to water, being
in possession of one of the finest
flowing streams in the State,
though 1t doesn't throw water
quite as high as the Holly works,
the water being so cool that ice is
Of very little consequence. Could
we who live in the growing city OF
Martinsburg only say the same
that is in regard to the ice.
In passing along / couldn't help
but notice the terrible condition OF
the roads. think it q great won
der the farmers do not take some
action in regard to them, particu-
larly the Warm Spring road, from
the pike to the farm of VIM. Show
ers. Indeed, such roads are too
preposterous to allude to, though
their condition compels me to do
so. 10 prove this one piece

condition, / will demonstrate the
fact to you by wagon we came
in contact with whilst returning.
The wagon / allude to contained
four feminines, three Of whom
seemed to take things as they
came, by sitting on the floor of the
bed, while the fourth was In rather
an upright position, applying the

to the steed, reiterating, "Gin,
come up" with a very shrill voice.
When we first heard the noise we
thought some of the farmers were
flai'ing out oats. But the verdict
rendered by us, If any oats could
be found about that critter, would
leave them there, failing be-
ing quite unnecessary. So from
this you see the farmers will have
to either repair the roads or pay
more attention to their oat crop.
So of the two evils choose the
least. s.

To the Board Of Education Of the
School District of Mdrtinsbnra /:

GENTLEMEN - The undersign-
ed, the cen mite appointed by
your honorable Board to examine
the several schools of the District,
and more particularly those schol--
airs applying for promotion to a
higher grade, beg leave to submit
the following report
On the 10th and 18th of June,
we visited the Strinesville school,
and we found, that, although there
was only accommodations for 125
scholars, there had been enrolled
as high as 1923. Taking this
fact into cor sideration, we feel
that it is due to the teachers OF
that school to express our approval
of the system Of discipline and in
struction, which resulted in so
creditable an examination.
On the 18th we examined the
first and second divisions at Wy
songs school building. We do
not approve ofthe method adopted
by the Board, as illustrated by
the instruction in Division ] of
said school, for reasons hereafter
given; but even with this disad-
vantage, and others within the
knowledge of your committee, the
pupils did very well.
The discipline, method of in
struction and neat appearance of
Division No. 2 of this school, was
extremely gratifying to your COM
mittee.
On the 18th we examined King
street school, and rooms No. and
2 of the Central school. The teach
er and pupils in King street school
have been lahoring under serious
disadvantages, by reason of the
extreme darkness of the room, its
proximity to the public street, its
want of ventilation, and the need
of blackboards. Under these cir
cumstances it was impossible to
maintain proper discipline, and
advance pupils as rapidly as in
other schools of the District. We
have no recOmmendation to make
relative to room No. l of the cen
trail school, and simply express the
opinion that in every respect it is
model primary school. The ex-
animation in room No. 2 was cred
itably passed, and the pupils haye
been advanced to the grade which
they will begin at the commence
ment of the next school year.
On the 10Th we examined the
pupils i'm room No. 4. The result
of the examination in this room
was very satisfactory to your com
mite, but we cannot express our
approval of the method adopted in
teaching spelling in this room.
On the 22nd we examined Dir
vision Np. | of the Grammar
school, and room No. 3. The pu-
pills in room No 3 passed very
good examination indeed within
the grade prescribed. The exami-
nation in Division | of the Gram
mar school was very creditable,
both to teacher and pupils, espe-
cially as this il the highest depart
mel in our public schools, but
we would recommend that here
after in teaching the German Ian.
guage in this division, that more
attention should be given to con-
versing in German during a recita-
ton.
On the 23d we examined Divis-
ion 2of the Grammar Department.
This examination was altogether
satisfactory, evidencing diligence
