MEMORIAL Day IN CHARLEsFowN.-Fri-
day last, the 11th inst, was observed as Me-
mortal Day in CharIestown. aud the occasion
Wasmore generally observed than for several
years past. We had feared that the interest
formerly taken in this beautiful and touching
annual custom had begun to lapse, but the un-
usually large number of persons in attendance
last Friday, aud the renewed interest which
seemed to be taken in the honors thus. paid to
the noble dead of our fair Southern land, was
sufficient to dispel all such impressions.
A few persons came into town in the morn
ing, and shortly after noon they began to pour
N from all directions, until the town was al,
most literally filed with people of all ages and
sexes. vending their way with beautiful gar
lands and bright flowers to the silent city of
the dead-Edge- Hill Cemetery.
The business houses of the town were closed
ut three o'clock. the bells began toIliug at half
past three, and shortly before four o clock the
Shepherdstown Band. the Harper's Ferry
Band. and the Charlestown Cornes Band and
Mechanics Silver Cornet Band, Of this place
ALI of which had accepted invitations to be

PRINCELY SALARIES. Probably some
of our ambitious American citizens, who
either hold or aspire to office, and make
up their modest official compensation by
being parties to jobs and ring stealings,
have in their minds eye the salaries of the
different monarchs of Europe when they
are thus engaged. They doubtless think
their.seryices are worth us much as that of
some of the useless monarchs. The sala-
ries which they compare with, and thus
breed dissatisfaction within themselves,
are given as follows by IL German statisti-
clan: Alexander H. SO, $4,000, or $25, 900
a day; Abdul lAziz, SO 100000, or 900 a

A DIVORCE AT LAsT.-DEATH OF THE

A DIVORCE AT LAsT.-DEATH OF THE
CHICAGO CoAcHMAN WHO MARRIED HIS
WEALTHY MASTERS DAUGHTER.-The
end OF romance in real life Lyndon is
dead. Lyndon, the gay and festive coach
man, who won immortal fame by marry
ing his masters daughter Lyndon, hus-
band of the tickle Ella, and son-in-law Of
the savage Hancock; Lyndon, who almost
exchanged his seat or top Of the grand
family coach for one inside, and his cot in
the stable loft for the crack bed-chamber
OF palace; Lyndon the hero OF the divorce
years ago-Lyndon is dead, The wealthy
pork packers daughter has her divorce at
lust.
Something over two yeuis ago the COM
murfty Was startled by tile announcement
that candestine marriage had taken
place between Lyndon, a oOachnan in the
employ OF Col. John Hancock, one OF the
wealthieSt provision dealers in the city,
and the daughter of the last named impor
| tant parsonage. The affair created great
deal of scandal and provoked extensive
| comment. The bride, Ella Hancock, WAS
something less titan Is years Of age and d
very attractive person. Lyndon had no at
fractions whatever. He was a low-born,
illiterate Englishman. The marriage was
secretly celebrated, and the parties separa-
ted Immediately afterwards, taking their
old respective places in the household.
| The parents did not hear of the event for
several days afterwards, and by that time
the young lady-the bride who was not yet
a wife-had gained her senses sufficiently
to be willing and anxious to assist he: pa
rents in severing the tie. Suit for di
vorce was at once commenced, but a de-
cree was refused. An appeal was taken to
the State supreme court, which remande(
the case to the lower courts, where it still
! remains undecided.
About one month after the marriage
Lyndon had the young lady brought into
| courton writ of habeaS corpus. The
| Judge then gave her Il free choice between
| joining her husband or remaining with llel
father. She at once chose the latter
course,sand since that time Lindon has
made no further attempt to interfere will
her.
Mr.. Trude, Lyndon's lawyer, lately
abandoned his client, owing to his gross
dissipation. He found the coachman somt
weeks ago at a police station, under an as
sumed name, filled with bad rum and COW
cred with filth. He gave him money to pay
his fine and 'sshook'' the fellow, satisfied
the lawyer says, that Lyndon's sole motiv,
of late seemed to be to blackmail his III Il
father-in-law, and this the attorney Was
unwilling to countenance.
Lyndon died yesterday afternoon at
O'Clock, at the residence of A. Alexander
corner of State and Twenty-seyenths streets
He has been confined two weeks with in
fammation of the bowels. HIS funera
will take place this afternoon at O'Clock

personal history Of his early life.--He
came to this country with fatuer, mother,
sisters and brothers, his father dying when
the Bishop was about nine years of age
His mother was left penniless with the
children, but being asked whilst his father

''Trust in God;o and so by the faith of
his good mother he WAS finally brought to
occupy the exalted position of Bishop of
the United Brethren in America, his add

to be a body of very intelligent, Christian
gentlemen, and no doubt contribute their
full share of doing good. The Bishop also
preached in the afternoon, and the children
were addressed by several Of the preachers
who seemed to elicit their profound atten-
ton.
The accidents and the incidents of the
meeting 50 far are about as follows:

BLooD-DRINKING WoMEN.-The Read

regularly twice-a-week at Boyer's slaugh-

quatf the blood Of steers that are killed
there. Word is cent to the women that an

wne-glass in her hand. Fhe throat Of the
animal is cut with a large knife by the
butcher, and as the life-blood flows from
the wound it is caught in a large circular
silver pan by James NJ. Boyer, who Then

tie dozen women standing with bloody
mouths and h9lleS99ay glasses, waiting for tie
preparations, containing iron and other
constituents Of blood, have been used FOR
years by persons in this city, but very few
drank blood iPseif. However, it has been
quite common thing for DELICATE women
in Paris, New York, and even in Philadei-
phia, to drink blood under the advice of
prominent physicians,
