-Etalka Gerster is the name Of a new
musical sta who Is just coming into
note in Europe. She sang a month ago
for the first time, and has since vaulted
from obscurity to fame. Scarcely any
body, except a few musicians, had heard
a word about her, and when she came
on the stage as Amina in "Somnam-
buia," she pet with no reception"
whatever. Il was a very different story
before she got through her evenings
work. The audience at once recognized
the fact that a great star had appeared,
and the moment Il was telegraphed over
Europe that she had made a great sue

DECORATE r%,IrARrIALLY.

When the Order Of Union and Con.
fsderats Veterans undertook the work Of
decorating the graves Of our houorsd
and heroic dead yesterday. the citizens
OF Virginia and Gold Hill had a right to
believe that every soldier who had
fought fer his country would be remem.
sered BY the men who had taken upon
themselves the task OF doing honor to
the dead braves. In the cemetery at
Gold Hill rest four soldiers. two OF
whom fought in the Mexican war. and
the other two rlsked their lives to
preserve the integrity Of this grand
Union. The Committee Of Arrange
msnts made no preparations for the
decoration Of the graves Of these men {;
and but for the patriotism OF Gold
Hillsrs, who formed q procession and
paid 10 the soldiers reposing here the
same honors given to those in Virginia.
the graves Of these four men would
have been neglected, like those in which
"reposs the ashes Of eventless lives"
When the ceremony Of decoration was
established, II was intended that the
grave Of every soldier, and especially
every Union soldier. should be covered
with a mantle Of flowers. In the East
care 10 taken to search out the graves Of
the unknown. and not . single soldiers
memory fails to receive its tribute
Of gratitude. II Memorial Day Is
intended simply to give our ciii-
rsns an opportunity to make a
grand parade and display their maguiii.
cent figures. Il is perfectly proper for
them to neglect the soldiers graves in
Gold Hill. But IL. a we have always
believed. Memorial Day is typical Of the
gratitude Of a whole nation to it's
heroic protectors and defenders. II Is
the duty Of the gentlemen having the
charge Of arrangements to see to 1t that
every one Of these protectors and de-
fesd-rs is impartially honorsd. It is
to bs hoped that the "orler Of Union
asd Confederate Veterans" will remsm-
bsr this fact next year and decorate u
soldiers graves in Gold Hill with as
choice flowers as those which mantle
the graves in Virginia.
