NOTES AND QUERIES.

There are indications that Bob Ingersoll is
coming this way to lecture. His agent has
ben in communication with Nessrs. Moore
& Parker concerning their theater. Next week
some time, probably, Bob will be launched
upon us. He will be very heartily greeted
here This is
DECORATION DAY,
and in a quiet fashion the soldier men of Car
surviving veterans of the Mexican War, the
Carson Guards and such Union soldiers and
sailors as are here have taken steps to partici-
pate in the exercises of the day Probably
there will be nothing more done than to qui-
city strew the graves Of dead comrades with
flowers in the usual undemonstrative and very
appropriate way We have heard of no prep
aratiOns for any further or more elaborate ex
ercises Hitherto some of the ex-Confeder-
ates living here have participated in these sad
ceremonies. We hope they may not be de-
TERED from doing 50 to-day. The war was
only political discussion where the particl
pants came to blows. The grave, yonder,
covers no animosities, represents nothing but
love of country and devoted patriotism
Surviving valor can afford to strew roses on
the dead who in their lives took part in the
dangers of a conflict which illustrated the
perfectness of American manhood. We are
dumb i'll the presence the sorrow of Virgin
ian father. One son fought ON the side of the
Confederacy; the other on the side of the
Union Both were slain. The healt-wrng
father caused them to be buried side by side.
Upon their simple tombstone he caused these
words to be engraved:
God knows which was right"
Let convictions find utterance as they will;
let the heart speak, unbidden, its simple as
sent and say ''Amen!' Let the dead who
died when the sounds of conflict had sunk
away and the calm of peace had come be
remembered on the eve Of every June as now
they are.
After the clouds, the violet sky,
After th. tempest, the lull Of waves,
Quiet woods where the winds go by,
After the battle peaceful graves

work The highest bid was 81 900. There
was but difference Of SIS between DonO-
