In accordance with the annual custom,
Wednesday, May Both, 1877, will be OBJ
served as Memorial day, in comemoration
of our dead comrades.
1t Is fitting that we should turn aside
from accustomed pursuits to do honor to
those who have given the strongest testi-

observance of the day, through the active
participation of the members of societies,
the children of the various schools, and the
citizens generally, is earnestly invited
Every effort should be made to mark the
last resting place of each soldier and sailor,
and we should also remember with tender
ness those who died away from home and
kindred and now rest in distant or unknown
graves.

ne Ordered Ousier Stelu.

One OF those toil-hardened, lrue-hearted
chaps, often read Of in romance, made
bis appearance on the Campus Marius
yesterday, and his sympathies were at
once aroused by the sight of three or four
old men, standing around him with their
buck saws and waiting for work
"I'll DO hanged if it isn't tough" lie
replied when they told him they hadn't
had any work Tor a month. "How would
you like to have some oysters? -
They smacked their lips by way OF
reply, and he gathered up q crowd OF
eight. marched them to a restaurant and
ordered oyster stews for each one.
at just does my soul good to see them
eat !" he said to the owner OF the place
as the eight got to work.
"Yes. its beautiful sight" vas The
reply.
1T makes me feel good in here" con-
tinued the stranger, laying his hand on
his heart.
"A good deed brings lis own reward
was the soft answer OF the restaur0nter
as he calculated his profits.
81 cannot rest here-I must do further
good" said the big-hearted stranger, and
he rushed out and brought in three ne
groes, chimney-sweep, two boys and
an old woman, and ordered more oys
ters.
The fifteen people went for oy s!er soup
in q manner to amaze. and their guardian
nudged the restaurauter in the ribs and
said
"See the gentle lambs On, that l
could feed the poor of oil America"
"You are good man, and Heaven will
reward you" replied the proprietor, as
he filed the dishes up again.
The stranger said he wanted to bring
in just five more, so as to say that ne had
fed an even score, and he rushed on. after
them, while the resiauranter sent after
more oysters anC crackers. Inc stranger
didn't return. He was last seen climbing
into q farmers sleigh on State street and
guiding his team to the west. The fifteen
in the restaurant licked their plates clean
and departed in Joyful procession. and

10 see the fun,' which, at our distance
from the scene of conflict, seemed TO be'
growing decidedly monotonous. By this
time Mr. Page had driited fully half q
mile to the westward, and not once had
the trout given any sign of yielding
When we came up with Mr.. Page it was
quite dark, and the contest, which did not
seem 50 very unequal after all.-for it
was yet doubtful which would get the
best of it,-had stretched out TO a lull
hour and quarter. Then at last the
trout showed signs of exhaustion, aud,
yielding to the inevitable pressure OF tho
elastic rod, was once brought near the
surface, but not close enough to net
Settling again to the bottom he had appa-
rently made up his mind to stay there;
but the gentle, steady persuasion OF the
faithful seven-ounce Murphy split bamboo
fly rod again proved too much for him,
and straining his tackle to the utmost,
Mr.. Page brought his victim gradually
toward the surface. The three boats had
now come so close together that the fish
was shut in on all sides. But it had be-
come so dark that it was difficult 10 dis
Germ objects with any distinciness. and TO
shed all the ligh. we could upon the puz-
zling problem which was at last approach
ing solution, we got together all the
matches we had with US, and made in
each boat q miniature bonfire. Soon
commotion upon the surface of the water
showed that the critical moment had
arrived. There. with his back fin as erect
as ever, was a magnificent front, which
was soon in the landing-net, and in
moment after in the boat, after precisely
an hour and hall of as steady and per-
sistent fight as a fish ever made forl
but his capture was full reward for all
the time and trouble it had cost, since he
weighed by the scales full seven pounds.
This trout, and one weighing eight
pounds which had been taken by Mr..
Crounse, were among the magnificent
trophies which were carried away from
BeVa when we broke camp day or two
afterward. And the scene upon that
memorable morning was one to which it
is difficult TO do justice with pen or pencil.
There was the balteau ladencd with all
the camp paraphernalia, including the
pet dog Prince. AS passengers, there
were the two leaders OF the party, Messrs.
Page and Crounse. each with his two
boys, while the guides pulled the oars.
Dam Quimby, the faithful cook and
profound philosopher. whose "corn dod
gers" had been in steady demand and
uniailing supply during the whole time
OF our stay in camp. was starting oil for
Il ten-mile tramp overland 10 Madrid,
leading the COW which he had brought in
with him by the same route month be-
fore. and the esprit OF Mooselucmagun-
tic" stripped Of his blanket, seemed to be
dancing in wild glee at the prospect OF
being left in undsturbed possession Of
his wild domain Two or three Of US
remained behind to catch few more
trout, and in the hope Of less boisterous
passage to the main camp. After day
or two we followed, taking with Us de-
lightlul memories of the camp at Bema.
and trout enough to excite the envy OF
the less successful anglers at the other
end OF the lake.

The quickest piece OF railway construc-
ton on record is that OF the Philadelphia
and Atlantic City road. The distance is
ftty-ive miles; the gauge three and half
feet. Among the excavations there is one
Of 10000 cubic yards; among entertainments
one Of 1900 feet long, using $4,000 cubic
yards OF earth, which was built in week.
OF bridges and culyerts there are more than
100. The whole road was constructed in
sixty-seyen days, and in time for q large
summer-excursion travel. The work IS
highly spoken OF as creditable piece OF
engineering, and it had the unusual merit
OF coming within the estimated cost.
Further investigation into the affairs OF
the Chicago State Savings Bank has re-
suited In the discovery Of o number Of new
notes, which will figure as available assets,

A TEXAN CONTRIvEs PLAN FOR TAKING WOOD
on TRAINS WITHOUT STOPPING.
From The San Antonio Express.]
An Express reporter, while wandering
about the CITY Yesterday, was suddenly and,
TO his surprise, tenderly embraced by Mr..
Jake Marshall. and invited to that gentle
mans residence to inspect a contrivance for
the loading OF wood upon trains while in mo-
ton. A few weeks ago the reporter CHANGED
to be upon q west bound train with MIR. Mar
shall, when the possibility OF avoiding the
delay incident to ''taking in' wood was d,s-
cussed. MIR. Marshall, having been IN tue
days of his earlier life man OF no mean me-
chanical ability, declared that he couid IN
vent means for loading the wood Wlthout
stopping the train, and upon reachinS MS
home he at once set his mind 10 "ork 10 lh-
vent machine for such purpose. 1t was
to show the reporter the result OF his iabors
that Mr.. Marshall invited him to his resi-
dence Yesterday. Beyond doubt he mas
achieved success. The machine consists OF
a flexible platform elevated few inches
above the height Of the tender, upon when
the cord-wood is piled. rs the train passes,
by the use of lever tie engineer throws
ont catch which takes the course OF a
groove i'm which a band that reyolyes the
rollers underneath the platform is caught.
and the platform is passed around the roll
ers, moving toward the tender, into winch
the wood is thrown. After the wood is dis
charged the platform recedes and escapes
the cars, which fly by, and no time is lost.
n there is any occupation in which time
is truly money it is in the railroad business,
and the ten or fifteen minutes lost loading
wood by hand every fifty or seyenty.ive
miles OF railroad route soon count up into
DAYS and weeks and months. During such
lapses OF time many hundreds OF miles and
many thousands Of dollars are lost, which can
be saved through the use OF Mr.. MarshalPs
invention. tits simple piece OF machinery,
works charmingly, and must be character
lied as one Of the important inventions OF
