Durable Timber.

One of the most durable kinds of wood
is that of the larch tree. The tree grows
in abundance and to perfection on the
sandy coasts of the Baltic. There tn"
Romans became acquainted with it dur
ing the Germanic wars, and so highly
did they value 1t that they transported
1t, at immense expense, across the Alps
down the river Pc, and thense to Rome
Vitruvius praises it much as building
timber, and Plinius declares it to be the
best of all resin us kinds Of wood. The
great floating palace which the Emperor
Trojan built for summer residence oil
Lake Nerne, was made partly of cypress
and pa, tly Of larch, and when, after the
lapse of fourteen centuries, this palace
was discovesed on the bottom of the SEA-
and ra sed from the mud in which it lay
imbedded, all those parts Of it which
were of larch were found to be perfectly
sound. In the English marine the larch
was introduced in 1909, from the Scotch
forests of the Duke of Athol, and the
frigate Athol, built in 1880, is still in ac-
tive service in and excellent condition.

From Core spondence OF N. Y. Herald.
The Sand Lot Proceedings.

But to go back to the point at which
the dispatches of early this morning
roke off. After Kearney had concluded
his conference with the ward presidents
last evening the march for tie sad lots
was resumed. The crowd had assem-
bled there before he arriv, d, and was
harangued by several prominent work
ingmen, counselling prudent action.
Kearney on arriving Immediately as
ended the stand and began addressing
the audience. which covered the entire
sp zee between the rostrum and Market
street. Probably not less than twent'
thousand persons were present. The
vindictive feeling which prevailed DUR
ing the day had apparently in nowise
diminished, and at q word from kearney
the whole body would have poured
down town without hesitation to wreak
their vengeance on the De Youngs.
Kearney realized the situation and ad-
dressed himself to the task of quieting
the passions of his followers. He re-
minded them that in ten days the eiec.
ton would put the whole machinery OF
the city government in their hands, and
that without fail the proprietOrs Of the
Chronicle would meet their punishment.
THE SON INSTEAD OF THE FATHER.
The sensation of the day among the
workingmen is young Kalloch's speech
at sand lot. He is Baptist preacher, a
bold, fluent, and pleasant speaker, and
he made marked impression. He ask
ed for peace at the request Of his mother
and for the sake of his father, whom, he
said, any excitement would kill: He
s.id that he believed that his father
would live to tread on the sod over De
Young's grave and continued 81 ap-
peal to you, if De Young is not killed b.
the law, to help me to kill him."
The talk among the workingmen to-
night is, if Kalloch dies, to run his son
for Mayor, In the present temper OF the
times they probably could elect any one.
This evening all the militia were dis
missed except the Armory guards-thirty
men of the Calling bait cry. There Is
not the slightest danger of any outbreak
Quiet threats are made that if kallOcl
dies De Young must die.

A TIMELY ARREST.


the Hands of a "Capper"-The Inebriated
Individual Cared for by the Police.
A few minutes after II o'clock last night,
hack containing two men, drove up to the
Jackson street entrance to the Merchants
hotel, one of whom was exceedingly drunk,
and inclined to be demonstrative, absolutely
refusing to vacate the hack. A noisy wran-
gle ensued which attracted the attention of
Officers Cook and Hanft, who repaired to
the hack for the purpose of quelling the dis
turbance.
The friend (?) of the inebriated individual
succeeded in getting his charge to the saloon
opposite, shortly after which the man in
charge of the saloon called Officer Cooks
had considerable money on his person, sug-
be looked after.
1t had been ascertained, in the
meantime, that the drunken man
| was stranger in the city,
while his sober companion was identified
with downtown gambling house. Max
ing good use of the hint, the twain were
stopped by the officer as they were about to
re-enter the carriage, the stranger being ad-
vised to 60 to bed, while his companion was
ordered to go about his business. The
moneyed individual, for such he proved tc
be, stubbornly refused the advice
| given, when it was decided
to lock him up for safe keeping, the gam
bier in the meantime insisting upon hif
being taken to the Merchants for the night
The two men, the officer and a GLOBE re-
porter we're proceeding up Third street
when the stranger suddenly seized his com
panion and demanded his money, Stain,
that lie should have 81 200 on his person.
Ali knowledge of the money was repudiate'
by the gambler, who requested that tn
stranger be searched, stating that the none,
would be found on his person. Upon bein
searched, well-lined pocket book was foun
upon the young mans person, and notwith
standing the most strenuous resistance b
was taken to the station, where Chief Webe
was apprised that the case was ono that dc
manded investigation.
The contents of the pocket book were o.
amined, consisting of $971 IN money, and
draft for $4,000 on the Chemical Nations
: bank, of New York, in addition to whic
$31.35 was found in various parts of hi
clothing. The draft was made payable to til

PALM SUNDAY.
How 1t was Observed at the Cathedral
Yesterday.

How 1t was Observed at the Cathedral
Yesterday.
The celebration of Palm Sunday, or the
Lords Passion, by the Cathedral congrega-
ton, yesterday, was characterized by the most
impressive solemnity, and it rarely happens
that larger audience assemblies to honor the
occasion than that which filled church, audi
torium and galleries on yesterday morning.
The exercises were elaborate and interesting
to degree, the ceremonies alone occupying
over two hours from opening prayer to dox-
ology.
The opening exercises consisted of the
blessing of the palm by Bishop Grace, as
sisted by Father McMullen, as deacon;
Father O'Riely sub-deacon, and Father
Stanley as master of ceremonies. The
the most impressive and beautiful character,
commencing with the sacred blessing by
B shop Grace, which was in turn repeated by
his reverend assistants, followed by the
most suggestive performance of the day.
Immediately after the prelatical blessing,
a number of robed acalytes stepped forward
to the name directly fronting the altar and
received the branches that had been blessed,
which they proceeded to distribute among
the congregation, each auditor receiving a
fragment of the consecrated bough.
The celebration of high mass followed,
Father Stanley officiating as celabrant, the
sacred and peculiar character of the epistle
being rendered by the full cathedral choir
in manner at once artistic, solemn and
captivating.
Upon the conclusion of the ceremonies
attending the chants and responses to the
epistle, Fathers Stanley, McMullen and
O'Riely alternately chanted the Lords
passion according to st. Matthew, twenty
sixth and twenty seventh chapters. The in
tensely sacred character of the selections al
luded to, the solemn and semi-tragic nature
of the subject matter therein contained, to
gether with the clear and distinct manner il
which the chapters were intoned, made thei
rendition exceedingly beautiful and effect
ing.
Father McMullen then ascended the pulpi
and announced that the amount of time al
ready consumed in giving the ceremonie
precluded the possibility of sermon, afte
8 which the announcements were read for tn
ensuing week. A brief address followed o.
the benefcence of charity, after which tn
usual collection was taken up, when the con
gregation dispersed.

Headstones for Soldiers Graves.


1t is probably generally remembered that
some years ago-in 1873 Congress passed
q law providing for the erection of durable
headstones over the graves of soldiers of
the regular and volunteer forces of the
United States whose remains are inferred in
the national military cemeteries. This law
has been carried out, and the graves of the
nations dead in these cemeteries are now
permanently marked. At the instance OF
the war department, Congress has recently
authorized the erection of similar head
stones over the graves of the Union soldiers
who are buried in private and village ceme,
teries. This will be done as soon as the
necessary arrangements can be made. II
the meantime the Quartermaster General, a
washington, will at once proceed to collec
the necessary information as to where thes'
headstones are required.
All persons having any knowledge of th,
burial places of soldiers in private GENE
Daily globe., 1879-04-07

tories whose graves are not marked, are re-
quested to communicate the fact to the
Quartermaster General, and give regiment,
company, and date of death of deceasedb If
known. Similar information is desired from
parties in charge of such cemeteries.
OF course it is not intended to furnish
headstones for graves over which monu-
ments have been erected by relatives or
friends of the deceased.
