BOSTON TO RICHMOND.
The Touching Tribute Paid to the
Memory OF StOnewall'' by The
Visiting knights TempIar-Me-
mortal Day in the Old Confederate
Capital.

RICHMOND, VA, May 28.-The Boston
and Providence Communicates, escorted by
the Richmond Knights, psraded this fore
noon through the principal streets in the
eastern part of the city, visiting en- route
the historic st. Johns Church and other
places of interest, including the old Masonic
Hall, which is said to be the Oldest
edifce OF It's kind In this country. At the
latter place fine collation. was partaken OF,
after which they returned to their quarters
and were dismissed.
One of the most beautiful and touching
incidents connected with the present pill
grimage, and which had been kept secret
by those participating in it, occurred before
the parade. The Boston ComInandery at
an early hour marched from their quarters
to Capitol Square, and forming around the
statue of Stonewall jackson, stood with
heads uncovered and with swords at
present. aud while their band played a
memorial overture, arranged by Prof. Hall,
the Knights in command moved forward
aud placed at the base Of BE monument
most beautiful evergreens and rare flowers.
This tribute from the brave New England
ers to the great Confederate General, oc-
curing as It did on Memorial day, was
deeply affecting and moved some of the
spectators TO tears. A leading Virginian,
who was present, remarked: 'tThis viii do
more to restore complete fraternity among
the people of the North and South than all
the platforms the politicians will frame
during the present year"
The Commandery then marched to the
Washington Monument, within the same
grounds, and decorated it also with flowers.
The music here, while equally appropriate,
was not so solemn IS at the Jackson Is
statue. Tonight the general programme OF
entertainment will be concluded with a
double banquet, one at the theatre to the
two visiting Communicates, and the other
at Pizzine's saloon to the ladies accompany
ing the pilgrims. Both affairs are to be on
the grandest scale. b4. ~-
Memorial day is being observed here to-
day with the usual ceremonies, including
the decoration of the graves of the Confed-
crate dead at Hollywood Cemetery. Bust
ness is generally suspended this afternoon,
and thousands Of people are taking part in
the annual tribute to the fallen braves of
the Lost Cause.

ATLANTA'S HEALTH.
The RumOrs In Regard TO It Em-
phaI1caIly Denied.

ATLANTA, GA, May 26.-The Board Of
Health assert that no contagious, infec-
tious or pestilential diseases prevail in this
city; that no case Of yellow fever ever origi-
mated in this city, and that the cases OF vel
low fever brought here during the epidemic
In the Mississippi valley three years ago and
during former epidemics elsewhere, did Lot
propagate the disease. There have been
less than $ dozen sporadic cases OF scarlet
fever here this year, but 1t is not known
that single case now exists In the city.
The sanitary condition of the city Is bet
ter than It has been for twenty years, and
the record of the mortality, as well as the
testimonyof the principal physicians, attests
the unusual healthiness of the season. The
absurd reports to the contrary that have
been in circulation are utterly without
foundation.

COTTON CULTURE IN EASTERN CARO-
LINA.-A farmer subscriber in Mecklen-

Mr. George Allen, of Newbern, upon
the premium cotton crops raised in East
ern North Carolina last year and request
ing information as to the method of cul-
tivation in raising said crops, we sent
his letter to Mr.. Allen, and the following
is his reply: 'In reply to your inquiry
we would state that ten-acre crop was
planted with garden peas the latter part
of January, 18S0-The crop was sold
during April. We then listed the same
rows and planted with Dickson cluster
cotton, which was cultivated entirely
with the Allen steel sweep. The crop
commenced to open the latter part OF
September, and yielded six hundred and
seventy-ive pounds of lint per acre.
The sales of peas, forage. cotton and

PRISONERS OF THE SEA.
serious Peril of the Duke and Dueh-
ess of Edinburgh

A London dispatch Of the Oath says: GA
curious incident happened at Sidmouth to-
day in which the Duke and Duchess Of
Edinburgh narrowly escaped destruction.
Sidmouth is seaport town on the coast of
Devon, not very far from Exeter. 1t is
a very picturesque spot, and is frequented
by large numbers of visitors late In the sea-
son. At present the visitors are few, and
this, perhaps, led the Duke and Duchess to
spend some few days there. They incau-
tiously went to spot on the coast which
at high tide was inaccessible, save by o
boat, and, the tide coming in with great
rapiditY, they were at the mercy of the
waves, when they were happily discovered
by the officers of a vessel lying off the har-
Dor. They sent their lifeboat to the rescue
of the royal pair, who were thus taken of
safely. One man in the hfeboat narrowly
escaped drowning, so violent was the sea-"

THE STUDENT BURGLAR SENTENCED.
Luther Foster, the Phillips Academy
student, who, with his twin brother,
broke into the dwelling of Abiel Wilson,
and whose brother met his death from a
bullet fired by Mr.. Wilson, was called in
the Superior Court at Newburyport,
Mass. for sentence, Friday last. When
arraigned in the Police Court here, the
day following the shooting, he pleaded
guilty to the charge and since his arrest
it appears that he has been actuated by
no feelings of sorrow for the rash and
criminal act which cost his brother his
life and has placed him in felonis cell
for years. When called, the District
Attorney alluded briefly to the facts of
the case, and Judge Allen sentenced
Foster to seven years in the State prison

rnonstrous monopoly, which is mercilesslv

But this allegation is best answered by the
mere statement from the records that several
years since the freight on all measured goods
save show cases and window sashes, was ttUefl-
ty cents per foot, while now it rules at sac
eight and ten cents only, according to the clas-
sification of the articles. This certainly does
not look like oppression.
