marching of the troops generally was
very fine, and excited great interest
among military men, and elected loud
cheers from the multitude. General
Hancock and General Fitz Hugh Lee
were both loudly cheered wherever
they appeared, as a tribute to the blue
and the gray and recognition of the
fact that both were now marching I'M
der the same flag of common country.
The state troops We'd with each 9TH
er in drill and discipline, and the
friends of each claim the palm for some
crack corps. The regulars excited
general admiration. The two pieces
of artillery captured ut the siege of
Yorktown and presented by Washing
ton to the Chatham artillery of that
famous old organization, were there,
and excited the greatest interest. As
illustrative of the discipline of some
of the volunteers, it may be mentioned
that one of their sentinels refused to
let Secretaries Lincoln, Hunt and Post
master-G General James enter the grand
stand without the usual pass required
of every conner. The commander OF
the armies, the ruler of the navy
and the director of the mails of the
nation, had to be subject to the orders
of the officer of the day.
"A very large crowd lined the bluffs
along the water front to witness the
naval review. At the appointed houI
the sails of the naval vessels were
dropped and then furled rgain, the
yards manned, and twenty-one guns
fired from each of the seven men of
war lying in the harbor as salute to
the Presidents party, who pass each OF
them i'll "a steam yacht. On the return
of the party the yards were again man
ned and another salute of twenty-one
guns was fired, the Frenchmen man
ming their yards and joining in the sa-
lutte. The scene from the bluff was
one of the most picturesque of the
whole occasion. The naval vessels
covered with bunting, the yachts, tug
sail and row boats, with the steamers
the music from the band and the firing
of the salute, all combined to make 4
scene long to be remembered"
On Friday the celebration was clos
ed, and the multitudes dispersed to the
several portions of the country from
which they had assembled.

The Yorktown Affair.

On Thursday occurred great fea-
ture in the Yorktown celebration-the
military and naval reviews. The af-
fair is described as follows: "An inn
mense crowd lined the ground over
which the troops passed, but the senti-
nels along the line of march kept them
back and preserved perfect order. On
the grand stand, to which persons were
only admitted by ticket from Gen.
HancOck's quarters, were the President
of the United States and members of
the cabinet, senators, congressman,
governors of states, General Sherman
and staff, the French and German dele
cations, and a large number of other
distinguished men, as well as many
ladies. Promptly at ten o'clock the re-
view began. There We're nine thou

up of regulars and state militia. The

Southern Temperance.

The eighth ANIMAL convention of the
national w. C. T. U. is in session at
Washington this week, and over two
hundred talented women of the cOun-
try are present. One of the interest
ing features of the gathering is the
summary of Miss Wizards trip through
the South In Maryland advanced
ground has been gained, and in Balti-
more even the Episcopal church had
opened its doors to the cause. In
Richmond and through Virginia like
progress was noted. In North Carroll
ma, Gov. Jarvis gave his sanction to
the cause. In Charleston, S. c., the
foremost ladies and all the clergymen
were waging "a stout battle against the
liquor traffic. In Savannah, Ga, the
union was presided over by lady OF
the highest social standing, and OF
great wealth. The young ladies were
especially aggressive. In Florida
there were many enthusiastic temper
ance men and women, and prohibition
Legislation only failed by three votes.
In the capital of Alabama the women
were determined to make the country
pure and clear. OF the work in Louis
lana, Texas and Arkansas, Miss Will
lard expressed her regret in not being
able to give favorable reports. Still
the Christian women were at work,
especially in New Orleans, and had not
lost heart. In Tennessee the cause
was flourishing. In Nashville the
widow of ex-President Polk, noble
old lady, was a grand advocate of the
cause, and the Christian temperance
women of the country propose to place
her portrait in the White House. The
progress of the temperance cause
throughout the Indian Territory was a
charming surprise. In the entire conn
try there was not "a single grog shop.

drink, and that this branch of reform
might proftably be incorporated into
the work of the temperance women of
our state. All that is necessary to the
organization Of such a society, says
Mrs. Williams, is that twenty or thirty
persons in different parts of the state
show an interest and combine their
efforts; and all who are interested in
this plan are invited to correspond with
the lady mentioned. 49,. B.
The idea of establishing such a sOci-
ETY. in Vermont would be good one,
if it could be carried out successfully /;
but while we greatly deplOre any
abuse of dumb animals, and would
heartily endorse any lawful punish
ment inflicted for cruelty in this line,
we very much doubt the feasibility OF
organizing a state society. There Is
law enough on the statute books now
to protect animals and punish theiI
abusers ;-it simply lacks enforcement
like a good many others we might
mention If the officers would do theil
duty in respect to every branch OF
crime, there would be no call for spe-
cial societies and the record of the
past is that special societies do not
always fill the bill as prompters and
hackers of regularly appointed officials

opinion and faithful officials to set

The Mormon community i'll Utah
that blot on the fair fame of our nation

The Vermont Chronicle is not at all
pleased with Governor Farnham's ac-
ton in travelling with the Vermont
troops ON Sunday, to reach the York
town celebration. Our contemporary
thinks "there is more than the evil OF
bad example in this violation of the
law of God, and the Christian state, 10y
the highest civil authority of Vermont.
To compel men, at the risk of fines and
imprisonment, To transgress the law OF
the Sabbath, as does the order of the
Governor, is an unwarranted exercise
of authority and an oppression of the
conscience. Some, we know not how
many, of the Christian young men OF
the soldiers felt this" Nermonters, as
a whole, have been brought up to re-
we're the Sabbath, and it really is too
bad that arrangements were not made
by the Governor and others in charge
of the Vermont delegation to Yorktown
so as to obviate the use of the Sabbath
for travelling purposes.

Mrs. Garfield has publicly announc-
ed, through Col. Rockwell, that she
purposes publishing carefully com
piled collection of her husbands litera-
ny efforts. This will not be done right
away, as it will require time to do the
work well. But it will be done under
her authority and sanction, and, when
it does appear, will be a valuable thing.
During his whole public life, Mr.. Gar
field had the reputation of never max
ing a speech unless he had something
to say, and his utterances during the
last Presidential campaign were models
of prudence and sound doctrine. There
is much in the speeches and writings
of James A. Garfield from which the
young men of the nation-and older
ones too-can reap instruction and
benefit; and the promised collection
will be awaited with interest.

account of the progress of work on the wrecked
steamer. Wednesday last the scows having
been placed in position about the wreck, four
chains were carried under her keel by the
submarine diver, Capt. Floyd, who made his
way by crawling A low tide these chains
were drawn tight and fastened to the spars
which rested at either end upon the scows at
the sides of the Richmond. At midnight
Wednesday on the rise of the tide she was
lifted by the scows and all together were towed
into Rockand harbor. Thursday morning she
was again Fastened down to-" but instead of
rising broke two of the spars, thirty inches in
diameter. She now lays in five fathoms of

a burglar in the storel" Mr.. Coombs jumped
out of bed, made his toilet in about 80 seconds

tried to escape by fight. "Hold on, you viii
