ties ask permission to wear special badge to

edge the legality of the sect and to grant
rights of citizenship to its members"
The .Ballston N. Y. Journal quotes from
the New York World the following words on
the nnfitness of the selection of Col. Ingersoll
to deliver the Decoration Day Grafton in New
York: "On such public day most mourn
ers will think it CHASTITY kind Of mockery to
seek consolation of man whose notoriety
has been gained by contending that the con-
solutions to which the people of ChIistendom
have for eighteen centuries turned in their be-
reavements are fantastic and illusory." The
Journal adds the following pointed comment:
"None of us would wish to see a man pro-
scribed on account of his opinions, religious
or other. There are times, however, when it
is question of some moment whether the
person chosen to speak as representing great
community is at least believer in God, and
is in position to make some recognition of
him as the God of nations and the king Of
kings. The occasion now alluded to was pre-
eminently one of that sort. The choice OF
Col. Ingersoll, the most notorious infdel of
the age, to represent the nation at its chief
commercial center, and to speak the things
appropriate at such time, is not to be COM
mended on the ground either of good taste,
good sense, or common decency."
"SERvANT-GALIsM' has come to be fruitful
of great annoyances, if not in itself great in
stitution. AS illustrations of heightened in
dependence, the following from the Boston
transcript will spoint moral,'' if it docs
not 'adorn tale" Says the writer: "Some
six weeks ago lady who lived on a fat in a
hotel came to me for girl in family of two.
AS the janitor brought up the coal and did
other Chores in the house. it was an easy
place. A girl went from the Office on Tuesday.
The next Saturday the lady's brother and wife
came for short visit. Sunday morning there
was no girl and no breakfast, and search up
stairs showed that the girl was gone, bag and
baggage somewhere. Early Monday the lady
comes down to ask if we have seen her girl.
We hadn't; but later on in the morning in
comes the girl, full of fury because, as she
said, we had sent her to boarding
house, and she wouldn't work in no
boarding house. Another lady came
lately and said, 4 want good girl. Take my
order and will wait week. Any pay, but
get me good girl. We are three in the fam
ily.' A girl who had lived on Beacon street
was sent her at 81 week. The lady said to
her when she came, The cooking is not elab-
crate, but my husband is particular in some
things. He wants in the morning his toast
all dried up and and his egg boiled hard enough
to cut it, The next morning up came toast
and egg very soft. The lady soothed her hus-
band with the excuse that it was a mistake.
Dinner was cooked all right and supper. But
the next morning the toast and egg were the
same way. Then the lady went down to ex-
Postulate. The girl said, 4 guess I've been
too long in Beacon street to spoil my hands
cooking down here, and flung herself out OF
that house in rage.
MRS. SEPTEMA MEIKLEHAM, resident of
Washington city, claiming to be grand
daughter of Thomas Jefferson, has memorial
lied congress in behalf of removing the re.
mains of Jefferson from Monticello to Glen
wood cemetery, in the District of Columbia.
She claims that she has a superior and super
lative right, above all other surviving rela-
tives, to decide this matter, and urges con-
gress to appropriate munifcent sum to place
monument in Glenwood in honor of Jeffer-
his pooip hill ho
there deposited. She does not
think the wishes and directions of Mr.. Jeffer-
SON in regard to his place of burial are to be
respected; or the feeling of his descendants, or
the strong sentiment OF the citizens of Vir.
ginia against the removal of the remains.
She only consults the purposes and greed OF
the spectators in burial lots in Glenwood,
who graciously bestow upon her, doubtless
for her advocacy of their mercenary scheme, a
sufficient and acceptable douceur. 1t is to be
hoped the outrage of removal will not be
perpetrated-that the wishes of the great
statesman will be held in due reverence and
respect-that the tender feelings of the sur.
vivors of their august relative will not be out
raged-that the just sentiments of the people
OF Virginia will be regarded who desire the
remains of their distinguished citizen to re-
pose in the bosom of his native state, as he
himself, dying, requested. The senile me-
morialist, who signs the carefully pre-
pared petition to congress, is made to say
that the remains are not safe in Monticello.
OF this there is no evidence
and can be no fear. Mon
ticello is shrine, hallowed by the resi-
dence and grave of Jefferson, and nowhere in
the broad world can his sacred dust be safer,
more honored and respected than there. Why
do not the ambitious, greedy Spectators in
burial lots in Glenwood cemetery propose to
remove the remains of Washington to Glen
wood to give eclat to that cemetery? All the
arguments put into the memorial OF the old
lady, who has been used as an instrument to
influence congress in regard to the removal
of the remains of Jefferson, are just as peril
rent in behalf of the removal of the re-
mains OF Washington. Mount Vernon
has passed out of the family of Washington,
as has Monticello out of the family Of Jeffer-
son. and the remains of the one are as much
exposed to the dissertation of vandal hands
as are those OF the other. Both estates
passed out of the hands of the respective fam
lilies with due reservation in regard
to the private burial grounds
-h.,a slson the remains of their
