GENTLEMEN: The words Of inspiration on
which will be bassd the remarks I, have
to make are contained in the 18Th verse Of
the ls.h chapter OF l. Corinthians: "ouit
you Ike men; be strong"
It is alike the boast and glory Of the
scriptures that they are applicable to every
condition and emergency Of time. Com.
pleted nearly two thousand years ago, they
are as pertinent to-day as when the last
amen OF the apocalypse was uttered. This
fact makes the book usique. Among all
the publications OF time it stands alone.
Nor ia this all. Its exhortations, given for
one purpose, are found to be equally ap-
plicable to another. The politician, the
political economist the tradesman may
Ind in is most spiritual utterances direc-
tions to guide him in the most secular OF
his pursuits. Thus, the text is an exhorta.
tion to the young church in Corinth, but
Just snatched from heather degradation, to
the cultivation ot-every. manly and heroic
virtue, that they might the better resist the
errors by which they were still surrounded
and opposed. Christianity was to be no
sickly sentimentality. The new life wasto
be no mere negation. " II was summons
10 q conflict that would tax their ut
most strength, and in which only men
were victors. But where will you find
words that more fitly voice the duty OF the
American citizen to-day? As II the exig.
encies Of the times had demanded \ new
revelation, we seem TO hear the command,
fresh from the throne, Quit you like men;
be>stropg.1l Especialy.is it applicable on
an OCCASION like the present Standing as
we do on the eve Of 9 day designed to keep
green the memories OF ourfallen heroes, no
words can be more appropriate. The
American citizen Is heir 10 . vast and glor.'
ious heritage. A heritage perpetuated by
the toll, unified by the sacrifices, cemented
by the blood Of the mea whose deeds we
are TO commemorate. And this commem.
Grafton becomes thus full of Significance.
It is an act that commits US fully to the

No word from, Gen. Crook.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 2s,-No infor.
nation Of Crooks movements has been
received at the War Department. General
Drum is disposed to credit the report that
General Crook engaged the Apaches and
defeated them. He thinks the stories to
the effect thatThis Indian scouts turned
upon aud massacfed Crook and his COM
mand wholly sensational and improba.
BILE. "In the first place" said Drum, mo
one understands the Indian character bet
ter than Crook, and he would be the last
man.to put himself in a position where
such thing would be possible. In the
second place the Indian scouts left their
wives and children in the custody Of the
United States authorities and would not
dare to turn on Crook, even If inclined,
knowing that that their families were hos
tages. And again, had such thing hap.
pened should certainly ere this received
reliable reports in regard to it." ~ II
