What is Diphtharia2

The name is comparatively new, but the dis
ease is as old as sin itself. It is condition of
the throat something like Group, only worse,
because it attacks the sufferer with such rapi-
dity and in such way as to stop the air pas
sages. The throat is violently infamed, and a
tough membrane, like leather, is very rapidly
formed. PERRY DAyIs's PAIN KILLER has

FROM SHORE TO SHORE.
A Record Of Memorial Day 0bSerFancaS
From Maine TO Oregon.
A NATIONAL TRIBUTE,
Scenes Without q Parallel in
the Country's History.

In the present issue of THE TRIBUNE we are
able TO give fuller and more detailed report
of the observance of Memorial Day than was
possible in orr last and although We have
found it impracticabie in some cases to print
as EXTENDED descriptions as we could wish, the
record is well-nigh complete. The majority OF
these reports have been received directly from
TIE TRIsUNE's Pest correspondents-aud in
some instances we have had several reports
from the same Posts-but We have also
drawn literally from the accounts printed
by the local press, which this year ap-
pears to hsye paid much greater attention to
the chronicling Of Memorial Day proceedings
than ever before. 1t viii be observed that the
celebration Of the day was mHeh more i'm
pressive in the country than in the cities and
that not merely the members of the Grand
Army. but maay civic organizations joined in
its observance. Perhaps the most conspicuous
feature. hewever, was tho part which the
yeuth of tse country took in the coInRlemora-
ti0n The schools were everywhere closed,
and the children marched in procession and
assisted IN the work Of decoration. BY an
attentive pernsal Of these reports our comrades
may obtain some useful hints for the obsery-
ance of the next Memorial Day, as well as
temporary pleasure. Another year, we trust,
they viii be more prompt in preparing and
forwarding their Post correspondence. THE
TRIBUNE can scarcely be expected to print
accounts which the postmarks show to have
been mailed from ten days TO two weeks after
the events described had taken place.

DELAWARE.

The soldiers graves in the cemeteries. at
Dover, Del, were beautifully decorated on
Memorial Day. Public services were held in
the afternoon, John Kingler, Commander of
Torbett Post, No 8, delivering the address. A
parade through the town followed. Among
the organizations in line were Torbett and
Woodan Posts companies E, of Wyoming and
ID, of Dover, of Second battalion. Delaware vol
unteer militia, and the Robbins Hose Company.
A feature of the procession was floral monu-
ment eight feet high, mounted on a car, and in
the carriages were flower girls, dressed in
white, with blue sashes, and the ladies of the
Post Aid Society. One of the flags in line was
the corps flag of company F, First Delaware.
The colored Post also turned out and decorated
the graves at Whatcoat cemetery.

VIRGINIA.

"Adjutant." of 7. F. Meagher Post, No. g.,
National Soldiers Home, Va, writes US that
Memorial Day was observed at that place.
Special Orders No q, issued by the Governor
of the Home, directed that all labor. as far as
practicable, should be suspended, and that all
members of the Home able to walk should ap-
pear in line. The first call for parade was at 715
a. IN. The order of procession was the Woodin
Guards, who acted asescort to the Post; German
Benevolent Society, and battalion of inmates,
headed by the Home band, and under command
of Governor P. T. Woodfn. The procession
proceeded to the National cemetery, where the
graves were decorated and a dirge played.
There was no prayer nor any Grafton. Upon
returning to the Home the veterans found that
Shaw and Gallons Posts, OF Norfolk, and Platt
Post, of Portsmouth, had arrived detail
from Meagher Post escorted them to the ceme-
terry. Department Commander Woodfn made
few remarks Rev. E. H. Bolden, colored,
offered a prayer and Isacc Worcomb delivered
an address. In the afternoon AN address was
delivered by George q. Pryor, colored, which
was admirable.
