Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1884-05-21
LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

lie, whose headquarters are in San Fran
cisco, has issued 4 circular concerning the
observance of Memorial Day, in which he
says The Department Commander has
observed with regret that the churches of a
religious denomination in this city contem-
plate giving a union picnic and excursion
on Memorial Day. Other societies have
also given publicity of their intention to
observe the day in like manner 1t is
believed that the membership of the
churches and societies alluded to have not
fully considered the propriety of their
action in thus taking to themselves in such
public manner, a day set apart by General
and State Government in memory of our
patriotic dead. The soldiers of the Repub-
lie do not regard Memorial Day as a holi-
day, but one which affords them an oppor-
tmity to publicly show their loving
remembrance of the patriotic virtues Of
their dead comrades The Grand Army of
the Republic do this by strewing flowers
upon their graves, and in other solemn
services, n which the public are asked to
join, they keep alive the reverence due
them from those who live Any such
public picnic and excursion is therefore
regarded as an innovation upon the sane
tity of Memorial Day, and disrespectful to
the memory Of those who fought and died
for the preservation of the Union and
maintenance of the laws which to-day pro
tect the people, and the Grand Army of the
Republic appeal to that public sentiment
which instituted this Day, and ask that it
be kept inviolate for all time to come.
WAITING FOR HIS MAsTER.-Four or five
days ago the drivers of ears on the H-street
route noticed that a shepherd dog followed
each car, generally from Tenth and K
streets, taking a good look at the occupants,
and after he was satisfied that they did not
include in their number the person he was
in search of, returning to what was consid-
cred to be his headquarters at Tenth and
h streets, IN company with the first car met
going in that direction. The occupants of
that car were also closely Scrutnized bv
him. When he was tired he laid down
upon the turntable at the junction of the
streets mentioned, and examined the cars
as they came along He paid little atten-
ton to blue cars, never following them
down Tenth street The driver Of the last
red ear at night was surprised 10 find the
dog following his car To the stable where
the animal remained until morning and
then resumed his patrol of the day before
The car men fed him, and rs he has fol-
lowed the same programme every day since,
they SympathiZe with and have become at
tached TO him, see that he is fed, and pro-
pose to purchase tag to keep him from the
PoundmaSter. 1t is believed that his mas
ter entered a street car several days ago and
failed to hunt the dog up when he got out,
and the faithful animal has been waiting
and watching tor him ever since.
