Decoration Day trOeeedings az kreuefiea'
A pretty feature in the Decoration
exercises at Frederick was the decor
ating committee ofthirteen little girls,
who wore crowns to represent the thir-
teen original States, and were dressed
in white. They were in charge of Mr.
Jos. Green. Each one would go to a
grave to be decorated, and at signal
given with flag, the flowers were de-
posted together. When the ceremo-
MES at tho graveyard were over, they
returned to listen to the following
ADDRESS ny MR.. MOwBRAY.
There is to my mind profound sub
Unity, as we'll as a profound tender
ness. associated with this National Me-
mortal. Apart from all logical reason
ings about the sad struggle of twenty
years ago, whocan fail to be impressed
by the gal ing together of the sur
vivOrs Of the late war, to deposit their
floral offerings on the graves of their
dead comrades; yes, to plant another
Ebenezer stone along the highway
where marches the nation with the
same old inscription which lined the
first one: Hitherto hath the Lord
helped us" 'Tis a day on which all
races and ages and sects may, and
should, become one, fused aud cemented
together by the flame Of devotion to our
grand American Liberty. I am glad
thatin common with all other portions
OF this fair land, we, of Delaware, have
brought some of earth's fairest flowers,
the grateful praises of our lips and the
deepest love of our souls, and laid them
all the best, the richest we have TO give
on that shrine. I am glad to be here
to contribute my little mite in honor,
both of the sleeping heroes whose
memory we so gratefully cherish, and
of the dear land which they died to
save.
1 shall not speak to you concerning
that fearful struggle which flung the
drapery of woe over so many homes,
and filled with anguish SO many
hearts. / shall not seek to call the
roll of the 1llustrious dead who con-
secrated themselves, their lives, their
all, to the perpetuity of good govern
ment. The history Of those memora-
bic days is eDgraven on the minds and
eonsciences OF even the children Of
America, and wounds wcllnigh healed
should moi, and ehall not by me, be re-
opened. iTis we'll some times to live

THE st. Louis Republican, of June
4th, has a long account of the recep-
ton of Hon. Thomas F. Bayard in
that city, from which we condense
as follows: Mr.. Bayard was met at
East st. Louis by committee and
driven across the bridge, in order
that he might view that magni-
ficent structure. At the Southern
hotel he was met by Mayor Francis
and heartily welcomed to the city in
the name of the municiple govern
ment. Mr.. Bayard was then intro
duced to the reception committee
and others, and went to breakfast.
At II O'Clock President Haarstick,
of the Merchants Exchange, assisted
by a special committee, escorted Mr..
Bayard to the Chamber of Commerce
where his reception was a grand pub
lie demonstration The immense
hall was packed with people by
whom Mr.. Bayard was received with
n burst Of spontaneous applause.
Prest. Haarstick, in calling the
meeting to order said: "We have the

THE people of the Eastern Shore
OF MARYLAND and of Caroline county
in particular, are getting excited over
the purchasing of votes at elections.
The evil has grown to such an ex-
tent that all parties see the need Of
reform. We are glad that our neigh
bors are waking up to the enormity
of this crime and we wish them sue
cess in their efforts to subdue it.
The reform is needed all over the
Peninsula, for every inch Of it is
as deep in the mud as Caroline
county. The Georgetown Journal
hits the nail in its last issue where
it says:
"As to the evil in question it exists
everywhere. There is no spot in this
great country where it is not sapping
the very foundation of government.
Caroline is no worse than her sister
counties, aud Maryland is no worse
than Delaware. All States and all
counties alike are cursed by its terrible
consequences. The question is not as
to the existence of the evil, but as TO
the remedy. This is what Caroline is
in search of, and it is what every other
county and every other State should
help her to find"
The moral sentiment against
bribery is growing and it will not be
long before some action will be de-
manded of legislatures to check it..
The present law in Delaware, is in
operative, we are inclined to think
that one furnishing the bribe-taker,
would be more efiectual; but the law
must be endorsed and sustained by
the moral sense of the community or
it will be as imperative as the pre-
sent one. The evil that results from
bribery should be kept prominently
before the people. Let every paper
on the Peninsula, week by week, ex-
plain to its readers how it debases
The voter and makes him the slave
of the money power, how it gives
the control of our government to
rich corporations, and how it leads
to high taxes and corruption, for this
money paid to the voter is taken out
of his own pocket in the shape
of taxes, etc. No politician wonld
advance money to pay for vote if
he did not expect to get it back four
fold ont the taxpayer. Ifthe poor
voters could understand what an in
jury and disgrace this taking of
brides was to them, they would look
on the offer, as an insult to their sense
and their manhood; and if men OF
high standing in the community
would, when their eyes are not
blinded by party excitement, look
at this evil IN the same light they do
other positive sins, they would form
resolutions ofamendment that would
stand through the excitement of a
political campaign, and we could
hope to see the evil, at least, abated.

GATES AT CITY RAILROAD CROSSINGS
The following was cut from the Richmond
Dispatch of last week. When will our City
Council be wise and do the like? Or will
they wait till some person is killed?
"a city ordinance recently passed and
approved says that it shall be the duty OF
all railroad companies operating within the
city of Richmond. within ninety days after
the passage of this ordinance, to provide
and erect vertical arm gates on such rail
road-crossings as the Committee on Streets
may deem necessary; and in like manner
to erect any other such gate or gates as the
Committee on Streets may from time to
time require. within ninety days from the
date of such requirement; said gates to be
of such pattern and erected in such man
ner as may be satisfactory 10 the said
committee. II shall be the duty of the said
railroad companies or any corporations,
receivers, individuals operating the same, to
erect and maintain such gates and to provide for
the closing Of the same at the approach of engines
or trains, so as to prevent accidents and to have
the same immediately opened when the engine or
train has passed, so as to interfere as little as
possible with public travel over said crossings.
If said gates not erected within the time above
specified, snd if the same when erected are not
ma ntaiL ed according to this ordnance, the cor
ration, receivers. or individuals operating said
rail- Dads sha l be subject to penalty of SO for
ea' day of fsilure to comply with the terms
hereof Sc much of any ordinance as may con-
tict with the foregoing is hereby repealed"

Infantinida.

COLUMBIA, S. c., June ia special to
the Daily Register from Trenton, Edgefeld
county, this State, gives the details of a
shocking nfanticide. The two.year old
illegitimate child of Harry Coleman, color
ed, and Jennie Vaughan, an idiotic colored
woman, was cared for by colored couple
who were childless. Coleman, who was
married, demanded his offspring and car
ried it to his home. Last Friday his other
children reported to Rosa, his wife, that the
little stranger was strangling in the next
room. Rosa rushed in and pretended to
relieve it by violent shaking. The child
died and, suspicion having been aroused,
an investigation was ordered, and the post
norton revealed the fact that the child's
skull had been crushed and its back terri
bly, lacerated by Rosa. The verdict placed
the murder on Rosa, who fed, and party
is in pursuit of her.

SAYINGS OF AN EvANGELIsT.-Here are
some of the pithy sayings of the Rev. Samuel
Jones, of Georgia, who is conducting an ex-
traordinary revival at Nashville, Tenn:
"What is culture worth if it's nothin' but
whitewash on rascal ?" "I'd rather be in
heaven learnin' my A B C's than in hell
reading Greek" Some preachers are so
elegant that they speak of hell as the burnt
district but this sort of dignity is the
starch of shroud." Heaven is on dead
level with every good man, and every good
man will be provided for in some way"
"Wil honest men starve? God will feed
an honest man, if he has to put the angels
on half rations." 'Be honest and pay your
debts. There's too many men in the church
boarding with their wives" Pull up your
doubts by the roots and you'll find seed at
the bottom, aud that seed is SIM" "a lie is
always on the down grade, but the truth
you have to hitch an engine to-"

In THE estimation of those whose bust.
ness is to read, learn and inwardy digest
the words and acts of the members of the
U. 8. Senate, Senator Blair of New Hamp.
shire is held to be crank, not only on tenn
perance, but on several other subjects. His
recent almost unanimous reelection over
men conceded to be greatly his superiors in
every qualification that should be requisite
for the position he fills, shows therefore that
the members of the Legislature of his State
are as cranky as he is. And when the blind
lead the blind both are likely to fall into
the pit.
