Talking of flowers, there is rare curl
osity in that line on exhibition in the
window of j. G. O'Neils' Drug Store, a
Cactus bloom in Alcohol, looking as fresh
and bright as it did the day it was pluck
ed. Mr.. O'Neil says flowers that are not
of too frail texture, have been preserv-
ed in this mannor for months. Senti-
mental people can take advantage of this
method to preserve small boquets around
which memories cluster. 1t would be a
decided advantage over the old press dry
method. Some of the girls have whole
boxes full of musty boquets, SO lost to
recognition that Johns especial favor is
as often mistaken for Sam 5 and so on
through the whole category.

The Martin st. Skating Rink Parlors
furnished their guests with some very
extra attractions last Saturday night.
Mr.. John G. Blondel and Mr.. C. Curtis

music, and the " expert skating by a
New York gentleman, has never before
been equalcd here.
The new Polo Clubs under Captains
Moore and Muse, will entertain the peo-

The Memorial Services by arrangement
of Lincoln Post, G. A. R., on last Satur-
day, were grand and impressive. The
unity of action in making the occasion
one of fraternal interest, was pleasure
to all. AS purely local arrangement,
everybody is proud of it, and of the beau
ty and size of the procession, and there
is no lack of appreciation for the action
of the Military and other companies in
1nylA tlnst.
sions. No city of its size can display
finer looking companies. In their respec-
tive branches, both the Zouaves and Ar
tillery may safely challenge competition.
The music by the bands was appropriate
ly chosen and we'll rendered, especially
the dirge played by the Mechanics Band.
The public exercises after the decora-
ton services were full of interest The
prayer by Rev. A. S. Hank, was an ap-
peal beautiful and forcibly eloquent, as
it had reason to be. coming from heart
so near akin to that of our Martyred Lin
coin.
Hon: Edward Stake of Hagerstown, de-
livered an excellent address, fraternal,
forcible, and expressive.
Thanks are due to this gentleman for
his acceptance of invitation from the
Post, and thus giving our people the
pleasure of hearing him.
The music by the choir, which was
composed of the best voices in the city,
was approved of by most unmistakeable
applause.
1t is matter for regret that there are
people of culture, at least they arrogate
to themselves a claim to possess it, who
cannot at all times and places have some
regard for the amenities and courtesies
of life, if only such as commonsense ought
to teach them. Or, if lacking sympathy
with anything, to at least not intrude
their ill-timed gaucheries upon others.
