Post requested the ladles present TO
cooperate with the G.. A. r.. in col
Letting and arranging flowers to be
strewn on the graves of their dead
comrades and friends on May 30.h.
The ladies agreed to do so and have
them brought to the headquarters, in
Meats Opera House, Friday evening,
May Doth. All the wives, daughters,
mothers, sisters and widows of ex-
soldiers Of the late war are invited to
assist Thoburn Post in making ar
rangements to decorate the graves of
their fallen friends, and the public
asked to make May Both general hol-
day as far as possible. All the Sun
day schools, societies, bands and other
organizations will be invited to turn
out in one grand procession under the
lead of the G.. A. r. to decorate the
graves of their dead on that day, and
we have no doubt the invitation will
be accepted.
The G.. A. R. will have a meeting
next Wednesday night at their head
quarters, to make permanent arrange
ments for Decoration Day, and all
lady friends of the old soldiers are
requested to be present. All donations
of flowers should be reported to Thorn
as Hill, commander, or John Chambers
Adjutant of Thoburn Post.
Brecities.--The JOURNAL took notes
Of the MAY Pole' ceremonial at the
Shaffer's hall skating rink on the LIST
inst, but they were overlooked in the
mass Of original matter which crowded
on us last week. Noting the omission,
doubtless, an esteemed lady cores
pondent supplies it with a communica-
ton more interesting perhaps than
any article we could have prepared.
The management of the rink is in ex-
cellent hands, and all who patronlze
it may be sure Of clever accommoda-
ton.
For several reasons the JOURNAL
is delayed nearly q day this week,
one of which was to catch, if possible,
the result of the operators and mi
ners' conference. The dilly-dallying,
however, over an hour for the meeting
has thrown us ont Of it at last, unless
we make q Sunday issue OF Saturdays
paper-an operation for which we
are entirely too truly good.
Demorest's Illustrated Monthly Mag
asine for June contains great deal
that will interest its readers. Itopens
with an admirable article, ''Bryr
Mawr College," which is profusely il
Illustrated, and which fully describes
this new college for women in Penn
sylvania. "Old Antwerp" which i.
also illustrated is another readable
article, and so is "Through Normandy
by Diligence" The serial, "a Strange
Girl, is concluded and Jennie Jun.
contributes paper on "Trainet
| Nurses and Nursing." These articles
with others of a miscellaneous nature
poems, fashions, and various depart
ments make up remarkably goot
number of this admirable magazine
The frontispiece is fine oil picture
Butterflies"
The new Council dived into business
with u will last Monday evening
There was some plain talk, which, il
kept up and acted on, will induce some
folks to ''look leedle oud."
Read all the new advertisements
this week.
B. Stern & Co. have placed new
and tasteful sign over the entrance to
THEN store door. We wish the fashion
for signs would como down to such pro-
portions and become matter of taste as
in other matters. The street disfgure-
ments would be far less numerous and
conspicuous.
A new roof was this week put on
the Presbyterian Church.
fe'so'tai.-The JOURNAL enjoyed Il
brief interview with His Grace, Arch
bishop James Gibbons, Of the Diocese
of Baltimore, during his visit here We'd
ne"day and Thursday. The Arch
bishop is fifty years old, OF slight build,
benevolent features, soft voice and
fluent tongue. He carries the marks
of close study and his conversation in
dicates 4 mind devoted to practical
rather than theoretical researches.
His opportunities of observation in the
new and old worlds have been alike
extended, and his contacts with all
phases of character, race and creed,
have made him an entertaining and
Instructive conversutionahst. Four
trips across the ocean have easily per-
suaded him that america, the last, is
also the best" 1t is thought probable
that the present is the last tour the
Archbishop will make of his Diocese,
as the time is not far distant when
most likely he will be made the Amer
lean Cardinal.
