IN the current number of the North
American Review, Gail Hamilton fiays
the Prohibitionists in lively style. This
is the conclusion at which Miss Dodge
arrives:
What political prohibition has thus
far done may be summed up: By ð-
DDS not only antagonistic, but quarrel
some sometimes even to the borders of
scurrility by Misrepresentation that
charity alone can attribute to misunder-
standing, it has shamed its own prophe-
cies, destroyed its own harmony, depict
ed its own ranks, vitiated it's own laws.
defeated the party from which all pro-
hibitory legislation has come, enthroned
the party by which all prohibitory legs ,
lation has been opposed. This it can
continue to do indefinitely; but no pro-
testation on the part of its leaders, and
no delusion on the part of it's followers,
can alter the fact that it is working in
the interests of intemperance, and not in
the interests of temperance. No intelli-
gent observer can fail to recognize its
character and its tendency"

CURRENT ANECDOTES.

A LADY MAKING TOAST AT THE CAMP
FIRE.
Many of the surviving veterans Of the
old Massachusetts 9th Regiment will
doubtless rem omber the following incl
dent of their camp life in Alexandria.
One day Northern lady whose noble
heart bled to see the sufferings of the
heroes who we're fighting for their coun-
try's honor, visited the camp just as the
boys were preparing their evening
meal. A large fire had been built for
the purpose of cooking coffee and toast>
ing bread. One poor fellow who was so
sick that he could hardly move crawled
painfully to the fire with a slice of bread
stuck upon the end of bayonet. He
had approached from the leeward, but
did not have strength enough to crawl
out of the smoke. The lady took the
impremptu toasting fork from his hand
and soon returned the bread toasted to a
delicate shade of brown. Looking up
sic SdW dlOOlcI COH1l duC CQuiPpCu III
like manner standing by her side, look
ing wistfully at the toast and then At
his own slice of bread. She could not
refuse the silent appeal and the second
slice was toasted in like manner.
Before she left that block of wood she
had toasted seven or eight loaves of
bread, and the hungry veterans had n
feast that reminded them of home cont
forts. After the toasting process was
completed, the lady looked behind her
and there beheld two or three companies
of the regiment seated in a semi-circle
around her dsvouring toast like hungry
children. She says that she locks back
upon that supper with the Massachusetts
9th Regiment as one of the plessantest
events of her ife.-Boston Journal.

DECORATION DAY.

Abeve the dear, brave hearts that cease
to beat,
Let loving hands strew flowers on ev-
cry mound
Within the lines of the still camping
ground,
Where there is no assault, and no retreat,
And victory is not followed by defeat.
Unbroken rest and peace at last are
found,
No clash of swords, no trumpet's thrill
ling sound,
Nor roar of guns disturb their slumbers
sweet.
Their deeds are writ on mem'ry's sa-
cred scroll;
And patriot love shall touch these hearts
of ours,
When. at their graves, fame comes to
call the roll,
And hope and love and honor scatter
flowers,
Brave souls survive the storms of shot
and flame;
Their furlough blossoms in eternal
fame.

A GREAT many napkins and other ar
ticles of usefulness are now made in
Europe from the bark of the paper mul :
berry. The bark for these purposes is
first dried in the air for two or three
days, then plunged for twenty-four hours
into current of fresh water, after which,
with the aid of particular kind of cord,
the two species of fbres of which it is
composed are separated. The interior
fbres are those from which fine paper is
made; they are rolled into balls weigh
ing about thirty five pounds each, which
are washed anew ir running water, ia
which they are allowed to soak for
shorter time than previously, and are
then dried; finally they are boiled in lye
made from the ashes of buck W heat -four,
constant stirring being kept up; another
washing in pure water earres away the
last impurities, and the fibres are next
pounded with hammers of wood for
about twenty minutes; after this they
are second time rolled into balls, and
finally transformed into pulp, rice water
being mixed with it. The subsequent
treatment of the pulp is identical with
that of the ordinary manufacture of pa
per. Leather paper is obtained by the
superposition of many sheets of the ma
telial, previously stepped in "yonoko,"
pressed, and glazed with "shellas."

TINES GRAND ROUNDS.

Around our cannon silent lips
The flowers of peace are trailing,
Our flag on forts and stately ships,
This summer day is sailing.
No prouder flag in sunshine waves,
And none with grander story,
Our hearts recall our fallen braves
Who followed it to glory.
Above the battery's smoking gun,
Above the bayonets streaming.
Ger fortressed heights their valor won,
They saw its stars out cleaning,
They watched its graceful folds, above
The cannon's sulphurous breath,
And where it lead, with fearless tread,
They followed it to death.
By low lagoon, through cypress swamps,
By streams of sluggish flowing,
Deserted forts, forsaken camps,
By fields of cotton blowing,
In dewy nights, and dusty days,
We boys who wore the blue
For union and for liberty
We bore the old flag through.
Not pride alone wells in our hearts,
Those glorious deeds recalling;
The fonts of memory break apart,
And many tears are falling;
Remembering comrades strong and brave
Who in the battle tide,
Went down beneath its deadly wave,
And for the old flag died.
Not only those who slumber here,
Shall have our thought and caring,
We think of comrades just as dear,
AS noble and as daring,
Who sleep this day in sunny lands,
In swamp, and field, and dell;
In graves dug by their comrades hands,
Just where they fought and fell.
Oh! comrades tried in furnace heat,
old comrades firm and true;-
With conscious pride our pulses beat,
For We have worn the blue,
And dearer, fairer. to our sight,
More precious every way,
That oridamme of truth and right,
Tho old flag seems to say.
We rest in peace beneath its folds,
We SOW and reap our grain.
We have No fear that war is near,
To summon US again;
No fear that in the midnight gloom,
The bugle notes will sweep,
The musket's crash, the cannOn's boom,
Will wake US from our sleep. E
For US the toilsome march is Ger,
The touch of elbow past,
But friendships made where cannODs
roar.
Are friendships to the last;
And as we clasp the hands around,
Old faces gaze upon,
Well not forget, the bravest yet,
The comrades who are gone.
And here beneath this summer sky,
We bring our gift of flowers,
To deck the graves wherein they lie,
Those comrades brave of ours,
May summer breeze, and summer air,
And summer bud and bloom,
And kindly natures tender care,
Bedeck each hero's tomb.
Year after year in Times Grand Rounds,
And as returns this day,
May grateful hands upon these mounds,
Their floral tributes lay.
Upon each grave, where sleep the brave,
May the warm sunshine fall,
And o'er them the old banner wave,
For which they peried all.

A STATESMAN'S DEATH.
Ex Secretary F. L. Frelinghuysen
Joins the Great Majority.

NEWARK, n. j., May 20-Ex-Secretary
Freiinghuyssn died this evening. Mr..
FreliDghuysen was unconscious all day
and passed away quietly, dying without
by his entire family. He died in the
stupor in which he has lain almost
throughout his entire Illness.
Frederick T. Frelinghuysen was a na>
tive of New Jersey, having been born in
Milltown, of that State, August 4, 1917.
When quite young he was adopted by
his uncle, Theodore Frelinghuysen. The
latter was also native of MilItown, and
at one time figured prominently in the
politics of New Jersey, having been from
1877 to 1929 its Attorney General. In
1914 he was the unsuccessful candidate
of the Whig party for Vice President.
He was man whose acts were ever reg
ulated by exalted moral and religious
principles. Young Frelinghuysen en-
tered Rutgers College, of which his
uncle was at that time President, and
graduated therefron in 1886. Shortly
after this be began the study of law in
company with Joseph p. Bradley, now
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court
of the United States, and Cortlandt Par
ker, who holds high rank at the New
Jersey bar. The trio were admitted to
the bar together in 1889. Ia 1861 Mr..
Frelinghuysen was appointed Attorney
General of New Jersey. Upon the death
of Senator William Wright, in 1866. he
was appointed to fill the vacancy, and in
1867 was elected for the rest of the term
which expired in 1869. In the following
year be was chosen Senator for the term
beginning March 4, 1871, and ending
March 8, 1877. He was offered the posi-
tion of Minister to Great Britain by
President Grant, but declined, and the
position of Minister to St. Petersburg
offered him by President Hayes, he like
wise rejected. When the Garfield cabi-
net resigned, he was appointed Secretary
of State by President Arthur. His adj
ministration Of that department was a
clean one, and he secured the respect of
all with whom he associated. Toward
the close of Arthur's administration, Mr..
Frelinghuysen was seriously indisposed,
but such was his sense of duty that he
continued the arduous requirements of
his office in spite of his illness. AS Sec
retary of State his house become the
rendezvous of the fashionableS at Wash
ington, and the receptions were always
crowded.
His death leaves noticeable gap in
the rapidly lessening cluster of men
whose fight for freedom made them
prominent.
SYMPATHY AND COND0LENCE.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 29.-Upon
receipt of the intelligence of the death
of ex-Secretary Frelinghuysen, Secretary

from each and all of US expressions of

THE Ordnance Board of the u. s.
Army has recommended the construc-
tion, at cost of $4,000, of huge war
balloon of an ascending power of seven
tons. 1t will measure 1856 feet in length
and 60 in diameter, with pointed ends
like great cigar. The motive power is
to be compressed air, with which it is
expected that speed of 80 miles an hour
can be attained. The balloon can be
steered and raised or lowered at will
without the use of ballast. Gen. Russell
Thayer of Philadelphia, is the inventor.
and has received orders to commence the
work at once. He claims that such d
machine loaded with dynamite percus
cuSsion bombs could lay city in ashes
in single night, or demolish a hostile
fleet at its pleasure. If it prove to be all
that is claimed for it, the trade of war
is ruined, for no power could withstand
such terrible ouEtue OF destructlon.
