GRAND ARMY MATTERS. - The rapid
growth Of the Grand Army Of the Repub-
lie during the past two or three years is
really remarkable. The Union veterans all
over the country seem to be banding them
selves together for the purposes of fra
ternity, charity and loyalty. In Sacra-
mento the Order keeps pace with the times
and has made rapid strides during the past
two years. The organization Of Warren
Post a year and half since has brought
some fifty old vets" into the Order, while
old Sumner Post-one of the original Posts
on the coast-has mustered in since Janu-
airy /, 1884, one hundred and thirteen
new recruits" and now numbers one
hundred and Sky members. A muster
at every meeting is now the rule, and has
been since the date above mentioned. At
their meeting this week further steps were
taken towards making arrangements for
the proper observance of Memorial Day,
which occurs May Both, and the following
named comrades were appointed a commit
tee to act jointly with like number from
Warren Post: Senior Vice Department
Commander II. A. Burnett, G. II. Stephen
son, C.. H. Hubbard o. 7. Dodge, ID. n.
Thorpe and Post Commander J. i. Skin
ner. The Post also voted unanimously to
No II. for the use of the hall for an enter
tainment on Thursday evening, April 10th,
and TO accept the invitation of the ladies
to be present on the occasion.
YIN. G. A-From lack of financial and
personal aid, caused to great extent by so
large number of men being out of EN-
ployment since the reduction at the rail
road shops, the Young Mems Christian
Association has given up its rooms on
Fourth street, and suspended its work for
the summer, expecting to resume again IN
the fall. 1t is a matter OF regret that an
institution carried on for the benefit Of
homeless and other young men should be
allowed to cease active work for even SO
brief season. There are many young
men who have been saved from u down
ward career, and others in need and dis
couraged have been provided for and fur
nished honorable employment under the
efforts of the Association The Holiness
Mission has rented the rooms in the St.
George building which have been occupied
by the 7. NJ. G. A, and propose to continue
the free reading room the same as hereto
fore conducted. s. D. Fuller, late Secre-
tary of the Association, will visit Colfax
two or three weeks for his health before
znaE5ng definite arrangements for locating
elsewhere.
