GIRAFFE'S MEMORY.

Hs~ He Instantaneously Recognized His
Tormentor of n Year Ago.
The funniest thing l ever saw or
heard of in connection with the men,
ory of animals happened one year
when was out West with travelling
menagerie. You've heard, of course,
how elephants will remember an in
suit twenty years, some say longer.
Well, this little incident concerned a
giraffe and giraffes, you know, are
not generally credited with much
sense, any way. to say nothiug of men,
Ory. But this one showed great deal
of the latter quality, any way. We had
got as far as Rock Island, ILL.,, where
we had to cross the Mississippi on an
old ferry, that being before the big
Government bridge was built there.
Everything went all right until we
came TO this giraffe. He wouldn't go
on the ferry. COaxing, soaring, push
ing, beating did no good. He simply
lay down on the river bank and would
not bulge. While | was working over
him the ferry made another trip. When
she came back up gets MI. Giraffe as
spry as you please the first time
l urged him and marched straight
on to the ferry. Several peo-
pie who had been on the boat the trip
before and seen the giraffe's queer ca
pers on the other side of the river were
waiting to see what kind of luck had
Well, the boat was fifty feet or so from
the down shore when that giraffe hap
pened to turn his head toward the
landing and see those people. He gave
a giraffe trumpet, and, before | knew
what he was doing, jumped over the
rail into the water. 1t took three
quarters of an hour to pull him out.
Now, what do you think was the mat
ter with that giraffe? l discovered it
while the crowd was gathering around
the rescued animal below the dock.
Among the people was one tall, slim
young fellow that the giraffe seemed
to have a particular aversion to.
When he saw the young man near him
he began to tremble violently, and
make desperate efforts TO break away.
/ questioned the young man. and |
found that a wear before he had crossed
on the ferry-boat with this menagerie
There was a giraffe among the animals
on the lower deck, and his head had
stretched away up to the passenger
deck of the ferry, where the young
man was sitting with some friends.
AS the giraffe's long neck had come
twisting around in his direction he had
been cruel enough to take quid ot
tobacco and throw it down the giraffe s
open mouth. No doubt it was the
same giraffe l had with me then, and
no doubt, too, he recognized his tor
mentor the instant his eyes fell on him.

THE SIGNAL SERVICE.

History of the Organization of This Use
fuI Aid to Our MiIitarT system.
The Signal Service of the Unite(
States was first made known in 1859
Major Myer. then an assistant surgeon
in the United States army, announced
his dis ;overy of system of signals by
which orders of information could be
transmitted by sight or by sound over
distances varying from one to fifteen
miles with the most perfect accuracy.
The messages could be transmitted
either by firing cannon, waving flags,
displaying lanterns, throwing up rock
cts or even waving forage caps. Small
flags were regarded as the most simple
means of thus telegraphing, and with
an equipment weighing but sixteen
pounds and an opera-glass messages
were easily transmitted seven or eight
miles. The system was fully tested by
different officers, and in June, 1859. it
was proposed in the Senate to establish
the grade of ''signal officer" that the
inventor might have a su table rank.
and instruct others in this art of tel6,
graphing by sight or by sound. The
''secret" of the system was an ingeni-
Gus cipher. the characters of which
were expressed by emotions or by
sounds, with repetitions and diff rent
intervals of time elapsing. The prOpo-
sition met with favor both in the SEN
ate and in the House. Senator Crit
tenden hoped "to give the young officer
who has brought this system to such
perfection that it will be useful in the
army, position which will enable him
to introduce and familiarize the use of
it." Senator Wilson and others also
urged the appointment. Jefferson
Davis bitterly opposed it He even
sneered at the proposed appointment
as anomalous in the military service
and improper, and if the doctor had
been an educated soldier he never
would have thought of such a reward"
Mallory echoed Davis in denouncing
the appointment as ga high-handed at
tempt on the esprit de corps of the
army" and others joined him. but the
signal corps was established, the SEN
ate vote being thirty-one against TWEEN
ty-four. Davis Immediately had Major
Myer ordered by Floyd, of New Mexi-
co, and directed to communicate the
system of signal to those who after
wards so adroitly used it in the Con-
federate forces. Major Myer remained
loyal, came to Washington, and at
once so changed and revised his sys-
tenn Of cipher that it was perfectly un-
ineligible to all not in his secret. A
signal corps was organized of Lieuten-
ants and scrgeants, detailed from diff
ferent regiments. They were en-
camped at Red Hill. just above George
town, and there thoroughly trained.
Each adjutant was also initiated into
the system, and the penalty for disclos-
ing it, except under orders, to friend |
or foe, was death The corps WAS of |
great value during the war, but Gen
eral Myer lived but a few years after
wards, having meanwhile perfected |
his invention and added to it weather
reports.-BeH: PerLey POOre, in Boston

The Salvation Army.

General Booth, of the Salvation
hsmy. gave a Toronto reporter this
account OF the naming of the Army:
lone of my secretaries was writing a
little tract, describing the movement.
and he wrote on the title page: The
Christian mission is volunteer army ,
L leaned over his shoulder. took the
pen out of his hand, crossed out the
word volunteer and wrote Salvation. >
We liked the sound of it, seeing that it
really described what the organization
was-a body formed and united after
the fashion of an army, with the pur-
puse of delivering men from sin and
the devil. So we adopted the name
Salvation Army nine or ten years ago.
The terms General. Captains, Lieuten-
ants, etc, soon followed. The drums,
flags, banners and the like were adopted
gradually, in carrying on the purpose
of attracting the people. IN. T. San.

UNION MISSIONARY SERVICE.

Last evening the Bethel Union
congregation united with the con-
gregation of Fort-street church in a
home missionary service. There
was pretty full attendance. The
devotional exercises were conducted
by Revs. A. o. Forbes, j. A. Cru
zan, and j. NJ. Alexander, and the
last-named preached the sermon.
Taking the Parable of the Leaven as
his text, the preacher cited q series
of the Lords parallels that set forth
the mighty results achieved by
seemingly small means. A band Of
unlettered apostles had deposited
the leaven of the gospel in the great
Roman world, and it worked so
effectually that million martyrs
died for the faith in that universal
empire. About million dollars had
been expended in missions to these
Islands-what would scarcely fit out
a modern ironclad or start line of
steamers-and the investment had
paid, morally, socially, and in
every way. There was room for
the expenditure of another million
here, to conserve and promote the
good work already begun. Matters
were not as they should be, and the
mission should be literally sustained
by the Christian public. AS Newton
had said: ~ am not what l was; l
am not what l should be; / am not
what ! shall be: but, by the grace
of God, am what l am;' so was
the present spiritual condition of
these Islands. The circumstances
of modern times were making home
and foreign missions identical in
their operation and results. One of
the best Christian missionaries in
China was a native of that country
who had been converted abroad,
and it was said that many Christian
Chinese had gone from these Islands
to help missions in their own land.
This kingdom, like the United
States, was receiving great variety
of natlonalities into its population,
and it was vast problem for Chris
tians to solve, how the leaven of the
gospel was to be put in operation
among peoples of such diversified
kindreds and tongues. AT the close
of the sermon collection for mis-
sions was taken. 1t was announced
that Rev. w. G. Merritt would adj
dress union meeting on the subject
Of foreign missions next Sunday
evening. Also, that the Hawaiian
Evangelical Association would begin
it annual session at Kawaiahao
Church on Tuesday morning, and
that the annual social tea of the
Hawaiian Board would take place in
the parlors of Fort-street Church on
Thursday evening, to which house
keepers were asked to contribute
the necessary pabulum.

DECORATION DAY.

Decoration Day was observed on
Saturday with appropriate cere-
monies. The Legislative Assembly
adjourned at II o'clock, in honor of
the event. The George w. De Long
Post No. 40, Department of Califor-
mia, met at their hall on King street,
at 2 o'clock. A detachment of
police, the Royal Hawaiian Band
and military companies commanded
by Major Hoapili Baker, the Kings
Own, the Honolulu Rifles, and CON-
missioned officers of the Queens
Own, drew up in front of the
Post room. Being joined by the
Post, the whole body marched in
procession to the Nuuanu Cemetery.
A platform had been erected on the
Eva side of the cemetery. The pro-
cession arriving at the platform,
formed about it in hollow square.
Here Post Commander r. w. Laine
delivered an eloquent address in
every respect suitable to the occa-
sion. The speaker showed the APP
propriateness of the Decoration Day
observances and the great results
achieved by the services of the fallen
patriots whose memories care ever
kept green as the grassy covering
under which they rest" After the
address followed the ritual of the G.
A. r. for the dead. The graves of
the dead soldiers were decorated,
and salutes fired over them. The
band played appropriate music
while marching to the cemetery and
at intervals during the ceremonies
there. The procession marched
back to the Post room and was dis
missed.
In the evening at 1880 o'clock,
the Y. Nj. G. A. hall was closely
packed with deeply interested au-
dience. The stars and stripes hung
on the wall over the platform, also
portraits of General Grant and Lieu
tenant George w. belong.
A piano solo, by Miss Lulu Joran
opened the programme. The Post
was called to order, and the Cen
eral Orders read. The roll call of
the Post and the roll call of the
dead were called, and the salute to
the dead given. Then followed a
fine quartette by Mrs. Hanford,
Mrs. Judd and Messrs. Hall and
Yarndley. In the absence of the
commander, his address of welcome
was read by Comrade Rev. j. A.
Cruzan, who conducted the exercises
of the evening. An able address
was delivered by His Excellency
Geo. w. Merrill, United States Min.
lister Resident. The speaker, among
other things observed "that the roll
call is growing shorter and shorter,
the ranks thinner, and that ere long
only one company can be mustered
and that in single rank, while soor
thereafter Memorial Day will come
and 90 with no officer or even pri
vate of that Grand Army to call the
roll or scatter flower over the dus
which covers their bones.
But when the last comrade shall
be called to bivouac beyond the por
tails Of the tomb, will there be NJ
one to cover them over with beau
