The Germania Singing Soeiety's picnic
on the State Fair Grounds yesterday
afternoon was as enjoyable success us
anybody could have wished, until the
rain came up in the evening, which
made things little unpleasant, About
1000 people were present, including the
Allegheny City Snngerbund, which
came down on an excursion over the
Baltimore & Ohio as guests Of the
Beethoven. The Jumbo balloon which
the Arion society was to have sent up ut
lis picnic, but failed to on account Of
rain, was sent up by the Germania peo-
pie, who bought it Of the Arion.

The game of ball played at Island
Park yesterday afternoon by the Globes,
OF Bellaire, and the Cyclones, Of this
city, for the local championship, was
won by the Globes by score OF to ..
1t was quite an interesting game and
there were several plays made that
brought forth round OF applause from
the crowd, which numbered about 200.
The work OF both pitchers was excel
lent. Kennedy, for the Globes, pitched
a ball that was straight and deceptively
swiit-so swift, in fact, that his
catcher was often unable to hold
him. Reiver did some very pretty curv-
ing and at times was quite swift he APP
parently has the making OF first class
pitcher. The Bellaire boys batted and
iielded better than the home team, hay
ing had the benefit OF more practice. A
bad throw made by Laird from short to
first, let in two runs, and another thing
that operated against Wheeling was the
umpiring of Mr.. Barrett, OF Bellaire, his
base decisions being against Wheeling
in three or four instances. The score
was as follows:

AN UNEXPECTED ARRIVAL.

Just before Mr.. Campbell was pre-
sented, the sound OF brass band was
heard, and Spangler Post, G. A. R., OF
Bellaire, and the Wenner cadets, Of the
high school there, in command OF Prof.
Wenner marched down Chapline street
and swelled the throng. This was I'M
expected, and proved IN agreeable sur
prise. The cadets drilled after the exer-
ciSes, and won many compliments.
Judge r. II. Cochran, OF Toledo, him
self an old soldier boy, was seen in the
crowd on the portico from which the
speaking took place, and in answer to
calls he was introduced, and made a
ringing, characteristic soldier speech.
The audience and soldiers then sang
"America," and heprocession was again
formed, and the posts, alter escorting
the Bellaire delegation to the wharf,
where it embarked for home, returned
to their halls and disbanded.
Taken all in all the celebration was
highly creditable one. The citizens
spontaneously put out their flags till the
decoration was quite general. The taste
full manner in which the Public Build
ing and Soldiers Monument were dec
grated was especially creditable.

OF War was directed to cause each grave
to be marked with q small head stone or
block OF marble with the'number OF the
grave cut on it, and this number was TO
correspond with the number opposite
the name OF the party on the superin-
tendent's mortuary register kept in his
office, and on it also was to appear the
name, the rank, the company and regi-
ment; the time and place OF death, II
known; and il not known the stone was
TO be marked Unknown"
The lands on which the cemeteries are
located were regularly purchased from
their owners and Jurisdiction coded by
the State in which they are located to
the United States. AT most OF them i'm
tmense siege guns have been placed erect
upon granite pedestals and they form
appropriate and enduring monuments.
In each one OF them, also beautiful
flag staff has been erected from the top OF
which the National colors float above the
resting places OF the dead every day in
the year.
My friends, I have taken this liberty
with your patience OF presenting TO you
these details, because, as l said, think
all Of us ought to fully understand in
order that We may fully appreciate the
tender and reverent care which the gov
eminent has bestowed upon its dead
defenders. The example OF our govern
ment in this respect stands alone among
all the nations fthe earth. There are no
Memorial days in Europe in honor OF the
dead soldiersw who have persisted in their
great wars. This day is an institution OF
free people in free land. Kings and
Emperors care but little for the people
living or dead, but ours is "a govern
ment OF the people by the people and
for the people," And it is q part OF the
lesson fitted for this day, to teach the
young to appreciate what the govern
ment has done for its soldiers, living and
dead, SO that they may grow up with
love and loyalty in their hearts for their
government. We are to teach them to
grow up cherishing the sentiment and
feeling that "like as father pitieth his
children" so does this government pity
the fate and cherish the memory Of those
who die for it.
A government like ours, that has
maintained its faith so completely to the
soldiers OF the Republic living and dead,
and to their families, and that has dis
charged all its other obligations so
sCrupulously towards all who had faith
in its promises to pay in the day OF its
trouble will live forever, because it de-
serves to live in the affections Of its
people.

HINTS ON PUNCTUATION.
A Fine Art That Admits of Almost IIlimit
able Diversity.

AFine Art That Admits of Almost IIIimit
able Diversity.
The question, What are the best
authorities in punctuation?" is a diff
cult one to answer-indecd, I may say
unanswerable. Among those author
tiles with which [ am acquainted,
which are worth mentioning, L should
certainly place Wilson at the head.
The first in date is, of course, Lindley
Murray, and the next Gould Brown,
the latter of whom gives surfeit OF
examples; but both of these last two, as
say in the preface to my Treatise on
Punctuation" punctuate more stiffly
than do the best writer's of the present
day who pay any attention to the sub
ject In fact, over-punctGation is apt
to be fault of all who treat upon the
subject. Another good manual. but
brief, is given in the appendix to Prof.
A. S. Hills 'Principles OF Rhetoric
a textbook in Harvard College. j
have seen several Others, but all upon
the same pattern-based mainly upon
Wilson sand generally not worth
considering.
The ''fine points" in question would
usually, suppose. be those upon which
authorities might disagree; and this
very likely would add to ones perplex-
ity. In short. punctuation is sort OF
fine art and admits of as great diversity
as does the style of an author
The ideal sentence should be so
clearly written that it will punctuate
itself, or can not be mispunctuated.
Take, for instance, :. sentence of Dan
iel Webster's, and il could not be mis-
understood if no points whatever were
used. / wonder no more of his compo-
sition is given in our modern standard
school reading-books. The important
thing in an involved sentence is to
mark distinctly the different clauses.
parenthetical or other, so that the
reader can not fail To understand it
This an author can always do in his
own sentences But when an editor
comes to punctuate another's work il
IS absolutely necessary that he should
understand precisely what its author
means to say, as wrong comma oil
semi-colon NAV make him say what he
does not intend, or at least render has
meaning obscure. If every writer fol
the press should read over carefully
his sentences. and then punctuate by
dividing of his clauses, he would often
find that he had made serious mistakes
IN his grammar. WTitsT.
