THE GENERAL ORDERS,

Issued to the G.. A. r for Decoration Day.
In his general Decoration Day Order,
Adiutant. General Daniel Fisk says:
Although originally instituted by the
Grand Army of the Republic, as q means
of strengthening and preserving the frater,
nal ties incident to our union Of purpose
and effort in q noble cause, the beautiful
ceremonial born of our comradeship has
been so widely adopted by the loyal hearts
of the land that Memorial Day has become
a great national festival, in which tender
memories and patriot purposes rule the
hour.
The spirit and customs Of our order
impose upon all comrades the duty Of par
ticipatiug in the public recognition Of the
day. So far as practicable the usual avo-
cations will be Suspended and the occasion
marked by some appropriate observance
Though legally holiday in many depart
ments it is to be jealously guarded from all
appearance of merry making. and from all
forms of frivolous or uudiguifed bella
yior. Let it not be forgotten that
our comrades dead were earn
est, manly men, who voluntarily
faced death for cause worthy of the sac
rifee Let all known
graves of the men who fought for the
Union, on land or sea, be marked by the
pure blossoms OF spring, which in all
tongues speak the language Of gratitude
and love. Let the people be assembled for
special memorial services where eloquence
and song shall unite to teach and exem-
plify the duties and rewsrdn Of patriotism;
and 80 may the better angels of our Ms
ture' touching the tender chords Of mem
ory which stretch from every battlefield
and patriot grave to every living heart
and hearthstone all over this broad land
30 swell the chorus of the Union that no
discord shall ever again mar its glorious

KEMPLE's LECTURg.
He Entertsins Good-sized Audience for

He Eatertsins q Good-Sized Audience fol
Over an Hour with "Chestnuts."
On account OF some misunderstanding
the Opera House was not opened until
8 o'clock last evening, and great many
people left, thinking that Col. Kemple''
lecture was off; but when the doors die
open n good-sized audience Of ladies and
gentlemen rapidly assembled in the house,
snd were highly entertained for an hour OIL
so by the Colonel's lecture on "Chest'
nuts"
Most Of lecture was new and many oil
his subjects were people well known Ia
the city, whom the Colonel has never be-
fore introduced to his audiences, and while
he used some of his old stsnd-bys in new
roles, he made them as funny as ever. His
description of bicycle ride ont the pike
by two well-known gentlemen was decid-
eddy amusing, and q speech of a certain
gentleman in the Democratic convention
was highly enjoyed.
The Sheriffalty races we're put on in
good shape, there being trottiDg, q run
ming and a free for-sll race, 60 as you
please. The speaker gave pedigree of all
the horses entered, and caused q good deal
of amusement by his description of their
good points. After he got them all started
off in good time and shape, the Colonel
said he wanted to speak on subject that
was serious, and one that should receive
the earnest attention of all candidates.
He said there is a SYSTEM in vogue that is
damnsble and nefarious. 1t is the habit
of the hummer element Of the city organ
izing into parties and cliques with the
object of bleeding candidates for money
and lager beer. He thought such a prac-
tics should be wiped out, and that imme-
diately; and he urged upon the eandi-
dates now before the people, for the sake
of the moral good Of the city and for their
own sakes, TO meet one with the other and
decide to put stop to such proceedings.
The Colonel's remarks on this subject were
loudly applauded.
He then branched off into what he
termed a general lot of Chestnuts, in
which the peculiarities OF speech of
number of our citizens were presented to
his auditors.
Many of the gentlemen whom the
Colonel 80 perfectly initiated were present
and they seemed to enjoy it rs much az
the remainder of the audience, with the
exception of natural amount of embarass-
ment.
