A Tribute 30 Our Honored DEAD


How bright are the hOnOrs which await
those who with sacred fort tude and
pa riOtic patience have endured al things
that they might save their native land
from division. and from the power of
corruption. The hOnOred dead They
that die for a good cause are redeemed
fir m death. Their names are gathered
and garnered. Their memory is precious.
Each plac grows proud for them who
were born there. There is to be, ere long,
in every village, and in every neighbOr-
hood, a glowing pride in its martyred
heroes. Tablets shall pre- erve their
names. PiOus love shall renew their in
scriptiOns as time and the unfeeling ele-
ments efface them. And the national
names to the orator. lips Children shall
grow up under more sacred inspirations,
whose elder brothers dying nObly for their
country, / TT a name that hOnOred and
inspired all who bore it, Orpha child
rem shall find tho sands Of fathers and
mothers to love and help those whom
dying heroes left as a legacy to the graft
tude of the publ C. Oh tell me not that
they are d ad-that generous host, that
airy army Of Invisible heroes. They
hover as a cloud of witnesses above this
nation. Are they dead that yet speak
louder than we can speak, and a more
universal language Are they dead that
yet act Are they dead that yet move
upon society, and inspire the people with
nObler motives and more heroic atriOtism?
@ that mourn, Ietg mess mingIe with
your tears. He was yO1r son; now he is
the nation s. He made your no sehOld
bright: now his example inspires a thou
sand households. J. ear to his brothers
and sisters, he is now brother to every
generous youth in the land. Before, he
was narrowed ap rOpriated, shut up to
you. Now he au ment d, set free. and
given to all. Before he was yours, now
he is ours He has died from the family
that he might live to the nation. NOt one
name shall be forgotten or neglected; and
it shall by-and-by be confess of or
modern heroes, as it is of an ancient hero.
that he did more for his country by his
de tn than by his whole life.
Neither are they .6ss hOn0Ted who shall

in 4 good cause. Many a man sha envy
him who hencefOrJh limps. So strange is
the Transforming power of patriO lie ardOr
that men shall almost cOvet dis gurement.

A c ointment OF Coal.

Cor. Boston Globe.
Thirty years ago there were less
than 100000 tons Of coal a year
taken out of the anthracite regions of
Pennsylvania; last year the output
was 100000 tons. an average in
crease Of over 1000, 900 tons a year.
In spite of this enormous output
the coal beds OF that region are hard
ly opened yet, and Pennsylvania
alone is estimated to have coal enough
inside it's limits to last the whole
world for 5000 years to come.
This is not all. The whole CONT
nent of North America Is nothing but
big coal sandwich. Under the lodges
of the Rocky Mountains, below the
prairies Of the great West AMI sup
porting also the farmlands of Ontario
and the virgin forests of British
Columbia, are billions of tons of coal,
waiting for the miner to come and dig
it. Prof Hitchcock. IN his Geology
says that reckoning on the present
rate of increase IN the eaFth's pOpula-
ton, there is coal enough in the
United States alone to supply all the
inhabitants OF the globe for 333. 333
years to come.

The awful explosion of the steamer

which nearly two thousand c Mon soldiers
lost their lives has always been mystery.
The survivors at their reunions have re-
Gently made a number of statements re-
garding the a1ar. but the most sensa-
tiOnal story has been told by a resident of
this city. William c. StTeeter. His state
ment fixes the exa los on as the result Of
design. He says that a noted nfedeF-
ate blockade T nner AMI mail carrier
named Robert LOWden, better kn 5wn dur
ing the war as Charles Dale, was he
author of the terrible disaster. Streeter
asserts that LOWden t Id him after the
close of the war, at while the SuItana
lay at Memphis wharf he smlgg ed
aboard a large lump Of coal in q hich was
concealed q torpedo. This he depO sited
in the uel in rOnt of the boilers for
the express purpose Of causing the de-
struCtiOn Of the boat Whether the re-
spOnsibility f-r the awful or me rested
solely with LOWden. or whether he was
acting under the direction Of others,
StIeeber is unable to say. LOWden had
an adventurous career, being captured
several times while running blOckades
and once narrowly escaping execution.
What has become Of him is not known.

The ancient Prussian custom of hold
ing "black drawing room" after the
mOnarch's death has been hOnOred in
in Prussia. so soon as the king was dead,

ministers, and the court generally, re-
paired in full dress to the palace. The
first rooms they entered were brilliantly
lit up, but gradually, as they went

came DINNER and DINNER, till this last
being reached it was found in semi
darkness. Around the throne were
grouped a series of waxwork figures,
deeply yelled with black, representing
the chief members of the new court,

SOlemnly passed, bowling themselves out
backwards. The wisdom of dropping
such grOtesque mummery is scarcely
open to questiOn.-LOndOn Life.
