General Order, No 3.
l. Again the day set apart by the Grand
Army of the Republic, and which by its
general observance in every state aud ter
rtory has now become national and sa-
cred holiday, is close at hand. 1t becomes
the duty Of all members of the Grand
Army, as also Of all veterans and all cti
zens Of this great republic, TO cast their
minds back to the days when the people Of
this whole country we're standing with sus
pended breath awaiting the result Of the
terrible conflict that was being waged for
the life blood Of this nation. In looking
back TO that terrible conflict and its days
and nights of unequalled anxiety, who of
those that were then living can fail to re
remember the faltering steps, the look of
wild despair Of the wife, as she hears the
dread tdings that her dearly beloved hus-
band has offered up his eblOod for his
country or the heart broken mother, as
she is told that her son, the pride and sup
port of her old age, lies buried in his shallow
grave, with only his army blanket for his
coffin. Only our Great Commander can

The World. Largest Flower.

In the farthest southeastern island of the
Philippine group. Mindinao, upon one of
its mountains, Parag, III the neighborhood
of the highest peak in the island, the vol
cano Apo, party of botanical and ethno-
graphical explorers found recently, at a
height $500 feet above the sea level, a CO.
lossal flower. The discoverer, DR.. Alexan-
der Schadenberg, could scarcely believe his
eyes when he saw amidst the low growing
bushes the immense buds Of this flower, like
gigantic brown cabbage heads
But he was still more astonished when he
found a specimen in full bloom-a five pet.
aled flower nearly yard in diameter, as
large as a carriage wheel, in fact. This
enormous blossom was borne on a sort of
vine, creeping on the ground 1t was
known by the native who accompanied DR..
Schadenburg who called it Bo o. The par
ty had no scale by which the weight of the
flower could be ascertained but they impro-
vsed a swinging scale, using their boxes
and specimens as weights. Weighing these
when opportunity served, it was found that
a single flower weighed over % pounds. 1t
was impossible to transport the fresh flow.
er, so the travellers photographed it and
dried number of its leaves by the heat OF
fire, DR.. Schadenberg then sent the pho
tographs and dried specimens to the Royal
Botanical Gardens at Breslau, where the
learned director Immediately recognized il
as species of Raiilesia, plant discovered
in Sumatra, and named after the English
governor, Sir Stamford Rallies.
The new flower was accordingly named
Ratfiesia Schadenbergia. The five petals Of
this immense flower are oval aud creamy
white and go around a centre filled witt
countless long violet hued stamens, thicker
and longer in the female, or fertile flowers
than in the infertile. The fertilization il
accomplished by insects whose larve breed
in the decaying flesh of its thick petals
The fertile flower develops soft berry-lik,
fruit, in which countless seeds are imbed
ded The flower exhales poisonous gas
even when first opened. httsJurg Bulletin

MINOR NOTES.

Pennsylvania will vote ON constitutional
prohibition on June 18th, aud Connecticut
will follow later. Its defeat in both states
is expected Eight states have already re-
jected the measure.
A Judge at New Bedford, Mass, refused
to issue final papers to liquor dealer who
applied for naturalization last year, ON the
ground that, having sold liquor to "a man
whom he knew To be of incorporate habits,
he was not person of good moral charac-
ter and therefore was not eligible to citizen
ship.
The body of Mary, the mother of Wash
ington, lies buried in Il plot of ground at
Fredericksburg, Va. As the place is liable
to he sold and pass into hands that would
not preserve it, plan is on foot to form an
association to buy the grave and mark it
for all time with suitable monument. Out
of due regard for Washington's reverential
respect for his mother, it would be a fitting
tribute TO his memory to rescue her grave
from the chances of public or private sale.
The South Carolina Episcopalians have
apparently come 10 "A compromise ON the
color question. 1t will be remembered that
last year the general convention was brok-
en- up because colored delegate demanded
seat He was duly elected, and about
half of the members refused 10 put him

The tour of inspection which Secretary of
War Proctor is now making among the
military of the west calls attention to new
policy which the war department has adopt
ed. Thus far the scanty army has been
scattered through the west TO act as a po
lice force in regulating Indian affairs. As
the Indian outbreaks grow fewer, and the
country becomes settled, there is less need
of such precautions, and the department
will concentrate the soldiers where they can
he maintained at less expense and kept in
better training. The rapid growth of rail
roads in the west makes it possible 10 move
troops quickly, and it is thought that they
can now he prolitably massed at some con
venient station near the frontier. Since
the Haymarket riots at Chicago business
men out there have been anxious to secure
IA military station near that city. Mem
bers of the Chicago club raised $500, 900 and
bought Highwood park, 26 miles from that
city, aud gave it to the government for that
purpose. Glen. Sheridan, who had been II
resident Of Chicago, naturally favored the
plan, and $500, 900 was appropriated for
laying out the military station, which is
to he known AS Fort Sheridan, \ company
of soldiers has been living in tents there for
some time, but preparations are now being
made to erect permanent barracks for six
companies of infantry aud two of cavalry.
\ fine parade ground will be laid out, and
whurves are to be built out into the lake.
The barracks will he constructed 50 as To
allow for additional buildings doubling their
capacity

For ways that are dark and for tricks that are
vain.
The Hrathen Chinr- is peculiar"
1t will be recalled that, not very long
ago. after "a railroad eighty five miles long
had been constructed in China and opened
To traffic, aud while the surveyors were at
work upon an extension Of the line, fur
ther operations were suddenly forbidden,
aud that this action Of the government
was due in part to the assertion of the
court astrologers that disastrous fire in
imperial palace at Pekin had been caused in
some supernatural way by the building Of
the road already opened Recent mails
seem to throw some light upon the real
cause Of this fire and the motives Of the as.
tute astrologers or their supporters among
the conservatives. The fire appears u have
been the work Of an incendiary. The de
stroyed building, it is said, contained the
unaudited accounts Of many years, which
were to be examined shortly, owing to the
Emperor's accession, and also a large quan.
tity Of silks furs, and other valuables be-
longing to the Crown, which were also
about to he checked. 1t is suggested that
the accounts would not bear investigation
that the silks and furs had long ago disap-
peared, that several high personages were
connected with the frauds, and that to get
out Of the difficulty the building was set on
fire and destroyed, with all its contents.
After having made effective use of the
warning of the astrologers, those who op.
posed the introduction of railroads declared
in memorial to the Throne that railways
had been found so dangerous in Europe
that the authorities were tearing them up
China to build roads in order that they
might sell in the Celestial Empire the rail,

out. This year they propose to let him in,
but to fix things 50 that no other colored
man shall ever be admitted except 10y ma
jority vote Of the convention.
Herbert Spencer, who has been investi.
eating the manner in which members Of
the present English House Of Commons
were chosen, says that 1870 Of the go men
constituting that body are agents Of cor
porations, particularly railroads Not only
were the election expenses of these 1SO
paid by the corporation, but each is paid a
salary while in Office by the corporations.
Their whole political course is then dictated
by the corporations This is not an en-
couraging statement to come from coun-
try which enjoys the alleged benefits of un-
restricted free trade and an ideal civil ser
vice. 1t will bother our American theo-
rists who claim that trasts and monopolies
are the direct outgrowth of our protective
gystnu,

The Real PrscIou. Minerals.

The magnificent sum of $20s, 900, 900,
which represents the value at the mines of
the coal produced in the United States in
1888, exceeds the gold yield of the entire
country for the last six years, and nearly
equals the combined gold and silver output
of our mines for two years and half.
Coal and iron are today the real precious
minerals of the civilized world, and, next
to the wealth of fertile land possessed by
the United States, the unbounded resources
Of the nation in fuel and in the most famil
lar of metals are its chief guaranty of en-
during greatness and prosperity .-Ciece-
