ABOUT fifty girls were discharged
from the Chaplin Nut and Bolt Works,
Cleveland, Ohio, few days ago, be-
cause they were in constant danger of
having their dresses caught in the ma
chinery. The girls were not thankful
for their deliverance from accidental
deaths, and when the boys who were
hired to take their places went to
work the discharged maidens, assisted
by all their female relatives, assaulted
the new hands with bricks and clubs.
The boys, several of whom were
severely injured, took refuge inside the
building, which was then treated to
shower of missiles from the enraged
amazons. Several arrests were made,
but the offenders were discharged on
payment of costs and promising q
cessation of hostiities.

COLUMBIA COLLEGE, in New York
City, will permit young women to en-
ter an "annex" by passing the same
entrance examination as the young
men. The ladies who have the IAN
mex" in mind propose to furnish the
money to rent or build it. Columbia
College has nothing to do with the
money, the discipline or the manners of
the new annex" It has bargained to
furnish the learning only. The annex
is to be known as Barnard College.
The young ladies for the present will
be tethered to the course in arts.
Young ladies who want to be lawyers
or chemists or mining experts will still
be barred out of the university.

His daughters and the President him
self have tried to make him believe
that there is no longer any necessity
for his continuing to work. But he
can not be induced to surrender his
position. Shortly after the election
Mrs. Harrison wrote to her father ask
ing him to resign and saying as soon as
they came to Washington she would
expect him to live at the White House.
This letter was accompanied by q note
from General Harrison, who made the
same request, and was written in such
q cordial strain as to leave no doubt of
its sincerity. But the old gentleman
wrote to his daughter saying that while
he should be glad to be frequent Wis
itor at the White House he could not
think of spending the remainder of mis-
days in idleness. That because his
son-in-law was President made no
difference in his own position, and that
while he fully appreciated their kind
ness he could not think of rendering
his resignation. So every day DR..
Scott reaches his desk at the Pension
Office and works as faithfully as any
other clerk in the Office. His fellow
clerks say that his demeanor has not
changed bit since the event Of last
November. The venerable gentleman

A NEW substance called kelgum has
been invented as a substitute for rub
Der. The name comes from the first
syllable of the inventor, Henry Kel-
logg, Of New Haven, and the word
which represents his invention. It is
reported that this kelgum is water
proof, and will not harden or crack,
and is especially adapted for textile
fabrics. 1t is produced by removing
the unctuous matter from vegetable
soil so that a gummy residuum is left.

CIGAR boxes are supposed to be made
of Spanish cedar, but there is not
enough of the wood grown for the pur-
pose, and nearly all the boxes used by
American cigarmakers are made from
West Virginia poplar. The wood is
sawed up into thin boards, and the
cigarmakers dye them brown with
cedar extract, which gives the proper
color and odor.

Glorious years, whose splendor brightens the

ing upward from the grave,
And they still shall guide the nation which they
gave their lives to save,
For they did the deeds of Titans, and from shin.
ing sea to sea
Left our starry banner floating DER a land re-
deemed and free;
And where'er their bones are resting, tho their
name no mortal knows,
Liberty q shrine is keeping where the fire OF
freedom glows.
But, alas the mounds grow thicker with each
swift returning year,
And they sleep who stood beside US when the
last sweet May was here.
solsiers Of the great Grand Army! You who
once stood side by side
With the comrades who are sleeping meath the
flag for which they died,
You who marched through hailing bullets and
stood face to face with death,
Yet escaped from his embraces, though you felt
his fiery breath,
By the love you bore the comrade who fell by
your side that day,
Who had shared with you the marches and the
foray or the fray,
Guard the memory of the fa1len-keep it free
from every stain,
Let no envious tongue defame them and no
traitorous heart arraign;
Yours the triumph and rejoicing, and the VIC
tors crown of bay,
Theirs the suffering and the silence, and the
low-arched roof of clay;
Yours the joys of use and labor, but beneath
your marching feet
Lie their manhood's pride and valor, and their
hopes as fair and sweet;
Hearts that beat with love and daring, hands
that held sacred trust
And fulfilled it nobly grandly, now are only
heaps of dust
Since you marched with them to battle, shared
their danger and their pain,
You arc heirs of all their glory-let them not
have died in vain!
Soldiers of the Silent Army! You whose half
told days shall shine
On the calendar Of ages with radiance divine !;
You whose memory is the anchor of our coun-
try's m-tossed bark,
Binding her to truth and freedom when the skies
are yelled and dark;
You whose sightless eyes behold US, and whose
shadowy forms are near,
Rouse your spirits from their SAUNDERS and our
heartfelt pledges hear!
By the sky which arches DER you, bright with
summers loveliest blue,
By the garlands that We bring you smiling
through their tears of dew,
By each fond remembrance clinging to the
earthly forms you wore,
By each heart that broke with anguish when
you fell to rise no more,
By each hope that faded with you from loves
shining morning sky,
By each life whose joy departed when you laid
you down to die,
By the banner that you gave us, free from every
spot and stain,
Never, while the crimson life-blood courses
swiftly through each vein,
Shall the land which you enfranchised bear
tyrant or slave
While its soil supports q footstep or Its depths
afford gravel

A National yearly PILGRIMAGE.

Its colors with those of buds and blossoms, and
Is monument OF Gods past goodness and q
prophecy of His continued mercy.
On the twenty-frst Decoration Day of history
the roll of the famous dead includes Thomas,
Garfield, Hancock, Grant, Logan, and Sheridan
But one of the great leaders, Sherman survives,
and, however sadly his thoughts may 20 back
over the fields that trembled with the tread of
marching millions, the glory and pride of peace
accomplished must thrill his heart, coming
rom every hamlet and city, North or South,
over the last battle feld-the grave.
The occasion of q great national centennial
has prepared the public to commemorate this
years Decoration bay in a more marked and in
telligent manner than ever before. The two oc-
casi0ns are rife with historic and pathetic
"reminiscences, and the 30th of April and the 3Oth
the memory Of those who may live to see the
last of the veterans of the great war follow
their leaders to the silent camping ground
The spirit and genius of the commemoration
that Logan set apart as national annual event
become more vivid and sentient to arouse and
thrill, as the slower step, the winter head. the
rerer presence Of those who followed the dag to
victory tell that soon they, too, will slumber
under garlands Of tear-jeweled flowers
Decoration Day has become q national YEARLY
pllgrlniage, but unlike that of the devotee Of
Mahomet, or the knight of the Cross, the Jour
ney is peaceful one, and lies through a NIeuti-
ful land. No blood-stained ruins border it-no
weapons and armor bedeck the traveller. and
there are no footsore penitents or faded kniohta
at arms among the throng. This pilcrirnaSe is
not one OF strife or fanaticism, but of love and
peace, while at its end stands the immortal
shrine Of liberty.
Every succeeding Decoration Day has eyi-
.denced the fact that the survivors of the war
have moi. considered their work at an end With
the Termination Of hostilities. They Vere en-
listed for life, and action and procress have
