4 NOBLE ADDRESS.


! Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg.
FourScore and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth upon this CONT
nent a new nation, conceived in liberty
and dedicated to the proposition that all
men are created equal. Now We are en-
gagged in great civil war, testing wheth-
er that nation, or any nation so con-
ceived and so dedicated, can long en-
dure. We are met on a great battle
field of that war. We have come to
/ dedicate portion of that field as final
resting place for those who here gave
their lives that that nation might live
1t is altogether fitting and proper that
we should do this. But in larger sense
we cannot dedicate, we cannot cOnse-
crate, we cannot hallow this ground.
The brave men, living and dead. who
struggled here, have consecrated it far
above our power to add or detract The
world will little note, nor long remem-
Der, what we say here; but it can never
forget what they did here. 1t is for us,
the living, rather to be dedicated here
to the unfinished work which they who
fought here have thus far so nObly ad-
vanced. 1t is rather for us to be here
dedicated to the great task remaining
before US; that from these honOred dead
we take increased devotion to that cause
for which they gave the last full meas
ure of devotion; that we here highly re-
solve that these dead shall not have died
in vain; but this nation, under God,
shall have a new birth of freedom; and
that government of the people by the
people and for the people shall not per
! ish from the earth.

IRA r. HICKS, the man who is run
ming weather bureau of his own sue
eessfully in opposition TO the Signal
Service. is not satisfied with having laid
out programme of the cold storms We
are having, but thinks a continuation Of
it will answer generally for June. About
the first three days of June there will
be heavy storms, again about the 1th,
perhaps. and hard storms between the
18th and 10th. Again about the 24th,
25th and 26th will be a storm center of
unusual violence. Prophet Hicks puts
this saving clause at the end of his pre-
dictions. should heavy rains and elec-
trical storms by any means fail at the
June periods, violent volcanic and earth
quake convulsions may be expected, es-
pecially about the close of the month.
In the Presbyterian General Assem-
1 bly,. on Monday, occurred an exciting
/ debate on tne treatment OF JHe LquOl
question. Some of the brethren from
the West, notably Kansas and Nebraska
insisted upon adopting a declaration
that the traffic must be prohibited. DR.
Howard Crosby, of New York, opposed
prohibition with great vigor, but char
acterized the liquor traffic as infamous
A resolution endorsing prohibition was
tabled, 30 nays to 105 ayes.
On the same day the |. P. General
Assembly wrestled with the tobacco
question. \ resolution was adopted re-
quiring that license shall be refused the
illogical students who use tobacco.

Effective Remedy

FRIDAY was big day at Alexandria,
Va. 1t was the 2Sth anniversary of the
killing of Col. Ellsworth, and of the
evacuation of the place by the secession
lists. The occasion was the dedication
of a monument to the memory of the
ninety-seven Alexandrians, who fought
for the Lost Cause" Each of their
names was carved on the pedestal of the
monument, as was also the sentiment:
"They died in the consciousness of du-
ty faithfully performed" A tremendous
crowd of people were in attendance to
see the chieftains of the COnfederacy,
and to hear Gov. Lee, Gen. Joseph E.
Johnston, and Senator Daniels. Mr..
Daniels made the presentation address,
which for effrontery and bad taste could
not well be matched. According to Mr..
Daniels, Abraham Lincoln and men who
fought to save the Union were traitors,
and Jefferson Davis, Robert f. Lee and
other cO-cOnSpiratOrs were patriots
Gov. Lees address was in better taste,
but he, too, missed an opportunity
Some persons may criticise the good
taste of his declaration that his uncle,
Robert f. Lee, was as pure and unset
fish patriot as George Washington, and
some military critics, too, may dispute
the logic of his argument that Robert
E. Lee was greater general than all
the heroes of ThermOpylee, Waterloo
and SebastOpol combined, and that Get
tysburg would have been a Confederate
victory if Lees plans had not miscarried
through the stupidity or weakness, or
both, of Gen. Longstreet. After Gen.
Lee concluded Gen. Joseph L. Johnston
made few remarks.

Twin Palms and Ancient Well Of Los
Angeles.

The accompanying engraving is from a
photograph taken by our correspondent,
Mr.. A. W. p. Kinney, of Los Angeles,
and shows the "Twin Palms" on San
Pedro street, Los Angeles, Cal. Mr..
Kinney says;
These trees arc Of the fan palm species,
and are gigantic in size, being probably
the largest in the United States.
1t is supposed they were planted by
some of the mission fathers who founded
the old Spanish missions on the Pacific
coast. They may be classed among the
wonders of sunny California.
