MEMORIAL DAY.
ADDRESSES DELIVERED BY TWO PASTORS TO
THE G. A. R. POSTS,
Last Evening-The Services Largely Attended
Notable Celebration Of the FOreth Anniversary
Of lions Lutheran Church
Yesterday.

About fifty members of Stephens Post,
G.. A. r., met at their hall on South jacob
street, last evening, and marched IN BODY
to the Third Presbyterian Church. where
suitable services were TO be held and the
pastor. Rev. G. NJ. Afford, was 10 deliver
them Memorial Day address. The con
pregatiOn at the church was very large,
and the address of Rev Afford was listen
ed to with the closest attention.
He took his text from Second Thessalo-
nian, v-l0-"WhO died for u.s. The rever-
end gentleman began by saying: In valley
somewhere near Jerusalem two great
armies met in deadly conflict II may have
been Nebuchadnezzar with his invading
troops warning with the hosts OF Israel.
The mighty battalions met in hand -to-hand
conflict The horses and chariOts rushed
into the fray. All day long the valley
was like "A red sea uncontrolled. The
earth was covered with the slain and
drank in the life's blood of brave men.
Years after God took one Of His prophets
-Ezekiel-carried him out in the spirit
and set him down in the midst of this val
ley-and behold it was full of dry bones.
Through the power of God there was a
noise in the valley, a shaking, and the
bones came together, sinues and flesh came
upon them, and skin covered them, and
then life entered into them, and they stood
up an exceeding great army. When God
needs an army he can raise il, even from
the dust.
He then went on TO speak of the late civil
war, and said that Mason's and DiXOn's
line should be abolished, and we should
shake hands over the bloody chasm, so that
the very thought of division should die
away.
II is our purpose TO pay our tribute Of re-
spect TO those who risked their lives on the
battlefield for their country's cause. The
soldier has been hOnOred in all time. The
warrior who has been successful on the
battlefield is crowned with laurels at home.
The soldier, he said, finds his duplicate
in the Christian. Christ is the greatest
soldier the world has ever seen. All the
great generals of the past have had times OF
defeat-battlcs that were lost. Even Ma
poleon had his Waterloo. But Christ
never lost battle The church universal
is Christs great army. The Episcopal
Church might be likened to the artillery,
with its gay uniform: the Metho-
dist Church might be considered as
the cavalry, with its dash and clatter;
the Baptist represents the Navy-doing its
fighting on the water; the Presbyterian
Church is the infantry-with its firm and
steady tread. while the other churches rep
resent the reserVe-One grand army
mustered under the same great c0mman-
der. The very earth trembles under the
tramp, tramp, tramp of the mighty forces
as they move with flying colors up toward
the summit of the hill, where they east
down their laurcls at the feet Of the
mighty Captain Of Salvation, and crown
Him Lord Of all.

AT THE NORTH STREET CHURCH.
Rev. W. &. RiheldaiIer Delivers an Elo-
qucnt Discourse to Veterans.

The inspiriting sounds Of the ever-wel-
come national hymn, as they were waited
from the windows of the North Street
Methodist Church, last evening, told Of the
earnestness and devotion of all present to
the interesting memorial service within.
The members of the Holiday and Sheri-
dan Posts of the Grand Army, together
with the Sons of Veterans, and the var
ious ladies' auXiliares, who were present
in generous numbers. had the pleasure OF
listening to able and appropriate remarks
by the pastor, Rev. w. G.. Riheldaffer.
The speaker began by saying that it had
long been the custom of men TO meet and
celebrate great events. This tends 10
soldify the objects that have been achiev-
ed, and it also tends 10 make men more
loyal TO the cause of self, and, in many in
stances, it is a means of which 10 educate
the Young After speaking OF the ability,
self-denial and undaunted heroism of the
soldiers of the rebellion, and of the great
generals who participated in that fight,
without peer in the world, he drew some
scriptural allusions TO ancient memorial
customs.
In keeping with the customs of other
clmcs and other ages, in setting apart the
significant day. we have erected monu-
ment 10 the valiant gone, one that has be-
that shall endure so long as liberty exists
With the booming of the cannon on Fri
day morning next. and the reverberations
from hilltop to hilltop, out of the homes
of this great nation, the army shall come
again. But it will not be with the glitter
ing musket or the fixed bayonet, but it will
be with the arms of peace.
The speaker then referred to the two
great debts which the country owed to its
valient sons. one which can never be re-
paid. that of life and limb and sorrowing
hearts: the other, which can and will be
paid. the pension debt. And here the pas
tor read abstracts from a recent speech on
this question in the House at Washington,
bv a native of West Virginia, the Hon. j.
=. Dolliyer, now of Iowa.
After referring to this country as the
greatest on the globe, the pastor said we
must continue TO make her great, first as
the synonym of liberty, whereby we must
keep intact the promises founded upon the
vows of our forefathers, secondly, as the
SYNONYM Of strength and third of morality.
In concluding his eloquent discourse
which was replete with striking
anaogies and moral lessons, he
concluded as follows: Comrades, time is
fast hurryng us on. Our steps are begin
ming TO falter, and it will not be long before
the race will be run. And as we are going
down the shady side Of life, how important
il is that we should look after the better
side of life-the spiritual side. When the
last battle shall have been fought, may the
record be such one as shall bear the test
of eternity

An Inevitable Deficiency in Uncle Sans Revenues
Due to Republican Policy-The Shortage
SOOOOOOOO- Washington News.

WASiuNGToN, May 25.-CcnServative
members of Congress are beginning to
feel little uneasy about the way APP
propriation bills are pling up this scS-
sion. The amount of appropriations on
bills already passed and pending, point
to an aggregate that will exceed Gov
crnment revenues by many millions
during the coming fiscal year. Govern
ment revenues from all sources for the
year, including the postal. revenue. was
placed by the Treasury Depart
mcnt recently at $3.50, 100000 The
regular annual appropriation bills,
exclusive of deficiencies, will amout to
about 1923. 600, 900, and the permanent
appropriations including, the banking
funds. will reach Sl0l 600 600. The de-
iiciency bills will. according to the cSti-
mates of the members OF the Senate APP
propriatiOnS Committee, amount to at
least S3l 900. 600. That makes an ag-
gregate of Si5j.GOO. 900 of appropria-
tions. exclusive of the dependent pen
sion bill. which. if it becomes law, as
passed by the Senate, will take $50
600. 900. The miscellaneous apprOpria-
tionS ut the last short session
amounted to SlO.2j5.79j, and they
are likely to amount to good
deal more at this session, Is the public
building bills already reported i'll the
House carry an aggregate appropria-
tion of Sl4.OO0,O00 To say nothing OF
the Senate bills, but if the misccllane-
Gus appropriations carry only the same
amount as at the last session. the total
appropriations will amount to S5i7,355.-
795, leaving deficiency of S97, 900, COO.
TheSS figures and the estimates leave
out of sight possible appropriations for
coast defenceS, the direct tax bill and
many other purposes which, if made,
will swell the deficit considerably
above one hundred millions.

LoNpoN. MAY 25.-ln the House OF
Commons Yesterday Mr.. Henry IL. Ho-
worth. Conservative, asked whether any
thing had been done to relieve the SUI
fcrcrs from the appalling famine in the

baliSm was prevalent. The people
were eating anything, dogs, eats, rats

in some other parts the state of affairs
was even worse. nearly the whole popu-
lation having periShed.
Sir James Ferguson replied that re-
lief had been given in every district
that could be- reached by the Govern
ment. hut in places in the interior which
were beyond the control Of the Govern
ment famine was rife and many deaths
had occurred. Around Suakin 1000

ROMANCE OF THE RIVER.
How an Indiana Maiden Gained "A
Husband.

LOUISVILLE. KY. May 2j.-That
truth is stra nger than fiction was never
better shown than by the romantic mar
riage a few days ago OF Miss Stella
Adams. of Madison, Ind, and Louis f.
Riyaud, of this city.
Six years ago a party of four young
girls were strolling along the banks of
the Ohio river at Pleasant Ridge, six
miles above Madison. The river then
was at the highest stage ever known,
and its rolling grandeur was the very
inspiration of romance in the hearts OF
the four maidens. They resolved, as
they watched the turbulent water, that
they would each and every one write a
note, seal it up in Il bottle and cast it in
the stream. Each maiden wrote a note
without letting her fellow-rOmancerS
know what it contained. OF course
they all penned the letter with the main
idea of catching husband, and Miss
Stella Adams wrote the following:
Feb. p, 1854.
| am taking view of the river to-day
write this letter 10 see how far ii Will so,
and the one that finds this letter will please
let me know where they found it, | drop
ped this letter in at Bee Camp Landing
live one mile back of the river, and siX
miles above Madison. Please let me know
when YOU found this bottle, and where
NV address is as follows Bee Camp
POstoffice. jefferson County, Ind.
STELLA \. ADAMS.
u. 81 am sweet sixteen.
To an unknown friend.
Miss Adams was not Ii at the time.
She was only II, but as III seemed the
most romantic she gave the charming
age. She folded the note carefully and
placing ii i'm a bottle threw ii far out
into the water. On the 18th of March,
II days later, Louis +. Rivaud, II years
of age. was Strolling along the river
bank. some little distance below the
head of the canal in this city. He eSpicd
a green object bobbing up and down in
the water He drew it to the shore and
found it was a bottle. He opened it and
read the note. Then, being also OF Il
romantic turn of mind. he resolved to
answer the note. He did so, and in re-
turn received note as tender rs his
own. Pictures We're exchanged. ana Il
correspondence followed for two years.
Then the young people began to write
less frequently, and finally, for no rea-
son than that the romance of the affair
had begun to cool, the correspondence
ceased altogether.
Until the ith of last April the young
lovers heard nothing of each other.
Then young Rvaud received letter
from young man at Madison, who
stated that he was in love with Miss
Adams and that he wanted her picture,
which She had said he could have if Ri
vaud would send it to him. Then Ri
vaud'S love was aroused by jealousy,
and he opened the correspondence once
more with the heroine of the floating
bottle. The letters grew more warm IN
their tone. and finally, few weeks ago,
Rivaud visited his lady love at her home.
A few more visits and then an engage
ment. The sequel of the affair was the
marriage at the brides home at Pleas
ant Ridge.
