They hare been honorsbly discharged, and are
at rest.
All this is true And having said il,
why not let them and the cause for
which they died rest9 They are dead.
The cause is lost The victors give
them the honor due brave and dead
foe. Let them rest. But as to the
cause, let silence fall upon it. The
court of popular opinion pronounced il
bad in the hour of its birth. The court
of war pronounced it bad in the hour of
its death. Why should Colonel Fry
glorify it when it has been dead for a
quarter of a century? Why does the
South forever resurreet its rottenuess
and embrace its putrid form?
The official records of the war, says
Fry, show 5000, 900 Northern soldiers
and only 600. 600 Southern troops en-
rolled from first to last. His figures are
more than questionable, but il true
they would only emphasize the crime
of the leaders of the war for secession.
No hopeless minority is justified in
waging war for even a good cause.
There must be reasonable hope of sue
cess, and reasonable hope is not with
600, 900 against 5000, 900, especially
when the 5000, 600 in the field are but a
moiety of the able-bodied millions at
home, while to force the 600, 600 Gf
that were the real numberl into the
field it is necessary, as Grant said. ''to
rob the cradle and the grave" Poor
Johnny Reb' always was q brave and
generally fine and honest fellow. but
tine fellows who lured or forced him
into war were scoundrelly traitors, and
it is great pity that the South has not
learned to so regard them.
1t is disheartening to think that
Colonel Fry said, and that the hundreds
who heard and the thousands who read
his speech believe, that 'the South
acted solely in self-defense," that the
Union as formed by the original thir-
teen tates was only "a partnership
that the South sought to dissolve this
partnership only because it was re-
fused protection in the enjoyment Of its
lives and liberties" If these things
are believed by Colonel Fry and if he
speaks as true representative Of the
South, then the present Union will en-
dure no longer than till the South Is
able to sunder it. The spirit of seces-
sion speaks in every word of the ad-
dress which the Chattanooga Times re-
ports in four columns of Sunday is

A Fee for the Minister.

Rev. Smith Baker, while in Saco last
week. told of an experience he once
had while holding pastorate near
Bangor. There was a well-to-do farm
er who lived on the opposite bank OF
the Penobscot from Mr.. Bakers resi-
dence who, one spring when the ice on
the river was breaking up, lost a
daughter. Mr.. Baker was asked to
officiate at the funeral, which he did,
being obliged to hire horse and car.
riage to make the journey, the nearest
bridge being some distance up the
river. Nothing was said about paying
him either for his services or his ex-
penses. A little while afterwards an
other death occurred in the family.
Mr.. Baker was again asked to conduct
the services, which he did, this time
hiring a man to row him across the
river; and again with no mention OF
compensation. The next spring the
farmers mother passed away. Mr..
Baker was obliged to make the journey
as he did the first time, by carriage.
This time the farmer went to MIR.
Baker and said: "Mr. Baker. You have
been very kind to come over here to
conduct these funerals az such an ex-
pense to YOU, and / fsel that il is ask

pay you something. So next fall when

The breakage of lamp chimneys rep
resents the consumption of that article
The lamp chimney business, therefore
is of considerable importance to the
public.
There are innumerable styles of lamp
chimneys on the market-large, small
and medium size; long, short, round
fiat and twisted; thin, thick, narrow
broad, square, globular, scalloped, col
ored. spotted They even manufacture
combinations of chimneys and globes
while every year brings into the mar
ket half dozen or more of new style,
of. chimneys. Every new lamp re-
quires a special chimney.
Nine-tenths of the chimneys made ir
this country are manufactured al
Pittsburg, and most of the remainder
are made at Steubenville, o., while 9
very few are made in the natural gas
regions.
The majority of small ones are i'm.
ported. Wherever the material in 9
lamp chimney is of greater cost that
the labor the chimney is imported,
and vice versa.
All the shapes used in this country are
of American design, but are manufact-
ured alb cad and brought here and sold
at much less than they could be pro.
duced here. 1t is its labor that figures
in the cost of manufacture more than
material.
The odd shapes are all nodded,
while the ordinary shapes are blown
and are made of lead glass and lime
glass, both in this and the old country.
There is feature that the casual OBJ.
server would not notice in selecting a
lamp chimney with square top. Two
chimneys of almost identical appear
ance are placed side by side, one OF
which commands a higher price. A
close observation shows that the top
and bottom of one is rough, while the
other is polished and smooth. The
smooth one possesses double the dura-
bility of the rough one. The rough one
is cut off and cooled, while the other
is polished. Only the best quality of
glass can be polished this way.
People make a great mistake in
imagining that a heavy chimney is
more durable than a thin one. This is
not the fact. The thin chimney is far
more durable because of its expansion
and contraction being more regular.
The non-breakable chimney, which
is made chiefly in Illinois, is nonbreak-
able in name more so than in reality,
though it is much more durable than
the ordinary chimney. The difference
in the price, however, does not war
rant its purchase on the score of econo-
my, hence very. few are sold. The
best grade of chimney is known as the
pearl top, which is made like any other
chimney, but while hot has crimped
ring welded to the top, while the ordi-
nary crimped top is merely placed in O
mold and shaped while hot.
These chimneys are much less liable
to break than the others and are con-
sidered we'll worth the onethird more
in price. The great demand of to-day
is for fancy tops.
There are also a great many chin.
