Memorial Day Service.

Our observance Of Memorial Day was made not
alone interesting by the good singing on the part
of our choir. but by the presence on the platform
of noted st. Paul divine who had so kindly con-
descended to address a subject which has
indeed become dear to the heart of every LOYAL
American The exercises were opened with the
singing of THE Star. Spangled Banner" Chaplain
Albert following by reading from the fourth chap.
ter of Micah and offering a short prayer. After a
hearty singing by the boys of John Brown" the
Warden introduced the Rev. w. s. Vail of St.
Paul as the orator of the day. His subject was
Abraham Lincoln, the Martyred President. The
subject was apropos to the occasion. and Mr.. Vail
freed his address from any metaphorical embel-
lishment only dwelling with pathos upon the sim.
pie life OF Lincoln. His vivid illustration of his
nome life when struggling step by step to procure
the bare necessities of lite; the dreamlke picture
OF the prairie with its crown of wild flowers; the
three books that constituted his entire library

tory of America, Life of Washington and the
Bible, pointed out to US the rich gifts with which
Lincoln was endowed but principally his under.
standing OF the needs of the people. There were
but very few men, if any, during the dreadful
epoch of our Civil War that commanded that gen.
crosby of heart that he did, and though passing
through the fire of criticism of his own friends
and generals for his seeming weakness in pardon.

still was teaching the great lesson that life is

The boys heartily appreciated Mr. Wallis re.
marks, and gave him "a.come- again" applause.
The services were closed with the singing of

Pygmies of the Andamans.

The pygmieS of the Andaman Islands in
the Bay of Bengal are coming into notice
again. On South Andaman Island the In
colony. Several attacks have been made
recently by the untamable Jarawas of this
island OH parties of cOnvicts who find it
very dangerous to leave their settlements to
90 hunting in the woods. The natives
roam over big tracts of thick jungle, ap
pearing occasionally On the coasts or visit
ing the confines of the settlements, murder
ing any cOnvicts they may meet. When
pursued the bands separate into parties of
two or three and retreat into the denseSt
part of the jungle, where they leave no
trail. Mr.. POrtman. the administrator of
the Andaman Islands. says that the few
Jarawas who have been caught during the
past ten years and returned to their tribe
after enjoying his hospitality, have done
nothing to promote more friendly relations
between their people and the Government.
That is more discOuraging report of
these Andaman pygmies than was made
several years ago by Col. Cade. although he
wrote of the natives of Little Andaman.
He insisted that their ferocity was due to
the inhumanity of Chinese and Malay
traders. who improved every opportunity
to drag the natives into slavery. He said
that they are good natured and pleasant
people to meet when once their confidence
is gained. An expedition which landed
among the dwarfs of Little Andaman was
assailed as usual with arrows and battle
axes. The party took three women and six
men prisoners, and carried them nearly 100
miles away to Fort Blair. They were
treated there with the utmost kindness. and
in two months were sent back to their is
land loaded with presents. On the next
visit of the whites the released captives
came to see them. and in few days men.
women, and children visited the camp and
even ventured on board the steam launch.
The Jarawas of South Andaman. how,
ever, still keep their arrows sharpened for
any foreigners who pass their way. All
these people belong to one of the smallest
races of men in the world. The average
height of the men. Prof. Flower says. is
feet 9 inches. and that of the women is
feet 6 inches.--Selected.

A Monument of Bullets.

memento OF the war possessed by Mr.. A..
E. Brooks. of Hartford, is q monument con-
structed Of 1888 bullets from the great battle
buttons epaulets, belt plates, canteens, revol.
vers, bayonets. bowie knives, exploded shells,
etc. Mr. Brooks in this object lesson of the
conflict has aimed to give both sides equal rep
resentatiop. In the base of the monument
the names of four of tho most important en-
gagements are spelled out with mimic. balls,
and above the battles their dates are similarly
given. Every article and weapon which forms
a part of the monument above the base has a
history. The central piece on the Federal
side of the monument is revolver, the barrel
of which was exploded in the hand of a soldier
named Williams. Beneath this implement of
war is shell that WAS fired at Petersburg.
One of the rarest belt-plates to be found in
the United States figures between the ordi-
nary plates worn in the service during the war
and afterwards. The Union canteen, old and
disigured with rust, was found by Capt
Lyman Smith, of Hartford, near Gen. McPher-
sons monument at Atlanta concentrating
the spot where this brilliant officer fell during
Sberman's march to the sea. On the opposite
side is Confederate canteen. 1t is pierced
with buckshot in four or five places and is in
singular contrast with the other On one side
are crossed bayonets while the other has rep
reservations of the bowie knives that were
carried in the belts of the Louisiana Tigers.
The Confederate belt plates cannot be dupli-
Gated easily. They represent the styles worn
by officers and men. The framework for the
monument is constructed OF boards, planed and
fitted together in the form of shaft. To this
the exhibits are fastened by means of brads
and fine nails. The whole is surmounted by
80 pounder.

FARMERS, ATTENTION +!
A SPLENDID PAPER VERY CHEAP.
The lmariean Farmer from Now
until End of 1892 for 25 Cents.

The American Farmer is the oldest agri-
eulturai paper In America, having been
publishei in Baltimore since 1919.
Last Winter it passed into the hands of a
new ma cement, vino have greatly enlarged
and impt yed it. tits now superb journal
of 81 ;ue pages, with handsome cover,
and finely illustrated. 1t is issued on the
LIST ana Is Of each month, and gives a
larger amount of better reading matter for
the money than any other agricultural paper
in the country. All the leading agricultural
writers contribute to it, and great amounts
Of MONEY are constantly being expended TO
secure the best available information on all
farming IN tiers.
The 4 sefricda Farmer is thoroughly non
partisas ~ politics. but is q strong advocate
of protection upon every farm product which
comes iafo injurious competition with those
of foreign countries. IT is particularly
earnest in IFS support Of the tariff on wool
and the development of the sheep-raising
industry of this country until our own
farmers will supply every pound Of wool
and mutton that our people require. 1t
devotes considerable space every issue to
information il regard to sheep-raising and
the discussion OF matters of interest TO flock
owners. Besides this it has departments
devoted 10 Dairying Poultry, Bookkeeping,
Horses. Swine, Grain-growing, Stock and all
brancbcs uf farming.
Ono o lis peculiarly valuable features is
that il Publishes in every issue the latest
issued MAPS of the Weather Bureau, giving
the temperature and rainfall all over the
country for the previous two weeks. This
inforLnai on Is of the utmost importance to
every fa,ia.er in Judging the probable course
of the market. 1t is precisely the informa-
ton that the grain spectators have been
securing ~ great expense, in order to shape
their operations. By means OF these maps
the readers Of The American Farmer are
given just as reliable information as to the
condition OF the crops everywhe as the
spectators and operators have. and thus
are placed in exactly as good position TO
judge the course OF the market.
In order 20 give all the farmers Of the
country an opportunity 10 become thor
oughly acquainted with the many merits Of
The AHasc0R Farmer, the management has
decided to make the extraordinary offer to
send the journal for the remainder of 1892
10 anyone sending them % cents This is a
great o portuHity TO get a vast amount OF
unusually good reading matter for an in
