Confederate General GsrdoE and Gen.
eral Barlow, Of the Unien troops, met at
a friendly table at Washington, D. c., but
did not know each other through the
changes of time. After some lapse, Cor
don said: General Barlow, are you a
relative Of that Barlow whe was killed at
Antietam /" s'No,n said the General, "I
am the same man. ''Are you any rela-
tive" inquired Barlow in turn, cot that
General Gordon who was recently killed
on the Confederate side s'That was
my cousin. / am John =. Gerden. u
Then, at the request of the persons whe
overheard, Barlow told the tale, amid
tears and emotion on every side.
Colonel David Branson, OF the Union
troops, aud now resident of New Mex
leo, is the man who fought the last battle
and gave the last order to cease firing at
the close OF the war OF the rebellion.
Turning to Captain Coffin, he sententlous-
ly, and with an animation he can never
feel again, remarked: "That winds up
the war;" when the Captain replied, with
equal emphasis, EYES, and thank God
we are alive"
Just before the battle Of Island Ne. 10,
Colonel Roberts, of the AID Illinois Regi-
ment, gave dinner and invited three of
bis comrades TO dine with him. While
wine was served, the following toast was
given: "Success to our arms" was the
sentiment to which Colonel Roberts re-
piled. He spoke Of the Union, of liberty,
OF the army. 81 will take all the chances

A relic of the war in Georgia is the OK
eye-daisy, which the farmers declare was

SO fond of II.

The new corporate boss that the
Democratic party has placed over New
Jersey ID not Of q character and antece-
dents that are calculated to awaken very
pleasant anticipations on the part Of or.
eanixed labor IN this state. The Reading
Railroad company is known as the most
inveterate and implacable enemy Of labsr
organizations among all the railroads Of
this country. II has sternly set Its face
against all organizations, and has releni-
lessIy crushed them out so far as 1t could.
Il will permit none 10 exist among It's own
employees, and has resorted to the most ex.
treme and cruel measures to trampIe the
life out of them.
We have nothing TO say IS TO the right Of
that company 10 pursue such policy; that
Is Its own business. But we are amazed
that the Democratic party Of New Jersey
should so extensively and fiagrantly insult
the organized labor OF this State, by taking
this enemy to Its bosom, and forming .
close political copartnership Herewith. =

Funeral Of Rev. Geo. N. LARSON. n. D.

Funeral OF Rev. Geo. II. Larison, n D.
The funeral OF Rev. Geo. Fl. Larson,
III. D., (whose death was mentioned in
our last issue.) took place last Friday, al
2 z. NJ, from the Baptist Church In this
city. II was one of the largest funerals
ever held in that edifice. Although the
day was most unpleasant enc, the build
ing was crowded, aud large numbers were
turned away. Many Of his congregation
at Sandy Ridge aud Isingces, and from
his former charge at Ssiebury. Pa, were
present, besides numerous friends from
various sections Of the country. The
medical fraternity was slso largely repre-
seated.
The bearers were Drs. Romiae, Nc
Gill, and Closson, OF this city; DR.. Wal
tiers, OF Solebury. Pa, aud Drs. CrameF
and Sproul. Of Bennington.
The services were appropriate and
deeply interesting. Rev. VIM. Swan, Of
tho Presbyterian Church, Of this city;
Rev. Mr.. Westveer, OF the Mount Airy
Presbyterian Church; Rev. A. Arm
strong. OF the Baptist Church at Avon.
by-the-ses, N. j.. Rev. q. II. Woolston,
Of the East Baptist Church, Phila., and
Rev. Mr.. Young, Of Trenton, took part
In the Introductory services. Rev. II. A.
Cordo, OF CORTLAND, n. T., e ciassmate
Of DR.. Larison's, paid high tribute to de-
ceased. lie was followed by Rev. p. A.
H. Kline, Of Clinton, aud Rev. Mr.. Sage
beer, Of Flemingtcn, who tes.ined to their
appreciation Of the man IS friend, ply
stefan and minister. The closing address
was by Rev. J. Fl. Chambers, Of West
Chester. Pa, whose sympathetic and ap.
preciative remarks were most touching.
Rev. Mr.. Chambers had been assisted 10
his ministerial studies by DR.. LARSON and
had been an inmate Of his home for three
or four years.
After the singing Of "a appropriate
piece by the choir. the benediction was
pronounced by Rev. r. c. Romine, Of
Phila. The great congregation then took
their last look Of the face Of him who
had been friend to all Of them, and ply
stefan and pastor to many Of them. The
remains were inferred in Mount Hope
Cemetery.
DR.. Larson was rather unique man.
1t is rare that qualities such as he pos
sessed are combined In one man. His
loss to this community cannot well be
| replaced.

Old Nursery Favoritss.

There was Tom the Son OF the Piper,
Jack Sprat and Merry King Cole,
And the Three Wise Men Of Gotham,
Who went TO sea In q bowl
The woman who rode on broomstiek,
And swept the cobwebbed sky,
And the boy who sat In the corner,
Eating his Christmas pie.
These were some of lhe old favorites,
but they have been supplsnted by th,
.'Pansy" and ''Chatterbox" stories, "Lit
tie Lord Fauntleroy," aud "Five Little
Peppers" The Old fashioned pills and
physics have been superseded, and wisely,
too, by Pierce's Purgative Pellets, mild,
harmless and effective cathartic. They
are pleasant to take-so gentle In theil
action that the most delicate child can
take them, yet SO effective that they will
cure the most obstinate cases OF constipa-
ton, stomach, liver and bowel troubles.
They Should be in every nursery. AS q
gentle laxative, only one for dose.
