M EMORIAL DAY.
The Grand Army and the National Gua

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: As the cele.
bration of Memorial Day approaches, and with
the memories. tender, painful, andsoul thrilling,
crowding upon rs aud suggested by that day,
the following incident; in connection with its
observance shows n state of feeling in some
quarters which is simply astounding, and will
no doubt prove of absorbing interest to the
100000 members Of the GAR. in this country.
On the day the cornerstone Of the monument
to Gen. Grant was laid in New York City
member ofCapt Wilson's battery, of the Second
Brigade, y. Y. :. NJ who prides himself on his
fine physique and the fact that he was born in
England, cooly informed me that Memorial
Day a perfect farce; that the G AR
couldn't hope to compete with the National
Guard In making an imposing appearance on
parade ~; that the people didn't care anything
about them, anyway; it was the National
Guard the crowd turned out to see, and. take
that feature away from the parade there would
scarcely be person on the sidewalk to see the
GAR. pass; that he was sick and disguised
with the whole business, and it was only be.
cause "0ld Stuff Fitzgerald" (meanng the
Brigadier- GeneraD wanted to show himself on
that day that the brigade was ordered out.
When ] suggested that perhaps he did not
reflect the sentiment of any considerable part of
the National Guard, be replied that every man
of whom he had any knowledge in the brigade
was Of the same opinion as himself.
Now, Mr.. Editor, if this person truly reflects
the opinion of the National Guard for the de.
tenders and saviours Of this Republic it is
high time that the G.A.R. took some action to
preserve their selfrespect. Years ago, when
this fresh and insolent English whelp was in
his swaddiing-clothes, the officers aud mem bers
OF the National Guard esteemed il high honor
to escort the GAR. on Memorial Day; but if
the sentiment OF the rank and file of the present
generation has degenerated into a feeling of
contempt and disgust for ourselves and the
day we cherish SO sacredly, in self respect and
out of respect to the memory of those whom we
honor and who have only "gone BEFORE" we
should decline to march behind such dis
gusted escort.
/ believe the time has arrived when this
matter should be thoroughly discussed, not only
by the GAR, but also by the National Guard,
in order that the respectable and manly element
in the latter organization may drive these
/" whelps" from service they only disgrace.
In conclusion, viii say if the National Guard
is honeycombed with soldiers % entertaining
sentiments of the sample here given. God help
the country if it should ever have occasion to
call upon them for its defense.-A Boy OF 81,
Brooklyn, n. Y.

Presently she red-slowly-hcaviy. Her
head bent low over her ample bosom. and her
breath came short and fast. Ferris went for

was something of an actor himself and he
knew It.

difficulty, led her TO a seat aud pulled her head
down on his glossy shirt-front.
He was very, very sorry, as she must know.
But il was nothing. Her father would recoup
himself-he had many influential friends. As
for her. had she not him-her Arthur? He
would not, he once interrupted her to say,
permit her. through a sense of false pride, to
cast him off now, when she most needed him.
No, never2
He had three thousand year. It was not
much he knew, but they could live on it. And
did she suppose for one instant, that he had
expected to live on his wife's money! No! A
thousand times no.
I'VE will have real quiet little wedding,
dearest, and, after it is over we will go quietly
to our own little cottage in the suburbs, which
you and will get ready in the meantime, and
there we will be the happiest couple in the
world, What! Bernice, / am to understand
that you laugh at my cherished plans?"
For Bernice had leaped TO her feet and was
laughing heartily.
"Why, you foolish boy, I was only teasing
you a bit. Don't you think I'd make good
actress? Papa and haven't lost -
Here was Mr.. Fcrriss opportunity. She had
doubted him; oh, cruel blow. If she could not
trust him now, how could she have any faith
in him when they were married? Perhaps,

indeed.

An hour or so later. a young man, walking

The Refuse of Paris,
saturday RepietU.]

In Paris nothing is wasted. not the smallest
scrap of paper; that which everyone else
throws away here becomes a source of profit
Old provision tins for instance are full of
money; the lead soldering is removed and
melted down into cakes, while the tin goes to
make children's toys. Old boots, however bad,
always contain in the arch of the foot at least
one piece that will serve again, and generally
there are two or three others in the sole, the
heel, and at the back. Scraps Of paper go to
the cardboard factory, orange peel to the
marmalade- maker, and SO ON. The ideas sug-
gested are not always agreeable and to see a
ragpicker fishing orange peel out of the basket
is enough to make one foreswear marmalade-
but there is worse than that. The most valuable
refuse-that which fetches two francs the klo--
is hair; the long goes to the hardresser, while
the short is used, among other things for clari-
flying oils.

]. Free coinage means that silver shall be
coined in the minis of the United States on ex-
setly the same terms as gold; that is that a
man who has, say, 100 or 1000 ounces of silver
can take it TO any United States mint and have
it coined into dollars. which will be legal
tender.
2. Those who are opposed to free silver want
to restrict tho coinage TO a certain amount. Up
until last year the Government was required
to coin 100000 silver dollars month, buying
silver at its market price and converting 1t into
standard dollars By this restriction 1t is in
tended that no more silver should be coined
than could be circulated at par, and conse-
quently the value of the coin kept from falling,
which ii was claimed it would do if there were
an unrestricted coinage of all the metal offered
at the mint.

usually votes with that party on all questions,
except those relating TO free silver-EDIToR

An Extract from His Recent Letter TO Ills
Constituents.
The Hon Elijah A. Morse, the Representative
from the new Twelfth Massachusetts, District,
in recent letter declining a reelection %
Congress, has a word to say in behalf of his
comrades as follows:
During my service as Congressman have lent a
listening ear to the cry of distress which has
reached me from my comrades. the soldiers of the
district, many OF whom are suffering from wounds
and large number from the increasing infirmitiss
of years. The Nation made promises 10 these men
in the hour of her deadly peril, when its exstenca
among the Nations of the earth hung trembling In
the balance. / have raised my voice In favor OF
legislation which should redeem these promises,
and have by my own personal efforts secured over
900 pensions for worthy and deserving soldiers and
their families; and bespeak from my successor
his kind consideration for these wards OF the Ma

ousy with those disabled in her service.
Some of the leading Republicans Of Massa-
chusetts have suggested that Mr.. Morse would
be a good man to put on the State ticket next
Fall for Lieutenant Governor. Il seems to
be settled that the candidate for Governor will
be taken from the western part of the State,
and Mr.. Morse being veteran and o WE'LL
known temperance man, embodies some Pc
euliar elements of strength in State and Ma
tional contest.
Nothing has been heard from Mr. Morse,
however, on the subject.

There is Such No Power.

authority vested in each State to compel the
attendance of its Senators and Representatives
at all legal business, except in such cases as
sickness or death
No; the States have no authority over their
Senators or Representatives in Congress Each
House is law unto itself, and is supreme in its

The Russian blouse when we'll made and
we'll worn is a very pretty thing. 1t also has
the advantage of being adaptable to almost any
kind of goods from wool to calico. The one in
the cut is made of light wool goods. A little
fulness is allowed at the throat, right in the
middle. Neither the darts, the seams joining
the side fronts to the fronts, nor the seams
joining the side backs to the backs, are used.
The most of the fulness of the skirt part of the
blouse is right in the middle of the front and
back. 1t is belted in with a narrow belt of
band trimming, that is also used on the cuffs
and collar, and the fastenings at the side are
hidden under another band. The sleeves,
though full, fall from the shoulder, and do not
stand up high there.

In fitting bodice it is best to trim the arm
hole out carefully, so that when the sleeve is
put in there will be no wrinkles resulting from

that depends on the girl-have no gathers on
the hips at all, and the rest of fulness pleated
in overlapping pleats in the middle of the
back. If the top of the front be cut out little,
and sloped down from the plain hips to the
middle, the skirt will not form puff there, as
it is most sure to do otherwise. Then some
dressmakers just put couple of pleats on
either side of the middle of the 'front.' and then
pleat the back. The only idea is to have the
skirt close-ftting over the hips, and any Pretty
way to accomplish this can be used. A bias
back relieves the waist of some of the fitness
without robbing the bottom of the skirt at all.

In hanging pictures it Is to be remembered
the usual way, with sloping in from the top to
the wall at the bottom; yet. etchings and water
colors often look better hung fiat against the
wall. A picture with shadows should, if posi-
ble have tho light side nearest the windows,
so that the shadows will fall naturally. Pict-
ures do not necessarily come in pairs. and al
though often two pictures, similar in size and
subject, may find convenient places on CORE
spending parts of the wall, yet quite as often
the stiff effect by "pars" or companion
pieces" takes away the artistic value of both
pieces. Paintings, or any pictures, should not
be hung so high that it is uncomfortable to
look at them, but some pictures arc of such
large design or brilliant color, that they look
much better hung high mp than down lower.
Mouldings are much better to hang pictures
from than nails In the wall, and are not very
expensive to put up.
