From old writings many curious facts
are obtained. Among other things it
would seem that Corea, today more dead
than alive, was at n time a formidable
power, military and naval; that the jap
anese at long intervals changed from
peaceable neighbors into marauders and
f~reebooters worthy of Sir Walter Raleigh.
Frobisher and Drake; that Manipur, As
sam, Burmah and Tonquin at various
epochs were strong belligerent commu-
mites in the far east; that Cambodia and
Cochin China were populous, rich and
warlike civilizations, where now the
tiger prowls and the serpent glides; that
the island of Ceylon was the scene of
brilliant and brave dynasties, which fol-
lowed one another like the waves on the
shore, and at times the Tartar nomads
who live to the north, northeast and west
of Asia were gathered into great armies
and nations by unknown Tamerianes and
Zenghis Khans.-Philadelphia Times.

WHEN the present land law was passed
wth the aid of Senators Carey and War
reu THE LEADER pointed out that the
aud business would be almost destroyed
~ it. This statement brought forth
urllmitcd abuse from nearly every ReDub-
bean newspaper in the state. A Ne
braska receiver has just resigned in
order that he may engage 10 n more
profitable business and when a Repub-
licin office holder is driven to these straits
it may he relied upon that there is very
lutte money IN this business. We know
one or two land ofici ,ls in this state who
nrc cycu now in much the same predica-
trent and after the end Of this fiscal year
all of them will be in the same boat. But
even then our esteemed Republican con-
femporarles will not see that the land
business has been knocked in the head.

When a working girl allows the faith
full performance of her work to fall be-
hind her devotion to dress she has used
the first coupon on her ticket to destruc-
ton. The hand of Providence may in
terpose before the brakeman calls the
last station, but nothing short of such
intervention can save her. If you must
come to this big city to earn your living
seek first the companionship of Christian
people. By Christian people | do not
mean church members necessarily, but
all such as have lofty standards and
strive to live up to them. Earnest, clean
hearted, pure lived people are the best
Christian people and make the best com
rades. Never be ashamed to stand for
your principles.
If you have been brought up to say
your prayers before retiring do not be
turned from the practice by the laughter
of fools. Be as brave as the little hero
in "Tom Browns Schoo'days," who
dared to stand by his colors in the face of
a swarm of ~tormenting boys. Be courte-
Gus always; a gentlewoman can always
be detected under shabby clothes, and a
lady through the stress of ever so grew
some poverty by the we'll bred affability

of department would never be a lady of
the right stamp although you hung every
hair of her head with diamonds.-Chi-

|. o. o. r. DAY.

Pursuant to Proclamation of
the Grand Sire, Sovereign Grand
Lodge and Grand Master Grand
Lodge of w. Va, Tuscarora
Lodge assembled in their Hall 2
O'Clock p. M, Saturday, June IL.
The following visiting Lodges
were in attendance Horeb En-
campment, Canton Eureka ;
Gratitude Lodge, Hedgesville;
Samaritin Lodge, Leetown T;
Caledonia Lodge, Shepherds
town Virginia Lodge, Harper's
Ferry /; Bethany Lodge D. of r.,
the latter in charge of the floral
display. The several lodges pre-
ceded by Martinsburg City Band
formed by Marshal G. l.. Hen
sci, P. G. NJ, and Staff officers
j. B. Kearfoot and c. E Lamar,
marched on Burke and Maple
Ave. to Norborn Cemetery, where
the line was broken and flowers
We're placed on the graves of de-
ceased Odd Fellows. Reform
ing, the procession marched on
South Queen and Burke SITS. to
Green Hill Cemetery where a
stand had been erected in the
Central Arch near the fountain.
Here was music by the Martins
tinsburg City Band, prayer by
Rev. G. S. Trump, Lutheran
Church, Proclamation was read
by the Secretary of Tuscarora
Lodge, Grafton delivered by Rev.
c. H. Day, Cumberland music
by the Band, Benediction by
Rev. Trump. Flowers were then
distributed on the graves of the
lamented dead, numbering be-
tween 80 and 40. This done, at
the sound of the drum again
formed and marched to Lodge.
The memorial committee did all
in their power to make the day
a success, and the weather being
fine their most sanguine eXpec-
tations were realized. The ad-
dress of Rev. Day, the orator
of the occasion, was received
with rapt attention and was pro-
nounced by all to be one of the
best they had ever heard. His
full orotund voice rang out dis
tinctly and all were delighted.
Tuscarora Lodge returned thanks
to the visiting brethren who so
kindly participated and wish
many more returns. The writer
was particularly struck with the
handsome appearance of Green
Hill, viewed by the Western pOr-
tai. From the gateway to the
fountain was a sea of well dress
ed ladies and gentlemen who had
anticipated the procession. The
stately naples which line the
avenue on the Eastern and Yves
tern side have kissed each other
in the branches above, forming
a continuous shade and present
ing a vista reveling in grandeur
the best we have seen in stereC-
scope. All seemed life and gale
ty until the celebrated City
Band, of which Martinsburg is
justly proud, announced the OBJ
ject of the day with a most beau
tiful funeral march. The bugle
conveyed no mistakable idea
that they had come to pay tri-
butte to the dead. During the
music the procession slowed up,
and all realized, as if by magic,
that they were in the "city of the
dead" l..
