MEMORIAL DAY At AUBURN.
How the Good People Honored the
Nations Dead.
A Procession and Ceremonies That
Did Them Great Credit-Auburn
Overrun With Visitors.

EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN Your CORE
spondent found the thriving town OF Au-
burn alive and full of visitors gathered
to witness the Memorial services to be
held on Monday. The parade was formed
at the Opera-house. The school chill
dren, to the number of 800, led the pro-
cession, with their hands full of flowers.
Following them came the two fire COM
panies, the tiremen in their bright uni
forms: next came the members of Bel
mont Post, No. 10l, q. a. r., with their
visiting comrades to the number of sixty;
then came Judge j. NJ. Walling of Nevada
City, Orator of the Day, accompanied by
Judge Kincaid, Judge Pruitt, Banker
HolIenbeck, followed by many citizens
and members of the Relief Corps. The
Hussar Band of Auburn led the van, dis
coursing patriotic airs. Much credit is
due them.
The line of march was about three
fourths Of mile in length, through Main
street, which brought the procession TO
the cemetery, where all formed around
the plat OF the G.. A. X. The band opened
the services with a dirge. finely rendered,
after which the Adjutant read the orders
of the day, when the members OF the G.
a. X. Relief Corps and friends rendered
with much effect the beautiful hymn,
"CoYer Them over With Flowers" The
usual services of the g. A. Il. were then
rendered, interspersed with singing and
music by the band.
At the close of the services the school
children formed in line and marched by
the graves, depositing their flowers until
the graves were completely covered. The
little ones seemed TO enter into the full
spirit OF the occasion. NOlleyS were then
1ITaI the after which the
cession formed and marched back to
town and disbanded.
In the evening at o'clock the G. A. r.
and friends assembled at the opera-house
to witness the usual exercises for such
occasions, which consisted OF vocal and
instrumental music, with recitationS,
which were finely rendered. The feature
of the evening was the eloquent address
by Judge j. NJ. Walling of Nevada,
which was delivered with a fervor and
depth of patriotism which could only be
expected from one who had been him
self through the scenes he depicted.
The writer has seldom seen in the
larger cities Grand Army services more
fully and successfully carried out than
was done in the little town OF Auburn.
At / O'Clock the G.. a. Il. and friends
took vehicles and proceeded to Newcastle,
where the usual observances of the day
were carried out satisfactorily to ali.
mere were Il large hummer OF NlSlJOrS
from the surrounding country at Auburn
who filled tie commodious rooms of the
Freeman House to overfowing. The ac-
commodating proprietor of the Union
Stable, w. II. Houchin, was at the rail-
road depot with vehicles to transport the
people who came 10 witness the parade
and ceremonies, but-like the enterpris-
ing host Of the Freeman House-he found
II difficult matter to accommodate ali
his patrons.
The observance of the day was in every
way creditable to the good people Of
Auburn and vicinity. J. w. Il.

Rudely but Tersely Stated.

An old Indian fighter on one occasion
was called on to make a statement con-
corning battle to a Congressional COM
mittee, and he was requested to couch it
in language intelligible to the statesmen
instead OF using the vernacular of the
plains. ''Will you be kind enough, :"
said the Chairman, ''to give US an ac-
count of the fight?" course, = that's
what Pm here for he responded. "You
see, our company of 100 men set III a
game with about as many injuns, and it
was our deal, fer we had slipped up on
'em. They stood pat, right from the
start, and we filed and went in at 'em
from behind the rocks on a straight bluff,
for we didn't know how many there wuz,
and they met US in the open and kivered
our ante, fer they had US. 1t was
hot i'll thor shore, and both sides was
shOotin' and slashin' and yellin' when
night settled down and ended the game"
NV hat was the condition of the contest
ants at the close" asked the Chairman.
THAT'S hard teilin'," was the frank re-
ply. ''All [ know IS, after both sides
pulled out there was Pile Of reds and a
pile of whites on the flat, an nobody on
either side had sand enough in his craw
to show up and claim 'em." The mem
berS Of the committee aiterward stated
that more lucid and inteIHgi bic testimony
had never been produced before them.-

The Origin of the Word Relfry.

The word had originally no connection
with bell AN idea which is now init
nateiy associated with the term. The
first meaning given is watch tower,'
from the middle English BERRY" q
watch tower. I.he first part OF this word
is connected with borough" the sec
ond with Free"
AS he practice grew Of hanging ''bells''
i'll the towers, people reminded them
selves Of the fact by changing the word
BERRY" into the modern "beliry." In
modern times, with our wide diffusion of
education, the spread Of books. and the
steady influences printing, the tendency
illustrated above 10 sacrifice accuracy in
terminology to simplicity in form and

Sleep" song is one Of especial beauty.
The text OF this song by Lord Tennyson
may properly be quoted in its entireness:
To sleep. 10 sleep! The long bright day is
DONE
And darkness rises from the fallen sun
To sleep, to sleep!
Whate'er thy joys, they vanish with the day;
! Whate'eF thy griefs, in sleep they fade away
| TO sleep, to sleepi
Sleep, mournful heart and let the past be past;
Sleep. nappy soul, all life will sleep at last,
To sleep, TO sleep!
| 1t will be seen the composer has a most
| beautiful poetical basis for his musical
Imaglnations and should not rest content
| %lth anything mediocre as a frame work
/ lor SO delicate and lovely picture. The
music IS worthy of the poem. Choosing
| the contraito voice so rich in color, so
deep IN sentiment, so well adapted TO
things somber or melancholy, the author
has here given Us highly characteristic
musical setting OF beautiful song.

BRANDY In the Thester.

The delicious perfume Of brandy permeated
the east side of the orchestra circle of the theater
and every man turned around to see who had
dropped Q flask on the floor. says the New York
Recorder. No one looked guilty and the rising
of tho curtain prevented further investigation
AS the curtain was rung down again on this act,
two gentlemen from the suspected portion Of
the auditorium arose to leave,
"Going out AGAIN." asked lady who.war
with them.
Just a moment, ;" replied the elderly man
Stay long enough to bring some OF those
-"
The man smiled and hurried out. Entering q
cafe near by he called for two cocktails and
while be stood drinking directed the bartender
to max four more plums.
The bartender took four nice Jumps OF sugar
and. laying them in q saucer, sprinkled Marie
brandy on them. Then he wrapped each lumL
in pIsce Of wsxed paper, as caramels are done
up, and placed them In q little brown bag. The
gentleman took them and went back into the
theater, where he quickly distributed then
among the ladies Of his party. They placed
them in their handkerchiefs, and as the curtain
went up again quietly slipped them between
their pearly teeth, and the same scent of brandy
was waited through the auditorium. Nice way
to take your brandy. isn't it?

The May Conven ton.

According to our dispatches yesterday
vigorous efforts are being made to prevent
the convention, which is called to meet at
Syracuse, N. Y. May 81, to protest against
Senator Hills midwinter convention, from
sending contesting delegation to Chicago.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that the efforts
will be successful No good to MIR. Cleve>
land could come from such a delegation.
The delegation would not be admitted
to the convention, aud 1t is highly
probable that but little attention would
be paid to it. The sending Of such dele
cation, however, would have the effect OF
arousiug i'll feeling among New York dem
ocrats. What is needed now is harmony,
1t has been known for several weeks that
good many members of the New York dele
cation have a very kindly feeling for him,
and as soon as it is clearly shown that Sena-
tor Hill has no chance for the nominal
ton, the entire delegation may join in
asking for the nomination Of Mr.. Cleveland
But whether it does or not, If Mr.. Cleveland
is nominated the Hill element will give him
cordial support, provided nothing is done
TO strain existing relations. Mr.. Cleveland
doesn't want contesting delegation sent to
Chicago, In fact, he does not appear to be
taking any part in the campaign in his be.
half. He is not seeking the nomination. but
will accept it if his party wants him for its
standard-bearer.
