graph is too short to tell it, they
were Persians, Phenicians aud Egyp-
tians and had walled cities, castles

were fire worshipers and offered a
human sacrifice every fifty-two years
to the fire God to appease him so that
he would not punish the people for
their sins by burning the whole earth.

Mass, or some other source saw fit
to join the professor with his rich
voice in some of the songs. Now
when John gets going he can make
"Rome howl" he is a Grip Shorter"
and no mistake, erstwhile he remem-
bered the eleventh commandment
"That We love one another" when Wis
ions of feminine loveliness hoated
through his brain and he sought
straightway the company of fair
one some miles away. There was no
"stern PARENT" there but as fate
would have it, there was some other
relative whose language was very
plain andan open door and he came
away, let us hope wiser if sader
man. Since which time his door has
beer fastened most of the time and
he has been in seclusion.

BONDVILLE.

Rev. W. A. Taylor, the Evange-
list of Boston is holding series Of
meetings at Bondyille. Large au-
diences greet the preacher every eve
ming and several have expressed
desire to lead better life.
We are sorry to state that several
people who attend the meetings do
not know how to act decent and be-
have themselves. We might expect
people to act uncivilized if we were
living in heather lands but we look
for something different in so called
Christian lands. On Tuesday eve
ming when the evangelist was speak
ing certain young men who were out
side pounded on the windows outside
the church and slammed the church
blinds and danced on the church plat
form and made all manner of hideous
noises. After the services are over
evenings, pools of tobacco juice can
be found on the floors in the chulch
and the floors covered with peanut
shells. We would suggest if people
can't keep still for half an hour in
church that they had better be pro-
vided with tin rattles and baby play
things to keep them quiet during the
services. On the same night certain
people obtained access to the bell aAd
rang it for half an hour about mid
night, keeping people awake. We
think instead of our sending money
to convert the heather that the heath
en- ought to send money TO convert
some of the heather in Vermont.

iHE PARADE.
Veterans Turn Out to the Number of
10000,

Veterans Turn Out to the Number of
10000.
The parade of the veterns of the G.
A. r. eEcampment was somewhat of Il
disappointment. Instead of 81, 900 men
in line not over 20, 900 turned out and
the handling of the different divis-
ions was so bad that there We're numer-
Gus delays.
At 1880. the designated hour, the fir
ing of so FOUNDER gave the signal that
all was in readiness to move. The boys
from Illinois, by virtue of seniority. had
tho honor of right of line, following im-
lnediatcly after the chief marshal and
his staff. Following the Illinois divis-
ion came the detachment from the Key
stone state and behind these alarge and
creditablo representation of veterans of
Ohio. The once familiar face missed III
this division was that Of ex-President
Hayes, who for many years had never
missed the opportunity of marching on
foot with the comrads of his home post.
New York followed the Buckeyes and
what the boys from the Empire state
lacked in numbers they made up by their
bearing and carriage and the brisk way
in which they stepped to the music.
The department OF Wisconsin made a
good showing and the Massachusetts,
delegation came in for many loud
cheers. Connecticut was sand
wichcd i'll between New York
and Massachusetts and after
the latter, the departments followed
each other i'll this order: New Jersey,
Maine, California, Rhode Island, New
Hampshire, Vermont. Potomac, Vir,
ginia and North Carolina i'll one de.
rar,nen;; Maryland, Nebraska. Mich
igan, Iowa, Colorado and Wyoming in
another; Kansas, Minnesota. Missouri,
Oregon, Kentucky, West Virginia,
South Dakota, Washington and Alaska
combined; Arkansas. New Meri"o,
Utah, Tennessee, Louisiana and nluree
sipri in one department.; Florida, Mo{i:
tana, Texas, Idaho, Arizona. Alabama,
North Dakota, Indian Territory and
Oklahoma.
Tie rear Of the column was brought
up by the department OF Indiana
which comprised nearly one-half OF the
entire number of veterans in line.
Indiana had promised at Washington
ITO do itself proud" il it was given the
national encampment, and it more thar
redeemed the pledge.
