Union congregational Church.

The address at the afternoon memorial
service OF the Union Congregational
church was delivered by Colonel Joseph
II. Kendrick. Mr.. Hendricks central
thoughts were the amount OF suffering
caused by the war and its lesson. Among
other things he sail:
"Many who read OF the war Of the re-
bellion estimate the suffering by the
number OF those who died on the battle
field. Yet during the whole war only
10000 men were shot and instantly killed.
But nearly as many died OF d dsease In
prisons Forty thousand brave men
found death within prison walls. Hun.
dreds of thousands were wounded and
carried from the field. or these $50, 600
died in the hospitals after days, weeks
and months OF pain and suffering. Over
100000 were taken home or went home
disabled and diseased. aud there died.
slavery in the South is generally nc
ce pied as the sole cause OF the war. But
that is not wholly true. The North
practi-ed slavery as long as IL was
thought profitable. Slavery was aban-
doned In the North not more because IL
was crime than because it was un-
profitable.
"The taint OF slavery was not confined
to the South. IL was n national sin, and
as such it punished. It as an awful
sin. and IL was atoned for by the blood
of a half million men. IL cost us In
money over $1,000, ,000,0 ,0O0-an inconceiv-
able sum. This money debt has been
nearly paid, but the debt of pensions TO
disabled soldiers. to widows and or.
phans still remains.
This great republic will he very near
its crave when toe lesson Of the w ar is
forgotten"

The Great Tulip Mania.

Soon after the introduction of the tulip
into western Europe boards of trade
providing they had such things in those
days. made tulip bulbs a basis of the
widest financial schemes ever known,
engendering q speculative fever which
went down into history as the tulip
mania" or tulip craze" The staid Hol-
landers allowed their ''little dixie locked
land" to become the center of this curious
species of speculative frenzy, and for
three years-1644-7-the recklessness
of the dealers and the disastrous results
of the "mania" can only be compared
with the "South Sea Bubble" When
the "craze" was at its height some va
rieties of the bulbs sold for ten, twenty
and even 100 or 500 times their weight
in gold.
A single bulb of the Semper Augustus,
mot much exceeding the bigness of an
onion sette," was sold on the market for
1900 forins. But this was not all. The
gentleman who purchased it did SO with
the mistaken idea that it was the only
known bulb of the kind in existence, but
no sooner did he register purchase than
another, charger somewhat, but not big"
was announced, and the poor victim was
compelled to pay 1900 forms for it or
See it go to another. This he did and
