OBITUARY.


Mr.. John A. A. Packard died last Mon
day of tuberculosis of the pericardium at
Springfield, Mass. He had lived in that
city 20 years, going there from Portland.
He was formerly in the marble business
in Holyoke and had been connected for a
long time with the firm of j. HI. Cook &
Co. He enlisted in the spring of '61 and
carried the colors of the 9Th Maine at the
battle of Bull Run, July 81, 1851. He
participated in all the Seven DAVIS bat
ties, also the battle of Yorktown, and all
the Chickahominy siege and Gettysburg.
In the battle Of South Mountain, Nd, in
September Of 1868, he was shot through
the body, a mimic ball passing through
him and lodging in tree. He was then
first lieutenant and at the time was act
ing captain. He resigned in November
of that year, as his wound made march
ing impossible. The wound did not heal
for fourteen months. OF late years he
had suffered severely from the effects of
it, but never complained, and bore the
burden of shattered nerves heroically.
He was onelof the organizers OF the Port
land Army and Navy Union, and after
his removal to Springfield transferred his
allegiance to Wilcox post of the Grand
Army. He was a member of Ancient
Landmark lodge of Masons of Portland,
Ligonia lodge and Eastern Star encamp-
ment of Odd Fellows, and the 9Th Maine
regiment association, also of the Pilgrim
Fathers of Springfield. A few years ago
the flagstaff which he carried at Bull
Run was cut up into souvenirs in the
form of 9th corps badges, the wood beau
tifully polished, tipped with gold and
suitably inscribed on gold plate. One
of these is now in the possession of his
family. Mr. Packard was So years old.
He married Miss Helen N. Clark of
Winterport in 1861, who, with three sons,
survive him. The funeral service took
place at Springfield Wednesday, con-
Quoted by Rev. DIR. Trask. The floral
tributes were profuse and elegant.
Death of Mrs. L. G. PennelI.
Mrs. L. G. Pennell died at the insane
asylum at Augusta yesterday morning,
aged about IS years. She went to Angus
ia few days ago and was committed to
the asylum by the board of aldermen of
that city. Her death was caused from a
shock of paralysis. She leaves one
daughter.

Judge Joseph E. Gary, who presided at the
trial of the Chicago anarchists. has rendered the
country timely service by making public much
interesting testimony that during the past few
years seems to have been forgotten by people
who should have borne ii in mind. Present
conditions approximate closely to those which
existed shortly prior to the Haymarket mas
sacre and it is eminently proper that good citi-
zens should be reminded Of what might
easily occur. while the lawless will not
be more demonstrative when their atten-
ton Is directed to the fate Of those who
shouted anarchy and manufactured bombs.
In an unnecessary defense Of his historical re-
sumo, which appears in The Century, Judge
Gary says that for seven years the clamor, un-
contradicted. has gone round the world that
the anarchists were heroes and martyrs. vic
tins Of prejudice and fear. Very few living
persons were sufficiently familiar with the de-
tails Of crime and trial to succinctly present the
narrative to the public, SO the judge very prop
erly deemed it his duty to write clearly and
dispassionately of the occurrences. right
minded. thoughtful people," says he, who
recognize the Necessity to civilization of the
existence and enforcement of laws for the pro-
lection of human life, and who yet may have
had misgivings as to the fate Of the anarchists
will, trust, read what have written, and dis
miss those misgivings, convinced that in law
and in morals the anarchists were rightly pun
ished. not for opinions. but for horrible deeds -

A spiritually TRANSMITTED communication
from Mary Washington, made public some time
ago, is to the effect that George is with her
most of the time. This is most interesting, If
true, but not less so than the announcement
gravely made by so-called spiritualistic peri
odical published in London, which declares that
it has secured the exclusive collaboration of
William Shakespeare in the spirit world and
warns the public that any alleged messages from
him appearing in any other paper are spurious

War Department gossIps say that Secretary
Lamont will soon give attention to the matter
Of Indian breve.s. II he does, there can be no
charge Of hasty consideration, for successive
Secretaries have laid this matter aside to be
dealt with by somebody else until many Of the
officers who should have been honored long ago
have left the jurisdiction of the United States
for regions where men are appreciated at their
real value. During and after the close Of the
war of the rebellion brevets were showered
profusely upon the Just and the unjust, but
since those times some OF the most gallant ex-
PLOTS have gone without the slightest official
recognition except that found in the recon-
merdations forwarded to army headquarters.
Foreign nations have covered the breasts Of
countless soldiers with decorations that testify
to bravery that has been eclipsed by the wearers
of the blue who fought the savages Of
the plains and mountains from the Canadian
boundary to the Rio Grande and into the Wild
est portions Of old Mexico. As in other lands
the soldier moved in the van Of civilization.
Had We been more humane, more upright in
our dealings with the red men. the military
but circumstances compelled the intervention
millions and the revengeful aborigine. For
thirty years there has been more or less Of
strife, and now. save where our limits touch
other principalities, there is no frontier. Sac
rificial blood sprinkled thousands Of acres now
sown with DEMONSTRATING grain and lives we're
laid down with cheerfulness that the great
American desert might blossom as the rose.
Comparatively few Of those who dwell east of the
center Of population have even a remote con-
ception of the valor which preceded our COM
mercial greatness. IL WAS much easier to be
conspicuously brave in the heat of great con-
ficts such as were common during the re-
beilion than when two or three companies were
battling with five times their number Of Indians
and . hundred miles from reinforcements.
Civilized warfare ceases to torment its victims
when they fail, but the savage knows no pity
and is unsatisfied even with the death Of his
antagonist Surely If men who never stirred
oussids their Offices in this city during the war
could be brsvetted "for meritorious service"
there should no longer be delay in nominally
advancing the heroes who in the open field and

crafty of foes unhinchingly obeyed the behests

dies were placed under glass, with fragment

put in tube Of gelatine. When the

birth to innumerable colonies Of the comma

of contagion as soon as they commence to sp-
