Decoration Nay.

Nature was IN sympathy with the
Grand Army on Saturday last, Decora-
ton day was simply perfect, 90 far as
the weather could make it so. At an
early hour the streets were well filled,
and the blue uniform of the Grand Army
was every where visible. At nine o.
clock the Sank Centre band made its
appearance on the street, having volun-
teered its services for the occasion.
There was large gathering OF old
soldiers, members of the Sons of Veter
ans and the Women's Relief Corps, and
citizens at Mem orial Hall, where the
line of march was formed led bv the
band. A large number of teams were in
readiness to carry people to the several
cemeteries. A SCOPE or more Of little
girls dres sed in white, each with large
bouquets for decorating the graves,
were present. The long march to the
cemeteries was taken up, the band lead
ing the procession to the city limits
The soldiers graves were all decorated
according to custom. under the beauti-
full and impressive ritual prescribed for
the occasion.
The following is a roster of the dead
whose graves were decorated:
o M Reno, Charles Tnndale, Charles
Pond, Walter A Page, Corp L kellogg,
M L Parker. John Strong, 0 Truman,
Doc Newell, Thomas Chance, Or R
Palmer, Homa. L L West, D Pulver,
L L Strong, Alfred Townsend, Robert
Love, E Conner, 7 c Walker, Charles
Loid, Lewis Mack, Minnette, John
Clark. Isaac Parks. DR. BIssell, c Par
ker, Livingston Jones. John Irish.
In the afternoon, Memorial Hall was
crowded. The memorial services were
held. the programme being very simple,
but in it's every feature highly appropri-
ate.
The music was excellcntly rendered by
Messrs. Henshaw, Lawrence and Clark
Warren, Mesdames Fish and Lawrence
and Miss Lawrence, with Mrs. Miner as
accompanist. They rendered number
of selections most acceptable.
Introductory remarks were made by
Chas. F. Hendryx, followed by Rev L.
w. Squier who delivered an eloquent
and inspiring address, peculiarly apt to
the occasion. He dwelt at length upon
the significance oflaying floral tributes
upon the graves OF the heroes of the war
of the rebellion. and discussed and re-
futed the idea too prevalent abroad
that the American people were distinct
lively commercial and unitarian in their
public life. He instanced the observance
of this dav, which proved conclusively
chat our people were patriotic, poetic
and artistic-supremely so. He paid
glowing tribute to the disinterested
devotion to principle and heroism dur
ing the civil war, which was without
parallel in the history of the world.
The address was elegant in dictiou
and full of well digested thought, rich in
illustration, vigorous in delivery, and
delight from flrst to last.
The prayer at the opening was said
by Rev. 6. 3. Smith. James A. Norris
was president of the day and director of
exercises.
1t was the general expression of all
present that it was one of the most sue
cessful obseryances of the day ever held
in this city.

The Pearl.

The pearl is the one gem that comes TO
us perfect from the hands of nature.
and to this its great antiquity as gem is
largely due. Precious stones whose
beauty and brilliance depend on polish
ing and cutting would naturally be dis
covered and utilized later The dis
covery of the diamond. for instance,
probably dates within historic times.
Though known earlier, it was not gem
orally included among the gem treas
ures oe royalty even as late as the
seventh century. The modern cutting
OF diamonds in regular facets was in
vented as recently as 1456. Indeed, il is
quite probable that the pearl was the
first gem known and treasured by pre-
historic men--since the search for food
must have been the first occupation of
the earliest of the race, and the shining
pearl would thus have been discovered
in river mussels II not in marine oysters.
Certain IL is that the Old Testament and
the ancient written histories allude to
pearls, and that remoter evidence Is
found in the tombs and excavated cities
of still earlier eras. The Egyptians,
Babylonians, and Assyrians held the
pearl in an esteem verging on reverence.
