Lincoln's Oettvsburo Addr...

President Lincoln's famous address at
the dedication Of the National Cemetery
at Gettysburg. nearly thirty five years ago
was read at all the Grand Army services
In the cemeteries In Philadelphia on Mon.
day was a. follows:
-Four score and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth upon this continent
new nation, conceived In Liberty and
dedicated 10 the proposition that all men
were created equal. Now we are engaged
In great Civil War testing whether the
nation, or any nation SO conceived and
dedicated, can long endure, We are met
ON a great battlefield of the war. We are
met to dedicate q portion Of it as the final
resting place Of those who have given their
lives that the nation might live.
1t is altogether fitting and proper that
we ould do this, but in a larger sense,
we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate
we car not hallow this ground. The brave
men. living and dead, who struggled here
have consecrated 1t far above our power to
add or detract. The world will very little
note, nor long remember, what we say
here; but 1t can never forget what they
did here
1T Is for us. the living, rather, to be ded-
ich1ed here to the unfinished work that
they have thus far SO nobly carried on. 1t
Is rather for as to be here dedicated to the
great task remaining before US that from
these honored dead We take Increased de-
votion to that cause for which they here
gave the last full measure Of devotion !;
that we here highly resolve that these dead
shall not have died in vain-that the pa-
ton shall. under God, have new birth Of
Freedom, and that government of the peo-
pie, by the people. Tor the people. shall not
perish from the earth"

ton, New York, rowed yesterday on the
Harlem river one mile course, marked
the opening of the amateur rowing rae
ing season in the east. In the senior
single souls E. H. Ten Eyck, the Har-
lem champion, had as his opponents Jul
venal, of Philadelphia, and Mackey, Of
the Nassau Boat club, of New York.
The men kept together for a dozen
strokes, when Mackey fell behind.
Juvenal stayed with Ten Eyck for
about a quarter, and there the cham
pon increased his speed with such eff
feet that at the half he led Juvenal by
at least ten lengths. After that it was
simply procession.

Funny things take place every day, and
one of the strangest is the infatuaticns
that occur between people of opposite
Colors. Such marriages are never Of any
benefit to the human race. They begin in
disgrace and end often in murder The
latest case to be brought to mind Is that
of Samuel Blumberg, aged 81 years, of
Philadelphia, who became infatuated with
Emma Deery, colored. He met tho girl
some four years ago, when he was in his
nth year and his advances were encour.
aged by the girl. who from his confession
of the murder, was intoxicated when he
shot her, killing her. 1t might we'll be
called q case Of hypnotism, as the young
man said he realized that he was doing
wrong in taking up with the girl and his
relations with her and that he tried to
break away from her influence over him.
That he left her On three different occasions
and left Philadelphia, but it appeared to
be his fate that his life should link itself
with that of the girl and he, each time re-
turned to Philadelphia and renewed his
Illicit love as he termed it. Blumberg met
the girl when he was STRIPPING and she
aattered him and gained such control
over him that he ever afterwards was I'M
able to break away from her. This was
the time that he should have had tho strong
hand of parent laid upon his shoulder.
and his error, with all its consequences,
pointed out to him. The girl abused him
while intoxicated and he says attempted
to hit him with lighted lamp, when he
picked up revolver laying on table and
shot her dead. He has nearly finished the
chapter of his life.
