THE CEMETERY ON THE HILL.

1t will no doubt seem to be doleful
ubject, but whether we will or not,
here are times when our attention is
allied to just such subjects. We are
OF going to preach anybody's funeral
ervices, that is not in our line, but
re believe there are some duties the
wing owe to the dead, and one of
hose duties is to see that every COM
lunity provide and maintain proper
lace ofsepulchre, and also that such
lace be made just as beautiful and
leasant looking us possible. 1t seems
} take away a wonderful amount of
le anguish of mind that we all feel
t the time when we bury a relative
friend il, the location of the grave
3 what we would have it. How many
mes we have heard the expression,
: the death of a person, while on a
'urney or in foreign land: "Oh,
they could only have been buried in
)me more favorable place; if they
)uld only be where the trees throw
neir cooling shade and the flowers
'ow, we would feel almost satisfied"
may MOI make any difference to the
'ad where or how they are buried,
1T it does make a wonderful differ
ice in the feelings of the relatives
Id friends who survive them.
This is considerable more of pre-
ce than we intended, but what we
ish to call attention to at this time
the feasibility of taking water up
cemetery hill, by means of piping
om one OF the wells in the coulee, to
forced up by windmill power. This
II make it possible to have one OF
most beautiful cemeteries in the
1rld at a comparative small expense.
lie location is a slightly one and
tn trees and shrubbery and flowers,
of which would be easy with just a
tie water, there would be no prettier
ace anywhere for cemetery.

Reflections of a Bachelor.


What man has done, woman can
undo.
Every girl has longing to be kissed
so hard it hurts.
A woman will believe everything
bad she hears about her husband, or
nothing.
When a woman is most sure of hav-
ing won a mans love is the time for
her to study hardest how to keep it.
A homely man, who is so sensitive
that he can't bear to look at a homely
woman, is always sure that the hand
soonest women like to look at him.
Before woman gets married she
knows just what sort of man she
will make of her husband. After she
has been married awhile she be-
gins to wonder what sort of woman
her husband is going to make of her.

General Lew Wallace will be fine
historic figure to put at the head OF
the command he has asked for. A
private soldier in the war with Mexico,
when he was but nineteen, an officer
in the civil war, and our minister to
Turkey under Garfield, he has a record
that will make him an inspiring leader
not to mention the fact that he gave
up senatorial possibilities for the sake
of returning to the army.-St Paul

the present place of burial was estab-
lished. 1t has answered the purpose
very well and has been kept properly
fenced, and everything of that sort,
but as there are now quite II number
interested, by having relatives and
friends buried there, almost all would
feel interest enough to help Il little
toward identifying the grounds.
1t seems to us that it is time some
one made start toward systematic
business scheme to get water on the
hill, in the first place, and then en-
ploy some capable man to plant and
care for the necessary trees, shrubbery
and flowers, and to take care of the
grounds generally.

1t is evident from what has been
said by representative men from the
leading nations, since the intrepid
Dewey SO completely demoralized the
Spanish fleet at Manila, that every
nation except Spain is thoroughly sat
istied that the Spaniards are whipped
already; but as that nation lacked the
perception necessary to see from the
start that they must fail, it is likely
that they will now be foolhardy
and desperate enough to risk every
thing in an encounter with our At
lantic fleet, and if they do, we predict
that they will not have enough lumber
left afoat to carry off their cripples.

LET'S DRILL.

Why would it not be good scheme
for the young and middle.aged men
in the county to arrange to have
drills in the manual of arms and such
movements and tactics as would be
necessary for them to know if they
should be called into service. We be-
lieve there is material for several COM
panies of No. l soldiers in Adams
county who would be willing to give a
day in every week for while for this
purpose, and who would be more than
willing to "scrap" Spaniards should
they have the chance. We do not
know what turn the war may take; it
is always the unexpected that hap
pens. Some of these fine mornings
we may hear that the Spaniards have
effected a landing on Puget sound, or
on the coast of California, and are
overrunning the country, burning,
numbering and laying it waste, barren
and bleeding. In such case, if our
men were even partially drilled, they
could be made far more effective us
auxiliary militia, or home guards,
than they would be without any knowl-
edge of military matters.
