Significance of the Day.

There is 4 melancholy pleasure in con-
sidering this great anniversary, second
only in Importance to Fourth of July, but
Overshadowed by vastly different senti-
ment. Independence Day is the birthday
of American freedom. Memorial Day may
well be called its day of baptism and con-
secration. On this occasion we turn from
the everyday concerns of life and give
ourselves up to the contemplation of acts
of heroism that raise humanity above the
common level and link it more closely to
the Divine Spirit. These heroes whose
graves we strew with flowers gave their
lives for their country; sacrificed them
selves and all that they possessed that lib
erty and peace as established by the Con
stitution of the United States might be
freed from the bands that had been
thrown around them, and might flourish
untrammeled, unconditional and without
ranrooc oh

Our Soldiers.

ID AUSE, o nation, reunited
Pause and shed Il tear today
To the .nem'ry of the soldiers
Dead for many and many May!
Dead and dust, perchance it may be
Dead and dust, but long ago
Marched away in flush of manhood,
Glory girt, this dust below.
Marched away as brave men hearing
Calling Of country, yours and mine,
From the hillside and the valley,
From the hamlet and the pine,
Hearts aleap and pulses bounding,
I.oyaI, whether gray or blue;
LOYAL whether cross or crescent;
Duty-that was all they knew.
oh. the glory of their story!
oh! the graves that dot the plain!
o! the mournful tale of battles
Oh, the partings and the pain.
Years and years the grass has blosSomed,
Faded, died, their graves upon,
Years and years, yet not forgotten,
Memries such as theirs live on.
And upon fame's sacred altar,
Writ mid deed OF heroes, glow
Names of these, our soldiers, sleeping,
Soldiers neither friend" nor foe. "
And as soldiers weave them garlands,
Rose and lily Ger them spread; =
Love and tearS-a nations tribnte
To q nations glorious dead.

town in the central district. Thirty un-
armed villagers were ambushed by about
sixty savages. who killed 20 Of them. Only
one escaped. The cause Of the massacre
is said to have been dispute between saw
age tribes over the paternity Of child
and the death of its mother. The reputed
father of the child denied the charge and
refused to make compensation to the tribe
to which the mother belonged. An appeal
to head hunting was the only way by
which the injured tribe could prove its
righteousness to its ancestors. After the
massacre the savages INDUCED in feast.

Ho1y To Teach Pairiofism.

Perhaps the great poem of the civil
war is yet to write; some hand perhaps
now unborn may one day send Il great
epic of it ringing down the ages. Yet
while we wait for it the poets pen has not
been idle and such poems as Barbara
Freitchie," 'Sheridan's Ride" and The
Blue and the Gray" will live perhaps for
ever. They never lost their hold upon us
and sweet it is to hear them lisped by baby
voices, to make their indelible imprint up
on the characters now being nodded into a
lifelong patriotism. 1t is the verses we
learn first which retain their hold upon us
in after years, therefore let us see to it
that the children are taught the ones that
tell the story of some heroic deed. Then
will Decoration day always mean more to
them than an empty name. and the simple
lines perhaps of an unknown poet may
help to send some future hero to his duty
If man is worth knowing at all he
is worth knowing well.-Alexander

ing of fellowship and identity of pur-
pose which demonstrated beyond a
doubt the popularity of the Fair.
The dismissal of the parade was fol-
lowed by the formal opening of the
grounds to the public, soon after noon,
and the people responded to the num-
Der of several thousand. To most of
them. the interior OF the enclosure was
a revelation, and there was the greatest
satisfaction at the completeness of the
arrangements. The addresses had been
liked for one O'Clock, but it was a few
minutes after two before Congressman
Doyener called the meeting to order at
the grand stand, and in few happy
remarks introduced Governor Akin
son, the chief orator of the day, whose
address will be found in full below.
Governor Atkinson was followed by
Mayor Sweeney in a short address, re-
plete with words OF welcome, and dur
ing which he turned over the big key
of the city to Captain Dovener. Hearty
thanks were returned, the Midway was
promptly declared open, the big gates
swung back, and the waiting crowd did
the rest. At that hour-half-past two
the attendance was in the neighbor-
hood Of fifteen or eighteen hundred,
but the people were coming in streams,
and there were probably three thous-
and people in attendance at the height
of the day. The strangers in the city
were numerous, but only constituted
the vanguard of the crowd which will
ccme to-day, tomorrow and Thursday.
Last evening the grounds presented
a very beautiful appearance, and the
attendance was large beyond the fond
est hopes Of the management of the af-
fair. The details Of the day will be
found fully recorded below.
For the information of citizens who
recognize the fact that there is a good
deal of outside talent" in the city, it
may be stated that about a dozen spe-
cial police, including several exper-
fenced detectives, have been placed on
duty, four of them on the Island alone,
and Others in the business portion Of
the city. This force will be added to
if necessary, as the authorities are de-
termined to take no chances. 1t might
also be important to resident crooks to
know that blank warrants have been
filled up for them and signed, and at
the slightest move of an unlawful
character they will be run in and put
under lock and key.
