Memorial Day.

A large audience was present at the
union memorial services held at the
Methodist church last Sunday morning,
Rev. c. f.. Hutfer, pastor of the Presby-
terian church, delivered patriotic, in
teresting and instructive discourse. The
services were concluded with the sing
ing OF America, in which the audience
Joined. OF course the @. A. X. was
present iu Body and occupied the front
seats as they always do on such occa-
sions.
Memorial Day opened cold and rainy
and the outlook was dispiriting. How
ever the rain ceased about nine o'clock
and, Notwithstanding the muddy roads,
the old soldiers marched to Prospect
Hill, led by Dell and Billy with drum
and fife. Memorial Day would be in
complete without them. The w. X. g..
and goodly number of citizens in car
riages were also at the cemetery and the
usual Grand Army memorial exercises
were held around the grave OF Comrade
Harry Dopp, after which company of
little girls decorated the soldiers graves
with beautiful flowers" When the
first memorial exercises were held there
were only seven or eight soldiers buried
on the hill, now there are 70
Afternoon exercises were held at the
opera house, which was not large enough
to accommodate all who desired to at
tend.
David Anderson was master OF cere-
monies and the program was opened
with prayer by Rev. A. w. Mumford,
which was followed by a song rendered
by a male quartette consisting of Messrs.
Cummings, More, Jennings and Haworth.
Miss Marie Cooper's class of little
girls gave flag song and drill that was
very pretty. This was Commander
Reeds pet piece.
Messrs. Cummings, Billiard and Billiard
next rendered piece of martial music
and answered to an encore, much to the
delight Of the audience.
Miss Dora Cornell and Miss Bessie
Heckert each gave pleasing, patriotic
recitation, then another song by the
quartette, followed by Leaf recitation
by Miss Edith Stansbury.
Judge Heckert exhibited silk con-
federate flag, one that was presented to
the state of Tennessee by Natchez lady
when that state seeded and cast its lot
with the confederacy. This flag was
captured during the war by Capt. Cra-
ven and Is among his. most treasured
possessions. On its folds is emblazoned
in gold letters, "In hoe signo vinces."
They didn't thought The judge made
very pretty impromptu speech, taking
the flag for his text.
Then came the "piece de resistance"
an address by Hon. p. III. Kelley of De-
troit, former Van Buren, county boy
and a son-in-law Of Paw Paw, so to
speak. To attempt to summarize his adj
dress would be vain. Suffice it to say
that it was eloquent, instructive, inter
esting and Pat riotic. His audience
was simply carried away with the ad-
dress and the universal verdict was that
it had never been excelled and seldom
equaled in this place on any similar oc-
casion.
The exercises closed with a vote of
thanks to the committee of arrange
ments and a song by the quartette, and
thus, Notwithstanding the unpropitious
weather of the morning, ended one of
the most successful Memorial Day cele.
bration ever held in this place.

She Took Them at Their Word.

Keuka Lake is one of the most at.
tractive of the great chain of lakes
in the interior of New York state.
Bluff Point at its head is bold
promontory. which rises grandly and
impressively. Ii was upon the banks
of this lake that the famous "Jemima
Wilkinson" founded a colony nearly
three generations ago and announced
that she could walk upon the water
or the lake. A large crowd gathered
to see her undertake the experiment.
Turning to her followers she asked :
Have you all faith that | can walk
upon the water?" I'VE have, we
have." her followers replied. Then
there is no use in my undertaking to
do so" she replied. eff we have faith
ye shall be saved without my walking
upon the water"

Atmosphere of the Planets,

The atmosphere of a world depends
on its gravitation. Gases tend to diff
fuse into space, unless retained by
adequate attraction. Our earth can
hardly retain so light and mobile a
gas as hydrogen; Mars may have off
fculty in retaining the less mobile
vapor of water; but the gravitation Of
the moon is too slight to retain any
known gas, hence she has no atmos-
phere or water. Yet this Is not suffi-
cient reason for assuming the absence
of life.

A Second Noah's Ark,

An old lady recently bargained with
a London cabman standing outside a
railway station to take her into town.
The sum being agreed upon, the dame
returned into the station and soon
reappeared with two parrots in cages,
which she handed up to the cabman.
Again she journeyed to the platform
and brought out two cats. A third
trip she made, bringing back a dain-
tily dressed fox terrier, and a fourth
expedition was interrupted by cabby
exclaiming: Begin your pardon,
ma am. but you amt expecting a
flood, 'ope?"
Dear me, no." was the reply;
whatever made you ask that ques-
ton, cabby?"

Jehu, II thought I'd ask COS I Amt

and | fancied by the look of your lug
gage that you we're a-takin' my keb
