Decoration clay was very generally -ob- served, as a national holiday, on Monday last. The setting apart of a day for adorn- ing the graves and recalling incidents of the struggle that eost tliem their live?, is at once the simplest and' grandest tribute that could be paid to tho memory of the heroic dead. The soothing touch of time has softened the asperities of war, and now over the modest tomb in Riverside Parle, the vic- torious North and defeated South grasp hands in friendly embrace and say with fra- ternal tenderness, \MY IIBOTIIKU I\ In many instances, members of the same family who had played 'together during the day and slept in each other's arms at night lie side by side—the one wrapped in his be- loved blue, and the other in his cherished gray—each dying for tho cause he consider- ed right. Many, such graves were decorated on Monday last by the tender hands of lov- ing relatives, and perfumed with the frag- rance of the same flowers The Grand Army of 20 years ago is rap- idly passing away. Their ranks are gradu- ally thinning, and they w.ill\spon/all be biv- ouaceil in their final resting, place. .jUtWiora Does.it ever occur tojis that jy.hile'-'.Jiany^CK'-'iS 1 * gLTD!%>tai' Tmfhg'lTft'deauY'vveinay 6e,guu%'\o£negloc& ing the living 8 That while rejoicing in our national unity arid strength,, some of tljose who fought to main Sin 'it,\ wjtli shattered constitutions and increasjngy.ears, are fight-r ing single handed, on up-hill battle.^fpr exr istenoe?. That while our legislators are-de- vising schemes for -the disposal and preven • tion of increasing surpluses- they are at the same time denying the brave old heroes a miserable pittance to keep them from the poor house ? Yet such are the facts! Im- po-sible, you say, the pension department looks after these matters. Ah, does it, in deed? That is the intension of the depart- mentj no doubt, but with its present- slow and cumbersome machinery, many brave and deserving soldiers will die in want be- fore relieved by the pension department ' , The time has come for Congress to pass n . general relief bill, providii g foi s Id'e s, who a-e in needy cii-cumta ices .ind lading health, whether or not directly, traceable to expos- ure on the battle field or hardships in camp life. The man w! o stood by his gui s in thehourofnatiohalpe.il , and has an hon- orable discharge, should not be allowed to starve in his old age, simply because a med-i ical examiner fails to discover, that his aches, and pains and general disability are the., di- rect results of war experience—which is .the, case at present. No political aspirant can consistently pose as 'the soldiers' friend, \and liiil to take thi3'sta'rid in their behalf. While honoring the dead heroes, let' not the nation forget the living ones. MEMOBIAL SEEVIQEs'. Synopsk'bf Rev. D. A.\\Fi.rg<inon , ii Addiess. There was'a large attendance at the memorial services in tho M'. E. c'lufch,' in this village*, on- Sunday 'evening last. '' The mus'cal proceedings were ••eo'nducted by Prof. Quigley^ tho choirs oi the Presby- terian and Mi E. churches furnishing excel- l li nt singing. • On the platform were Bey'Ms X. Junkens and D. A. Ferguson. After the opening services, Rov. Mr. Jenkins in a low remarks introduced Rov. Mr. Ferguson as the speak- er of the evening. Mr. Ferguson began by saying that pat- riotism constituted ail in po'rtant element in the religion of tho- Jewish, people, whose faces were; turned in their devotions toward Jerusalem. Our lopublicau form of govern- ment was-an experiment, which, through the wisdom of early rulers and maintained by the patriotism of the people, had given itself the stamp, .of permanency. ,1a a coun- try so largo, taking unto itself national.torni, many dillicull.ies had presented Ithimisolives but they had beep disposed of.as vfcji&T had arisen,. ..The question of.thc right *pf. state secession had been settled at ,thc. f'eai,ful eo^t of the lives of 400,000 of her sons. All- honor to the bravo men w.ho did.tl^e fight- ing whose efforts were crowned. with suc- cess through tho national sentiment that sustained them. They died in the hope that we have lived to see fulfilled—a pre- served Union. Time has worn off the sharp pangs of sorrow for the loss of dear ones, and forgetting (he bitternes of war, w e could now calmly survey the situation. We now recognize no North, no South, 'but a united people, and can strew with floweis the graves of those-'who wore this gray and fought with American valor for what thej', in their mistaken judgment, deemed right) as well as- the graces of those who wore the victorious .blue. That the nation could emerge from such a conflict and enter upon a period of unprccedqnt-d p o p-'ri'y,' : hov3 t e vast resources- and. capabilities of the- country and speaks hopefully: for the future.

Smoke was seen to emerge from tie roof \of tho building and in a few minutes the ringing ol the church bells brought every r-sident of the village lo the spot, also several from Rossie and Caliboga. • As the fire was in the garret it was difficult to reach it and all\ efforts to extinguish it proved fiui'los. The people did all that people ever d'o, or coutd* do,, without organization or fire appliances* So.roe were-level-headed and -fh'a'dii : use 5 off 8 ! every moment to the best advantage, whuV others equally as willing, threw furniture' and glassware out of windows and carried eai-pets and bedding carefully down stairs. Some poured water on the (ire, where it seemed to bernost needed,and others douch- ed it down the's'pinal columns of their co- workers—both equally conscientious in the discharge of llieif duty. •• .Although much of the furniture-was-saved, we'are informe'd 1, many valuable articles w*ere consumed.
