Let it be held in everlasting re
membrance that the 30th of May is
the day set apart to commemorate
our nation's heroes; those who so
valiantly gave up their country:
who left home and friends to fight
for liberty and freedom- "While we
are assembled together to decorate
the graves of our heroic dead with
the sweetest flowers of spring time
and mark their last resting place
with the tributes of our love and
esteem, let us more especially re
member the loved ones whose
graves are unknown, -where they
are sleeping" beneath the sadrtrh?re
no hand of ifriend or loved one can
decorate tbdr graves; where naught
but the silent stars their vigils
keep., and sis.we look? back, we can.
not help saying; "Peace to their

It is for usTthe living, rarler to be
dedicated to the great task remain
ing before us; that from these hon-
ered dead we take increased devo
tion to that cause for which they
gave the last full measure of devo
tion; that we here highly resolved
that these dead shall not have died
in vain; that this nation under God
shall have new birth ot .freedom,
and that the "jrovernment or the
people, by the people, and for the
people" shall not perish from the
earth. It was upon the battlefield
of Gettysburg, at the dedication of
the monument, that Tjincoln. gave
utterance in simple pathos to the
sorrow in a heart bowed down to
earth by the conflict then sweep
ing the country like a cyclone, with
malice toward nene. with charity

J. J. Beattie. formerly of this city, j
for a copy of the souvenir edition of ;
the Juneau, Alaska Mining "Record,
which contains much matter of in

of Uncle Sam's domain. Therein i
may be found the following para
graph relative to the purchase of
that province by this government,
which may be new to our readers:
"The purchase of Alaska from Rus
sia by the United States govern
ment in 1S67 was really not for the
acquisition or more territory, but
far the purpose of paying" a debt of
the war winch President Lincoln
and Secretarv Seward contracted.

ft looked as though England and
France were going to take hold and
help the Confederacy in earnest;
President Lincoln secured from
Russia a fleet of war vessels to help
defend our ports and assist in main
taining a blockade of the rebel
ports. After the war closed Secre
tary Seward got congress to author
ize the purchase of Alaska, and the
57,200.000 that was paid to Russia
for the territory was really in pay
ment for the fleet bill, and bleak
and barren Alaska, with her piles
of mountains and fields of ice, was
thrown in. This secret was well
kept, and General Sherman heard
of it for the first time while in Rus
sia, but kept the secret to himself
for a long time; but since gave it
away at an army reunion. What
jvould Uncle Sam take for his "ice
o ox" to-day? Perhaps this gues
ckm could better be answered in
the three words of -mot for sale."
A number of prominent business
houses in 2vew York are involved in
legal proceedings instituted against
them for selling bogus silverware
stamped as sterling or coin silver.
A number of articles so stamped
have been assayed at the govern
ment mint. None of them came up
to the legal standard, and some of
them proved to be brass. The prac
tice of stamping "sterling" and
"coin" silver on plated ware ap
pears to be a common one. Re
tailers and J manufacturers think
nothing of the deception, because
heretofore no attempt has been
made to give effect to the law re
quiring articles so stamped to con
tain .0925 parts of silver and .0075
of copper. Xow that the prosecu
tion for fraud is on, the retailers
are endeavoring to throw the re
sponsibility on the makers.

JL Cle-rer Wx So Get a Dinner.
I happened to he one of a party erf ix

in the course of hesrruss. There
were s canker, a poliriciaii, a lawyer, a
theatrical mnragerand a something else,
I do not yet know what, in tha company;
The something else made hrerwif ex
ceedingly agreeable. He was, in fact,
the life of the party. He was politeness
itself, and Ms wit and epigrams were
fetching. After dinner he rather sud

'Tn Eure I don's know, " ha replied.
"I thought he was a friend, of joura?1
2To, I never saw him before. I sup
posed he was a friend of yours," I said.
Then I put the zaros question to each c
the others and found that the man was
unknown to any of the party. He had
simply invited himself to dine with us,
behaved like a jolly good fellow and
disappeared at the right moment. The
only thing we have against Ttttt is that
he forgot to pay his bill 2Tew Tcrkr
