A TRAMP .DECORATES A PAU PERS GRAVE. "One Flower for 8eren Oaks and One for Malvern Hill, a Hunch for Old Antletam and Tear* for a Nameless Tomb.” HE LITTLE country churchyard at - was filled with the good-heart ed villagers who had gathered there to do reverence to the dead heroes. Upon the mounds, marked by little flags, whose stars and stripes fluttered in the soft breezes flowers and wreaths were laid in pro fusion, commemorative of the love the living bore for the dead, sleeping so peacefully below. Kind words had been uttered by the good old preacher, whose long, white hair swept about his head as he lifted his face toward the blue, cloud-fleeced sky and asked Ood to bless the loved ones who gave up life for the cause of right, and for all the dead who had taken part In the great struggle of war. And when the flow ers were laid upon two graves lying close side by side, the tears gathered in the gentle old man's eyes as he re called the pair of handsome sons who had gone from the quiet parsonage years ago to dye with their heart’s blood the vernal sod of the sunny south. And now all was over and done, and the good people departed, leaving be hind a few scattering ones walking among the narrow paths of the quiet churchyard, whose silence was broken alone by the twittering of birds among the rustling leaves. A man with wild, unkempt hair straggling about his bronzed, weather-beaten face, stood upon the outside, leaning with crossed arms upon the white picket fence. His clothes were ragged and dirt-stained: BLUB AND GRAY. Their Only Rivalry Now Is In Ilouorlng Dead Heroes. Memorial day preserves Its holy and sacred associations because it mingles Into one, the highest, noblest and most grateful feelings of which mind and heart and memory are capable. The gleam of Joy Is seen through the mist of tears. Flowers bloom and birds are highest up In the nlr, yet the funereal dirge is heard and the flowers are placed on tombs and over mounds where lie the dead sleeping death's reconciling embrace. This rain upon the river and sunshine on the hill are a salutary mingling. For it Is good for us to sorrow, and yet to sorrow with hope chasing away our tears. We cannot for get the past. What Ingrates should we be even If we could. Nor can we be blind to the present. To perceive it is our duty. The tear for the past is in the eye, the Joy for the present lights up the very tear with a radiance born of heaven. Memorial day is to be ob served by Americans in all time be cause It commemorates our dead. It matters not now on which side they fell. They sleep together; and when summoned by the angel will awake to gether and be brothers for evermore. A reverent silence prevails as we put on every mound Its garland. Who asks whether they wore the blue or the gray? We do not know, nor do we want to know, as we traverse the bat tlefields from whose verdant faces na ture has wiped the track and stain of bloody conflict. Some boy, precious to woman, mother, wife, sweetheart, wait ed and waited and waited. He never came, so she went to him. The south and the north weep together. Their only rivalry Is that of loving duty to the heroes gone. Let not a word of faction disturb the solemn tasks of mutual grief on a day which is a day of God. Although the graves of our revolutionary soldiers, of those of 1812, and of Jackson's warriors at New Or leans, may be difficult to discover, one could wish they should all share the honors of the day. And many a gallant sailor boy is buried fathoms deep In ocean caves, and on the lakes where Perry swept to victory, and around the coasts of our southern clime. But “HERE'S A ELOSSOM." his shoes were battered, out at the toes, down at the heels. He was a dilapidat ed specimen of humanity, a voyager upon life’s troubled stream, drifting from point to point as purposeless as a bubble upon the crest of a wave. His eyes were fixed intently upon one cor ner of the churchyard where briars and bushes covered in tangled masses a few mounds. "Forgotten again. Poor old pard! They mean well, but they don't finish the work." The words fell from the lips of the strange man in soft, low whispers. From a pocket of the ragged coat he drew a bit of red cloth and wiped away the tears that rolled down the seamed face. He walked around to the entrance and passed through the little turnstile. No one no ticed the poor, ragged fellow who slow ly wended his way along the narrow pathways toward the tangled corner of the churchyard. When he reached the spot he took off his hat and Btood there with bowed head, gazing mournfully oeiore mm. jnen ne reacnea out ms 1 hand and pulled the briars and bushes aside and bent forward. "Just as I thought. Forgotten. They didn't know you, old pard. They didn’t know how brave you was In time of war. There Is no flag to mark your grave. They didn’t know how proudly you carried the stars and stripes above you at Malvern Hill.” The birds In the bushes were not disturbed by the 1 stranger’s whispered tones. There was something so quieting in the softened tones that the little birds hopped about among the brances so near that his trembling hands could have touched them. The man gathered a bunch of violets from the grass near the fence, and then went back to the brambles and pulled them aside. "Here’s a pretty blossom, pard, for the sake of Seven Oaks; here’s another for Lookout Mountain, where you was great; here’s four or five for Malvern Hill, where you was a hero a nation could be proud of; and here are all the others for Antietam and other places, where you moved with the front line and never backed from your duty. And my tears are for your long days and longer nights spent In the career of a tramp who died a pauper sol dier.” The stranger turned away and walked with bent head out of the graveyard. He passed on down the village street, looking neither to right nor left; and when he reached the brow of the hill beyond he turned toward the peaceful town, waved his hand, whispered "For gotten,” and then he disappeared. When the straggling ones in the churchyard drew near the pauper’s corner they won dered whose grave there had been strewn with violets, and they wondered who had placed them there; but the little birds among the brambles knew, and they kept the secret to them selves. To attack a man with any weapon is a serious matter in Madagascar. It ia punishable by death. though burled beyond our reach of kind, they are none of them beyond our hearts’ affections. And every wreath on every American soldier’s or sailor's grave Is our tribute to one and all and all In one. Decoration Day. Shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart, eyes to the front, the men in blue marched together thirty years ago. The shoulders bore muskets; the hearts were like those of lions in their bravery; the eyes looked forward without flinching to the chance of suffering and death. And shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart, eyes to the front, the men In blue will march together May 30. The shoulders will again bear muskets, but their harmless muzzles will hold bou quets instead of bullets; the hearts, still brave, will be filled with the ten derness of weeping women rather than the fury of fight; the eyes will look for ward through a film of tears to the graves where He the men who fell In those long past battles; to the last rest ing places of comrades who, escaping the dangers of war, have since dropped by the wayside at the call of peaceful death. Heroes all! All honor to them! Make way! Remember the Soldier*. Remember the soldiers, children, Remember them all with flowers! Theirs was the battle and theirs the pain, Ours is the peace and ours the gain; Theirs was the sowing, the harvest ours— And all we can give them today is flowers!

COLO POUND IN GEORGIA. Rnldnl of White County Declares That Territory Loads the World, A representative of the Progress had a long and Interesting talk a few days ago with J. R. Lumsden, one of the most successful gold miners In the country. The talk brought back mem ories of days wuen big "finds” were made In this country, says Cleveland (Oa.) Progress. It was In 1880 that Mr. Lumsden was working for gold on a branch on his place, seven miles above here. One afternoon ho had two men at work when they discovered some small nuggets three feet under the ground. Mr. Lumsden had the dirt removed from a small place and had struck a layer of gravel. In two hours after he had struck it he had taken out 900 pen nyweights of the precious metal. He mined on the same lot for two months, In a space not larger than 50x100, and In that time took out $3,500 In nug gets. In one place, about 10x12, he got 1,200 pennyweights.' Two big nuggett were found on this lot One weighed 341 pennyweights and the other weighed 307. Talking of big nuggets, it waa about five years ago that John Thurmond, while at work on what Is known as the White & McOee prop erty, dug up a nugget which weighed 604 pennyweights. “There are thous ands of pennyweights In White county yet,” said Mr. Lumsden, "and all that Is needed Is money to develop our gold property. Money Is still to be made by placer mining, but the best gold and the most of it is In veins. People can brag, but I can tell you there Is more gold in the ground In White county to day than In any other county in the worm. HE WAS VERY POLITE And Showed It Even When the Home Wat Burning Down. “The coolest man I ever saw,” said a veteran fireman, to a New York Sun re porter, "I met at a Are in a dwelling house. We found him in an upstairs front room dressing to go out. The Are by this time was b’illn’ up through the house at a great rate. “ ‘Hello, there!’ we hollered to him •when we looked In at the door, ‘the house is aAre!’ “ ‘Would It disturb you If I should remain while you are putting It out?’ he said, lifting the comb from his hair and looking around at us. He had on a low waistcoat, and his dress coat lay across a chair. “Seeing us staring at him he dropped his comb into his hair again and went on combing. But as a matter of fact he was about ready. He put down the comb, put on his coat and hat, and picked up his overcoat. “ ‘Now I'm ready, gentlemen,’ ho said. “We started, but the stairway had now been closed up by Are. We turned to the windows, The boys had got a ladder up on the front of the house. " ‘Now, then.’ we said to him, when he came to the window. “ ‘After you, gentlemen,’ he said, standing back, and I’m darned if we didn’t have to go down the ladder Arst and let him come last.” DIDN’T WANT ANY OF THEM. A Virginia Father Led Ills Sentimental Daughter Ont of the Ilouee Gallery. A thrifty old farmer from Loudoun county, Va., came down to Washing ton during the session of the last con gress accompanied by his daughter, an extremely attractive young woman. It was to be a day of sight-seeing, and father and daughter had a Jolly time getting around from place to place.

The old farmer had been reading the papers pretty closely, and he knew what he was looking at as he cast his eyes over the aggregation on the floor, but the girl was thinking about something else. At last she nudged her father. “Well,” honey,” he responded in a whisper, turning to her. “How would you like to have a con gressman for a son-in-law, dad?” she asked, after the manner of daughters on good terms with their fathers. He looked at her a moment and then at the crowd below. “What? One of them?” he said, scathingly, and taking her by the arm he walked out of the gallery in a hurry. Germany's Imperial Train.
