When tho looks woro compared nud found to dlsugrco nlnrnt tho ox-presldcnt's birthday tlio controversialist", were us much at Hea an over. Thin toy story given lost to thoHo who nro seeking tho truth. Ueorgo Parker wuh tho flrnt to wrlto tho Mory of Orovor Cleveland's llfo for Keneral circulation, When half of tho disputants learned thin they assumed that, owing to tho biographer's udtiilru tiou for Mr. Cluvolnnd, Mr. Parker had understated tho ago of tho ox-presldent. Those who took that view of the matter held that all biographers who camo af ter Mr. Parker cribbed that part of his liook relating to Mr. Glevelaud'H natal day and InHortod it in their own works. TIioho who tako that view of it hold that their Miltlmi is unstained by tho fact that only tho most obscure and less meritorious works have used Mr. Park er's figures, while more reliable hwUh tlilTur widely in tho days thoy fix for tho birthday of Mr. Cleveland, Ah tho au thors who have been asked to explain tho mixture of their dates stand to their colors without deigning to explain, it is more thau probable that the question wilt never bo settled to tho satisfaction of tho disputants, Soiuo authorities fix Mr. Cleveland's ago as low as fifty-two, while otherH cite dates and places to show ho h llfty-novon years old. Campaign biographies llgtiro that Mr. Cleveland is between fifty-three and fifty-six, and leave readers to settle tho matter to their own satisfaction. Wharton's "Lives of Publio Men" sovh that Mr. Cleveland was born "July , 18S1I, in Kssox county, N. J." Welt man's "Biographical Dictionary" asserts that ho ilrst saw day on March II, 18111). Boyd's "Lives of tho Presidents" figures that Mr. Cleveland was born on March 151, 18117, and Cleorgo Parker's bi ography of him agrees with Uoyd. Moody's "Mm of Our Times" finds that Mr. Cleveland camo to light on Feb. S'l. 18110, and Van Onion's "Fatuous Peo ple of All Ages" says, "Stephen Grover Cleveland wtte born on March 18, 18117." Three of tho l)ooks cited from agree that Mr. Cleveland was lioru on March 18, 18117; while of tho remaining three each . gives a different date and all fail to say whero ho was lwrn. Another statement ' that has set tho nrguers by tho ears i comes from Buffalo and says that Mr. Cleveland is on tho long side of sixty. Although it at first annoyed tho gentle men that began tho controversy, thoy now sot tho last roKrt down to tho dis credit of ?Jr. Cleveland's opponents. Still they are groping in tho dark. Every mail brought Mr. Clovelaud a batch of letters from men who wanted to leant how old ho was to tho minute. Tho pertinacity of these seekers after knowledge has annoyed tho ox-prcsidout beyond measure. After replying to sev eral hundred letters, in which ho gnvo bis ago as flfty-fvo, ho ceased answer ing such letters. A friendly acquaint ance, Mr. Cleveland said, suggested that ho have several thousand slips printed with "55" on each one's face, so that they might bo sent as answers to corrcsixmdcnts. Mr. Cleveland was iukcd if ho could explain why men woro prone to rely on unreliable printed matter instead of his own words. Ho smiled and said: "1 guess it is to Ihi attributed to what somo call tho perversity of human nature. It is a matter of no moment to mo who learns my ngo." Nevertheless, tho truth seekers, as thoybeliovo themselves to be, nro pursuing the matter into tho public libraries, whero thoy hope to learn something that will convince them ono way or another. Many who hoticd to obtain now facts to prove tho mellowness of Mr. Clove laud's ago Imvo journeyed to Culdwell for tlmt purpose. Although Culdwcllites point with pride to Mr. Cleveland as their townsman, those who survive in tliat drowsy little village know little or nothing about his birthday. George Parker, ono of Mr. Cleveland's stanch est friends, and tho author of a gilt edge biography of tho ox-president, says ho is constantly pestered by writers of imper tiuent letters calling on him to say what records ho used to base his assertion that Grover Cleveland was born on March IS, 1837. Other communications to Mr. Parker on tho saiuo topic insinu ate that Moody, Wehman and ho con trived in their dates to deceive tho pub lio as to Mr. Cleveland s birthday. F. G.

Its value ami Its heauty can scarcely ho over t'stlmated. it recalls the patriotic past, nnd assures tho patriotic future. It Is evi dence of what we have done and promise of what wo would do In like emergency. It Is at once an example ami a warning, .i triumph and a consecration. The oftener wo celebrate the day, the more Important and precious it should be. In the next century It should assume a character al most sacred. We ore yet too near the war to perceive Its vast proportions and enor mous consequence. We still lack tho per spective for its proper apprehension. Has any other country such a holiday! Other countries commemorate their victo ries. Hut we commemorate victory on one side and defeat on the other, ami lie ing the same people wo regard the defeat nsa victory, since It has led toncousoll dat Ion of our common heritage and our common interests. Latterly, too, we com memorate our recoticilatiou, which, great er thnn any feat of arms or skill of strat egy, attests the advance nnd siqierlorlty of free Institutions. It Is hard to conceive a higher moral spectacle than the day exhibits. In the north nud In the south, where the Union ists and Confederates are burled, their graves are strewn with flowers alike, and equal honors are paid to their memory. Kulogles are pronounced by northern men on southern soldiers, ami hy southern men on northern soldiers. The past, with all Its blood and sacrlllce, Is forgiven, if not forgotten, in a grand spirit of generosity and all emhnu-lug patriotism, Tlio hemes of u generation, passive, if not already past, praise and revere the heroes who gave their lives to a cause which was sacred to them, and which can never arise again, to separate ami make hostile a brave, chivalrous and enlightened people, A war that can produce such results must have been a conscientious war. and mut have been conducted on patriotic prut ciples. It has no parallel in history; it is n proof of civilization; it is an indelible record of a new and most encouraging era which could not have been reached hefore tho present century. Wars generally, ns has been often said, leave tho nations engaged in them In far worse condition than they were at the out set. Our war was an exception. It was more than war for an Idea; it was for a conviction, and iu the interest of progress nnd morality. It left us, after the sacri fice of a million lives and incalculable treasure, Infinitely better off In every way. Tho trensure has Ik-cii repaid fourfold, and the lives lost have entered into the national life, enlarging, purifying and elevating it beyond estimation. Not ouuof all tho men who died has died iu vain, which is always the best recompense for death, nud ono very rarely secured. With such feelings as these we, of tht north nud south, observe and revere tht day. It touches us to our depths nnd till- our souls with a mingled sentiment of sor row nud rejoicing sorrow for what ban gone; rejoicing for what has come and will remain. The day can never become com monplacuor indifferent. It commemorates the true birth of our common country and the apparent perpetuity of its redeemed existence. In the next, century nud the next It prom ises to be more impressive and stimulating thau it is tons, whose fathers, brothers mid frons are sleeping In the graves of a hun dred battlefields. Our posterity will b.i frtiro to honor It and idealize it, as all de voted men and great deeds are apt to be idealized, and to follow tho processions that decorate the mounds amid m allied drums, with hushed voices and tender hearts. Memorial Day bids fair to keep green, through uuuuinliorcd years, tho memory of the truly hemic struggles and frncrlllces that have constituted us A titer iuuw of America.

It requited the carcasses of nearly a hundred bullocks to satisfy tho hunger of tho Indian horde, and after tho feast tho great chief announced that ho was ready to begin operations. Ho hid him bdf iu grove, whence ho could be heard jabbering wildly. In u few niln utes clouds began togather rapidly, then a few drops of rain canto pattering down, and iu les than an hour a furious thun derstorm was raging and tho rain fall ing in torrents. Tito rain continued for ten days, until tho plains were boggy and thucattlocould scarcely move about without getting mired. This was in July, a time of year when oven a slight sprinkle of rain iu that region would be wonderful. Mr. Bishop was amazed, but tho Indians all wore an it's-just-what-wu-expected manner, and ono of the chiefs said to him: "What would bo the uso of having a rain god If ho couldn't bring rain?" During tho summer and fall tho white haired old rainmaker announced many times that it was going to rain, and then hid himself In the grovo and jabbered. And his prophecy never onco missed fire. During tho harvest Mr. Bishop had a difficulty with thu old medicine man. and attempted to enforce his authority by physical means. Tho old fellow rushed tit bint with a kuifo and was promptly knocked down. Tho whole tribo mado n rush for Bishop, who sprang on his horso and lied for his life. Tho rain god drew himself up, tossed his arms and began shouting bis peculiar incantation. Clouds rapidly covered tho sky and before Bishop could reach tho reservation build ings hailstones us big as walnuts were pelting him furiously. Ho was glad to got under u roof and nurse his bruises. Horses and cattle stampeded and tho wholo crop would have been ruined if tho storm had lasted moro than a few minutes. After that Mr. Bishop treated tho rain god with respect until ho and liis tribo returned to their homo in tho mountains. F. F.

"At tho regular meeting of Tlio Tribune directors tho usual monthly dlvldond of 15 per cent, on tho capital stock of $00,000 was de clared." Tho publication of this sort of para graph carries anguish and regret to tho hearts of several prominent gentlemen now residing in Chicago and New York. Tho reason for their woo Is worthy of record. Along iu tho early seventies Mr. Hor ace WJdto was tho editor in chief of Tho Tribune, nnd also ono of tho larg est stockholders. Under his manage ment tho paper "Greeloyized." After tho campaign' of 1873 it assumed tho at titude of an independent journal, with a leanng toward Democratic views. For homo reason business fell away, dividends dwindled and the outlook was not llattering. At this stage of af fairs Mr. Joseph Medill returned from n visit to Europe. Ho bad a small amount of Tribune stock, and his fellow shareholders decided that ho might have moro if he wanted it. Iu a word, they looked on Tho Tribune as a "played out property," and combined to "unload on Undo .Too," who was rich and could l stand it. The upshot of tho matter was that Mr. Medill became tho owner of 100'$ shares, representing a par value of $100,H0. Ho gave his notes at two years for what lw bought and ,took, possession of itho pa per 'Ho ciiht out tlio liberals and made Tho Tribune an uncompromising party 6rgau.
