Wve,oompact, pictur.?sque, reminiscent, combining the martiai strength of to-day and What is left of the soldiers of the sixties, was in every way successful, with young manhood in the front, and the graybeards and j? their children and children's children bring? ingup a sturdy and cheerful rear.

Old Gen. Dally, who does not look his ninel j-four years, was One of the guests in carriages, and was Cheered all along the line. i- The parade wound up with a number of boys' organizations, including some posts of the Sons of Veterans, and live companies from St. John's College in a pretty uniform i resembling that of the State militia. The whole parade was an hour and twenty miuf Utes in passing the stand. <* :. The memorial services at the tomb of " General Grant in Riverside Park during the ;; afterfioon were of a remarkably impressive character, and particular significance atBfr,': tached to them, because anions the partici'pants were many Confederate veterans, ?* while an ei-Conrederata soldier.

Y., approached an electric light that huag over a deep cut a dark, moving mass, ex* tending about sixty feet along the track, was observed. Tho engineer hesitated a moment, but not being of au investigating turn of mind determined to plow through the obstruction. As the wheels rolled over the mass a loud, crackling sound, like the successive explosions of toy torpedoes, cime from beneath the engine. The progress of the engine beI carne slower and soon the driving wheals began to slip upon the rails and the train ca*no to a stop. A.n examination revealed the presence of swarms of a peculiar insect which bore a resemblance to the electric light bug so well known in these parts, though the multitudinous possessors of the track were somewhat larger, the outer shell of the back being aiva chflnn n? half ft sh?n<rhfti eggshell. It was this turtle like armor thp.t ( gave forth the crackling sound. The shell is black and partakes of the nature of stone. Au examiaation of the quarry showed small holes bored in the sides which were apparently the habitation of some insect, and the kind found upon the track are believed to be a species of lithodome or rock boring mollusk. Those who claim to know see in thes9 the sha low of a coining hot summer ami a precursor of the arrival of the dreaded electric bug. To secure the shipment of the stone it was necessary to let the loaded train from the quarry above come down the track with a momentum sufficient to plow a thoroughfare. REBELLION IN HAYTI.

High Winds Play Havoc in tho West. Loss of Life and Property in South Dakota. Over one half the United States was simultaneously soused in water on a recent night, says a dispatch from Chicago, 111., and the edge of the great spot of wet was made ragged with a cyclone. The condition af telegraph wires north, south, east and west from Chicago showed a state of affairs seldom, if ever, equalled. Soaking rains were in progress, accompanied with driving winds to New York on the one side, to New Orleans on the other, stretching bayond St. Paul and Minneapolis to the north and in the west for an indefinite distance. Milwaukee, Wis., reported the worst electrical disturbance on record, making telegraph and telephone communication impossible, except at brief intervals. Further northwest in the Dakotas many towns were cut off, and a cyclone ravaged the country about WatertowD, South Dakota. A dispatch from Water town says. A small, dark, funnel-shaped cloud suddenly ippeared in the south during the afternoon ibout 3:39 and soon develops i into a hurricane. It appeared close to the ground uid in its whirling motion people saw that it was the dreaaei tornado, and the -oar which accompanied it was like a huge ire snaDDine and crackline in its onward :ourse. fortunately it struck the city on the ixtreme eastern limit, where the buildings vere scattered, and the whole city tonight 9 thankful that it came no closer. Six barns were demolished. The path of ;he storm was only about 100 feat wide, and t was remarked as strange that not a single louse within the city limits was in its vay. Horses were lifted from the ground, hurled into the air, and sent sprawling to the earth. Wagons were :aken up bodily and hurled to atoms. Five ilea northeast of Watertown two houses md three barns were literally carried away, rhe debris from the storm as it left this city .pread along its line for nearly a mile. ? At Waverly, twelve miles northeast, two :oal sheds were ruined and the smokestack )f the roller mills flattaneJ to the ground. D. P. Chandler and his son were in one )f the barns when the storm struck t and they were pinned under the joards until assistance came, but were oniy slightly injured. Threo people were killed it Hazel, sixteen miles southwest of Watertown, and the storm is said to have been irerv severe in that region. A heavy rain followed the storm, but did ao damage. This is Watertown's first cy;lone experience, and many people were badly frightened. The damage to property in the county cannot be correctly estimated intil the places have been heard from. A storm passed over St. Louis, Mo., and lid considerable damage to wires of all kinds, relephone po'es were blown across the street railway tracks and caused a cessation of that traffic and a great inconvenience to those aU- ....I I llYillg JU lUt?

The proceedings came to a close with an address by Judge Crabtree on behalf of the Grand Army of the Republic, and the procession reformed and marched back to the city. The monument is the giftofH.H. Kohlsaat, a former Galena boy, and now one of the millionaire citizens of Chicago. James W. Scott, ot the Chicago Herald, initiated a movement by which an elevated plot of ground on the east side of the city, forty feet above the Galena River, and covering si* acres, was ordered uurchased and to be forever dedicated to the city for park purposes. The inclosure was named Grant Park, and already contains a magnificent soldiers' monument, and a fountain erected by the ladies of the cltv. The statue is of bronze, eight feet in height and weighs about four tons. It is mounted on a pedestal ten feet high. It represents Grant as the simple citizen. The Dose is easy, one hand being thrust into the trousers pocket, the other tucked carelessly inside the vest. There is no suggestion of the military about it except the old array, coat. Mississippi's Monument. The monument to the Confederate dead of Mississippi was formally unveiled at Jackson, Miss., in the presence of an enormous crowd, at least 15,000 of whom were from without the city. Amongthe prominent veterans present were Governor Gordon, of Georgia, General E. K. Smith, General Cabell, Brigadier-General J. M. Billups, General J. A. Smith, and Governor Stone, of Mississippi. The line of march was taken up to the music of cheering veteran3, the Stars and Stripes being carried at the head of every division, and side by side with the national ens:gu waved tattered Confederate battle flags. The monument was unveiled bv Mrs. Margaret Davis Hayiies, of Colorado, a daughter of Jefferson Davis, and was presented by Miss Saliie B. Morgan, tbe presentation speech being made by C. E. Hooker, and Colonel J. B. Mackintosh accepting it nn hfholf nf t.lifi Hrmfprff-i-atn vfitArann The monument is sixty feet four inches from the base line to the top of the statue of the soldier surmounting the column. Oa the north and south sides of the monument there are large tablets of marble, with the inscription: 'To the Confederate Dead of Mississippi ." The total cost of the monument was nearly $20,000, of which half was subscribed by the State Legislature and the rest raised by a ladies' committee. Calvert Monument Unveiled. The guns of the State navy boomed a salute as the monument to Leonard Calvert, the first Governor of Maryland, erected oa the site of the old mulberry tree at St. Mary's City, was mi veiled.

Cardinal Gibbons, who was to have made the invocation, was unable to be present and delegated the Rev. Joseph Cunnano to do it. J. Thomas Scharff, the historian of Maryland, through whose eflorts mainly the monument was erected, made a historical address. A Soldiers' Monument at Watertown. A monument costing $10,000, erected in the public square of Watertown, N. Y., by the munificence of George Cook, in memory of the soldiers and sailors of Jefferson County, was unveiled. Waldo G. Morse, of New York, presented the monument to the town on behalf of the donors, and Mayor W. F. Porter accepted it. MARINES KILLED. Fatal Accidents on Board fhe Cruisers Yorktown and Concord.

My husband is an infidel, but he did respect Christianity a little until one night: I took a character in a drama played in our church. That night I lost my grip on my husband. I am afraid I shall never get it again." The church that resorts to broom-dnlls and dramas and mum socials and fairs and festivals to raise money is without the faith that takes hold on God. A genuine Holy I unosi revival is a miihk unknown, miners u have lost their grip on wayward sons, moth- t era have lost "their grip on unconverted ? daughters, the church has lost her grip on t God.

The Christian at Work sp?aks thus ol "worldliness in the church," and calls us as Methodists to account: '"The greatest danger to the church of God today springs from the spirit of worldline>s which" is iuvading it. The lust of tbe eye and the pride of life afford the most subtle and perilous forms of temptations. Thousands are unconsciously subjected to these temptations and become their victims without being fully aware of it themselves. So little do they know their own hearts and secret impulses that probably they would resent with scorn " the accusation of being worldly and of entering the sanctuary to show otf their fineries or to see the hats and cloaks of other ladies. Yet this is too often and too sai'iy tbe exact truth. Tbe proof of it is, l hat i/ach people stay away from Divine services when they have 'nothing to wea*' which means when their garments are just a little out of style; or wlien they cannot liope to see a fine array of nett: hats ami dowers.

It is easy by example or word or deed to lead men and women astray, but not easy, when we see our mistake and repent, to lead them back to the right way. Impressing this truth upon parents, Mr. Moody said in a recent sermon in Boston: "I remember being engaged in conversation, some yea#s ago, till East midnight with an old man. He had een for years wandering on the barren mountains*of sin. That night he wanted to get back. We prayed, and prayed, and prayed till light broke in upon him; and he went away rejoicing.

As we saw in the last esBon Josiah's turning to God and great reival reached bat a few comparatively, while he nation as a whole continued in sin. "They oocked the messengers of God, and despised 3is words and m'stised His prophets until the rrath of the Lord arose against His people, 111 there was no remedy. Therefore He rought upon them the king of the Chaldeei o fulfill the word of the 1 urd by the mouth of eremiah." " According to tbo Word of the Lord." Alhough Jeremiah, t'.ie prophet, was bated, ier<ecuted and all but slam for the Word of he Lord which ho uttered, yet he was right ad the Lord was with him, and all othera ? rere wrong. It is grand to stand with God j>d leave all results to Him. 2. "And tbo city was besieged onto the leventh year of Zedekiah." Jeremiah had at his time been a prophet forty years, for he ?gan in the thirteenth year o( Josiah, after rhich Josiah oontinued eighteen years, and he eleventh of Zedekiah wai twenty-two years ater. . v 3> "The famine prevailed in the city, and here was no bread for the people of the land."

But now 'Gocf had given the dearir beloved of His oul into the hand of her enemies " (Jer. xii, ), jast as He had said (I Kings ix, ti 9).

But no amount if warniug was of any avail with Zedekiah. iead how again aud again God had warned lim by the rm.uth of Jeremiah (Jtr. xxi, L-9; xxvii, 12; xxxii, 3-5). But he only gave teremiah iinprisouoient for his good advioe, nd hardened his heart yet more, preferring o believe the lie* of -the false prophets who >rophesied smooth things. 7.
