rONO. I. LRITPI , Inth of Ma', Memorjal Day t those who nobly died for nought, Returns again, mut brings no stain To shatne t'h cause for which they fought. In each low dale and sloping vale Of thi8 bright and beautiful land, 'There sleeps in might some noble knight, Who grandly fell with sword in hand. Along each rill and on each hill That gently rises o'er the plain, There sleeps in dust a sacred trust To us, some gallant soldier slain. By ocean tide and mountain side Our heroes fell in thickest light, And there they rest, their spirits blest, In the realm of heavenly light. Then, matrons scar and maidens fair, 1 Go where the woodland echoes ring. 1 Then come and crown each hallowed mound With the sweetest flowers of spring. Go search each nave and secret cave To find where lie your gallant dead, And crown the grave that died to save You from oppression's ruthless tread. Bring, too, the wreath from Southern heath And lay It gently at the head Of tomb of Lee, whose spirit free Still leads his sainted, gallant (lead. And Jackson, too, the good and true, Who grandly led his legions brave To win the right by dauntless fight, And thus his bleeding country save. Land of the South, O glorious South! Caus't thou forget thy noble slain? Then curst the name and lustrous fame Of them who nobly died in vain. Lr.nd of the brave who died to save, Oh! forget not thy noble slain; But lift a shaft of stately craft To them who nobly died in vain. Then, mothers dear and sisters fair, Rouse ye now to this work of love! And point that shaft of stately craft Proudly towards the heavens above. T'IIE BLACK(WOOl) CASI:.

"Wonder if the engineer's asleep. He don't seem to see that follow signalling him to pull out," remarked the party who had first noticed the man's mo tions. The others looked.

Noy, at Third Creek Church, in Rowan county, N. C., shed no light upon the mystery of the eccentric man wl.'o many have long supposed was the verit able Marshal Noy of France. So much of the skull had passed into dust that it could not be ascertained whether or not it had been trephined. Unavailing search was made in the grave for the silver plate and for the bullets which it was thought by many would be found. A large number of persons wore pres ant, and the exhumation was conducted by eight well known physicians, who made the following report: The undersigned physicians wish to itate that according to previous notice we did to-day cause to be exhumed the remains of P. S. Ney, in the presence of i great number of witnesses, some of hem from Washington City, Raleigh tid other parts of the country. We ound some of the bones only and these ns a state of such decay that we cannot state positively whether the skull had eiveni been trophined or not. We made diligent search for bullets said to have been lodged in tho.bsody but found none.

Unveliling anu Iniani Ido(1. A rock which the Sioux In~dians near Fort Yates, D. T., have worshiped for generations as the poetrified form of aL young squaw, was formally unveiled the other day and dedicated to peace and plenty. It appears that the white set tlers in the vicinity have lonug supposed that this specimen of nature's art work exerted a restraining influence on thet Indians, but of lato the rock has been removed from its original resting p)lae and it was feared that with its removal its charm had disappieared. So the sug gestion was made to Sitting Bull that the statue be placed upon a p)ermanent pedestal and unveiled with appropriiate ceremonies. This pleased the chsieftains and 5,000 Indians assembled to take p)art in the stran go medley of Christian and pagan rites by which the unveiling was Iccomanied.-Reno Gazetto. -The M(exican earthquake seemis not to have been without its compensations.
