BRooK L; N, May 31 .-Yesterday hav- II
img been observed as Decoration Day, I
Dr. Talmage this morning preached an
appropriate sermon. It wais a novel and
unprecedented service, as i different
parts of the audience were many of those 0
who had belonged to both Federal and
Confederate armies, tle subjct having 1
been previously announced, namely.
"Two Garlands 11w Northern and South- t
ern raNves.'' Over the pulpit were two
wreaths of beautiful flowers, and they I
were linked together, so that they were
aln object lesson for the subject present
td. Text: Isaiah xliii, 6--6" will say
to the north, Give up, and to the south,
K eep not back.''
1 tist what my text meant by the north 9
lind south I cannot say. but in the United
States tle two words are so point blank
in their meaning liIt no one can doubt. t
They mean more than east and west, for C
although between those last two there i
have been rivalries and disturbing ambl- I
tions and infelicities and silver hills and c
World's fair controversics, there have v
been between them no hatteries unlim- I
bered, 1no itrienchelits dug, no long
lines of -epilcbral mounds thrown up.
it has never been Massachusetts Four
tecnth regiment against Wisconsin
zollaves; it. has never been Virginia
artillery agaiist Mississippi ritles.
Eas and west are distinct words, and
sOmetimes may mean diversity of' in
terest, but there is no blood on them,
They can be prtionounced without any in
tonatioi of weiling and death groan.~But
he north and the south tire words that
have been surcharged with tragedies.
They are words which suggeat that for
forly years the clouds had been gather
ong for a four years' tempest, which
thirty years ago burst in a fury that
shook this planet as it fis never been
s1iken since it swung out at the firit
world building. I thank Gcd thalt the
WoIds have lost some of the itensity
which they possessed three decades ago;
that a V:st multitude of northert) people
have moved south, and a vast multitude
of southern Peole liave moved north,
and there have heen intermarriages by
tle ten thousand, and northern colonels
have married tle daughters of southern
captains, an( ITexas rangers have umi1'.ed 1
ior lifi, with the daugiters of New York
abolitionists, and their children are half
northern and half southern and tl togeth
er litriotic.
But north and south are words that
Ieed to lie brought into still closer har
mnonization. I thought that now, when
N%e are half way between presidential
elections, and sectional animosities are
at the lowest ebb; anid now, just after a
presidential journey, 'vLen our chier t
magistrate, who was chiefly elected by I
the nort.h. has been cordially received at I
lte south; and now, just Ifter two Me- I
morial Days, one oritlem a month ago,
strewimi, flowers on southern graves, and
thie other vesterdav, strewing flowers
on northers vraves, it might be appro
p1riate and useful for m1 to ]ireach a ser
nion which would twist two garlands,
one for the nort.hern dead and the other
for the southern dlead, and have the twvo
interlocked in a chain of' tlowe:'s that
shall h'indh forever thle two sections into
(onei; anmd whlo knows but, th at this miay
lhe the day wheni the prophecy of the tex~t
made in regard to the ancieuits may be
fulfill in regardl to this country, and the
iiorth m.ive up its prejudices and the
south keep not back its confidencey "I1
will say to the north, Give mil, and to
(lie south, Keep not back.''

Before I put the two garlands I an
Aisting upon the northern and south
rn tombs, I detain the garlands a little
rille that I may put them upon the
row of the living soldiers and sailors 1
f the north and south, who, though at
ariance for a long while, are now at
ence and in hearty loyalty to the United
tates government, and ready, if need
e, to march shoulder to shoulder
gainst any foreign foe. The twenty
ix winters that have passed since the
var, I think, have sufliciently cooled the
hitreds that once burned northward and
outh vard to allow the remark that they
who fought in that conflict were honest
)n both sides. The chaplains on both
armies were honest in their prayers.
I'he faces that went lto battle, whether
uhey marched toward the (ulf' of' Mexico
3r marched toward the north star, were
ilonest faces.
It is too much to ask either side to be
lieve that those who came out from their I
hor ies, forsaki.-g father and mother and J
wife andi child, niany of them never to i
return, were not in earnest when they I
put their life into awful exigency. Wit- <
iess thie last scene at family prayers i i
iniong the (reen mountains or down by I
lhe iields of cotton and sugar cane. Men
10 not %acrifice their all for fun. Men
lo not eat moldy bread or go without

ind pillage, or burning with revenge and I
hirst I >r human blood, but such cases t
vere so rare many of you who were in I
.he war four years never confronted such
mll instance of depravity.
As chaplain of a I'ennsylvania regi
nent, and as a representative of the t
nted States Christian commission, I t
vas for a while at the fr,nt, and in I
hose hospitals at Ilag. rstown and Wil
inmsburg and ip and down the poto- I
nac, where aill the churches and Farm
iouses were filled with wounded an(l
lying Feder8als and Confederates, I for- I
lot ainid the horrors to ask on which I
Ide they fought, when with what little I
id I could take them for their suflering i
odies, and the mightier aid I could pray i
ror their souls, I passed the days and.
monthis amid scenes that in muy memory
seem like a ghastly dr'eam rather than a
possible areality.
WVhen a New O)r'lcans boy, unable io
inawer myi) question as to where lie wasi
tiurt, took oaut ti-om the folds otf the oniy v
armnent that had not bleen torn oflf hiun

hough it had been a northern Ne'w Tes

uarn at Bloonesville his last message to

A nd when I picked uip from the battle

The Weather and the Cropg.
The weekly weather and crop bulle
tin of the South Carolina Weather Ser- t
vice, in co-operation with the United a
States Signal Service, for the week end- 1
ing Saturday. is as follows, showing a
uniform improvement in the crops all
over the State: f
Tho reports received from weather f
crop correspondents for the past week
d
show that the rainfall has been above a
the normal and well distributed t
throughout the State, and was greatly 8
needed and very oeneticial to all crops. V
The temperature hits been below the I
average, the nights have been very cool a
for the season and therefore injurious a
somewhat to cotton. There has been C
a very small amount of sunshine and 1
Ior the want of it cotton to some extent
has been injured. c
About two-thirds of the crop was
plante<I early in the season, and was
greatly retarded by the long dry t
weather and cool nights. The remain- 1
der of the crop was planted later, and t
since the recent rain show good stands. r
The partial ipropitious seasons for .
the last week show that there has been
some improvements in the cotton crop
nevertheless. Carn is in splendid con
dition and growing rapidly, and pros
pects now are the crop will be a full
average one. The fall oat crop has
been considerably improved by the rains
and will be a fair average. The spring
oats are, in some localities, inferior,
while in others it is in line condition.
A rea of the wheat crop, although small
er than usual, is about an average. The
truck farms are in good condition
and are shipping large quantitits of
vegetables. A large area has been
planted in melons, but ti.a crop is late
and some complaint is bt ing made that
the cr(,- i.; being injured by bugs. No
infortmatiol. has been received as to
the conditiin of the rice crop. Upon
the whole thiu. prospects for fair crops
are greatly improved compared to the
several past weeks.

the shoes the robber covered the boy
with a pistol and ordered him to hand
over the money in the drawer and also
to open the safe. IHe had complied
with the first part of the order and gave
about lifteen dollars, but not knowing
the safe combination could not c pen it.

Ihmmm.m, Mlay :M.-T1he Hebrew relief
commlittee here has secured a long rail
way tunnel at Charlottesburg in which
to shelter the l1ussian ,Jews en route to
IIambumrg for embarkment. Boxes of
cloth ing and necessaries, enormous boil
ers of tea and coffee and supplies of
bmreatl and brandy are in readiness to re
lieve tne misery of the crowds of fugi
t ives that daily pour out of the railway
t rains.
Mlany3 heartrending scenes are descrb
edl andi tales told of thme extreme suffer
inig. Mlany fugitives had to leave on
a (1ay's not ice andI were compelled to
abandon everything but what they
stoodl in, while others, often hardly
able to walk, are seen staggering
under sacks containing all their present
wyorldly p)ossessions. in many cases the
f ugitives are of the poorest classes, with
numerous scantily clad children cr,ying
for bread. All are shy and suspicious,
remembering their ill treatment at thie
ljussmanm railway stations, and they fear
1 resh torment if they enter the wvaiting
rooms. A doctor attends the children
who are ill from the effects of the jour-,
[ney.
Them fugit.ives describe how the streets
ini which they livedi would be suddenly
'ordioned with police searching for .Jews
who would fly for safety; how the doors
of syragogues would be wrenched, and
troopls of armed men would tie their l
hmands amnd feet and plunder everything d
n the place, and howv on arriving at the
frontier the police would extort fresh q
bribes to allow them to cross, a

SPRINGFIELD, ILL., Jtune 8.-An ex
raordinary scene of wild confusion
ud excitement was witnessed in the
)wer house of the General Assembly
his afternoon when the World's Fair
ill, which as passed by the Senate ap
ropriated one million dollars for the
Ilinois exhibit, was acted upon. Ef
orts to reduce the appropriation to
00.000 or $600,000 were successively
efeated, but on the motion fixing the
mount at $750,000 it was apparent that
be vote would nearly be a tie. Then
peaker Crafts (Democrat) voted for
he amendment, and ignoring a Repub
can member who wished to change
nd vote in favor of the bill hurriedly
nnounced that the vote had been
losed. Then the House became a bed
%m of shrieking, blaspheming and hur
abing ien, while Crafts coolly de
lared that the $750,000 amendment
ad been adopted, 76 yeas to 73 nays.
n the face of a terrific storm of pro
est the Speaker would listen only to a
notion to adjourn and calmly declared
he motion carried. Members were
kow yelling and running about like so
nany Comanches. Half a dozen made
rush for the speaker to drag the
Czar." as they called him from the
.hair, but were forcibly held by his
riends. More than one legislator
eached for his revolver and a riot
eemed inevitable. Mclnery, of Chica
jo, Democrat, at this moment jumped
to the Speaker's stand and shouting:
'We'll reconsider it to-morrow," finalfy
mcceeded in bringing about a truce.
It is expected that another outbreak
vill take place to-morrow.
