MAY 21. 1687 According to the Union, ths future of Walla depends upon ite ability to raise an immediate 75, 000 subsidy for the Northern Pa cific railroad to build a branch to Wallula. There are only eight hundred Japanese in San Francisco; and, of these, forty are women. The children attend the public schools. The adults are mainly house ser vants, and their proficiency much commended. is A sack of flour in a German mill, falling downstairs, opened and scattered the contents in a cloud through the lower room, where a burning gas flame set fire to the dust, causing an explosion which Hfteda part of the roof of the mill and broke almost all the windows. As unsinkable lite boat, recentj ly patented by a gentleman in Buffalo, N.t Y., possesses some novel features. The entire lower part of the boat is filled with sheets or slabs of cork, set up edgwise and fastened together. " Above this is a filling of rushes, set up vertically and having their ends rendered water-proof. Above the cork and rushos is a water-tight deck, which separates the lower half of the boat from the the upoer half, where seats are provided for crew and passengers. The strange and beautiful cus tom prevailed among the ancients of using flowors and fruits to de note each hour of the day: the first hour, a bouquet of full-blown roses; the second hour, heliotrope; the third, white roses; the fourth, hyacinth; the fifth, some lemons; the sixth, a bouquet of lotos; the seventh, lupins; the eighth, some oranges; the ninth, olive leaves; the tenth, poplar leaves; the elev enth, a bouquet of marigolds; the twelfth, heartsease and violets. And if they wished to appoint an hour to meet any one, they would send the emblem of that hour. In the matter of interstate com merce, the United States are but one country, and are and must be subject to one system of regula tions, and not to a multitude of systems; the doctrine of the free dom of commerce, except as re gulated by congress, is so firmly established, that it is unnecessary to enlarge further upon the sub ject. And the law of Tennessee requiring a drummer, before he can sell goods by sample in that state, to pay a tax and take out a license, is unconstitutional and void. Sabine Bobbins vs. the Taxing District of Shelby County, Tennessee. San Feancisco- furnishes some thing new in the matter of press notices. Generally, when a negro minstrel' or a tragedienne or a tenor shows up in a city he, she or it is on trial, and the question is one of personal ability. Sara Bernhardt, who has twice achieved maternity while still rightfully retaining her maiden name, is now in San Francisco, and the papers of that pleasant city calmly -assure their readers that her histrionic ability is so great that the question is not will she suit San Francisco theater goers, but will San Fran oisco theater goers suit her. As the Post deliriously puts it: uIt is not Bernhardt, but Sari Fran cisco that is on trial." Let us hope in common defense of the coast that San Francisco will be found satisfactory to the Bern hardt woman. It is safe to pre sume that it tne audiences large enough it will. are Greatly frxciKnl. Not a few of the citizens of Astoria have recently become ereatly exci'ed over he astounding facts, that several of their friends who had been pro nounced by their physicians as incur able and beyond all hope suffering with that dreaded monster Consump tionhave been completely cured by Dr. King's New Discovery for Con sumption, the only remedy that does noaitiveiv cure all throat and luncr dis eases, Couehs, Colds, Asthma and Bron- chltls.

R., of this City. Natiokai. Hbadquabtebs ) Gkand Abmx of the Republic. V Madison, Wis., April 15, '87 ) Genebal Oeders: No. 1L f Nineteen years ago the then commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, in general orders, set apart the 30th day of May and sug gested that it be consecrated to the memory of the fallen soldiers of the Nation. This being the first Memo rial day occurring since his death, the commander-in-chief asks that. the elo quent and appropriate words of Gen eral Orders No. 11, 1868, uttered by that illustrious soldier and beloved comrade, John A. Iogan, be again taken as inspiration and gnidance for the 30th day of May. 1687. Hbadquabtebs ) Gband Abut op the Republic. Washejotox, D. 0., May Ctb, 1868. GeSEBAIi OEDEE3, ) No. 1L y I. The 30th day of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strew mg with, nowera or otherwise decor ating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country dur ing the late rebellion, and whose bod ies now lie in almost every city and village churchyard in the land. In this observance no form of ceremony is prescribed, but posts and comrades will in their own way arrange such fitting eervioes and testimonials of respect as circumstances may permit. We are organized, comrades, as our Eegulations tell ub, 'for the purpose, among other things, "of preserving and strengthening those kind and fraternal feelings which have bound together the soldiers, sailors and marines, who united to suppress the late rebellion." What can aid more to assure this result than cherishing tenderly the memory of our heroic dead, who made their breasts a barri cade between this country and its foes? Their soldier liveB were the reveille of freedom to a race In chains, and their death the tattoo of rebellious tyranny in arms. We should guard their graves with sa cred vigilance. All that the conse crated wealth and taste of the nation can add to their adornment and secu rity is but a fitting tribute to the memory of her slain defenders. Let no wanton foot tread rudely on suoh hallowed grounds. Let pleasant paths invite the coming and going of reverent visitors and fond mourners. Let no vandalism of avarice or neglect, no ravages of time testify to the pres ent or to the coming generations that we have forgotten as a people the cost of a free and undivided republic. If other eyes grow dull, and other hands slack, and other hearts cold in the solemn trust, ours shall keep it as long as the light and warmth of life remain to us. Let us then, at the time appointed, gather around their saored remains and garland the passionless mounds above them with the choicest flowers of springtime; let us raise above them the dear old flag they saved from dis honor; let us in this solemn presence renew our pledges to aid and assist those whom they have left among us a saored charge upon a nation's gratitude the soldier's and sailor's widow and orphan. IL It is the purpose of the commander-in-chief to inaugurate this observance" with the hope that it will be kept from year to year, while a survivor of the war remains to honor the memory of his departed comrades. He earnestly desires the public press to call attention to this order, and lend its friendly aid in bringing it to the notice of comrades in all parts of the country in timo for simul taneous compliance therewith. IIL Department commanders will use every effort to make this order effective. By command of John A. Logan, commander-in-chief. N.F Chtpmax, Adjutant General.

There was no set pro gramme, everyone enjoying himself or herself in their own way.; Swings, football, games, etc., whiled the morn ning away and lunch time found ev eryone with a hearty appetite. In the afternoon, with the forest for a back ground, by the shining waters of Young's bay, there was a photograph taken of almost the entire parfy.
