An east wind, and blazing sun last Sunday sent the mercury up among the eighties, and for a few hours it was nnoomfortably warm. In the af ternoon came a cool wind from the west, which at sunset changed to a brisker oarrent of air from the south. Yesterday the sky was partly over cast and the thermometer indicated sixty-eight.

Memorial day was generally ob served as a holiday yesterday, the banks, public buildings, stores, etc, being mostly closed, and appropriate observance was made of the day. In the afternoon a proceasien was formed at two o'clock, on Cass street, which marched to the cemetery. In front was the Western Amateur band, which appeared for the first time in the new uniforms, making a very fine and showy appearance. As thev marched they played a dirge; they were followed by Co, "H.,M O. N. G., with arms .reversed; the Woman's Belief Corps, the ladies'carryingmag- umcsnt aorai aecoranons; al ter, them, headed by the -flag, came Cushing Post N07 14, Q. A. B. It was an impressive, thought as the procession marched down ihe street, that a thousand other processions, on the same mission,- were marching in the streets of other cities of the Union, with banners draped and arms reversed, bands playing the dead march and ladies carrying flow ers and wreaths to lovingly and sor rowfully decorate the graves of the soldier dead. Arrived at the cemetery, the militia opened ranks, the corps and post passed through, and prayer and per formance of the liturgy occupied the next few minutes. As- the po3t fell back, Co. 'H.1 walked forward nd fired three volleys; then stepped to the right and the ladies of the Wom an's Belief Corps decorated the graves with flowers and floral wreaths. The processioa reformed, the band played a livelier tune, the militia car ried their guns at Tight shoulder shift, and the parade moved to the Congregational church, yrhere Kev. G. C. Hall, the pastor of the church, and a member of the G. A. B , deliv ered the following MEMOBIAIi ADDRE33: Comrades and Fellow Citizens: It is entirely foreign tome, to come before an audience with exousea or apolo gies, and it is with great reluctance that I yield to what I have ever deemed a weakness on the part of any speaker, but in justice to the no. ble organization under whose auspices we are met as well as iu justice to my self.let me say that not until af terl had read The Astobian of Friday last did I know that a stated address would be expected of me at this time. Being a minister, I had then to finish my preparations for the morning and evening services of yesterday; there fore, may I not ask that, in kind in dulgence, you cover with a. mantle of charity whatever of crudities shall ap pear in my remarks on this occasion. Having worn the blue and being a member of the G. A. B., 1 could not refuse to respond to the invitation to address this gathering. Indeed, I esteem it high honor to be selected to pay a tribute of respect to the memory of our comrades, sleeping in the city of the dead, to whom, under God, we owe the preservation of this Union, and the perpetuation of those principles of free government so highly and so justly prized by every patriotic American citizen. To-day it has been our patriotio duty, and sacred privilege sb well; with solemn and impressive service to lay floral tributes of respect .and love upon the graves of some that re sponded to our country's call for vol unteer defenders in the hour of her greatest peril. No time could be more propitious for such a worthy purpose and fitting ceremony than these last days of spring when nature has covered the earth with verdure and strewn floral beauty thickly among the trees and the grasses. This is a holy day, set apart by act of congress, for loving hearts to scat ter, with willing hands, sweet flowers, dewy with grateful tears, upon the graves of onr honored dead. More than a quarter of a oentury has elapsed since the tocsin of war was sounded by the cannon that battered the walls of it Sumter, and lax mem ory has, in a measure, let go hechold upon the terrible eyents that followed in quick succession that historic bom bardment Little did they who then precipitated the war of the rebellion anticipate the awful period of car nage that they then and there inaugu rated. Before me is a telegram, sent more than twenty-six years ago, dated "Charleston, S. C7 April 12, 1861." It says, "The ball is opened; war is inaugurated. The batteries of Sulli van's Island and other points were opened on Ft. Sumter at four o'clock this morning. Ft. Sumter has re turned the fire and a brisk cannonade is being kept up." Yes, my friends, and that cannon ade, not half so brisk and destructive as that which followed during a pe riod of nearly five years, that brisk cannonade kindled the patriotic in dignation of the free sons of the north, who left the farm, the shop, the store and the office to take part in the war, so inaugurated, that they might preeerye the Union whioh these traitors would destroy. The brave boys who took part in the war for the preservation of the Union, and overthrew the slaveholders' aris tocracy, were no hireling, conscript band. They voluntarily, left comfort able homes, where parents, brothers ana sisters, or wives ana cauaren formed happy home circles, left them for the tented field, for the dangers and discomforts of war, with no hope of reward save the consciousness of patriotic duty peffosned. No one within the sound of my voice have better, or happier homes than many of them left for thestern duties of a soldier. As examples" of thought ful,' patriotic manliness, history fur nishes no peers of those who joined the tanks of the i volunteer army dur ing the war. This memorial calls to mind the faoee and forms of many dear to me, who paid the last full measure of de votion to their country on the field of battle, or in the dreary field hospi tal. The company which, as a mere lad, I entered in 1861, was made np of old acquaintances, schoolmates and friends, wholly annsed to danger and privation, but who shrank from neither when and where duty called. Some of them many of them fell in battle; some died in rebel prisons, many in the hospitals, and of the remnant left at the close of the war, most have joined their comrades gdne before. I have not time, nor is it my pur pose to reoite their valorous deeds and tell of their sufferings. No pan oramas con portray, no pens depict, no tongues tell the horrors of war. Not alone on the field of battle where the cry of the death-struck, the groan of the wounded, mingled with shout, roar and rattle greet the ear, and the bleeding forms of loved comrades meet the eye not there only, but in hthe hospital where pale-faced -boys gasp and die without a word of love. for the touch of a loving hand, and Mn desolate houses "where the anxious tremble for the fate of loved ones in the battle .front, and the bereft weep for the non-returning brave, there, there may the horrors of war be seen and felt .TBe G. A. B. is a fraternity of those who took part in the war for the pres ervation of the- Union and they are banded together to assist their wounded and enfeebled comrades; to comfort and care for the widows and orphans of those who fell during the war, and of those soldiers who since the war have paid the last debt of nature common to all mankind. They are banded together to protect their rights to whom the nation owes its existence; to preserve the esprit de corps of that great volunteer army that under such leaders as Grant, Sherman and Sheridan crushed the greatest rebellion known to history, and they are banded together to keep fresh the memory of our departed heroes. Our organization will soon be extinct, as death is more and more rapidly depleting onr ranks, while age steals upon those who alone can be in its membership. The sad, loving office over which the gray-haired boys of the G. A. B. now preside, must soon be committed to the hands of their children. With this thought comes sad ques ques teonings: Will coming generations be true to the cause of human rights and liberty, of law and order, of so cial justice and national rectitude? Will they honor our dead by serving the country for which they died? Will they continue to obsorve this "festival of the dead," by gathering each year in the cemeteries where their patriotic ancestors are buried, to decorate their graves, not only "with floral tributes that must fade, but with that charity that isj fruitful of good works; with thot loyalty which, while true to our country's flag, is supremely de voted to the cross, tho Bymbol of our Xaith?" Or will they, forgetful of the debt of gratitude resting upon them, allow the memories of their brave sires to bo buried, in oblivion, ana their graves to be leveled through their ungratiful forgetfulnesB? The editor of the Omaha Republican has well said that: "To scatter flowers upon their graves, and care for their loved ones, is all that we can do for the men who have done so mnoh more than that for ns. When we shall cease'to do that out of tho warm gratitude of our hearts, the republic will not deserve to exist as a nation." My friends, is it not highly fitting that this memorial shall be religious ly observed bo long as the stars and stripes shall float over the capitols of the states whose unification and present nmty is due to their heroic endeavors who "stood between war's desolation and our loved homes?" It is true they need no monuments to tell of what they achieved, other than that of a united, happy, prosper ous nation, untrammeled in its pray ers and unvexed by dissention. This monument they have erected to their own honor and may it be pre served by our children's patriotism, unimpaired by time, a precious legacy for coming centuries, but we and our posterity do need monuments erected to their memory on which shall be inscribed tho cost of liberty, counted in the tears and blood of its purchase price. The poet Longfellow, standing by "A Nameless Grave," wrete: " 'A soldier of the Union mustered out Is the inscription of an unknown crave. At Newport News, beside the salt sea wave, Nameless and dateless; sentinel or scout Shot down in skirmish or disastrous route, Of battle, when the loud artillery drovo Its iron wedges through tho ranks of brave And doomed battalions, storming the redoubt." "Thou unknown hero sleeping by the sea, In thy forgotten grave; with secrej. shame. I feel my pulses bent, my forehead burn When I remember thou hast given for me, All that thou hadst, thy life, thy very name And I can give thee nothing iu return." We indeed can give them nothing in return for their great sacrifice who yielded up their lives for us: we can give them nothing in return save our love's grateful remembrance which, while it honors them, ennobles us. In the beautiful language of our ritu al, we may "recall their toils, their sufferings, their heroism, their su preme fidelity in camp, in prison pen, on the battle field and in the hos pital, that the flag under which they fought, and from the shadow of whose folds they were promoted, may never be dishonored; that the country for whose union and supremacy they sur rendered life, may have the fervent and enthusiastic devotion of every citizen; that as we stand by every grave as before an altar, we pledge our manhood that the memory of onr dead shall encourage and strengthen in us all a more loyal patriotism." To-day, thanks to the boys of 18G1, our Union is linked by the briny wa ters of old ocean washing the new shores of Washington, Oregon and California on the westjwasliing the old shores of tho thirteen colonies be tween Florida and Maine on the east; it is linked by silvery waters spring ing from thousands, of fountains in the far north or leaping from their mountain home in the Bookies; unit ing and uniting till, as a mighty flood, they roll to the gulf in our own Mis sissippi that "now goes unvexed to the sea." It is linked by steel bands over which thunders the locomotive, bearing in its tram our products from north to south, from south to north, from east to west, from west to east, in reciprocal exchange; bearing hap py hearts from home io home, from city to city and from state to state in social and business intercourse; and bearing printed and written intelli gence upon wings swifter than tho wind. Our Union is now threaded by electric wires flashing every sensa tion of joy or sorrow, peril or pleas ure, news or business, like as a great nerve system, from city to city, from village to village, so that no partof our great commonwealth can suffer injury without affecting every other part. More than all, better than all, the Union is now linked together in the hearts of our people, east and west, north and south, by an intelli gent appreciation of its incalculable worth to this, and to succeeding gen erations. With a just and true appreciation of. the value of this great nnion of independent dependent states, now purged from the stain of chattel slavery, wo cannot but cherish the memory of those who have given so much, counted in treasure, suffering, tears and blood, for its perpetuation. To-day we have united our voices and hearts in a beautiful prayer of the Grand Army ritual, thanking God that the "anger of the oannon no longer burdens the air; that the gleam of the sabre and bayonet no longer blinds our eyes; that the pas sion of war is stilled, and. that mercy ministers to those who have submit ted to the authority of the nation;" and we have prayed that we may bo able to give to those lately in arms against us, "a soldier's pardon, not forgetting the wrong that was done ill the charity we accord." No, we cannot forget the wrong that was done, but a soldier's pardon to a de feated enemy permits no crimination or recrimination. "The charity we accord" extends tho hand of fel lowship to those who have submitted to our nation's authority. Glad are we "that tho passion of war is stilled." So glad aro we that wo would not again awaken it by endeavoring to arouse sectional animosities. Whilo as yet war devastated the land and the sound of cannon was ringing in his ears, Lincoln, our greatest, our most loved president, in his second inaugural address, gave utterance to that noble and enno bling sentiment, "with malice toward none, with charity for all, with firm ness in tho right ns God gives us to see the right, let ua strive on to finish tho work we are. in;, to bind up the nation's weuudn: to care for him who shall have borno tho battle, and for uis widow aud For his orphans; to do all which may achieve and cherish n just and lasting peace nmoug our selves and with all nations.'' "It was for a Union purged of chat tel slavery that the war was waged, on the part of our -armies; and since that Union depends for its existence upon the intelligent, virtuous, volun tary and patriotic unity of the people, that which tends todivide-onr people, or to perpetuate division and strife, tends to rob our soldiers and this na tion of tho fruits. of their glorious and hard -won victory. It is for us to cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and-with all nations and to bind up tho Nation's wounds." This wo may beat do in the spirit of the sentiment, wilh malico toward none, with, charity "for all, with firm ness in the right as God gives us to see the right. Let us rejoice in every token of good feeling between tho north aud the south. We roioiced that tho leading generals of the south ern army and those of the northern army could clasp hands over tho mor tal remains of our great commander, Gen. Grant, and together drop sym pathetic tears with his bereaved ones, ns citizens of one country. We re joice that the union has been so far cemented in the hearts of the people that to-day, in southern countries the same loving hands have scattered flowers on the graves of those that wore the blue and the gray alike. Let there be uo emulation or strife among us save that, noble emula tion wuo can oeat serve our great commonwealth ond so shall we achieve and cherish a just and lasting peaco among our selves. In closing, our thoughts re turn to the dead and with the poet we say: 'Sleep, comrades, sleep and rest Oh the field of the grounded Praia, Where foes no more molest, Nor sentry's shot alarms Ye have slept on the ground before, And started to your feet At the cannon's roar, Or the drum's redoubling beat .due in mis camp ot death k No sound your slumber breaks; r V Here is no fevered breath,- 1 .No wound that bleeds and aches All is repose and peace, Untrompled lies tho sod; The shouts of battle cease, It is the truce of God , t - t Your silent tent3 of green L 5 We deck with fragrant flowers; V Yours has the suffering been me memory snail be orrs."
