Ex-President Hayes is not in good health, and within the last few years has grown old perceptibly. His hair and beard are almost white. When the French Chamber desired to reduce the price of bread to the peo ple it naturally abated the tariff* on wheat and flour, just as our congress, forced to give some relief to the people, repealed the duty on sugar. These ob ject-lessons will not be lost upon the voters. An exchange whose editor has had it gives vent to his feelings as follows: “Oh! the grippe, the terrible grippe; none front its influence is able to skip. It runs from the nose, it closes theeyes, and to every part of the body it flies. Our head is stopped up and our brain is befogged, our back all in pain and our breast water-logged. We sneeze and we cough anif cannot get rest. The devil himself would die with the pest.” King Carlos of Portugal, whose ab dication is considered one of the jiossi- bilities of the near future, is the third sovereign of the line of Braganza-Co- burg. Since his kinsman, Doni Pedro, was unceremoniously hustled out of Brazil, he has entertained a belief that his tenure of the crown is by no means secure. In fact lie lacks the energy and tact wbicb made his father, Don Luis, so popular. He is credited with enter taining the conviction that a republic is likely to be established in Portugal during his life time. The news that the Vesuvius lias had a successful trial of her dynamite gun will be gratifying to the well-wishers of the new navy. There has been no doubt of the fact that the guns of the Vesuvius are among the most danger ous weapons in the world—the only uncertainty has been whether they were not more dangerous to the men that fired them than to any body else: If they can be proved to be perfectly safe to handle and perfectly trust worthy, European powers will think a long time before trusting their ironclads within range of them. It is highly discreditable to the leg islature of Pennsylvania that it is try ing to avoid passing a bill for Ballot re form. Such a law has been adopted by more than half the states in the Union. The press and the people of Pennsyl vania are very largely in favor of the bill, but the legislature shows plainly the dominion of political “boesisnt,” which has been scotched but killed in that state. The party tricksters seem not to have profited by the lesson of last fall, which wiped their majority out of light, and are oblivious to the fact that the old methods of carrying elections have been practically repudi ated.—Minanapolis News. Thus far the effect of the increased duty on tin-plates lias been to greatly benefit the foreign plate makers. The new rate does not take effect until July 1, and the result is that the consumers of the article are bringing in nil they can buy under the old tariff*. Both tlie importations and the prices have gone up. For the eight months ending March 1 the importations amounted to 523,744,757 pounds, as against 457,189,- 140 imported during the corresponding eight months of the year before, while the price per pound is about one-third of a cent higher for the last period than in the first. Meanwhile the iron-mak ers say that they will require from six to twelve months’ time to build the new mills necessary for the manufac ture of tin-plates, They have already- had nearly eight months, and, al though they have plenty of exhibition stock on hand for McKinleys dinners and newspaper windows, they are un able to supply small Isma-t’ule orders.

And I do not care which you put over the northern grave and which over the southern grave. Does any one say, “What is the use? None of them will know it. Your Decoration Days both sides Mason and Dixon’s line are a great waste of flowers.” Ah! I see you have carried too far my idea that praise for the living is better than praise for the de parted. Who says that the dead do not know of the flowers? I think they <lo. The dead are not dead. The body sleeps, but the soul lives and is unhindered. No two cities on earth are in such rapid and constant communication as earth and heaven, and the two great Decoration Days of north and south arc better known in realms celestial than terrestrial. With what in terest we visit the place of our birth and of our boyhood or girlhood days! And have the departed no interest in this world where they were born and ransomed, and where t bey suffered and triumphed? My Bible docs not positively say so, nor does my catechism teach it, but my common sense declares it. Tho departed do know, and the bannered procession that marched the earth yesterday to northern graves, and the bannered procession that marched a month ago to southern graves, were ac companied by two grander though invLsi- ble processions that walked the air—pro cessions of the ascended, processions of the martyred, processions of the sainted—and they heard the anthems of the churches, and the salvo of tlie batteries, and they stooped down to breathe the incense of the flowers. These august throngs gathered this morning in these pews and aisles and cor ridors and galleries are insignificant com pared with the mightier throngs of heaven who mingle in this service which we render to God and our country while we twist the two garlands Hail spirits multitudinous! Hail spirits blest! Ilail martyred ones come down from the King's palaces! How glad are we that you have come back again! Taka this kiss of welcome and these garlands of reminiscence, ye who languished in hospitals or went down under the thunders and the lightnings of Fredericksburg and Cold Harbor and Murfreesboro and Corinth and Yorktown and above the clouds on Lookout Mount ain. A UNIQUE SERVICE. Among the thousands of gatherings at the north aud at the south for Decoration Days I am conscious that this service is unique, and that it is the ouly one in which there has been twisted two gar lands, one for the grave of the northern dead and the other for the grave of the southern dead. O Lord God of the Am<r- ican Union, is it time that we bury for ever our old grudges? My! My! Can we not bo at peace on earth when this mo ment in lieaven dwell, in perfect love, Ulysses S. Grant aud Robert E. Lee, Will iam T. Sherman and Stonewall Jackson, and tens of thousands of northern and southcru men who, though they once looked askance at each other from the opposite ljanks of the Potomac and the Chickaliominy and the James and the Ten nessee, now are on the same side of the river, keeping jubilee with some of those old angels who near nineteen centuries ago came down one Christmas night to chant over Bethlehem, “Glory to God in tho highest; on earth peace, good will to men!” I have been waiting for some years for some one else to twist the two garlands that I today twist, but, no one doing it, in the love of God and my country I put now my hand to tho work, and next spring about this time, if I am living and well, I will twist two more garlands for northern and southern graves, and every springtime until some man or woman whom I may- have cheered a little in the struggle of this life shall come out and put a pansy Jor two on my own grave. But if the time should ever come when this land shall be given over to sectional rancor aud demagogism, and north and south, or east and west shall forget what the good God built this »Jt’on for, and it shall halt on its high career of righteousness and liberty and peace, and become the agent of tyranny and wrong and oppression, then let some young man whom I have baptized in in fancy at these altars go out to Greenwood aud scoop up my dust and scatter it to the four winds of heaven, for I do not want to sleep, and I will not sleep in a land ac cursed with sectionalism or oppression. And now I hand over the two garlands, both of which are wet with many tears— tears of widowhood and orphanage and childlessness, tears of suffering and tears of gratitude; and as the ceremony must be performed in symbol, there not being enough flowers to cover all the graves, take the one garland to the tomb of some north ern soldier who may yesterday have been omitted in the distribution of the sacra ment of flowers, and the other garland to the tomb of some southern soldier who may a month ago have been omitted in the, distribution of the sacrament of the flow ers, and put both the wreaths gently down over the hearts that have ceased to beat. God bless the two garlands! God save the United States of America!
