"The two senators elected last week --Faulkner, of West Virginia, and Pas­ co, of Florida, both served la the rebel army. Neither of tbelr predecessors was in either army; Camden, of West Virginia, being a bank president dur­ ing the struggle, end Jones, of Florida, practicing law.11 "There's More Rejoicing," etc. The President has at last found ene Post that Indorses his veto, and h« has written a gushy letter te it, which the obsequious Associated Press has trans­ mitted all oyer the country. It reads as fellows: EXECUTIVE MANSION, WA8HINGTOM, May. 18,1887 1 Ben Jones was a capital fellow, But be was so confoundedly sallow I That his friends all forsook him. E'en his sweet heart die shook him, Which made poor Ben loudly bellow.

DEAR SIR:--1 am in receipt of your letter of the 7th Irst., transmitting handsomely engroasei--resolutions of Gen. U. 8. Grant Post, No. 13, approving my executive anion in vetoing the Dependent Pension Bill. 1 beg to express through you to the members of the Post my appreciation of their indorsement and my thanks lor the courtesy manifested in the rorm of their approval. It sometimes happens that official conduct clearly demanded by an Imperative obligation of public duty is made diilieult by counter influences which grow out of sympathy or by a disposition to fol­ low with ease and comfort the appar­ ent course of popular opinion. -Tboseof our citizens not holdingef- flce and thus entirely free from the Bolemn obligation of protecting the interests of the people often fail to re­ alize that their public sentiments are to a large extent debarred in official action from the Indulgence Jn those charitable impulses winch In private life Is not only harmless but commend­ able. While the deprivation should be re­ garded as one of the stern incidents ol a faithful performance of official duty, and while it should be endured with the resignation arising from an unfal­ tering ialth in the ultimate justice of the American people, it is neverthe­ less gratilying to receive such expres-" slons as are contained in the resolu­ tions now before me. Yourg very truly, GROVER CLEVELAND. His Jejr ever discovering this one Post, amid the several thousand which have denounced him, In language run­ ning all the way from politely em­ phatic to sulphurous and blistering, is utense. The Bible tells us about how muob greater is the joy ever the sin­ ner who returns than over the ninety and nine who did not stray, but this is leeble compared to the President's re­ joicing over this lone Post in the little Department of Delaware. Memorial Day. Memorial Day was more generally observed la all parts ot the country than ever .before, and the graves of the known dead soldiers were strewn with the flowers of May. In Ojir own county jthe tribute to the nation's dead was far more noticeable than in years past. Among the prinolpal places where appropriate services and the strewlnf of graves with flawers took place was Woodstock, Marengo, Har­ vard, Nunda, Richmond, McHenry. Al­ gonquin and Rldgedeld. There may have been others, but I have not as yet beard of them, As the different papers throughout the county eon* tained so many excellent accounts of the exercises in these respective local­ ities we do not think it necessary to say further on the subject with the exception of the following, which we ellp from some of the county papers: AT WOODSTOCK. The park was appropriately deco- orated, an arch being hung over each of the four entranc es with a picture of some distin­ guished General of the late war or American citizen suspended there­ from. The services were held in the park and were opened with music by the military band, then came the read­ ing of orders and the exercises laid down in the G. A. R. ritual, viz.: Welcome by the Commander: Music. Choir; following were the responses by the S. V. and J. V. Commanders. Officer of the Day, and Chaplain, viz. : Navy. Army, Peace, and The Nation anditsDeaii; Prayer by Rev. E. B. Boygess. The Orator of the Day, Maj James A. Connelly, of Springfield, IU, then delivered one of the ablest addresses which it haa been our for­ tune to hear. Taking his address as a whole, it will rank among the best pro­ ductions delivered for the Memorial services of 1887. At the conclusion of the services the lines were formed in the following order: Band; Company G, Captain Charles H. Donnelly, Commanding; Woodstock Post, G. A. R., Col. Wm. A very. Commander, and citizens. The procession marched to the oemetery, and each soldier's (rave was decorated with beautiful flowers, after which all returned to the city reeling that they had merely performed a pleasant duty and one due to those brave men who lost their li<r«8 in defending the old flag that we all hold so dear. The music rendered by the different chureb choirs was excellent and the band nev­ er did as well before on any public oc­ casion, and are deserving ef much credit. ^ The exercises were under the aus pices of Woodstock Post and the mem bers of that organization f*#l grate­ ful for the aid rendered by the citizens which made Decoration Day a grand success.--Woodstock Sentinel, AT HARVARD Harvard had a most creditable dem­ onstration in honor of Decoration Day, Sunday evening the Grand Army Post assembled and marched to the Meth­ odist Church, where sittings were re­ served for them, and where a large au­ dience filled every seat. Rev. Joseph Gaston delivered a good address, wherein he spoke ef trials, marches, sieges, battles and victories of the boys in blue during the great civil war. His conclusions and reflections were such as to properly prepare fer the Memorial exercises the next day. Monday opened cool and lowery, threatening rain all day. At 2:15 Vclock, p m , by direction of Capt. R. r. Whlttleton, who was marshal of the day, the line was formed for a march to the cemetery. The procession was fully half a mile long. The ladies of Harvard gathered and prepared for the occasion, a large quantity of beautiful flowers whieh were tenderly placed upon the graves of the departed heroes. The address of Rev. G. C. Clark, era tor of the day. were full of pathos and patriotism. His words wore well chosen and voiced the feelings of all present. All places of business were olosed rem one to four o'clock, and Harvard on that occasion honored herself in thus honoring tho patriotic dead. --Harvard Independent. AT RICHMOND. Memorial Day dawned ooel and clear, and gave Indications of favora­ ble weather for the observances. The shower of the previous afternoon had laid the dust aul made the roads good, and all augured well for a large attend­ ance. Soon after noon the stream of vehicles walch began to oome into town showed that hope had been well founded, and before half past one the streets wero crowded. At that hour, under the direction of P. K. Allen, who acted ss marshal, the procession was formed In the follow­ ing order: Richmond Cornet Band, Richmond Post G. A. R.; Maidens Pressed in white; Citizens. The sol­ diers were fairly loaded down with ifawers.-wbtcn the ladles, who met at Mrs. J. C. Smith's in the morning, had furnished and arranged tn plentiful profusion. At tLe cemetery gate |the Pest was lialcod In two open ranks, facing in­ ward, while the rest of the procession marched through. Then while the band played a beautiful dirge, the Post, under command of Adjc. J, C. Smith, marched from grave to grave and deposited large bouquets upon the last narrow beds of our illustrious dead. At the stand the beautiful Ritual of ^he G. A. R. wa& performed, a touch­ ing prayer offered by Rev. Geo. Wells, a spirited recitation given by Miss Jennie Denison, when Rev. H. W. llarbaugh, the orator of the day, was annonnced, and commenced an elo­ quent address. Mr. Harbaugb's address was an elo­ quent, scholarly and patriotic effort. I'o justly review it would take mere space than we have at command. Thus another Memorial Day has come and gone, and we may all feel that it was fittingly observed in Rich­ mond. Year by year the number of graves of our soldiers grows larger, and the number of the living smaller. But while the Amerlcau people keep up the observance of this sacred day, there is '.no danger that gthe glorious deeds of the dead will be forgotten, or the living fail to be honored for their courage and self sacrifice ia the hour of our country's need.--& F.
