The old desayed bone if cent:eaten, American Slavery, has been cast out, although here and there a iepraved politician takes it up to see If he can't gnaw something off it. , We are floating off farther from the possibility of sectional strife. No possibility ocivil war. But about foreign invasion I am not so certain. When I spoke against war I said moth- lug against self defense. An inventor told me that he had invented a style of weapon which could be used its self de- tense, but not in aggressive warfare. I said, "When ' you get the nations to adopt that weapon, you have introduced the millennium." I have no right to go any neighbor's premises •and aesault him, but if some ruffian breaks into my house for the assassination of my family, end I can borrow a gun and load it in time and aim it straight enough I will shoot him, There is no room on this continent for any other nation -except canadta. and a better neighbor no one ever had. If you don't .think so, go to Montreal - and ' Toronto and see how well they will treat you. Other than that there is abso- lately no room for any other nation. I have been across the continent again and again, and know that we have not a half inch of ground for the gout* foot of foreign despotism to stand on. But 1 am not so sure that some of the arrogant nations of Europe may not some day challenge us. I do nut know that those forts around New York bay are to sleep all through the next century. I do not know that Barnegat'lighthouse will not yet look off upon a hostile navy, I do not know but that a balf it dozen nations, . envious of our prosperity, may want to give us a wrestle. During our civil war there were two' or three nations that amid hardly keep their hands off us. It is very easy to pick national quarrels, end if our nation escapes much longer it will be the exception. . If foreign foe should come, we want men like those of 1.81a stud like those of 11862 to meet them. We want them all up and down the coast, Pulaski and Fort Sumter in the same chorus of thun- der as Fort Lafayette and Fort Hamilton. Men who will not only know how to fight, but how to die. When such a time comes, if it ever does come, the genera- tion on the stage of action will say: "My country will care for my family as they did in the soldiers' asylum for the or platens its the civil war, amid my catintry will honor my dust as it honored those who preceded me in patriotic sacrifice, and once a year at any rare, on beware. tion day, I shall be resurrected into the remembrance of those for whom I died. I Here I go for God and my country! Hama"obliged If foreign foe should come, the old sectional animosities would • have no, power. Here go our regiments into the battlefield: Fifteenth New York volun- teens, Tenth Alabama cavalry, Four- teenth Pennsylvania riflemen, Tenth Massachusetts artillery, Seventh South Carolina sharpshooters. I do not know but it may require the attack of some foreign foe to make us forget our absurd. sectional wrangling. I have no faith in the cry, "No north, no south, no east, no west," .Let all four sections keep their peculiarities and their preferences, emeh doing its own week and not interfering with each other, each of the four carry ing its part in the great harmony -the bass, the alto, the tenor, the soprano- in the grand. march of union. Once more, this groat national core- moue, means the beautification of the tombs, whether of those who fell in bat- tie or accident, or who have expired in their beds or in our arms or on our laps, I suppose you have noticed that many of the families take this season as the time for the adornment of their family plots. This national observaino has secured the arboriculture and floriculture of the cam- eteries, the straightening up of many a slab planted 30 or 40 years age, and has swung the scythe through the lona grass and as brought the stonecutter to call out the half obliterated. epitaph. This day is the benediction of the resting place of father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister. It is all that we can do for them now. Make their resting plias attractive, not absurd with costly outlay, but in quiet remelnbrance. You know how. If you can afford only one flower, that will do. It shows what you would do if you could. One blossom from you may mean more than the Duke of Wellington's catafalque. Oh, we cannot afford to for- get them. They were so lovely to us. We miss them so much. We will never get over it. Blessed. Lord Jesus, comfort our broken hearts. From every bank of flowers breathes promise of resurrection. In olden times the Hebrews, returning from their burial place, used. to pluck the grass from the field three or four times, then throve it over their heads, suggestive of the resurrection. We pick not the grass, but the flowers, and in- stead of throwing them over our heads we place than before our eyes, right down over the silent heart that once beat with wannest love toward us or over the still feet that ran to service, or over the lips from which we took the kiss at the anguish of the last parting, But stop! We are not infidels. Our bodies will soon join the bodies of our departed in the tomb, •and out spirits shall join their spirits in the land of the rising sun. ,We cannot long be separated. Instead of crying with Jacob for Joseph, "I will go down into the grave unto my son, Mourning," let us cry with David, "I shall go to him." On one of the gates of Greenwood is the quaint inscription, "A night's iedg. ing on the way to the city of the New Jerusalem." , Comfort one another with these words. May the hand of Him who shall wipe away all tears from all eyes veip'e your cheek with its softest tender- nese. The Christ of Mark and Martha and Lazarus will infold you in His arms. The white robed angels who sat at the tomb of Jesus will yet roll the stone from the door of your dead. in radiant resurrection. The Lord himself shall de-. vend from heavea with a shout and the voice of the archangel. So ,,,..1 the Da-- March in Saul ehall become the .Halle- lujah Chorus. t FRON THE CAPITAL, i, .

Cleave it with all the sabers that ever glittered in battle and wring its afoul with all the pangs which it ever caused. Let it 'feel all the confia- grations of the. homesteads it has ever destroyed. Deeper down let it fall and in , fiercer flame let it burn till it has 0th -ton ered into its heart all the suffering of eternity as well as time. In the name of the millions of graves of its victims I denounce it. The nations needmore spirit of treaty and less of the spirit Of war, `War is more ghastly now than once, not only because of the greater destruo- titaness of its weaponry, but because now it takes do etn the best men, whereas once it chiefly took down the worst. Bruce, in 1717, in his Institutions of Military Law, said of the European armies of his day, "If all the infamous persons and such as bate committed capital crimes, heretics, atheists and oll dastardly feminine men, were weeded out of the army, it would soon be Da- duced to a Pretty moderate number." Flogging and mean pay made them still more ignoble, Officers were appointed to see that each soldier drank his ra- tion of a pint of spirits a day. There' were noble men in battle, but the moral character Of the army then was 95 per 'sent lower than the moral character oi an army to -day, By so much is war now the more detestable because it destroys the Molted men of the nations. Again by this national ceremony we mean to honor courage. Many of these departed soldiers were volunteers, not conseripts, and, many of those who were cleated might have provided a substitute or got off on. furlough or have deserted, The fact that they lie in their graves is proof of their bravery. Brave at the front, bravo at the cannon's mouth,brave on lonely picket duty, brave in cavalry charge, brave before the surgeon, brave in the dying message to the home circle. We yesterday put a garland on the brow of courage, The world wants more of it, The Church of God is in woeful need of men who can salad under fire, The lion of worldly derision roars and the sheep tremble. In great reformatory movements at the first shot how many fall back? The great obstacle to the Church's advancement is the inanity, the vacuity, the soft prettiness, the nearby pambyism of professed Christians. Great on a parade, cowards in battle. Afraid of getting their plumes ruffled they tarry a parasol over their helmet, They gc into battle not with warrior's gauntlet but with kid gloves , not clutching the sword hilt too tight lest the glove split at the back. In all our reformatory and Christian work the great want is more baidtbene, more mettle, more daring, more prowess. We would in all our churches like tc trade off a hundred do nothings for one do everything. "Quit yourselves like men , be strong." Thy saints in all thiglorious war • s Shall conquer, though they die, • They see the triumph from afar And seize it with their eye. . Again we mean by this national ob. servenee to honor self-sacrifice for others.While To all these departed men home and kindred were as dear as our borne and kindred are to us. Do you know how they felt? Just as you and I would feel starting out to -morrow morning -with nine chances out of ten against our re- turning alive, for the intelligent soldier sees not only battle ahead, but malarial sickness and exhaustion. Had these men chosen, they could have spent last night in their homes and to -day have been seated where you are. They chose the camp, not because they liked it better than their own house, and followed. the drum and fife, not because they were bet- ter music than the voices of the domestic cleat°. South mountain and alurfrees- • boro and. the swamps of Chicka,hoaniny were not play -grounds. These heroes risked and lost all for others. There is no higher sublimity Than that. To keep three-quarters for ourselves and give one-quarter to others is honorable. To divide even with others is generous. To keep nothing • for our- selves and give all for others is magna- nimitY Christine°. Put a girdle around your body and then measurn the girdle and see if you are 50 or 60 inches round, And is that the circle of your smypa- thies-the size of yourself? Or, to meas- tire you around the heart, would it take a girdle large enough to encircle the land and encircle the world! You want to know what we dry theologians mean when we talk of vicarious suffering. Look at the soldiers' graves and find out. Vicarious! pangs for others, wounds for others, homesickness for other% blood for others, sepulcher for others. Those who visited the national cane- teries at Arlington Heights and at Rich-- mond and Gettysburg saw one inscri Pe tion on soldiers' tombs oftener repeated than any other -"Unknown." When, about 21 years ago, I was called to de- liver the oration .at Arlington Heights, Washington, I was not so meeh tin- pressed with the minute guns that shook the earth or with the attendance of pres- ident and Cabinet and foreign Ministers and generals of the army and commo- dorei of the nevi as with the pathetic and overwhelming suggestiveness of that epitaph on so ninny graves at my feet. Unknown! Unknown! It seems to me that the time must come when the Gtov- eminent of the United ptates shall take off that epitaph. They are no more un- known. We have found than out at last. They are the beloved sons of the republie. • Would it not be well to take the statue of the heathen geekless off the top of the capitol (for I have no faith in the morals of a heathen goddess) and put one great statue in all of our national cemeteries-, a statue of Liberty in the form of a Christian woman, with her hand on an Open .Bible and her foot on the Rook of Ages, with the other hand pointing down to the graves of the unknown, saying, "These are my sons, who aiod that 1 might nye."

' The Madrid newspapers are severely criticsing Admiral Beranger, Minister of Marine, in consequence of 'the arrival of the Spanish cruiser gilepPinas at Havana in a disabled condition, which Is aseribed to defects in her. construction. The papers are unanimous in demanding a parliamentary enquiry into the matter, the scope of which shall cover the entire system of the Naval Department. Havana, June 5. -The insurgents have blown up with dynamite a passenger train at Union de Reyes. It is reported that the troops have put to rout the vanguard of &nforce which was advancing from Matanzas Province. New 'York, June 5.-A special to the Herald from Havana says: "La Luella states that if Spain secures the expected loan of $300,000,000 in. Paris and Lou- don, 10,000 more reinforcements will be embarked at once for Cuba, and the fleet will also be strengthened, as a warning to the Yankee Government to keep its hands off Cuba." According to La Luella the story from Madrid to the effect that President Cleveland is disposed to influence the Cubans to accept eaten- only on condition that Spain shall grant concessions which will Increase Ameri- can commerce with the island, must be taken with a grain of salt. Spain, La Luella adds, would resent any such proposition. The fact has leaked out that a large party of Cubans and a consignment of arms and ammunition for the Cuban army left this city on May 9th last, unnkown to the Goternntent officials. The men and war material left on the steamship Flamborough, and were transferred tie another vessel somewhere between here and British Honduras, 'Washington, D. C., June 5. -Gonzales Quesada, one of the official Cuban repro- sentatives in the United States, has re. caved telegraphic communication of the arrival in Cuba of the Three Friends and the Latuyada, under command of Col.

Y., June 5. -Sohn A. Finnigan, the special correspondent of the Watertown Standard in the Island of Cuba, has been expelled by Captain- General Weyler as being persona non .mm0, to the Spanish authorities. Mr. Finnigan has been in Cuba since April, and has furnished the Standard with free quoit letters descriptive of Spanish atrocities attributed to' the "Butcher." He was twice arrested and. sent back to Havana. Last week he left the city con- teary te the orders of the authorities. On his return last Friday Mn. Finnigan was warned that he must leave by the Saratoga, which sailed. on Sunday. He was placed under a strong guard, but managed to get a message off through a friend. London, June 5. -The Morning Post publishes a despatch from Madrid saying that Senor de Lome, the Spanish Min- ister, has protested to the American Government against the parading of the Cuban flag in a procession in New York on May 31st.

This faning off is wholly in excise, which was $120,209 less than May last year, when receipts were abnormally high. Customs show an increase of $23,700, post -office $ I 35,000 and miscellaneous $11,961. Public works including railways, show a decrease of $29,210. The receipts for the eleven months amounted to $32,952,071, an in- crease of $2,495,231; and the 'expenditure to $28,590,864, a decrease of $745,968. The surplus of ordinary receipts over or- dinary expenditure is now $4,355,200, as compared with $1,204,008 at the same period last year. The expenditure on oapi. tel account during the month was $672,- 752, an increase of $588,155, of which $486,667 was on account of militia, part of the vote for arming the foree,and $52,- 927 for raaway subsidies. The statement of public debt shows the amount of net debt outstanding at the close of the month to have been $250,076,389, an in- crease of $1,142,602 during the month, which is accounted for by the increase in expenditure on capital account and also in expenditure on account Of console- dated fund.

CAPE COLONY AFFAIRS, The Beform Leaders Released on Parole- Mr. Cecil Rhodes Makes an Important Speech. .. London, June 5., -The Pall Mall Ga- zetta late this afternoon, says it learns that a despatch has • been received here from Pretoria saying that • the Johannt.s- burg reform leaders have been released on parole. The despatch adds that. Mr. John Hays Hammond, the American en- gineer, sails for Southampton on board the steamship Athenian, on his way to the United States. Finally, the dispatch states that it is rumored at Pretoria that the reformers will each be fined 1110,000. Buluwayo, ;Tune 5. -At a banquet given here Mr. Cecil Rhodes made an important speech, in ' which he briefly'Leas sketchea the history of Rhodesia. He said the railway from the south was ad- vancing rapidly, and it might reach Pal- apye within a year. He expressed waft- deuce in the development of the mines, tend eulogized General Carrington, in command of the Imperial forces in South Africa, as the man he would himself have selected to quell the rebellion He deplored the great loss' of life but he said ' the Matabeles had displayed. unusual ob- stinacy. When they had been subjugated General Carrington and General Martin would select sites for permanent forts. If he were allowed to remain to work with them he looked to the future for the charter to lapse, and the colony to be- come self-governing. This would be pos- sible without detriment to the sharehold- ers. Mr. Rhodes ridiculed the idea of the amalgamation of the Transvaal, or sits annexation to Cape Colony. Of the pos- sessions not bounded by the Zambesi five years hence, probably the most valuable portion of the country would be recog- nized as lying north of the Zambesi. It rested with the people, he said, to co-op- crate with him to carry out his schemes. The present population, he argued, was too small for self-government, but repro. saltation in the Legislative Council would be an intermediate stage to the ultimate object. He advised the people always to look to independence M. the future, and. to keep in their hearts the idea of free.' trade and quick comment cation with the Oape. He also favored a system of taut defence, which, summed up, meant federation. His policy had. always been ' the same, selagovenanent in the north, and while he had the say in the country that policy would never change. He would be ib very small human being, he asserted, if he altered the ideas of a lifetime.

The only member of the family now alive is Mr. F. J. Glack- naeyer, Sergeant -at -Arms in the Ontario Legislature. Mr. Glackineyer, who was born in Montreal, came to London in 1855. He built the London Gas Works and also erected similar works in Ham- ilton, Dundas and St. Catharines. The Middlesex County Council con- ducted its business yesterday. A by-law was passed to raise $61,44 1.77 for de- !mature interest and current expenditure. The report of the Petitioning Committee contained a resolution by Mr. G. B. Campbell to notify the Ontario Govern- ment that a serious error had been cora- naitted in passing the act last session to reduce the Member of representatives on the County Council. It contended that the cost would not be materially do- creased, awl that many portions of the command!, would not receive fair repro- sentation. • Tbe Council adopted the fol- lowing resolution: "That the several al- /egations contained in the resolution of Mr. G. B. Campbell are as yet not known to be true. Therefore, this Council, as loyal subjects of the Crown, deem it im- prudent to pronounce against the aot passed by the Ontario Government before it has received a fair trial." According to the equalization aou, ' the assessed value of real and personal property in the county is $25,931,961 the equalized assessment being $84,146,024. • A Good Excuse for tha 111, kburn te - was, . 1se ' In' of the most successful and moonshiners of southwestern Still, 'Lies was by no means elided man.
