To Morrow Afternoon
We hope that there will4be a general
suspension of business to. morrow, from 2
o'clock until after the ceremonies at the
cemetery have been concluded, io honor
of the day and of those whose memory we
are to honor then. The Produce Exchange
will be closed, as will the public offices at
the City Hall, and we presume that the
suspension of business during the after--noon
will be pretty general.

That was the worst case we have seen
aud we think it would be an act of mercy
and justice for our people in need of dray
age accommodations to reluse to employ
any one with an animal in such a deplo
rable condition. If the owners are too
unmerciful, or too mean and stingy, to
keep their animals in a decent conditen
the course we have indicated, if adopted
by the public generally, would either

Another Lively Time Anticipated
To-morrow morning at 4 o'clock, just
before the dawn of day, blasts from the
huntsman's horn and the music from
twenty-ive yelping hounds will announce
to the quiet sleepers in the neighborhood
of Front and Dock streets that a gay
party are about to start on another lively
chase after poor Reynard. In this in
stance, we are informed, the party will
consist of some fifteen or twenty couples,
ladies and gentlemen well mounted, whe
are to participate in the pleasures of the
chase.
lu Memorials.
This is the season when the brave men
who fell in the Lost Cause are remember
ed more than at any other time by their
surviving comrades and friends, and the
time when the many brilliant deeds and
heroic devotion to their country's cause
of those who now sleep their last sleep
upon the hill-top or on the mountain
side or in the valley beneath, wherever hos
tile shots were exchanged with tte foe, are
recointed among the survivors who stood
shoulder to shoulder with them in that
thrilling epoch of our country's history.
But it remains for gentle woman, ever
foremost io deeds of devotion and love t
the memory ot those who have passed
from among us, with tender hearts and
loving hands to twine the myrtle and the
cypress upon the graves of those they
loved and te scatter roses as a fragrant
offering to the memory of the departed
braves. To this end fair forms and deli
cate hands will be busy from now until
the tolling of the city church bells to
morrow announces the honr for the pro
cession to form.
In this connection, the following elo
quent words spokea by Col. Allen, the
Chief of Ordinance of Jackson's Corps,
delivered by him at the annnal reunion of
the Virginia Division of Army of Northern
Virginia, may not seem inappropriate.
The theme chosen was Jackson's valley
campaign and the following are but the
closing words of the address:
I have thus tried to give yon, fe low
soldiers of the'Army of Northern Vir
ginia, an outline of one of the most bril
iiaut pages of our history. Time has not
permitted me te dwell on the great deeds
which crowded these few months, nor to
character' ze ia fitting terms of panegyric
the mighty actors in them. I have at
tempted nothing beyond a simple and
carefully accurate statement offsets. This
may help to clear away from one cam
paign the dust and mould which already
gather over the memories of our great
straggle. It may do mere. It may, by
touching the electric chord of association,
transport us for the time into the pres
ence of the majestic dead; and of the
mig ity drama, the acting of whioh was
like another and a higher life, and the
contemplation of which should tend to
strengthen, elevate, ennoble. It is wise
in our day it is wise always to recur te
a time when patriotism waa a passion;
when devotion to great principles dwarf
ed all considerations other than those of
truth and right; when butt was Jelt to
be the sublim st word in our language;
when sacrifice outweighed selfishness;
whe t 'human virtue was equal to human
calamity Among the) urn of that
time Jackson holds a splendid plate an
illustrious member of a worthy ban J
aye, a band than which no land in any
age can point to a worthkr!
THURSDAY, MAY
Professor Tan Jasmund.
We learn that this gentleman has been
invited to deliver his lecture on Prine
BUmarck, before the Phil mathean Liter
ary Society, of this city, and that he ha
signified his accp'ance of the invitation.
Professor Van Jastnnnd his had opportu
nitiei mr becoming acquainted wi:b

As will be seen by reference to" ofcr
adver'isinir columns there will be an cn

morrow) night for the benefit ot the
Brooklyn Mission Suuday School. Th
exhibition is recommended as being ver
attractive and as it is for a good purpose
and at moderate prices we hope that it
may be well patronized and the boust
crowded to its utmost capacity.
Magistrate's Court.
Oelia Osbone, colored, for an as
siult npon Cairo Bnrts, white, was up
before J us tic Wagner, but the case was
dismissed at the cost of the prosecution.
She was then arrested en a peace warrant
upon the affidavit of Cairo Burts, and
Justice Wagner put her under $50 bonds
to keep the peace for six months.
Before Justice Hall, Henry Taylor,
colored, was charged with wilful abandon
ment and fined $1 and costs
, Telepnones for the City.
A contract has been eencluded, we
understand, by tbecity authorities with
the Seuthern Agency of the National
Bell Telephone at Richmond, whereby
telephonic communication is to be
established throughout the city, connect
ing with the City Hall and the varieus
engine and truck houses. The lines are
to" encircle the city and it is thought that
they will be carried into many private
houses. The city authorities are to have
ten of the telephones for the use of which
they are to pay the company $750 a
year.
There Is ne doubt of the great conve
nience which will result from the intro
duction here of this apparatus as well
as of the tact that in cases of alarm of
fire much wear and tear to the engines
and h rses will be saved. When an
alarm is sent out it need net be necessary
to turn out the entire department. It
f jr instance, fire is discovered in a small
house cornsr of Ninth and Market streets,
immediately upon its location and re
quirements being made known a call
could be made for but one engine and that
nearest the scene could be sent at once.
Should the fire increase other engines could
be hurried to the spot as soon as they are
needed. 1 ne market neil will souncf
not the fire district, for that will already
be known, but the number of the engine
whose service would be required. Neith
er would there be any hesitation or in
descision in regard te the locality as this
would be made known at once through
the telephone.

'Truth lies in a nut-shell,' and 'brevity

the shell is broken, the truth will be dis
covered that, the Grand Central Hotel,
on Broadway, New York, now kept on

and the European $1.00, and upwards,
