2 BRIDGING THE STREAM. CONFEDERATE MEMORIAL DAY AT STAUNTON. An Ex-Federal General Delivers the Address of the Day -Parade of Troops and Civic Organizations Gov. Lee and Other Distinguished Virginians Attend. Staunton*, Va., .Tune o.—The largest crowd ever seen in Staunton assembled to day to witness the celebration of the Con federate Memorial Association. The chief attraction was the presence of Gen. W. W. Averill. orator of the occasion. The column was a mile long, consisting of military and civil organizations, etc. In an elegant car riage, drawn by four black horses, rode Gov. Lee and Gen. Averill, and as they passed along they were frequently cheered. After the parade the speaking took place in the opera house, whifch was crowded to suf focation. pleasant recollection. In introducing Gen. Averill, Gov. Lee re ferred to their long acquaintance, beginning when both were boys at West Point, and to their subsequent associations in the old army. Their commands had met fact* to face in hattle during the war that followed, and he was prepared to testify that no braver men contends on either side than the troop commanded by that gallant officer, whose " warfare was upon men and not upon helpless women and children. In closing, the Governor re ferred to the obliteration of the sectional lines and the reunion of the people, as shown by the presence of a Federal general joining with the Southern veterans in hon oring the Confederate dead. GEN. AVERILL’S ADDRESS. Gen. Averill was greeted with ringing cheers as he stepped forward, and from time to time during his speech he was en thusiastically cheered. The following ex tracts give the drift of his speech: Fellow Counts then —I think you for the honor that your invitation brought to me, and for the great pleasure of meeting you on this occasion of the yearly reawakening of the chenshed memories of your detiarted soldiers. Your courteous summons mode rae happy by informing me that I was yet alive, for to be forgotten is to be dead, and I gladly come to assist in a memorial service which shall keep alive in memory the days and deeds of those brave men of yours who are not dead but living immortally-just beyond the bourne of earthly sense. LONG RANGE SOLDIER. Undoubtedly there are many people in this countrv who were acquainted with the war at long range, and are not yet aware that “ is over. And some double-tongued statesmen inav feel surprised that one who had invaded and pervaded your country with an active armed force, should be asked to receive your hospitality on an occasion like this, when you are perpetnatmgtbe sad but heroic memories he had helped to create. When last I was here, twenty-three years ago, these hills had been resounding with the dread ful thunder of artillery and the deadly rattle of musketry, and the dust of these trampled fields had been reddened with the blood of contending armies. Now the Shenandoah valley brims to the mountain tops with the quiet atmosphere and sunny glow of peace, and the fields, as far as the eve can reach, are covered with a billowing mantle of prosperity. ****** * * Since your invitation to me was announced I have received letters from many of my officer* and men in different parts of the country, ex pressing their gratification at your action. *•••• >• THE LEVER THAT MOVES THE WORLD. Among those who greet me hgre to-day I ob serve the beaming races of a generation who roust have been too young to realize the tre mendous struggle or life and death to which this occasion mainly relates, and whose notions about its cause and conduct must be dim, and perhaps they sometimes wonder what it was ail about. But they ne>*d not regret their lack of undei-standing, for very few oi our leading men in government, litera ture, legislation or politics, at that time, or even utis day, have reached down to the broad and truthful premises which should under lie any philosophical and candid consideration of the origin and the results of the war. Not remembering that that organized aggregate of humanity called society the parent government, derives its character from the character of the labor that supports it-that the ieople of the North and South were sustained by entirely different forms of labor—that the different social eondßlorfs which resulted, were originally united by ties of helplessness and mutual dependence in resisting the oppressive exactions of the mother country and achieved the independence of the Republic and afterwards tried to perfect and perpetuate the Union of States by* adopting the constitution— that great men of both social conditions strove earnestly and long to maintain the Union in spite of the natural and irresitib'.e diversities which sprang from social, political and commercial antagonisms hetween these different social conditions, the accumulating aggravations of which no govern ment devised by man could repress, until it fell to the lot of the eighth generation of Ameri cans. no longer able to control or harmonize them, to resort to the arbitrament of arms. Then followed a heroic period which gave birth to great names, glorious achievements and heroic deeds. One of these antagonistic social forms bad to be crushed. The strength of anything is measured by the force required to break It. The strength of Southern society was measured by a million men and $9,000,000,000. Incidentally and neces sarily the character of human labor became liomogeneous throughout the land. Political parties had do more to do with the cause of the war than the church militant has to do with the earthquakes. The costly lesson we learned was that labor is the lever that moves the world of human life, and in a republic it must tie 'free. Human labor is God like in This, that it mate rializes thought and is creative in Its functions. It is unrequited whenever any portion of its wages are expanded on ficticious values. GREATNESS IN ADVERSITY. The nation can remember with honorable pride that Southern men were great in war; it remembers that when their cause was hopeless ly lost they were greater in accepting with the dignity of brave men the conditions and conse quences of defeat; but posterity will never for get that they showed themselves greatest in meeting promptly and manfully the exigencies of free labor. For over S,otio years mankind has been instructed and civilization benefited by a picture of Cincinnatus called from his plow to assume the dignities and wield the power of the Roman Htate. A far greater picture In its effects and benefits was furnished mankind .when your Governor. Gen. Fltchugh I as-, whom I mention as representing the liest and highest type of Southern manhood, after the war took off bis coat and put his liands to the plow for the first time. God who gave us our path and motion in the Universe and said, "B> the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread. - ' w ill smile on a people who recognize and respect the dignity of labor. gah’s DREADFUL NECESSITY. Amid the younger generation before me I recognize the faces of those who must have been my comrades of the war. We certainly are comrades in several relations. In our cam paigns and battles the same sky covered us. the lame storm drenehed us, we wep' bespattered oy the same mud and begrimed by the same itist and our marches and fatigues were cotem poraneoiis and coequal. We assaulted each Dther until we became well acquainted. With regard to the personal feelings existing between those who were acquainted with each other or were friends when the war divided them, 1 may mention a conver sation 1 once had wdth President Lincoln, which may be of Interest. It was shortly after the first great cavalry battle of the war, at Kelly’s Ford, on the Rappahannock, early in IHtST The President came down to visit the army of the Potomac opposite ITvdericks bnrg. and to rcvl-w it. He old me the honor to send for me to visit him in the evening. We had an interview of an hour in his tent. He asked me many questions about the army, und especially Ue cavalry service and its expense. He expressed great interest in the fight we hiul hail at Kelly's Ford, and inquired jiartlcidurly about the Confederate commanders. I told him how- the fight came to pan*, anil showed him a Dote which I had received from Gen. Fitzhugh L i with reference to his wounded. He put on his spix-tacles and read it carefully. Then he Ssked; “Wep* you and Gen. Is*e frtenda?” “2*rtainly,” said I, “always had linen.” 'What would happen,” he asked, “should you meet on the battle-field*” b ?* h of “* wouM •* badly' hurt or •died. Isold, ‘obliged to be, Mr. President" He leaned that picturesque and mournful face m nis on his hand, and. after n pause, said with wi. S& Giy ttorl, what a dreadful thing Is js!L ,h J where personal friends must slay *®?h other and die as friends!'' * SS h'njthf l “undoubtedly Los thought he ” n£ h dutJ ' * wl 1 t£n '’ w 1 h" 1 * was doing ¥, said Mr. Lincoln. “1 understand your feelings, but there are many who would think that you ought to hate each other. ” Finally' he said "Gen. Aver li, I wish you would give me this letter of Lee’s" “Surely, take it, Mr. President" 1 replied, and I have heen told by one of his biographers t hat he carried the note in his pocket for a long time and would frequently show it. This statement of personal relations and feel ings seemed to make a revelation to Mr Un coin, but he had a heart and an understanding large enough to consider every relation and every emotion of all the people in this country, which he so longed should be a nation. ALL WERE AMERICANS. The memories of the four years* war which cluster above the graves of the •Blue " and the 'Gray." ap'identical and equally dear to the surviving comrades of each. There is one grand memory which we may ever enjoy, the fortitude and devotion of the American soldiers. North and South, and their manhood in battle will not fail to awaken the admiration of mankind so long as any people ap- called Americans. The grandest efficient result of the war was to forti fy our nation with a public opinion which has since environed the world. Where is the nation that does not recognize its power, or that can afford to diurcgapi it? The migrating thousands who are pouring into our country from all na t ions and races, attest the universal and con tinued effect and grandeur of that opinion. It needs no thundering navy nor consuming army to make it manifest. THE UNDYING MOTHER OF CIVILIZATION. Religion is the first necessity experienced and the last comfort p-linquished in every human life. In this mother's arms we are suspended between two infinites, as in a hammock, otic end of which is held by memory, the other by hope. The his tory of this nation, the only one which can now be studied from its beginning, is already anew and original page in the story of the world. Not yet a hundred years old, and on anew conti nent. a nation that employs 2.000.000 men in a social war, and succeeds in uniting itself and knitting its people together is certainly original Another wonderful thing is that the very sol diet* of loth armies who did the fighting enjoy the readiest mutual confidence and broth-rlv esteem, and mayhap, in spite ef indifferent and ignorant politicians, they and their children will become the strongest social cement of our per manent union. We dashed together like waves on rocks, W' fought 'till th<- ground was red; We met in the shuddering liattle shocks. Where none but the freed soul fled. Now side by side in the nation's life, And shoulder to shoulder are we: And we know by the grip of our hands in strife, What the strength of our love may be. Brief addresses were also made by Gen. I. D. Imboden. Him. A. J. McCall, of New York, and Hon. Carlton McCarthy, of Rich mond. Both Gens. Gordon, of Georgia, and Jackson, of Tennessee, were expected, but neither came. The celebration was a grand success, and was witnessed by 10,000 people. OUR RED CITIZENS. A Strong Memorial for the President On the Land Question. St. Louis, June 9. —A special from Eu faula, I. TANARUS., says: The Indian council re sumed its sessions Wednesday morning with delegates from eighteen tribes present, who expressed their satisfaction at the re port of the committee appointed Monday to draft a memorial to the President on the land question. The preamble enumerates the tribes that are to sign the memorial, to-wit, the Cherokees, Creeks, Choctaws. Chicasaws, Seminoles, Sac and Fox, Osage and others. With many misgivings they assume that the United States government intend to the Indians the benefit of civilization, without de priving them of rights. Having lived under this policy they claim to be fair judges of its utility, They do not wish to antagonize any policy of the government, but to contribute to its efficiency; but they make an earnest appeal in behalf of the civilized and the wild tribes of the Territory, against the act providing for all ownership of the lands in severalty, to the Indians. It will be a detriment to their in terests, as it will in the near future eugulf all of the Indians and the tribes of the Ter ritory in one catastrophe, to the enrichment of the land monopolies, against whom even those with the civilized machinery of justice seem powerless to secure their rights. They deprecate any meas ures which will place the Indians in so unequal a contest. The Indians need political identity, in allegiance, called elsewhere patriotism, in order to make any true progress in the affairs of life. * GIVES HIM HIS OWN PROPERTY. The law to which objection is urged en ables the Indian to become a member of some other body politic by selecting and taking to himself any quantity of land which is at present the common property of all. The land, in the severalty law, appor tioned to each individual is only a part of that which is already his property, and leaves the balance for sale to others who will be composed of the class having no sympathy for the Indians, who will rush into the new country in their mad race for gain and crowd out every hope and chance of Indian civilization. THEY HAVE HAD EXPERIENCE. They rail attention to the sad experience of an individual nature with the United States in 1880 and 1833. The tribes ask that the President stay tho operations of the law until they shall lje in a condition to tie liene iited by it. They further requost that the act be not enforced until they have an op jiortunity of testing the validity of their rights before the judiciary of the United States. The memorial, after being inter preted, was unanimously adopted. ON THE TURF. The Gold Cup at Ascot Heath—Events at Jerome Park. London.

A plump, pleasant-faced woman, with a richness of dialect that proclaimed her birth upon the green shores of Ireland, occupies the position of messenger in the office of loans and currency of the Treasury Depart ment. Messengers' positions are generally held by melt, most frequently by wounded soldiers; but this is an exceptional case. Her name is Margaret Coleman. She was the housekeeper of Secretary Seward and was.painfully injured while 'trying to im pede the flight of Payne, the would-be a-srasdn, after his attempt upon Seward's life. ’Yes. and that was a terrible night,” she said, recounting her experience to a re porter. “It was a terrible night. The way t hat Payne cut and slashed at him! And he was a good man, too! I lived with Mr. Seward a long time, and heard how he talked and knew him. He had no bitter ness in hint, and he felt amiable toward the Southern people. White he wanted to free the negroes, he never thought as much of them as Sumner did I lived with Sum ner afterward, and I used to hear him talk, too. He was another good tnan. Mr. Seward never went quite so far. Many and many’s the time I heard him say to himself: ‘Yes, the negroes should be freed! But they should not be put on an equality with the whites,’ he would add. I have often heard him say those words. He was a nice man in hts household and liberal with everyone. He always gave dinner parties once a week, at least, and held receptions on Saturdays. Democrats and Republicans alike were at his table. He was too great a man to go to extremes and to cherish bitterness. At tbe Saturday receptions hundreds of p<sij% would be present, and lie always had refreshments served. He used to entertain the common soldiers and sailors. THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION. “That night,” she continued, returning to the night of Seward’s attempted assassina tion, “he was very sick. You know about two weeks before his horses had run away and, throwing hint from his carriage, broke his jaw. His jaw was bandaged up and supported in a wire frame, and it was terribly swollen. There was great march ing and celebration that night on account of the victory, and everybody was off to see it. Miss Fannie was in the room with her father, and there was a man nurse from one of the hospitals there. They had told me that Mr. Seward was a little easier, and I hail just gone into my room to go to bed, when I heard Miss Fannie scream. It was then about 10. I ran into the hall and there was Mr. Fred Seward holding himself up by the door sill, with his face and head all cov ered with blood so weak that he could not stand alone. And in Mr. Seward's room was Miss Fannie screaming, and Payne there with the bloody knife in his hand. It was an awful sight that no theatre play ever came near to. Payne was a powerful man. He looked as big as two men. and he was very handsome. He wore a gray suit, with high riding boots up above his knees, and a soft white hat with a broad brim. He was powerful and as active as a cat. He dropped his hat and pistol in the room. I stood in his way as he went out, and he simply brushed tne aside and rushed out of the" house. He did not hit me, and I don’t think he intended to hurt me, but I fell against a door and dislocated my shoulder. He did not offer to touch Mrs. "Seward or Miss Fannie, and I don’t think he would have hurt me, only in his hurry- as he rushed out. He did not want to harm the women folks, but he tried to kill the men. HOW PAYNE ENTERED THE HOUSE. “When he first came to the door,” she continued, “and asked to see Secretary Se ward, he said he had a message from the doctor. The butler, who went to the door, you know, was nothing more than a boy, and he did not know what to do. Payne just walked right by him and up the stairs. His heavy boots made a great noise, and Mr. Fred Steward (he was his father’s Secre tary, you know, and was in an adjoining room) came out in the passage to see what was the matter. When he would not let Payne into the room, Payne reached down into his boot leg and drew out a revolver and snapped it right at his hreast three times, but it did not go off. Then Payne took the butt of his pistol and beat him over the head with it until his head and face was a mass of blood. He did not throw him down stairs, as many folks think; he just left him where he was, too weak to do any thing. Then he rushed at the bed WITH A LONQ KNIFE. “Mr. Seward had the presence of mind to pull the covers over his head and roll over toward the wall, and the assassin cut and slashed at him awfully. He cut him i*t sev eral places, and cut the bed clothes all to pieces, but did not succeed in striking the throat on account of the wires that had been put about the jaw. Seward, all covered with blood, succeeded in throwing hitusolf between the bed and the wall, and at first I thought Payne had thrown him out of the window. Blit after the assassin was gone I got the Secretary up on the bed. and we tried to do something for him. The man nurse was all cut and bleeding. Mr. Fred was nearly- dead, and there was nobody to do anything. Oh! it was an awful time. It was all so terrible; it was like att awful dream. It all did not take more than five minutes, and the assassin had gone OFF ON Ills HORSE. “The soldiers and people got around the house, but there was no doctor. The doctors were all at President Lincoln's bedside, but we did not know that. We did not know that Mr. Lincoln had been shot. For three quarters of an hour I think we waited for a doctor, and all the time I had to liathe the Secretary’s wounds with iced rags to keep him from bleeding to death. “But he lived to see Payne hanged. Hived with him after that, and then I kept house for Mr. Sumner. Then they- put me in the Department here, where I guess I can stay to raru a support as long as I live.” YACHT RACES. Gallant and Easy Victory for the Peer less Atlantic. New York, June 9.— This is the day set for the annual regatta of the New York Yacht Club. It Ls almost a dead calm at Owl’s Head, where the start is to be made. At Sandy Hook the wind blows only five miles per hour, from the west-northwest. The sky is clear, but it, is hazy off shore, with a smooth sea. The prospects for a good race to-day are diminishing, as the wind has been steadily going down all the morning, At 7 o’clock this morning the wind was blowing fourteen miles an hour, from the west. In the regatta to-day the Atlantic took the lead early in the race, and maintained it to the , end. The Shamrock, Priscilla, Oalati'a, .Sachem, Titania, and the others were handicapped at the start. The firpt ran into a brisk squall on the west .bank of the lower bay, and all except the schooners and the Galatea and the Gracie lowered their topsails, and hauled down their jib topsails. The Atlantic stood well in the squall ns the Titania also. The Shamrock did not show up so well, but afterward did good work. A Double Divorce. New York. Juno Charles D. Keep, editor of the Wall Street AVuv* died this morning at Long Branch. His wife only yesterday obtained a divorce from him in Philadelphia. The following is said to lie a sure test for ascertaining whether wall paper contains arsenic: Take a piece of paper and pour upon it strong aqua ammonia over a sau cer. If there beany arsenic. present tnis will dissolve it. Collect the liquid in a vial or tube and drop in a crystal of nitrate of silver. If there lie arsenic present little yellow crystals will make their appearance about the nitrate Of silver. Arsenical green, when washed with aqua ammonia, either changes blue or fades. BURIED TREASURE. Looking For a Fortune Near the Earth’s Surface. FVom the Houston Post. Some years ago a rumor got afloat that there were large sums of money buried in the old Schrimp field, just beyond the Gal veston draw bridge in the Second ward, and despite the vigilance of the owners of the place the rays of the morning sun would daily beat their way through the forest of trec-s into large excavations that had been made by credulous people in searching for the treasure. If anvone has ever been the richer for his midnight exertions he lias kept it profoundly secret, although stories of an incredible nature have been circulated by negroes and others living in the neighbor hood. The origin of the wild stories regard ing the buried wealth, briefly stated, is about as follows: Years ago, when Houston was in its infancy and the scene of the nar rative was considered “away out in the country,” there lived a family"whose name is indeiiblv attached to the place, by fru gality and" united exertion THEY BECAME WEALTHY. Their increase of fortune, however, did not affect their style of living or their ex penditures of money, and they soon obtained a reputation for penuriousness. In course of time the head of the family died and was • buried in what Is termed the field, although it more resembles a forest, and in time his helpmate occupied a place beside him. Their closeness in money matters, together with the fact that the old lady was so frequently soen aimlessly-—suspiciously it was consid ered —wandering around the old tomb of her husband and in the shadows of the trees, soon excited the suspicions of the idle in the neighborhood, and when she died, without leaving any great amount of money, stories of all sorts flew in the wildest mariner. The ground was torn up in all directions at the' dead hours of night, when the heirs of the place were least expecting it. Whether the surviving members of the family knew or believe anything of the burying of money • is not known, but it is thought that they did little if anything in THE DIGGING LINE, • but confined their attention to holding what they had, an occupation in which they- were not very- successful, as a lawsuit resulted in most of the property going into the liands of other parties. For a season nothing would be heard concerning the money supposed to be l.ving with its owners, and the old field would remain untouched. Then, some per son going through the place, would discover fresh traces of a search and remarkable yarns would again follow. This thing was kept up tor several years, and ended, it was thought and hoped, long ago. But again the old field is the source of topics and superstition. A few weeks ago a party of gentlemen strolling through the old deserted field dis covered that several bricks had been re moved from the vault in which the old couple lay for so long a time. A few days ago in again passing through they dis covered a large hole in the plat* of the small one, and in again passing the place last Sunday they saw that the whole struct ure had been knocked in. A reporter vis ited the scene yesterday and found it to be true. In addition to the demolition of the tomb and the absence of its contents a large, deep hole, evidently but recently dug, was seen a short distance from the vault and INNUMERABLE TRACKS indicated the work of the believer in the old stories. A negro who was found a short distance beyond the field, and who manfully refused to go within its limits when re quested so to do, stated that he was positive there was money “hid in dah somewhar, but I isn’t gwine in dah to look foh it.” When asked why, he said because there’s “sperits movin’ roun’ dah all de time," and that he and everybody in his household had at vari ous times “seen ’em.” When told of the hole dug near the grave he lifted up his eyes from the cork that he had been watching as it lazily floated on the water, and said: “Dey is?” Twisting around in his place and holding up his finger, he continued: “I seed two men nar.gin’ Votin’ hyar, lemme see, hit wus Saturday night. One of’em had a sack an’ a spade, an’ de yother had some’in’ in his han’ wot looked like one o’ dese hyar things ■what a surveyorlooeks through.” Whether the negro's story is correct or not, or what ever the cause or result of the depredation, the fact stands forth that the bodies that so long rested in the old vault are gone and the law is thereby violated. To forever settle the question whether or not there is any treasure on the place it might be well for all parties interested to make one final and thorough search and let the old place rest. A BAREFOOTED HERO. A Little Boy Captures a Wild Team and Saves a Child’s Life. From the Sacramento (Cal.) Bee. At about 6 o’clock yesterday evening a thrilling scene was witnessed on Twentieth street, between I and J. The people residing ia that neighborhood were horrified to see a team of horses come dashiug along the street, drawing a carriage in which was seated a beautiful little girl, not more tnan 5 years old. The carriage bounced along the rough street, and everybody expected to see it overturned every instant. The little tot held fast to the sides of the vehicle with a bravery that was surprising in one so young. Women screamed, some nearly tainted, and strong men remarked that the babe could uot escape death. Presently a little barefooted boy-, who could not have been over 13 years old, was seen to dash right in front of the swift running horses, grab one of thorn by the bridle and cling desperately to it. He jerked the horses and yelled to them, and finally managed to turn them into a fence corner, where they were stopped without tiny damage being done. It was a most daring feat on the part of the boy, and those who gathered about the carriage patted the brave little fellow on the head, and the women were so overjoyed that they fairlv smothered him with kisses. After the little girl had been tenderly lifted out of the carriage an old German came running up, almost out of breath. He managed to exclaim: “Oh, ntein Gott, is der norsos hurt?” “Kay, Mister, there’s der kid wot stopped yer hewses,” said an urchin, pointing to the little hero, who stood at the head ol' the horses. “Oh, ish dot so?” remarked the G*rman, in an indifferent way. ” “Johnny, I guess der man means to thank yer,” said the talkative boy; “but I guess lie’s too tired to say so.” The German entered his carriage and drove leisurely away, without even looking Rt the liny who had saved his child’s life. Those who stood around, and who had wit nessed the horrifying event, muttered curses lierause tho lad had not bran given a handful of money, or at least a heartfelt "thank you.” It Staggered the Mule, Too. From the Cheater (Pa.) Times. A tall man and a short man boarded a street car yesterday as it rumbled down Third street. The tall passenger stooped tej get in the doorway, while the little iuaHjr, head was not far above the handle okv? door. ' “How much fai*-f” asked the of the conductor. wKf "Five cents,” was the reply. “How much for muf asked the sawed-off man. “Five cents.” “Five cents|for me, too.” “Young man, don't you know the law regulates the difference between the ‘long’ and ‘short’ haulf” One passenger fell off the platform, and even the mules staggered.
