emer eB THE DEAD AT PROSPECT HILL. Mr. D. Skutsch Delivers an Oration in German. The veterans of the Eighth Battalion, District of Columbia volunteers, deco- rated the graves of their fallen com- rades mm Prospect Hill Cemetery yes terday, They marched from Loch- boehler’s Park in a body, and D. Skutsch, of the Journal, delivered the address in German. The conclusion ol his oration was as follows: Now that all nature is again in ver- dure clad; that fields and forests, gar- dens and groves, appear again rejuven- ated in the garb of lovely spring; now that new life has sprung forth where the icy breath of winter had held all animation suspended, we find our- selves, in the midst of all these eviden- ces of life and health, here, at the home of peace, of seclusion, and of eternal rest, to look back upon the dead past, We have assembled to-day to pay our tribute of love and devotion to those who are past all earthly sorrow and trouble, who have returned to tha. hourne whence, #8 the poel says, tno traveler ever returned.” 1 Lis our tribute, this homage 18 paid to those who, in patriotic devotion to the country of their cholce, the country which most closely approached their ideal of a land of liberty, took up their arms for its maintenance as such, who helped to fight its battles and to win its glorious victories, until they themselves have passed over to that great army beyond, whose silent, endless legions our minds cannot conceive, War’s noisy activity has long since ceased: those who we: e once arrayed iu sanguine warfare against each other have long since returned to the calm occupations of peace; over the graves of dear friends the hands of the men of the North and the South have long since grasped cach other In fraternal spirit, and in common they are now striving to contribute to a common country’s greatness and prosperity. It 1s notin a spirit of hatred, therefore, that we are hers united to-day—we would but recall anew lovingly to our memories thoughts of the dear departed and of the duties which they, as our ex- amples, have left us as a heritage, Of these duties we adopted citizens are reminded by every last resting place upon this hallowed spot —a silent admo- nition of the dead to the living, that we should be true to them and to our- selves, Not upon the fleld of honor alone are there duties to perform for the patriotic citizen, there are also duties which claim our obedience in the calm pur- suit of peaceful development. Not only should our own welfare claim our exertion and sttention, but there are common interests which must be pre- served, If the German element of this coun- try does pot wish to expose itself to the well-grounded charge that it places material success above all other auns and objects of human existence, then it will have to devote itself to those duties in the future in a greater degree than # has done heretofore. But it will then also find that it is much easier to prevent unjust and oppressive legis lation by attacking the evil at its rools than to avoid the consequences of such legislation when it has once assumed legal force. In nine great States of this Union no Governor, no Legislature, could be elected If they should be unfriendly disposed toward the just claims of the German element, if it would but assert its inherent power and political strength, No man could be elevated to the office of President of the United States by one or the other of the two great parties of our land who should bear upon his 1810. The principle of political upon which our euatire system of gov- ernment rests, places into the hands of every one by far the most powerful weapon of self-defense man’s ingenuily ever created—the elective franchise, Has the German element properly ap- preciated this weapon, has it done jus. tice to ita responsibility as an import- ant, integral part of this free nation? A glance at the political situation of to-day will show it, Let us look be- yond the narrow confines of the place where we, an insignificantly small por- tion of that element, comprising mil- lions of the inbabitants of this Union, are assembled to do honor to our dead, the heroes of the Union. Let our eyes wander to yonder stately dome under whose massive colonnades are enthroned not only the legislative power of this country, but also the highest judicial tribunal which passes in judgment upon the decrees of those legislative bodies, We find that this German element, oune-seventh of the entire population of the Union, is neither represented upon that judicial tribunal nor in the Senate of the United States by but a single voice, We find that among the hundreds of Representatives from all parts of this great land in the National House of Representatives hardly a fiftieth part speaks as the mother tongue those sounds so welcome to our ears and hearts. Can there be valid reasons, in 4 system of government based upon the broadest foundations of universal equality, for such disproportionate rep- resentation of popular elements claim- ing common rights? Such a supposition would be hardly justifiable, ‘There 1s not a city of any extent in this country where men of German origin do not : hold places of honor among the fore- most members of the ph fraternity. | There are not many portions of this laud in which men of German descent have not made their way to the front ranks of citizenship by their great personal qualifications, by their brilliant successes upon the fields of Industry, commerce, the arts and sclences, or by their success in caring for public inter- ests or by their philanthropy. Can it be, nevertheless, a lack of interest in the common welfare, or ill-becoming modesty which relegates the best rep resentatives of the German element to the darkness of the political back- J, ia auctusion from the tical life of this nation of the German element, : ta eid in which ve i in. 4 terests should Le preserved and pro- tected ? Surely, it is an evidence that the Ger man has completely disappeared in the citizenship of his new fatherland, not- withstanding all bis German songs, all his German customs and habits, a'l his peculiarities and his language, It is an evidence that the German element, while rapidly acquiring political majority, has pevertheless learned to subordinate It- self to political divisions, to pass out of sight within these political divisions, obedient to the advice of the German prince of poets, Schiller: *Canst thou not be complete within thyself Serve as a link to that which is com- plete!” Truly, it were better for the German element, as we | as for the fortunes of this nation, would it but show less party fealty and more independence in thought in the political life surrounding it! It would not then be placed, in one part of the country, before the alternative of having its youth compelled to employ, even In acquiring a rudimentary educa- tion,the English language in preference or to the exclusion of the language of their lomes, It would not be asked in another part,to accept and respect laws which originated in the narrow minds of fanatics —laws, which, at best, are but ephemeral and problematical. it would not be asked to give its approval to narrow restrictions of the free hum- an right of migration by erecting bar- i riers against any nationality by means of unjust immigration laws feathered by unworthy class-spirit and nourished upon the breast of antiquated preju- dices, Every nation upon the earth at all worthy of a place in the world’s his- tory has produced men worthy of the admiration of their time and of pos- | terity, men worthy to serve as shining examples for all time to come. The | language they employed in their inter- | course with others of their peoples | served but as a tool to these great | minds. It ean furnish no grounds for | unjust barriers. Lofty principles and | ideas, such as those laid down in the American Declaration eof Independ- | ence, lose nothing of their beauty when reproduced in another language. | In the endless realm of thought amd mind there are no national barriers, | and woe unto the people who would | subordinate to material considerations their highest, their spiritual interest! Bat we are assembled to-day only to | show our lasting respect and devotion | for those citizens of German origin | who, in the nation’s hour of need, | offered their lives to save that of the | Union. More than they did no patriot of | any country could ever undertake to do. | Tue sacrifice of one’s whole existence | for the welfare of others, or for the | common welfare, is plctured to us in | poetry and history, in fairy tale and in | historical tradition, as the incarnate re- | alization of ideal unselfishness and mental greatness. Popular life among | all nations upholds such ideals in its herces, and the popular voice soon | weaves around their impersonations a halo of supernatural and mysterious qualities, The history of our own war is still too recent to admit of such a glorifica- | tion of its heroes and soldiers, But, when in future times popular tradition shall sing a thousand songs in telling of the deeds of our brave, then will not be forgotten those two simple sous ol the German =oil who lie buried beneath these mounds, They fell not in those great fights, those battles, of which the history of this land will tell coming generations in the far distant future. | ‘Ihe thunder of a thousand death deal. ing cannons did not lull them into that sleep from which there 1s no awaken- ing. Only the gently murmuring falls of the quiet Potomac were witnesses of to duty, waves carried | jut softly murmuring sea; they told their story to the mighty | waves of the restless, endless ocean, | and upon the crests of its wild waves | the tale was carried further and far ther until it reached the shady shore of | the German Fatherland, and told there | of its faithful sons, who, far, far away, | had died for their new conntry and for | the starry flag which they bad sworn to | protect, Whether il was accident or destiny that the first defenders of the seat of our Government, who should fail al- | most within its sight, should have been | Germans—should have been adopted | sons of the land-—will their noble ex- ample not ever be an admonition for the American people that their liberty is destined to be the heritage of the oppressed of all nations? The courageous gladiators of ancient Rome, when entering the arena, were wont to exclaim before thelr ruler: “We, who are about to die, we greet thee, imperator!” But we, as we part from this last resting place of those who have victoriously ended their earthly battle, we part from them say- ing: **We who return anew to the bat. ties and duties of life, we greet you, sons of liberty— Rest in Peace!” And may all, as they leave this con- secrated spot, this temple of peace and of eternal rest, return to their homes solaced, refreshed in mind and spirit]— Washington Post, May 51.

The lamps should always be cleaned in the morning, for if left till afternoon they are liable to be forgot ten, and when wanted for use cleaned hurriedly or not cleaned at all, Once the lump is lighted, the wick ought not to be turned up to its full height at first, but turned down until the vapor on the chimney has disappeared and the glass 18 clear, and when then turned to its full height the glass will never break, It 1s the putting on of the chimney when the wick is turned to its regular height that breaks it suddenly, owing to the suddenness of the heat on the col i glass. If new chimneys are first put into cold water and placed on the stove and allowed to come to a boll, then taken off and allowed to cool in the water, they will become very dur- able and are not easily broken. If the burner becomes clogged, boil it in soda water and wipe aud then dry on the back of the stove, New wicks should always be soaked in vinegar and dried before using, when they will give a clearer light and one not likely to flicker. The danger of allowing children to hand's lamps cannot be over-estimated, A tablespoonful of salt put in renders the oil non-explosive,”’ Snel ABA KEEPING THE HOUSE IN ORDER, A lady who is not especially worried about fire, but who knows from long experience that it may be necessary to call in a doctor any night, always makes a point of putting her house in order before retiring.
