They are not in the habit of drinking more than they can conveniently carry home and they were much astonished after they pass ed Howard street to find that the malt fume* from famed Bohemia had decidedly the best of them. The night was dark and their house* looked exactly alike. They held a convention an the street and passed a resolution to the effect that they could not pick out their respective houses. After considerable debate thsy resolved to tackle the first house and find out which of them lived there. With great difficulty they reached the door bell, and frantically sent a peal ringing through tho house. A lady's head was immediately visible at a second story window. "Does Mr. Thomp son lite here?" asked an uncertain voice. "Yes sir," was the irrascibie response. "Are you Mrs. Thompson? 1 ' again ven tured the Meseo-Sopreno," "I am," was the Damascus-like reply. "Then will you please come down and pick Mr. Thompson out, Mr. Johnson want* to go home." There is a decided coolneet now noticeable between the two famtltee.

Momorial Honors to tho Nation'# Dead. Never slnco an annual momorial day was instituted in honor of tho dead sol dier* of tho country was tho day more ap propriately and impres*ivoly observed in Kellofonto than on last Monday. Gregg I'ost, No. 96, Grand Army of tho llepub lic, had taken liinoly action to mako tho corcmonies of tho day successful, as well as interesting, to those who should take part in them, and tho mombor* oi tho I'ost aro to bo congratulated upon tho perfection of their arrangements and tho fitting manner in wiiich they were carried out. It rnuy bo said thatthe memorial honors really began on Sunday, by a sermon de livered to tho I'ost by Kov. John Hewitt, of tho I'rotostant Episcopal Church. Be tween fifty and sixty member* of tho I'ost inarched to tho church in a body, occupy ing a number of pews set apart for them. A largo congregation was present, and tho services throughout wcro of an impressive ly interesting character. In connection with tho usual Sunday morning service of tho church, tho rector read for tho lesson* of tho day the thirty-second chapter of Genesi* and tho sixth chapter of Ephes iaris, taking for his text the Ist, -tui and part of tho 7th verse* of tho ehapter read from tho Old testament, in these word* : 1. "Ami Jacob went on hi* way, and the angels of (els u* to omit them. The programme arranged by the F.sst fixed the hour for the assembling of the various organizations taking part in the ceremonies at four o'clock, r. M., and promptly at that hour all appeared in tho square in front of the Court House. The line wa* formed under the direction of Ad jutant Henner, and then turned over to the command of Pot Commander George F. Harris, who acted as Chief Marshal. Wheeling into column the procession marches! over the prescribed route in the following order : Chfcf Mar*h*l ih'i N'XHitait) Oty lUn4. r,rr,f4r.T 11. %4h X. 0 P*. P*t, No. &. Q.

With *low, nmanured tread the column marched up the main avenue of the city of the dead and wheal- Ing to the left proceeded to the burial lot of the llalo family, around which a hollow <]uare wa* formed, preparatory to the ex ercite* of the day. The decoration exercise* in the cemetery began with the beautiful ritual of the Urand Army of tho Republic for the dec oration of four apecial graves. The object of the a**emblage wa* *tated by the Poet Commander and wa* followed by prayer by Rev. i>e Long. Comrade* Keller, Ir vin, Love and Lankin then, in the order named, dunwind the four gravM, each re pealing the inlemn and appropriate word* of the ritual. At the concluflon of thl* ceremony came the general decoration of the grave* of all the soldier*, "lying *o quiet by night and by day," In th* cemetery. A magnificent floral croc* that *tood at the centra of one tide of the iquare wa* stripped of It* lux uriant wealth of "beautiful flowers" by the member-it of tbo l'ot, all carrying off boquot* to deck the grave* of their dead comrade*. When this had been accom plished, the assembly wa* lounded, and the organization* and vi*itor* present gath ered around the stand to licar the oration oi Hon. .1. Merrill Linn, of Union coun ty, who had been announced a* the orator of the day. Mr. Linn wa* introduced to hi* audience by l*ot Commander Harris, and at once proceeded to deliver hi* ora tion. It wa* read from note* and wa* an eloquent and a well written production. After a glowing tribute to the deeds and memory of the dead heroes of the war, il lustrated by a touching reference to the soldiers of the American revolution, he proceeded to the real theme of discourse— that of Nationality—and was listened to with much interest. At the conclusion of the oration the benediction wa* pronounced by ltov. He Long, and the various organization re formed and marched to court house square whore the column was dismissed. The grave* of the soldiers who lie in the Catholic and Friend* cemeteries were vis ited in the morning and properly decorat ed by members of the Host detailed for that duty. The grave of every soldier lying in the cemeteries of Uellefonte, therefore, recieved its floral tribute to the memory of the dead patriot sleeping with in its narrow bounds.

At the conclusion of the address, the benediction was pronounced by Iter Laurie, of the I'resbyterian church, and thus ended the exercises of the day. A CARtI or TIIAXKR. The committee on floral decorations, G. A. K , deem it no more than just to say that they owe to the children o| Bollefontc whatever success may have attended their decoration ceremonies. The ladies who comprised the committee worked the flow ers into wreaths, cr-ses and bnquets. suf fered nothing to be lost that would decor ate and supplied graciously the benefit of their experience and culture ; but the boys and girls gathered the fragrant treasures from the fields and gardens and generously made them a free gift We acknowledge gratefully the receipt of wreaths, crosses, boquet* prepared by i friends at home. % Comrade William Jones deserves men- , tinn for the preparation of the Court House for the ceremony in the evening, but he had ladies U> help, whoae taste sup plied the decoration* upon the alter. These acknowledgments being made to all our benefactors, we now think it proper that we should say to those children who expected to take part in the ceremonial at the cemetery that the threatening rain ne cessarily curtailed that feature in the ser vices, via of receiving the flowers and handing them to the comrades upon the entry of the latter into the cemetery, Tne ladies aid committee on decoration consisted of the fotiowing named ladle*: Mis# Sallio Benner, Mrs. D.

In addition to the excellent music of the band, the choir present on the occasion ] rendered the memorial ode and a number | of other selections in a very excellent and j pleasing manner.
