Something New About the Sun.
Although Solomon told us, nearly 3000 years
ago, that "There is no new thing under the
sun," it is a well established fact that some
startling discoveries have recently been made
in the stin.
Men have always had some vsgite idea of its
heating power, but of its other mighty agen
cies and influences they were largely ignorant.
It is a subject as fascinatinK as it is instruc
tive, and it is worthy of our earnest attention,
especially when so admirable a work as'"/'/if
(Jeleitial Symbol hit'riireted" (advertised ia
another column, published by J. C. McCurdj
A Co., Philadelphia, Cincinnati,
' St. Louis,) is within the reach of every one.
The learnedautbor not only acquaints tn with,
and makes plain tho newest scientific discov
eries, but he also teaches, at every step, some
great mora) truth.
I.est we be accused of undue enthusiasm in
speakiug ot this book, we take the liberty of
quoting the opiuion of the able and critical
Jv. Y. Observer-.
"This work has been carefully examined by
eminent, learned and orthodox divines, who
unite in testifying to its great beauty, useful
ness and truth. To some, the analogies may
appear strained, yet they are not more so than
1 tne figurative language of the Hiblc fairly war
rants, and the illustrations a*c fitted to eralt
our conceptions o{ the glory of God in ti;vti{re,
1 fcnd especially as it is seen in the iijrightcst of
ail His ki. The reader fluds the evidence
i of God's power and goodnes constantly reflect
ed from the Sun in these pages, and is led from
admiration up to that adoration which becomes
the oreature contemplating his Divine Maker."

Memorial Day.
At the last meetiog of the G. A. R. Post of
this place John T. Kelly, Alex. Russell and
Henry Korn were appointed a committee to
make arrangements for properly observing
Decoration Day, and all good eitizens of But
ler and vicinity are respectfully requested to
lend a helping hand to have a proper obser*
vance of said day. The following general or
der has been issued from headquarters of the
Grand Army:
OMAHA, NEB., April 14, lfcs3.
GENERAL ORDERS. NO. 10.
In compliacce with the rules and regulations
of the Grand Army of the Republic, Wednes
day, May 30, will be observed as Memorial
dav.
The national encampment adopted a resolu
tion at its session in Baltimore declaring that
this holy day should be called Memorial and
not Decoration Day.
I earnestly request all ministers and priests
of all denomination to deliver appropriate ser
mons or lectures, calling attention to the du
ties of the day—the sacrifices made and lessons
taught—on Sunday, May 27. I hereby com
mand Posts of the Grand Army of the Republic
to attend said services in uniform. In cities
and villages where it will be practicable, re
commend union services.
I recommend that the Grand Army take
esj>ecial steps to secure the presence and aid of
the children and youth of the country in the
ceremony of strewing Sower*, and otherwise
honoring the dead, and to that end I hope all
public and private schools, colleges ami acade
mies will be closed.
Let the hand of fraternity and charity be ex
tended to the widows and orphans of our dead
heroes. Seek them out; distinguish them from
all others, and teach them that on this day the
Grand Army mourns with them the loss of the
precions ones whom tliey gave the nation.
I recommend that the loyal women of the
nation be invited to aid in this work. Tliey
will toil with willing hands and grateful hearts.
Though others may have forgotten the dead,
the women have never ceased to remember
them and treasure in their pure hearts their
heroic services.
The marvelous growth of the order through
out the country will be a new incentive to us
to see that no grave is neglected. I trust
every sjKit where a soldier lies buried will be
strewn with the sweet flowers of spring time,
and urge the Posts of the Grand Army to take
immediate steps to remove every soldier's re
mains from the potter's field or paupers' bury
ing ground and re-inter them in the Grand
Army grounds. We cannot perform this cere
money in the proper manner unless we have
hone our duty to the living and the dead.
"With malice towards none and charity for
all," let us unite in this sacred duty. Let the
choicest, fairest and most fragrant flowers be
culled, and the soft white hands of the loyal
women of the land entwine the wreathe and
fashion the cross and crown, dropping here and
there, like the dew, a tear for the dead. Let
the choisest gardens be desolated that the mem
ory of the Union soldier may not wither. We
will lift once more the curtain that hides the
dark past and see our fallen martyrs die for
liberty. They gave their lives a cheerful sac
rifice. They died in hospitals on beds of pain
before the flag was torn with shot and shell;
on the battle field in the fierce maddening
charge; on the picket line under the leafy
trees close to the babbling brook; in the prison
pen where no pitying voice was heard and no
hand reached out to save; in the swamps, flee
ing from a fate worse than death, and some
went down in the mighty deep where the wild
waves lash ceaslessly over their bones. Many
sleep in graves marked unknown, but the lov
ing hearts and eager hands of a grateful people
will cast flowers ujton the soft green sward that
couers their dust. Let the gates of all the
cemeteries in the land open wide and their
guardians render all the aid in their power in
this noble work.
Comrades, a few short years fleeting swiftly
by, and our children will lie called on to per
form this duty. Let us live that the lesson of
of memorial day will be imprinted upon their
hearts, and they will willingly take up the
work where our palsied hands have left it, and
perpetuate for ail time to come the touching
ceremony we have inaugurated.
