iyo ul Appomattox Potts, O. A. B. Unit to Commemorate the Greatest Event in American History. The pulpit platform of the First Conr Rational Church last evening presented beautiful and unique appearance.

On either side of the pulpit stood single afacks of arms from Appomattox end Lyon G. A. twined with rosea and lilies, out of which rose the handsome silk guerdons of the two Posts. Beneath the guns were artillery wheels in marguerites and mangolds, the spokes and hub in red and the felloes white. In the center of the platform was a tail broken column en circled by a wreath, the table in front of which was banked with the rarestrosfs.

Across the front rail of the ocgan loft were the words In Memoriam" in marguerites. flanked on either side by the flags ef the two Posts and the banners of the Woman's Relief Corps of Lyon and Appo- mat ox. Against the organ pi wreatn enclosing the letters a. o. un one corner or tne left wa wreath in white, and on the other a 1 in red.

Altogether the decorations were handsome and eminently appropriate, an the ladies of Relief Corps No. 5, under the direction of their President, Mrs. Ad die R. Sherman, an anged them. The occasion of these preparations was the Union BEBTICES Of Appotnattoxand Lyon Posts of the Grand ArnvrT under the' auspices of the former poWL At the hour announced for the beginning of the services, the church was crowded to its' utmost capacity.

Ap pcJaaatt aed Lyon Posts, beaded by their respective km on corps, and followed by the WotBan'sj Relief Corps, occupied reserved seats jn front. The exercises opened with an organ voluntary, Marche Romaine" (Hummel), by Misx HeleneCos, after wh eb the presiding officer, Dr. Ii, E.

Uolike the motion to adjourn, they gene' 1 aggravate the evil they are intended to Circumstances may exist, which aa explanation is due from the speaker to the audience "-not for his hake, for thsirs and in such c84 he muat take the hazard of explaining. It i evident that some perg i who, if net evil-disposed, certainly had not the fear of this vast eoncoprse of people before his eyes, hns taken advantage of the youth and innocence the gahtlemen composing one of the committees having in charge the manginiint of these memorial exer- cises, an.i has imposed upon tbem.N This, ana nty own inability to decline an invitation mi st flattering iu itself and the more grati ving by reason of it connection with procoidicgs which appeal so forcibly to all our fc-tter sentiments and, emotions, constitute the only rational explnatioa that can be of the appearance before yViu, even for a brief moment, at such a time and apon such an occasion as this, of one who ban only just begun to be a resident of the beautiful 3ity of whom few of yon have ever seen till now, and to whom scarcely half a score of familiar faces appear in all this assemblage.

Fortunately, however, the occasion of these exjerciaea, for the time being, obliterates the word stranger from the American vocabulary, Tnere can be no strangers1 where ail have come up together to pay the homage of CNDTI.VO ATVICTION To the memory of those who were comrades in the privations, the perils, the sacrifices and, sufferings to which we owe the blessings of peace and a ifety at home, and respect abroad. To-night witnesses the closing scene of a panorama which so challenges thought and reflection that nothing connected with it can be commonplace. A great nati covering more than, half the habitable area of a continent devoted-to the arts and enterprises of peace, absorbed in commerce and traffic, in creating and accumulating property, in devel-ping and perfecting a civilization, that acknowieges no sovereign but law, and seeks no but tboe of has united in giving up a day te commemorating -war to celebrating the achievements of military heroes and laying garlands upon the graves 'of soldiers. The implements of gainful industry have been laid aside, the voice of trade is hushed, the clamor of avarice silenced. Music echoes in the public place, and listening thousands attend upon those who rehearse the oft-told story of valor and sacrifice and patriotic devotion, that forms the most splendid, and, it is Co be hoped the only permanent, menument of one the most stubborn and devastating conflicts of modern times.

Peace weaving chaplets to deck the brow of war; Eirene worshipping in the temple of Mai; it is a picture which, under the lisht thrown upun ft by the history of those countries from which our people sprang, these countries whose traditions we all assumed to hare inherited; seems to want the unity and ceuiteccy that are the attributes of truth. Still, the facta are indisputable. This, republic in not a nation in which the military spirit is domiuant. Exploits upn the field of carnage furnishes not the. theme with vLich the American orator can enchain his audience, nor the inspiration of the songs that live after the occasion that broaght them forth has passed away.

Military prowess gives no patent of nobility. With more than alty millions of people, we have practically MO STANDING 'ARMY. Our navy is barely, mesgerly, sufficient to afford accommodations or the necessary junketings of the gevernmerdw The sentiments of a nation thus indifferent to all the means of offensive and defensive warfare, can not be mistaken. heart is set on peace. And yet the picture presented tu-day is truthful lacks not nuity is no solecism.

The error is in the assumption that the homage paid to the jhmemory of our fallen heroes, like that paid in the old world to' its great captains, is the expression of admiration for their exploits in arms. That is but the incident. 'We seise upon it because it is a tangible thing something wsjean employ as a symbol, most appropriate by reason of the association of ideas, to fix aad fasten the mind the bieher and object of our affections: the American feature of the subject. Of the theusand Rfavss on which loving hands have strewn flowers to-day, and the hundred thousand upon which, in these symbols, have fallen the benedictions of millions of grateful few, indeed, were soldiers by profession. There came a dark day, when the principles of liberty and the union of the states bv which these principles must be FAIR ATTRACTIONS.

ARPER BROTHERS WIN AGAIN.

Alameda Ordinance Beaten. On the 17th of last month HI siren T. Arper was arrested in the city of Alameda for violating ordinance 32 of that city. which provides that any person other than merchant having a fixed place of business in that city who shall deliver goods with- the limits, of the corporation, shall be deemed a pedlar and shall pay for such privilege the sum of (530 per annum. IThe defendant, C.T.

Arper, is a partner in tbe firm of Arper Brothers, dealers in coal oil and gasoline, of this city, located on the corner of Thirteenth avenue and Fourteenth street. East Oakland, and doing an exten sive retail trade in these commodities. It has been their custom to deliver goods to all parteeof this city and Alameda free of charge, and for ds-livering in Alameda the- arrest was made. Arper Bros, i did not propose to auietlv submit to such an injustice, and in order to test the i law brought tbe case before udge Greene, of the Superior Court, on ft writ ot. habeas corpus, lhe case was set for trial and heard this morning.

After areument by counsel the Judge ordered the prisoner released and case dismiss sd. This deatroys ordinance No. 32 of the city of Alameda, under which Oakland merchants have been nniustlv "Davine into tbe coffers of Alameda the sum of $30 per annum for the privilege of delivering goods in this city, and Arper Bros, are to be commended for their pluck -in resist ing this unreasonable, unjust and discriminating ordinance aimed solely at Oakland merchants and enterprises. it is needless to say that Arper Bros. will continue to serve their Alameda customers and show to tbe merchants of that place that it is not in their power to build Chinese wall about tbe peofile who live in that municipality, and compel them to trade wholly within the limits of that wall.

These are the deeds done by men of peace, which every year we celebrate with national holiday.

This is the heroism we commemorate in these memorial exercises. The story, already told a thousand ti prill be repeated so long as liberty has her home in America, and it will never irrow old.

The American soldier had never ceased to be an American Citizen. He would now disclaim any virtue in laying down his arms and what ever rank his valor had won, and leaving the future in' the hands of civilians because his love of country placed him above temptation.

From this point of view oar volunteers were not relocated to private life when under such circumstances they tacked their arms; they were promoted the soldier's honorable rank of can- tain, of colonel, or general to the American eitizen's proud rank of Mister. Such is the attitude of the American min i toward the' soldiers, living and dead. who saved the country tons and our posterity; to liberty and law; to the legal equality of man to man; to those principles il mi terial and intellectual development which ave thus far undertaken to protect every man irrespective of race or color or nationa lity, in the rwht to have and dispose of is own labor and bis own thoughts as hb may choose, and pursue happiness aecordj-ing to his. own ideas thereof, with no resv lut other than those of the laws of the country.

The property owners of the dis trict are desirous of securing a good man to act as trustee, for it is the general opin ion that an election will soon be held to decide the issuance of school-house bonds, and in case tbe issuance -is decided upon, the trustee will have the handling of a large sum of money.

A married Dude lolled' in His Questionable Designs.

Two pretty young women, stylishly at. tired, stood in front of the Seventh-street depot waiting. for the train. It was evening. Presently two young men approached, one of whom was known to the elder of the two ladies.

Cordial salutation ensued. The odd young man was introduced. The othrr young lady was presented as "my sister;" and the sky somed clear for' the sunlight of a warm flirtation. "How is your wife and the babies inquired the first young lady of the first voung man. "Oh, they're all riht," responded the young saan in an off-hand indifferent manner.

''I've sent 'em off to the country for the season. I'm a graa widower ju-a. now." 1 "I suppose you enjoy your freedom," laughingly remarked the lady. "Immense," he auawersd, and it was plain to see that he told the "By the way, speaking.of enjoyment," he continued, "suppose we all go out for a ride on the lake. It is a beautiful tight and we can have a splendid The young lady neither accepted or declined, and finally, in answer to repeated and persislent solicitations on the part of the married mar, told him to get his friend, who had wandered listlessly towards Broadway, so that Benedict could have a better opportunity to "work the mash," and they would go with them.

With an alacrity inspired by his success and the evil thoughts that at that momentetigulfed his mind, the "widower" hurried Uo his companion. As so'on as be 1 had disappeared the two women, with a double peal of silvery laughter, ran aloar Seventh street tgWajMngton, where in the shadow they couuTwatch the subsequent proceedings.

While sitting upon the verandah of the 1 etel at which he was stopping, dreamily thinking of his pleasant home in hs wa rudely jostled by a cowboy who had been imbibing too freely ef pickles, gin and other groceries. Mr. Reddine undertook remonstrate with him sr his lack of good manners, when suddenly his chair was kicked irom, under him. Upon regaiuiag his equilibrium he immediately seized, a three-legged stool with which to attack his assailant, when the latter raised his shot gnn and fired, fortunately inflicting only a slight flesh wound in Mr. Reading's arm near the shoulder.

Had the two men been farther apart the shot would have undoubtedly scattered, resulting more seriously. Before his assailant could use ths other barrel of his gun, Mr. Redding made good use of his three-legged weapon and knocked the cowboy out. The belligerent cowboy is now in ths Ogden. jail, and Mr.

Redding congratulates himself upon his narrow escape. Woman's Inhumanity.

the Oakland Canoe Club had not been decided. This was the inspec tion of cruising canoes, the most complete boat to be awarded the gold badge prize, be thereafter held subject to challenge for sailing races. Harrison's Flirt, Engle- bresht's Spray, and Blow's Mystic were the competitors. The judges adopted the following percentage of points on which to make feward: Finish of boat, 20 points; ills, 20; rigging, 15; deck fittings, pad dles, flags, steering gear, 10; interior fittings, 15; storage and camp outfit, 10. Total, 100 points.

Aftertbe inspection the badge was awarded to the Spray, the judges evidently taking into consideration tbe fact tba she was built entirely by her owner, young Bob Englebrecht, a tnost enthusiastic canoeist, while the other two boats were purchased by their owners. Before tbe inspection was completed. Englebrscht, who was dissatisfied with the result of the race for first class canoss, ascribing his defeat by the Mystic to the parting of his mam sheet during the race, hallenged Blow to another trial. The halleuge was at once accepted and both canoes were soon in position. The Spray ad the advantage of the' start.

Blbw, ia tbe Mystic, dropping be hind and beading for the windward position. The breeze bad' died own' considerably, and neither craft ro'aded ery rapid headway. The Spray held her dvan.taKe. and turned the stake boat on the Alameda shore several' lengths' in ad- auce. In the race across to the Oakland stake the wind was puffy, and first one boat would seem to gain- and then the other, as they caught the variable breeze.

The Spray continued in the lead. owever, and turned first. In going back to the Alameda stake the Spray opened up er lead considerably, but the Mystic out pointed her so much as to more than inaKe for the loss. In turning the stake; En glebrecht stood in too far, which Blow in is position to windward was able to take advantage' of, thus obtaining a lead several lengths, which' he held to the finish, the Mystic making the course minutes, with the opiay 10 seconds behind her. Tbe race vas se close, how- ver, that the merits of the two1, canoes may be said to be about equal, an accident or tbe display 'of superior skill on the part i the helmsman really being tbe deter mining factors in any race between them.

An error in yesterday account ot tbe regatta made it appear that tbe contests or single and Four-oared shells was over a wo mile course. The course rowed was but a mile, and this will explain tbe seem- ng discrepancy between tbe distance and the tim made by the oarsmen. 1 he only unpleasant feature of he day's sport was the unwarranted uterference in the race for skiffs and awls of the sailors of Beveral outside boats, who started with the "contestants, never troubled their heads about giving them the right of way, but "blanketed" several of the boats ever nearly the entire course. In the "consolation" race one of these outsiders essayed the same tactics. but the competitors in the i race had the satisfaction of saeingthe boat go bottom up and leaving the.

A powerful and persistent Mormon lotehy has -been at work to prevent the bill reaching the House, and to defeat it should it come up for consideration. Apparently the lobby has succeeded, as it is now so late in the session that even should the bill be reported to the House, its opponents would it to death.

Mother Baptiste was received into the order of the Sacred Heart by its founders nearly fifty years ago, and was sent out to this coast seventeen years since to establish a school here. Tbe property', was worth about 8,000 at that time; but 1,000,000 would not buy it now. The reverend mother will leave behind many friends who will regret to see her departure. It is not probable that she will return to this coast, she having remained now longer thon the usual term of sojourn in one place by sisters of her order. It is not unlikely that she may be elected Mother General of the order.

This order holds its regular annual chapters when the Mother General and four assistants are elected for the ensming term, and they then appoint the Mother Superiors for tne several soases, taxing tnem in tne order of their prominence. i Much a tune: i How the round afaot seems to roll On some unsuspecting soul All ten soon.
