lion. S. K. Gilman of Hallowell. Judge of
the Municipal Court in that city, is not the
Justice to be out-generaled by offenders, to
the prejudice of sobriety and good order In
the community. The other day a festive youth
was observed by City Marshal Fowles to be in
a condition considerably “beyond the limits
of becoming mirth,"—the consequence of a
liberal portion of intoxicating liquor being con
cealed about his person. Marshal Fowles in
formed the youth that the laws of the State re
quired his arrest, and proposed to arrest him
forthwith unless said youth would inform him
where lie procured so much fiery liquid. He
hesitated to divulge the name of the seller,
but at length, in reply to the Marshal's ques
tion—“Did you get the liquor at O Brien’s,”
acknowledged—“/ didn't yet it anywhere
else." A warrant was then issued against the
O'Brien establishment, and the next day the
youth was.summoned to reiterate before Judge
Gilman the declaration made to the Marshal.
But the youth would not testify, and on being
pressed concerning the declaration made to
Marshal Fowles that the ardent was pro
cured at O'Brien’s, said,—“Well, Judge, 1
don’t know what I said to Mr. Fowles—fact
is / was drunk—pretty darned drunk, and I
don't know nothin’ 'bout what I said, I was
10 drunk." What is that you say—was you
trunk, yesterday?” responded Judge Gilman,
■Well, I was, Judge, you can bet on that.”
The Judge, in about two minutes’ time, haud
*d a paper on which he had been writing, to
Marshal Fowles, which ordered the arrest of
laid youth for drunkenness. The warrant
vas served instanter, and almost simulta
teously the Judge in solemn tone and with
lignified demeanor, pronounced a sentence
ipon the dumb-founded youth of “Five dollars
md costs for drunkenness on his own pleati
ng,” and that he “stand committed until the
aine is paid.” An “audible smile” pervaded
he court room, and all present felt that jus
ice had been done.

Deck Jocbmcl:—We are not inclined to
irubode evil, but in an accidental conversa
on recently with a very observing, intelli
ent and scientific gentleman of this city, he
lformed us that he had just discovered with
le naked eye, seven distinct spots upon the
in, some of them, as they appeared to him,
ot less than three or four thousand miles in
inmeter. Phenomenon of this kind lias
eretofore been indicative of a cold and back
aril season, and although the present is two
r three weeks in advance of last year still it
lay yet be retarded. Not long since we read
nnethiug like the following, we may not
note the precise language : We are gradual
' learning more anil more respecting the con
itution oi tiie sun, and as we learn wifarc till
! cd with nn increase of astonishment. The
[ red flames, so called, are now ascertained to
I lie fiery clouds consisting mainly of hydrogen
gas, heated to sueh an extent as to become
self-luminous. Their dimensions are enor
mous, often not less than 100,000 miles in
diameter. It has been ascertained that dis
turbances in the sun have wrought magnetic
changes in the earth, and the way in which
this has been effected perhaps may he scien
tifically explained. Whether that passage of
scripture in regard to signs in the sun and
moon and stars is to be literally or symbolically
understood we do not presume to say, but
if taken literally it is obvious there are agen
cies or forces already at work sufficient to
produce such a result. Some astromers say
our sun is a variable star and its spots are in
timately connected with the roil flames or hy
drogen clouds. There have been instances,
and one very recent, in which stars suddenly
became very brilliant and it is known that
this brilliancy is owing to incandescent hydro
gen. If this is the case with our sun and
should its brilliancy be greatly enhanced for
a time and he followed by obscurity or dark
ness, the quantity o! sunlight might not only
be greatly affected but the magnetic condi
tion of the earth also.
An Old Citizen.
Decoration Day In (>ardlner.
Yesterday was observed in Gardiner as the
day set apart for decorating with flowers the
graves of soldiers. With great propriety,
most of the places of business were closed to
allow all an opportunity to take part in the
interesting exercises. Flags were displayed
at half mast from the shipping, public houses,
engine houses, liberty poles, and other places,
and smuil flags and garlands and wreathes of
flowers hung from the doors and windows of
private residences and stores.
In the forenoon the graves of soldiers bur
ied in Maple Grove Cemetery, twelve in num
ber, were decorated, as also eight graves in
the old burying ground on High stree t.
In the afternoon a procession was formed
on Water street in the following order :
Marshal.
Hand.
Heath Encampment (> A. H.
Ollier Kotuiiicd soldier?.
Aid.
City Government.
Oakland Lodge, Good Templar?.
Aid.
( itizeno Generally.
The procession proceeded to Oak Grove
cemetery, where a platform had been erected
and where the principal exercises of the day
were to take place. The weather was most
delightful, and the day a type of that enjoyed
in this city. Large crowds of people gathered
in every part of the beautiful cemetery, while
around the stand gathered a vast multitude to
engage in and listen to the exercises.
During the progress of the procession, the
bells of the city were tolled and cannon fired.
The grand old piece,
“My country, 'tis of thee,”
was sung by a choir, under the direction of
Mrs. C. Stevens.
Prayer was offered by Rev. Mr. Kelley ol
the Military Asylum.
T hen followed the singing, by a large choir
of children, under the leadership of Mrs.
Stevens, of the beautiful and pathetic piece,
“Sleep, soldier, sleep!’’
The singing of this hymn produced an im
pression that cannot fade out in a day. Tears
started from many eyes as the sweet and ten
der words fell from the lips of the children. It
was a hallowed and a holy service.
An oration was then delivered by Rev. J.
M. Payne of Gardiner, lie referred to the
services held yesterday in the sanctuaries all
over the land, and >uid that to-day the Amer
ican people are again gathered together—not
in temples made by hands, but in the grand
temple of nature, in the silent city of the
dead to pay their respects to the saviours of
the Republic. In Rome and Greece the sol
dier’s grave is decked with flowers, but nev
er before was this act ot honor so widely ob
served as in our own country at the present
time. This service reminds us of the days
of patriotism and of sacrifice. In this an
nual observance we bring the richest treas
ures of earth to lay upon the graves of our
heroes.
lit* inquired what it was m the character of
our soldiers that calls for our praise. lie said
it was the quality of heroism—heroism at
home and on the battle field. This heroism
was exhibited by those who reared the temple
of the Republic, and it was conspicuous in
those who have shielded it from destruction.
It exhibited itself on bloody battle fields, in
damp prison cells, in hospitals and in the
halls of legislation. Indeed we may not look
to ancient battle tields'for examples of hero
ism. IK* cited many instances of courage
that will not seem less noble compared with
any of the ancient wars. He complimented
the army of noble women w ho bad spoken
words of courage and hope and bade sons,
fathers, husbands and lovers away to the field
of strife; of their unexampled devotion and
tender watchfulness in hospitals and at the
beds ut the wounded and dying soldiers.
Mr. Payne's address was brief, pointed, well
conceived and every way appropriate to the
occasion.
The decoration hymn was then >ung, after
which the members of the Post proceeded to
decorate the graves of soldiers in the cem
etery, thirty two in number.
Everything passed oil' in a very orderly
manner. Flowers were contributed by the
citizens of Gardiner in great profusion, and
every demand was met. The obsi rvancc ot
the day as it has been had in Gardiner and
this city, will tend to increase the* interest
each succeding year.
The Pirigo Base Ball Club of this city will
hold a meeting at their room this (Tuesday)
evening.
