PLYMOUTH BEAIT-BAKn.
One of tbe pleasures of National Encampment
week was the joint G.A.R. and W.ILC bonn-bnke,
at Plymouth. TheaUendance was Immense, Wgin
lng with National and Stale officers of both Order,
together wufa the S. of V., and exteuding to the
thousands of the rank nnd file.
There were parades and lunches, visits to Ply
mouth Hall, Old Burial Hill, the Pilgrim Mon
ument and Pilgrim Hall, while few of the multi
tude foiled to tako the charmed step upon the roek
where the Mayflower ooloniots first sot foot. The
tea having receded, this rook is now some rods
Inland, protected by a pillared shrine and strongly
inclosed from the tooob of the vandal rclie-chipper.
The gates were wide-open for the men who saved
tLe Nation.
Tbe Pest and Corps of Plymouth cztonded every
fralersmi otHfriesy to their visitors, and many an
Lwtorie old zmoeton dfepeased good, old-fashioned
bospfcaHty. Dr. and Mrs. Brewstor kept open
bouxc. Dr. BrewHcr Is a lineal descendant of Elder
Brewster, and among the rare historic relies in his
Loau is a carved oak chair that belonged to tbo
Lfder, which oawe over in the Anne a few years
after the landing of tbe Mayflower.

President Knapp, a deeeeadant of John Alden nnd

Odd Fellows Hall, which was a bower of beauty,
l&vkdity decorated with gold en -rod In masses of

cumber limited to IS. The studies of the school are
lltofce preparatory for college, eoientiflc schools and
busifleM. The r-eheol is under admirable rnanagc
cent, and happy the boy w)k Is admitted.
The grand feature of the day was the dam-bake
andMwaeauigbt never to be forgotten to tee the
great tables Mr etched along the shores of Plymouth
Bay htden with the sweet, cueculent dam in the
tbeil. bet from tbe elam-hake, the tables su rrounded
by fewaris of btee-ooeta, varying the dish with

FINE TIUIJUTi: TO A FINK COIU'S.
Dear TntnUNis: Lincoln Belief Corps, No. 3. San

of tho departure of the California delegation for
Boston. Word wns received from Waller Leman,
tho loyal octogenarian, endeared to every San
Franciscan as a veteran of the Tlicpian days,
that ho had written a poem in honor of Lincoln

before the members. Mr. J.omnn was n member of
the famous California Theater Company, mniingud
by John McCulIotigh, nud numbering among Its
members Lnwrenc Uiirrctt, Harry IJdwards, Bar
ton Hill, Mrs. .luihih, nnd many other notables.
His 1 1. email's) advanced age and the failure of Ms
sight hnve not taken from him tho fire of youth,
nnd patriotism is n peieniiinl Uaino in his bosom.
He is n great favorite with "the boys," and was
their honored fellow-trnveler to tho National lSn
cnmpiiiciit. His beautiful while Iicnil nud great
good henrl make him equnlly n favorite with tho
Indies, ns well as the fact that his two daughters
me members of Lincoln; one. Mm. Ferguson, being
our present Department Treasurer. The Post,
with n number of guests, was formally invited to
attend the recitation. Tho boys wero having n
pretty good time downstairs, judging by tho Iro
qiient rounds of applause, but they soon came
up, escorting Mr. Lcmnu to the sound of the drum,
which was reinforced by n lively march from tho
Corps piano. About 100 comrades, counting visit
ors from Garfield nnd Thomas Posts, were present.
The beautiful poem was recited by Mr. Leman in n
masterly and fervid style, touching every heart,
and drawing forth round after round of applause.
President Ilnrlow. of tho Corps, then called upon

THE W.K.C.
BY WAKTHIt M. I.EMAU.
Dedicated to Lincoln Belief Corps. No. 3, Depart
ment of California, W.B.C.
The time to march had como, nnd the tapping of
the drum
Was heard on the mornin:r air.
-Ami on the village green tho old flag wns seen,
For the volunteers wero mustering there.
The rumble and the roar from the Carolina shore
Was heard in the lulls of tho North,
And the volunteers hnd conic nt the summons of
of the drum
To take the answer hack to tho South.
And woman, too, wns thoro, with blessing and
with prayer.
The sister, and tho wife nnd mother.
To look into the face ni:d take the last embrace
Of the husband, nnd father, and brother.
But they subdued their fears, nud smiled through
their tears,
Wlnlc their hearts with anguish wore wrung.
As the last farewell was said and tho prayer to God
was prayed
With n faltering tomruo.
And the men went forth to bnttlo for tho right
And brave the soldier's fntc,
And the women remained to suffer and prny,
To work, to watch nnd wait.
The war-noto rang, nnd tho battle's loud ohing
Was heard over mountain nnd plain,
And the waters of the river nud the deop bluo sen
wero dyed with the blood of the slnin.
And the soldier of the South and the yocmnn of
the North
Grappled breast to breast on tho field;
The one to blot out. the other to prosorvo
Tiie stars on the Nation's shield.
Bui woman, too, was there, with a blessing and u
prayer.
The ministering angel of the scene.
And she uioisleiiod tho lips nud bathed tho throb
bing brain
With water from the cool canteen.
But she subdued her fenrs and kopt back her tears,
Though her heart with sorrow was wrung,
Ah she listened to the whispered blessing
From the dying soldier' longuu.
And man went on with wrath, in tho struggle nnd
the strife.
And woman followed after to bind up tho wounds
And save the soldier's lifo,
And thus towotk, nud watch, and wait.
The sweet and happy home, where tho father used
to come.
And was met with merriment nnd glco,
Is desolate and shorn, and he never will return
To take the prattling Imbe on his knee.
For the bulletin has told how with the squadron
bold
no charged through n fire of hell;
How with vietory lu sight, in the thickest of the
tight
The bullet reached his heart, and ho fell.
But woman still is there with blessing nud prayer
And pity for the sorrow around the vacant obnlr.
And tbe widow nnd the children of their noblo
father proud,
Accept the Idltor oup nnd pass under tho rod,
Vt ittie lue true unit tultuiul uoldlora of the noble
Woman's Corps
Keep steady watch nud ward nnd stand on guard
around the door
Where they pray, but no longor watch or wait.
The bloody drama ends nnd the curtain descends,
And the old flag waves as of yore.
From the Pine-Tree State to the Gulden Gnto,
From Alaska to the bluo Gulf's shore.
But over all the Jand.rom the center to the strand,
The widows and orphans mourn
For tho loy who wont forth in the pride of Ids
youth,
And the father who will never return.
Bui woman still is there, with blessing and with
prayer,
Tho Belief Corps, commissioned by noaven
To dry tlie ie,iliig eyes and soothe the heavy
signs,
And bind up the hearts Uint nre riven.
The army of tiie dead, wiio for the Nation bled,
Have marched through the pearly uate,
And anon the slater Corps will Join the comrades
there.
For which hour they work, nnd watch, and wait.

I'ast Commander E. V. BJchards, Trenton: Your
account of tho part takon by Joseph Hooker Post,
23, of East Boston, In the entertainment of visiting

As a member or Anron Wilkes Post, 23, this Depart

voice tho sentiment or every one or the 150 men who
were there Hint the open hearted liberality of
Hooker Post wns not surpassed by any organization
upon that ornny other occasion. Upon our arrival
on Monday evening wo were escorted to Hie banquet
hall, where wo partook of n dinner fit for the god-j.
After nn nddrcss of welcome by Commander Preble,
responded to by Commander Bodinc. wo were each
presented with a handsome metnl badge, shaped
like a banner, with the names of both Posts around
tho figures 23, with date and occasion upon it. Our
qunrlers wero olognnt. On Wednesday we were
niKcn flown tbe bay to Nnhnnt. The rifle was de
lightful, and after seeing the beautiful residences,
the rugged coast, and eating a clam dinner calcu
lated lo satisfy tho craving or any old soldier's
stomach, wo returned to East Boston. After sup
per the evening wns spent in serenading the Past

In visiting plnccs of interest in nnd around Boston,

350 gave a banquet in their well-arranged nnd
sumptuous hall to all soldiers, sailors nnd families.
Posts were out In full force from all parts of tbo
County; fully 700 men in line for the par ado anil
review. Our town was richly decorated with bunt
ing nud transparencies. Elaborate arches spanned
Hie main streets, from which thousnuds of gas-jets
burned brilliantly, formed in mottoes appropriate
nnd attractive. Mnny old wontber-bealen lings
and guidons wore carried In the ranks that day,
rent nnd pierced by the rebel bullets way back in

Tho great success of the Boston National En

men booming the next Encampment in Detroit a

double thu number who went to Boston. Although
it is generally understood that tho National En
campment of the Grnnd Army will be held in Chi

a desire on tho pnrt of many Philadelphia com
rudos to visit Chicago after tho National Lncuiup
montat Detroit shall hnve adjourned.

Don't wash your face when yon are travelings
ntiloss it is with a little alcohol and water, or 3
