Eleven years havo elapsed since tho close
Of tho War Of the Rebellion, and marvellous
changcs-socia1, n,nterial, aud political-havo
taken place since those stirring times, but
tho memories Of our lead soldiers still re-
main fresh, and yesterday the people Of
Chicago in a vast concourse gathered together
mud paid our fallen heroes their annual
tribute Of love md respect by decorating
their graves with flowers at Noscl1itl, Grace
land, Calvary, and Oakwootl Cemeteries The
day was n lovely one, ~ if 1nndo expressly
for tho observance Of this patriotic and af-
fcctionnte custom. Every cemetery WAS
crowded, nntt no grave WIS refused its tribute
Of flowers, tho decorators not stopping TO
question whether these graves contained
Northern or Southern soldiers. Tho music
was appropriate to tho OCCASION, and the nd
dresses were short Antl suitable, md no un-
toward incident marked tho proceedings in
any Of tho cemeteries.

is no abatement Of tho public spirit which
first suggested this annual observance.
They show tint, though time wears OH nn1
other things change, tho memory Of tho dead
soldiers still rcnlains fresh mud grcon. Tho
impartial distribution Of tho 11owers shows
tint the sectional passions engcntlercd by
the War havo cooled, and that tho lust of
ntl WHO sleep in these graves is alike sacred.
