IOWA.

Comrada c. II. Fish, adjutant writes us as
follows: Garrett Post, No, Is, Newton, Iowa,
is having a new life infused into it by its Com
mander, Captain Manning. Formerly we met
only monthly, now we are to meet on the first
and third Fridays OF each month We are in
the midst of preparation for Memorial Day,
and expect to have very interesting and i'm
pressive services. The interest in Memorial
Day has steadily increased since the Post took
the entire charge of ceremonies, and had men,
bers of the Post instead of little girls to deco
rate the graves. All recognize the fact that no
one is SO well qualified to deck a dead comrades
grave as Roiag comrade. We did not muster
any recruits on the 9th ult., but we enlisted
them and mustered them to the number of four
at our regular meeting, the Oath ult. We now
have four others ready for muster-in. We offer
this work as our memorial of the 9th of April,
1865. Garrett Post has under consideration
the erection of a memorial hall for the exclu-
sive use of the Post, the Ladies' Auxiliary So
ciety and Sons Of Vsterans-the last two, yet

MASS CHUSETTS.

PROFESSIONALLY The event of the season in
Grand Army circles was the concert given
under the ausf'ices of the Department of Massa-
chusetts IN aid OF the Soldiers Home on Thurs
day evening. May 5. The idea of giving a con-
cert of songs sung during the war originated
with ComTade William VI. Gin. of Post 26
Each Pest OF the Department was invited to
send delegate to 4 meeting held TO further
such an enterprise and as result the concert
given in fremont Temple. Boston. April 10
At least Zoo comrades ard their families at
tended that entertainments But so great was
the unsupplied demand for tickets among the
comrades-outsidersw were not invited to patron
lie 1t owing TO the demand from the Grand
Army-tnat il was at once decided to repeat
the concert on a larger scale in hail of greater
capacity, and the hall of the Mechanics Fair
building was selected for the purpose The
Grand Army chorus was increased from fifty
TO two hundred voices and in addition to the
Schubert Mendeissohn and Lotus quartettas
the services of The TemDle quartette were
added, together with Mrs. II. F. Knowles. the
Boston Cadet band Of thirty-six pieces, and
Post flute. and drum corps of Philadelphia,
with detachment bearing their old battle
flags. Notwithstanding that the hall comfort
ably seats 5000 persons, the demand for tickets
far exceeded this number, and that too from
the comrades Only q limited space was re-
served for the general public Many of the
supply of tickets wanted but the limits of
space were memorable. As it was, there were
fully 5000 persons in the hall, the largest
number il ever contained, and it is safe to say
as enthusiastic and appreciative as it ever will
have. The occasion was simply unique There
is nothing to compare it with. The applause
at times was something deafening 1t re-
minded one of the roar of the Wilderness
musketry. 1t broke out for the first time when
Dahlgren Post, No. 2, of South Boston, fled ND
the center aisle escorting Post flute and drum
corps and the old battle-iags of Philadelphia.
Dahlgren Pest wore new white helmet. which
they have adopted as a part of their uniform
The entire audience rose 10 their feet and ap-
plauded and cheered them to the echo Per-
haps the most effective songs were Tenting
on the Old Camp Ground and 1.-The Vacant
Chair Probably the latter song was never
rendered SO touchingly beautiful as the Lotus
Glee Club rendered it on this occasion, and
scores OF the audience were moved to tears by
the awakened memories of long ago. The Sc
lectlons were not all war songs, but the outside
pieces were appropriate and undoubtedly added
strength 10 the programme. Just how much
was melted by the enterprise is not yet known
AS the expenses were somewhat heavy and the
admission TO comrades and their families only
twenty-five cents, probably the sum cleared
viii not be large. But the interest and enthu-
slasm which attended it are hint to Posts in
cities and large towns in need of funds which

and boldness in storming the enemy, which
seems 10 be hydra headed, cropping ont
sometimes where least expected, and which
demands the vigilance of the wary sentinel.
Would it not be well for the G. A. r. TO add
