Army BADGES.


II. from any cause whatsoever, any one hap
pened to have lost his command, or to have
strayed away from or been left behind by his
regiment, he could usually tell what part of the
army he was with.
An admirable and significant system of badge
was adopted for the entire Union army. The
different corps were distinguished by the shapes
the different divisions BY the colors, of their sew
eral badges. Thus, the first corps wore round
badge, the second clover leaf, the third dia-
mond, the fifth Maltese cross, the sixth
Roman cross. the ninth a shield, the eleventh a
crescent the twentieth star and so on. As
each corps included three divisions, and as it
was necessary to distinguish each of these from
the other two, the three good old colors of the
flag were chosen for the purpose~red,
white and blue; red for the first divi-
sion of each corps, white for the second
and blue for the third Thus, round
red badge meant first Division, first CORDS; a
round white. second division, first cOrps q
round blue. third division, first corps; and so on
of the other corps! Division and CORDS head
quarters could always be known by their flags
bearing the badges of their respective com
mands. As the men were all obliged to wear
their proper badges, cut out of flannel or colOred
leather. on the top Of their CAPS one could al
ways tell at a glance what part of the Army of
the Potomac he was In. In addition to this.
some regiments were distinguished by some pc
culiarity of uniform. Our own brigade was
everywhere known as 1.-THE Buck-tails. for we
all wore buck-tails on the sides of our caps

10 the Editor or HE EVENING STAR:
The near approach of the time for the
resumption, by our local musical organiza-
lions of preparations for public enter
tainments during the coming winter induces
me to note. with an expression Of regret
known to be generally felt in this COM
munity, the discontnuance in Washington,
during the last winter entirely, and almost
entirely for several winters. of the oratOriO con-
certs. which. given by the Philharmonic Society
under the skillfu conduct of DIR. Caufeld used
to afford such unmixed pleasure to a large class
OF our muSlc-lOving citizens. With the consid-
cradle array OF musical talent here, of no mean
order, it may be remarked passdnt it is
to the writer, singularly strange circum-
stance That an entire winter should
pass without the rendition by some
musical organization. of several Oratorios.
There is certainly sufficiently large portion of
this community Interested in aestOriO to sustain
a society which will devote itself under cOmpe-
tent conduct. to the'stuay anep'iendition of that

sable or necessary. in order to gain popular favor
and support, to give its attention to other music
Besides, its exclusive attention to. and eXecu-

A L8ad Of tho Dead.


China, almost wherever you see It, is land
of the dead. For thousands of years Cinnamon
have been assiduously employed in busying
each other. 1t is the habit of the Celestial
mOurner to plant his relative in grave that
shall last In the north there are few grave
yards; that is to say. few places exclusively de-
voted to defunct celebrities. The person who
is dead is placed in the most convenient and
comfortable spot which offers ITSELF and that
may chance to be in the center of a field Of rice
or on the roadside. If his relatives be rich they
at once raise huge mound Of earth over him:
if they do not happen to have great amount
OF dispOsable funds they put the coffin down in
the field or on the roadside, thatch it with
little straw, and leave it till the money for a
mound can be got together; or they erect over it
little structure OF loose bricks and tiles. The
wind and rain do their work. and SO the trav-
eler sees all over the landscape mounds of earth
thanked by exposed collins. These collins
are not f1imsy structures as in England, but sub
stantial structures of wood, made to last, and
consequently it is no unusual thing to count
many scores OF them at any one point of the
landscape in the interior. This does not lower
the spirits of the Chinese. 1t possibly gives
them typhoid fever; but that is another Ques-
ton. On the stranger its effects are novel and
various. All the second day of my journey
looked out upon graves and collins They clus-
tered under the hills; they lay on the waters
edge; they had been carefully placed under the
lee of houses: they occupied all the best parts Of
every field. Deceased Cinnamon surrounded me
everywhere. How far the distribution of graves
all over country in which the principal religion
of the inhabitants is the worship of ancestors
may delay railway construction even for STRAIT
egical purposes leave others to decide. But
learn that collins can be bought as they stand
for consideration. did not buy a coffin by
way Of experiment, but I knew man who had
done So and he estimated the cost at two dol
lars per deceased ancestor. So that IL is posi-
