A Parsee Funeral.

BY the kindness Of Parsee gentlemnI

SOUTHERN GRAVES AT ARLINGTON. A
member of the Southern Memorial associa-
ton of Washington says that the graves OF
the Confederate dead at Arlington Will
not be formally decorated this year. This
is due to the fact that very few Confederate
graves remain at Arlington. All the re-
mains of North Carolina soldiers, which
were in the majority, have been removed to
that State by the North Carolina Memorial
association. Several prominent mississippi
ans, have completed arrangements to have
their dead removed to Mississippi and in
TERED in one OF the local cemeteries. The
remaining graves at Arlington will doubt
less be decorated as usual by individuals.
