welcoming the surviving and returning volun-
teers of the state are inscribed In the fotunda
of the state house Of the commonwealth of
Massachusetts, where are cnshrined the battle

These banners returned to the government
of the commonwealth through welcome hands,
borne one by one out Of this capitol during
more than four years OF civil war as symbols
OF the nation to the commonwealth under
which the battalions Of Massachusetts departed
10 the fields. They came back again borne
hither by surviving Representatives of the same
heroic regiments and companies 20 which they
were intrusted. Proud memories of many
fields; sweet memories Of valor and friendship;
sad memories of fraternal strife; tender memo

eyes looked last upon their flaming folds; erult-

human nature itself; unexampled by any former
achievement of arms; immortal memories with
immortal honors blended. twine around the

In the square at the corner Of Connecticut
avenue and l streets stands the statue of
Admiral Farragut, the naval hero. The statue
is Of bronze made from the propeller of the
old fighting Hartford, his flagship.

After the addresses were made to the people
surrounding the park the statue was unveiled
by Quartermaster Knowles and Boatswain
Wilers, who were with Farragut when he was
lashed to the rigging of his ship in the thickest
of the fight at the battle of Mobile bay.
The unwilling itself was full Of incidents; an
admirars flag was displayed, the drums of the
bands beat four rufies, while battery of artil-
lery in Lafayette Square fired an admirals
salute Of seventeen guns.
great shout went up from the multitude as
the flag that yelled the statue was withdrawn,
showing the figure and features Of the grand
old naval captain. He is represented as stand

When the Army Of the Tennessee was about

At the foot of the Capitol. on Pennsylvania
avenue and facing west, Is what is known as the
Peace monument. Originally it was the
design to dedicate this to the sailors and
marines Of the late war, but Congress decided
that it should stand as a monument of peace.
The monument has a'history. In 1861 at the
fall of Fort Fisher, Admiral Porter started a
subscription in his fleet for the erection in
Washington of fitting memorial to the sailors
Of the navy. The sum of $4,000 was raised
among the officers, mdshipmen and men of
the navy. Civilians contributed about four
thousand dollars. Congress made up the
balance Of the cost of the monument. which
was about S2l. 900. 1t was commenced in 1871.
Franklin Simmons of Maine being the sculptor,
the work being done in Rome. The monument
Is OF Ravacchione Carrara marble, forty-four
feet high. The surmounting figure represents
History recording the woes narrated by
America; west of The plinth Victory crowns
young Neptune and Mars; on the east side is
Peace Offering the olive branch, surrounded
by the products of the peaceful arts. sculptors
at Rome say that this was one Of the finest
works ever sent to America It WAS brought
over in the U. S. S. Supply and was unveiled
In 1877 without ceremonies.

The bronze statue of James A. Garfield, one
Of the most elaborate memorials in the city, Is
at the foot Of the Capitol on the west side at
the Maryland avenue entrance. II Is q bronze
figure, ten feet. in height. a striking wopk of
art representing a cost Of s55.000, of which
sum eos, 900 was raised by the Army Of the
Cumberland and $50. 900 donated by Congress.
The idea Of erecting q memorial to Garfield
originated on the day that he died. The Army
of the Cumberland was holding a reunion at
Chattanooga when the news Of Garfeld's death
reached them; shortly thereafter came a tele-
gram to the society from the late Gen. r ID.
Mussey Of this city, bearing the suggestion.
The telegram was dated Washington, Septem-
Der 81, 1881, and was as follows:
Washington members propose memorial
stone to Gen. Garfield in Washington. Monu-
ment by our society,""
The idea was adopted with enthusiasm and
committee Immediately appointed to carry out
the project. The committee consisted of James
barnett. chairman; Henry NJ. Cot, secretary:
H. O. Corbin, treasurer, and w. A. Robinson.
]. O. Smith. J. q. Parkhurst, Anson q.
McCook. John b Ruhm and A. D. Underwood.
They went to work Immediately and issued
appeals for funds; by 1854 they had collected
81. 900 and Congress agreeing to furnish the

have taken their places in silent eloquencs as
guardians and guards Of the nation they loved
so well, and as the years pass on these squares
and public places will be rendered moro and
more populous, more and more eloquent by
the presence Of dead heroes Of other days.
From all quarters Of the country, from all
generations Of its life, from all portions Of its
service, these heroes come by the ministry
and mystery Of art to take their places and
stand as permanent guardians Of our nations
glory"
The speaker probably did not dream that IN
less than half dozen years his own statue would
be added to the other silent witnesses Of the
nations respect to the memory Of its great
men.
There are now in this city five statues Of
generals and admirals Of the civil war, two Of
the war President, Abraham Lincoln, and one
monument erected to the soldiers, sailors and
marines. The statues usually stand in one Of
the numerous circles in the city formed by the
Intersection Of several streets and avenues.
Some were erected by the government and
others are the loving tributes Of comrades Of
the dead heroes and Of army corpa

THOMAS BUCHANAN READ.
In Hampton Roads the airs Of March were bland,
Peace on the deck, and In the fortress sleeping.
Till, in the lookout OF the Cumberland,
The sailor, with his weli-poised glass in hand,
Deserted the iron island downward creeping.
A sudden wonder seized on land and bay,
And Tumult, with her train, was there to follow:

In shape, a wave, with long and Shelving HEIGHT
As II a mighty billow, heaved at night,
Should turn to iron In the mid-Atiantio.
Then ship and fortress gazed with anxious stare.
Until the Cumberland's cannon, silence breaking,
Thundered its guardian challenge, "Who comes
there?"
But ike rock-nung echo in the afr,
The shot rebounded, no impression making.
Then roared broadside; though directed wen
The tempest OF our nound,no shot spS ssa
Crumbled TO harmless nothing, thckly fell
From on the sounding armor Of the giant
Unchecked, still onward through the storm 1t broke
With beak directed at the vessels center;
Then through the constant cloud Of sulphurous
Drove TIL It struck the warriors wall of oak
Making gateway for the waves to enter.
Struck, and to note the mischief done, withdrew.
And then, with all murderer's impatience,
cieavins the noble hull wen nigh in I swos
And ON 1t sped Its fiery imprecations.
Swift through the vessel swept the drowning swef,
With splash, and rush. and guilty rise appalling:
While sinking cannon rung theirOwn loud knell
Then cried the traitor, from his sulphurous CELL

How spake our captain to his comrades them
