FAMOUS MEMORIAL ADDRESSES,
The Last Man Killed in tho war-Did

In one of the most impressive Decora
ton day addresses ever delivered these
words were uttered: when the war was
oyer in the South, where under warmer
skies and with more poetic temperaments
symbols and emblems are better under
stood than in the practical North, the
widows. mothers and children of the Con-
federate dead went out and strewed their
graves with flowers; at many places the
women scattered them impartially also
over the unknown and unmarked resting
places of the Union soldiers. As the
news of this touching tribute flashed over
the North it reused, as nothing else could
have done, national amity and love and
allayed sectional animositv and passion.
1t thrilled every household where
there was vacant chair by the
fireside and an aching void in the heart
for a lost hero whose remains had
never been found old wounds broke out
afresh. and in mingled tempest of grief
and Joy the family cried, Maybe it was

alike to North and South came this
beautiful custom. But Decoration day no
longer belongs to those who mourn. 1t is
the common privilege of us all, and will
be celebrated as long as gratitude exists
and flowers bloom"
Thus Chauncey NJ. Depew in his
Decoration day address in 1879 told briefly
of the origin of the custom of strewing
graves with flowers, and John S. Wise in
a speech made some years ago declared
that the tenderest and most touching
legacy of the war was that sentiment OF
common pity and humanity to which the
women gave expression in a Southern
cemetery when they declled the graves of
Confederate and of Federal soldiers with
impartial hand.
The custom at first was rather slow in
taking root, and it was not until the Grand
Army posts throughout the Union, by
common consent, fixed upon the Both day
of Nav, the time of the poisoning of the
flowers, as day when they should dedi-
cate themselves to a simple ceremony of
paying tribute to their lost comrades by
strewing their graves with flowers. The
custom met with such popular approval
that one after another the legislatures of
the different states set apart the day
legally for such observance, and now, as
Henry Ward Beecher said only year or
two before his death, there is probably not
a cemetery in the land which will not re-
veal on the eve of Decoration day, either
by little flags or flowers, that il contains
the dust of one who gave his life in the
civil war.
The suggestion that upon the battle
fields of the South there should be plots
of ground consecrated as burial places for
soldiers who fell upon those fields seems
to have been spontaneous. 1t was popu-

long after midnight, and the ladies who
contributed their services deserve many
compliments.
In the early evening q procession was
formed Mt the coust house and headed by
the brass band marched tho length Of
Main street and back to the place Of
starting. The boys were disappointed
in not receiving torches ordered, but a
large number Of transparencies helped to
give the turnout a good appearance. We
could not catch but q few of the inscrip-
lions on the banners and transparencies.
those were:

and Clyde LeBlond, acting as master of
ceremonies, called upon C. r. Tinan for
