Notable Memorial to Mr.. Lincoln

Notable Memorial TO MFR. Lincoln.
In the summaries of work
done by the Congress in its re.
cent session we have seen no
reference to one of the most
significant items of legislation,
viz, the appropriation to pur.
chase the house SIG Tenth
street, in which President Lin.
coin died. This item was added
to the sundry civil bill by ex-
Gov. Sayers, of Texas, and met
with no opposition in either
House or Senate. The matter is
now in the hands OF Col. John
NJ. Wilson, of the army, and
will be consummated as soon as
the necessary papers can be
passed. This crowns the patient
labors of the Memorial Associo.
citation Of the District, crnsist
ing of eighteen of our leading
citizens, with the Chief Justice

brought here four years ago a
large and valuable Lincoln
museum from Springfield, ILL.,,
which was fully described in
The Post when it was opened to
the public. II is hoped and ex.
pected that Congress will next

of the museum, thus completing
the first notable memorial at
public expense to Mr.. Lincoln

persuaded to run for congress
on the Democratic ticket in his
district by the omaho Bee,
and though the district was
largely Republican. by the force
Of his oratory and personal in,

elected to congress, where his
speech on the motion to repeal
the Sherman law, without a
substitute for the continued
coinage Of silver, at once gave
him a national reputation as q
man Of brains-of honesty, and
strong convictions Such is oui

tysburg lot was decorated with laurel
wreath, except in some instances, where
relatives and friends added flowers to
these. Around the graves of the soldiers
there was a detachment froR the Chat
ham Artillery under Corpl Shellman, and
a detachment from the First regiment,
under Lieut. Gaudry, on guard duty dur
ing the afternoon. This was practically
a new feature, or, rather, one that has
been resumed after several Memorial days
without it,
The Gettysburg monument was prettily
decorated with festoons of moss, ever
greens and flowers. The usual handsome
decorations appeared upon the graves of
the Branch brothers. In the center of a
profuson OF handsome flowers and ever
greens beautifully arranged there were
two confederate flags, the stars and bars
made in white and red carnations. The
Barlow monument was handsomely dec
Grated. was also the grave of Lieut..
Thomas Purse, who was killed at the
first battle of Manassas. Altogether the
decorations were very handsome and were
better than have been seen in some years.
At the base of the monument over Lieut..
Purses grave was a bank of moss, on
which lay the confederate battle flag, com
posed of red roses and blue Violets, with
stars formed of white roses. Above the
flag was handsome wreath ana cross
of white immortelles. At either side was
wreath and an anchor.
Memorial services were, held. Sunday at
Isle of Hope over the graves Of the con-
federate dead, whose remains rest in the
church yard at that place. Sixty-ive sol
diers belonging to troops doing duty on
Skidaway leland and Isle of Hope, who
died during the war, rest in the little lot
in the rear Of the church. On Saturday the
children of the Sunday school gathered
flowers and made wreaths with which to
decorate the graves and, after services
on Sunday, the children and the congre-
cation repaired 10 the sacred spot.
DR.. o. G.. Mingledorff offered prayer
and delivered a brief address, and the chill
dren, under the leadership of Mr.. p. M.
Dugan, sung Nearer My God To Thee"
and Rocks Of Ages" The children, with
Dugan and others then laid their tributes
to the brave on the graves. A prayer by
DIR. Mingledorff closed the solemn cere-
monies.
