OF ANCIENT ORIGIN.
Decorating the Graves of Soldiers Was
Pracficed Ages Ago.

e n HE custom of placing flowers on the
graves of soldiers is of very great an
W-G tiquity. One ancient writer men
tons the fact that on the birthday of Alex
andcr the Great certain Greeks in Alexan-
dria were accustomed to visit his mauso.
leum and place flowers on the threshold.
The custom OF planting flowers on graves
is OF an antiquity almost as great, and has
been practiced in all parts of Europe for
many centuries. The practice being once
established, local application of it in par
tcuar cases was easy and natural. During
the civil war in this country the women
of both north and south instituted GUS
tom of going regularly on certain day,
generally about the lst of May, to the Gem
eteries with bouquets for the graves of the
soldiers who had been killed in battle. The
intense devotion of the southern women
to the lost cause led them to continue this
practice after the war had been ended,
and little by little it became universal in
this country. In 1869 Gen. John A. Logan,
then commander in chief of the Grand Army
of the Republic, announced May 30 as the
day on which the graves of soldiers should
be decorated There is, however, a con.
troversy about the fact of the custom origi-
mating in a particular locality, some claiming
that it sprang up spontaneously in almost
every section of the country at once, and,
considering the universality OF .he prac-
tice of planting flowers on graves, there
is no reason to believe that the custom,
as claimed by some, originated in or was
peculiar to the south, even during the early
lays of the war

might be necessary for the Governor to
call an extra session TO repeal the Har-

at would be useless to call an extra
session OF the Legislature to repeal the
vicious insurance laws, unless a major
ity of each branch would sign a cast
iron agreement to vote the right way.
This Is a matter that should receive
serious attention before any steps are
taken looking to an extra session.

COMPLICATIONS.

The humor Of the twentieth session
Of the Nevada Legislature seems des-
tined to live after 1t. The State Con-
%troller, Mr.. Davis, is also Insurance
Commissioner for the State, and he
informs the News that trouble is
brewing. 1t seems that each com
pany is required to put up 500 a year
license to do business In this State
and they pay 1t in advance. There
are about forty-flve of them, and they
have all paid their money. Now the
companies are inquiring about their
money. They want 1t back. They
paid It under an existing law. The
contract was broken by the State, and
Nevada will have to put up a round
81 500. No one has the authority to
return this money and so the COM
panies will probably commence suit
for 1t. That they will win cannot be
doubted, but the State will have some
more expense to meet, besides being
