There has been good deal OF correspondence
and argument in the papers of late about the
modern novel, and The Academy has gone so
far as TO hold pltbscite in order TO discover
which are the most popular novels recently pub

and so may be supposed to have found most
favor in the eyes of the public, we are not spc-
cially concerned. but the general result is
Iameutable 1t brings before US what we would
gladly have forgotten-the appalling dearth Of

With the exception of Mr.. Meredith and Mr.

Representative Gardner Of Michigan
EulogiZes the Army.

The services at the Soldiers Home were
impressive in the extreme. The cemetery
lying on the great elevation north of the
city, from parts of which the historic struc-
lures of the capital are plainly visible,
never looked more beautiful. Everywhere
was spread the green pail of nature never
more beautiful The crowds that came to
do honor to the dead seemed to justify the
statement Of Comrade Kimball that never
before had the day been so generally OBJ
served throughout the land.
Great baskets of flowers were plucked
from garden and field and taken to the
graves consecrated to liberty, and their
contents were strewn on the thousands OF
mounds There was an abundance of bloom,
SO that no grave was without its loving re.
membrance, laid there by men, women and
children. The scene at the graves was
frequently pathetic. Grandchildren and
greatgandchildren of veterans who have
passed away were chosen In part to place
flowers on the graves and the little ones
went to their labor of love with evident
appreciation of the meaning of that task.
Every grave had placed at its head min
iature flag. The tomb of General Logan,
as usual was visited by the thousands
who attended the ceremony. Prominent
among the floral tributes laid on the tomb
was a design representing the American
flag in immortelles, sent by the Illinois AS
