Perhaps the Last Muster.
Six great military organizations are
to meet in Washington on this memoir
able occasion, which probably will be
the last on which the survivors of those
who made fame for themselves in the
great civil conflict will muster in num-
bers at the Nations Capital The bod
les 10 assemb Die mere are the Society OF
the Army OF the Potomac. Society of
the Army Of the Ohio, Society of the
Army OF the Cumberland Society of the
Army OF the Tennessee, Medal OF Honor
Legion. and Aztec Club. Each of these
societies holds its meeting here next
month, and thus at one time Will be
gathered here the representatives CT
the great host that fought for four
years to keep the Union intact.
The War Department intends 10 bring
here all the troops that can possibly be
spared. and the Grand Army OF the Re
public Will be invited TO take part in
the pageant that will march along
Pennsylvania Avenue and will rival IN
historic significance the march of the
victorious returning hosts that swept
along that thoroughfare in the great
review of 1860
