Confederate Decoration Day.
To the Editor of The Star,

~ TIC H'uitof Oh Inc Star!
Yesterday, amid a Sabbath calm In the
sweetest day in June, on the green hills of
Arlington. L was one of many men who
wore the blue to meet and mingle with the
men who wore the gray In the beautiful
ceremonies of strewing flowers o er the pas
sionless and cherished tombs of the con-
federate dead, whose memory is so dear 10
the southern men and women. I have
often met with them there at these sad and
beautiful rites, and always was treated with
the utmost kindness and courtesy by the
men whom l met in battle forty years ago
under other and far different circumstances
IL was lovely day and the ceremony in
tensely interesting and pathetic. listened
ettentively to southern prayer and speech
and the quiet talk around the graves today
and not sound or syllable gave or could
give ofrense to any right-minded wearer
or the blue. Everything was done decently
and In order and with fine regard for all
that men and women call patriotism. Not
a word or look was observed that would
not nave been In keeping with our own
Memorial day. That the orator should
praise the valor and devotion of the Sleep
ing comrades, and that the fair Daughters
OF the Confederacy should strew beautiful
flowers above the graves of the heroes of
the cause which they have always loved
were but such tributes of sorrow, admira-
ton and affection as all the best there is in
humanity could be expected to offer on the
lpulDS VI the Bdlidnl men VINO gave up
their young lives for what seemed to them
holy and just.
l looked across the green acres where
rest the Union dead, and right alongside of
the pale SleeperS in blue respose in like
dreamless sleep the heroes of the gray
quitely, peacefully, in eternal armstice If
they are at peace, why not We? IL the
truce of God is broodng above these grim
warriors of long ago, why may not we the
living, bury the dead past with the dead
and dwell in unity forevermore? The war
is over-over at last and all the bugles of
God are blended with the chorus sung first
by the better angels of nature" which
Lincoln heard coming down through the
storm and thunder of the closing days Of
war. 1t has come at last! Let the next
step be to have one day and date for Deco
ration day; north and south, and ring
down forever the red curtain of sectional
strife. PRIVATE DAIZELI.

ranged for this year. On the cruise the
young men ambitious to become officers in
the revenue cutter service will receive
practical instruction in seamanship as well
as keeping up their academic studies. In
the present first class, who will graduate
next year, are five young men. and the
members of the second class, who become
officers in 1867. if they meet the require
ments of the service, number but ten. The
new third class of cadets will go aboard

passed the examinations required TO admit
them to the school of instruction. Berths
in the revenue cutter service are very de-
sirabe. and there are numerous applica-
lions for cadetships. AS the requirements
are severe, the number that pass the ex-
aminations for admission is but small.

instruction, and he has for his aids Lieut.

Selfish Use of Power.
Continuing. the minister said:

tOutIluIHS, the minister said:
Power used selishly. ruthlessly. in push
Ing the mercenary schemes of individuals
or nations awakens anger, hatred dew
astation; and these feelings only wait the
hour Of opportunity to indulge revenge.
No navy was ever built I venture to saw, to
serve the interests of peace. If they have
sometimes served these interests and ends
they nave more frequently had an opposite
effect. l know that our President SAYS,
and doubtless says with conviction that
II our navy is good enough we have a
long career of peace before u.s. and that
the only likelihood of trouble ever coming
TO US as a nation will arise if we let our
navy become too small or inefficient
A first-class navy he declares is the
surest and cheapest guarantee of peace
and he thinks that any man looking at
what is happening and has happened
abroad and in our own history during the
past two years must, indeed, be blind if he
cannot read that lesson clearly He be-
ieVes we can count on Congress to build
such navy. 1t certainly Will, he says, if
he can persuade it. That is the kind of
above the average. He has convictions. and
the courage to stand by them. and to do
his best to make them operative in our ma
tional life"
In closing DIR. Kent said I'VE cannot
think of armies and navies as permanently
rooted in the nature of man and the needs
of society without suffering the degrading
and demoralizing influence of low ideals
If they are ever to pass away it Is well to
begin to get rid of them now. The nation
that will permanently lead the world is the
nation that righteousness exalts to the
throne OF power, and the righteousness that
thus eXalts VIII not rely on navieS.'
