DATE A MEMORABLE ONE.
Events of Importance in Country's
History Happening on the Thir-
ieth of May.

The thirtieth day of May, which the
have known as Decoration day" ever
since Gen. Logan's order in 1868 Of
ficially set il aside for the observance
of reminiscent patriotism, figures vari-
ously in the chronologies of peace and
war. To that passing generation
which lived through the horrors and
sufferings of titanic civil strife the
date is eloquent as fortunately il
cannot be TO any others, but TO all
good Americans ii will ever stand as
peaceful monument to the juster
ending of the great debate" while
all that world which busies itself with
the records of past history will fit
tingly place the Decoration day Of "the
states" first Of the ten events of inn
portance which have fallen on the
penultimate of the fifth month.
Three of these nine happenings,
other than Memorial day, are closely
connected with the war between the
northern states and the southern. 1t
was on May 80, 1850, that there was
born boy soon to be christened Fred
erick Dent Grant, and who was to
grow up TO the command of those
same armies which his then unknown
father was to lead to final victory in
the greatest Of all civil wars-to grow
up, moreover, so like the world-famous
father in every feature and movement
as 10 cause many a veteran of the
COS TO turn and look after him in the
streets with strange and sudden
beating at the heart.
Twelve years later than this 0S62) 3.
il was on May 80, that the confederate
forces evacuated Corinth, down near
the Tennessee line in Mississippi
while the same date in 1854 had seen
the signature of Franklin Pierce at
tached to that famous Kansas Ne
braska bill which played no incon-
siderable part in bringing on an armed
arbitrament of the slavery question.
That stroke of the chief executives
pen organized as territories the states
which are now known as Kansas and
Nebraska, the latter to join the union
in January of 1861 as a slave state.
but Kansas not until 1867. when the
portentous question which had
drenched her fields with blood in the
middle SOS had been settled beyond
all further disputing. Far from least
among the past events recalled by
Memorial day is the signing of that
bill-it marked the repeal of the Mis-
souri, compromise, it marked the tri-
umph of that strong but scheming
leader Stephen A. Douglas over such
patriots as Sumner and Chase and
Wade and Seward; ii made of squat
ter sovereignty" a bitter fact, encour-
aging those worse elements which
brought war into the land.

SILENT RELICS OF HEROES
Knapsacks Of Fallen Soldiers That
Spoke Eloquently of Devotion
to Holy Cause.

The following letter, written several
years after the close of the civil war
by one who speaks whereof he saw,
and which | am permitted TO quote,
is eloquent in heart feeling and
graphic portrayal:
Il have just seen a pile of KNAPP
sacks and haversacks left by the boys
who went TO the front and never came
Jack The eloquence of these worm
eaten and nodded bags cannot be writ
ten.
Here was a piece Of stony bread
uneaten, the little paper of coffee and
the smoked tin cup in which it had
been boiled so often over the hasty
fire on the eve of battle. There was
the letter, sealed directed and never
sent. Here a letter half written, com
mencing: Dear Wife: How | want
to see you and another beginning,
Dear Mother: My time is nearly
out The rusty pen, just as 1t was
laid down on the half-tilled sheet by
the gallant and loving hand Of the
writer who had hoped so soon to fin
ish it, here tinted with red, white
and blue. Here were photographs OF
the favorite generals and of the dear
ones at home. Here were letters Of
heart-breaking love, and loyalty to
duty, and holy faith and cheer, writ
ten at home, and here was a Tesla
ment, soiled and worn, which, judg
ing from a pelciling on a fyleaf, was
given him by the woman he loved
best
Eyes, here were these mementoes
of the brave, living, loving life gone
out. They never came back The
mourners at home do not all know
where they fell, or where they were
buried. To one unfamiliar with the
soldiers life these relics might mean
little. To me they mean all love, all
suffering, all heroism. l look on them
and again | seem TO see the long lines
OF marching men file past, dust COW
cred and warm, on their way to the
front. | see the roads Of Virginia
simmering in the white heat, lined
with exhausted men lying down to
sleep and TO die after the last defeat
! hear the cry of the wounded, the
moan of the dying, see the half-filled
grave, the unburied dead. All the aw.

WHO HAS ARMY ENVELOPES?
Few of These Reminders of the Civil
War Are to Be Found
To-Day.

1t would be interesting to know just
how many varieties of illustrated sol
diers envelopes were printed in the
course of the four-year war 1t is
said there were several thousands of
them. Every loyal state was prolific
of local as well as general suggestive
ideas for pictorial and typographical
expression, and the opportunity was
we'll improved by manufacturers of
and dealers in stationery. Unlike the
war.songs of Root and other com
posers, this Union envelope" fad had
an ephemeral existence.
In Grand Army halls and at Grand
Army campfires, and the stage enact
ment of civil war dramas, almost
everything else is seen in the line Of
reminders of the days of '61-5-mus-
kets, swords, belts, knapsacks, haver
sacks. canteens, tin dippers, belts,
flags, etc.-but the army envelope is
not in evidence. And yet, even at this
late day, there is, ii is safe to opine,
many a carefully treasured specimen
of the oblong, illustrated and inscribed
Enclosure of the soldier boys letter
from the scene of suffering, of strife
and carnage, which, IL it could speak,
might tell story of sentimental and
thrilling interest-one of the tens of
thousands of unwritten romances of
an heroic age that has no peer in the
annals Of the camp and field of ia
nous military campaigns In the old
or the new world.
