flower PARTIES FOR
CHILDREN IN ORDER
DANES Offer Amusement for
Little People-Many Suit
able Prizes.

For a birthday or any other Juvenile
merrymaking these early spring days
nothing could be prettier than the idea
of flowers.
Unless the weather should prove I'M
eXpeCtedly forbidding, the headquarters
tor such jollification will probably be
the porch instead OF the parlor, and
very charming indeed 1t can look.
For the roof of the porch there will
De garlands of tissue paper flowers, as
these win not wither in the sun. Pink
or yellow paper lanterns should be
added, and below, the corners will be
banked with wild flowers and ferns ar
ranged in buckets and pans, the recep-
tacIes concealed with vines and green
cry
The chairs will be twtned with the
artificial garlands, and there will be q
charming little bouquet of flowers,
either wild or of the garden variety
Proposing on a bed OF moss to keep
fresh) for each member Of the expect
ed party.
The children can be asked to come
dressed as flowers If so desired, and
afterward the blossoms which are rep
resented in the different costumes can
be guessed for a prize.
The program can be made up of the
following games, using all or some, ac
cording to the length of the frolic:
The names of different flowers are
written on slips of paper, which are
then folded and collected in q basket.
Little paper tablets, with covers deco
rated with designs of flowers, are
passed around with pencils. and each
player draws slip. He or she, after
the signal Is given. must draw a picture
Of the flower named on tho slip, the
subjects of all the drawings to be after
ward guessed by the children, with @
prize for the best guess.
Again, secure a dozen picture postals
OF the series having different kinds of
flowers on them. Clip these cards into
little pieces of irregular shape--after
the manner of a jigsaw puzzie--tumble
the pieces, heap them in the center of a
table and gather around 1t. The object
Is to see who can, in Is minutes, form a
completed postcard from the jumbled
pieces. Each child Is allowed TO hold
certain number of clips at one time,
returning those which do not seem to
fit into his picture to the pile. The
person who completes most in the
given time wins the prize, or IL several
ARE equally successful they can draw.
All kinds OF pretty things are avail
able as prizes for flower frolic. They
come at prices which can suit every
purse. For example, there are very in
expensive but very pretty baskets
which can be trimmed with tissue pa
per and ribbon and filled with flowers
A little more expensive, but still not
sxtravagant, are the enameled stick
pins with heads in the shape Of flow
ers. A little girls prize might be O.
violet sachet, and either boys or girls
would revel in a little book with verses
about the blossoms.

MARCHING WITH SHERMAN.
Incidents OF the Famous Campaign
Throunh GAnrnIa

Boston Herald: After burning all
buildings that might again be useful to
the enemy Shern1ans army of 1000 men
LETT Atlanta betUre daylight, November Is.
1864.
Much of the country passed through was
fine farming land. Now and then a
swampy place gave slight opposition to
our progress, but our march to within two
or three miles of Savannah was practic-
ally unopposed.
A few stragglers were captured by the
rebel cavalry some OF whom were MUIR
dered A few who were Freemasons were
well treated and soon paroled and allowed
to return to our lines.
At Milledgeville, then the capital OF the
state. we stopped thirty-six hours, my
quarters being the comptroller's office in
the state house, where rs and 50-cent shin
plasters were piled to the ceiling.
During the march we drew half rattons
Of coffee and sugar and, when needed,
hard tack. These, with fresh pork poul-
try, mutton, beef, bacon, hams, sweet po-
tatoes, etc, made our fare the best we
had had in over four years service.
The weather was generally fine and so
mild we could battle all over In the nu-
merous rivers and creeks we crossed.
About the LIST of December l saw ca
mellias, roses, etc, In bloom as with us
in June.
When we came to railroad, we de-
stroyed 1t by piling the ties, dollhouse
fashion. and placing the rails on top. Be-
ing hard pine, the ties burned readily, and
when the rails became red hot they were
twisted by means Of clamps applied to
each end so as to be of no use till they
had paid visit to the rolling mill.
As II is much easier marching at the
head OF a column OF troops each day a
change was made, by which those who
were In the advance one day were in the
rear the next, and while we sometimes
camped long before night the next days
march might not terminate till after mid
night.
During the siege of Savannah the
grub" question became a very serious
one. Those of us who were on the left of
the line Jared best, and yet our entire bill
of fare was rice (then called swamp seed),
with not even salt on It, and IL any one
wishes to know how palatable 1t was let
him try just one meal of It,
OnMDecember Is General Sherman pre-
scented to President Lincoln the city OF
Savannah as a Christmas gift.

MEMORIAL DAY.

Where the flowers in their beauty set the
woodlands all aglow,
And the crystal rivers laughing to the
distant oceans flow,
Where the bees are In the clover and the
sun of summer shines,
And the shadows on the grasses are the
shadows OF the pines
Comes a people forth to duty meath the
banner of the stars,
And the nation weaves a chaplet for the
heroes Of her wars:
For the men who went to battle, for the
tender and the true
Who are sleeping in the sunshine in their
uniforms OF blue.
Where the Shenandoah's music wakes the
echoes of the glen,
And the Mississippi rushes past the busy
haunts of men,
From the shadow of Katahdin, with his
eerte crest of SHOWS
To the land of endless summer, where the
Sacramento flows,
There are camps forever silent, for no
drums within them beat,
And the bugles of the battle blow no
CHARGE and no Retreat
But upon heroic bosoms falls the scented
bloom of May.
And a grateful nation kneeleth on her
own Memorial day.
One can almost hear the music of the
mighty, marching lines
AS they swept in matchless phalanx
meath the cypress and the pines,
But the lannon's rut Is hidden by the lily
and the rose,
And the veterans march together who in
battle met as foes;
A grand, united nation stands beneath
our banner free,
One In purpose, one In glory, from majes-
tie sea to sea;
Fearing none and crowned with splendor,
scars our eagle in the sun,
AS proud as when he scared above the
plume OF Washington.
Gently from the hands of beauty love-in-
vested flowers fall
Not hero's grave is missing. there Is
love enough for all:
Blossoms fair for those who battled
where the British guns grew still.
And a people rose to grandeur from the
slopes of Bunker Hill!
Roses red and white for thousands who
at home and far away,
In the shadow and the sunshine, camp
forever and day:
Let the Southiand's proud palmetto touch
the Northlands gentle pine,
Where the birds are singing sweetiy on
the battles ghostly line.
We've seen the sons of those who met as
foemen on the plain
Beneath the. folds of Freedoms flag their
young blood shed like rain.
Until the wretched wrath OF hate fed
shriektng on the blast,
And Peace looked down upon our land
SllAut SlhllAIEs GdAus AT tGSE
One flag for all Americans. no matter
where they be!
One flag above our heroes graves upon
the land and sea-
And flowers for the brave who sleep
where soft the breezes blow.
And the singing southern rivers, thro' a
land united flow.
The veteran crowns his comrade to thu
music of the drum,
The nation weaveg heroic wreaths and
will for years to come:
In the cycles still before as. In the CEN
turtles to be
The rose will fall upon the brave who
rest twixt sea and sea;
And Columbia, fairer, greater, as she
mounts the heights Of fame,
VIII carve on her respondent shield with
pride each hero's name;
And the tide that rushes outward to the
countries far away
VIII tell the beauteous story Of our land %

Worse in Former Days.

Some people, stirred by the news
of legislative corruption and vote
buying In different parts Of the coun-
try, have jumped .5to the conclusion
that politics are rotten all through,
that an honest legislator is as' rare
as a white blackbird, that every vol
or has his price, and that conditions
are very much worse than they were
in former days.
They are mistaken. That is an
old idea, as old as the days Of King
Solomon, at least, that somewhere
way back the conditions Of life, and
especially of. political life were bet
ter than at this present time. But
anyone who takes the trouble to
read the former political history Of
our country will discover that COT
ruption Of all kinds was worse than
1t Is now.
One or two things serve to make
people gather wrong Impressions OF
present political corruption. One Is
that we are always most affected by
that which is immediate; another Is
the fact that there Is d general ten
dency to forget the disagreeahle
things of the past and remember
only that which is pleasant, and the
third, and perhaps the strongest
reason, is in the enlightened con-
science and higher moral standard
of people which makes them intol-
Grant of political and other corrup-
ton which in times passed would
have been condoned or CLOSED over.
People now will not stand for these
things and though the exposing OF
political plague spots may be un-
pleasant it will result in the puEif-
cation Of politics and the end OF the
rule OF corrupt bosses and ward heel
