Wartime Grief.

For a long time there was a rigid
rule against erecting any but Federal
monuments in Federal battlefield
cemeteries and Confederate monu-
ments in Confederate cemeteries. But
as time passed and the bitterness
healed slabs were placed here and
there denoting that one-time enemy
slept among the others. When Me-

In one of the southern cemeteries
where a northern soldier rests there
was for long time a practice of dec
Grating every Confederate grave with
a tiny Confederate fiag-the Stars and
Bars. AS the survivors and the wild
ows and orphans of the Confederate
dead came spring after spring to
strew their flowers and plant their
flags they halted at the Yankee sol
dier's grave for a second with bitter
thoughts Finally. as time passed and
their grief lessened, they placed flow
ers on their foeman's grave also.
In 1872, as young widow of one of
the dead Confederates went with her
little daughter to decorate the graves,
the girl noticed that no Confederate
flag had been placed on the northern
soldiers mound. So she placed one
there. The chairman of the Memorial
committee, passing by, removed 1t.
The little girl burst into tears and

for the victory at Corinth. The result
Of this victory was the establishment
of the power of the Union in the West.
One week later Memphis fell, as it
were, by its own weight. This gave
the Union forces control of the Missis-
sippi, the only important stronghold
in the Mississippi valley that re-
manned secure to the Confederates.
While the people in the North on
this thirtieth of May were rejoicing
over the victory of their soldiers at
Corinth and over the results which
they felt would inevitably follow, what
about the people in the South? Nearly
year had now passed since the vic
tory Of the Confederate soldiers at
the battle of Bull Run. When the news
of this victory had come to the south
ern people many Of them thought the
war was over. So general was this
impression that many of the southern
soldiers had gone back to their
homes, thinking that there would be
no further need of their services.
The evacuation of Corinth cast a
gloom over the whole South, but there
still remained with the southern peo-
pie an implicit confidence in the army
of northern Virginia, which was, on
that day, holding it's own in defense OF
Richmond.

obedience to what they thought was
their duty. The contest was one OF

The matter being settled, they were
ready to return to their accustomed
occupations.
The readiness with which the Union
and Confederate soldiers now unite in
observing Memorial day also puzzles
foreigners. They think that it is a
mere matter of expediency which was
brought about in 1898, when some of
the old Union and Confederate SOL
diers marched side by side under the
Stars and Stripes. But such is not
the case. The Blue and the Gray had
been united in the observance of Me-
mortal day before the war with
Spain.
Memorial day, as it is now fol mally
observed as a legal holiday in a ma
jority of the states, was inaugurated
in 1868. Gen. John B. Logan, who vas
at that time commandments of the
Grand Army of the Republic, issued an
order to all surviving Union soldiers
to meet May 80 of that year, at the
cemeteries near their respective
posts, and to decorate the graves of
their fallen comrades. But the cere-
mony, in an informal way, had been
observed since the spring of 1865 in
the South, where the custom original

THE thirtieth Of May in 1862 was
made memorable in Civil war his
tory by the evacuation of Corinth,
Miss. The seizure of this Confederate
stronghold by the Union armies was
an event which, estimated by its re-
suits, may be regarded as the first i'm
portant event of the war. Since the
first of May Halleck had been trying
to gain possession of this stronghold,
which, at that time, was held by Beau
regard. In the meantime Old Farm
ington, the strongly fortified outpost
of the Confederacy, about four miles
from Corinth, had been given up; Mar
maduke, who had been in command
there, had retired to Corinth to re-
enforce Beauregard. The Union
forces had taken possession of Old
Pennington, had cut off Beauregard's
railroad connections to the north and
east and had, by the twenty-ninth of
May, succeeded in working their way
to position near the Confederate
Notifications at Corinth, from which
an assault could be made.
1t was Halleck's intention to make
an assault on the following morning,
and he was expecting to meet with
strong resistance. But Halleck's ex-
pectations were not realized. All night
long the pickets and sentinels heard a
continuous roar of moving cars in
Corinth. At early dawn Halleck sent
out skirmishers. but no foe appeared
to oppose them. He then ordered
Sherman to advance with his troops
toward the Confederate Notifications
and to feel the enemy" But no en-
envy could be found. Where was he?
Out near Old Pennington there still
stands a tall tree which today is
pointed out to sightseers who visit
Corinth as Lookout Tree" From the
top of this tree the Union spies, at the
time of the siege, with field glass,
used to observe the movements of the
Confederate troops.
The morning of the thirtieth Of May,
1862, these spies saw only the rear OF
Beauregard's army far to the south OF
Corinth fleeing down the Mobile rail.

Another stronghold of the rebels

This tells the story. Soon after the
thirtieth of May of the preceding year
the battle OF Bull Run had given the
Confederates strong footing in the
