Today in
Washington History

May %, 1865.-Wa. worn veterans,
led by the generals who have become ia
nous in the last four years of war,
marched along Pennsylvania avenue and
passed in front of the White House to
day as President johnson and Lieut..
Gen. Grant reviewed the Army of the
Potomac, fresh from the victorious bat
ties that have brought the War Between
the States to an end.
Ali day the Grand Army" marched
between cheering crowds. Tomorrow.
Gen. Sherman's Army will be reviewed
in similar manner.
On Pennsylvania avenue, in front OF
the Presidents House, four stands had
been erected. The main pavilion on the
south side, which was occupied by Presi-
dent Johnson, Lieut.. Gen. Grant, menu
bers of the cabinet, heads of the civil
and military departments and members
of the diplomatic corps, was beautifully
festooned with American and battle
flags and decorated with flowers and
evergreens.
Immediately over the center Of the
pavilion and at each end were large
stars formed of flowers and evergreens,
while the following names OF battles IN
which many of the marching soldiers
had fought, were conspicuously display
ed from the top of the pavilion: Gettys-
burg, Donelson, Bentonsville, Petersburg,
Richmond, Vicksburg, Shiloh. South
Mountain, South River and Wilderness.
At this point martial music was fur
nished by the band of the 18th New
York Regiment, stationed IN the main
stand On the north side of the street,
directly opposite, was another stand in
which the band of the 14th Regiment
of. the Veteran Reserve Corps played.
The seats in this stand were occupied by
governors of States, Senators and Rep
resentatives, Federal judges and their
families.
THE other two stands were east and
west of the main pavilion and were oc-
cupied by wounded soldiers, Army and
Navy officers not in the procession,
members of the press and invited guests.
The head of the Cavalry Corps and Of
the entire procession moved down Capt.
tol Hill precisely at o'clock this morn
ing. Gen. Meade, commander OF the
Army of the Potomac rode q few PAGES
in advance of his staff The long COL
umn of the Army moved by companies,
closed in mass, with shortened intervals
between regiments, brigades and divi-
sions.
After passing the reviewing stand,
Gen. Meade returned and took seat
in the main pavilion, while his staff
formed on the adjacent streets.
There was great thrill when Gen.
Custer, with a wreath hanging from his
arm and his long hair waving In the
wind, dashed madly past the main pa
vilion on fine stallion. which he vainly
tried to check. He was greeted with pro-
longed cheers. Finally he succeeded in
checking his steed and rode back to the
head Of his Cavalry division.

SPRINCTIME.

. OF the bobolink. says Nuttall, that

Ing on the wing, at a small height
above the field, as he passes along from
one treetop or weed to another, he ut

variable notes, so confused, rapid and
continuous, that it appears almost like
the blending song of several different
birds-delivered with such rapidity
that the ear can scarcely separate
them"
In all of nature there Is no song so
tocund as the bobolink's. He sings a
musical phrase; he holds a note as
though it were the final one and then
suddenly. to our utter rapture, he goes
on into another melody. Frequently he
weaves right back into the first again,
and so he can keep it UP for minutes
at time. The most tone-deaf listen
er Is obliged to exclaim, "Oh. what q
merry bird that isl" In addition to
this, the. male generally sits in plain
sight, swaying in the May wind on the
stalk of bending meadow flower, and
his plumage of gold and black is as
smart and brilliant as his music.
Although the courting song poured
out by the bobolink Is the most Sc
ductive music on the airs of Spring, the
bobolink is not, If ! remember rightly.

that congregate in great masses, Inonog-

Of the red-winged blackbirds.
The bobolinks have so far to 60 be-

Everyday Psychology
Failure.

The familiar saying that "nothins
succeeds like success" puts q big em-
phasis on success and Q corresponding
want Of emphasis on failure. From the
sociological point Of view, at least, fall
ure is more important than success.
IT'S the failures every time who create
the annoyances, II not the burdens,
which success must tolerate and bear.
Why do men sometimes get nowhere? {?
Why do they fail?
Psychology scans the human situa-
ton and says that many failures get
nowhere simply because they see things
only IN the present. They are not able
to visualize the future. This means
that they get nowhere because they
have nowhere to 90. They are merely
playing around with the here and now,
letting each day take care Of itself. So
effort has no chance to accumulate its
own reward.
There are, Of course, those who fail
for another reason. These are thew
who attach too much Significance to
small things. Timidity Is the result.
and effort Is blocked even before 1t gets
going.
Then there are those who fail because
they have too many connections with
the past, too many visions Of successful
ancestors. Nothing will put the brakes
on effort more surely than a flock of
images about ones noble ancestors.
Genealogy has made many bankrupts.
Perpetuated success Is failure.

The bad Loser.

The children were playing parcheesi.
Buddy, the youngest OF four. was bent
upon winning. He shook his dice box
with tremendous vigor. He whacked
his men on the board. He held his
breath while the others shook and
moved and made bridges and sent men
home.
He had one man within q space OF
safety on the last home stretch. Sister
Helen counted her spaces carefully.
Should she move this man or this2
Would 1t be better to make bridge or
carry one man as far as possible? All!
Here was Buddy. Home he goes.
That gives me an extra 40 and my man
home. Hurrah."
Buddy gasped. He grew red in the
face. He clenched his fists. With q
wild howl he smote the parcheesi board,
sending the boxes and men in different
directions and threw himself headlong
into the sofa pillows.
The children were inclined 10 be
severe with him. Then they thought
hooting him might be the better plan.
