The Star of May So 1868. and found the fol-
lowing account Of the exercises:
THE decoration of the Union soldiers graves
at Arlington Cemetery, over the Long Bridge,
took place today at o'clock and was a very
impressive affair. Yesterday afternoon and
this morning, the committee were busily en-
gagged in receiving and arranging flowers and
evergreens at the Foundry M E. Church, cor

contributed by ladies and gentlemen through
out the city and from the public gardens under
Gen. Mickler. the Botanical Garden, under w.

bouquets, wreaths and caskets were beauti-
fully arranged and conveyed to Arlington by

very large.

OF course, the writer does not intend to con-
vey the impression that Gen. Logan originated
the custom Of placing flowers on the graves Of
the worlds noted dead, for that would not be
true. In all ages men have come with flowers
and song and praise to mark the graves and
honor the names of their deceased heroes.
But Logan, by his order Of May 5, 1865 to the
Grand Army Of the Republic, did begin q Gus

The men and women who want

That is why odd jobs are
