Decoration Day. Although it has been customary to strew flowers on the graves of our beloved departed, yet it is the American people, the people of our own country, who first set aside a day for the particular purpose of decorating the graves of those boys in blue, who died on the field of battle, or those who died in the loathesome prisons, or who died of wounds received in battle. Not only the graves of those of our comrades who are buried in southern soil, but also the graves of those fallen comrades who sleep in our own cemeteries are every year deecrated with flowers and flags. This, is, so to speak, an outcome of the great conflict between the North and South in 1861 to 1865. The first celebration of this kind was at the South, on Confederate soil, and was done by a northern man, a teacher from Massachusetts, at that time teaching a colored school in \ irginia. He had carried a musket during the whole time of war and after the war he was one of the first to tender his service to educate the colored race. He was made .superintendent of the Richmond schools for the colored youth and was assisted by six teachers, also from Boston. At that time Richmond was a living tomb, full of desolation, sickness and wgnt; the ravages of war were everywhere to be seen. The Yankee schoolmasters were of course hated by the citizens of Richmond and were entirely left to themselves. None of the people would associate with them. To while their time, these teachers would take outings to different places of the neighborhood, often visiting places like Belle Isle in the James River (at one time used as a prison). Os the sufferings of the prisoners of war kept on this island, there was no written record, but the rows of the graves of the boys in blue showed how many of them had succumbed to want and starvation. These teachers often studied the names on the headstones of the graves. Professor Washburn, the teacher spoken of above, one day proposed to his fellow-teachers to set apart a certain day for the decoration of these graves; this proposition was approved of by his fellow teachers and the 30th day of May was chosen as decoration day, All scholars were asked to bring flowers on the day before. On May 29th in the evening the teachers met at Prof. Washburn’s home and wove these flowers into wreaths, made them into boquets. Mrs. Washburn made a large cross of the most beautiful flowers. On the morning of the 30th of May a warm rain was falling, but the rain did not dampen the ardent patriotism of the little band of eight persons. At the head of this little band of patriots, F. P. May, mayor of Richmond, was marching, carrying the cross of flowers to Belle Isle. There was no bridge, so they crossed over in a flat boat. Having arrived at the grounds, they fastened a garland of flowers to the headboard of each grave, tens being done they met again at the cross and Miss Gibson, a nurse during the war, began singing a hymn in which all joined. While they were singing the sun broke through the clouds and a ray of sunlight fell on the cross; involuntarily the little Land knelt down to pray. This closed the exercises of the first Decoration Day. Miy 30th. 1865. The year following the Confederate ladies decora ted the graves of the Confederate soldiers in Hollywood cemetery. They e.-Jed the day “Memorial Day,’’ a name still use! in the South for “Decoration Day.” On this same day ti e graves of soldiers in North Carolina and other Southern States were decorated. Not only the graves of the Confederate soldiers, but many of me graves of Northern soldiers also, if these graves were close to the Confederate graves.

"Decoration Day” was not genera'Zy observed until 1868, when the Grand Army of the Republic, through their commander in-chief, John A. Rogan, issued an order setting apart May 30th as a day “for strewing flowers on the graves of those who died in defending the Union.” The day was observed in almost all of the Northern States; not only this, but in the South the day was also observed. In Virginia at Arlington, Yorktown and Culpepper, in North Carolina at Wilmington, Raleigh and Newltern. in South Carolina at Charleston, in Kentucky at Louisville, Frankfort, Lexington, Cattlettsburg and Newport, at New Orleans, Baltimore and a great many other places. In 1868 all Northern States made May 30th a legal holiday. Let its hope it may remain so. About 50,000 of the boys in blue have passed over the line, and many go every year, and o.ir ranks are getting thinner and thinner every day, but our children and children’s children wjll see to it that May 30th will be

I kept apart as Decoration Day. They will see to it that flowers are strewn on the graves of their hero ancestors. Our departed comrades are buried in over eighty national cemeteries. The largest of these is at Vicksburg, Miss., where 16,000 headstones mark that many resting places for the boys in blue. This cemetery contains for-ty-seven acres, and our government has spent thousands of dollars to ' beautify it. One superintendent and ten to fifteen men are at work there I the whole year round. A monument I is erected at the place where Grant ’ and Pemberton agreed on terms of ’ capitulation of the garrison. In this city of the dead the graves of 12.100 are only numbered because the names of those buried there are not known. Chalmette. New Orleans, has 12.521 I graves, of these 5,676 are unknown. This ground contains 121 acres of i ground, it is partly situated on the battle field of 1812 1814, when Jackson drove Paekenham from New Orleans. The total number of the boys in blue buried in National cemeteries is 308,331. Os these 152,117 are known as white soldier's graves and 119,495 unknown; 13,005 known and 20,505 unknown colored. There are also 21,661 graves of Confederates in the same cemeteries. Letter From an Adams County Boy at Tampa, Headquarters U. S. Army, Tampa. Fla., May 20. 1898. Editor Democat: I shall try to illustrate what camp life in Tampa is, which of course is very sensational at times. We are down here with the sun coming down at an angle of 90 degrees into the sand where there has j been no rain for the past six months, i sleeping out at night in the dirt and | dust and no place to cool off, even j after night. I have been in this camp just one month and the thermometer stands at 100 degrees most all of the time. There are about 1500 soldiers at this camp, and we have some nice I drills every morning, generally regiI mental or brigade drills. A Brigade consists of three or four regiments or 2000 soldiers, and generally keep us out from two to five hours in the hot sun. among the aligators, tarantulas, centepedes,scorpions, rattlesnakes and other insects, reptiles and animals to numerous to mention, but of course while I am telling you the worst part I will have to tell you the better part which is composed of hunting, fishing, gambling and other sports. Besides we had a tabernacle built in the camp a short time ago. built principally by the Y. M. C. A., and they furnish us with a fine library while we are here, stationery, books and papers, so a soldier in Tampa need not get lone- | some, especially for something to read. We don’t expect to stay here very long, we don’t know where we will have to go, we may go to Cuba or to the Philipines. I expect when once we leave here we will not have any church or library but think that I when we go to an enemy’s country ’ that the people of Decatur will symI pathize with us. There are supposed ’to lie 27,000 people in Tampa and Ybor City together and when about 5000 or LOGO soldiers go over into the city you can guess there is a hot old time in Tampa and Ybor City. Yours respectfully, John McCollough. Another pioneer has passed away and again we are called upon to chronicle the death of one of Adams county’s aged mothers. Mrs. Samuel Dutcher died at her home near Monmouth on Wednesday of last week. Interment took place last Friday: Catherine Dudelson was born, Fairffeld county, Ohio, September 21st 1811, departed this life May 18, 1898, aged 86 years, 7 months and 27 days. She was married to Samuel Dutcher, April 24th, 1832* to this union there were twelve children born, seven sons and five daughters. Two sons died in infancy, twosons after manhood, one in war. Eight children survive the mother, five daughtsrs and three sons, with fifty-three grand children and eighty-two great grandchildren. She was a memberof the M. E. church from her girlhood,until Feb. 1869, when she was received into the Concord Luthem Congregation by Rev. Father Exline, where she retained her membership until death. She with her husband came from Ohio to this state Sept. 1849, thus giving her residence in about the same community for forty-nine years. She was the wife of her now aged husband sixty-six years and twentyfour days. She was an attentive wife and a devouted mother. There is a statute in Kansas which wa i probably framed for the Ixmefit of the Mennonites, providing that if a man makes affidavit with the county clerk before May Ist of any year to the effect that his religion forbids an j enlistment for war. he can not be ’ drafted.

r THE HOUSEHOLD. A. Good Way and a Pretty Way to Make Tea — Unique and Attractive Pillow—An Aquarium at Home. “Without question the great secret of making a palatable cup of tea lies in getting a right start,” says a writer in Good Housekeeping, who then proceeds to define a good start and to furnish much interesting information about “a drawing of tea.” In it occurs the following: The first important element in this case is boiling water —not water which is merely warm or cold water which may after due effort be brought to tbo boiling point, but that which is already briskly bubbling. It might be claimed that the selection cf a proper brand of tea was an earlier essential than that of the boiling water, but it is a fact that rightly treated tea leaves of even an inferior quality yield a beverage inestimably superior to that of much more pre tentious grades spoiled in the treatment. A good measuro for making tea is to allow a teaspoonful of the leaves for each cup and one for the pot. The pot used should be no larger than is reqnir ed for the amount of tea to be made. This small pot should be well rinsed and scalded, the tea leaves should be put in at once, while the pot is still steaming, and the whole should be set for a minute upon the stove or range until thoroughly heated. Then the boiling water should be poured over, and the pot be set back to gradually cool while the infusion takes place. The tea is then ready to serve, and while it should be distinctively hot and net merely warm no one wishes to even sip a liquid which remains at the boiling point. This matter of comparative heat is a very important one in the matter of tea making and tea drinking. Another and very pretty way of making tea is to dispense with the teapot altogether, shocking as the suggestion might have seemed to our grandmothers. In this process have the cups warm, and into each put a teaspoonful of medium quality tea. (It will be understood in all cases that if the tea is cf extra quality and very flue, closely rolled make, a little less should be used, and where the leaves are large and coarse, so tbut they lie loosely, a little more in bulk will give the right degree of strength.) Fill the cup nearly to the brim with boiling water, and as soon as it has cooled sufficiently to sip the decoction will be at its best. An Aquarium at Home. An aquarium in the bouse is becoming popular among fashionable people. Especially is it in favor in homes where there are children or invalids, as it not only gives object lessons in natural history, but serves to amuse and please. Aquariums are sold by the bird dealers and may be beautifully stocked with the goldfish, the pretty Japanese one, the minnow, perch, sucker, shiner and carp, all of whom thrive well together. Newts are very interesting, too, as there comes a time when they shed their skin and swallow it and surprise the little ones by losing a leg and having another grow in its place in a short time. Plants must be secured, of course, as they furnish the osygen for the life of the little water dwellers and are in turn nourished by the carbonic gas which the animals supply. The snail should not be forgotten, as it is a part of the economy of nature, and performs the scavenger’s part vety well in eating off the diseased portion of the plants. Starwort, milfoil, oxheart, sweet flag and brook mosses are the plants best suited to a fresh water aquarium.—New York Tribune Unique and Attractive Pillow. Sofa pillows this season are perhaps more varied in cotton materials than ever before. There are endless varieties in linen, denim, duck and the like, as is told by The Decorator and Furnisher, which illustrates and describes an exceedingly pretty affair for a lounge or couch made by a combination of denim and white duck. Make the outside cover [ SfcSsKj. !• ■ t'f j; . UF'/ EMBROIDERED SOFA PILLOW. of a pretty shade of light blue denim, the kind which is fine in quality. For a center decoration let there be an ample round or circle of white duck, stitched very smoothly on the blue surface. To bide well the outside edge that has been stitched work a flowering design of flags in pure white. All embroidery of this kind should be perfectly done, its success lying in the carefulness and precision of the entire plan, the back of the pillow being being simply of blue cotton material used for the main scheme.
