A Nation's Tribute to Valor. Somebody has said that a Gothic ca- thedral is a petrified religion. On the lines of this quaint apborism It may with equal force and propriety be con- tended that the graves of the Unlon soldier dead tell the story of the most momentous epoch in her history. Re- sponsive to the call of duty and the mandate of patriotism, they had fought and toiled and bled to preserve intact "a new natiou concelved in liberty and

men were created equal," and the dowers that we strew so lavIshly upon their graves are as much an expression of the nation's gratitude as they are a beautiful tribute of personal respect for their memory .- Philadelphia Times.

Antional Cemeteries.

The earliest of the national ceme- terles were established In 1861. From that year to 1805 the number grew to 83, which bas tot heeu exceeded since. A report made In 1874 hy the army In- spector of these places shows that there were then interred 308,331 Union soldiers. In addition, there are 7 242 citizens and 21,6ul Confederate prison- ers of war who share grave space with the patriotic Americans. Of the 308 .- 331 there were 152.117 known and 119,- 406 unknown white dead soldiers: of colored soldiers there were 13,005 kuowu and 20,503 unknown. and 3.209 unknown and unclassified .- Exchange.

A Red Letter Day.

Memorial day, May 30. has become a The red letter day indeed lo the American calendar. More than half the states of the Union have made it by law a legal holiday. By comiuon consent thousands upon thousands of loyal peo- ple of the land look forward to Its ob- servance with a spirit of love. tender- Dess and thankful appreciation which pertalos to none other of the anniver- sarles they delight to celebrate. growing esteem in which it is beld is a constant tribute to the great organiza- thon which lostituted and perpetuates It-the Grand Army of the Republic .- New York Tribune.

Heroes In the Ranks.

The unwritten roster of the brave bears many names of men who never rose above the ranks. All honor to them! Thousands earned a place that history has never offered to them. Brave men there were among the pri- vates who died in battle; brave men among those whose suffering was only that of marching soldiers who never heard the minie bullet's deadly song. Heroes all! The nation may not know their honorable names, the nation may not know their honorable deeds, but it the nation finds their honorable graves those graves will be flower decked. It is well .- Exchange.

"Just at this juncture n scouting party of Uuion troops from one of our gunhoats appeared upon the scene. Among the Dumber 1 was delighted to ser muy boon comrade and tent mate, John Douglas, who greeted me with a warinth and en- thustasm which did not require the evl. dence of tearful cyes to convince me of their caruestness.

"'My dear fellow,' be exclaimed, his face aglow with surprise and pleasure, "I thought you bad gone to the laud of shades, and here I find you by the side of a beautiful girl in an Arcadian para- dise which seems to have arlaen hy magie amid the swamps and bayous of the Yazoo river.

She told me that I had been very ill and delirious and had already passed two nights in the bouse. Her father, she added, was ardently de- voted to the southern cause, as she was herself, hut they were always ready to respond to the calls of humanity and in ministering to the sick they made no lis- tinction between a Confederate and Un lon soldier.

"Pardon me, sir." said 1 as I stepped ashore, "if I ask the meaning of these wreaths.

After several skirmishes it was found impossible to force a passage through the swamps, which were passable only hy aarrow causeways, commanded by Con- federate batteries, and the attempt was abandoned after a few days.

"In the lot. of these skirmishes 1 was severely wounded and was left unnoticed by my comrades in a dense canebrake upon their return to the Yazoo after the attempt had failed. I lay for some time in a semiconscious condition, securely screened from the eyes of my enemies, as I had been, unfortunately, from those of my friends. My condition was truly de- plorable, for I was not only seriously wounded and weak from the loss of blood, hut the causeway was now patrol- led by Confederate soldiers, and even were it otherwise the Federal troops bud probably by that time re-embarked on the trausport. and should 1 reach the Yazoo it wunld only be to fall into the bands of the eyemy.

"HE BORE ME TO THE BANK OF THE RIVER." ing to the nearest of the causeways, we saw the Confederates rapidly approach- ing and in such numbers that there was no possibility of our coping with them. So we rushed along at our out most speed. our progress being much impeded by in- terlacing vines, which in some places had fallen across the track and in others hung from the trees just low enough to entangle our heads in their meshes. "As we reached the causeway there was no indication of the enemy, and we began to hope that they bad not discov- ered the route we took. We did not slacken our speed, however, and when we had covered most of the distance to the river we saw them following at full speed, Henceforth it was a race in which the stakes were death or captivity and safety. As our lending files had reached the bank of the river a Confed- erate hullet, fired at long range, hit me in the leg, and 1 fell helpless into the bushes by the wayside. Our men then fired a volley at the foe, which did some execution and checked their advauce. "Soon after I fell John Douglas was hy my side and raised me to my feet. It

was impossible for me to walk or even to stand alone, and I begged him to leave me to my fate and save himself from capture or perhaps death. But the tohle" hearted fellow, not listening to my re- monstrances for a moment, picked me up in his powerful arms and hore me to the hank of the river. Our comrades who in the hurry of hoarding their hont bad not probably missed us, were now beyond hailing distance. Fruitful in re- sources, my companion rushed to a part of the bank where he saw a plank and, returaing at once, placed me on it in the water. Attempting to go on it himself, be found it would not hear us both, so he gave the plank a vigorous push and said: " "Try to paddle in the direction of the gunhoat. 'They will soon see you and come to your rescue. I can swimn.'

"Following his advice and using my bands as paddles, I had made some prog- ress toward the vessel when I saw a row- hoat coming to our rescue. My heroic. self sacrificing friend still kept me com-

pany. The boat approached nearer aud nearer until she was only two lengths nway. Then I turned and looked for my friend, and I saw his head disappear beneath the water. i threw myself from the plank into the water in an aguny of despair, wishing to share the fate of my comrade, but I was soon rescued aud tak- en into the boat. "Can yon wonder now." he continued. while tears flowed down his vale checks, "that I cast a flower wreath on the dark waters of the Ynzoo on Memorial day ?"
