IN CHICAGO. The 80th of May has been set apart by a great number of American citizens as a day oI tioral commemoration of “tho unforgzotten brave,” who died defending the unity of the Republic. Since the War, Chicago bas, year by year, daily celebrated the occasion in her cemeteries. The ceremonies of last year were, despite unfavora- ble weather, more impressive than any that had preceded them. The amount of flowers and ev- ergreens strewn above the last reating-place of many a fallen hero prociaimed the grautude of the living for the services and sacrifices that had preserved the Unfon intact through the fiery ordeal of many a well-contested battle. A very reassuring featurs of the event of last year was that the few COSFEDERATE GRAVES inour cemeterics were not loft unwreathied, showing the admiration of genorous foes for mistaken patriotiem and miedirecied valor. The Iadies of Chicago joined beartily in the move- ment, and thers appeared to be & noble whole- heartedness of purpose. This accounted for the euccess of the commemorative services. TRIS YEAR the anniversary waa ‘hardly so fortunate. Dis- eatisfaction existed @omewhers, and this feeling was speedily ayparent in the slackening of patriotic enthneissm. Whence the troubles rose 10 person seeniod to lknow, but certain it is that the movement lacked the element of strength. The ladies did not show the same devotion to the slain tha% bas hitherto characterized them, 2nd some of the leading spirita of 1873 and other years were notably absent from the pro- grammes. | s Some ‘people have about come to the conclu- sion that thhe genius of the age, cepecially among the American people, is . AGAINST ANNTVERSARIES. Our people are, apparently, content tolet the pest. take care of itself, and avoid retrospection. Perhaps this may be chiefly due to the exhaus- tion of the patriotic subject. The ectire bat~ teries of national rhetoric opened their fire the oation over during the last eight vears, and :ore is, virtually, nothiog to be said about the Wear, orabout those who fell victims to its mar- tisi violence. As the Fourth of July orators bave long ago expended every bit of plumage on the eazle of our country, even tothe pin- feathers, Jeaving that much-exercised bird in a state of perfoct nudity, so the orators of the cemeteries, in fighting " the battles of the slain over and over again, bavo EXPENDED THEIR PATRIOTIO AMMUNITION, and the diguity of silence1s now by many con- sidered the most fitting tribute to the dead. Even defuct heroes ceasa to be interesting af- 2er their psnegyTics have boen pronounced sev- eral bundred times. Besides, the stock of poe- try is exhausted. “The miduigh: dows and dumpa™ of Mrs. Ward Howe fall chill upon the hesrzs of the people of to-day. *‘The watch- fires of an hundred circling camps” have ceased to burm, and their ashey have long ago been commingled with the dust of many who warmed themselves beside their bivouac-flame. + Fame's otornal camping-ground ” bas becoms overcrowded, aod *‘the Spartan mother's breaet " has no room left for *‘the bloody sbields ™ upon which ler bravest aud her bea: were borne “from many a gory field.” Io short, TOE DEAD ARE AT BEST. Their contemporancous generation is passing away, or elso is fast being blunted by the selfish cares of life, so that the prospects for future commemoration ore growing very small indeed. The psge of history may preserve to the last day-ef the world the names of the chief actors in the grand drama of the 2ebellion, but the great massof unchronicled heroes must look for their reward in thoes realms which know no . the decay of mortality. “The storied urn or snjmated bust” may per- petuate the fame of national or local beroes un- til *“the general doom"—decay—*‘shall sweep the column from {he tomb bat, for tho Test, why, ‘“mo chroud, but glory, wiaps them; ~nor praver mor tear have they, save the wanderinz winds and the weeping clouds,” and auch is ever the end of humao glory! . THE MODEST OBLLISK at Loxington, Mass,, tells the traveler that be- neath it sleeps the eight brave fellows who died forcmont for America, when the gallant farmers of the Bay State drove the British into Boston. ‘The movnment on Breed's IMill tells of the glo- rious resistance at the redoubt, now obliterated ; but who of all our 40,000,000 ever hears of a name from all the dead except it be that of en? Yet many a3 brave a man 2s Warren perished on Breed's Hill, but he was a Major- General, and stars, whether yet in the skics or on human shoulder-straps, scldom shine in vain. Therafore, it is botter to raise monuments that commemorate all, even the nunamed, than to strew flowers which Jast but & day. The granite can defy th snow, to which the evergreen may succumb, and to this must wo come at last. If we want to preserve the memorics of our soldier- dead, we must appeal to the stouecutter ratber than'to the florist. In any case, 1t is dcubtfal whether . NATIONAL CEMETERIES can eo well perpotuate tho memores of battlo as the cold peglect which sllows the soldier to woulder whore he falls. How would Marathon appear with her heroes Iaid out in long rows, and white boards over them to tell whethor they were Spartans, Thebans, or Athenians? Well did Byron express this idca whon he wrote that tho dead of Marathon— A nobler monument command— i The mountains of their native land, # Little Round Top” will live in story when the Gettysburg monument has crumbled into nothingness. Perhaps the old Duks of Welling- ton uttered the true philorophy of veneration, when, on revisiting the field of Waterloo, he found that some busybodies bad pleced a colossal lion on top of a buge mound, waich rose in the famed plateau where * the Old Guard died bu: d&id pot swrender.” *‘D—n them,” ex- claimed the Iron Duke the scoundrels have epoiled my battle-field." FLOBAL DECORATIONS do well enough when the friends of those who fell are still fresh in griel for their doom, but, when the sbarpest paugs bave become blunted, it 18 hard work torevive the old devotion. Before decorative enthusiasm can reach its prisiine vigor, we must have a pew war, new heroes, mew orators. new poets, and afresh stock of semi-politico-military organizations. ROSEHILL. The procession arrived at the Rosehill Ceme- tery at about half-past 2o'clock. The decora- tions of thesoldiers’ graves ir this cemetery wero not 8o profuse and hardly o bezatiful as the year before, which was csased by the absence on tho first two days of the week of lady volunteers at tho wreath and cross making. TRE FLORAL DECORATIONS ere were under the supervigion of Mrs. Jeanie Smith, nho explained to Tz TRIZCNZ reporter that this apathy on the part of the ladies had resulted in the leaviug unbonored by cross, hicago Daily TPibune, ! NUMBER 981, B — ‘wrenth, or other floral token of no Tess AD, than 250 soldiers’ graves. This lady has, during the past weok. made arduous exertions to have the graver d?ll_y honored, and, in consideration of the sex vices renderod by her on this and on previour occasions, the Grand Army of the Republic on Friday Iast elected b.ar a member of that body, mq presented hor v.ith ths memborship medal, :hh;;nr :::isz:rf mif“flfm the day, and which o g ile 1i decoration of o Xhuglte line: Tha TITE ARCHED ENTEANCE to the cemetcry was very cffective, but yet very simple, consir,ting only of a large American flag, with featoor.s of evergreens, wreaths of flow- ers, and svialler flags in profusion. The two plats of sclidiers’ graves by the side the soldiers” mooument were wo profusoly decorated with owers t'aat the lack of headstones was hardly ?:utud.. The flowers which wore atrewn on ihese graves camo from Cobden, Ill. Among the graves most lnllz ornamentod with floral de- ‘vices wero those of Gen. Ransom and Gen. Wy- man. The decoration of the batteries verv thorough, the flowers applied e this parpose having been sent along by Hr. Thatcher in large quantities. Altbough tho procession did not arrive untilthe hnnrsmgd the cemotery was, from the moment the finst train arrived, the scens of an animated prome- nade. The arrival of the train from Gracoland brought all the promensders tos focus ronnd thegrand stand, which had been erectod noar the soldiers’ monument, and during the per- formauce of the excrcises, the assemblage conld not have numbered less than 5,000. THE PROCESSION, beaded by Gen. Hilliard, of the Grand Army of tho Republic, consisted of that body, followed by the Gormania Band, the Apolio Club, the Sheridan Guards, the Mulligan Zonaves, Lan- gan's Band, and one or two other military or- Sanizations. As soon as the procession came to a halt, the d stand was oocupied by thoes who had the conducting of the exercifcs in hand, 2od distinguished visitors, among whom were Gen. Shendan and staff. Tho exercises—which moeb of the participants had the good sense to make as briel as possible, the heat at the time being most fntenso—were opeuea with s prayer by the Rev. J. 0. Peck, of the Centenary Church, who asked for the blossing of God upon the services they had gathersd to perform, upon the surviving comrades of those whon they had gathered o honor, upon the Army and Navy, upon the Govornment in all ite branches, and upon the educational and all otber groat interests of the nation. At the conclusion of the prayer. the Apollo Club Quintotte sang the National Hymn, “* Amer- ica.” ¢ 6 PaieET ER BIDER, of aul's Universalist Church, then ad- drossed tho meutxlng 23 follows : Wa bave placed to-day upon the graves of onr pa- triot dead, a bouquet of Taowers and S mintatirs AE'. This we call docorating solders’ graves. Considercd by itseif, this is & very imple survice., A tuft of flow= ersznda bit of printed cloth are both cheap and but interpreted by history, by what thess flowers and this fla represents, wa shall find that wo have placed upon tue graves of our dead the symbols of the two great forces of human eoziety—forcea which have been mors induentialin shaping the destiny of menkind than all othere—religion and patriotism. ‘This is & rolizious acrvice which we perform, The mind isled from these graves that wa decorato o the bright home in which, was trust, our patriot desd now live. God and etern:ly are in our thoughte, And the flowers that wo plant upon these graves ars the ont- ward expression of our faith and love. But this is far from all, for these we remembar to- diy died ia the service of their country, and we aro liere aa patriotic men &nd Women o express our grati- tude for their herolc deeds. The voice of patriotirm thus blends in this simple decorstive service with tho voice of religion ; the one symbolized by the flowern, the ofier by the flag ; tha one preceeding from tbe bountifal earth, in the order of Divine Providence, tha other from the hand of man, and indicates his prog- ress wnd dominion. ‘But religion sud patriotism bave been {n all history the swo ruling forces in human society, and ara Dot likely to be lesy potential in the futare. 1 donot, I trust, in a0y way underrate our religions duties when I wsy that they do pot” cover the whole range of human obligation, Nor do I show zny disrespect for the Christian Church wien I etats that patriotism has not always occupied a8 prominent 3 place in the affections of the profossed followers of Clirist aa its lezding importance requires, From the first, Christisnity bas made tive moral duties especially profainent, and hias pressed these upon the itention of mankind as the supreme gaod. Such they no'doub 2re, But, beside there dutles, which are grounded in the afections, lie other duties, especizlly such as re- Ite tociril life and to the infellect. Humanity and( purity are the virtues specially urged by the teachings of Christ, and are more larg-ly practised among Hix followers than by any other people. But this cannol bo s2id of patriotism. Love of country has never boen. a conspicuous feature in Christian clvilization. Om the contrary, ina considerable portion of Christian history the ¢ivic virtues have Leen discoursged. The only allegtance the soul should know, said ke zealous isciple, Was God, or the Church sa’ His xepresenta= va.
