That clothes the land they rescued —these, though nnte, As feeling ever is when deepest—these Are monuments more lasting than the fanes Reared to the kings and demi-gods of old.” The custom of annually decorating the graves of the faileu heroes of the Union grows in favor with each passing year, and Memorial or Deco- ration Day has come to be regarded as one of the most sacred of American commemorative holidays. Throughout the length and breadth of our country, wherever the remains of Union soldiers repose, the day isobserved by the touch- ing and beautiful treme: § of strewing their graves with floral offerings of patriotic affection. = the District of Columbia Memorial Day has alwa: usual importance, and every year has been im- pressively commemorated under the auspices of the Gr. Army of the Republic. In fact, at no other point in the United States has the day ever been se generally and s0 appropriately observed ag in Washington. It is but natural that such should be the case, since here is located the capital of the nation, which those who sleep their last sleep at Arl and so nobly defended; since here are congre- gated the chief rulers of the republic, who owe their present elevated positions t> the sacrifices of the soldiers of the Uuion; and since at Arling- ton repose the remains of over 16,000 Union dead—the largest number entombed at anyone point in the land. PREPARATIONS FOR CELERRATING THE DAY. Ever since Sunday last the stout arms of the members of the Grand Army and the fair fin- | aa] of thetr otic lady friends have been usily engaged at their headquarters, 1216 F , in entwining wreaths, garlands and other Hora! tributes, and late last night everythin was pronounced in readiness for the ceremonia| to-day. Too much credit cannot be given to Mr. E. A. Jacobs, chairman of the decoration committee, and Mr. P. C. Lautrup, of the office of the supervising architect of the Treasury, under whore direction the artistic work of arranging the foral offeri was done; to the patriotic ladies who gave heir time and displayed their feminine taste in the matter of decorations; aud in fact, to all who assisted in carry ing out the arrangements of the Grand Army. Farly this morning the members of the decoration com. mittee and a few others left for Arlington for the purpose of decorating the “Tomb of the Unknown,” the Arlington mansion, and the speaker's stand. ‘The day opened cloudy and threatening, but an invigorating breeze sprung up about eight ovclock, and had it not been for the occasional showers during the afternoon, the weather wou'd been all that could be desired. In compliance with executive orders issued by the President and Governor Cooke, all the departments of the government and the District offices were closed luring the day. to enable those who desired to participate, with the Grand Army, in the deco- ration ceremonies. Most of the places of busi ness in Washington and Georgetown remained closed during the day, and flags on public and private buildings were generally displayed im respect to the gallant dead. The main body of the Grand Army lett the city for Arlingten about half-past ten o'clock, some going by way of Georgetown and others’ via theLong bridge and old Fort Albany. ON THE ROAD TO ARLINGTON As early as ten o'clock hundreds of people mainly pedestrians, were streaming over the Aqueduct bridge and along the road thence to the cemetery. Almost everybody carried a lunch basket, and was laden with boquets, wreaths and garlands of flowers. A }: ree m ber of rude booths, at which cakes, “Dolly Var- den tonic beer,” ‘siee cool lemonade,” cigars, peanuts, gutta percha ples, oranges, lemons, Nrawberries, dc, were dispensed Tor a moter ate consideration. The “Dolly Varden tonic beer” man attracted a good share of attention by his tireless iteration of “T say it first, I say it last, ‘That every man should buy a glass,” and drove a thriving business, especially with he colored people. At the north entrance to the cemetery none but pedestrians were aliowed toenter. At this point a large number of re- freshment stands were in full operation at an early hour. On a large wall tent near this en- trance was painted in large letters, “The won- derful six-leged calf Virginia,” while in trout of the tent, mounted on a fiour barrel, stood an enterprising American citizen, announcing in stentorian tones that everybody could see thix wonderful “freag” of nature for the inconsider- able sum of ten cents. At Arlington. All horsemen and carriages entered the groupds trom the south entrance, filing up the road leading to the mansion. At this point a heavy arched gateway of Seneca stone is in pro- cess of erection by Mr. Flannery, the sculptor, this city. A the procession passed up the road leading to tue cemetery, the tall ancestral oaks on either si le were vocal with the music of wild birds, amorg which were heard the shrill whis- tle of the quail and the plaintive notes of the cuckoo.
