OAKLAND, MD., SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 1877.
Decoration Day.
New York, May 80. —The observ
ance or Decoration Day in this city
to-day was more general, and on a
larger and more elaborate scale than
has heretofore characterized this sol
emn and impressive anniversary.
The weather was delightful, and the i
streets were crowded wit h sight see
ers. All the public buildings,banks, i
insurance companies, Ac., were j
closed, and business almost entirely ;
suspended. The national colors were -
displayed at half mast from hun
dreds of private residences in the j
various streets, from the Postoffice, ;
the City Hall, the newspaper offices
and hotels. Almost every boat of
tho different terry lines on the North
an East rivers were likewise decked
out in hunting, and the shipping in
the harbor displayed insignia of
mourning from their mastheads.
The Worth Monument, and the stat
ues of Washington, Lincoln and La
fayette were elaborately decorated.
Rev. Ilenry 11. Garnett, a colored
preacher, made an invocation at the !
Lincoln statue.
The procession was large and the '
floral features especially noticeable. |
The different military organizations
of the city generally participated,
and made an imposing appearance.
The celebration throughout was very j
impressive.
At Brooklyn there was a general |
observance of the day. The city j
was handsomely decorated with bun- j
ting, and the streets crowded with j
people. Ceremonies were held at j
the tomb of the Revolutionary mar- J
tyrs at Fort Greene, at the Cemetery I
of tlie Holy Cross and at Greenwood. !
At the latter place arrangements lor j
decoration were very extensive. Af- j
ter the ceremonies in this city vari
ous organizations proceeded to the |
various cemeteries, where the graves
were decorated and addresses deliv
ered.
A SOt'tMBUS .SOLDIER’S AbDltfcSS.
The Academy of Music was filled |
to-night with a large audience. The
orator of the day was Gen. Roger A.
Pryor, who delivered a brilliant and
patriotic address. He began by dis
claiming the affectation of regarding
the invitation to deliver the address
as a personal compliment. There
was a worthier and weighter signifi
cance. lie continued : “In saluting
the participation of Confederate sol
diers in the solemnities of this day,
you mean to tender them an over
ture of reconciliation, to avow your
good will toward your recent adver
saries, and to proclaim your desire
for the prevalence of peace and fra
ternal feeling between the lately bel- !
ligerent sections. By no token more j
touching and impressive could you i
make manifest these liberal and pa-1
triotie sentiments. To proffer your j
former foes a share in the simple but |
pathetic ceremonial by which, on
this hallowed anniversary, you sym
bolize the perennial bloom and fra
grance associated with the memory
of your departed comrades, to admit
us into the sanctuary of your sor- \
rows, and allow us to unite in tlie
homage you render to the (alien he
roes of the Union, is indeed so affec
ting a testimonial of your kindness I
and magnanimity that we unreserv-1
edly yield ourselves to its benign in- j
fluencies and reciprocate with all the
warmth of our ardent Southern na-1
ture the inarticulate but heartfelt as- j
piration for a reign of peace and good j
will over our agitated and afflicted j
land. That from our bosoms every !
vindictive or uncharitable recollec
tion of the unhappy conflict is ban
ished, never to return, we this day
attest by the last act of concession
and conciliation, even by bearing the
tribute of praise and benediction to
tlie tomb of those by whose hand our
Confederate republic was stricken
down. 15v a solemnity so impres
sive, by a sacrifice so transcendent,
the soldiers of the lately contending
armies trust to propitiate the fell
spirit of discord and to gladden the
nation once more with tlie blessings
of a restored and reconciled country. ]
And this, the highest office and most
J precious service, is fitlyapp opriated
| and discharged by the soldier.”
Reviewing the causes of the Re
bellion, he found it was not the sol
dier, but tlie men of peace—the poli
ticians—who brought on the war.
While the latter labored to divide
the country, the soldiers of tlie na
tion—no matter what their birth or
political opinions uniformly op
posed anything that tended to disun
ion. When the crisis came the sol
dier was prompt to respond to the
call of his country. But where was
his country? Upon this momentous
question the simplicity of the mili-
b*ry man was perplexed by the so
phistication of the politicians. To
the Southern soldier his State ap
pealed with n supreme and irresisti
sbletitle to allegiance. The Northern
soldier gave his fealty to the flag of
the Union, and here they divided,
each impelled by a motive of genu-
Ihe patriotism. From tho reproach
§f conscious wrong the soldier of the
South Is free, and if, in lifting his
hand against the Republic, lie was
wrong, grievously has lie answered
for it and heroically has he vindica
ted the sincerity of his motives by
pain, privation and the agony of
death. Nor were tlie soldiers any
more responsible for inhumanities of
War than for its breaking out. Those
were the works of Cabinets. The
f. -Opr,f Grant’s aiid Lee’s renown
is untarnished by the atrocities of
the prison camp. In every pause of
battle the contending hosts intermin
gled and endeavored to atone for in
voluntary cruelties by interchange
of tlie charities of humanity, and
the close of the war was marked by
this spirit of chivalry, when the
great captain of the Union armies, j
accepting the surrender of his gr at
antagonist, spared him the humilia
tion ot defeat. With equal magna
nimity did Sherman signal to John
son to desist from the unnatural con
test, and after cutting the Confed
eracy asunder, with intrepid gener
osity signed the capitulation ;of Ral
eigh, thereby conquering the affec
tions of his foe. In the interval of
gloom and shame lying between the
close of the war and the present
dawn of peace the politician to > was '
responsible. The soldier never in- j
tervened to arrest constitutional gov- j
eminent of his volition. When they
occupied the capital of South Caro
lina or Louisiana it was by orders
from Washington, but when after
wards the citizens of Louisiana cele
brated their deliverance the Federal
soldier fraternized with the Confed
erate in the celebration. The scheme
of the administration bv which the
civil was made subordinate to the
military power in a State lias fallen
at last. Tlie nation hails with accla
mation the returning reign of free
dom and peace, and by none is the
auspicious day welcomed with more
enthusiasm than by veterans of the
Union camp. Politicians might yet {
seek to obstruct the work of pacifl-!
cation, hut soldiers, with a better
patriotism and a truer wisdom,
know no other po.icy than concilia
tion.
The Union is re-established in all
its ancient strength and glory, not
only in the supremacy, hut tlie be
neficence of its power, not merely
over the wills, but in the hearts of
the people and of all the people. Its !
privileges and protection are now
everywhere restored, and the loyalty
of Louisiana can be counted on as
surely as the fidelity of New York.
Henceforth the South is only a geo
graphical expression.
And ibis is the tribute a Confeder- j
ate soldier pays to-day to tlie graves I
of tlie fallen heroes of the Union.
The solemn assurance that they fell!
not in vain; that the work they died j
to achieve you have accomplished; !
that as they by their devotion saved
the Union from overthrow, you by j
the policy of justice and magnanimi i
ty have enshrined it in the hearts of i
its once furious but now reclaimed !
and reconciled foes. The people of |
the North now have no cause to mis
trust the professions of fealty to the 1
Union that come from the soldier of j
the South. Love of tho Union re-:
surnes its original ascendency. Hence i
forth the strength and security of the |
South are only to be found under the j
shield of the Union. Freedom and ]
facility of access in every part of
this vast and opulent land opens to
the enterprise of the South a bound
less field of adventure, and imparts j
to its industiial and commercial en
ergies a quickening impulse of de
velopment and fruition.
Meanwhile an expedient devised
to balk the ambition of the white
race recoils upon its source, and by
augmenting the political power of
the Souih enables its aspiring spirits
to play a splendid and superior part
on tlie theatre of Federal affairs.
General Pryor concluded with an
eloquent appeal for the perpetuity of
the Union.
Washington, May 30.— This be
ing Decoration Day, there was a gen
eral holiday in tlie District. All the
executive Departments, the District
I offices and the public schools were
; closed. At noon the chimes of the
! Metropolitan Church plaved a selec*
! fclon of solemn airs, and at all the
I cemeteries in the neighborhood
I where the Union soldiers killed in
the late war are buried there were
decoration services. The principal
decoration was at Arlington, which
was attended by the President and
Cabinet. Gen. Goff, of West Vir
ginia, delivered the oration, and
Will Carleton recited an original
poem. An excursion was made to
Charles county, Maryland, to deco
rate the Union graves. Many per
sons went to Richmond, Harper’s
Ferry, Gettysburg, and other places,
and others to tlie pleasure resorts
near the city. The decoration of the
graves of tlie Confederate dead buried
in this vicinity will take place on the
7th of June
Mrs. Hayes attended, with the
President, the decoration ceremonies
at Arlington to-day, and in person,
and with flowers brought by them
selves, strewed the graves of the
dead soldiers, and especially decora
ted with their own hand the “monu
ment to the unknown,”
Philadelphia, May 30.—T0-day
being Decoration Day all exchanges
and banks were closed and business
to a great extent suspended. The
military and civil bodies turned out
this morning and united with the
veterans in decorating the graves of
departed comrades. Gen. Meade’s
grave in Laurel Cemetery, which
was decorated by George G. Meade
Post of Passaic, New Jersey, was j
the scene of special services.
Gettysburg, Pa., May3o—Over
five thousand persons were present
at the decoration day exercises on
tlie field of Gettysburg. At daylight
a salute of thirty eight guns was
fired on Cemetery Hill, and at 1 P.
M., a procession was formed in the
public square, whence it moved to
Cemetery Hill. The graves of the |
blue and the gray were decorated I
alike by tlie children of the public
schools. Generals J. R. Clayton and j
J. M. Vanderslice delivered orations j
and Colonel Prentiss Ingraham, of
the late Confederate army, read an I
original poem.
Richmond, Va., May 30—Deco
ration Day was observed here with i
the usual ceremonies. During the i
forenoon Winslow Post, Grand Army
of the Republic, repaired in a body
to the National Cemetery and par-;
ticipated in the decoration of the i
graves. The Post adopted resolu
tions appointing a committee to visit
Hollywood and Oakwood Cemete
ries with wreaths for Confederate
monuments, bearing the inscription,
“We honor the brave.” One thous
and excurtionists from Washington
arrived here at noon, and many vis
ited the Federal Cemetery. Tlie
weather was delightful.
Baltimore, May 30.—The custom
of decorating with flowers the graves-:
of tlie fallen heroes whose ashes re
pose in the several cemeteries about!
Baltimore was observed on Wednes
day last. The principal ceremonies
took place at Loudon Park, Freder
ick road, where some 2,300 soldiers
are buried. The beautiful grounds
were thronged with visitors who
were present to assist in performing
the work of strewing flowers upon
the graves. After appropriate relig
ious ceremonies the Hon. Samuel
Shellabarger, of Ohio, who had pre
viously heen selected to perform that
duty, delivered a most beautiful and
impressive address. The oration of
the day was delivered by Rev. Dr.
J. O. Peck, of Mt. Vernon M. E.
Church. The graves of Confederate
soldiers, a number of whom are also
buried in Loudon Park, were not for
gotten but were strewn with flowers
the same as those of the Union sol
diers,
St. Louis, May 30.—Decoration'
Day was more generally observed
here than for several years. The
public offices were closed, and gen
eral business to a consiberable extent
suspended. The ceremonies took
place at Jefferson Barracks, twelve
miles below tlie city, and were wit
nessed by 8,000 to 10)000 persons-.
Col. James O. Broad head, presided,
and addresses were made by Col. P,

sponses to numerous toasts.
Boston, May 3o.—The fine weatli--
er to day induced an almost com
plete suspension of business', and in
all parts of New England the obser
vance of Decoration Day ceremonies
was more general than usual.
Around Boston the cemeteries were
thronged with the outpouring of the
city and suburban population. The
Posts of tlie Grand Army of tlie Re
public made a magnificent display,
and the floral decorations were un
surpassed in any former year. Gen.
Kilpatrick delivered an oration be
fore tlie Grand Army Posts at South
Boston and the Hon. George S.
Boutwell spoke at Barnstable.
Cincinnati, May 30.—Decoration
Day was observed by the usual exer
cises at Spring Grove Cemetery, but

and addresses were delivered at
Chalmette.
Sax Francisco, May 30.—Deco
ration Day was observed with the
usual ceremonies. Banks, exchanges
and principal places of business were'
closed and flags at half mast.
Ex-Presideut Grant Becoming
Talkative.
In reply to the congratulatory ad j
dress with which he was welcome to'
Manchester, England, on Wednesday
ex-President Grant indulged in quite
an extended speech.
“It is scarcely possible for me,” he
said, “to give utterance to the feel
ings evoked by my reception upon
your soil from tlie moment of my
arrival in Liverpool, Where I have
passed a couple of days, until tlie
present moment. After Die scene
I have witnessed in your streets and
public and industrial buildings, I
may be allowed to say that no person
could be the recipient of the honor
and attention you have bestowed up
on me without the profoundest feel
ing. Such have been incited in me
and I find myself inadequateto their
proper expression. It was my origi
nal purpose on my arrival irr Liver
pool to hasten to Ixmdon, and from
thence proceed to visit the various
points of interest in the country.
Among these 1 have regarded Man
chester as the most i mportant. [Hear j
As I have been aware for years of
the great amount of your manufac
tures, may of which find their ulti
mate destination in my own. country
so I am aware that the sentiments of
the great mass of tbe people of Man
chester went out in- sympathy to that
county during the migty struggle
in which it fell to my !ot to take
some humble part. Tlieexpressions
of the people of Manchester at the'
time of our great trial incited within l
the breasts of my countrymen a feel
ing of friendship toward them- dis
tinct from that felt toward all Eng
land, and in that spirit I accept on
the part of my country the compli
ment paid me as its representative,
and think you.”
At the luncheon- which followed,-
the ex-Pi-esklent was toasted, and
replying said that Englishmen had
| got more speeches and of greater
lenght out of him than his own coun
trymen, but they were- poorer be-
I cause they were longer than he was
j accustomed to make.
Raising T-Jmatoes.
Burr tells us that the French mode
j of raising tomatoes is as follows: As
I soon as a cluster of flowers is visible,
| they top the steam down to the clus
j ter so that the (Towers terminate tho
steam. The effect is that the sap is
i immediately impelled into the two
bunds next below the cluster, which
j soon push strongly and produce an
other cluster of flowers each. When
these are visible the branch to wich
they belong is also topped down to
the level; and this is done five times
i successively. By this mean- tho
; plants become stout dwarf hushes,
j not above eighteen inches high. In
j order to prevent their falling, sticks
| or strings are stretched horizontally
[ along the rows, so as to keep tho
j plants erect. In addition to this all
laterals that have no flowers, and
after the fifth topping, all laterals
whatever are nipped off. In this way
the ripe sap is directed into the fruit,,
which acquires a beauty, size and
excellence unattainable hy otheo
means.— Boston (Robe.
