GRAVES AT ARLINGTON.
Historic Resting Place of Many of the Union’s Dead.
Present Appearance of the Splendid Home Which
Genera! Robert E. Lee Left to Help the Southern
Confederacy—Price Paid by the Government.
Arlington house and the fine estate of a
thousand acres, which was the home of
General George Washington's adopted son
from 1802 to the time of his death—Tlies on
the Virginia hills, just four miles from the
capitol dome, at Washington as the crow
flies. To reach it you pass through quaint
old Georgetown—its tumble-down man-
sions built a century ago, its narrow streets
and old, old canal, and the dilapidated
ware houses of a by-gone port ; its great
reservoir, and brand new power house of
the electric railway, and smelt market, (in
a double sense) ; its ancient Catholic uni-
versity and community of priests and nuns
and professors ; its proud ‘‘First Families,”
and the historic cemetery where many
more of the ‘“F.F. V.’s’”” may be found;
its swarms of smiling darkeys and mongrel
curs, its frank squalor and happy-go-lucky
poverty. All this is Georgetown, and a
great deal more which can better be felt—
and smelled—than described.
Then you cross the long wooden bridge
on top of the canal acqueduct, which spans
the Potomac, where all is ‘‘quiet’’ to-day
as during the weary months when Me-
Clellan’s forces lay along the placid river,
and then you are out of the District of
Columbia and in
THE GREAT STATE OF VIRGINIA,
beginning with Rosslyn, the little hamlet
at the further end of the bridge. Next you
speed along an unfenced road, which is as
full of holes and gullies as only a Virginia
road can be, the ‘‘sacred soil’’ on either
side as red as brick dust, and apparently
incapable of growing a weed, past several
negro settlements, from the doors of whose
shanties black faces grin and yellow dogs
fly out to snap at your heels—a mile or so
to the northermost entrance of the ceme-
tery grounds.
Arlington house is situated at the high-
est point of the ridge which overlooks
Washington, so that a straight line drawn
from its door step to the capitol building,
would be about on a level with the plumed
helmet of the Goddess of Liberty atop the
dome, 339 feet above low-tide in the river.
The whole estate of 1,000 acres, which lies
along the highway between Georgetown
and Alexandria, is inclosed within a sub-
stautial wall of red free stone ; but only
about 200 acres of it,immediately surround-
ing the mansion, are used for cemetery
purposes. There are three imposing gate-
ways in the wall and over the arch of the
principal one is inscribed these words :
‘‘Here rest 15,585 of the 315,558 citizens
who died in defense of our country 1861 to
1865."
Entering the gate nearest Georgetown
you are at once in the midst of countless
graves—foot high, marble headstones un-
dulating up hill and down, far as the eye
can reach. To the right and left of the
winding road extends the ‘‘silent bivouac
of the dead,’”’ and your imagination invol-
untarily conjures up the scene when Gabriel
blows his trumpet in the morning and this
grand army of the republic gets up in an-
swer to the summons. Each white stone
tells its own brief but pathetic story. They
are familiar names, which in most instances
speak of their Anglo-Saxon origin on the
farms and in the village workshops of the
forth ; as, for instance, here is Henry Rob-
inson, from the Minnesota volunteers, be-
side George Long, of the Maine cavalry,
with Charles Windom, from an Ohio vil-
lage, on one side, and James Knight, from
Pennsylvania, on the other. There are
few foreign names to be seen, but, strange
to say, those of women appear on many of
the slabs. Why they are here it is impos-
sible to understand. To be sure, there
were ‘‘Belle Boyds” and female spies in
the war, but all these could not have been
of that description. Perbaps they were
nurses in the hospitals around Washington,
where they died of diseases contacted from
the sick and wounded soldiers, or maybe
they were ‘‘daughters of the regiment,”
and a few may have been those strange
characters who shed the habiliments of
their sex, donned the warrior’s garb and
marched, Amazon-like. to their graves. In
either case the spirit of heroism was within
them, and they deserve to slumber with
the Grand Army. The colored troops, two
or three thousand of them, are encamped
by themselves in one corner, and, like
their white companions-in-arms, the ma-
jority went to glory from Virginia battle-
fields and Washington hospitals.
At length, wearied of interminable head-
stones, you turn to the left by some leaf-
strewn pathway under the memorial oaks,
work southward up and down the gentle
hills, cross two or three little creeks—al-
ways with graves on either hand—till sud-
denly an opening in the trees discloses
ARLINGTON HOUSE
just ahead, looking very much as it did
when famed for sumptuons hospitality in
it halcyon days, ‘‘befo’ the wah,’ as they
say in Virginia. From Washington the
mansion appears snow white amid the sur-
rounding green, but a nearer view shows it
to be yellow. It was built in the Grecian
style, designed from drawings of the tem-
ple of Pestum, near Naples. The central
portion of the edifice is 60 feet square, with
two wings each 40 feet square, giving a
frontage of 140 feet. This is faced bya
portico 25 feet deep, with eight magnificent
Doric columns, 26 feet high, supporting its
pediment. These figures convey no idea
of the dignity and aristocratic pretensions
of the place, nor of the air of snug comfort
and good cheer which yet linger around the
dismantled home. .
By the way, the general impression that
this house was owned hy Robert IE. Lee at
the time of the ‘‘late unpleasantness’’ and
that it was confiscated on account of his
participancy in the rebellion is a mistaken
one. General Lee never owned so much as
a birch in its walls. It belonged to his
wife, who was a Custis, and inherited it
from George Washington Parke Custis, the
adopted son of our first President, and she
only had a life interest in the estate, which,
at her death, would have reverted to Gen.
Custis Lee, the next descendant in line.
The Lee family occupied it till 1861, when
they went south to cast their fortunes with
the confederacy. In the following year it
was taken as the military headquarters of
Gen. McDowell, of the United States, and
was occupied by the federal forces till ’63,
when it was sold by the government under
the direct tax act of the sum of $65, over-
due taxes. The money was tendered again
and again by Gen. Lee’s friends, but was
refused. Those were troublesome times
when injustice ran riot on both sides and
the barbarities we are now condemning in
Cuba were not wholly unknown in our
own more enlightened land—as, for exam-
ple, the execution of Mrs. Surratt for the
crime of keeping a boarding house. After
the war Mrs. Lee brought suit against the
government for the recovery of her prop-
erty, or the value of it. Meanwhile the
government had turned it into a burial
ground, which, of course, ruined it so far
as the family was concerned. Finally
THE SUPREME COURT DECIDED THE CASE,
In favor of the Lee heirs, whereupon a bill
was ‘introduced in the Senate by Senator
Edmunds, of Vermont, to pay Mrs. Lee the
sum of $250,000 for the property. The
bill was passed and the money was turned
over to General Custis Lee, the heir-at-law
under the will of his giandfather, as rec-
orded in the Fairfax county court house—
all but $20,000, which was retained by the
government until the state of Virginia had
been paid all taxes due. As will he seen,
there was some injustice even in this, es-
pecially after the direct tax law had been
repealed, making the rightful owners of
the place pay for it during the time it was
forcibly held by other parties. The Na-
tional cemetery was formally established
by the government in 1867, upon 200 acres
of the land. Besides the boys in blue, a
few hundred who wore the gray are also
buried here ; and back of the mansion is a
much older family graveyard enclosed
within a stone wall. In the latter lies
Mary Randolph, one of the proud Ran-
dolphs of the Roanoke valley and grand-
mother of Mrs. Robert E. Lee. Near the
beginning of the century she came up from
Richmond to live with her daughter, Col.
Parke Custis’s wife, who was then the mis-
tress of Arlington, and there she found a
final resting place, the first occupant of the
family burial ground. Beside her lie Col.
Parke Custis and Eleanor, his lovely wife,
who was once the gayest belle in all the
surrounding region.
Close by this tiny God’s acre is an ob-
ject of greater interest to the country at
large—the great granite sarcophagus under
which so many mothers’ boys sleep in one
grave. Four cannon are mounted on top,
with a pyramid of balls between, and the
polished face of this monument bears this
inscription :
“Beneath this stone repose the bones of 2,111:
:unknown soldiers, gathered after the war:
om the fields of Bull Run and the route to:
he Rappahannock. Their bodies could not:
e identified, but their names and deaths are:
ecorded in the archives of their country, and:
8 grateful citizens honor them as its noble:
f m ay they rest in peace.
In the rear of this is the amphitheatre
where every year the services of Memorial
Day are performed. It is covered with a
large circular arbor, over which a variety
of grape vines and flowering creepers fur-
nish dense shade in their season. All about
are flag staffs and beautifully-kept flower
beds and benches scattered upon green
lawns, pathways leading to shady nooks
beneath grand old trees—a very paradise
for a summer day’s loitering.
The interior of Arlington House still
hears some resemblance to the time when
its great rooms were famous for elegant
hospitality and the ‘‘first society’ of the
infant republic ate, drank, danced and
made merry within them. From the day
of its building the proud old mansion al-
ways sheltered the noblest men and most
beautiful women of America, and no other
of the several historic houses of the country
has so plainly retained the savor of great-
ness. Monticello flourished only while
Jefferson lived; the Hermitage fell into ob-
scare bands soon after Jackson died; Ash-
Jand, Sunnyside, Marshfield, shared the
same ignoble fate. Mount Vernon had no
succession of fame; the illustrious Washing-
ton of long ago has enough.
Beneath the cornices of the Arlington
parlors may yet be seen the hooks that once
held the celebrated pictures which George
Washington’s adopted son brought from
Mt. Vernon, including several original por-
traits of the Father of His Country, dating
from 1772 to 1796. There was also the
equestrian statue, by Trumbull ; the Wil-
liams crayon from actual settings; three
originals, by Stuart ; the bust, a master-
piece from which so many copies have heen
made ; the full-length, made to order for
the Marquis of Lansdowne, and another
painted expressly for Martha Washington,
widow. There were many miscellaneous
pictures too, some of them of great value
which had been presented to Washington
by eminent people at one time or another,
and the quaint, high-posted bedstead upon
which he died. These are all gone now,
with the scattered remnant o: his descend-
ants and only a shadow of departed glory
mantles the edifice.
Behind the house runs the well-worn
path beneath the oaks which Robert E.
Lee paced all night long—so it is said—
while >
MAKING UP HIS MIND.
Which way duty lay—whether to cast
his fortunes with his kindred of the south
or remain loyal to the government to which
he owed his education as a soldier. He
was a prayerful, upright man, who doubt-
less acted upon his honest convictions of
right, unbiased by self-interest. At any
rate, he snatched from that niggard Time,
an immortal fame, though he died in pov-
erty, self-exiled from his once heautiful
home. His descendants mourn for their
beloved Arlington, and like Rachael la-
menting for her children, refuse to be com-
forted ; but it is to be hoped that when
they come here to visit the graves of their
ancestors and to bewail the grandeur which
once was theirs, they will also remember
the more than 15,000 homes, and the many
times 15,000 hearts, made desolate by the
death of the men who now oceupy the es-
tate.
General Robert E. Lee’s oldest son is at
present one of the substantial farmers of
Fairfax county, Virginia. The other day
I read an item in a local paper which spoke
of him as having “just passed our office,
sitting behind a fine pair of mules, which
seemed to know that a master hand held
the ribbons.” Mrs. Smith Lee, mother of
General Fitzhugh Lee and sister-in-law of
Robert E., still lives at ‘‘Cameron,’’ the
old homestead near Alexandria. She is as
proud and seclusive a grande dame of the
old regime as one may find in a week’s
journey—even 1 Virginia. Before the
war, from which unhappy epoch dates the
winter of their discontent for all these peo-
ple. She wasa familiar figure in Washing-
ton society as one of its most conspicuous
leaders. Of late years she has lived in
strict retirement, devoted to her memory
of better days. Another member of the
family, Charles R. Lee, is a Washington
attorney and one of the local managers of
an agricultural insurance company of
Watertown, N. Y.
Interesting as Arlington House is, and
crowded with historic reminiscences, the
view from its portico commands longer and
more pleased attention. On the Sunday of
my visit, with the trees showering their
autumn tribute of crimson and gold upon
the graves, heaven and earth seemed to
have conspired to add charms to the do-
main of the dead. Ink and paper cannot
do justice to the scene. Directly in front,
the great green lawn, set with handsome
shrubbery, slopes to the old turnpike over
which our armies marched to battle. Far
below, the historic Potomac stretches like
a silver ribbon ; on the other shore the city
of Washington, spread out like a panorama
its magnificent public buildings in full ar-
ray—the Washington monument piercing
the blue with heaven-pointing fingers and
the bronze Goddess of Liberty keeping
guard over all from the lofty perch on the
capital dome. On the north lies the beau-
tiful Soldiers’ Home ; on the south the
gloomy red-birch flowers of that abode of
tragedy, St. Elizabeth’s Insane asylum.
Nearer by, splitting the lordly river in
twain, is Analostin Island, still cumbered
with its cient revolutionary farm house
and outbuildings, and beyond all, across
the eastern branch of the Potomac, the blue
hills of Maryland, My Maryland.”

“CALL A SPADE A SPADE.”
Some People too Modest to Confide in a Physician—A Woman Cured of
a Serious Disease by a Certain Method, the Only Draw
back of Which was, It “Made Her too Fat'’
From the Evening News, Detroit, Mich.
The doctor came in haste and found his patient |
again in great agony from a splitting headache. !
It was his fifth call on the same patient, and each
time to treat the same trouble. With a suspicion
that his diagnosis was incorrect and that he was |
treating a symptom and not the disease, he said
to her: “¥Madam, it is useless for me to visit you
again. You are keeping from me facts and symp-
toms, which it is necessary I should know. The
patient finally acknowledged that, through a false
modesty, she had not told him all. Then she
told how she had suffered from female weakness
but had kept it from him—too modest to speak.
The old doctor was disgusted at such prudish-
ness, but when he knew the facts, cured her easi-
ly and quickly.
The following case difters from the above, only
in the fact that the patient is not afraid to speak,
and to *‘call a spade a spade.”
“Words fail to describe the suffering I endured
before I used Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale
People,” said Mrs. Alexanaer B. Clark, of 417
Michigan Avenue, Detroit, Mich. “For five years
Ihave suffered from ovarian troubles, and was
confined to my room for months at a time. I
have undergone two operations for this trouble at
the hospital, and seemed to grow worse instead of
better. I had the best doctors and the best nurs-
ing, but for nearly five years I was not free for
one single day from the most fearful headaches
and intense twitching pains in my neck and
shoulders.
‘
would notice spots before my eyes and then I
would go blind, and send for the doctor.
“At first they would treat me for indigestion
and dyspepsia, then finally acknowledge that
something else caused the trouble. During these
spells I was so nervous that I could not Er to
have my husband walk across the floor, and as
the doctors said there was no medicine that
would reach my trouble, I consented to the opera-
tions, which left me worse off than I was before.
“In January of this year there was an article in
the Evening News about the druggists that sold
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills in Detroit. I told
: my husband I was going to try them and he said,
‘try anything.’
“The next morning I went into Murphy Broth-
ers’ drag store and bought a box of Dr. Williams®
Pink Pills. Mr. Murphy said he had a big sale
, for the pills and personally knew many people
' who had been helped by them. I took the pills
| as directed, but was not helped a bit, and I told
Mr. Murphy so, but he suggested that I give them
a better trial. Before I had finished the second
box I began to feel better and went down and
bought a dozen boxes. When I had taken six
boxes my headaches were gone, but I continued
using the pills until I had taken the twelve boxes.
“Just think what I have suffered by operations
and vile medicines, when a simple remedy cured
me.
‘“I'here is only one thing against Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills for Pale People,” continued Mrs. Clark
“they made me fat. Since I commenced taking
them, in January, I have gained twenty-six
pounds. I remember the many times when my
friends came to see me, when I was so thin and
weak, that they expected to hear that I was dead
the next week. To-day I am perfectly well, and
never felt better in my life, and itis all due to
Dr, Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People.”
All the elements necessary to give new life and
. ; richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves
“You would scarcely believe, to look at me now, | are contained in Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale
that for about three days every week for nearly | People. They are for sale by all druggists, or
