Xo ilclier or moro valuable eloquence lias ever been uttered than that spoken over tho graves of men who have died In battle, From old Athens to tho now America this kind of thunder has rolled along for tho Hying heart. It is possible tho Greeks be gan this now vencrablo costume of recall ing tho dead warrior. In tho earlier epochs the soldier was only a slave and merited nothing, whether In life or In death. Uut In tho land of Pericles and Plato tho soldier became tho highest form of human noble ness, his honor was equal lo that of tho orator, or artist, or poet, and when ho died lighting for Greece his tomb became worthy of tears. By natural process tho laud which could first perceive tho value of a heroic defender was tho land which could first find that strango power of speech which is called eloquence. Tho reason of such dignified and emotional speech came In that measurement of a manhood which could die for tho nubile safetv anil welfare. A literature of eulogy had to come becauso persons had como Into being who were worthy of tho most stately praise. Thus an eloquence was born whero tho great free soldier was Jiorn. The peninsula which produced tho powerful fino arts, which uiado the mind capable of expressing Itself In poetry, history, philosophy and the drama, made also the soldier and the elo quence which could recount his worth. Tho patriotic soldier is as much a pleco of fine work as is the statue or tho marblo temple. There must enter Into his men tal composition the power to comprehend and love a good country. Our Washington had to bo, one of tho greatest men before he could be one of tho greatest of soldiers. Thus with Cromwell and the Prince of Orange. With this kind of greatness the Greek soldier catno Into tho history of the world. Behind tho Persian troops went a driver with a whip, but each Greek soldier carried his impulse all in his own mind. It was from this fact of personal worth camo tho desiro of the Athenian eminent citizens to bo also soldiers. Demosthenes, enlisted and went Into battle, and although history reports him as becoming panic-stricken and retreating in terror, yet his enlisting betrayed his desire to reach tho soldier's height of honor. Pericles, from scholar and orator, passed on to add tho military fame. Socrates went to war, and with all his giant power carried tho wounded Xcnophone off the field, Here, therefore, where tho soldier attained such reach of mind and such renown, tho craves of the dead ones became sacred, and thus came Into being a battle-field eloquence. It was a speech with a great reason beneath It. There can bo no oratory except upon a great theme. There can be tales founded upon the romance of two young hearts there can be legends based upon an Imp, dragon, a mermaid, a giant-killer, or upon a child reared by a wolfo; there can be an essay founded upon some event, some per son, or some fact of nature; a readable poem may be composed by a Burns about an honest man, or by Jlfrs. Browning upon a lock of hair, but eloquence can exist only where somo tremendous subject exists, and hence Its thunder has rolled over only OOtIGH tho words "liberty," "country," "rights," tho "tomb," "Ood," and n "second life." When Itobcrt Ingcrsoll became most elo quent he was recalling tho graves of our soldiers. Tlicro In thoso silent hillocks ho found a themo great enough for his mental equipment. By tho soldier's gravo stood Pericles when ho uttered his greatest oration. When citizens havo died for their country, havo abandoned the beauty and joy of this world that their country may tho better bring happiness to others, and are under tho sod that others may be tho happier up under tho light of the sun, then can tho mind that Is near those graves think Its best thoughts and tho heart become full of tho noblest emotions? To Tcrlclcs standing amlnd such memories, Athens ami tho Athenians, past and future, arrayed them selves In his reason and Imagination, and his voice seemed not the voice of a man, but tho voico of all Grceco speaking lo her dead and to her living through tho dead. At the close of tho speech tho women throw wreaths and ornaments at tho ono who had so perfectly expressed their own patri otic emotions and fond memories. All Iho Greek orators camo upon times when thoy were called to speak words of pralto for those who had died upon the field of battlo. Much of which literature camo not from tho fact that Athens had schools of elocution, but because her sold iers wcro noblo men. If ever a nation had need of a battle-Held eloquence, a speech In memory of Iicr dead troops, tliis is that nation. For moro than twenty years thoso tens of thousands who fell In the war of tho secession have been away from the land they loved. Thoy will neyor como back to seo Its homes, Its vil lages, its cities, Its greatness. They suf fered and died that we might llvo in peaco and honor. They havo all now Into tho perpetual exile of death that disunion might cease, that slaves nilght go frco. that tho Xorth and South might end a long ani mosity In a .ongcr friendship, and that tho people oppressed in despotic lands might look across the sea and pcrcoivo tho fact and blessedness of liberty. Great was M10 causo for which they fought and great is tho honor beneath which thoy sleep. in tho whole history .of man tlicro never marched moro Intelligent armies than those which tramped to and fro upon tho banks of tho James river and tho Mississippi. Tho fanner's son, tho lawyer, tho gradu ate, iho editor, the school-master, the au thor met In tho volunteer's camp and quickly learned tho steps, tho signals and the wholo ceremony of war. They knew tho valuo of tho Itcpubllc which their fathers had founded. They, with the calmest reason, offered to placo their bodies between their native land and its ruin. No gravos In tho classic fields wero oyer' so great as thoso now hidden under our American grass. Out of them should spring an eloquence In which should bo Interwoven gratitude for such sons and wisdom for tho future, awakened and Inspired by a long roll-call of dead heroes. Tongues capablo of this form of exalted speech should tell the great story of patriotism to that gener ation which has como up from childhood to manhood since the surrender at ltich mond. Tho spectaclo of a frco people whoso millions of black citizens are now on their way toward Industry and education, the coming of a new South, tho strengthening friendship between the states which wcrp hostile Jor two generations, the great un folding of the new Territories Into power ful commonwealths, tho National prido at homo and the National honor abroad niako tho tombs of the dead heroes more slgnifi cant to-day when the flowers of spring and summer give way to autumnal tints. Soon drifts of snow shall hide from sight the tombs, and slinplo headstones that mark tho last resting place of thoso who fell In defenso of our country's honor. It is a sad thought that all this greatness was to spring up from tho bloody field whero noblo men wcro ilyiug, But (lie fact is eyident as the sadness is great. Thus comes there a battle-field eloquence unliko any oilier lorm of public utterance, "more solemn, moro tender, moro pathetic. It Is a combination of history, philosophy, dc votlon, of patriotism, and of warm tears, a proso as sublime as poetry, an assemblage of fact that surpasses fiction. Its details might excite tho envy of tho painter and the dramatist. It swoops upward from tho first soldier who fell In death Arthur Ladd, April ID, 1801 to that last soldier Abraham Lincoln, who poured out his blood after peace, the doyo, had fluttered her while wings in the joyful air. HE LOtJTHIB HAT. The hotel custom of supplying a rack outsldo the'dinlng hall door whero hats are to be deposited depends for Us success on the honesty of the guests, and It some times happens that while the man Is stow ing away a good square meal, some stranger Is quietly vanishing with his hat. This generally depends on tho quality of tho hat. A pleasant-looking man camo out of a hotel dining-room recently In that complacent mood which a good dinner hi spires, and dlscorcd that his hat was gone, "Arc joit suro you left It on the rack?" Inquired tho heailwaltcr. "Of coarso I am,"sald tho bare-headed, unfortunate man. "Somo one has piobably taken It by mis take," rejoined the waiter, reassuringly; "yon had better go down to the olllco and watch all the hats that come In," TJils advice seemed sound so tho guest proceeded to scrutinize all the head-gear in sight. Hats of all sizes, colors ami kinds passed in review. At length, however, tho gaze of the barehtancd guest was concen trated on tho hat which a tall man was wearing and ho hastened up to him. "Will you kindly let mo look on tho In- sldo of your hat," ho Inquired with eyes fastoned on the familiar derby. "What for?" "I think possibly you'vo made a mistake and taken my hat. "I have not." "I know It by that white paint spot on tho brim," Insisted the guest. "No you don't. I got that paint stain last September upon Lake Champlaln." "I would like to see the Inside." "Well. If vou want to seo the Inside you'll have to knock that hat off first; what do von sav?" Tho unfortunate eoest cave one linger- Inir look at the hat. and then said sadly: "Neyermlnd. I think perhaps that paint spot does' t look so familiar as it did." BE WANTED TO QET OUT. IIo was an express messenger on tho Santa Fa a few days ago. It was a night , and there wero two passengers In tho , Just as It becan to . crow dusk tlm train stopped nt a 'small station and a dead dy was taken aboard. Nothing partlcu ' was thoucht of this, however, ami n tlicro was nothing to do, and tho tialn would not stop again for a long dlstanco, both messengers prepared to co to sleen. Ono of them decided that the box contain. Ing tho body would bo a good placo rest so ho arrangcdhlmsclf to comfortably on thereon and went to sleep. How long he slept lio has no idea, but suddenly, as If In n dream, ho heard a voico say: "Let mo out."
