Sheridan's household, as the physicians have tamed a bulletin saying thai there has been a slight but distinct improvement in all hb symptoms. The night was an anxious one. The patient seemed to grow weaker and weaker. Even the memlwrs of his staff, who have been in constant attendance since his first attack last Monday, aqd who have all along contended that the general would pull through, seemed despondent and discouraged. The history of the case shows that the most dangerous time for the general is between the hour* of » and « in the morning. All the physidans and the nurse were with him during that period, and the discouraging news that came from the bedside from time to time filled the anxious watchers with grave fear. It Wm in th* South Thai Fl««rtn Wer* ; ~ Fin* Strewn on the Grave* of Soldiera MCl the Incident Galled Forth the- Poem. "Th. Bine and the Gray." May 80. 1888, was not a day tor sentiment or oeranony In the United States. Never, indeed, in the history of the great republic, had so many exciting events occurred in so brief a time as then; and never again, let us hope, will there b* so many tad and' 'aaaious hearts. The tears of the bereaved in the north were, it is true, relieved by the Bmlles which greeted the returning brave; from all {tarts of the south the Union soldiers ware coming home, to receive the homage of a nation and lire as an honored class, while the poor Confederate sorrowfully sought his desolated home with only wound* and glory for his p»y. At last there was peace. The almost exhausted nation breathed freely again and took account of lwr hurts. Over 600,000 mm. had died on the field and in the hospital; nearly 800,000 more were disabled; 1,000,000 hid been subtracted from the virile Torce of the country, while wealth had been wasted aad money poured out like water. In the north there was mourning enough; but in the J: % south every second plantation waa desolate and the oommerce of every port frm dead, every family wore weeds of woe, everyfifth house was in ashes, every third seidtar had sunk to bis grave. The nation a* a whole had breathed freely bat a day when it* president was assassinated, and the grand review of 900,000 Union veterans at Washington, on the 22dof May, waa contemporary with the beginning of tbe trial at th* ooDspirateM. In the south all was uncertainty, their choeen leader* in prison, and all prominent Confederates in doubt of their future. Verily, it was no time for Decoration day ceremonies. Yet even that early were the hegiindnga of th* custom noted. A few southern ladle* on different day* and at widely separated points, had during the spring held simple ceremonies at the cemeteries and garlanded the tomb* of their lamented heroes. Early In 1866, by a common impulse, the custom was adopted in the South; the 28th of April waa the day selected, and it remains the . southern day. Let it tie noted that Decoration day had its origin in the sooth, and that Its first general observance waa marked by "*~ •ome touching incident* which tended to soften the animosltlea of the late war. At Columbus, Mi*., where many Federal soldiers were buried, the ladle*, in a noble spirit of tenderness and hope for the renewed union, strewed flowers upon the gravss of both Federals and Confederates, and from every part of the nation e.m« warm eulogiea.
