An Episode of Decoration Day The-
Exercises iu Corvallis. ( " ,
Three grizzled veterans of the
Civil War, one that wore the gray
and two the blue, with hands clasp
ed ashey stood on the platform of
the Presbyterian church, while the
audience shook the building with
applause, was a thrilling scene at
the closing exercises of Decoration
Day last night. The veterans were
Dr J. R. N. Bell of the late Con
federacy, and D. C. Rose and an
other veteran of the Union, and
the spectacle was an illustration of
the re-uniting of the blue and the
gray. It came at the close of the
address by Dr. Bell, which was of
reminiscent vein, dealing with, the:
clandestine meeting at night the
soldiers of the opposing armies,,
laying in wait for renewal of the
conflict at daylight, provisions and
other articles shared, one with the
I other,
I When at the close of his addressy
Dr. Bell asked if there were among
the veterans present any who bad
taken part in the battles of Win
chester or Cedar Creek, the two
union soldiers stepped to the plat
form. "Are ycu willing to shake
hands with a man who for lour
years wore the gray?" Three
hands were gracped and as the trio
stood there, a concrete illustration.
of a reunited North and South, tne
aud;ence thundered its approval-
Many eyes in the large audience
were dimmed with tears at the
sight, which was a spectacle of
dramatic intensity seldom seen.
The occasion was a fitting close to
the exercises of the day which in
cluded the narade headed by the
i
Cadet band and tegiment. the
march to the cemetery, the uecorat
ing of tne graves, and the usual in
cidents ot the day on wnicn iuc
dead are remembered.
