The interests of Memorial Day at the
Capitol centre in Arlington, the pictur-
esque homestead of General. Lee on the
heights across the glistening Potomae,
where stand the monuments of 16,000 de.
fenders of the Union. Interest doubly
centres upon Arlington this Memorial
day, from the masses engaged in the
brilliant oblation to the leader of the
forces of the Confederacy at Richmond,
on the one hand, and from the citizens
and soldiery now assembled at Arlington
to decorate the graves of the silent
thousands, on the other.
Arlington, the home of General Lee,
rivals Mount Vernon in historic interest.
From the day when in the reign of
George II. Sir William Berkeley, gov-
ernor of Virginia, granted 6,000 sores of
land along the Potomac River to Robert
Howson -a grant which was afterwards
sold for six hogsheads of tobacco -the
estate has passed through many chang-
ing scenes. Here John Castle brought
his haughty and ill-tempered brie ;
here, in the happinese of young wife-
hood, Dame the beautiful Martha Custie,
soon to become a widow ; beneath its
noble oaks George Washington wooed
and won her after her husband's death ;
here, too, she sat in a little summer
house on sonny afternoons, and, with the
Father of his Country, watched the
placid Potomac roll onward to the sea ;
here her granddaughter, Mary Randolph
thistle, wedded her ohildhood's play-
fellow,
layfellow, Lieut. Robert E. Lee ; here these
two yonng hearts lived in mediae
happiness until there came the sound of
cannon, and a curtain of desolation shut
out the happiness of the pest and made
it but a memory and a dream. Then the
Government, having bought in the
estate for unpaid theme converted it into
a burial plane for thousands who wore
the blue.
In the early part of the eighteenth
oentety John Cuetis purchased about 1,-
160 aortae of the origuntl grant and
named hie estate "Arlington." Hfs wife,
with whom he was so unhappy that he
did not begin to live until she died, left

simple apparatus was in use, consisting of
two brass plates, in which the stitches were
incised, holding tightly together the leather
parts of the glove, while the needle of the
sower followed easily these incised stitches.
It was an easy work, not at all injurious to
body or eye, and an industrious and quiet
girl could, without any exertion, sew two
pairs of gloves a day, for which she re•
ceived from 20 pence to 3 pence each, equal
to about 5 pence to 0 pence a day. Very
poor wages. But the money was earned in
it comfortable way.
