the rebel yell was their only applause, their happiest greeting. It was the outburst from brave men who could thus best give expression to their indignation for what was past and their joy for the present. As the carriage approached the hotel all sounds ceased, and a deep and solemn silence fell upon the vast crowd, less demonstrative than the yell, but more tender in its sympathy. As Mr. Davis stood up in the carriage, preparatory to alighting, a stentorian voice shouted: Hats off, Virginians, and five thousand bare-headed men did homage to him who had suffered for them, and with moistened eye and bated breath stood silent and still until their representative entered the hotel. The treatment which the Federal government had imposed upon Mr. Davis had made him a martyr; the applause was an attestation of that fact. Around the court-room were thousands of men who had met danger and suffered loss. Each man felt that Davis had suffered vicariously for him. If Davis was a trait

And here to-day, my countrymen, I tell you Lee shall ride With that great rebel down the years— Twin rebels side by side! And confronting such a vision All our grief gives place to pride. Those two shall ride immortal, And shall ride abreast of Time; Shall light up stately history And blaze in Epic Rhyme— Both patriots, both Virginians, true; Both rebels; both sublime! And should our children, and our children's children, apply to their own conduct, as men and as citizens, that supremest lesson which those models teach: That above the glamour of glory and the spell of genius— The greatest greatness goodness is. Then shall the future witness in this Old Dominion a moral, social and political structure of such perfect grandeur as eye hath not seen nor the mind of man conc

length, and he never recovered use of it during his lifetime. He got an honorable discharge for the war, and I got a furlough June 5th from Chimborazo hospital in Richmond, for three months, with great joy at the thought of going home. Some Virginians charged immediately on the right of the Fifth. As we retreated we came to a long, wide lagoon in a ravine, back of where we began the charge. The water was three to four feet deep. In some way, unknown to me, I attracted the attention of one of those Virginians, a giant of a fellow. I knew he was a Virginian by his regimental designation on his coat-sleeve. Of his own motion he kindly and tenderly offered to carry me over that water. I thankfully declined, and said to him: I think that I can make it all right. He looked down at me and said: Oh, boy, get on my shoulders. And suiting his action to his words, he stooped down in front of me. I put my arms around his neck, he put his right hand under my right knee, his left holdin

nearly exhausted, Captain Booth providentially discovered General Pender's brigade moving to the firing, when that gallant officer promptly reinforced Colonel Johnson's decimated but invincible line (in much the same way that the First Maryland and Third Tennessee advanced upon, drove the enemy and saved Jackson's flank at First Manassas.) In this bloody battle of Second Manassas, Captain Goldsborough was severely and it was then thought mortally wounded; but careful nursing by hospitable Virginians in the Bull Run mountains restored him in time (in the latter part of 1862) to take the captaincy of Company G, Second Maryland Infantry (which succeeded the First Maryland), being shortly afterward elected major, under Lieutenant-Colonel James R. Herbert, who had been Captain of Company D, in the First Maryland. Under these brave veterans as field officers, with much active service, the new Maryland battalion soon became a magnificent fighting phalanx. This regiment was in the flank a

That artificial leg, Again—Mr. Ballard Explains how it came into his Possession—Letter from a Lady on the same subject. Accompanying this communication is appended a list of the Virginia Confederate soldiers buried in the cemetery at Arlington, Va. There are 264 Confederate dead there, of which thirty-three are Virginians. The list is that of the actual inscriptions on the new headstones. These inscriptions have been obtained from the Confederate archives at Washington, and are as nearly accurate as possible. They are to stand for all time. This list has been prepared with great care, with the view that it will find its way into the public libraries throughout our Southland. The new headstones are of the finest white marble, twenty inches high, ten inches wide, and four inches thick. On each one is inscribed the number
