the morning of the 24th of Oc
tober 1 left Chicago on the special
train which had been chartered
by the Illinois military park commls-
! «lon to convey the invited guests and
member? of the commission to Vlckx-
burg to dedlcaU the magnificent trib
utes which Illinois hau psld to her
soldiery who participated in that mem
orable elfjge, which has been consid
ered by all historians a« the most re
markable of modern times.
Illinois appropriated $250,000 for the
purpose of building one grand memo
rial and erecting granite monuments
upon the spot where her 79 regiments
were stationed in that long line outside
the fortifications of Vicksburg. The
commission entrusted with this great
work deserve the thanks of-the stute
and ot all loyal people for the magnifi
cent manner in which they have per
formed their work. It would be impos
sible to give a correct pen picture of
the Temple of Fame, whldh crowns u
high point near the crater of Fort Hill,
which was sapped and mined by Gen
eral Logan and his command, the ex
plosion making such a wide break In
the skillful fortifications of the be
leaguered city that the Union troops
led by the Forty-fifth Illinois Infantry,
marched Into the city of Vicksburg and
hoisted the American flag over the
state house of that city on the. Fourth
of July, 1983.
The surrender of Pemberton to Gen
eral Grunt was one of the most Impor
tant events of the civil war, because it
opened the way to the Gulf of Mexico
by lifting the barrier which hud been
laid across the Mississippi river by the
many guns which were mounted on
the river front of Vicksburg, called
exprexHtan* of patriotism than Illinois'
noble governor, Hon. Charles S. De-
neen.
The oration of Hon. Mr. Calhoun was
remarkable lu every sentence and re
plete with the spirit of brotherly love.
The masterful way In which he dis
cussed the vexed problem which the
American people are to solve for Amer
ican welfare claimed the.admiration of
all his hearers and must bear rich fruit
In the future.
The Temple itself Is the finest on the
globe, expressing artistically the ven
eration for the noble living and dead
who participated In the siege and cap
ture of Vicksburg. No Grecian temple
was ever more imposing In Its concep
tion, standing on the highest point
probably in the state of Mississippi, and
In the very. midst of this desperate
ntruggJe. Approached by marble steps
to the portico which udorns the en
trance, the Temple is niugnlftcent be
yend description. In the Interior, in i
frieze, just below the dome, chiseled
In marble, are the names ot corps, di
vision and brigade commanders who
distinguished themselves during the
siege. Beneath, around the entire walls,
are bronze tablets upon which are en
graved the number of each regiment,
thus Immortallsing the heroism of the
rank and file of that Grand Army.
It is understood that Mississippi and
Louisiana, whose troops defended the
city with such daring bravery, will also
commemorate the names and deeds of
these gallant men by monuments and
markers upon the ground which they
occupied. To those who have not vis
ited Vicksburg it would be Impossible
for them to appreciate what a magnifi
cent spectacle is presented, and it Is
to be hoped that every American will
visit this sacred shrine, where Federal
and Confederate troops have joined
hands across the bloody chasm, and
who will vie with each other In the
future in their loyalty nnd devotion to

Union soldiers could now greet the
Confederate soldiers and together go
over the ground where they were once

cerity and manly enthusiasm these
men, who fought so bravely for what
they believed to be right, were now en

Interest of one country and one Hag,
and who demonstrated their willingness
at any time to Join hands with their
Northern brethren in the defence «>f the
Union. There will never be any trouble
with the men who really fought and
followed the Confederate Hag to the

To gro-/ old la never an attractive
thought to a woman. Young ffirla
think of it as a dreadful goal, In a re
mote period; and matrone approach
that goal by gradual atepa, and often
arrive at Old Ladyhood Station wltlh-
out knowing It.
The Hrnt tlmo a woman hear* herself
referred to a* "The old Lady" Is add
o mark an epoch of sorrow fn her
life, which can never be forgotten. I
mean when the reference ta frank and
sincere, not Jocular.
Many men have the habit of refer

that only accent* the youth of a very
young woman, aa a grandma's cap
make* a youthful face more piquant.
But to be »etiou*ly called for the flret
time, In the term* of greatest respect,
"The Old Lady,” even with an endear
ing prefix, I* another thing.
Perhaps the reason for this feeling
so prevalent with both men and wom
en, this dread of knowing that they ate
regarded nk Old Ladle* *nd Old Gen
tlemen, I* not because the year* ifre

and women we know are, aa a rule,
terrible, so bitter In their Judgments,
severe In their Idea*, and *o lack
ing In sympathy with the very faults
nnd weaknesses they ‘possessed when
young. There are beautiful exceptions
—but they nre exception* to the gen
eral run, 1 fear, of elderly peopl*.
The following letter I* somewhat »x-
treme In Its accusations against old la
dles, but the writer has evidently suf
fered much at their hands, and his Ih-

came a tidal wave:
"Won't you please take the old la

a great deal, and I am amaxed and

ways.
"Isn't K possible to have put In the

"Old folk* are more trying than the
moat peevish Infant.
"They hate every one whoee Ideal on
religion differ from their own, deliber
ately misconstrue every good Inten
tion and positively crucify a young wo
man of good looks nnd animation.
"They are not lovable, they are not
affectionate, they gossip dreadfully and
their natures are mean and conniving.
This Is far more noticeable among old
folks In smaller towns.
“How Is It their religion has not

the face of the gigantic work which Is

and comfort to Individuals who come

The people are of our noblest blood,
warm-hearted, cordial, hospitable and

of endurance and devotion to the lost

MRS. JOHN A. LOGAN.
a good time when the parents are over
stern,
I recall only a few old ladles in the
list of all I have ever, known who seem
to me the Ideal creatures old ladles
ought to be.
Life wa* sent us, with it* trial* and
sorrows, and hardships nnd pslns. Its
Joys and pleasures nnd opportunities,
ns a school In which we are to develop
CHARACTER. The very foundation of
character Is sympathy, and the corner
stone charity.
How many old ladles or old men do
you know who possess this foundation
with Its corner-stone?
Alas and alas, that we can point to
so few. alas and alas, that ir> many
old ladles delight In gossip, and are
more cruel than the grave In their
Judgments of the young!
An old lady should be as attractive ns
an old tree. Her expression should be
one of serenity. If her nature Is full
of enthusiasm still, let It shine through
this serenity as the sun shines through
the haae of an Indian summer.
She should avoid aggressiveness and
overanlmatlon ot manner; and llte
ought to have taught her that repose
Is more forceful than nervousness.
She should have a modulated voice;
her words should soothe and strength
en the listener; they should calm the
passlon-tosaed aoula of the young who
come to her for counsel and sympa
thy.
She should he the Universal Mother;
every son and daughter she meets ap
pealing to her sympathies and stirring
the mother nature In her. Out of her
own sorrows; disappointments, losses
and despairs, out of her Joys and rap
ture* and triumphs and realisations,
she should have distilled a wonderful
elixir of loving sympathy, to give
thirsting souls to drink.
There must, too, be a humorous side
to her nature, that she may be able to
turn tears sometimes Into laughter; to
make the overserlnus person merry at
hi* own expense and to smile at his
own worries.
Hit* should be as chsrltable as-God
Himself; a* patient aa Time; as trust
ful as the Solar System, that leaves
Itself in the hands of Universal Law.
If life has n jt made her all this she
has lived In vain.
Has life taught you this?
Are you treating other women's
daughters ae you would like your own
treated by the world?
Are you an encouragement to the
struggling souls, a solace to the sad
onea, a strength to the weak ones of
earth?
If not, to what doe* your life of pre
tended Christianity amount, and what
will you say to the Giver of Life when
you are asked to "cash in?"
