one when this blunder occurred. Refer
ring to a patent medicine "ad” in which
Lieut. Gen. Longstreet is called the only
survivor of that rank. Col. Saussy says
he does not think Wheeler or Gordon
were commissioned lieutenant generals.
Be that as It may, President Davis and
Secretary of War Walker both wrote me
that these officers were entitled to the
rank under which they were serving when
the Confederacy went to pieces, and this
Justifies their claim to be called lieuten
ant generals. Col. Saussy also speaks
highly of a "Life of Stonewall Jackson,”
In two volumes, by Col. Henderson, an
officer of the British army, who, he says,
seems to have aimed at accuracy of
statement and freedom from unjust preju
dice. In my previous mention of I for J.
It was possthle to have given other nota
ble instances, for example, Scharf s big
volume, “History of the Confederate
Navy,” has a picture of Col. Lloyd J.
Beall of the Confederate States Marine
Corps, unJer which Is an 1., instead of
a J. An old regular army register has
Col W. I. Worth, Instead of W. J. Worth.
Avery's "History of Georgia” contains
similar errors. All thi3 was to show that
such mistakes are not due wholly to news
paper ccmpositors’ hasty work.
It will be remembered that I paid the
Hon. Bridges Smith a high compliment for
his beautiful and tender reference to the
sword of Lee, and was sorry that it had
no foundation in fact. My old friend
writes me this nice little note of explana
tion: “It was an unfortunate figure of
speech of mine. * * • When I used the
words 'Lee drew ihe sword out of his
heart,' etc., I meant to say that It was
as If he drew the sword out of his heart,
so painful was it to give up the glorious
struggle. Do you know that a resolution
of thanks from a camp of veterans was
presented because some of the members
took It literally. We say, 'I lay my heart
at. your feet.' Why not 'Drew the sword
out of his heart?’ But It's all right. It
gave me an opportunity to know that you
were in ihe land of the living writing, as
well as you always did, and I am satis
fied.” I think I said that nothing more
beautiful and tender had been written of
Gen. Lee’g kupposed surrender of his
sword, and Mayor Smith's explanation
serves to make It more pathetic.
Writing to me of hla visit to Burgeon
T. L. Galt, of the Confederate cruiser
Alabama, then living near Uppervllle, Va.,
Mr. Murray M. Stewart of Savannah
says: “Two summers ago I spent two
weeks near Uppervllle, and met this
charming gentleman, who was practic
ing medicine there. He was full of the
Alabama and her brilliant career. At
the time of her battle with the Kearsargo
the doctor was her quartermaster or pay
master. with the rank—l think, of lieu
tenant. Before the fight he told me, he
had aent all the papers of the ship ashore
and they had been consigned to Edward
Trenholm & Cos., the then financial agents
of the Confederate government. But this
firm later went Into bankruptcy and he
had never been able to get hold of the
records or find out their fate. I have
written to some of our Liverpool friends,
asking them to try and ascertain the fate
of those pspers, but so far have been
able to get no information.

fired on the Alabama's crew while in the
water, so 1 asked Dr. Galt if It was true.
Me replied that it was not, but perhaps
some stray shots were tired. He was pick
ed up by the Kearsarge crew and treated
very kindly. In his opinion the Alabama
could not have done much more service,
as she was badly worn and needed exten
sive repairs. These could hardly have
been made in any port without drawing
to it a strong cordon of vessels from the
U. 8. navy, thus making her return to
active service impossible. She struck her
colors, however, and went down after a
gallant contest with a more formidable
foe." According to Mr. Stewart's state
ment, Messrs. Marmelstein and Anderson
of Savannah and Dr. Galt are all surviv
ors of the Alabama, end to these is add
ed Lieut. R. F. Armstrong, now of Hali
fax. N. S. It may be true that Dr. Galt
was acting quartermaster, as no such of
ficer appears in the list of Aug. 2, lSt>2,
but Clarence R. Yonge is recorded vs
paymaster, and yet 1 do not find his name
in the list of Confederate naval officers.
There are some controversies that the
"Tooth of Time” seems unable to masti
cate. Who wrote "All Quiet on the Po
tomac” and "The Homespun Dress” is
still unsettled; and who fired the first
gun at Fort Sumter remains a vexed
question; while the contest between llio
friends of >lrs. Williams and Mrs. Ellis
Is renewed as to which first suggested
"Decoration Day.” There were two claim
ants for the honor of suggesting the
"United Daughters of the Confederacy”
organization, but I think the Tennessee
woman won over the Georgia woman, an l
yet that may not end the contest. Now
comes Camp No. 9, U. C. V. Cavalry As
sociation of New Orleans and claims to
have first suggested the erection of a
monument to the noble and patriotic Con
federate women of the South. How this
last contest will end remains to be Been.
Since writing the preceding paragraph I
have seen the article by Mrs. Jefferson
Davis, In the Woman's Home Compan
ion for May, In which she gives the credit
of suggesting "Decoration Day” to Miss
Lizzie Rutherford (Mrs. Ellis), but her
article Is followed by one from Landon
Knight, In which the same credit la giv
en to Mrs. Joseph H. Morgan of Atlan
ta. Now, I have known MaJ. Morgan
and his estimable wife for twenty years
or more, and this is the only time I ever
heard that she was the first to suggest
Decoration Day. The credit was given,
almost universally, to Mrs. Charles J.
Williams, with a hint that Miss Ruther
ford assisted her. Mr. L. also saya
"the honor Is claimed by at least a dozen
different ones.” This is also news to me,
and I should be glad to see all these
claimants come forward with affidavits
to prove their claims. Mrs. Davis' ar
ticle has a beautiful photo-engraving of
"Memorial Day In Bavonanh." one In
which, It seems to me. friends can rec
ognize a hundred familiar faces, some of
which as quite conspicuous.
There can be no question of the ability
of Maurice Thompson, Just deceased, as
a gifted and versatile writer or bli loyalty
as a brave and devoted Confederate sol
dier from Georgia, and yet he tells us In
verse that he was glad when the Civil
War ended In the destruction of slavery.

“I am a Southerner; <
I love the South; I dared for her
To fight from Lookout to the sea,
With her proud banner over me;
But from my lips thanksgiving broke.
As God In buttle thunder spoke.
And that Black Idoi, breeding drought
And dearth of human sympathy,
Throughout the 6weet and sensuous !
South,
Was, with Its chains and human yoke.
Biown hellivard from the cannon's mouth.
While Freedom cheered behind the
smoke."
However much opinions may have dif
fered as to slavery, looking at both the
bright and dark side—for It had each—
when the wonderful industrial develop
ment of the South under free labor is
considered, few people, if any, would call
back the "Black Idol," referred to by the
Poet Thompson. Only very recently Gen.
John B. Gordon, In his lecture at Atlan
ta, gave forcible expression to this same
sentiment.
Under the head of "The Bravest Aro
the Tenderest," the Louisville, Ky., Cou
rier-Journal pays tills tribute to the G.
A, R. Post that escorted the remains of
Maurice Thompson to the grave: “The
funeral of Maurice, the naturalist and
author, at Crawfordvllle, Ind., was char
acterized by a knightly Incident. The
man was a’ Confederate soldier, and
though he did not die among the com
rades with whom he fought, full military
honors were paid his memory. McPher
son Post, G. A. R., of Crawfordvllle,
turned out In uniform, and escorted the
body of their former foe to the grave
with all the mourning ceremonies of their
organization, the same as though he had
been one of their members. This Incident
fortunately Is one of many that are con
stantly occurring to demonstrate the
complete reunion of the country. The
passions aroused by the Civil War have
been subeldlrlg for a third of a century,
and every now and then there comes out
such a flash of feeling as this, which re
conciles us to ell that has gone before;
It Is such a demonstration of the divin
ity that waits deep In our poor human
ity, but ready for the supreme moment
for one touch of nature that makes 'lie
whole world kin. The part that Capt. Tal
bot and Ms comrades of the Grand Artny
have played In this demonstration that
the wounds of the war have healed will
he greatly appreciated In the South, from
which (Georgia), Maurice Thompson
came, end for which he bravely fought.”
"The bravest are the tenderest, *
The loving are the daring."
I mall with this letter a poem sent ms
by the well known writer, T. B. Cathcr
wood, a Savannah soldier, now residing
near me, which refers In spirited verse to
the burial of Thompson by his old Civil
Mar foe*— now friends to all against
whom they fought. I am sure his old Sa
vannah associates will appreciate the fra
ternal spirit of the poem.
The Hartal of Thompson.
"A Confederate soldier, he died far
away from any of his former comrades,
but full mllltsry honors were paid his
memory by McPherson Post, O. A. R.,
Crawfordavllle. Ind., which turned out In
full uniform and escorted the body of
ihtlr former foe to the grave, with all
the mourning ceremonies of their organ
ization.”—Louisville Courier-Journal.
Here’s health to these men who wore
the blue,
From the heart of a Gray who faced
their blows,
In a cause that he felt was Just and true,
Like him now entombed by his honor
ing foes.
For I warrant you that in the days gone
by
These were soldiers fit for a soldier to J
face.
Such as we fought when blood ran high,
Millie, old chum of the dauntleea face.
These were of those who, many to one.
In the gloom of the days of our sore
defeat,
Bared heads In the shining of victory's
sun
And greeted the vanquished as brave
men greet.
Theirs not the cheer, the snarl of curs
Who sniffed but the battle's smoke
afar,
Who slunk from the fight with craven
demurs,
And sought but the bounties and loot
of war.
For“the brave and true to the true and
brave,
The meed of the true and brave ac
cords,
And the echoing depths of a soldier's
grave.
Repeat but the tones of honoring words.
Then a health to these men who wore
the blue.
From the heart of Gray who faced their
blows.
In a cause that he felt was Just and
true.
As did he now entombed by his former
foe.

ease in summer, want a resident tutoress
for the children tt would blanch with hor
lor the cheek of the old style story book
governess io hear the bold style In which
the college bred tutoress speaks up for
her rights. She Is, as a rule, willing to
take the children for Instruction Just so
many hours every day; her* own hours of
privacy and recreation must be respected,
and her salary Is Just about four times as
big as that paid In the days of Jana Eyre
and her sister helots.

Not often do the parents offer any se
rious objections or haggle over terms, and
they respect the simply dressed, dignified,
clever young women, who know their
value and their business. A wise parent
eets a deal of store by the moral and
mental Influence this type of Instructress
exerts on the children, and this year a
new requirement has crept Into the terms
on which a private Instructress Is engag
ed. This Is athletics. The tutoress who
can play golf, swim, row, ride, drive, has
a fine wrist for tennis, a good hand on
the tiller, and is not afraid of an auto
mobile. can get double the price given
her sister, who Is all fntelleotual fire, but
lacks In muscle.
Not only dees this muscular tutoress get
a higher price for her time and talents,
but. as one young woman who had a
good post last summer found out, she se
cures by her skill and brawn the particu
lar respect of her boy scholars, and en
joys a delightful social value, which,with
out her physical grace and outdoor ac
complishments, would never have fallen
to her share.
