You have toasted one class of the La
dies OF kansss-an intelligent and charm
ing class-the lady printers. But
charming and intelligent as they are,
lady-printers are not the only :specu.
liar institutions" of Kansas. We have
one class Of ladies here, of whom all of
US are proud and have cause to be; a
class unrivalled since the days that tried
mems souls and woman's fortitude; a
class not only beautiful but brave,-as
fearless IN the field as they are amiabls
at home-a class who are first in war,
first in peace. first in the hearts of our
citizens. l refer to the lady-soldiers of
Lawrence. (Applsuse.)
When Lawrence was surrounded hv
large army of slavery propagandists,
who We're breathing out threatenings and
slaughter against freedom and freedoms
friends, forty ladies Of this city secretly
enrolled themselves as military company
for the purpose of fighting by the sides
of their husbands, sons or lovers as soon
as combat commenced. (Applause. }
This fact will never be forgotten as long
as freemen live, or poets sing in Kansas.
{ (Applause. And if two of the lady
soldiers were not present, would speak
Of thea as they deserve to be spoken of;
but | refrain from doing so lest the COM
pany might regard my sincere opinions
as the offspring of gallantry rather than
conviction.
Ipropose this sentiment:
Tie Lady Soldiers # Ls,Orence-With our
fairy brigade and intant-ry for us, We defy the
world and the rest of mankinl.n
Mrs. s. N. WooD was called for and
said:
There is response to that sentiment
deep down in my heart; but, like Yor-
ick's sterling. it "can'tget out" hope
we will ever merit the honorable title of
"the lady-soldiers Of Lawrence.
Mrs. BRowN was also called for, and
responded briefly and eloquently. Both
ladies were cheered vociferously.
On motion, vote of thanks was re-
turned to the landladies for their inter-
est in the affair of the evening; and also
to the officers. The ladies were also
thanked-frst, for being beautiful. sn1
secondly, for favOring us with the pres
ence of their beauty!
After brief and appropriate speech
by the President, the entertainment
closed, and the company separated to
meet again one year hence.
