and to-day Judge Gould wearied of it, and in
reply to the side remark of Mr.. Davidson,
why didn't you rule that way yesterday"
said: This court has heard these insinua-
ions for the last time. As an individual it
can readily defend itself, personally; on the
bench, it is humble; but it has rights that
must be respected. These flying insults must
and shall cease"

Here is a quotation taken from
Miss Francis F. WilIards address:
At one time during the war, the
opposing armies lay idle close beside
each other, only the waters OF the
Rappehannock dividing them.
And every time the Union band
would strike up "The Star Spangled
Banner" or other strain sweet to the
boys in blue, a confederate band
would oppose it with ''Dixie," or
some kindred sentiment. Tired OF
the contest, both would subside int"
quiet. But one evening long bu-
gler sat musing ON the scenes about
the Northern fireside, where they
| missed him. Instinctively he placet
the bugle to his lips and piped alone
the mellow strains of "Home Sweet
| Home" Yet only moment did
| the dear boy play alone. His COM
rades picked up their instruments of
| music and shared bis reverie of home.
A moment more and, bark! what
note is it that comes over the swift
watersl Not "Dixie" now, nor other
discord, but the loved harmony OF
"Home, Sweet Home, that is al
ways the same all ronnd the world.
Then up and down each river bank
it sproad till, if tradition says right
all bands of both armies we're har-
monicusly filling the fields with the
blessed recoIlections that every man
in all those ranks had a home he
| loved and would see happy.
