Mrs. Judge Howe, of Toledo, Forsyth Re-
lief Corps correspondent a faithful worker and
an able writer, contributes the excellent arti-
Gle which takes the place, this week, of our
usual editorial introduction. The editor was

Relief.
We have an interesting letter on hospital
life at Memphis, early in the war, before the
Union army took possession of the city, by
Mrs. III. f. Washburn, member of Tod Relief
Corps, Youngstown, Ohio. Mrs. Washburn,
| who had seven brothers in the Union army,
was resident of Memphis when the war broke
out, aud it was over year before she could
communicate with her friends in the North.
She went into the Confederate hospital to nurse
the sick, rebel and Union, and so, if possible,
| learn something of friends at home. Mrs.
/ Washburn has promised us short series, to
! begin when Mrs. Harriet Dada Emens con-
cludes her wonderful story of woman's work
| in the war.

full for that season I; to be printed May 3d. and

Maggie Douglass. Braddock, Pa, would like
to know why THE TRIBUNE has nothing in it
about the Loyal Ladies' League to which hei
mother belongs, and which she viii join when
she gets older.
The answer is simple enough, as the Loyal
Ladies League has never sent as any thing te
publish. Perhaps Maggie's mamma viii send
US something. Her papa served three years
and three mouths in the 10Th West Virginia
and was twice wounded. She is ten, and ha:
four sisters and a brother
