soldiers and statesmen who were on the
other side during the misunderstood
ing. Some time ago 1t had q brilliant
lecture from an Rdmirer Of StOnewall

MUS and career. On Wednesday last,
"Mosby, the guerilla" lsctured on Zeb
Stuart, the great cavalry leader of Lees
army, and 1t was both instructive and
amusing, especially In MOsby's personal
reminisceDCes,and the way he riddled ae-
cepted history. The next lecture, by
Governor Vance, Of North Carolina, will
be on political Feeling and Sentiment
in the South During the War" As he
is wit and an orator, it holds out rich
promise. There Is hint in this Boston
movement how some of our local Grand
Army Posts can reap both profit and
