NEW VIEW OF LINCoLNs DEATH.
In the assassination of Lincoln Mrs. Semple
traces a curious providence. ''You know"
she said, ''that at the time of Mr.. Lincoln's
death it had been agreed to reduce the rebel
lious Statesto mere military districts, but by
elevating Andrew johnson to the Presidency
the decision was annulled. The Vice Presi-
dent was a TenneSseean, born and reared in
the South, sent from the South. No man
could be a Vice President from a district nor
be a President except he came from State.
1t was this necessity that prevented these
States from being turned into military dis
trcts, and that saved the Union.n
A few weeks ago Mrs. Semple parted with
some of her valued family portraits, presenting
them to William and Mary College. The col
as the Judge on the bench, painted by War
rem; one of her father and of John Tyler,
a Governor of Virginia, with those of her
mother, Letitia Christian Tyler, two sisters,
and herself. In connection with the history
of this university Mrs Semple quietly ridi-
culed Harvard on its historical pretentions
and its celebration of an alleged two hundred
and fiftieth anniversary. This occurred dur
ing Mr.. Cleveland's administration, and the
President made the address. Said Mrs Sem
pie satirically: HThe Puritans landed at Ply
mouth Rock in 1920, and Harvard has 1896 cut
upon her foundation stone Now, do they
mean to say that in sixteen years these Pill
grims succeeded in subduing the wilderness
and savages and in founding a university
Then DIR. Harvard, whose bequest OF a library
became the nucleus of Harvard, did not die
until 1852 Would it not be well for the Har-
yard historian to produce the birth certificate
of that institution before they celebrate ain?'

APRESIDENT'S DAUGHTER.
CONTINUED from the Nintn Page.l

daughter of old Virginia dwelt upon the
ancient grandeur of her State, and reaffirmed
her loyalty to this discrowned queen. Touch
ing upon the war, she said with satisfaction
"My mothers family alone furnished one
thousand soldiers to the Southern Confederacy
They came from the East ard West, from the
North, and even from Europe to take up the
cause of Virginia. 1 had not one relative who
proved traitor to Virginia. But" she con-
tinued, "thc struggle between love ofthe Union
and love of the State that took place in the mind
of Robert E. Lee was a universal one in the
minds of Virginians What that decision
cost us only we who had to make it will ever
ever know. 1t was my father who came to
the Capital as member of the peace commits
sion, but when he was met by the reply, we
have our foot upon the serpent of slavery and
we will not go back until it is crushed he re-
turned to Virginia and to her cause, We be-
lieved that we had the right to secede. Why
was nothing said when Massachusetts, threat
ened to leave the Union during the trouble
over Texas? No one questioned her right to
go out If she wished. But" she said, 'let me
show you a picture of the real Confederate
flag, as very few persons know the difference
between the authorized flag of then and those
carried earlier in the war" And Mrs. Sem
pie pointed to small copy in oil of the flag,
a picture hung conspicuously on the wall
framed in narrow band of tarnished gilt. 1t
was white flag on which blue field was
crossed by star-sprinkled bars of red, but it's
popularity was broad band of red attached
crosswise on the free end. 'This flag" she
explained, ''without the red stripe was the
original accepted design for the Southern
Confederacy, but when twas displayed on the
masthead it was found that when the flag
was at rest the blue field was concealed, and
it appeared like flag of truce. To save time
and forbid any notion of a flag of truce, it was
hastily decided to add this red band;" and so
the painted shadow of dream hangs in my
lady's chamber, the ghost of a protest still
awake in her heart.
Among the incidents of the earlier days of
the war Mrs. Semple relates with pride the
loyalty of young Eugene Chapman, whose
father painted the Baptism of Pocahontas,
which now hangs in the rotunda of the Capt.
tol. The boy had been brought up by his
artist father almost entirely abroad, and when
the war broke out he was in Rome studying
art. When the news reached him he threw
down his brush and palette, cut loose from
the only life he knew, forgot his art, and
sailed for America. His father had taught
him that love for Virginia, and it was stronger
than all else

STORY OF PRESIDENT LINCOLN.
Mrs. Semple never knew Mrs Lincoln, but
speaks of her sister, Mrs. Platt, whom she met
in Rome, as Nmost charming and gracious
person. with none of the eccentricities attrib-
uted to the wife of the President. Then she
laughingly related an incident called up by
the mention of Lincoln which bears repeating.
An old family friend of the Tylers, Balti-
morean, had gone with the Union, and near
the close Of the war, during visit in that city,
Mrs Semple was a little piqued that her old
friend had not paid her visit 1t chanced
that the morning she was leaving they met at the
depot and she found that they were both pas
sengers on the outgoing train. The gentleman
made his excuses for his negligence on the
ground that he feared his 'Unionism'' might
have altered her friendship, and from this they
drifted into political affairs The gentleman
was an enthusiastic admirer of cold Abe"
and asserted the obligation under which the
South stood for his magnanimity. To this
Mrs Semple did not assent when the gentle
man said: ''If you knew Mr.. Lincoln as well as
| do, you would be sorry for him. Poor man,
all the comfort he ever had was in that little
boy Tad who died. Why, do you know that
his wife is the most violent person and that
she does not hesitate to box the Presidents
ears % The thought Of this great conquerer
submitting to such chastisement from woman
has caused this gentle historian to smile for
thirty years.
