Florida Confederate Daughters Favor Rich

AT recent meeting of Martha Reid
Chapter, No. Io. Daughters of the Con-
federacy, of. Jacksonville, Fla, the fol-
lowing paper was read by Mrs. William
Maxwell and unanimously adopted:
1.-The museum of the Confederate
Memorial Association Library Society,
in the Davis mansion, represents from
Richmond's people alone over 10000.
which affo4ds fitting nucleus for that
other and similar museum, the battle
abbey.

grass chant a constant requiem over our
own braves. who so freely gave up life
for principle they knew to be right.
Virginia soil was deluged by the
blood of every Southern State. and since
each State cannot claim battle abbey,
surely Richmond is the most fitting place
for its location.
1.-The committee, consisting of onefrom
each of the Confederate States, will meet
in Nashville next month to decide where
the Rouss museum shall be located. Since
to Richmond is due the credit of original
ing the idea of the national museum, to
Richmond, the hallowed spot that held
the archives of the Confederacy. should
be given the preference. Therefore, belt
Resolved, First, That tits the wish OF
Martha Reid Chapter, No. I9, U. D, of c.,
of Florida, that Richmond be selected as
the most appropriate place for the loca'
ton of the battle abbey proposed by
Charles B. Rouss.
Second, That our corresponding sec,
rotary be requested to write ZACH chapter
in the State asking them to unite with
Martha Reid Chapter in giving preference
to Richmond
Commenting on this action, the Jack
sonville Times Union says: The action
of Martha Reid Chapter of the Daughters
of the Confederacy in declaring for Rich
mond as the site of the proposed battle
abbey. we are sure, is in accord with the
feeling of the whole South. But for the
aspirations of one or two cities, whose
sense of what is appropriate is overcome
by their ambition for distinction, there
could hardly be vote against Richmond
among old Confederates. F."

Words Wen Spoken.


Gov Chas. It. O'Ferrail, of Virginia,
voices the sentiments of all true Virgin
ians in the following manly response to
a suggestion that the remains of Wash
ington be removed from Mount Vernon
to New York:
ginia who would favor a proposition to
remove the remains of Washington from
Mount Vernon to any other place, it
would require the strongest electric light
to find him. for he would be hiding in
some cavern to escape the wrath of an
angry people. Yirginians will never
consent that the bones of Virginia's most
illustrious son shall be taken from Vir-
ginia's soil and from the spot he himself
selected as his last resting place. If such
thing were attempted, so intense would
be the feeling of opposition that believe
the people would be inclined to resist
with arms.
Virginia gave Washington to the
cause of Republican liberty, and it is as
little as she can ask that she may be per-
mitted to keep vigil over his tomb. If
he could speak the proposition would be
hushed forever do not believe that the
noble women who have so beautifully
and faithfully cared for Mount Vernon
would consider the suggestion for mo-
ment, nor do believe there is near rel
alive who would not frown it down.
Washington belongs to Virginia no
less than to the Union. and her right to
his remains is paramount to all the other
States combined. The proposition will
astound every man, woman and child in
this State"

A Horrible Crime.

The Hagerstown Globe of Friday has
the following account of horrible crime
committee upon the daughter of former
proprietor of the present Hotel Watson
in this place:
A horrible tragedy occurred at Viii
Transport about 10 o'clock last niggt in
which the son and daughter of two of the
most prominent and respectable families
of the place were involved.
Jack Lemen, aged 2a years, son of
Thomas J. Lemen, is charged with helm
Gus crime on Miss Lizzie Taylor the beau
tiful I7-year old daughter of William E.
Taylor, formerly proprietor of the Taylor
House.
1t is claimed Lemen called Miss Tay-
1or from her home on Potomac street and
walked with her to the vacant lot opposite
her house at the Lutheran church. Here,
it is alleged, he made indecent proposals
which We're angfily spurned by Miss
Taylor.
Lemen it is said insisted in his insulting
demands and threatened to kill her if she
refused. Miss Taylor said she would
rather die than submit. Enraged by his
passion he drew penknife and started
to cut her throat.
Constable Leo Thomson arrested Lem
en- and Justice John Q. Miller held him
in $500 bail. The Lernen family were
thrown into the deepest distress. T. j.
Lemen refused to go to bed. Mr.. Taylor,
father of the girl, was so enraged that he
threatened to shoot Lemen and he had to
be confined in room to prevent him
from executing his threat. The bail was
fixed later at $1,000 by the states attorney
of Hagerstown.

About one half of the population are

1t is the only country in the world
whose armies are provided with the Gras

Greece is more thickly populated than
any other country in Europe, with the
exception of Sweden and Prussia.

of the former are navigable and many of
the latter are fortified.
Its present boundry limits were deter

Constantinoble on July II, 1882.
Only about 10000 of the inhabitants
speak any other language than Greek,
and only about 10000 profess any other
religion than the orthodox.
The chief characteristics of the average

proved to be avery important source of
revenue to the combination of roads which
hitherto has had the exclusive benefit of

How sad the world when the heart is full of

Think what lovely flower you have
In heaven to bloom. l.. w.
