ELOQUENT LECTURE
OF GENERAL GORDON

to encourage long stay. He then said,
impressively: Twenty months later
we made another visit when the war
was over and we came back to our
Fathers house to stay forever, no
longer with hostile banners waving in
defiance, but to rally round the old flag
made redder and richer by common
American blood"
He gave a ComiCal description of his
experience with Pennsylvania Dutch
man, whose favorite horse, worth
more as all dose voomans," he had
lost, had been appropriated by the
Confederate general. The Heroine of
the Susquehanna" he termed a Union
woman at WrightSville, whose house his
troops had saved from burning and who
fed the soldiers the next day beneath her
roof. He, fanCying she was a southern
sympathiZer, because of her courtesy
intimated as much. When surrounded
by the army of the enemy she bravely
cried: Your men saved my home, but
| am a Union woman. with husband
and sons fighting for the Union cause
which ! pray to God may triumph"
He hOnored her as he honored the
southern women in their sacrifice and
devotion. He found Counterparts in
both armies. for his own wife followed
his fortunes throughout the war, how
ering ever along the lines. often under
fire. and suffering with him the pri-
VatiOns of warfare.
The incident related of his own ex-
perience and that of Major General
Francis c. Barlow, of New York. was
interesting and unique. Each believed
the other dead. He had stood by the
side of the dying Union officer on the
field of Gettysburg and had taken his
last message to the wife, foes though
they We're. Fifteen years later at a
dinner in Washington, they both met
and were overwhelmed with the sur
prise, for Barlow had read the death
of General GordOn's cousin of the same
name and supposed it was the man
who had befriended him when he lay
dying, as it was thought at Gettys-
burg. General Barlow died but a few
months ago.

TRIBUTE TO MEADE.

A number of humorous incidents con-
nected with the eccentric General
Ewell were told and then chord of
sympathy was struck when the speaker
paid a magnificent tribute to General
Meade, of Pennsylvania. This noble
soldier, who was military governor of
Georgia after the Reconstruction Act,
once at a dinner, when northern boOr
refused to drink the proposed health
of General Gordon, sprang to his feet
and cried II drink to General Gordon,
once my enemy but now my friend"
a description Of cessation of HOSTILE
ties on the hanks of the Rapidan was
one of the most entertaining features
of the lecture. The two armies were
so close together that the piCkets would
not fire upon each other and much
Swapping" Of northern coffee and
southern tobacco went on. General
Gordon's own experience in putting a
stop to these civilities was given with
inimitable humor. Nowhere else in
modern or ancient warfare could such
condition have been possible.
So eloquent was the spcakers re-
marks that his beautiful tributes To
Lee and Stonewall Jackson We're re-
ceived with equal applause 10 the rev.
erent ana nttlnG references Ia Grant,
Hancock and other Union officers.
His dramatic portrayal Of the last
council Of war by the lonely bivouac
fire i'm TIE forest where lee was sur
rounded by his broken followers the
night before the surrender stirred his
hearers hearts and when the scene in
the brick house was described with the
great southern commander in his bril-
liant uniform-facing the Silent Man,
I'm that last pathetic act of the tragedy,
profound feeling was evidenced.
1t was a noble lecture from begin
ming to end, one that the youth Of
the land should hear, one that young
and oil are the better for hearing,
and IL is a pity that our High school
and I'm fact the children of this city
may not have the privilege of seeing
one of the few great figures of our
war history and listen to his impas-
stoned words.

Charlie is a Writer.

This weeks issue of the New

Gazette contains most able p
column article from the pen of
Chas. II. Lloyd, the bright clerk
at T. w. TroXler's store, assisted
as he tells us, by Nathan Mayo,
his contemporary across at the
Anti-Monopoly drug store. The
Gazette also has an editorial men
tion of the article and speaks of
it in the highest language.
The contribution was the re-
suit of a S25 prize offered by. J.
w. Tufts of New York for the
best essay on "How to manage a
soda fountain profitably," and the
critic says it is the best of the
sixty received. AS a more sub

the article, Charles will doubtless
receive the $25.
