subjected were the foot races during the Carn

forced to partake of heavy meal just before the

JACKSON WAS NOT HANDSOME.
General Jackson was the sturdiest type
of the American commOner--of the people
1t is simply absurd to say he was a hand
some man. Roughly built, with large
frame and little flesh; large hands, with
| prominent knuckles large feet. and UNI
| calmly walk, he was. from holding a pen
10 riding a horse, the awkwardest man
in the army. His voice was gentle in par
Tor or camp where he talked little; quick
and sharp on the field Of battle, where
he rarely talked at all, except to give
orders His small, blue eye was like a
little lake rejecting violets when IN re-
pose; in battle, as cold and cleaning as
that little lake when frozen and the vio-
let's dead. Full Of courtesy and infinite
politeness in his tent, modest to bashful-
ness in the presence Of a woman, he would
have arrested his grandmother on the
field of battle if she had gone wrong
Never laundering, he had little patience
with those who did. and was unjusty Sc
we're in his judgment Of them. So kindly
OF heart that it was necessary for his
staff to keep their slightest indspostion
from him Tor fear he would order them
off duty, he always seemed 10 me to be
merciless on the field of battle. In all
things he was a mystery to those who
knew him most intimately, as we'll as to
the world.
CONFIDENCE IN EACH OTHER.
General Lee seemed TO be born for a
life OF wealth and aristocratc. influence
Stonewall Jackson was built and consti-
tuted TO rough it. And yet there is no.
thing more remarkable I'm military his
tory than their mutual admiration and
confidence in each other. Jackson. speak
ing of Lee, summed Il up In curt way:
Il would follow him blindfolded."
General Lee, and the common soldier
alike, never had doubt Of Jackson. Many
officers Of merit, with stars on their col
lars had grave doubts. and OF times, in
fateful moments. would whisper, Surely,
old Jack Is crazy" No one ever heard
such doubts among the rank and file:
they never faltered in their faith and
confidence. They doubtless believed that,
like Joshua, he could have stopped the
sun If the exigencies of battle demanded
il; II he didn't do it, it was because there
was no necessity for it, as he and they
could get along without repeating old
miracles. When some one told Lincoln
that Grant drank too much whiskey, he
replied that IL he knew the brand he
would send barrel Of it 10 every general
in the field.
II any one ever ventured TO tell General
Lee that Stonewall Jackson was crazy, I
can see now the twinkle OF his eye and
the smile upon his lips as the "old man"
replied: Let US hope that this mar
vellous insanity may spread quickly and
become epidemic at all the headquarters
of the army"
Such was this wonderful pair OF sol
diers. This is not the occasion TO speak
Of either OF them further. OF him whose
birthday we commemorate tonight we
may say. in anticipation Of the verdict
Of history he was a soldier to rival MARI

so ludicrous that the Confederates and
Federals roared with laughter.
The lines were so close that the Fede-

SOME "REMINISCENCES.
Speech of Congressman Otey on
Lees DIrfbday
WashLngton. D. q. February 5. lsgs.

Washington, d. c.. February 8. 1898.
To the Editor OF the Dispatch;
One Of the most notable. humorous, and
interesting speeches made at the recent
banquet Of the Confederate Association in
celebration Of General Lees birthday was
that Of Representative Otey, of Virginia
1t is greatly in demand, and at the re-
quest of many friends a synopsis OF it has
been prepared for the Dispatch.
Major Otey followed Private John AL
len, and in his opening remarks said that
on the Confederate side 1t was always
dangerous to follow private, and as an
officer he knew of no more dangerous I'M
dertaking now than 10 follow Private
John Allen. Had he known that such was
to be the case he would have asked for a
leave of absence. He said 10 attempt TO
do justice TO such a soldier as General
X. E. Lee would bankrupt his vocabulary,
place his wits in the hands of a receiver,
and make a heavy draft on the patience
Of his hearers. He dared not attempt It,
but as a soldier would hang his KNAPP
sack only so high that he could reach il.
To have talk around the campfire OF
the ''old reber' would be his aim.
He spoke OF the love Of money being the
root Of all evil, and the fact that the old
rebels were freer from evil than any
class in the land was because they had
generally less Of the root.
He paid a tribute TO the Confederate
soldier, and said he loved honor and vir-
tue more than money. Said he: "Just as
/ mean no disrespect when / use the
word rebel (and l revere the name or
rebel, for we made 1t respectfully, so 1
mean none when use the word Yankee.
These were the terms used respectively
by each side sitting by their camp-fires,
and when the shock OF battle made each
respect the other: and want 10 say that

brious term Of any gallant soldier who
wore the blue as | am Of one who wore
