Presbyterian general assembly resolved
itself into patriotic mass meeting.

Anglo-American alliance were vociferously

THAT the Presbyterian Church in the
United States of America indorses the wise
and patriotic course pursued by the Pres

by pledges TO him and to the army and

pressions of fellowship on the part of
British people in the present crisis based
upon the solidarity of the Anglo-Saxon
race and expressed the heartfelt desires
that all old animosides heretofore exist

rising tide of blood kinship; and that,
henceforth, the two great countries may

the coffin Of his dead master. Gen George
Washington. A true Virgbnian, Washing
ton was a splendid horseman; but he new
or settled his affection on any one horse.
Two or three times he lost his horses in
battle, ana on one particularly handsome
white horse. Dolly, his portrait was paint

None of his chargers weathered any
Eumber of severe engagements as did Old
sorrel and Traveller the horses of Robert
Il. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. Traveller
carried his master through nearly all the
battles at which ne commanded. was
never himself wounded, and in mourning
attended the generals funeral. It Is said
he whinnied sadly when the coffin was
borne before him, and shortly after in
grazing about his peaceful pasture he
stuck a nail in his foot and died of lock-
jaw. He, like Copenhagen, had honorable
burial, and, unlike most warehouses;, he
lived out his fun allowance of fifteen years
1t was on the back of Sorrel that Stone
wall Jackson received his death wound,
and the plucky little horse then passed
into the keeping of his masters father in
law, a clergyman. In 1886 he died a death
natural to venerable horsefesh after hav-
ing seen nearly ten terrible battles, and
his body, very skilfuny mounted, now
stands in a glass case In the library of the
Soldiers Home Virginia.
There are very few American children
who do not know that General Sheridan's
most noted black warehouses; was called Ri
emf. He, too, outlved all the perils of
the war not dying until 1876, when his
body was mounted, and can now be 7een
in the museum of Governors Island, in
New York bay.
Gen. Andrew Jackson was an ardent
horse lover, and three fine chargers were
always set aside for his use when he was
with the army. Tradition, however, does
not cay that he favored or loved any spe-
cial horse, but 1t does say that when his
men, exhausted and downhearted, were
making forced marches along the heavy
roads he usually preferred to leave his
saddle aid march with the soldiers.
Gen. Fithugh Lee rode the hand
soonest horse in the Confederate army
a thoroughbred mare named Nellie Grey.
But, spite of her beauty and her bold,
brave spirit, poor Nellie fell in the thick
of the fight at the battle of Winchester.

A members of the Royal Academy Of

Duke loved and petted to the day OF his
death. The last years of the faithful
horse were however sadly embittered by
The teasing Of thousands of curious per-
sons who came 70 visit him in his pad
dock and his groom would clip hairs from
his tail and name to sell for a few shiiiings
to the visitors. When the Duke heard Of
this he put Copenhagen in big cage,
where he lived at peace. His funeral was
well attended, and at Strathheldsaye his
