''MY DEAR CAPrAIN:-The approach of
Christmas Festivities seems 4 time when it
is natural to think of absent friends.
To you and I, and all of ''the GOTH it is
not only religious and social, but patriotic
event. We celebrate it in memory of the
Christmas week passed at Chickasaw
Bayou. We now approach the S7th ami
versary of the time we crossed swords there
with our Great Enemy. 1t seems far enough
away to think over it, Invested of any feel
ing of the time. Looking at it now, sober
ly, consider it in point of disparity of
numbers one of the most remarkable battles
OF the war: although it is not what is termed
a decisive battle: still it drove the enemy
off the land, to their security the water,
and ended ngloriously to them deliberate
ly planned campai gn, with Grant and Sher
man, their greatest Generals map it out:
and to execute it.
Think of our thin line of scant 5000 OPP
posed to over 5000 requiring 70 transports
to move. Remember these oHfrio/
figures. Our position, naturally, not
strong If afforded US no advantage what
ever. Arthcially, our rifle pits were sole
reliance, and was labor of two hours
time. The pits held by the 10th on Sunday
were a f'-ab-although the necessity of the
situation compelled Gen. Lee to hold them
long they could be held With the
indomtable pluck that permeated every soul
of his command, must remember too
that General Uez'ey- nlaIt Il false
that chess board. Put all these facts toget-
hcr-was not the battle wonderful it
was glorious and triumphant?

because il is undoubtedly true that with
some players intense feeling creates ner-

injury. There is n little woman in this
chorus who is ambitious, intelligent and
capable of doing excellently in her chosen
field. but whose temperament forbids her
appearing to advantage. She tells me that

rather than the rule-dont you think so?

its identity. Five years ago an Episco-
pal clergyman of Elkton, Md. visited
the widow Poole at her home near
Elizabeth City, n. c., and looking with
interest upon the old fashioned but ex-
quisitely executed painting of a beauti-
fua lady that hung above the mantel in
her parlor, heard the story of its own
ership as related above.
Immediately following his visit in a
letter from Mrs. Poole, this clergyman
learned of a call paid Mrs. Poole by a
lady from Detroit, Mich, a descendant
of the Burr family, who had come to
Elizabeth City for the sole purpose of
examining the portrait. In her Mrs
Poole traced a resemblance to the fair
face on the canvas, bus she resolutely
refused the $500 offered for the paint
ing. After hearing Mrs. Poole's ac-
count of the manner in which she ac-
quired the painting, the Detroit lady
told a. story in turn.
With her mothers family in Detroit
had resided an elderly aunt, whose bu-
name instincts led her frequently to
jails, hospitals, etc. Once, when at
the Marine. Hospital, a sailor gazing
upon her face, had shown strange signs
of emotion. Calling her to his cot. he
related the fact that he had once been
with a pirate crew and helped to wreck
a schooner off the Carolina coast. He
then gave substantially the story of
the lady passenger and of the portrait
OF herself on board the vessel. This
incident had been preserved, along with
either traditions of the Burr family by
the Detroit branch, and its veraeity is
corroborated as is the identity OF the
Poole portrait by the likenesses IN the
families of the Alstons and the Burrs.
These later facts, presented for the
first time in the early part of 1885, in
letter from the Elkton clergyman to
the Philadelphia Record. apparently
form the connecting link needed to
round out the chain of mystery and
romance that has bound the name and
fate of Theodosia Burr Aston to the
events Of pretty nearly an even century.
