patch for publication:

New Orleans. La, March H. Ie''
To All Comrades:
The general commanding invites al'e"-
tion to Circular Letter No. 14 from these
HEADQUARTERS. and deeply regrets that ne
cannot find it consistent with his views
TO comply with the request contained III
the resolutions passed by the Daughters
Of the Confederacy," at Hot SPRINGS
Ark. in November, 1885, TO limit the
number Of SPONSORS and maids OF honor
TO one of each from each division.
AS the veterans are fast passing away
and soon will be too few to hold re-
unions. even-handed justice demands
that these honors should be broadened
and extended so as TO reach, now Whiie
the opportunity offers, every one ~ these
noble Young women. even to the hum
best as they are all active WORKERS lor
ours and their beloved cause.
II is beautiful custom. and Is in keep
inc with the chivalrous spirit of the old
soldiers of the South; is elevating and
ennobling. and Is right from every stand
point that all the headquarters in the
association should have a sponsor and
as many maids of honor as desired; this
applies TO general. department. division
and brigade headquarters, and TO all the
camps.
Nearly every dollar of money which IS
required for help for the living, and for
care of the graves and monuments for
'our dead" is raised by the survivors Of
the glorious women of the Confederacy
and their descendants. these noble young
women. Nearly every act OF mercy and
nearly every good deed which Is done
can be traced to their loving and devoted
hands.
The general commanding therefore feels
that as they are called upon 10 fill the
posts Of duty they should also be given
tho posts OF honor
Therefore. he desires the original GUS
tom adhered TO OF the appointment Of a
sponsor by general. department, division,
and brigade commanders. and by every
camp. with as many maids Of honor as
desired. but with the distinct understand
ing that the Reunion Committee at
Charleston will only entertain and pro-
vide for one sponsor and one maid Of
honor from general, department, and di-
vision headquarters. as the expense for
the entertainment OF a larger number
would be too great for the Reunion Com
mittee to bear neither would there be
room upon platforms. etc, for any
larger number; but it is earnestly hoped
that all the rest will attend the reunion.
BY order Of J. b. Gordon. General Com
handing. GEORGE MoORMAN'

The committee in charge Of the Centen-
NAL Celebration of the state of Ohio
have hit upon a novel plan for the build
ing which will contain the fisheries ex-
hiblt. IT viii represent a gigantic black
bass with wide-open mouth. and through
this aperture, Jonah-likc. visitors will
enter to behold the piscatorial wonders
on exhibition. The structure will be built
on a massive scale. and it IS said that
1t will totally eclipse the famous Coney
Island elephant, which long adorned the
northern resort.
This elephant, by the way, was built
under the supervision Of James " LAT
ferty. who had previously erected several
buildings at the Centennial Exposition in
Philadelphia In its day the big wood IN
beast was an architectural wonder, and
steamboat passengers miles cut in the
ocean could behold the gigantic structure
looming up above the waters. The ele-
plant was l75 feet high measuring from
the ground to the top Of the band-stand;
220 feet long and 60 feet wide. with
capacity for 1000 people. 1t was destroyed
by fire a few years ago, and is now
greatly missed by strangers coming into
the harbor of New York The great hui
! morist. BIZ Nye. helped t. add TO the
| elephants fame by very amusing story
| of q hunting expedition. in which he mis-
took the building for live game and
stalked II with great labor and patience.
Lafferty, on realizing the success Of the
| Coney Island elephant. took out a patent
on the construction Of buildings in the
form of animals and fish. The patent was
| granted on the understanding that but
one similar structure had ever been erect
ed. Up 10 the present time there has been
no other. except a similar elephant built by
Lafferty at Atlantic City The exception
| alluded TO above was the famous Wood
| en- Horse of Troy. which has been vouch-
ed for by Homer. Virgil and others. 1t
| appears that in granting the patent TO
| Iafferty the government authorities did
not think this enterprising citizen was in
fringing on the rights Of the heirs Of
| Ulysses.
| Mrs. Lafferty Is now seeking 10 have
her husbands rights renewed. in order
that she may procure a royalty from the
| Ohio Centennial Committee.

In an article on North Cardinals pro-
posed suffrage amendment 10 her Con-
stitution, the New York Tribune says:
"That this amendment violates the
spirit Of the Federal Constitution and the
pledge given by North Carolina after the
civil war, there can be no doubt. Yet
there is. perhaps, no ground for expecta-
ton that It would be negatived by the
Federal courts. The success OF South
Carolina and other States in disfranchis-
ing the negroes by indirection points the
way to the Supreme Courts acquiescence
In almost any law which does not In set
terms conflict with the Constitution OF
the United States. no matter how plainly
il Is intended 10 disfranchse people be-
cause OF race. color. and previous condi-
ton OF scrvtude"
There is cold comfort. indeed. in this
for those who would have Congress ZEN
force the clause In the fourteenth amend
ment bearing on restriction OF suffrage"
The Tribune has evidently been studying
the decision Of the Supreme Court in the
Mississippi case.
