Just across the bay, at Greenville, N.
j., below Communipaw, which in. these
days was rich farm district, the
friends of liberty found a safe haven
and the old mansion soon became
known as 'Retirement hall"
There, in 1850, Capt. Tom Brown, a
prosperous seafaring man, with a
heart kindly to the federal cause,
built his home; which IN war times
was a shelter for patriots, and. after
ward for. two generations was the
scene of many. political conferences
of Importance ard much social gayety.
It was grand mansion in those days,
with broad lawns down to the waters
edge, pretty gardens, trees and shaded
walks.
Although the walls of the house are
as thick as fortress and the building
would stand for many years, the rail-
roads are getting closer and closer to
it, and, according to the Little Chron-
icle, it will not be long before Retire
ment hall'' will exist only in history.

Latin, language and literature since
prior to 1860, and now occupies the

The Di..utea Name Of III. w.

known as the "war between the
states" This Is the name that Alexan-
der FL. Stephens favored, and 1t is the
one generally used by the people Of the
south In speaking OF that war, the
northern people calling 1t the rebellion.
Strange IL Ia that neither name is a cor
rect definition Of the event. ALI know
that there -as NO rebellion. States that
had sovereignty could not be guilty OF
rebellion. Neither was 1t a war be-
tween the states. but actually a war
between two governments made up Of
states. Some writer's call 1t a civil war,
yet It was not a war between citizens
In their civil capacity. but, as before
said. n war between regularly organ
lied governments. There Is, In. fact, no
concise way OF naming the conflict;
hence these misnomers. Possibly the
best title would be the simple one Of
calling 1t by the years of its beginning
and close-namely, the war OF 1S61-5.-
