Mru. T. Piucknev Smith.

The following short sketch of one of I.ouisiana's most faithful Daughters will be especially interesting to those of our organization who had the pleasure of knowing Mrs. J. Pinckney Smith in her home in New Orleans.
 Mrs. Smith is a native of Memphis. Tenn, the daughter of Miles Owen. Her mother was Martha Foster of Missis- sippi. Previous to her marriage she re- sided in Memphis Her father. though too ola for field service, was active in aiding the Confederate cause with his influence and his wealth. Her brothers were distinguished for their heroism and faithfulness. Her husband. J. Pinckney Smith, was an ardent Confederate from first to last.
 Mrs. Smith was active in organizing the New Orleans Chapter, No. P. then in or ganixing other Chapters in her State. and became the first President of the Louisiana Division, U. D. c. Her tnvi- tation, delivered at Wilmington. engraved on copper, together with her magnificent address in presenting it. will long be re- membered. Mrs. Smith has been a most efficient worker in important committees in the General Convention of the United States of the Confederacy. She was treasurer of the New Orleans Battle Abbey Association and largely by her zeal 5000 was raised for the fund; and when the people of Louisiana decided to withdraw from the Confederate Memorial Association that fund was wisely appro- priated for founding scholarships in New Orleans institutions of learning.

WOMEN AS ADVANCE AGENTS.
Theatrical Companies Find They Mike Good Heralds.

Women Have successfully invaded a new field of activity and as is usually the case with the sex, they are making success of it. In many lparts of the country energetic, intelligent women are much in demand as advance agents for theatrical combinations. If you want to know the truth about the matter" said a veteran manager the other day, there are hundreds of them at this time en- gagged in this kind of work. The women have been a little slow in waking up to the opportunities afforded along this line, but they have at last come to the conclusion that there is a good chance for them here and they are now taking advantage of it.
 Really there is no reason why a wo- man should not make a good advance agent and press representative for a theatrical company. No doubt she will get along quite as well in this field as the members of the sterner sex. She is plausible when she has an interest in the thing sh eis talking about. She Is smooth. awfully smooth when she wants to do thing. and generally knows just how to go about it. As a matter of fact. I believe women are more resourceful than men under some circumstances. They are more cunning at times. too You simply cant get away from her at times without giving her what she wants You may lie to her to get rid of her. but woe to you if you do. The best thing

uuncle Tom,s Cabin :"

It seems that even people of the North are adniring Southern women for their light against the production on the stage of Uncle Toms Cabin" and rather ap- nrove of their fearless stand. James M. Rogers, in an article in the Era Maga- zine, pleads for fair judgment. saying:
 And now I must ask the reader to hark back to the book a moment and see how much he can remember about 1t. I be- Iieve the rising generation still reads me book to some extent, but there are few persons forty years old who have not done so, and venture to say that few have read 1t since their youth. and that fewer still can give a very adequate ac- count of what 1t contains They remem- Der Uncle Toms brutal murder. the death of Eva, the pranks of Topsy and the flight of Eliza, but hazard little in say ing that most of them remember these things rather from seeing the play than from any memory of the book"

Historian Needed .

The following is the P. s. of a per sonal letter from Mrs. Jefferson Davis to Mrs. Harvey E. Jones, State Histo- rian:
 "P. S.-A Historian is sadly needed at every post in our country. Not only will our people not write but they will not read the testimony when others compile 1t for them and I fear the young people are growing up talking about the lar bitrament of the sword" settling great principles, which is balderdash of the most vapid kind Force settles nothing but the possession of a constraining power. Great truths are Gods own and man can not change them though he may suppress for a time their prevalence and utterance. It Is easier for the time to float with the tide, and there comes a time in our lives when we needs must submit to doing it when q "grasshopper is burthen," but it goes hard with me to do 1t, old and weak as I am."

The Merrimac.

The recent announcement in the Birm- ingham papers of the contribution Of number of little horseshoes made from the armor plate of the Confederate ram Virginia commonly known as the Mer- rimac. recalls the splendid achievements of this vessel, which revolutionized naval warfare. She was constructed by the Confederate Government out of the sunk en hull of the U. S. Government vessel Merrimac at Norfolk, Va. Clad in ar nor of iron and flying the Confederate colors, she steamed out of Norfolk har- bor on Saturday, March 8, 1862, and at once engaged the United, States fleet lying in Hampton Roads. She destroyed the Cumberland and the Congress, and the following day, after heated engage ment, drove the U. S. Monitor into shoal water under the guns of Fort Monroe. Further attempts at later dates to en- gage battle with the United States ves- sels proved of no avail, and she steamed back to Norfolk with flying colors.
 On the evacuation of Norfolk by the Confederate Army the Virginia was de- stroyed by her builders.
