THE CONFEDERATE REUNION.

Carrying with them the honors
and memories of a glorious past,
each man armed with that well
come which a Confederate always
receives from Southern hearts,
from the Valley Of Virginia, from
the plains of Texas; nay, from
all the broad Southland, the liv-
ing veterans of the thousand
fights that marked the downfall
of that greatest s'Lost Cause"
gathered and marched on New
Orleans and captured itlast week.
And right glad was the city to
be taken.
The old boys who marched forty
miles day with Lee and jackson
in Virginia and won couple of
victories on the way, were in New
Orleans to swap stories with the
fellows that gave ''double canis-
ter at thirty yards" at Shiloh,
Chickamaugh and other fields,
and then drove it home with
bloody bayonets. A larger num-
Der than ever assembled before
were at New Orleans for their
thirteenth reunion, and to each
and every one of the "boys in
gray" generous New Orleans ex-
tended a hearty welcome.
TWAS a welcome without alloy.
The key of the city was theirs.
The whole city was theirs, for
last week the Crescent City be-
longed to the Confederates.
The "closing scence" of the
big reunion was the grand parade
Friday afternoon. For the last
time many of the Confederates
marched shoulder to shoulder in
the greatest demonstration ever
seen in the South. There will be
other reunions and other parades,
but with each year the number of
marching Confederates grows
smaller, the pace slower. The
s'boys" cannot step as lively now
as they did in the early sixties.
-Four years of fighting, partly
on half rations, sometimes none
at all, with the ravages of camp
disease and shot and shell, and
their thirty-e eight years of strug-
gle to upbuild the glorious South,
all these things have gone togeth-
er to slow down the pace, whiten
