Long.treet Trne tn Lee.

While General james I.ongstreet
was on his deathbed Mrs Iongstreet
was completing reply to the charge
made by General Gordon In the atter's
recently published memoirs that the
Confederates lost Gettysburg because
LOngstreet willfuly disobeyed Lees
orders. After stating that Gordon cut
no figure at Gettysburg and quoting
records 10 show Longstreet obeyed Lee
in every particular, Mrs. Lonsstreet
says:
General Longstreets operations at
Gettysburg were above reproach until
he came under the political ban OF the
South. by meeting the requirements
OF good citizenship in observation of
his AppomattOx parole He was her
aided as a traitor deserter Of his peo-
pie, deserter of Democracy, etc. In
the fury Of this onslaught originated
the cruel SANDER that he had disobeyed
Lees most vital orders, causing the
loss Of the Gettysburg battle and the
ultimate fall of the Confederate cause.
THE sectional complaint that he de-
serted the Democracy is about as rele.
want and truthful as the assertion that
he lost Gettysburg. He was a West.
Pointer and professional soldier. He
had never cast ballot before the
Civil War; he had no politics. The
war was over and he accepted the re-
suit fraternizing with all Americans.
1t was no great crime But peculiar
favored the conspiracy
TO make Lougstreet the long desired
for Gettysburg. The ont
rageous charges against Longstreef
have been wholly disproyed. Much Of
the partisan rancor that once pursued
him has died out. Many of the more
intelligent Southerners have long been
convinced that he was the victim of
great wrong"

THE END OF THE VISIT.

THE END OF THE VISIT
When her husband re entered her room,
the duchess took her pen in her hand,
and, bending over her desk, affected to
be writing. She gave no sign of being
aware of his presence, but her heart beat
fast, and she wondered why he had come.
She was not left long in doubt He
crossed the room quickly, came and stood
behind her with his hand on her shoulder
and said:
Barbara, said an unkind thing to
you just now. have come to beg your
pardon"
There was no GOODNESS in his tone. She
turned round quickly and looked up into
his face-there was no GOODNESS there
either. He had not come as a mere mat
ter of form. The expression of his lips
was soft and pleasant; true affection
was shining in his eyes.
Her heart overfiowed with grateful
wifely tenderness. She put up her mouth
hurriedly 10 receive his kiss.
Dear, you are too good to me-" was
all she said, and she was glad he could
not see those foolish tears which were
still standing in her eyes.

turned, with some slight secret indigna-
ton st the bare suggestion. 81 did not
ask her where she lived, and she did not
tell me, but am quite sure she is a lady.
Indeed. hut for the fact that you gave
me a list of your guests, and that I am

A sudden thought struck the duchess.

Ellsworth's Zouayes We're recalled a
few days ago to the minds of all who

days of the civil war. when 1t was an

Colonel Ephraim Elmer Ellsworth at

down the rebel flag, which incident
cost Colonel Ellsworth his life Mr..
Clausen came into possession of the

themselves all the way from Chicago

war broke out Ellsworth and his com

Ellsworth was commissioned a Colonel
and authorized TO raise a regiment

Old Hickory.

Many explanations have been given
as to the sobriquet "Old Hickory" as
applied to Andrew Jackson. There is
an older explanation than that sug-
gested by James Parton in his life Of
Jackson-that the title was evolved
from progressive adjectives, starting
with tough as applied to his endur-
ance as walker. In the early days of
Tennessee's statehood, Jackson, then a
major general Of volunteers, raised a
body of troops to put down a formula
bic rising of the Creek Indians. Dur
ing the campaign there was much suf-
fering from lack of food, and it is re-
lated that Jackson received his popu-
lar sobriquet Of "Old Hickory from
his subsisting on hickory nuts. with
the purpose Of inspiring his men with
renewed fortitude by his example, the
title also being a fitting one for the
tough" peculiarities Of his tempera-
