rail if necessary. She was built in Eng land, and was the first steamship I had ever seen with double propellers. We found that she was indeed a Confederate ship sailing as a merchantmen with a small cargo under fictitious name, the Fanny and Louise. Though the sea was not rough and the voyage comparatively short I was again seasick, and how 1 did long for my Methodist preachers. Trying to cure myself by repeating some of their best stories would not work. None of them seemed funny, showing that in the cure l had discovered the preachers themselves must be on hand. I did recover, though, before reaching Havana and thinking my trip might prove 'eventful I commenced to keep a short daily diary in a little memorandum book, which still have, consulting it now and then when I get reminiscent and ruminate over those stirring but sad days.

watterson's Charming spontanelty.

Elitha Jay Edwards in Munseys.
 The instantly conspicuous charm of Watterson's editorial work is the spon- taneity which appears in it. Many of his leaders read as if they were written at midnight, under the stress of an awaiting press and were inspired by the latest news. Whoever has been privi- legged to see him in his office, bending over his table, as absent to every sur rounding as if he were hypnotized. even unconscious of himself. plunging with a rapid pen through sheet after sheet, each one of which Is to be hurled from his desk to the composing room-whoever has seen this needs no other assurance that Watterson possesses the gift of writ ing with the inspiration that comes spon- taneousy, and that his words flow hot from his brain to his pen, and through his pen to the paper, speaking his profound est thought with fine literary charm.

though a number of them were just out side of the bar. After staying several days in Galveston, then only small town, we were then sent by rail to Hous- ton, which was not much larger. While waiting for transportation to Shreveport some of us were most hospitably enter tained by the family of Judge Avery, who owned the famous Louisiana salt mines, at that time in the enemy's hands. I had a letter of introduction to them from Mrs. Newcome at Havana, and they made us feel as if we had reached home. Our trip to Shreveport was made by way of Navasota, and from thence by stage across the state of Texas. Our party, consisting of seven men, had a long, weary ride lasting several days, but our spirits were kept up by some of them, two in particular, Clifford Laner, now an esteemed citizen of Montgomery. and the late George T. Goetchius, who became a prominent Presbyterian minister of Washington, Ga. After reaching Shreve- port, the headquarters of Gen. Kirby Smith, who commanded the Trans-M sissippi department. l met an old col lege mate, Ernest Walworth, of Natchez. Miss, who was on General Smiths staff. He introduced me to the members or the staff and l was entrusted with the last dispatches sent by General Smith to headquarters, which were supposed to be still at Richmond. General Lees surren- der, on April 9. took place while l was in Shreveport, and the dispatches were, of course, not delivered The incidents of my trip with them to West Point, Ga, l have already given you in former talk to the camp.
 Let me close with a Confederate senti- ment: However expedient it may have been. the legal right of the southern states to dissolve co-partnership with those of the north was absolute. We recognize that it was Gods will that our cause should go down in defeat, and we have long since forgiven our friends, the enemy-especially those who did the fight ing-and we sincerely hope that those who controlled the conduct of the war, and of the reconstruction following 1t, have asked and received Gods forgive ness for their manner of carrying out His will. But
 Right is still right.
