pleasant chapter to the history of that
organization. There WAS large turn.
out of veterans and their friends, and al!
present spent one of the most enjoyable
evenings of their lives There was alb
solutelv nothing wanting 10 the conceP'
ton aud carrying out OF the programme.
The ladies' auxiliary societies had every
thing in readiness for The company and
they made everybody feel at home and
saw that each and every one had good
time. The menu was tempting and
showed superior culinary skill, while the
arrangement of the tables and the SER
vice could not have been surpassed
There were but two sentiments TO which
responses were made General Robert
f.. Lee and General Thos. j. Jackson"
the first of which brought to his feet
Senator J. S. @. Blackburn, one of Ken
.ncky's mos. illustriOus and able sons.
Among other things the speaker uttered a
sruth which appealed to all when he said II
was almost impossible to do injustice to
the subject assigned him, and said that
the great genius of the late Senator Ben.
Hill had been taxed to its utmost when
he had been called upon TO deliver AL
enlOgium upon the great chieftaiu. Sen
at0r Black burn, nevertheless, proved him
self equal to the occasion, and made a
number of original observations concern
ing the renowned Virginisn. Congressman
Champ CLARK followed in response to
the second "StOnewalP'
Jackson. After felicitous prelude
which kept his hearers in laughter, be
took up his subject in earnest and de-
IiVered one of the sblest eulogiums upon
lhis man of such remarkable genius.
Mr.. Cark's speech savored of the
classic, and was instructive and inter-
estiDg throughout. Both speakers re-
eeiVed well-merited applause. Col.
Beasley, of North Carolina. made some
appropriate remarks shortly before the
company adjourned. Congressman Ben.
ton, of Missouri, was present, but the
hour being late, he begged to be excused
from making a speech. Mr.. Benton on
previous occasions has made happy re-
sponses to toasis at Lee Camp, and had
he MT been debarred he would last
