GEMS FROM ALDERMAN.

president of Virginia's great Univer-

was he in happier mood than when at
Petersburg on the recent memorable
occasion he paid that matchless tribute
TO Virginia.
We would be glad to publish the
speech in its entirety, but this the
space at our command forbids, and
we must content ourselves with select
ing a gem here ard there:
Whenever men join ia tribute TO
other men who were willing to sacri-
flee themselves for conception of
public duty, the whole human mass

one may, with entire restraint, call

great trust, with headquarters in Lon

nodded approval
