D. A. R. PAPERS. This is something of D

by the interesting papers on other pages.

by many who did not have the opportunity of
hearing them read. Mrs. Edward Sibley. Re-
gent of John Cochran Chapter, D. A. r., is al
ways interesting and gives an entertaining re
port of her attendance upon the State Council

day, that of Forestry, in a practical way, and
the paper on 1.-THE Beginning of American
Literature" is from contributor to The Jour-
nal for many years. Next week we shall pub
fish an essay on the give Great Battles of the
Civil War" that would have won the second

been provided.
