senator Daniel, has been stirred to

truly said that not since the death of
lee has there been more profound
sorrow experienced anywhere in the
south than i'm contemplating the
Jea,b of John w. Daniel. OF all
,besplendid qualities of this knightly

endeared him to the hearts of Nir-

memory of the days that tried
mems souls" and his advocacy of
measures of relief for those on the
Confederate side, who braved the
hattle's storm. Say what you may,

the North for mem of the South than

\ touching incident i'm my cx-

shortly before Major Daniel was
stricken. An article from my pen
on Lee In the Hail of Fame had
appeared I'm the newspapers and had
attracted the the attention OF Sena-
for Daniel. Seeing me ON the estreet,
