Women KNIGHTS.

1t is not at all well known that
knighthood has constantly been con-
ferred upon women. Many English
ladies received the accolade and
many more were members of such
knightly orders as the Garter and st.
John. When Mary Cholmondeley,
the bold lady of Cheshire" was
knighted by Elizabeth for "her valiant
address," on the queen taking the
command at the threatened invasion
of Spain. did she know that whole
city of Spanish women, the gallant
women of Tortosa, had been knighted
for saving that city from the Moorsi
Mary and Elizabeth had both been
knighted at their coronation. but by

The Oldest ECO.

| Not so long ago party of explorers
members of the Archaeological society
of Mayence. found, during their exca
vations in the ancient Moguntiacum, a
hens egg which was estimated to have
been buried for something like nine
teen centuries.
Moguntiacum was built by Drusus,
the son of the Roman Emperor Angus
tus. in the year Ia b. c. Upon the site
of the ancient Roman castrum or en-
campment near the city the excaya-
tons in question brought to light
many interesting relics, including
some water cisterns of Roman make.
1t was in one of these, which was To-
Gated twenty feet below the ground,
that damaged Roman clay pot was
found containing the shell of broken
egg and also a whole egg that had
been kept from being smashed by a
shred of the damaged pot, which COW
cred it. The ancient egg was turned
over to the municipal museum.-Harp-

SECrIONALISM IN VIRGINIA. BY
Charles Henry Amber. CHICAGO:
University Of Chicago Press. PIP.
$40. $1.64 postpaid.


From the earliest colonial times
Virginia was a land Of sectional diff
ferences. which Influenced to an i'm
pOrtant degree the III of her his
tory. These differences and their re-
suits are treated in an able book by
Charles Henry Amber entitled Sec
tionalis1n in Virginia." Extensive re-
search in the archives at Charleston,
Richmond, and Washington, and the
examination Of numerous documents
have given the author material which
throws much new light on Virpinia's
internal troubles in ~te-bell days.
Within the boundaries of this State
live the conservative English Of the
Tidewater, the more democratic
Scotch-Irish ana Germans of the
Piedmont, and the rugged frontiers-
men of the Cumberland Plateau. The
same laws sheltered widely diver
gent religious sects-Anglicans, Bap-
lists, Preshyterians, Quakers, and
MennOnites. Among so many diverse
Interests it was natural that charges
Of unjust legislation should be rife.
! The frontier reVOlted a 1 the in
difference of conservatism. The farm
ers of the Piedmont objected to legis-
| latiOn partial to the plantation sys-
tenn. Immigrants from northern Eu-
rope found themselves out Of SYM
pathy with their slave-holding neigh
bors. One party favored breaking
with Great Britain-another demand
ed an undivided loyalty to the mother
country. uch was the state Of af-
fairs in the commonwealth that pro-
duced Washington, jefferson, Lee.
Madison, Muhlenberg, Pinckney, Nor
gan, and Patrick Henry-men des-
tined to rise above local dissension
and leave the nation q rich legacy
Of democratic ideals.
A strict regard for historical ac-
curacy marks the pages of sectional
ism in Virginia." Mr.. Amber has
divided his material into three periods
the first beginning with colonial times
and ending with Bacon rebellion
h second including the emigration
into the Piedmont, the Revolution
and the stitutiona Convention OF
~1S29-3O: and the third beginning with
the demand Of the Trans-Alleghany
section for u greater voice in the
State government, which led to dis.
memberment just before the Civi
War. Mr.. Amber takes up his topic.
