rode in. took heed Of his erect car
riage He rode like an experienced cav
airy officer He seemed TO be a part Of
the animal Nothing but his white beard
and hair indicated that he was then
well past eighty years Of age.
Mr.. Bancroft was a man OF great cour-
| tesy and refinement, and they were dis
played when he made a gentle apology
to me for receiving me in his riding
clothes. He suggested that We walk into
his rose garden. which was at the rear
OF the house. saying that the early roses
were In full bloom and that he had a
great variety Of them which he would be
glad to show TO me. As We walked along
the smoothly arranged paths In that new
garden, Mr.. Bancroft said:
Il attribute my good health. my in
terest in life, in people and in the affairs
of the government to the fact that. when
the weather permits-and It must be
pretty severe weather not to permit-I
ride for an hour or two. These rides
intimately all the suburbs of Washington.
/ am very fond Of riding out on the
Fourteenth street road, especially in the
springtime. Then when l come home 1
spend an hour or two with my roses"
Mr.. Bancroft pointed to a rose to which
he had given the name of Everett.
That suggested to me to ask him II
he had often heard Everett speak,
He replied: Il have heard nearly all
nf fhnaa Whn Rainad daEarxtaA as
orators in the past sixty years, both in
this country and abroad. So am justi-
fed in speaking from experience when
say that in my opinion. as an orator pure
and simple. Edward Everett never had
a superior among the English-speaking
races.
Yet his influence was not very great.
He never said anything that took firm
hold on the people. And / think the
reason was that his supreme object was
not the mastering of those who heard
him, but the supreme mastery of the art
OF public speaking. He had a wonderful
command over words. l used often to
wonder where he got his elocutionary
training, for ! am sure that 1t was the
result Of diligent and constant effort. He
Possessed, too. a singularly pure and re-
fined style, and / never knew exactly
where he got that He was a fine scholar.
and there are the earmarks of the stu
dent in all OF his orations He was a
supreme actor, also. and We never had
before him. and l presume never shaS
again have, such a master Of the art Of
acting in public discourse Yet few, IL
any, OF his speeches are now read, and
you rarely see a quotation from any OF
them printed anywhere"

Fifty years ago today Co. John 3.
Mosby, the famous Confederate ranger,
received a severe wound and narrowly
escaped death, at the hands OF a Fed
eral cavalry private, near Fairfax
Courthouse, fifteen miles from Washing
ton.
Mosby had been operating with his
small band of followers between the
Blue Ridge and the outskirts Of the Ma
tional capiIal for more than two years,
and this was his first serious wound.
His escapes in that time would furnish
a surfeit Of material for the writer of
adventure. Like the hero OF romance.
he seemed TO bear a charmed life. lie
also seemed able 10 appear in two places
at once. II one may Judge from the re-
ports concerning him in the sober pages
Of the War Records,
Mosby's immunity from harm or cap
ture seemed TO affect the Judgment Of
his enemies as 10 his powers. They in
vested him with the character OF Jack
Sheppard. and every cavalry patrol in
the country between Washington and
the Blue Ridge was prepared at every
turn in their road to see him start up
from the roadside thicket and by some
art secure an advantage over them.
Reports Of such a character as one to
the effect that Mosby rode under the
black flag were accepted by the credu-
Ious public in rumors from the front.
Statements that Mosby's men were rob-
bers, murderers and scoundrels passed
current daily in the Northern press.
The foundation for these ideas and
statements was to be found in the ir-
regular character OF Mosby's method of
making war He was an independent
commander. and his men lived on their
pIunder. Yet he was commissioned by
the Conferedate government as a Par
tisan Ranger. and his prisoners were
sent to Richmond, as were those Of the
rC ,;ular Confederate forces.
Two Parties Seek MOsby.
By lodging back and forth through
the passes Of the Blue Ridge, Mosby
was enabled TO operate almost at will in
the rear of the Federal army in the
Valley and in the region
about Washington.
His attacks on Gen. Sheridan's wagon
trains and pickets in the Valley, and
upon camps, pickets and couriers in
Fairfax and Loudoun counties. led to q
persistent search for him by cavalry
sent out both from the forces in the
Valley and those near the capital.
Owing to Mosby's method Of splitting
his command into small groups this
search was extremely difficult. The in
