of Ricketts, battery not shot to pieces
was captured on that bloody Sunday,
July q. 1881.
The addresses at the ceremonies were
representative Of all the departments Of
the government. Gen. Farnsworth Of Illi-
nois spoke for Congress, of which he was
a member. Gen. Heintzleman and Gen.
Wilcox spoke on behalf of the soldiers
who made the field immortal. The Rev.
John Pierpont. then in his eghtieth year,
wrote the dedicatory poem. which breathes
the same spirit as the one he prepared
forty years before. when the corner stone
was laid for the Bunker Hill Monument
and Judge A. B. Olin of the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia made
an address which impressed the specta-
tors for its eloquence.
The Rambler in reading the file of The
Star for June, 1865. came upon an account
written by a Star reporter of the trip Of
the guests from Washington to attend the
dedication of the Bull Run monuments
and this old account gives a picture Of the
country and the battlefields at that time

the Gnoyeton farm. where. In the second
battle. superhuman efforts had been made
to dislodge Jackson from his intrenched
position on the unfinished railroad. Both
monuments were consecrated by the same
ceremony on the same day, Sunday, June
H. 1865. ~
Lieut.. Round told the Rambler that he
knew beyond doubt that the first sug-
gestion of the erection Of these monu-
ments came from women. Two sisters
from the District of Columbia and two
sisters from the state of Pennsylvania,
with an aunt from Indiana. while visit
ing soldier friends in camp came to the
battlefield where youthful friends and
schoolmates had perished. AS surviving
comrades told them the thrilling story
these ladies became deeply impressed.

his mothers side he was descended from
the family of Robert Morris of the
American revolution. DR.. Henry was
commissioned a surgeon in the navy by
President John Adams and served on
the frigate Constellation under Commo-
dore Truxton. Their youngest SON. Lam
don Henry, served as a sergeant in the
United States Army throughout the
Seminole war and died in the service. of
yellow fever, at Key West. None of the
descendants of Isaac and Judith Henry
was in the Confederate service. Their
children living at the outbreak of the
civil war were Hugh and John. who were
both school teachers. Hugh lived for a
long time in the Henry house. which
was destroyed during the battle and
after the war rebuilt on a smaller scale,

battlefield with him. Mr.. Henry has
been dead about fifteen years. The place

At the time of the first and second
battles the GroVeton lands were owned
by Mrs. Dogan, widow with several
children. The Rambler had the honor
of an acquaintance with old Mrs. Dogan.
whose Christian name. as the Rambler
recalls it, was Lucinda. She has been
dead. something like ten years. Many

ner of the Groveton monument. and
these cedars, grown much taller than
the monument, are there today. The
shot and shell from the field. with which
the monument was decorated, have been
carried away. Tons of this battlefield
metal were collected and sold as junk.
There is a tin box in the corner stone of
that monument containing a number of
relics. 1t was close around this monu-
ment that at the time of the building of
the monument fifteen hundred skeletons
of men were collected and buried in one
grave-part of the railroad cut being
used as that grave.
A great many memories will come to
a man who stands beside these soldier
reared battlefield monuments.
The owner of the Henry house at the
time of the first battle was Mrs. Judith
Henry. She was bedridden and was
killed in the early part of the lighting
by a shell from Ricketts, battery, which
pierced the frame house and burst in
Mrs. Henrys room. Her maiden name
was Judith Carter. direct descendant of

correspondent has written to tell him that

Though the blossoms of most of the
climbing roses have waned or passed, the
Rambler feels, because of his sense of
duty to this subject, that he should re-
peat a conversation which a rose lover
poured into his ears few days ago. She
said:

Then Mr.. Dayton said:

the following facts: They are alternate.

while sometimes wavy-margined. are
never toothed or bristly; they are much
more deeply heart-shaped at the base
than are catalpa leaves. which have
their bases nearly square or only light

man, who is viscount and baron as
well as an earl who is decorated with the
Order of the Crown OF Prussia OF the
First Glass; and who is the honorary col
onel of two regiments of the regular
army as we'll as of two companies OF
yeomanry. So this narrative may be
brought to an end by telling one OF the
most amusing and characteristic stories
current about Lord Lonsdale.
A guest OF great distinction was en-
route to Lowther Castle and the spe-
cial train containing him was signaled
at the local station some time before II
was expected. AS there was no one on
the station to receive it. the anxious sta
ton master sent a hurried message TO
the castle to inform Lord Lonsdale of the
fact The latter. fearing that he would
not be able to reach tie station in time to
meet the train. sent back the reply:
'-Shunt him." And the unsuspecting
guest was shunted into siding and was
not allowed to arrive in the station Until
his host was there to welcome him.

forever mark the beginning of the great
war for the Union. These unique me-
MORALS were not shafts Of victory. The
brave men who built them sung not their
own praises. They inscribed thereon no
words of denunciation for brave oppo-

Lord Lonsdale has been described more
than once as possessed of "a spark OF
genius" as indeed he must be to be
admitted to such close pallyness with
the eclectic kaiser, whose guest he
generally is during the German army
maneuvers. True. he has his harmless
little eccentricities, and it would be sur
prising if he We're without them. for
he comes of stock which has not
been lacking in a crack-brained ad-
mixture. The first earl. "Jemh as
he was called, whose ehostly coach and
horses are still heard, but never seen,
on certain nights of the year. driving
up to the castle. had most curious
and poignant romance. He loved a poor
but exquisitely beautiful farmer daugh-
ter. but she died while stisl young. and
he had her body embalmed, so that he
might still gaze on her loveliness.
