nd objects of the Association which we represent here to-day. Some time in 1874 the survivors of the Army of Northern Virginia, who had fought under Lee and Jackson, organized an association which should be commemorative and non-political in character. A few months after the organization of that Virginia Association, a branch division was organized in the State of Louisiana, which we have named the Association of the Army of Northern Virginia, Louisiana Division. This occurred in September, 1875. Since that time we have had three presidents--Major E. D. Willett, the first, Governor Frank Nicholls, the second, and Major J. B. Richardson, the third. Our objects, like those of our brethren in Virginia, are purely benevolent, historical, and non-political. Any man whose record is clear as a soldier in the Army of Northern Virginia is welcome to our ranks, whatever be his present political feeling. We have been very careful to exclude those applicants whose records were not clea

Durant, Henry Towle, 1822-1881 Philanthropist; born in Hanover, N. H., Feb. 20, 1822; graduated at Harvard College in 1841; admitted to the bar in 1846; and became connected with Rufus Choate and other celebrated lawyers in practice in Boston. Later he abandoned the practice of law to devote himself to the cause of religion and education. After a few years his plans for an institution where women might receive a higher education were realized, and Wellesley College was founded at a cost of $1,000,000. The institution was opened in September, 1875, and was maintained by him at an expense of $50,000 a year until his death, and afterwards was aided by his widow. He died in Wellesley, Mass., Oct. 3, 1881.

Mar. 6, 1873. and arduous struggle for the repeal of the ordinances licensing prostitution in that city, which ended triumphantly in April, 1879. On the so-called Labor question, Mr. Garrison thus expressed himself to a correspondent who had appealed for his aid in a movement for industrial reform: W. L. Garrison to W. G. H. Smart. Roxbury, August 18, 1875. Boston Globe, Sept., 1875. You ask me to consider the evils that now oppress society, especially the toiling masses, whose only dependence is the labor of their hands, and you seem to regard these evils [as] almost as intolerable and iniquitous as were those which characterized the atrocious system of chattel slavery. That society is afflicted with many evils that are to be deplored, and that ought to be removed, is undeniable; but that there is any analogy or Cf. ante, p. 204. comparison between the conditi

some incidents of which lave cone within his own personal observation. Notwithstanding his legitimate preferences for the cause he served, he has endeavored to preserve, throughout his narrative, the strictest impartiality. He has examined, with equal care, the documents that have emanated from both parties; and if his work be a reflex of the vicissitudes in the midst of which it was prosecuted, he believes that it possesses, at least, the merit of precision and sincerity.

It has therefore been agreed between my publishers, Messrs. Levy, and myself to grant to the translation, since it is to be publish
