The dining-room, which has been given to Virginia, was utilized as a refreshment-room, and it was generously patronized. The ladies attended the table, serving the salads, oysters, and other delicacies.

It was an agreeable study of several things, including the faithfulness of the Southern heart, that this same crowd furnished. Gravity was
