Then came in all their beautiful simplicity and impressiveness the little girls, representing the thirteen Confederates States and Maryland. They wore badges of white with lettering of red, designating the States they typified. The little misses who wore these significant ribbons across their breasts were Katie Redford, Georgia; Lillian Meanley, Louisiana; Kate Hutcheson, North Carolina; Katie Chenault, Missouri; Rosa Franklin, Alabama; Sallie Redford, Tennessee; Ruth Cunningham, Maryland; Annie Paul, Arkansas; Katie Whitlock, Virginia; Viola Diacont, Mississippi; Virginia Wright, Florida; Bessie Diacont, Kentucky; Blanche Meanley, South Carolina; and Katie Schmidt, Texas.

arms after the sun of the Confederacy had gone down in refulgent splendor behind the hills of Appomattox. I take pleasure in introducing Rev. R. C. Cave, once a private soldier of the Confederacy,results of trial by combat, fancy that right must always be on the side of might, and speak of Appomattox as a judgment of God. I do not forget that a Suwaroff triumphed and a Kosciusko fell; that a her, I regard it as but another instance of truth on the scaffold and wrong on the throne. Appomattox was a triumph of the physically stronger in a conflict between the representatives of two essas never hesitated to trample upon the rights of others in order to effect its own ends. At Appomattox, Puritanism, backed by overwhelming numbers and unlimited resources, prevailed. But brute forirst her rights were assailed, the pen of the historian would never have recorded the story of Appomattox. It was her attachment to the Union—her unselfish loyalty and patriotism—which caused her to

e weak and defenceless. To their everlasting honor stands the fact that in their march through the enemy's country they left behind them no fields wantonly laid waste, no families cruelly robbed of subsistence, no homes ruthlessly violated. In no case, says an English writer, had the Pennsylvanians to complain of personal injury, or even discourtesy, at the hands of those whose homes they had burned, whose families they had insulted, robbed and tormented. Even the tardy destruction of Chambersburg was an act of regular, limited and righteous reprisal. The Pennsylvania farmer, whose words were reported by a Northern correspondent, paid to the Southern troops no more than a merited tribute when he said of them: I must say they acted like gentlemen, and, their cause aside, I would rather have 40,000 rebels quartered on my premises than 1,000 Union troops.

t the aspersion that they fought to uphold and perpetuate the institution of slavery. Slavery was a heritage handed down to the South from a time when the moral consciousness of mankind regarded it as right—a time when even the pious sons of New England were slave-owners and deterred by no conscientious scruples from plying the slave trade with proverbial Yankee enterprise. It became a peculiarly Southern institution, not because the rights of others were dearer to the Northern than to the Sed. When it became evident that this Union was to exist in name only; when its essential principles had been overthrown and trampled in the dust; when the spirit of fraternity had given place to a bitter feeling of sectional hostility; when New England speakers and writers were heaping abuse and slander upon the South, and teaching the people that they would be poor children of seven years disobedience to laws if they supposed that they were obliged to obey the law of the land which protecte

Samuel A. Foot, of Connecticut, when, referring to the debate on the admission of Missouri to the sisterhood of States, he said: The Missouri question did not involve the question of freedom or slavery, but merely whether slaves now in the country might be permitted to reside in the proposed new State, and whether Congress or Missouri possessed the power to decide.
