Mr. Davis was then at Montgomery, Ala., the first capital of the Confederacy, and was besides, an Episcopalian, and attended, while in Richmond, St. Paul's Church, under the ministration of the late Rev.

He was seated in St. Paul's on the Sunday of April 2, 1865, when he received from General Lee intelligence of the intention to evacuate Richmond, and this incident of the Dies Irae of April 3, 1865, was doubtless the occasion of the lapsus memoriae of Mr. De Leon.

the starvation parties, where rank told nothing, and where the only refreshment that came in, that intoxicant — a woman's voice and eyes. Then came the Dies Irae, when the Southern Rachel sat in the ashes of her desolation and her homespun was sackcloth. And even then she rose supreme. By her desolate hearth, with her larder empty, and only her aching heart full, she still forced a smile for the home coming boy, through the repressed tears for the one left-somewhere in the fight. In Richmond, Atlanta, Charleston and elsewhere was she bitter and unforgiving? If she drew her faded skirt-ever a black one, in that case — from the passing blue, was it treason, or human nature? Thinkers, who wore the blue, have time and oft declared the latter. Was she unreconstructed? Her wounds were great and wondrous sore. She was true then to her faith. That she is so to-day to the reunited land, let the fathers of Spanish war heroes tell. She needs no monument; it is reared in the heart

Southern women in the Civil war. [from the New Orleans, la., Picayune, June 12, 1904.] T. C. Deleon's eloquent tribute to their courage. What they did for wounded and suffering soldiers. The Hospital offered opportunities for heroism. The great German who wrote: Honor to woman! to her it is given To garden the earth with roses of heaven! precisely described the Confederate conditions—a century in advance.

Secesson by the Virginia convention. The description of the consternation prevailing is not overdrawn; it pervaded all classes of citizens. A well-known merchant, of diminutive stature, armed with a gun on each shoulder, and a venerable and famous divine, armed with a double-barrelled shotgun, were with the frenzied throng, seen hastening through the streets to the defence of our loved city, and Main street in front of the Custom House, remained obstructed for several days with a quaint, French, brass cannon, a trophy of the Revolution, and of the reign of Louis XIV, which had been taken from the State armory, placed upon a wagon and drawn to the point at which abandoned by staid citizens, led by the whimsical Martin Meredith Lipscomb, a whilom City Sergeant of Richmond. The three heroes mentioned have been for years numbered with the dead.] There a crowd waited dismissal benediction; the men curious to see the new president at close quarters, and the men and women alike eage

All the churches were packed; the one where Mr. Davis and his family sat under the then famous Dr. Hoge, literally overflowing to the streets. [Mr. De Leon trips in this statement in his entertaining communication. Mr. Davis was then at Montgomery, Ala., the fil, where the dingy doors were tightly closed for peace, and where The great First Rebel point the storied past! Thence it surged into the throng without Dr. Hoge's church. That divine had never paused in his reading; Mr. Davis had never turned his eyes from him, and the two steadfast women in that pew had probably never looked upon a preacher with such strained interest. So only-by a look or gesture—Dr. Hoge had to silence the fear—born whispers. Then when the—surely not lengthened—services was ended, that congregation poured into the crowd without pressing close upon the narrow little lane that let the White House family through. Then it wa

Southern women in the Civil war. [from the New Orleans, la., Picayune, June 12, 1904.] T. C. Deleon's eloquent tribute to their courage. What they did for wounded and suffering soldiers. The Hospital offered opportunities for heroism. The great German who wrote: Honor to woman! to her it is given To garden the earth with roses of heaven! precisely described the Confederate conditions—a century in advance. True, constant, brave and enduring, the men were; but the women set even the bravest and most steadfast an example. Nor was this confined to any one section of the country. The girl with the calico dress, of the lowland farms; the merry mountain maid, of the hill country, and the belles of society in the cities, all vied with each other in efforts to serve the men who had gone to the front to fight for home and for them. And there was no section of the South where this desire to do all they might, and more was oftener in evidence than another. In ever

earsome than its needle-prick. Yes, these untried women, young and old, stood fire like veteran regulars! indeed, even more bravely in moral view, for they missed the stimulus of the charge—the tonic in the thought of striking back! Again, taking Richmond as an example, because Richmond was cosmopolitan and representative of every section in its phase—we find the strangest familiarity of women with danger. Indeed, it literally bred contempt. In the early occupation of the capital, Pawnee Sunday, scarce became a laughing by-word. The churches were crowded, and fluttering with expectant and well-dressed femininity. At that date war was a mere shadow of a name; and rigors had paled no feminine cheek, nor denuded her fluffiest gown or frill or flaunting ribbon. Richmond women were eager to inspect the flounces and furbelows of their incoming cousins. All the churches were packed; the one where Mr. Davis and his family sat under the then famous Dr. Hoge, literally overflowing to
