iss Anna Lowell, now Mrs. Woodbury, with other Boston ladies, organized the Union Hall Association of Boston, which was formed to give employment to the wives of the volunteer soldiers. Among the ladies interested with Miss Lowell were Mrs. Oliver Wendell Holmes and Mrs. James T. Fields. These ladies took large contracts of army clothing at the government price, and obtained contributions of money from wealthy people, which enabled them to pay good wages to the sewing-women. Over 900 women wed from the summer of 1862 till the close of the war was in charge as lady superintendent of the Armory Square Hospital, Washington. Other women of Boston, hardly less active, were Mrs. Amelia L. Holmes, wife of the poet and essayist, Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes; Miss Hannah E. Stevenson; Miss Isa E. Loring; Mrs. George H. Shaw; Mrs. Martin Brimmer; Mrs. George Ticknor and Mrs. William B. Rogers; Miss Mary Felton of Cambridge, Mass., who served in the same hospital for a long time with her frie

officers of regiments and companies, and leaving to them to enlist the rank and file, who, as it has been said, are usually the enfants perdu of the world, men who have lost all taste for civil life, who are no loss to civil society. Such, doubtless, were the men who have composed most armies of the world, and such men formed a large part of the Federal army in our war. There were, it is true, in the first regiments raised at the North, especially in New England, such men as Judge Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., describes in an exquisite address delivered at Keen, New Hampshire, memorial day, 1884; men representing all that was highest in the Puritans alike of Old and New England. Such men, doubtless, composed Grover's New England brigade, which made the famous charge on us at Manassas, and no doubt many of the Western regiments were composed of the true yeomanry of the soil. But I rather think the composition of the Fifth New York infantry (Duryee Zouaves), as given in the history o

borne in mind that the act for which I retaliated was not done by an irresponsible private, but either by one or several generals. In 1886, I was invited by the G. A. R. in Boston to deliver an address before them. I accepted; my theme was Stuart's cavalry. Major Forbes, whose father, John M. Forbes, was one of the merchant princes of Boston, gave me a dinner at Parker's. James Russell Lowell, the uncle of Colonel Lowell, sat next on my right. Next to Mr. Forbes, on his left, sat Oliver Wendell Holmes, the Autocrat of the Breakfast Table. Here was an object lesson any one could understand. This has been written in justice to a great soldier who was my friend, as well as to the men who were actors with me in the great drama along the Shenandoah, and especially to the seven whose names are inscribed on the monument at Front Royal.

led at the outset, Virginia entered on the struggle others had initiated, for their protection and in their behalf. She thrust herself between them and the tempest they had invoked. Technically it may have been treasonable; but her attitude was consistent, was bold, was chivalrous: An honorable murderer if you will; For naught did he in hate but all in honor. So much for Virginia; and now as to Robert E. Lee. More than once already, on occasions not unlike this, have I quoted Oliver Wendell Holmes's remark in answer to the query of an anxious mother as to when a child's education ought to begin—About 250 years before it is born; and it is a fact—somewhat necessitarian, doubtless, but still a fact—that every man's life is largely molded for him far back in the ages. We philosophize freely over fate and free-will, and one of the excellent commonplaces of our educational system is to instil into the minds of the children in our common-schools the idea that every man is the archi<

al on the day after a lost battle. The pity that was felt in all manly breasts for this brave soldier in misfortune has been changed to respect for his memory and contempt for that of his persecutors. There were notable men in that famous battle from Massachusetts, Mississippi and Virginia. Colonel Devens was afterwards brevetted Major General, and was Attorney-General under the Hayes administration; Colonel Lee was brevetted Brigadier, and was Attorney-General of his State; Lieutenant Oliver Wendell Holmes, of the Twentieth Massachusetts, who was shot through chest from side to side, is now a Justice of the Supreme Court, and has delivered some good State Right's decisions; Captain Wm. Francis Bartlett, also of the Twentieth, became a General and lived for a time in Richmond, where he was much respected. Major Paul Revere, Colonel Ward and others also attained distinction. Mississippi sent Barksdale and Featherston to the House of Representatives and made Captain A. G. Brown, o
