The Negro melodies heard in camp, he sang with our little girl, going through the lively motions and gestures with great animation. Many organizations secured Colonel Higginson's services as president, for longer or shorter periods. Among these were the Appalachian Mountain Club, the Boston Browning Club, and the Round Table of which he was the first and only president, this office lasting for more than twenty-five years. Of one of the meetings of this club, he wrote to his sister, November, 1891:— Lady Henry Somerset was at Round Table and charmed all—short, square-shouldered, with a fine generous face, the simplest and sweetest manner and no cant. It seemed her mission to pour oil on troubled waters. Nothing specially dainty or highbred about her, but no English awkwardness or brusquerie. A most mellow voice of course. Later the Boston Authors' Club was organized through the efforts of Mrs. Howe and Colonel Higginson, they bearing to it during the former's life the

old people, those who have passed the time for self-support and have no relatives to care for them, need a helping hand. The Cambridge Homes for Aged People is a corporation founded in November, 1887, for the purpose of providing for respectable, aged and indigent men and women. The only part of this scheme in operation as yet is a Home for Aged Women, made possible by the legacy of the late Caroline A. Wood and other gifts, which shelters at present eleven inmates. It was opened in November, 1891. A Home for Aged Men and a Home for Aged Couples will be added to the work of the corporation as soon as adequate funds are provided by public-spirited Cantabrigians. The Baptist Home for Old People and the Rescue Home — the latter a branch of the Boston Citizens' Rescue League, not especially intended to help Cambridge-deserve such description as their titles may give, though it is beyond the scope of this article to treat of them more fully.

ing of the kind, but a part of a combined movement of the whole army. The criticisms of Stuart are all predicated on the idea that Gettysburg was General Lee's objective point; and as Stuart was absent from the first day's battle he must, therefore, have been in default. But General Lee was not present in the battle; he arrived just at the close. On this assumption a plausible theory was invented that the battle was precipitated for want of cavalry. In Belford's Magazine (October and November, 1891), in an article on Gettysburg, based on a study of the records, I demonstrated the error; and showed that General Lee never intended to go to Gettysburg, but that Cashtown was his expected point of concentration. General Heth, General Longstreet, Long, and others, had represented Gettysburg to be the stragetic point on which General Lee was manoeuvreing. They forgot that we had held and then abandoned it. Of course, when the base was knocked from under it, the theory fell. Who was r

maintain my communications, and therefore have to abandon them. According to Colonel Marshall he broke up his whole campaign trying to save them. The fact was they were not even threatened, and General Lee knew it. There was continued passing between the army and the river. 6. I deny that General Lee ever ordered his army to Gettysburg, as Colonel Marshall says, or had any intention of going there before the battle began. In an article published in Belford's Magazine (October and November, 1891) I demonstrated this fact from the records. Colonel Marshall ought to study them before he makes another speech. General Heth quoted. On the morning of June 29th General Lee ordered a concentration of the army at Cashtown, a village at the eastern base of the mountain, Hill's Corps was in advance; he reached Cashtown June 30th. That night Hill and Heth heard that there was a force of the enemy at Gettysburg; early the next morning Hill, without orders, with Heth's and Pender's Di
