g at the principal restaurant. He added:— This saloon was to have been called Higginson Hall but the painter objected telling the proprietors that the other Colonels might take offence, so that immortal honor was lost. Instead, the proprietor is one of six (all black) who have made up $60 to buy a sword to be presented me on New Year's Day. December 28, he wrote:— We are busy with preparations for New Year's Day. My sword has come, but I have not seen it— it was selected by Frank Shaw and cost $75. This with my captured one and the one given at Worcester will be a memorial, when the war is over, of my share in it. After the presentation of this sword he reported:— Jan. 8, 1864. Did I tell you that after the New Year's Festivals, the little Tribune correspondent came to me for my wemarks (he is English, 3 feet high; and a goosey) and the inscription on my sword.

His admiration of the Shaw Monument by Saint-Gaudens, on Boston Common, led him often to revisit it; and on one of these occasions he wrote the following lines in his notebook:— Ever before mine eyes the beautiful pageant is passing, Colonel and dusky braves, who are marching onward forever, But for some inches of space, one trivial turn of Fate's arrow, I had been riding there, foredoomed to Shaw's glory immortal. Written beside the monument Jan. 25, 1902. Several of Colonel Higginson's poems were set to music, Sixty and Six, Vestis Angelica, and The Trumpeter, a poem he wrote after hearing the first two lines sung in a dream. Waiting for the Bugle had two different settings. One of his most musical poems written for special occasions was the unpublished one read at a small dinner given in Boston to celebrate Josephine Preston Peabody's engagement to Lionel Marks, Professor of E

They could not forget what they had heard, and what they had been surprised into saying. A true refinement had begun to work in many who had been slaves

The Phi Gamma in war. [from the Richmond, Va., Dispatch, June 12, 1900.] A Federal officer speaks of incidents of great struggle. denunciation of General Shaw. The speaker Condemns the utterances of the G. A. R. Man at Atlanta—Instances of Restoration of good will and Fraternity. A Virginia reader of the Dispatch, who heard Colonel James M. Wells, of Toledo, O., deliver an address at the fifty-second annual convention of the Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity at Niagara Falls, July 28th, was so pleased with the sentiments of the former Union soldier that he secured the manuscript and sent to the Dispatch for publication. The address will be read with interest by the thousands of Phi Gams of the South.

Shaw, of the Grand Army of the Republic, for his recent attack on the Southern soldier in a speech at Atlanta. Colonel Wells, by the way, fought under Sherm
