and issue the call, for that he felt that in so doing he was but carrying out and, indeed, anticipating the wishes of the citizens of Richmond, who he knew would endorse any action of the meeting looking to the end in view. On motion of Mr. W. L. White, Judge George L. Christian was elected secretary. It was moved and carried that a committee on resolutions be appointed, and the chair announced the following: Major Robert Stiles, Colonel W. H. Palmer, Colonel Alexander W. Archer, Judge E. C. Minor and Mr. Joseph W. Thomas. Resolutions reported. The committee, after consultation, reported through Major Stiles the following: Virginia mourns the last of her great Soldier Triumvirate, Jackson, Lee, Johnston—all stainless; each one as good as great. Within a year after he drew aside the veil that hid the image of the God-like Lee, Johnston himself passed from us, and beyond that greater vale the three Christian heroes have entered upon immortal comradeship.

In memoriam. General Joseph Eggleston Johnston. The last but one of the six full generals of the war for Southern Independence (General Beauregard now alone remaining), General Joseph Eggleston Johnston, died at his residence in Washington, D. C., on the night of March 21st, 1891. His death excited profound emotion, and throughout the Southern States the testimony of regard in which he was held was touchingly manifested. Richmond. In Richmond, Lee Camp of Confederate Veterans led in t But the war between the States furnished the arena on which he was to display the great qualities of head and heart and soul, which alone fit men for the command of armies. The secrecy and rapidity of his movement from Patterson's front to Beauregard's support secured victory at Manassas.

great double act of soldiership and statesmanship, in the battle of Bentonville and the convention with Sherman. But not only did his comprehensive intelligence and his high-souled strength overlap and rise above the broad, high ideal even of the true soldier—if soldier only—but his heart and his affections were so rich and so loving that, even his lion-like masculinity could not banish from his intercourse with his family and his friends a tenderness that was absolutely womanly. General Dabney Maury says he kissed him upon both cheeks and then upon his lips when parting with him for the last time. It was one of his peculiar habits to embrace and kiss men whom he especially loved and trusted. He was not only affectionate and tender—he of the lion-heart and hammer-hand and body battle-scarred—but he was the most affectionate and the most tender of men. We crave the noble body.

That in his death she mourns the loss of one of the most noble and the most loyal of all her heroic sons. 3. That, so far as such final disposition of his remains can be harmonized with the wishes and plans of the General's family, the people of Richmond and, we are confident, the people of Virginia as well, crave the noble body

ce, and when dying he trusted the merits of the Saviour. In conclusion Dr. Goodwin said: Full of years and honor, he has gone from among us. As the Romans placed in the vestibules of their homes the images of their illustrious ancestors, that their children might be constantly reminded of their virtues, so let us place in our own Hollywood the body of General Joseph Eggleston Johnston, and over it place an enduring monument, that our children may be constantly reminded of his virtues and stimulated to copy his example. There beside the brave who followed him he will rest in peace, and the rushing river as it rolls to the sea will sing till the the resurrection his greatness and glory. Closing exercises. At the close of Dr. Goodwin's address Rev. L. R. Mason, of Grace Episcopal church, offered prayer. Captain Cunningham sang Some Sweet Day Bye and Bye, and the audience sang The Coronation and the Doxology. The benediction was pronounced by Rev. George H. Ray, D. D.

Profoundly imbued with these sentiments R. E. Lee Camp, No. 1, of Confederate Veterans, has heretofore ordered its hall to be draped in mourning for thirty days in honor of the illustrious commander, a member ofpared with Lee's last campaign.
