saying that he regretted not to be his
comrade in arms, but lie was a coihrade
in the gospel. Mr W Hiatus took for his
topic Gen Lee a*; a soldier, as a gentle
man and a Christian. On each of these
divisions he was forcible, eloquent and
interesting, portraying in terse sen
tences the character of his distinguished
subject. At the close of his brief address
calls were made for Col R P Chew, who
with some reluctance,rose and pud hand
some tribute to both Generals, compar

of Poe, Mr Williams spoke with felicitous
eloque nee of the great poet, whose cen
tenary is now rousing the enthusiasm of
a ‘‘listening world,” That the scholarly

abreast of the times adds one more voice
to the universal paean of praise to orator
and poet. Mr Williams was introduced

the University of Virginia in Charles
