Trimble, (ieo. 11. Stewart, and others, added eclat t<i the occasion. The orator's subject was "Our Women in the War," which he discussed as oim* familiar with the incidents and literature of the late war. The subject recalls to mind the industry, enterprise and ingenuity of our Southern women in improvising and preparing edible dishes and potable bev'eraifos from such materials and substances as could be jo?t during the war as coffee from rye,; cracked wheat, chestnuts, Nco., &e., and especially their inventiveness in , r.. ..

The tribute paid them is, not si in | >1 \ complimentary, I >nt honorably deserved, and the spirit and determination of our wnmen in tlio war is boautifully illustrated l?v an incident rolatcd by tlx* speaker as follows* "The story is told of a yonnjf lady who was engaged to be matried. Her betrothed was, of eourse, in the! army, but suddenly returned home, j 'Why have you left the army?' she : inquired of him. 'I have found a substitute,' lie replied. 'Well, I i can follow your example, and find a substitute, too. Ciood morning.' And she left him in the middle of tho j room- ii discarded lover, because he j was a disgraced soldier." ~ * The war was sustained and vigor's ously prosecuted the lirst two or j three years because the women gave it their enthusiastic and earnest support, but as soon as they lost hope : and withdrew that support, the end speedily came in the submission of the Southern armies.

There inioht he two sides to the question of consistency. A few days a<ni the President had vetoed a hill appropriating $10,000 for the distribution of seed in Texas on tin* (/round that it was purely charity.
