Received With Great Distinction. Tl ' wounds caused by the Civil War seem to have healed almost ef fectually when the widow of a Con federate here receives as much atten tion !iom a Republican president as she .ould possibly have expected from a Democratic one. iTesideiat and Mrs. Tiaft simply overwhelmed her ith the cordiality of thesr re ception. She was the guest at the preat banquet prepared fcr the judicial:-, but at. which many Governors ai'd scores of other distinguished visitor. were asked, and no ops pres ent was shown delicate atten tion and more nattering homage. From the nam be i less societies Wihich have bge vof the widows and cr r Van's of tile Southern cause Mrs. Jackson naturally could have antici pated much attention, and she re ceived it beyend the limit of her en durance. At the beautifully arranged reception, given by the Confederate Veterans and the Daughters of the Confederacy the scenes were most af fecting. Scarred veterans who had carried the standard of the South bowed before the widow of their chieftain and wept like infants. Ev 311 the young men were affected and the reunion, though full of joy for Mrs. Jackson, was also unutterably sad. The women of the Congres sional Club, and especialiy those frorr Southern Sxare?. asked permission to entertain her, but so great were the demands upon her strength tiia toward the end cf hr visit she was compelled to give up all social pleas ures except that of sesing an occas ional friend in Mrs. I.eiter's home.

This book Mr. Leiter considered one of the best ev er written on Jackson's campaign and he became interested in the au thor. He met Major Henderson in London, and Mrs. Henderson. and Mrs. Leiter became friendly. Mrs. Leiter invited Mrs. Henderson to come to Washington, and often urged her to accept this offer and make a tour cf the country which her dis tinguished husband had described so accurately from the strategic point. Last summer Mrs. Henderson wrote Mrs. Leiter that being about to vis it some relatives in Canada, she would accept her oft-repeated invi tation to come to Washington and that she would like to travel a lit tle in the South, and especially to pay her respects to Mrs. Stonewall Jackson. Mrs. Leiter, who received the inter est in the South as a Legacy from her husband, and who is not only pre serving the collection of books, but adding to it all the time, wrote Mrs. Jackson and invited her to come to Washington and meet Mrs. Henderson in her home. Mrs. Jack son, who had long been a correspon dent of the widow of the illustrious British historian and solldier, accept ed readily. Of her hostess' kindness and loving care during her visit Mrs. Jackson spoke almost in tears. All that a daughter could have done, all that a loyal' Southerner could have wished. Mrs. Leiter did for her dis tinguished guest, and with consumate tact she stood between Mrs. Jackson and those who would have entertain ed her far beyond her physical endu rance. Just before leaving Washing ton for her home in Charlotte, N. C. Mrs. Jackson expressed her feeling regarding her visit and the hearty welcome she had received: The Anticipated Visit. My life has been rather unevent ful of late years," she said. "So this visit would naturally stand out as something which will fill me with joy to the end of my days. But I could never have imagined though I did not think of it often oil my way and during my preparations for the jour ney, just what this visit would mean. Seeing so many of those whose nam es link the present with the past brought back old memories, hut all memories have been sweetened by the passing of time. I rejoiced in this great capital of )oay country that it is so glorious and prosperous and united. What the kindness of the Southerners meant to me may he well understood, and to feel that my beloved husband is embalmed in their hearts and his fame rests immortal in their love and homage is one of the things which makes life worth while. But equally did I appreciate the courtesy of those who have not the same reason to show me courtesy as the old Con federates of their descendants. It is very sweet to feel as I felt during ton. that all this loving kjndjisa lav- one. This old dog was about lo years old and had a black shaggy coat with a little white spot on the breast.

But to two little country girls, as my sister Eugenia and I were, it was the embodiment of all the great est city could hope. We knew nothing outside the country home of my fath er and the rural pleasures of that time, so it seemed that we lived as in a dreim- As guests of my uncle We were considered 'Cabinet lladies,' and we went to all the entertain ments of tiie time, and it was a very hospitable time. Dancing was even more prevalent then than now, but as a minister's daughter, I thought it improper to do more than look on at such fetes. Miss Filmore was hostess of the White House much oftener than her mother and she delighted in entertaining com panies of young people. I remember one evening in particular when a number of young girls were invited to the White House, my sister and myself and two other girls who were guests in my uncle's house, and one played so beautifully on the harp and sang 'Auld Robi.n Gray.' I never enjoyed anything more keenly. We had been taught kts of smart tricks in the past and was never known to run about or do anything mean. She seemed to love home as much a I do. I was im the cook room late in the afternoon Thursday the 24th, and this Annie dog was with me and I turned her out of doors to walk about for exercise not thinking she wculti get off and fail into cruel hands. The poor old pup want little too far from the house and couldn't smell her track back on the ice and got lost and cculfctoi't get back home. Now, they say she was mad and had fits. She might have been mad doubtless had ;ts after staying out all might in the cold snow and ice and falling into the hands of enemies. The next morning was enough to give anythings fits; blind lost, and "with no friends, but she didn't have hydrophobia and I don't believe it. I have been living in the Shady Grove communitj' for several years and I have never seen or know a dog in this commit niity to have hy drophobia. I have never seen one in all my life.

Even, those two his toric buildings have been enlarged and changed interiorljy from the genr eral environment until they seem as unfamiliar as the boulevards.the greal wide streets and the countless pal aces and mammoth public buildings and apartment houses." Stonewall Jackson left but one child ithe infant, born in late autumn of 1862, and to whom some of his most beautiful letters are "written. This daughter, Julia, called for his mother, married a young newspaper correspon dent of Richmond named W. E. Chris tian and left two children, a daugh ter, Julia Jacikson, and a son, Thom as J. Jackson, Christian. The daugh ter married Mr. Preston;, of Char Dctte, and accompanied her grand mother on the visit to Mrs. Ledter.
