<h3>THE SCALE OF REBELS.</h3>
<p>When, at the finale, Lincoln reproved his own wife for using the
hackneyed expression of rebels, suggesting Confederates, as officially
accepted on both sides, a wit commented:</p>
<p>"The Southerners will be like the Jews. As a poor one is simply a
Jew, a rich one a Hebrew, and a Rothschild an Israelite, so it will
be rebels, Confederates, and our Southern brothers anew!"
