For twenty years father Merlicr had been mayor of llocreose. - When he married Madeleine Guillard, he had only his two arms, but Madeleine tousht him the mill for a dowry. His wife was now dead, aud he lived alone with his daughter Fraueoise. Merlier was a nne looking old man, a tall, silent figure, who never laugbed, but nevertheless he was gay at heart. He was chosen mayor because of his money aad also because he married people in SHCh handsome fashion. Francoise Merlier was ei^liteeu years old. She had black hair, black eyes, and fresh rosy color. Still she was not one of the beauties of th? country. The quiet ways 'of her father had mad> her wise beyond her years. If she laughed it was for the pleasure of others. At heart she was serious. Naturally from her position she was onarlT ei/lo 'Rllf whf?Tl l^;UL bCU \JL? 1 j tfivtw ^'?v .. ms.de her choice all her little world wondered. On the other side of the Most-lie lived a ?reat fellow named Dominique Peuquer. He was not of Hocreuse. He came from Belgium ten years before, as lb? heir of an uncle who owned a little ground on the edge of the forest of Gaguy opposite Merlier's uill. He had meant to sell his land and sro bacK. Instead he remained, charmed by the country?he said. Then he raised vegetables hunted, fished, and lay oil the grass and slept when other people worked. The peasants could explain such au idle life only by the suspicion that he poached at night. The young girls sometimes-undertook his defence because he was 200 I to look upon, supple and tall as a poplar, with blond hair and beard, th&? shoae like gold in lae sun. Now one Cue morning Francoise told her father that she loved Dominique, and would marry nobody else. Father Merlier looked as if he had received a stroke. lie said noLhmg, according to his custom, but he was silent j for a week. Fraucoise was silent also. I \ men one evemusj, tvimuuu us aujj thing, be brought Dominique to the house. Franchise too said nothing but made a place tor him at the table, and her smile reappeared. The next morning Father Merlier went to see Dominique at bis but; the two men talked together. No one knew what they said, but after ihat father Merlier treated Dominique as a son. All Iiocreuse was astouned; the women chattered greatly over the folly ot lather Merner. in tue miust 01 an iuis Francoise^and Dominique looked at one another with smiling tenderness. Father Merlier had as yet said nothing of marraige, and both respected his silcnce. . Finally, one clay toward tiie middle of July he set three tables in the middle of the court and asked bis friends to sup with him. Then when the quests stood with glass in band father Merlier, raisins his voice, said: "It is with pleasure 1 announce to ycu that Francoise is to marry that great fellow there, on the day of ,-aint Louis." All laughed aud drank merrily. Then father Merlier raised h'S voice again, "Dominique, embrace your liancee." Blushingly the two embraced one another, and the guests laughed still louder. When the cask wa3 linished and the guests gone, an old peusaut spoke of the war ths Emperor had declared against Prussia. "Bah," said father Merger, with the egotism of a happy man, "Dominique Js a foreigner, it doesn't conccwi him. If the Prussians come he will be hftre to defend his wife." The idea that the Prussians might come seemed a good joke. If they did come, a well-directed stroke on their flank, and that would end it. "I have already seen them. I have already seen them," muttered the old peasant in a thick, low voice. A moment's silence and they drank again. Francoise and Dominique heard ||^ nothing. They sat behind the others, hand in hand, lost in the shadows that no eyes coiuu pierce. A month later, on the eve or Saint Louis, the Prussians hail beaten the emperor, and were making forced marches toward Itocreuse. ' They are :tt Tormiere"; "they are at Xovelles"; thus each day believing that each night they would fall upon the village and swallow it up. The night before there had beeu an alarm; the women fell on their knees, and made the sign of the cross; then they saw the red trousers airi opened Am.-, f + *? <-*? ii 1?> r* H LUC11 VYiUUU?a. ill <1 i 1CIH,U ilt tachment, whose captain had remained at tne mill talking: with father Merlier. The captain went about the mill and studied the country with his glass. Merlier went about, with him and seemed to give advice. Then the cap tain posted soldiers behind the walls and the trees, and camped the detachment in the court of the mill. When Merlier came back they questioned him. Was there to be *a fight? He nodded his head slowly, without speak?nrr thoro ffdC tr? lip fl ticrht " lUf^, JL VC, wuv 4. ^ n UM WW vv ?.? U^M?. Francoise and Dominique were thru in the court and watched him. lie iinished by taking out his pipe and said: "Ah, my poor children, to morrow you were to have been married." Dominique, with tight lips and angry forehead, stood with eyes fixed on the forest of Gagny that he might sen the moment the Prussians arrivrd: Fran-' coise. pale and serious, w?-nt ami came, giving the soldiers what they needed. Tte caj'tHin was delighted. "You have a l'ortres-:," he Sdi-J, ;-we can hold it until evening. Th*-y are 1 tte." The n:iil-r remained grave. He saw his mill burning like a torch, lie did not complain. Thai was useless. All he snid was: ' You ought to nice the boat behind the \\h?'t-!. U may serve you." The captain w;-.s a line looking fellow. l'orty years cl.l. The sigh!, of Francois:* and Dominique pleased him. He seemed to nave iorgouen me approaching struggle. lie followed Fraucoisewith nis eyes, and his manner snowed thar. he thought her charming. Then turning toward Dominique, "Von are not in trie army, my boy?" *'1 am a ioreigaer," replied the young man. The captain viid no!- apptar to accept this reason; he smiled, Franchise was more agreeable company than a riile. Seeing Ui!s Dominique s ii?i: "1 am a loreigner, but ! can hit ao apple at live hundred yards. There is my gnu behind 3oil." "it w:li l>e ol use," replied the captain. Francoise approached tren'bliug, and ivuniiii.iiia tMf-.k- ht-r i,nnis in his with - , a protective air. The captam smiled again, but s ?id nothing. Seated there, his sword between his knets, his ey.s far away, he seemed !o dream. Then i!;c sound -.-i a liring broke the silence. 'Lhe captain sprang to his feet, the soldiers lelt the'.r plates f ?^up, aud ia a few seconds all were at ?.::eir posts. From the fort-st of (Jagny arose a slender thread of smoke. Ihe firing continual and ?rew heavier. Franchise arid Dominique clasped one another, screened by a high wall. A Jittir soldier behind an old boat, firing and hiding while he reloaded his gun, interested them bv his droll move* t . ,* i TU.,,. menis, uuiii uiey i<tuguru. iucu ao ? & raised h:s head to lire again, he gave a cry an1 rolled convulsive) v into a ditch. It was the lirst death. Francoise shuddered and dung to Dominique Hi nervous terror. 'Don't stay here," said the captain. "You are under lire." An oak- tree shivered overhead, but they did not move when the linng ceased and they heard only the ripple of the Moselie. Father Merlier looked at the captain with astonishment, "Have they finished ?" "Don't deceive yourself, they are preparing to attack. Get inside." ile had scarcely liuished when a shower of leaves fell from the oak. They f*ro?*j tnn lno-li n.^minioue drew J.IC4VA 1U VU lUV v -? x Francoise closer to liini. "Come, children, hide in the cellar. The walls are thick," urged the miller. They did not heed him, but went into the great room of the mill; here a dozen soldiers were waiting behind the closed shutters. The outposts had not be^rii driven ;n. The idea was to gain time. The liriDg continued; an o'licer reported. The captain drew oia ms watch. "Two hours and a half; we must de tain them four hours longer." They shut the great doors of the couit and prepared lor determined resitance. The Prussians had not yet crossed the Moselle. Then the tiring ceased. At high noon the mill seemed dead. Every shutter was closed, and not a sound came from within. Then the Prussians showed them selves beyond the woods of Gagny. As they grew balder the soldiers in the mill prepared to lire. "No," said the captain, "le' them come nearer." The Prussians looked anxiously at the old mill, silent, gloomy, with closed shutters; then boldly advanced. As they crossed the meadow, the officer gave the word. The air was lilled with the rattle of shots. Francolse clapped her hands to her ears. When the smoke had cleared away, Dominique saw two or three soldiers on their backs in the middle of the Held. The others had hid behind the poplars. The siege had begun. For an hour bullets rattled against the mill. From time to time the captain consulted his watch, and as a ball t he shutter and lodcred in the ceiling, he murmured: "Four hours. We can never hold out." Little bv little the mill yielded to the terrible iiring. A shutter tell in the water, pierced like lace-work. They replaced it by a mattress. At each round Merlier exposed himself to see t^e blow given his old mill. All was o\er. Never again would its wheel turn. Dominique lagged Francoise to hide, but she refused to leave him; she was seated behind an old oak cupboard that protected her. Then a ball pierced it, and Dominique, gun inhand, placed himself before her. 'Attention," cried the captain suddenly. A dark mass appeared out of the wood. Then a formidable lire opened. Another shatter dropped and the balls entered. Two soldiers fell, a third was wounded; he said nothing, but fell over the edge of the table, with eyes Qxed and stairing. In the face of the dead, Francoise, dumb with horror, pushed back her chair mechanically, and sat down oa the lloor, near the wall. ''Five hours," said the captain. "Let ns hold on. They are going to cross the river." At this moment Francoise cried out. A spent ball struck her on the forehead; soroe drops of blood llowed. liAminKiiic saw* it. Then ??oin<? to the window for the first time, he fired, lie did not stop, but loaded and fired, unmindful of everything eise, except when once lie cast a glance at Prancoise. As the captain had foreseen, the Prussians were crossing tho river behind the poplars; one too bold feel pierced by a ball from Dominique's gun. The captain, who had watched him, was astonished, and complimented the young man. But Dominique heard nothing. A oall struck his shoulder another bruised his arm, still he kept on. The position seemed 110 louger tenable. A last discharge shook the mill. But the oilicer only repealed: "U'e must hold it another half-hour." Now he counted the minutes, but kept his amiable air, smiling at Francoise, to rt assure Iter. Then he took a gun from a dead soldier and lired. There were now but lour soldiers leit in the room. The Prussians were on the brink. .Still the captain waited. An old seree:int ran in. "They are going to take us from the rear." The captain took out his watch. "Five minutes more, they cannot, get. here brforft.'' At six o'clock precisely he gave the order to retreat, and the meu tiled out the little door into the street. Before leaving the captain saluted the miller and said, "- vuiuse uiem; we nuiirtuiu. Meanwhile J)omimque remained alone ia the mill, still lirinp, hearing nothing, comprehending nothing. lie only knew that he mrst defend Francoise. With each charge he killed a man. Suddenly there was a great noise; the Prussians rushed in from behind, lie tired once more and they fell upon him with his gur smoking in his hand. Kour men held him, an unknown language roared around him. Francoise tell on her knees before them in sup plication. An othcer entered ana iook \ him prisoner. After some words in (iermuu with tin' soldiers he turned to Dominique and said roughly, m very good French: "You will be shot in two hours." This had been the order issued by the cowuiander-in-chitf ol' the Prussian forces, against peasants who might be found defending their lire-! sides.

"Yes, monsieur," she said, looking at him with surprise. lie added nothing, but 'urncd on his heel and asked tor the mayor of the village. Fraucoise took hop*, an J ran to llnd her father. The miller, as so.iu as the liring had ceased, went to look at his wheel. He adored Francoise, he had a solid liking for Dominique, his future son-in-law, but his wheel was dear to him.

Francoise found hi:u melancholy among the ruins. "Father," said she, "'they want you." 81ie was still weeping, and related to him what had passed. Father Merlier shook his head, "They do not. shoot people like that, I will go see." lie remil' uirli !i cil^nt m-Mf'H CULCiCVA LAIO 1UU1 IMWl ? able air. The otlicer asked for food for the men. Merlier told him that they would obtain nothing by violence, but if leit to him he would see that they got it. The oilicer was at lirst angry, but recovered himself before the few decisive words of the old man, and asked, "What are those woods yonder?" "The woods of Sauvsl." "What is their extent." The miller looked at him steadily. "1 do not know." Then we went away. An hour alter they brought in the leves of food. Night came on. Francoise followed anxiously the movements of the soldiers. Toward seven o'clock her SUlieriDgS were uorriuitr. one saw LUC I ollicer enter the room whers Dominique was conGned. lie stayed there a quarter of an hour, and she beared their excited voices. Then he came out, gave an order in (ierman, and a squad of twelve soldiers with guns ranged themselves in the court; she began to shiver; she thought she was dying. The execution was then to take place. The soldiers remained ten minutes. The voice of Dominique was heard in a steady tone of refusal. Then the oilicer came ou t again, banging the door. "Very well, reflect. I will give you till to-morrow." With a gesture he dismissed the men. Francoise remained stupeiied. Father Merlier, who continued smoking his pipe, loosed at tne me 01 men curiously; tnen taking Francoise tenderly by the arm, led her into her room. "lie tranquil." said he, "try and sleep To morrow will be another day and we shall see." Francoise did not sleep; she sat a long time on her bed listening to the noise without. The German sohliers sang and laughed. But what concerned her most were the sounds in in the room beneath where Dominique as coniined.. She laid down on the floor and put her air to the plank. She beared Dominique walk from wail +)ia cut I CU rtiuuun , OVLUCUinivyu WV ?.i* w v>w ?. . Outside all sounds at last ceased, the troops were asleep. Francoise opened the window softy and leaned out. The night was serene. The moon, setting behind the woods of Sauval, flooded the field which the shadows of the poplars harried with black. JJut Francoise thought not of the mysterious charm of the night. She studied the country; looked to see where the sentinels were posted. One only was in front of the mill. She could distinguish him perfectly, a great fellow, immovable, with his face turned upward, and with the dreamy air of a shepherd. When she had inspected the plase carefully, she sat down again on her bed. She sat there an hour absorbed in her thoughts. She listened again, not a breath disturbed the house. She returmd'to the window and looked out. The moon was down and the night dark, she could no longer see the face of the sentinel: the lield was as black as ink. She listened a moment, then climbed out of the window. An iron ladder, its bars lixed in the wall, ran from the wheel to the garret. A long time disused, it was overgrown with moss and ivy.

She stopped frozen with terror; then she rejected that the noise would cover her descent she boldly pushed on, tearing away the ivy with "her feet to uncover the ruDgs. When she reached Dominique's window a new danger awaited her. It was not directly beneath her own; she put out ' her hand and felt?only a wall. Must she then go back and renounce her project? Her arms were tirec1 and i rho cnnnd nf t.ho Mosplle he- i i low made her dizzy.

"It is I." she murmured. "Take me ! quickly, I fail." lie bent out, caught her, and lifted ! her into the room. She began to cry, but stilled her tears lest some one mignt hear her. Then, by a supreme : | ell'ort, she calmed herself. i ' You are guarded?" she asked in a ; low voice. : (COXCLI'DEL) NEXT WEEK ) L v IV recked.

Take any ol your bigire? t life insurance companies, or your r: biggest storehouses, or your biggest [ banks, or your bluest newspaper establishments and lei them have to build ; three times on the same foundation, and : it would cost them a strus^le, if not da- ' molition.

Do you eol thiuk she ou^ht to have waited till the Isrealitish host got clear over to Canaau before she struck her knuckles against t!ie timbrel or tambourine? Miriam! You do well to have the tambourine readv, but wait a little before you play it. You are not yet through the journey from iigypt to the Promised Land. You will have to T? 1 _ ^ /vt' I.Ihai.

Miriam! I have no objections to the tambourine, but do not jingle its beLs or thump its tightened parchment until you are all through. Ah. my friends, Miriam was right. If we never shouted victory till we got clear through the struggles ot this life, we would never shout at all. Copy the habit of Miriam aud Mose3.

Viwtm j v/vi\.uiubv time and place to hold a jubilee for the safe crossing ot the Red sea Is on its beach and before you leave it. it is awful, the delayed hosanas, the belated ballelulas, the postponed doxologies, the trains of thanksgiving coming in so long after they are due. It is said, do not rejoice over a revival too soon, for the new members might not holdout. Do not thank God lor the money you made today, lor tomorrow you might lose it all and more. Don't be too grateful for your good health today, for tomorrow you may get the grip. Do not be too giati about >o'ir conversion, ior ycu might fall from grace. J)o not rejoice too socu over a church's deliverance, because there might he diasters yet to come. Oh, let us have no more adjourned gratitude! The time to thank God I or a rescue from temptation i3 the moment you have broken the wine flask. The t'me to thank God for your salvation is the moment after the lirst tlasli of pardon. The time to he grateful lor the comlort of your berelt soul is the lirst moment of Christ's appearance at the mausoleum af Lazarus. Tae time for Miriam's tambourine to sound its most jubilant note is the momeut the last Isrealite puts his foot on the sand " '1 ' ? i *U .f *1^4 oi tne parted imanu ocean, ivi^; mai when (Jod's mercies have smh swift wings, our praises should have such leaden feel. Notice that Miriam's sou>: in my text had for its burden the overthrown cavalry. It was not so much the infatnry or Ihe men on foot over whose deieat she rejoiced with ringing timbrel, but over the men on horseback?the mounted troops! "The horse and his rider hath he thsown into the sea." There is something terrible in a cavalry charge. Vou see it is not like a soldier afoot, thrusting a bayonet or striking with a sword, using nothing but the strength of his own muscle and sinew, for the cav.ilrrmnn tn the a(.rani?th of hid own arm the awful piunge of a steed at full gallon. Tremendous arm ot war is the cavalry! Josephus says that. in thai h jsL Lhat crossed the lied sea there were 5O,0u0 cavalrymen. Epaminondas rode lato battle with 5,000 cavalrymen ond Alexander with 7,000. Marlborough depended on his cavalry tor the triumph at Blenheim. It was not alone the snow Lhat despoiled the French armies in retreat from Moscow, but the mounted Cossacks. Cavalrymen decided the batLies of Leuthen and Leipsic and Winchester and Hanover Courthouse and Five Forks. Some of you have been in -he relentless raids led on by Forrest or Jbalmers or Morgan or Stuart of the southern Side, or Pleasantou, or Wilson ? t 1 -1 - ? - rvf* ^ Kn nnvfh n IVlipUiriUK UL~t OUCUUUU ciav uuiwu ;rti side. The army saddles are the ihrones cf battle. Hurricanes in stirrups : ire the cavalrymen. No wonder that Miriaoi was chietiy ! grateful that the Egyptian cavalrymen, Pursuing the Isrea)ite3 down to midway .he lied sea, were uusaddled, unsiir- ! 'upcd, unhorsed. Miriam struck the center of the tambourine with the full orce of her right hand when she came , .0 that bar oC the music, "The horse and [ lis rider hath he throwu into the sea." j \b, my friends, it is the mounted irou- ( )les that vve must tear.

Boys let the irentlcman go." Jiui let me criticise Miriam a little for the instrument ot music she employed in the iJiviue service on the saady beac'j. Why not take some oib< r instrument? The harp was a sacred instrument. Why did she not take Lhatv The cymbal was a sacred iastiumeul. Why did she not take that? The Lruaipet was a sacral instrument. Why did she not uikt that? Amid that \jreat host there must have bee i musical instruments more used m rel'^iou* service. No She took that which she liked the best and on which she could lejt express her cratulation over a uatioQS rescue, first through the retreat ot the waves of the lied sea, and men turougu me ciappms; ol' the bands ot their destruction. So I withdraw my criticism of Miriam. Let every one take her or hi3 be3l mode of divine worship and celebration. My idea ot heaven is tbat it is a place where we can do as we please and have everything we want. Of course we will do nothing wi on g and want nothing harmful. IIovv much of trie material and physical will finally make up the heavenly world I know not, nut I think Gabriel will have his trumpet, and David his harp, and Handel his organ, j?.r>d Thalberg his piano, and tbe grca. ilorwerriun rwirfnrniMP his; viriiin an*"* \firiam 5*"" * j her timbrel, and as I cannot make music on any ol' them i think I will move around among ail of them and listen. 15ut there are our friends of the Scotch Covenauter church, who do not like musical instruments at all in de vine worship, and they need n >t Lave them. I tell Duncan aDd McLeod and Bruce they need never hear in heaven a single siring thrum or a single organ roll. We shall all do as we please in that radiant place if through the pardoning and sanctfying grace of Christ we ever get there. What a day it will be when we stand on the beach of heaven and 100K OHCK on me neu sea ui mis world's siu and trouble and celebrate the fact that we have got through, and got over, and got up. our sins and our troubles attempting to follow gone clear down under the wave;?. Oh, crimson iloods, roii over them and drown them, and drown them forever. What a celebration it will be?our resurrected bodies staudiug on the beach, whose peddles are amethyst and emerald and agate and diamonds! What a shaking of hands! What a talking over the old times! What a jubilee! What an opportunity to visit! In this world we have so little tune tor that. I am looking forward to eternal socialities. To be with God and never sin against him. To be with Christ and for ever feel his love. To walk together in robes of white with those witli whom 011 earth we walked together in black raiment of monrning. To gather up the members of our scattered fannies and embrace them with no embarrassment, though all heaven be lookiug on. Amine in Scotland caved in and caught amid the rocks a young man who in a few days was to have been united in holy marriage. No one could get heart to tell his allianced of the death of her beloved, but some one made her believe that he had changed his mind about the marriage and willfully disappeared. Fifty years passed on, when one day the miners, delving in tne eartn. suuueniy c;iiue uu tue uuuv of that young man, which had all those years been kept from the air'and looked just as it was the day of the calamity. Strong-, manly, noble youth, he sat there looking as on the day he died. Hut no one recognized the silent form. After a while they called the oldest inhabitants to come and see if any one could recognized him. A woman, with bent form and her hair snowy white with years, came last, and looking upon the silent from that had been so completely preserved gave a bitter cry and fell into a long swoon. It was the one to whom half a century before she was to have been wedded, looking then just as wnen 111 uie nays 01 meir youm their ati'ections had'commingied. iBut the tmotion of her soul was too great for mortal endurance, and two days after those who oO years before were to have joined hands In wedlock were at last married in the tomb, and side by side they wait l'or the resurrection. My lriend3. we shall come at last upon those of our loved ones who long asro halted in the journey of life. They will be as fair and beautiful?yea, fairer and more beautiful than when we parted from thena. L may b> old age looking upon chilihood or youth Oil, my Lord, how we have missed Ihem! Sepreted for 10 years or 20 years or ">u vears. but together at the last, together at thehst! Ju3t think of it! Will it not be glorious? Miriam's song again appropriate, l'or death riding on the p.-de horse, with his four hoots on all our hearts, shall have been forever discomforted. I see them now?the gloritied?assembled for a celebration mightier and more jubilant than that on the banks Df the Ked sea, and from all lands and iges, on beach of light above beach of ' light, gallery above gallery, and thrones ibove thrones, ia circling sweep of 10,XtO miles of surrounding and "ylieiVed . splendor, while standing before tnem on "sea of glass mingled with tire," i Micheal, the archangel, with swinging scepter, bf-ats time for the multitud: i nous chorus, crying: "Sing!

Cousideriug the unseasonable hour the uumberot people present at the depot was wonderful. There were probably one thousand to fifteen hundred of them, at least half being la'iies The ve erans had the place of honor, as they should have had. They were drawn up m line along the main track and were under command of Col J. A. Hoyt, president of the S irvivoi'd Association of this county. Beh'nd them were the two local militia companies under coinmaud of Col J. C.Boyd, of the 5th regiment,-the Greenville Guards Capt Smyth, and the Butlers, Cant 1 Alooney. iieuuui uie iwo lines were massed the general body of citizens. Governor Tillman sat in a carriage most ?,f the lime talking qiietly with triends. Adjt. Gen Far^.y was also presen . There was general disappointment among Greenviile peoule at the failure ol' Gen Capers to come here to join the train. The train was announced to arrive here at 1 o'clock and a large number ot' people were at the depul ut 12.30. The train caint in at 2.30 o'clock. Just before its arrival tbecity belis be gan lo toll, and as 1l rolled slowly to the depot in the bright moonlight the lines of veterans and men in the ercwd uncovered aud stood with bare i heads and in silence, while the militiamen presented arms wheu the train stopped, Mayor Ellyson, who was in charge of the train, appeared and was m<-t by Col Hoy t who said: "Greenville aud i's visitors, representing SouthJCarolina on this occasion have come to pay homage to the illustrious dead. The veterans of the South era L'ontecieracy are nere witn a iasi fond tribute to their departed chieftain. The mothers and daughters have come to lay their ofl'erings upon the bier of cur great leader, and a younger generation testifies that the principles for which he contended yet live in the hearts of Southerners. All these join insaviDg that the people whose destinies were directed by him (or four years of momentous history hold his services in loviog, grateful remembrance, and as his ashes are being carried 10 their final resting place they would emulate his devotion, which shrank from no sacrlfica and qua:led before no peril; and even at this un propitious hour-of the night the aged veteran and the irail, delicate worn in are nere to honor the memory of Jefferson Davis, the beloved chieftain ol the historic Southland." Mayor Ellysoc responded ia a fe* very brief words of appreciation. Oapt Mooney, Capt Stnytn, Col Royt, ExLieutenant Governor Mauldin and Lieut Richardson, ot'the Butler Guards, went into Mayor Eilysou's car by special invitation. Capt Mooaey, ia behalf of the Ladies' Memorial Association, carried a ma^oificeut floral device, crossed swords, to be laid on the Ex-tVesideut's bier. It was made with a palme .to wreath binding the blades, and wa$ thb work ot Mrs. William Wiikius. Capt Smyth, in behalf ut the Survivors Association, presen'ed a beautiful banner, a reproduction of the (Jontederaie battle flag in flowers. It was made of candy luft and verbena, French pinks dairies andteuerfew and was a wonderful product of taste and skill. It was the work ot Mrs J. E. Beattie and Mrs J. P. Miller, who had been requested by the survivor? to prepare it. Sergt Dargan, of the Greenville Guards placed upon the bier for that company a wreath of palmetto leaves, which were brought from tUs low couatry for this special purpose.
