One by one they pass away. Smooth his locks out softly comrades; Close his eyes, now dim, but true; Kiss him for the child that's absent, Bid him for that son adieu! With your tender hands, dear comrade Place him gently 'Death the sod? Like a soldier leave him resting On his armor, with his God! Let him rest! The boom of cannon, Nor the battle's stern array. Rushing squadrons ne'er disturb him Til! thp crreat reunion dav! W ? CJ"~ - v Let him rest! How oft he's answered t To the bugle's wakening call! "Let him rest!" the captain sayetb; One by one the veterans fall! Let him rest! The battle's blue smoke Curling not o'er him loom. Take the tatter'd fl?g he loved so? Comrades, place it o'er his tomb! Let him rest! 'Tis one more veteran, Weary, worn-out by the way! Comrades, place him down, 0 gently One by one they pass away! > THE SOLDIERS IN GREY. Parade in Dallas Was an Inspiration to Sons of Veterans. Witnessed by Many Thousands?Gen. Gordon Received an Ovation and Was Later Captured by Loving Maidens. "Dallas. Tex. Anril 24?With one of the greatest parades ever held at a Confederate reunion passed into history, Dallas tonight bid goodbye to thousands of her visitors. As fast as they could be handled every railroad entering the city is sending out trains laden with fatigued but satislied veterans and their friends and the ordinary visitor who was drawn fce^e by curiosity. THE GRAND KALIPH'S BALL. This evening the beauty and chivalry of the south represented here gathered at Camp JohnstoD, where the grand Kaliph's ball was held. Occasionally in the whirling maze of the dance, doing his best among the younger people, a veteran could be seen dancing with some laughing sponsor or maid of honor. But the old soldiers generally stayed in the seats surrounding the floor. Tfle Kaliphates in their costumes gave the scene at times a bizare cast and afforded considerable amusement. The grand march was led by the Xaliph and his queen whom later in the evening he crowned with elaborate ceremony. A reception to Gen. Gordon at Episcopal college was the social feature of the day. Here the commander in chief, bearing his 72 years like a man of 40, did bi9 best to receive t? - -i i i. 1.3 _ an wno came, due omy eucceeaea in part. "With their bleed stirring to the same old air3 which bade them do and die for their cause two score years ago, the veteran renmacfc of the Confederate army represented at the Dallas reunion marched through the streets of the city today, the object of wildly-cheering throngs. The day was a holiday in the city, all public buildings being closed between the hours when the parade was passing. Thousands of visitors, coming for the sole purpose of seeing the old soldiers wero added to the multitude already on the streets. That the weight of years was on most of them was apparent in furrowed checks and snowy hair, in halting steps and rounded shoulders; but that the old pride of achievement and duty well one remained was also to be seen in the dogged persistence with which they followed the old flag and threw off their years to the strains of "Dixie."' Many a veteran who in other days exhibited a brilliance of execution which added much to the success of the Etrategems of Confederate laaders were compelled to drop out of line before the march was over. MaDy from the decrepitude rti.n e?rra nr wnnni'lQ rp. UUC ?U1?UV4U6 w ceived in battle were unable tc report, but they found places along the way and waved their hats and screeched the famous rebel yell to show that they were with the marchers in spirit if not in actuality. The line of march, covering the downtown district, was a packed mass of humanity. The crowd was far and away the largest that the city has ever entertained. BRIGHT WITH WOMEXS SMILES. Windows were bright with the IBC8B 01 women bliu gins wnviug handkerchiefs and flags and the sidewalks were almost impassible by reason of the congestion. The decorations by reason of the splendid weather recently were as bright as the first day. Ail the available police were kept busy trying to keep the crowd off | the streets but with ill success. The throng was far too large to admit of | control by any ordinary force. The spectators were for the most part orderly and many were forced into the street by pressure behind them on the sidewalk. The start was made at Main and Austin streets at 11 o'clock. Maj Gen. Van Yandt, marshal of the day and staff, preceded by mounted police to clear the way, led the parade. Following him came Gen. Gordon and staff. The erect, slender figure, the alert eyes, the gray pointed beard of the commander in chief were well known to most of the spectators. The location of the gray horse which he bestrod could almost be told by the increase in the volume of cheers progressing like a wave. The general started to acknowledging the plaudits by taking off his hat but soon left it off entirely, bowing incessantly to right and left. THE OLD HORNETS THERE. Year the head of the line came the famous North Carolina "Hornets"' with hornets' nests pinned to their breasts or hanging from poles. In this division was the old flag of the Third North Carolina cavalry. The old emblem hung in shreds but was carried with all the more pride for its wounds. Georgia, Texas, Tennessee. Kentucky, in fact every southern State was represented in the parade, proudly boasting flags now faded and torn. Many had to be held together with nets but they o were proudly waved nevertheless in unswer to th.e plaudits of the crowd. The Arkansas delegation carried a banner inscribed: "We are from Arkansas, now laugh darn you." sponsor's for Forrest's men mounted The sponsors and maids cf honor of Forrest's cavalry rode with the veterans on horses 3nd were roundly cheered ail along the route. Even greater was the cheering for the Tennessee maidens who walked side by side with the old soldiets whom they had come to honor. The Tenneeseeans made a fine appearance as their dress was the uniform cf gray of the Confederacy and they wore army caps and for the most part carried muskets with bayonets fixed. A country delegation from this State having no muskets, carried canes on top of which they placed their hats. The Louisiana sponsors were mounted and rede behind the tattered flags of the old Fourteenth Louisiana. THEY COULD DO HO BETTED. Behind the old soldiers came the I members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. They were proud to fellow their sires, as was stated by a speaker at their meeting yesterday, "we could do no better than to do as they have done?to show courage, fortitude and devotion when the hour j comes." GIRLS HUGGED GORDON. Gen. Gordon had great trouble in I getting back to his hotel. At every opportunity the crowds were eager to shake his hand, corraled him and | every moment he stopped the crush about him increased. At, the hotel a crowd of sponsors and maids of honor captured him and as many as I couia tnrew tneir arms about bun. Adjt. Gen. Moorman reecured his chief by main force and actually dragged him into the hotel. "It was as fine a parade as I ever saw at a reunion/' said Gen. Gordon and Gen. Moorman echoed this expression. ? When a man lends his influence he ! rarely gets it back. resP?nsibility-and 1 ?!?E s/SffSn no ta*nt ?* disease i m M Bl n nKa +/-?

THE SY7IY: She Lost Nothing1. A distinguished naval officer was telling this story on himself the other ^venina tn a aftfcherinfr of his friends. w n WW w- 0 O " At the time of his marriage be bad been through tbe Cival War and bad many harrowing experiences aboard ship through all of which he kept his courage and remained as calm as a : brave msn should. As the time for ; the ceremony came on, his calnmess j gradually gave way. At tho altar, | amid the blaze of brass buttons ar.d i gold lace marking the naval wedding ' tho officer was all but stampeded, | and what went on there seemed very \ much mixed to him. Fearing the i I excitement of the moment would j temporarily take him off bis feet, the j officer had learned the marriage ceremony letter perfect, 3s he thought, and he remembered repeating the words after the minister in a mechanical sort of way. After the ceremony was over and all was serene again, including the officers state of mind, the kindly clergyman came up to him and touched him on the shoulder. "Look here, old man," be said "you didn't pDdow your wife with any worldly goods." "What's that?" asked the bridegroom, with something of astonishment in his voice. "Why, I repeated the sentence 'With the worldly goods. I thee endow' several time?, and despite my efforts you would say it after me." The bridegroom seemed perturbed for a moment, h?k! then a beaming light came into his face. "Never mind, sir," he said, "she i . . ... . ... didn't lose a blessed thing by my failure."?Washington Star. Hcit's This.

According to the Augusta Herald " Bettie Chancey, an old white woman i who lives near Athens, Gi., is the owner of an old mule of the genuine C Georgia variety. A few days since J she went out to curry the animal, 8 whose hair had remained undipped * for some time and was probably three inches long. While currying the old mule she noticed that about half the hair on his tail had been clipped off [ close to the skin. The mule kept ' switching bis tail towards his back as if something bothered him. The old ! woman began to make a close inspec- 1 tion of the animal end discovered :he trouble. A i-maU rat had gnawed the hair off the mule's tail and had * . ? i i i ,t carried it on top or ma oactc near tne hips. There is a little hollow on the mule's back; the industrious rat had c woven the hair into a neat nest and J was resting in the snug home pleasantly and securely when the old wo- j man ran him out. ^ A Valuable Medicine < ? ?
