General Rosser Pays Glowing Tribute to Dead Hero. Gen. Thomas L.Rosser, of Virginia, who waa the youngest Major General of the Confederate army, who com manded a regiment at Gettysburg, and who was with the Army of Northern Virginia from the fi rat bat tle to the surrender, bitterly resents the criticism of Gen. Longstreet's course at Gettysburg. Gen. Rosser was appointed-an officer in the Span ish war by President McKinley, and in recent years has been acting with tho Republican party. Reviewing tho work of some of the great Con federate Generals, Gen. Rosser said to the correspondent of Tho Green ville News: "With the death of Gen. Long street passes the last of the great soldiers of the Army of Northern Vir ginia. He fought alone tho battle of the 18th of July, 1861, and won the first victory of that splendid army. He shared in tho glory of all tho great battles that army fought. He .'s badly wounded in the Wilder "iir where Jackson fell, and undi.. 'if circumstances, and had ho dieu e he would have gone down into history side by side with Jackson and Leo. Longstreet and Lee, as soldiers, wore similar in many respects. Both were great defensive gonerals, but neither can xbe classed amongst the successful offensive gon erals of history. Take Jackson, for instance. His campaign from Kearns town to Port Republic, in tho Vallay of Virginia, in 1862, was as brilliant as the first Italian campaign of the great Napoleon. In results he took MoDowell from Fredericksburg. He left Shields, Freemont and Banks confused as to his whereabouts, dashed across the mountains, joined Lee on the 26th of June, striking Mc Clellan the surprise blow, drove him to the James and raised the siege of Richmond. With tho dispatch of ligtuing he wheeled around, met Pope at Cedar Mountain, stopped his advance upon Lee's rear and Hank, held him until Lee could arrive with reinforcements, passed to his rear and fought the battle of the 28th of September at Grovetown Heights, opened the way for Lee to press on with his army, and crowned the cam paign with the successful battle of the second Bull Run. He crossed the Potomac with Lee, was detached, sent back, captured Harper's Ferry and joined Lee at Sharpsburg in time to stop McClellan and save Lee's army. In May, 1863, when Lee was hesitating in the Wilderness, believ ing that Hooker's movement below Fredericksburg was a serious one, with the foresight, of genius, Jackson pronounced it a feint, urged Lee to allow him to move around Hooker's right, which, in audacity, boldness and brilliancy, seemed to paralyze Lee, and while on this wonderful march Sikles got between him and Leo with an army nearly equal to his own, Jackson pressed on, turned on, turned Hooker's right, as be contem plated, dissipated the Eleventh crops and all its support, and was within a half mile of the goal, the Bullock house, of which had he gained posses sion, Hooker's retreat would have been impossible and he at the mercy of the Confederate army, when he was shot and mortally wounded by ,-his own men. "Lee, then in command of an army that knew no defeat and not realiz ing that his great offensive general had beon taken away from the army, committed the fatal blunder of at tempting the invasion of the North. At no time during that campaign did he move with celerity, maneuver to the surprise of the enemy or do any thing of a brilliant character, mark ing him with the genius of war. The battle of Gettysburg was lost the first day, although the Confederates claimed a viol v, and it might have been turned into a victory had Leo been a master of the art of aggres sive warfare. But ho followed up the first day by a stubborn attack of the enemy iu an entrenohetf^osition, and, failing to dislodge -bim, seemed to hesitate and his plans scorned U be confused, binally, he committed a great, error in nttneking a superior enemy in an entrenched position at the strongest point. In tho history of battles very few generals have ever made an attack on tho center of tho enemy's position, and history gives only one example of where aitch an attack has been successful. That was the battle of Wagram, where tho great Napoleon deceived the Archduke Charles by BO threat ening his ?Imk as to cause him to .weaken his center, when, qniok as n .Hash, Napoleon struck the center of the enemy willi .McDonald and his reserves. But then the world has only given us oue Napoleon, aud the Western Hemisphere has given us only one Jackson. When I-iv's army wm.; beaten from the fatal at tack which he ordered on the 8d of July, he rode amougat bis fleeing sol diera, begging them to rally and re form on Seminary Ridge, telling them that it was his fault that they had failed and not their own. No criticism was made of Longatreet at that time. Longstreet waa retained in the most important oorps of Lee's army and served honorably and faith fully under Lee to the end. At Appomatoz, Longstreet, <vith Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia, at the close of a most glorious achievement, honestly surrendered. The Sont hero; Confederacy was eliminated from the map of the world, its'flag was forever turled, and all soldiers who surrendered there had either to return to the Union and become loyal to the flag of their country, or remain hypoorits and traitors, which they could not do it" they had honestly surrendered and accepted the terms that Grant had given them. "Longstreet came out of the war with a record for courage, devotion to the cause he had eaponsed, and loyalty to the star and cross,) second to none. Disabled by wounds, his right arm hanging lifeless and help less at his Bide, his profession, that of a soldier, gone, he turned his at tention to civil pursuits and was struggling for a living when his old friend, Grant, then President of the United States, offered him service in tho Government. Lee was dead, Southern politicians had expected Longstreet to keep the fires of Southern antiputny to the North alive, and as they were seeking to inflame tho passions of the people as a basis upon whioh to unito the South aud to fuse with the copper head party in tho North, as a means of repossessing themselves of n gov ernment they had lost by the results of tho war, this movement of Long street in accepting the offer of Grant tended to break their influence with the old soldiers of the South. To counteract that, they brought up the charge of disloyalty and disobedi ence to Lee at Gettysburg, never having thought of it before, and never, in fact, having a foundation for it. This,I in a measure, served their purpose, because the old BOI diers and their sons in the South are always ready to resent anything said or done unfavorable to Lee. Now,I am mortified to see that even the ladies have taken this matter up, and the Daughters of the Confederacy at Savannah refused to lay a wreath of laurels on tho tomb of the dead hero. "I was surprised that Fitch ugh Lee should have charged Longstreet with disobedience, fori don't believe General Lee ever made such a charge himself. After the war I went to Lexington and studied law and saw Lee every day and every night. Our comrades and enemies were often discussed, but 1 never heard Gen. Lee speak of Longstreet except in the most affectionate manner. Col. Venable was professor of mathe matics when I moved back to Char lottesville eighteen years ago, and my relations with him up to hisdoath were close and intimate. I never heard him suggest the idea that Longstreet disobeyed orders or failed to do his duty at Gettysburg or any where else. General Lee relieved General Ewell, ono of his corps com manders at Gettysburg, from duty with his army. Ile critioised A. P. Mill severely for his failure and mis mangement s at Bristow Station, but no man over heard him say one word against Longstreet. "Now that Longstreet is laid away to rest, all old and trne soldiers of the Southern Confederacy will kneel around his tomb and pray that he may stand at the great revillo with Lee, Jackson and Longstreet."

Henry Van Dyke, when ho first acoepted the chair of English litera ture at Princeton, gave a special oourso in Sir Thomas Malory'a Morte Arthure and Tennyson's Idylls of the King. One day the conversation drifted to the number of knights who com poned Arthur's famous Round Table. One of the Seniors asked Dr. Vau Dyke how many he thought there were. "About forty, I think, is the number usually conceded," he re plied. "I always understood there were fifty," remonstrated another student. "Well, possibly there were," replied the doctor ; "but then there must have been at least ten of the knights constantly on the road en gaged in their diffevent quests and pleasures around King Arthur's realm." "Ob, yes," burst forth an irrepressible Senior, "Arthur's Ten Nights in a Bar-room."-Saturday Evening Post. * * ? Against the Saloon. The General Association of Ken tucky Baptists, in their recent ses sion at Georgetown-the largest and most thoroughly representative ses sion of thiH body that has met in years-took an advance position on tho liquor trafile that means much to j tho cause of temperance, provided the Association a? Hopkinsviile next j year will make the proposed oh ango in the constitution with regard to representation in that body. On th? first part of the report-the most terrific arraignment of tho saloon business I ever read-there was prac tically no division of sentiment, the vote for ita adoption being almost j unanimous. It was as follows "We would put on record again our unqualified condemnation of the saloon business. Our opposition to it deepens with the years. We be lieve that the business is a sin against God, a disease in the State, a blot upon our civilization, a shame to the churches, a foe to prosperity, a men ace to society, an adversary to the cause of Christ, an enemy to tho home and a destroyer of men, in body, mind and soul. "There is not a grace that adorns human nature, not a virtue that gives strength to man or to society or to State, not a talent that serves man kind, not an interest that pertains to human welfare, nor a cause that looks toward human redemption but what is blighted or weakened, or perverted or hindered or destroyed by this Satan of modern progress. And thero ia not a sin or orimo or vice or shame known to our courts that by it is not produced or j strengthened and widened. There is not another enemy of our people that does not find in this its most j faithful ally. "Any complicity with this busi ness is unchristian. To engage in it as distiller, wholesale or retail dealer, or to have it in connection with a hotel, to havo money invested in it; to loan money for its support,j to rent property for its use, to fre quent the saloon as a patron ; in short, every vital connection with the business wo look upon as incon sistent with tho Christian profes sion."-Western Recorder.

Eduoation. * # # A New Scripture. m For nchool officers : Seek first of all a good teacher and these things will follow-a school library, a good Mellool house, embclished sohool grounds, interested pupils, punctual and regular attendance. And do you ask how you are to know a good teaoher ? By his works is the best rule to guide you. Did he ever convert a oommunity so that it helped him to establish a sohool li brary, build a decent school houBe, beautify the Bohool grounds? Did he ever interest indifferent parents in the education of their ohildren ? Did he ever inspire enough interest on the part of the obildren to cause them to love the school and be punc tual and regular in attendance ? Did he over take enough interest in the poor and the illiterate ohildren of the community to secure enough aid to put them all in sohool ? Does be spend his vacation in idleness or does he spend it in Bober thoughtfulness and in planning better work for the future ? Does he know enough and oare enough about universal popular education to enable him to convert opponents of such eduoation? These are some of the qualifica tions which any Behool officer can find out without formal examination of the applicant for the position of teacher. And, unless an applicant have these qualifications, it is better far that he were not eleoted to teach the ohildren of any community. The education of tho children can not wait on ihe reformation of the teacher. # * * The first thing wo should do is to arouso a deep and increased interest in the subject of education ; we must go to work and let the people know that we are in earnest ; we must realize the fact that in this work we will not be judged by what we propose to do, but by what we actually do.

A box of toys, candies, fruits, dresses, shoes, otc, wont out to the children on the Tugaloo farm, and there was never a happier sot of children than these.

George Franois Train, who died in New York Inst week, was one cf the most picturesque figures in the history of America. Only a year ago, when he wa? 74 years old, he dictated the rem in Sconces of his ex traordinary career*, and the result was published in book form. Sum marized in his own curious fashion this contained iuformatiou about his life: Shipping clerk, 16 ; manager, 18 ; partner in Train <fc Co., 20, with an income of $10,000. Established firm of George Train & Co., Melbourne, Australia, 1858; agent White Star Line, income,$90,000. Started forty clippers to California in 1849. Built railroad connecting Erie with Ohio and Mississippi. Pioneered the first street railway in Europe, America, Australia and Eugland. Built first Paoific railway, 1862 1869, through Credit Mobilier. Owned 5,000 lots in Omaha, worth $3,000,000. Been in fifteen jails without a orime. Mr. Train's parents, with several brothers and Bisters, died at New Orleans from yellow fever, and his childhood home was on his grand mother's farm in Massachusetts. Not long after entering tho Boston ship ping house, founded by his cousin, he went abroad, und from that time on he wandered all over the globe. In 1873 he began a career as lec turer and agitator, aud held publio debates with some of the ablest ora tors iu this eouutry. A few yean? ago he made a trip around the world in sixty-six days, saying afterwards that his psychic force enabled him to overcome all obstacles. When Mills's Hotel No. 1 was opened, several yoars ago, Mr. Train went there to live, and since then made it his headquarters. One of the features of his eventful life was his admiration for ohildren, and for years a familiar speotacle in Madison Square was "Citizen" Train on a bench, surrounded by a group of little ones. Mr. Train's last adventure oc curred last summer, when he was quarantined at Stamford, Conn., ina smallpox isolation camp and threat ened that oity with a suit for $50,000 damages. He was the author of at least fifty books, and frequently as serted that his "psychic power" would make him the most potent sovereign of the earth. Eight large cottou mills at Con cord, N. C., operating 88,000 spin dles and 8,300 looms, began last week to run only four days a week. This action is taken on account of the scarcity and high price of cotton and tho low price of manufactured goods. Two thousand hands are affected. Cold Wave Coming.

The railroads and the post office au thorities aro arranging to weigh the mail matter handled by the railroads throughout Um country. In a short time tho weighing will commence and will be kept up every day for 30 days. Each railway mail olerk will weigh all the mail matter he receives from each post office, aod eaoh postmaster will weigh all the mail he de livers and reooives from the railroads. The three separate weights will be com pared and obeoked up, and upon this basis the Government will make con tracts with tho railroads for hauling the mails. The mails on woighed in this manner once evory four years, and the contraqt is made for the sucooeding yearn upon the basis of weights' shown for the month during which the weighing is made. Four years ago quite a scandal de veloped in connection with this weigh ing. Some of the railroads, it was olalmed, padded their weights. Some of the railroads had friends in Congress who used their franks to send out large quantitiee of Government reports and other deadhead mail matter along the roads interested and desiring to make a heavy showing. The s?beme was de tooted by the poet office authorities and quite a soandal grew out of it. Every precaution will be taken by the post?nico authorities to prevent a repeti tion of such ocourrenoe this year. It is likely that the weighing will com mence on the railroads within the next 80 days. The weighing will be in pro gress in all parts cf tbs country at the same time.-Columbia Record. , Slop IL A neglected cough or cold may lead to serious bronohial or lung troubles.

San Antonio, Texas, January ld.-John Alexander Dowle (Elijah Restorer) and hia six deacons leave to-morrow for San Franoisco on a trip to Australia. Dowle attended the opening of Hot Sulphur Wells Tourist Hotel this morning and entered his protest against the lavish sil ver service and the stuffed pig on the menu. This afternoon he addressed about 8,000 people in a local auditorium. He wanted to make himself olear on the race question. He said the Anglo-Saxon race is superior to the negro race, bu t that there was a time when the block brother was superior to the white and the white man should be just to the negro and endeavor to lift bim up. Whatever tho difference in raoe might be on earth, the white man and black man were brothers be fore God. Dowie found fault with the Southern people, in that they wero too sleepy and slow, not up-to-date, and he ridiculed the slow time by the railroad, whose guest he has been during the past several days. His only reference to the pros pective establishment of a Zion City and plantation on the Texas Coast was con tained in the statement that bo might at some near date become a neighbor of tho people of San Antonio.
