Visits Charlaston and lookn Upon Historic
Start Sunrtar.
j4tfanta Constitution.
I write you from the city of Charleston
. ?the city by the see. I am now looking
afar off upon the distant waves, afar
towards Fort. Snmter, the historic place
? where the war began. I was ruminating
about that small beginning of a sad and
terrible conflict. That feeble cannonad
. ing that hardly shook the land and did
not disturb the calm and peaceful sea,
V but it quivered the heart of a great nation,
? and Was the shock that smothered peace
and sounded the call of battle and of
death. I wish I lived by the sea, not all
the time, for I love our hills and moun
. tains dearly, bat I would like to have a
:. home down here where I could bring the
good wife and children and let. them
least upon new scenes and look with rap*
.V tare and with wonder upon the mighty
ocean. How calm, how peaceful, when!
at rest, how terrible in the storm. I
believe such things enlarge us and make
us better. They dignify the great Crea?
tor and'fill us with awe and make us
conscious of our own humility, while
Bitting now upon the wharf watching the
restless waters I cannot wonder at the
emotion of Lord Byron when he wrote
that sublime and beautiful verse
"Boll on then deep and dark blue Ocean,
roll,". .
There-is surely something in nature
that moulds a man to her image. Not
.. all men, but most men._ They say that
blood Twill tell, but blood is not all.
.Blooded stock, whether of man or beast,
will not keep up on the piney Woods. It
will degenerate, we can almost tell where
med came from by looking at them and
talking to them. The mountains produce
? shifty, thrifty, active people, always
smart, always in a hurry. The plains
produce a quiet slow moving, dignified
population; who love their ease and care
for their comfort and take time to enter?
tain their Mends. If a Charleston "man
or a Savannah man is not dignified and
courteous he is nothing. If an East
? Tennessean is .not sharp and close and
.calculating he is ^nothing" And. so
"between the; seacost and the mountains
~; we find all grades and all mixtures. I
I have just visited three pleasant villages
- in South Carolina and mingled with their
; people and enjoyed them for they are in
no hurry to get through life, and content
with, their jot. I neversaw a merchant
hunting ior trade. I never saw one like
Jot.Camp,.of Borne, taking the streets to
induce custom/and working and toiling"
Ifor business. That is all right .and . 1
adraire him and his diligence, but I can't
help noticing the difference. Then there
is Patilio, of Cartersville,, I've wstched
him as atypical'man, a genuine North
V Georgian, as restless as the troubled sea,
working ajl^thetime and watching- for
opportunities. ; He buys at venture and
sells on sight and uses the bank and duns
his customers and deals in any thing that
offers a dollar of profit. Atlanta is that
same way, for Atlanta is made up of
North G^igians. Most all their success?
ful men came, from there, and they are:
" Wart and their motto is "Push alopgY
koep moving.*'
It was.the bracing, nervous air oftthe
- mountains that made Moore and Marsh
and Kiserand Bhode Hill and Wyley
and Wyly and Peters and Dougoteiry'
:. and many -others. .Evan Ho well has
mountain stock in him, and ao has Hemp
thill and Grady-and that is wbr\tbeyv
. succeed. :;-Tbejf. are the stockr-that war
c^limb ir∧ succeed without.capital or
frienda. Nothing can keep them down.
A Macon man will succeed in Macon bnt
he would hardly succeed in Atlanta,
^unless he had a good backing and some
V Bpe<M advautages. Some Charleston
men who moved to Atlanta have succeed?
ed, but they-had-abundant capital and
. had North Georgia boys to help, them,
. There is a wide difference between Macon
aud Atlanta in their methods of business.
The Atlanta men; walk faster, talk faster
and chew more tobacco and give more
bank notes, and dun harder and brag
eternaDy-on Atlanta. Well, that is* all
right^ThSiris business, and that is what
makes!Atlanta*- Why, a man can break
all to pieceVin Atlanta and rise again in'
two months and smile serenely.
Wenerable. Charleston I I have not
Seen here for SO years. When I was a
merchant I used to trade here. Twice a
year I made my pilgrimage here and
* bbught:.my goods, aud-now it makes me
sad to wander around in search of the old
familiar places and find new signs. I
Saw One hanging .on a wall ; it was cor
rodlng from the, iron- hand of. time, but j
tt.was theror-tbe, same old, sign, "Hyatt
McBurney & Co.'' But they were not
there, and-no succession. The sign was
all. Happily I found one, but only one
old. friend, Mr. McGahan, the honest
; Scotchman, now of Edwin, Bates, & Co.,
; and; the \ head of the house,- He is the
only one left of the old stock I used to
-deal.with, a noble gentleman of the pure
Charleston type. His house has a branch
in Atlanta which shows his business
sagacity. Sitting down by him, I asked
many questions and the answer was
dead, dead?out * of business?moved
away*- E?en Vanderzee, the late surviv
cr of Wiley, Banks & Co., is thumping
fiies in.New York, and. Jias. passed his
-three score and ten. Van. was the best
merchant I-ever knew except Mr. Nor?
ton, of. Borne, and he couldn't talk to
- you a minute without thumping, a fly
from your clothes, or catching him as he
flew* He was the best catch on the fly I
ever saw, and',he is at it yet. Butthose
time-honored names of honorable men?
names that. I respected, for they did busi?
ness on. honorable principles, and they
^were the pride of Charleston?where, are
they ? There were the Bowies^ and Gilli
, lands, and Fleming, and Dunham, and
.: Dewing,- ;Taylor & Co., and Chamber?
lain-, Meier & Co., and McKenzie, Cadow
& Co., and Clark, Hyde & Co., and S tod -
dard, and Courtenay, Tennant & Co., and
. I don't know how many more I used to
trade with. Well, they are all gone,
-or out of business, or dead?and it is only
thirty years since they were in their glory.
And so we all pass away soon, and he no
more remembered than Rutherford B.
Hayes. But I did meet Mr. Courtenay,
and he is well and Well preserved,, and is
. a president of a bank, and is bor i by
that people. His brother is the Jkrayor
of Charleston, and is worthy of the honor
his people have shown him. I reverence
these old classic names, for they are
classic. There la something in a name.
There's nothing in mine, I know, but
whenever I meet with aCalhoun or a
Lamar or Cobb or Lowndes or Butlege
or Bowie or Courtenay or Pickens or such
. like, I naturally expect something of the
man, and if he is neither good nor great,
' all I can Bay is that he has gone back on
his ancestors, which he oughtent to have
done. "
Well, I love Charleston. My dear
mother was born here?my best earthly
friend except my wife?my dear old
mother, who still loves to bless me and
pray for me, and who, if she had the
privilege, would forgive all my sins.
For her sake I reverence this place, and
if I could know the spot, the sacred spot
that gave her birth, i would go to it like
the pilgrims went ?o Mecca. But, alas I\
. I do not know. She does not know, for
she was hurried awfty during a pestilence,
when father and mother were but a day
in their graves. I
These memories are sweet, tender and
refining* I wandered along the streets in
Augusta the other day, looking for names,
familiar names, hut I did not find them.
They,'too, are dead or retired, and there
is a new-set of merchants aud lawyers.
But I was" not' lost or forgotten, for as
time has rolled on I have made new
friends, and I love them. I found John
H. Davidson there, a genial gentleman,
of whom his people ace proud, and ought
to be. And then I met that lovable man,
My Maryland. Randall, whose name Is
familiar to eve ry household, and whose
welcome comes from the heart as well as
from the hand. And that sterling, solid
-son of Erin, Pat Walch, whom the people
of Georgia delight to honor, and will yet
honor. I love this good old Georgia city
for its happy memories, and especially
because' Mrs. Arp was educated there,
and her education was solid?solid as a
rook?and she can do a sum now in her
bead quicker than I can on a slate, and
is as sure in fignres as an almanac. I
was taken sick in Charleston once, at the
Pavilion hotel, when old Mr. Butterfield
was the proprietor, and I thought I had
the yellow fever and was going to die.
So I ran away with the fever on me, for
I wanted to die at home, and I reached
home and for two months I was at the
door of death, and living I did languish
and languishing did live, and one day a
sweet, pretty girl with beautiful hazel
eyes and raven hair, came to see me and
brought me some flowers, and as I looked
in her soft, sympathetic" face I rallied and
determined to get well. And I did. And
I'm well yet, and so is ahe, and her chil?
dren are mine and mine are hers.
Bill Asp.
The Leaning Tower of Pisa.
The tower hau such a strange effect on
you I You see that the -stairs are very
steep in some places, and that the inner
wall crowds down upon you in an un
Eleasant way. The effect is a little like
eing in the cabin of a ehip at sea; you
realize a kind of undulating motion, with
out having the visible cause of it before
your eyes. We stopped to rest; a small
window was .at hand: we looked down
into the interior of the tower. It was
like a det,p round shaft,that had been
sunk slantwise; there was just enough
slant to it to be unpleasant. ' We trudged
on and on, and looked again. The tower
was beginning, to move a little ; we both
saw it and felt ic. The walla sagged very
much; it was with some difficulty that
we kept from; slipping out of the door
level with the stairs when the tower
reeled over on our side. I wonder that
we had the courage to-, complete the
ascent. Towers have fallen before now;
leaning towers are not expected to stand
any "longer than; they choose to. The
earth , has suck -about the -Pisa, tower, so
that you go down Beveral steps to get to
the door on the ground floor.
'' We were near the top ; the roofs of the
city lay far below us; we caught'giddy
glimpses of the world from the opening
in the w?ll?the tempting doors that in?
vited us to step" into eternity without
waiting our turn. By this time the hol?
low of the tower looked ?be a monstrous
funnel. We were stumbling over the
stone stairs in an unpleasantly BUggestive
manner, when we came to the top cham?
ber, where the great bells hang. Here
we breathed more freely. The big bell,
-weighing six tons, bangs on the upper
-side of the tower, "to windward," as it
were j: the smaller bells take their chances
on the down grade. This little fact
relieved us, for we were still affected by
the unsteadiness of the long, spiral stair?
way. While we were looking off upon
the country from the turrets above (the
bell chamber, lol all the bells began.
-Tinging right under our feet. The sen?
sation was as if the tower was about to be
shaken to pieces; every stone trembled
perceptibly; the air was whistling about'
our ears; one man did it all I He sprang
on to one of the bells and set it swinging,
then leaping gayly on to another, and at
last caught the big bell to the windward
and got its thick black tongue in motion;
so htf"skipped Rightly from^??eTto the
other, dodging-.-the roaring monsters as
they, heaved, about him.:. Escape.was
impossible while this concert was in
progress.
The green hills were about us on the
inland side ; the.country was as flat as a
floor frorx^Pisa to the sea. Away off in
the-corner by the shore lay Leghorn.
Should we not go to Leghorn when it
liea but .an hour hence by rail? We
thought it best, and as soon as the bells
were quiet we went down the corkscrew
stairway and came to the outer, door in
capital order. I had thought to receive
the finishing touch on the way down, but
on the contrary, having become some?
what .tangled during the ascent. I had
only to descend to unravel it all, and
came but precisely as I had entered;
? _'; They Were on the String.
"I saw something new up in Wisconsin
the other evening," observed a Chicagoan
who had a satchel in his hand; and who
was on his way-home. "A patent medi?
cine man was Gelling something or. other
from a carriage in which he bad a very
pretty young woman and a gasoline lamp.
The lady sang one or two songs very
sweetly nnd then the man talked and sold
his nostrum at a dollar a bottle.
When he had disposed'of thirty or
forty, bottles he said : 'Now, gentlemen,
before bidding you good night I will give
an exhibition of the wonderful magnetic
powers.of my wife, who sits here by my
side. I hold in my hand a common piece
of thread. Now, one of you. take hold
of the end of it and walk off and. then
let all the.-others take hold of it) and at
the signal which I will give she will take
hold of the other end and you: will feel
the shock instantly.'
"About 150 men and boys grasped the
thread and walked off about half a block
with it 'Now keep perfectly quiet/ said
the man, 'and you will feel .the shock
delicately at first and then strong enough
to tingle'at the ends of your fingers and
toes. Are you ready V
"They all said 'Yes/"
? 'Well, then, I will out out the-light,'
I said he, 'and my wife will take the thread
in her hand at that instant.'
"The light went out and the man's
j voice was heard: 'What have you in
[ your hand, my dear ?'
'"The longest string of suckers I ever
saw in all my life,' came in a sweet,
musical voice, and at the same moment
the horses and carriage were driven off
I at a great speed, leaving the crowd hold?
ing on to the. string, completely dumb?
founded.
"It was the worst shock a good many
of those fellers ever got"?Chicago Her?
ald.
His Legs Were Safe.
M. Boutibouse, the French savant,
served in Napoleon's army, and was pres?
ent at many engagements. At the oat tie
of Wagram, in 1809, he was in the heat
of the fray. The ranks around him had
been terribly thinned by shot, and at
sunset he was. nearly isolated. While
reloading his musket he was shot down
by a cannon ball. His impression was
that the ball had passed through his legs
below his knees, completely severing
them, for he suddenly sank down, short?
ened, as he believed, to the extent of
about a foot in measurement. The trunk
of the body fell backward on the ground,
and the man's senses were paralyzed by
the shock. Thus he lay,, motionless,
among the wounded and dead, all night,
not daring to move, when consciousness
partially returned, lest the loss of blood
should be fatally increased. That he felt
no pain be attributed to the stunning
effect of the shock on his nervous system,
and his faculties were still too numb to
! reason why he had not bled to death.
At early dawn be was aroused by one of
the medical staff, who came round to
help, the wounded. "What's the matter
with you, my good fellow?" said the
surgeon. "Ah touch me tenderly, doc?
tor," replied M. Boutibouse, a cannon
ball has carried off both my legs." The
surgeon examined the limbs referred to,
and then giving him a good shake, said
with a loud laugb, "Get up with you ;
there's nothing tbe matter with your
legs!" M. Boutibouse sprang up in utter
astonishment, and stood firmly on the
legs which he had thought lost forever.
"I felt more thankful," said he, "than I
had ever felt in the whole course of my
life before. I had not a wound about
me. I had, indeed, been shot down by
an immense cannon ball, but instead of
passing through my legs, as I firmly
believed it had, the ball had passed under
my feet and had ploughed a hole in the
earth beneath at least a foot in depth,
into which my feet suddenly sank, giving
me the idea that I had been thus short*
ened'hy the loss of my legs.
How He Courted Betsey.
The following is Artemus Ward's
description of why he courted Betsey
I Jane: "There were many affectin' ties
which made me hanker after Betsey
Jane. Her father's farm jined ourn;
their cows and ourn squeuched their
thist at the same spring; our old mares
both had stars in their forreds; the
measles broke out in both families at
nearly the same tim; our parents (Betsey
Jane's and mine), slept regularly every
Sunday in the same meetin'-house, and
the nabors used to obsarve, 'How thick
the Wards and Peasles air.' It was a
sublime sight in the spring of the year to
see our several mothers (Betsey's and
mine) 'with their gowns pinned up so
that they could't aile 'em, efieckshunitely
bi 1 in' soap together and aboosin' their
nabors." . . .
? Blunbin and his wife had been
indulging in a family discordance, and
finally Mrs. B. exclaimed: "Well, I've
got my opinion of any man who talks as
you do." "Oh, have you 1 Well, you
can keep it if you want to," "No, I
can't either, it's so awfully bad already
that it won't keep."

DEFIES Competition by saying that it is by far the PUREST and BEST Corn Whis?

No use in going to Drug Stores or other Bars to buy Pure Corn Whiskey for Medicinal
purposes, or any other purpose, for there is not a single Drug Store or Bar in the Town
that keeps Stone Mountain Whiskey. Coirequently, there is none so good as the
Genuine Stone Mountain Corn Whiskey. Remember, that the only

The gentleman who outlines his case below Is a
man considerably advanced in life, and is noted
for bis sterling integrity. His Postoflice is Yatcs
ville, Upson County, Ga. The following is
Mr. John Pearson's Statement:
In the Spring of 18821 was attacked with a very
bad cough, which continued to grow worse until
fall, when I got so weak that ? could not get
about. I tried a great many kinds of medlcina
but continued to grow worse. I was notified that
I had consumption and would probably die. Dr.
Holloway finally told me to try Brewer's Lung Re?
storer. They sent to Ward's Store and got a bottle
and I commenced taking it right away. After tak?
ing two or three doses, I began to Improve, and by
the time I had used up one bottle 1 was able to get
on my feet again. I am now in excellent health.
I am confident that the Lung Restorer saved my
life and my neighbors are of the same opinion.
It is the best Lung Remedy ever made in my opin?
ion. Dr. H. promised mo that he would write to
the manfacturers and tell them, of tho wonderful
cure it made in my case.
Statement of Mr. Benj. H. Hearndon:
Early in November, 1881, whllo sewing on the '
machine, my wife was taken with a severe pain in
her side, which was soon followed by hemorrhages
from her lungs and a suvere cough. Fever com?
menced, she could neither eat or sleep, and in a
few weeks she was reduced to a living skeleton.
Tho attending physician, told me that he thought
one of her lungs was entirely gone. She co> '. j.ot
retain tho most delicate nourishment on bei atom*
ach. I then agreed w:.tu Dr. Sullivan, my family
?hysiciau, to coll Dr. Holloway in consultation,
hey made a final examination of the patient and
pronounced the case hopeless. Dr. Holloway then
suggested the Brewer's Lung Restorer as a last
resort. I sent for a bottle and gave her a dose. I
found that she could retain It on her stomach, and
after about the third dose, I began to notice some
improvement in her condition. I continued the
>mcdlcinc regularly, and by the time she had taken
two bottles, she was able to walk about the house.
She is now in better health than s9e has enjoyed
for several years. I beliovo the Lung Restorer
saved her lifo. We have a family of six children,
some of them grown."

every particular.
