"Besolved, That I will do my profes? sional and other duties; whether agree? able or otherwise, as unto God." "The wise is happy nature to explore, The fool is happy that he knows no more." "That man may last, but never lives, Who much receives, but nothing gives ; Whom none can love, whom none can thank, Creation's blot, creation's blank." Can a man teach others what he does not know ? Is it not a fearful mistake for a teacher to undertake to teach what he or she does not understand ? Have any of our teachers been trying to do this ? If bo, look back over your work and see what mistakes you have made, and en? deavor to prepare yourself before another session opens to not repeat them again. We will have on hand soon a lot of books on teaching, discipline, pedagogy and other interesting subjects, sent for examination. We would be pleased to. supply any who may desire such books. In fact, we have catalogues of all school "books, with liberal discounts, which we would take pleasure in ordering for any desiring. During vacation it would be verv profit? able for the teachers to review their last session's work, and plan for improve? ments on it. You are not yet perfect, either in discipline, ability or informa? tion. There is a great deal yet to be learned, and one who does not intend to go forward may expect.to be left behind, for the world "do move." All other pro? fessions are constantly buying new books and literature to keep up with the march of progress, and that teacher who expects to make teaching a profession must do the same thing or fail to make his pro? fession a success. The hospitality and sociability of the people of Honea Path is not to be sur? passed anywhere. They made all the teachers at the Association have a delight? ful time. The acquaintance meeting on Friday night was one of the pleasantest evenings we've spent in a long time. There were several recitations that were just as good as could be, especially the one by Miss Watkins. To hear that was worth the whole trouble and expense of the trip. The people of Honea Path turned out and the social feature of the evening could not be spoken too highly of. ThoBe who did not attend missed a real treat. Honea Path is the biggest town to its size in the country. CLOSING EXERCISES Of White Plains school will take place on the 30th inst., beginning at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, at which time addresses will be made by Revs. S. H. Zimmer? man and ?>. W.

The meeting of the Teachers' Associa? tion at Honea Path, on the 16th, was an occasion of great pleasure to those who were present. All weal;:away. saying.we. are glad we came. 'Theprogram, as pub? lished, was carried out, except those ap? pointed to open the discussion were gener? ally absent. We regret to see such a lack of interest in this important work, if it be lack of interest. However, we trust all who were absent bad good reasons for not being with us. We wish every teacher io the County could have heard and helped in the discussion on "How to make the study of History interesting?" "What kinds of knowledge should a suc? cessful teacher have V and "The differ? ent methods of calling our pupil to recite, and advantages of each." A great many teachers are anxious to do good work, if they only knew how. Most of them regard history as their hardest and most uninteresting class. Others do not have a proper appreciation of the influence and position that a teacher holds in the vicinity, and conse? quently do not supply themselves with a well-rounded fund of knowledge and in? formation, such as a successful teacher Bbould have. In many schools we find the old plan of calling on pupiU to recite by asking the questions in the book in their order, and calling on the pupils to recite con? secutively, beginning always at the "head," as it is termed. In this way each pupil is enabled to prepare the questions which fall to its number, and disregard the others. However, our best teachers are not to be beat in this way. But the pupil is required to be prepared on all the lesson in order to pass the recitation in class credibly. The Teachers' Association will help solve the problems that rise in these questions if those who are con? fronted with them will only attend. During the summer vacations may we not rightly expect our teachers to help each other with such suggestions through this column as each one feels to be of in? terest? Don't be sel?sb ; if you have any good plans or methods of work give them to the other teacher?. This is the pur? pose of the Teachers' Column. A lady in this city, (N. Y.) who has been a successful teacher for several years, somo time since took charge of the child of her sister, whose death left the infant without a guardian. At once she was confronted with a problem somewhat different from those she had met in her classes. Here was a live boy, to be fed, clothed, amused, trained, and, in fact, educated into a successful manbood. The whole responsibility for bis future suc? cess or failure was thrown upon her, and, it is safe to say, she was overwhelmed with the responsibility of the work. Heretofore she had looked upon her pu? pils in mass, feeling no special care for the future of any one, but here the case ANDEKSON, B.C., was different: Her work waB to be con? centrated, concrete, and tbe application of all her theories was to be made. Here was a grave problem, surely. A new world opened upon her?the world of a human soul. This boy is now Bix years old, and just like other healthy boys iB full of impulses, strong determinations, and desires. Although this lady con? fesses that she has made some mistakes, she is, on the whole, satisfied with tbe result of her labors, but Bhe is a changed teacher. The work of educating looks different from what it did six yeara ago. Before that time everything, outside of the class-room, was theoretical, now it is practical. Bhe now sees before her men and women, not boys and girls. Her aim now is character building, not recitation cramming, or fact collecting, She knows childhood, as she never knew it before, and instead of complaining and scolding Bhe iB helpful and commenda? tory ; in fact, she is a changed teacher. Each pupil in her classes is before her as an individual unit, to be provided for differently from other units, and although she is outwardly teaching classes she is in fact teaching individuals. It has coBt a good deal for her to come to this posi? tion, but it now payB for all it has cost. She now thinks that she cannot do too much for her pupils, and regrets that Bhe has not more time and strength to give to her work. She is literally wearing her? self out in her labors. Does it pay ? It certainly does. There is no danger in over-loving or over-estimating the teach? er's work. There is no danger in over aelf-forgetfulness in behalf of those com? mitted to tbe care of teachers and parents. It would be a gocd thing if all teachers would studj the child more concretely;? the child?one child, not children in masses, but one individual specimen in particular. This would be studying psy? chology on its feet, not in theory.. This is what we are coming to?leas of specula? tion and more of practice.?School Jour London's Slave Mart. The correspondent of the London Times writes from Paris that plans are forming to prevent the continual dispersion of the Jews, whom the sternness of Eussia ex? pels from its soil, and who are being scattered abroad among all. civilized countries. It is proposed to set up bar? riers to this continual invasion and to', imitate the United States. The measures taken by Russia, be points out, are only the natural conse? quence of its terror on account of the tremendous increase in numbers in this prolific people, which threatens to sub? merge the national race. The Emperor, under pressure of the synod, spurred on by orthodox subjects, has had to take some note of this formidable increase in the Jewish population, which has reach? ed at this moment the numbers of 5,000, 000, and which, with that capacity for increase which characterizes it, will exceed in forty years the orthodox popu? lation of Russia. It is for these reasons and in this connection that a very serious inquiry has been made in all the great centres of Europe, and reports have been drawn up, from which it appears that in almost all the great centres there have been established in the midst of the nine? teenth century, and full in the face of Europe, actual markets for slaves, and that under the form of legal fictions men are bought and sold and become, like ? beasts, the property of the buyers. According to these reports, there exists; in the city of London, in the east end, a quarter of 25,000 Polish, German and Russian Jews, who have established themselves almost autonomously, and are fast increasing, both in the course of nature, and in consequence of forced emi? gration from Eussia. This population, already formidable, is step by step becom? ing menacing, because its interests are absolutely removed from those of the rest of London. This entire population of dealers, as disgusting as the goods they Bell, speaks the Hebraico Germanic jargon seen upon the signs, preserves the origi? nal type of its Northern race, lives in a retreat close and unwholesome, and forms a permanent focus whence issue pestifer? ous germs that prevade the metropolis. . But by the side of this horrible market exists an enslaved population, having no connection with any other, which remains at this very hour a startling fact, a market of men hidden in a corner of this noisome enclosure. Every Sunday at the hour of the general market;--says the Bpecial report on London, is to be seen in one of the streets of.this market a varying num? ber of men of various ages, but always able-bodied, drawn up in line against the wall, and in front of them a man who sells them to purchasers who have come for the special purpose of getting what? ever man or number of men they: may need. Of course a man is not' sold in a fashion clearly agreed upon ; but these men, driven out of Eussia, and wander? ing from place to place without a home or resources, reach London knowing neither tbe town, nor the language, nor any living person. There they become the prey of a man who is an actual slave dealer. He keeps and feeds them till the day of the sale, when they sign, in return for a certaia sum given for them, a very lorjg engagement as workmen or servants, according to their capacity, in considera? tion of a certain salary, feeding and lodg? ing. Now, the sum given for them varies from ?2 to .?3. Their salary varies from 2 shillings to 3 shillings a week. Their feeding is horrible, and so is their lodg? ing*, jThey suffer hunger, cold, heat, vermin and work from early morning until, late in the evening. They have agreed to pay back a certain sum if they break their engagement. They are deprived of relations, paper, acquaint? ances, of protection. They remain slaves, working for nothing, depriving thereby, for the profit of their master, other men of work, and especially English workmen.

Carswoll Becomes a Prophet, Atlanta Constitution. Douglasville, Ga., May 1G.?Fol? lowing the predictions as to the second coming of Christ, which have been pub? lished throughout the world recently, Dr. E. B. Cars well's sermon on that sub? ject last Sunday has created much com? ment. Dr. Carewell is a man of advanced thought, and has given this subject much study. He does not claim to know defi? nitely the exact date of the millenium, but predicts that all indications go to show it will be in the near future. The Constitution saw Dr. Carswell and asked him for his views on the subject. The doctor said: "Your special from Douglasville touch? ing my sermon last Lord's day calls for a brief statement, ex-cathedra, which I am glad to make. "You justly stated that I specified no date as to the precise time when our Lord should appear." "On what do you base your conclusions concerning these predictions ?" Here the doctor entered into quite a discussion of the subject, the substance of which is given below : Having shown that the prophecies are all fulfilled, only fragments of the last few remaining1 to be translated into history, and having demonstrated that the leading "signs" already emblazon the sky, by the appearance of which the Savior himself declared, "So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that He is near, even at the doors," the preacher proposed an arithmetical calculation, based on Daniel's numercal prophecies, which point to November 8, 1894, as the date of the expected command to re-build the temple at Jerusalem ; to March 5,1896, or sixty-nine weeks after the last, as the probable time of the actual coming of Jesus as bridegroom to receive his bride; to April 11,1901, as the date of the close of-this dispensation and the opening of the millennial age?that is, conformable to the preceding dates in the calculation. Special pains were taken to emphasize the fact that these dates are not so many predictions, but that, inasmuch as three other great events suspended upon the same calculation have come to pass on the precise day pointed to by the prophetical numerals .of Daniel, we should not be surprised if the fourth and last event likewise fell upon its date; and that, to say the least, these figures seem so in harmony with the undoubted stage of the signs and the prophecies, that we may "know," as Jesus says we should know, "that he is nigh, even at the doors." It was repeated that the calculation was displayed simply to arouse our dull sense to a sense of the importance of studying God's word and the signs of the times, bearing upon this great event for which all other events were made. By believing what our Lord said, Matt, xxiv., 15,16, and looking out for the sign of the destruction of Jerusalem, every believing Jew escaped unharmed from the beleaguered city to Pelham, whereas hun? dreds of thousands perished because of that unbelief that laughed to scorn the very idea of such a doom and heeded not the .warning. Even so with reference to our Lord's coming. The promise that he will "appear the second time without a Bin-offering unto salvation" is made only '.So SichsaB#I?ok for him." * The occupancy of Jerusalem once again by the Jews?nearly 50,000 already there and tho. number increasing daily, as the last week's papers announce, and their turning to Jesus of Nazareth, as their re? deemer and hope, indicate, beyond ques? tion, that we are in the twilight of the present age. Compare, Bom. xi, 25 with Luke xxi, 24, and "be not faithless, but believing." The one special sign now just in the near future, according to all indications, is a command to rebuild the temple. This I must be preceded by a war in Europe that will restore the ten-kingdom empire, for which portents already appear on the horizon of the east. I would simply say to the people, be wise like the Christian I Jews who lived in the awful times of the typical destruction, and read the secular press each week to see when the command ! to restore the temple goes forth?when that comes, the remaining events will rush in upon the world with more than electrical rapidity. And the Jews may be expected soon to prepare the restora? tion of the temple. Like the Franco Prussian and Turko-Bussian wars, which were wars of prophecy?this last great prophetic war may be sudden, sharp, quick and decisive. We are living in an hour of startling events?this is denied only by scoffers and such as willfully negotiate the study of these great subjects. It becomes all to set their houses in order. Let the saints of God say, "Even so, come Lord Jesus." And let every one who reads these words make haste to pre pare to meet the descending Lord. "Be? lieve on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved." The doctor's views have created much comment, and many speculations. He is giving this matter special study, and may be heard from egain. Deafness Can't he Cured By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There ia only one way to cure deafness, and that is by. constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi? tion of the mucous lining of the Eusta chian Tube. When this Tube gets in? flamed you have a rumbling sound or im? perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation 'can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condi? tion of the mucous surfaces.

Atlanta Constitution. So many changes?so many depart? ures. . As in the purity of the judiciary stands the hope of constitutional government, so in the purity of the ministry stands the hope of the church and the survival of virtue. Say what you may about lawyers, but to day they are the safeat?I do not say the purest?class with a great prestige of brains and numbers in all this free America. Judge Bleckley could no more be made to prostitute his high office by entering political wrangles with his judicial cloak about him than Stone mountain could be moved away with a blowgun. As long as suoh as he are at the helm to guide the judiciary of Georgia, we're safe, mighty I safe, on that line, but there are other highly important points to watch, and we should often stop, look around and ask: J "Whither are we drifting?" Up to the time that Guiteau killed President Garfield, I believed mightly strongly "inspiration." Guiteau sorter shook my faith on this "inspiration" bus? iness, and I went to ^studying. Forty years ago I believed strongly in the "calling" of preachers, and so did all the folks of my age, and as long as the "call? ed" stuck to the plow and done their preaching without so much passing around of the hat, I never thought about anything else but its being all right, and all folks of my age thought the same thing, but when so many fellows begin to be "called," and "called" from mingling with the senms to enter right into run? ning the whole machinery of tbe Chris? tian world, it put me to studying. I am a great believer in the church, and I am a great lover of preachers, and I believe yet that God "calls" 'em to preach His word, but these called ones? these truly called ones?are scarcely ever heard of these times, and they' verify the old-time saying, that "Jordan is a hard road to travel." They could no more be made to enter any wrangle for the purpose of gain or self aggrandizement than you could turn Judge Bleckley from a conscientious discharge of his official duties, and they were not "called" while the scent of liquor was yet. upon their breath. The Lord would get all the liquor outen a fellow before calling him, is my notion?tbe devil, though, ain't bo particular, and he's subtle, mighty subtle, and a fellow with liquor in him for a long time could be deceived in the matter of voices. After studying and studying, I have decided that tbe purest of preachers and the best of. women are the ones who are never advertised, and boast not. Good Lord deliver us from politicians, is my prayer, and I do hope that the prayer of a wicked old man will be I answered one time. But politicians have the virtue of playing their part just to win and everybody knows it?deceit in tbem is legitimate, science. When the "grangers" were booming and looked as if they were going to "plump out the middle man" in commer? cial affairs; there was great commotion, and nobody could tell where it was going to end, but the politicians settled it all? they worked the "grangers" into politics and then they had 'em. It was the talk, not so very long ago, that if the "Farmer's Alliance" could be got into p'ilitics they would be settled. I don't know about this; I don't see how they are going to get along without going into politics, but I do hope that it will be a purified politics if they do go in, and if they can purify political matters in this country it will be a great thing, but it'b a big job, and remember I told you so. And the church?can they enter poli? tics? There are lots of these "suddenly called" fellows who bravely enter in with coats off and sleeves rolled up, and they are making a great success financially, for themselves, but I'm er feared they'll down the church; not down it either, for there will be the pure old ministers left hammering away at the devil, preach? ing scripture, free from sensation, with? out price and without desire for fame, till the Lord will hear their crieB and take us back to old-time ways and old time Christianity?wickedness may flour? ish for a while, but the reaction will come and there will be great hustling to get back. Old Lorenzo Dow was one of these traveling preachers?and he was a good one. But there was much difference in his methods and the methods of these late day "evangelists." Any fellow can be an "evangelist" these days, and if he draws well and has a good fellow along with him to attend to tbe hat-passing, he soon gets rich and can take it leisurely along on the "sleepers" and "dinning" cars, only stopping at such places as needs stirring up. Old Lorenzo traveled the trails through heat and cold, rain and snow, swimmiDg tbe streams and going hungry, and there was no sizing up of congregations, no passing of hats, but upon the principle that where a few were gathered together there waj the Lord also; he preached and went on his way rejoicing. There are too many departures these days from old wayB, and where is it to atop ? This young generation are begin? ning to think very little of the church. Where there are so many societies?all claiming to bo about as good as tbe church?it i3 not strange that the youths are drifting. There is nothing as good as the church! There is nothing as good as Bible teachings, and anything which diverts from that line is dangerous, is damnable, is tbe notion of an old man, and remem? ber I told you so. I have been watching this drifting away. You couldn't get a crowd togeth? er to listen to your sure enough minister when there was some fellow over the way that would tickle their ears with anec? dotes, some of 'em pretty questionable, too, to save your life. I uster think it was wrong for the PresbyteriaoB to think their church better than the Baptist or vice versa, but I've changed my notions. Teach the youths that their church is better than any other church, any other society and that the leant departure Is ? dangerous, because there is no end to them. Stick to the old church, to the old preachers, and get back to old-time ways as soon as you can, or the country will be lost. Sarge Plunkett. A War Waif. I enlisted as a private in the Second Louisiana Volunteers in 1861. My nrst real soldiering was on the Yorktown Pe? ninsula. While there or at Suffolk (I forget which) there strolled into camp a young boy, not over ten or twelve years of age, who attached himself to one of the neighboring regiments. Who he was, his name or where he came from, I can? not now recall. He was looked upon as "No Man's Child," as such found genial fellowship among the soldiers. I soon realized that he was a cosmopol? itan, and at home anywhere, for I next saw him the pet of the First South Caro? lina Volunteers. How long he Btayed with them I cannot say. It was nearly a year before I saw him again. Hjs small form and boyish face were a great contrast to the men among whom he mingled. I remember then how odd it seemed to see that child in a camp, but he was truly "the child of the regiment." After we had fallen back to Eichmond, and after those terrible seven days' of battle, the army was reorganized, and the troops brigaded by States, so I lost sight of our Carolina neighbors, and also the boy. At the second Manassas, on the 29th of Augnst, 1862, our brigade (Starks, poor fellow, h6 fell at Sharpsburg) was lying in the woods nearly opposite "that terri? ble deep cut." When the dripping, spat? tering fire of the Yankee skirmishers drove in^our outlookere, (as "old Jack" didn't have a counter skirmish line,) the cry "Forward" rang along our lines, and we advancedJand/ran almost into the Yankees, who, giving us a deadly volley, fell back rapidly across a field, and into the woods beyond, where a battery, sup? ported by a swarm of troops, was posted. Nothing checked us. Under a withering fire of minies and canister we pressed on, Bushrod Johnston riding ahead, and with his sword run through his hat, waving us on until we waved him out of our line of fire by yelling to him to clear the way. When we arrived within about a hun? dred yards of tho battery the line was baited, and under this raking fire the alignment was corrected and the men "right dressed" to be shot down. I have often thought that that command of "halt" might have been heroic, but it certainly "was not war;" however, not a man faltered. Again forward, and we drove straight for the guns. Just then I felt a thud, a sting, a twist around and I fell. A minie had struck my pocket Bible edgewise, and, passing nearly through the New Testament part, dug a trench across my left side into the flesh. With the blood spurting from my side I started rearward, while our boys, brave fellows, went up to and over the battery, scattering its supporters like chaff. As I struggled back over the field, the dead and wounded, blue and gray alike, lying all around, I heard a great rum? bling on my left and noticed that our guns were plunging to the front under lash and shout, to seize the hills whence to pour shot into the now retreating foe. I can see them now tumbling, bouncing, surging to gain the front. What else did I Bee ? So close I-could almost reach him, the little boy, sitting on the limber of one of the pieces, his eyes aflame, his hat wav? ing, his treble voice shouting excitedly, and his' whole being lit up and aglow with the terrible magnetism of battle?cheer? ing on the line. I have never seen him since. He passed on and was lost in the cloud and smoke of the field, bnt the memory of that in? spiring scene will never fade _ A. L. S. Washing out the Stomach. During the past year several physicians in Now York have tried, with a gratify? ing success, a novel treatment for dyspep? sia and cancer of the stomach by wash? ing out that organ. The process is very simple ' and not dangerous. A long flexible pipe is passed down the throat until one end is in the stomach. The upper end has a funnel attached, into which hot water is poured until the stomach is filled. The weight of water in the pipe and funnel gives a hydraulic pressure sufficient to diBtend the [stom? ach. The pipe has an aperture big enough to hold a lead pencil. After the stomach has been filled, the funnel end of the pipe is turned down until it 1b lower than the bottom of the stomach, and the stomach is emptied as a barrel of any fluid is emptied through a siphon. The process may be repeated several times. The result is that the undigested food and mucus are washed out, and the hot water closes the blood vessels and reduces in? flammation. Tho relief is immediate. The dyspeptic may have his stomach washed out before a meal, so that he can take a fresh start. After the lapse of a sufficient time for ordinary digestion, the stomach may be washed out again. This process has been in use at the New York Hospital, we are informed, for sometime. ?Scientific American. ? Talking of patent medicines?you know the old prejudice. And the doctors ?some of them are between you and us. They would like you% think that what's cured thousands won't cure you. You'd believe in patent medicines if they didn't profess to cure everything?wn? so, be? tween the experiments of doctors, and the experiments of patent medicines that are sold only because there's money in the "stuff," you lose faith in everything. And, you can't always tell the pre?crip tion that cures by what you read in the papers. So, perhaps, there's no better way to sell a remedy, than to tell the truth about it, and take the risk of its doing just what it professes to do. That's what the World's Dispensary Medical Association, of Buffalo, N. Y., does with Dr. Tierce's Golden Medical Discovery and Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre? scription.

"The details of the surrender to Sher? man have never been told," said Gen. Joe Johnston, a few weeks before his death, relates Eugene Field in the Chicago Neics. "They will probably never be known to the public?I refer, of course, to personal incidents that seem amusing now, but which at that remote time were full of tragic and pathetic meaning to us. I recall one day that I went over to Sherman's headquarters to talk over the preliminaries of the proposed surrender. 01 course, it was my wish to secure the best terms I could; I want ed to spare my people all unnecessary humiliation. It occurred to me that if Sherman's feelings could be worked upon?if his heart could be touched?I would be able to secure more advantage? ous terms from him. Accordingly, on this particular occasion, I asked him if upon the following day I might bring John C. Breckinridge over.to talk with him. "And who is Breckinridge?" asked Sherman. " 'He is our Secretary of War,' said I. "'No, sir,' said Sherman, harshly; 'I shall allow no civilian to interfere in this matter. We are to conduct this affair upon a basis of war and as between sol? diers.' " 'But,' said I, determined to bring Breckinridge's eloquence to my asaistancej 'our Secretary of War is a major-general in our army.' "'Very well then,' said Sherman,'I should be glad to talk with Gen. Breckin? ridge. but I intend that no civilian shall have to do with this matter.' 'Next day Breckinridge and I started for Sherman's headquarters. Now Breck? inridge was a man who had been used to his ten or twelve drinks per diem. Cir? cumstances over which none of us had any control had finally cut off all sup? plies. Breckinridge was simply perish? ing for want of a drink. I recall how, as we toiled along in the heat, poor Breck? inridge sighed dolorously, and kept reiterating his pining for a keg of fine old Kentucky sour masb. At last in sheer despair, he reached around and whipped out of his pocket a 'long, thin plug of green tobacco. That, too, was a rare luxury at that particular time. A friend bad given it to him only the day before. He bit off an ample chew, and as we trudged along on our way, he solemnly masticated the cud, as though, forsooth, he hoped thereby to allay the cravings of his parched fauces. When we reached the headquarters Sherman was not there, but presently he came in with a Bet of saddle-bags over his arm. He was as cheerful as a breath of early spring. "'Gentlemen,' said Sherman,'I have brought Borne hospital supplies. Will you honor me, Gen. Breckinridge, by sampling this brandy?" "Breckinridge made no answer. I shall never forget how deftly he got his hands up to bis lips, gathered that tobac? co out of his mouth, and hurled the odious quid into an obscure corner. Upon my word, 'twas pathetic. " 'You say when,' said Sherman, tip? ping up the bottle and pouring out the cool, delicious beverage. "But, bless you! Breckinridge was not the man to 'cry enough.' No, sir, be just let Sherman fill the glass to the top, and then at one prodigious draught he drained off the amber liquid. The effect was instantaneous; all at once he was the Breckinridge of old. And eloquent ? Never before had the man pleaded for hia fellows as John C. Brecdinridge pleaded for hia fellow-Confederates that day. Antiquity was ransacked for instances illustrating the benignity and mercy of conquerors to conquered; the realms of poetry were invaded, and bitB of tender verse were utilized to soften the auditor's proud heart; history, biography, philos? ophy?yes, every art was employed to gain the speaker's end; it was 8 master? piece of scholarahip, of oratory, of elo? quence, of pathoB. "Sherman was visibly affected. With his hands thrust down into the pockets of his trousers, he paced restlessly to and fro. I never saw a man more deeply moved. He strove to but could not conceal his agitation. When finally Breckinridge ended and sat down, Sher? man said not a word for several momenta, but continued to pace the floor nervously. Breckinridge reached around, drew forth the plug of green tobacco, and bit off another chew. The silence, so long un? broken, became painful. "At last Sherman turned to the saddle? bags, picked them up, produced the brandy bottle again, and poured out a noble horn of the fiery substance. As deftly as before, Breckinridge put bis hands to his lips and made away with his quid of tobacco. But no, the brandy was not for him this time; Sherman tossed down the coveted draught him? self. "The draught was fiery; it rasped Sherman's throat and brought the water into his eyes. But, pulling himself together, Sherman looked straight at Breckinridge and said: "'General, you find a virtue in this brandy that I do not find. It was hop? ing it might give me, too, the errudition, the eloquence, the tenderness and the. power with which you have wrought upon me. Gen Breckinridge, I believe that it I were to give you another tum bleful of this brandy, you would be in? spired to efforts so godlike that before sunset I should surrender the Union arms to you, instead of demanding the surrender of your arms to me!' "Sometime after this incident," coni:n ued Gen. Johnston, "I was talking with Breckinridge, and Sherman's name hap? pened to be mentioned. " 'Joe,' said Breckinridge, I can never forgive Sherman for denyiogme a second drink that day. Do you know, I bad half a notion to say that day, when ho paid that tribute to my eloquence: Gen? eral, if I have not accomplished the melting of your heart, I have at least earned , another chance at the hospital stores; suppose we compromise to that extent ?" ?
