My good, happy, genial friend, Charley Lane, delivered a most enjoy able lecture on the analysis of laugh ter, or "Why Do We Laugh." Now, if he will analyze our tears and tell us why do we weep, we will the better understand another one of the mjs tcries of our emotional humanity. Why does a man weep when there is no sorrow in his heart?especially an old man?a veteran ? If it were not pathetic, it would be funny to see the tears in these old soldiers' eyes as they met and marched and listened to the martial music or sat together un der the sound of words that came from the lips of old men eloquent? old comrades in arms?words that awakened soul stirring memories and quickened into life the hard but heroic scenes that were living facts a third of a century ago. How hard they look?these old soldiers?hard in face and feature but soft in heart. It seems to me I can pick them out from common people. Every wrinkle tells of service, of suffering and disappoint ment. The broze on their furrowed faces ha? never yet been bleached and their walk is still a true but tired march. Yes, I can pick them out all around me. Look at old Captain Neal and Major Foute and McCand less and Durham and Mountcastle. They can't hurry now. Their quick step has gone. They marched and counter-marched, they advanced and retreated, they charged and double quicked for four long years until the spring of their instep wa3 worn down to a plane with heel and toe and now it is a fact that the hollow of the foot makes a hole in the ground. But why should an old man weep ? I remember that when Ben Hill's statue was uncovered and the great speeches were over and queenly Win nie Davis was brought forward on the platform and presented to us as the daughter of the Confederacy by General Gordon, acclamations rent the air and reached the heavens and made the welkin r?Dg. Then everybody cried except those Who had no feeling, nc emotion?no patriotism. Old Gen eral Black was leaning heavily upon me and I felt the quiver of his mas sive frame. He leaned more heavily and I turned quickly to look into his face and saw the tears "coursing down as freely as if he were a boy. As I brushed my own away I said : "What is the matter. General ? Do you want some' water? Are you about to faint?" "Oh, no?no," said he, "just let me alone and hold me up a little. I am feeling good. Thank God for His mercies. I feel like old Nicodemus when he said, 'Now let me die since I have seen thy salvation.' " The medical books tell us that tears are contagious. We all know that and have experienced it, but ordinarily our tears come from our own emotions and not from another's. I suppose that there were probably,ten thousand bona fide veterans at Nashville, and while under the influence of the occa sion, the surroundings, the memories of the past and the thoughts that breathed and the words that burned, they all shed tears or felt like it. What a spectacle for Northern eyes. What a commentary on Northern in tolerance. How long will it take to eradicate our love for the lost cause of our admiration for its heroes. Like father, like son and daughter, and it is already transmitted down the line from generation to generation and in a few years more these reunions will be baptized with another name and be called the sons of the Confederate veterans. I said that probably there were ten thouaand real bona fide Con federate veterans gathered at Nash ville, for it is a fact that our-veterans are swiftly passing away. There are not 100,000 now alive?not more than one in seven of all who served. There might have been more, but unpension ed soldiers don't live forever ; neither do they multiply as the years roll on. ' Time cuts dowD al! Both great and Email." Except a pensioned soldier. No. For the peace and brotherhood of all our people it would have been far better for the North to* have said thirty years ago : "Now let us be brethren. You thought you were right and maybe you were. You fought a good fight and shall have your share of all this pension money." If Lincoln had lived he would have said so and stood on that platform. Walter Scott says : "Woe awaits a country when she sees the tears of bearded men," and so it would be bet ter to conciliate our people with kind ness rather than to alienate them with abuse and unfriendly legislation. See what a martyr and a hero our people have made of Sam Davis, the noble boy who held his honor dearer than his life. And this reminds me to say that I have a letter, a good letter, The way people eat and .drink has perilous conse quences. Very few people know how to treat their stomachs. Kating too much ; or not enough; or the wrong kind of food; or at the wrong time?gets the digestive organs into such a thoroughly disor dered condition that at last noth ing whatever can be digested. When the appetite fails and the liver becomes sluggish, the whole system is dragged down and deadened by imperfect nutrition. There is noth ing in the world which restores or ganic tone and vigor so quickly and scientifically as Dr. Pierce's Golden Med ical Discovery. It acts directly upon the nutritive organ ism; it gives the stomach power to extract a high percentage of nourishment from the food, and enables the liver to filter all bili ous poisons out of the circulation; it puts the red, vitalizing life-giving elements into the blood, and builds up solid flesh, mus cular force and healthy nerve-power. In all debilitated conditions and wasting diseases it is vastly superior to malt extracts or any mere temporary stimulants. It gives permanent strength. It is better than nau seous emulsions, because it is agreeable to the weakest stomachs. Whenever constipation is one of the complicating causes of disease, the most perfect remedy is Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, which are always effective, yet ab solutely mild and harmless. There nevr was any remedy invented which can take their place. "In August, iPq.s, I was taken down with what my physician pronounced consumption," writes Ira t). Herring, of Nccdmorc, Levy Co., Florida. " My trouble continued for several months. Four bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden .Medical Discovery cui ed me." from H. S. Halbert, of Crawford, Miss., who was an army comraue of Calvin Crozier, the Texas soldier who was put to death by order of Colonel Trowbridge at Newberry, S. ft, for re senting an insult given a lady by a. negro soldier. I wrote of this in a former letter and of the monument the good people of Newberry had erected to his memory. The negro was but slightly wounded and in the confusion in the car another man was arrested for the deed. When Crozier learned this he gave himself up and was shot at sunrise. Mr. Halbart had never heard of Crozier's fate until he read it in the Constitution and he now begs for more information concerning him and his sad fate. Will some one who knows please write to him. He says that Crozier was a noble man and a gallant soldier and belonged to Goode's battery organized at Dallas, Tex. Sam Davis and Calvin Crozier were but two. We had many more just like them, but they were not so tried. But speaking of tears and war the most touching lines ever written were by Langhorne, who died more than one hundred years ago : "Cold on Canadian hills or Minden's plain, That weeping mother mourned her hus band slain ; Bent o'er her babe, her eye dissolved in dew? The big drops mingling with tho milk ho drew. What a sad presage of his future years? The child of misery baptized in tears." What could be more sweetly, sadly pitiful. No wonder that Burns shed tears when he looked at the print that had been made of the scene. Why has not some great artist taken the hint and painted it to the life?the mother seeking her dead husband among the slain on a battlefield and weeping over her child as he nursed from her breast?"the big drops ming ling with the milk he drew." It is enough to make an angel weep. It is enough to emphasize General Sher man's pitiless remark that? "War is hell." The poet Rogers said the prettiest thing about a tear. He wanted to find a chemist who could crystallize one so that he could wear it as a gem next to his heart for a talisman. Shakespeare calls the tears of an old man "honorable dew that silvers down thy cheeks," and another poet de scribes man as "a pendulum betwixt a smile and a tear." So we will let these old soldiers weep if they wish to. It will do them good for t^ey are not tears of sorrow nor grief. They are the welling up and overflow of sacred memories. It is like unto a man after years and years of wander ing "oing ba^ic to the home of his youtu and greeting his kindred and schoolmates and communing together about the joys and sorrows of the olden time. These veterans all shared a common peril and it is but natural that they should love to get together and talk of it. So let them meet and talk and weep if they feel like it, and curses be upon the heartless set who scoff at it and say oh, let the old war go?we are tired of it. Bill Arp. Irby on McLaurin. Ex-Senator J. L. M. Irby, of L?u reos, was in Columbia yesterday to show his young son the city and on other business, he stated. But what the other business was he did not care to say. After cautioning reporters to avoid asking leading questions, he proceeded to discuss the new tariff doctrines and tenets of Senator Mc Laurin and Tillman. They were like, said the former Senator, who since his retirement to farm life, uses only rural comparisons, a man walking up on another just after he had stolen and butchered a cow belonging to a neighbor, and instead of telling on the guilty party saying to him, "If you don't give me a quarter of the beef I'll tell." But the people of this State, he said, do not approve of their departure from Democratic doctrines. There were seven out of every ten people in South Carolina who were Democrats and not over three out of seven favored such principles as advo cated by McLaurin. Mr. Irby then said he was a Democrat and always had been, but could never accept any other doctrine than "tariff for reve nue only." Ile thought had it been noticed during the last presidential campaign that the word "only" had been omitted from the tariff plank of "tariff for revenue," that the election would have been more disastrous to the Democratic party. Mr. Irby positively refused either to affirm or deny that he was going to participate in any way in the Senato rial primary. He would not even say whether or not he would be present at the opening meeting in Sumter. Before leaving the subject of Mr. McLaurin, the ex-Senator said he did not know what effect the new position of Mr. McLaurin on the dispensary, as shown by his trying to secure the pas sage of Latimer's dispensary bill, would have in the primary. He at tached much importance to it, how ever. The following from the State of June 22, was handed the ex-Senator, but he declined to answer the ques tions contained in it : "As we said, at the time we pub lished 'Up-Country's' lett , we did not undertake to affirm that there was a deal between Evans and Irby where by the latter was to run for Governor next year. But wc do now affirm that there are signs pointing to an alliance between them for some purpose, and that there is occasion for Mr. Irby to be more specinc in his denial. We hope he will answc< ' esc questions : Has he had a rapportment with Evans ? Has he had anything to do with suggesting or inciting the out burst of two Laurcns papers against Ellcrbc and McLaurin ? Has he been in consultation with politicians as to a plan of campaign against them ? Is he in favor of drawing anew the aban doned factional lines in this State ? Wc ask for information, wishing to lix in our own mind and in the minds of our readers the status of the cx Scnator." Mr. Irby intimated that the ques tions might be answered at some fu ture daj', presumably by action and not by words.?Columbia State, June 30. ? If we were all as good as wc ex pect our neighbors to be, there would be immense improvement in society. ? A French paper states that much more candy is consumed in the United States than in any other country of the world. Statistics show that more candy is sold in New York, Chicago and Philadelphia alone than in the whole of France, which is the greatest candy producer of Europe. In the United States there are more than 2,000 candy factories, with a total capital exceeding SI0,01:0,000, and em ploying 10,000 workmen. The annual outlay for raw material is said to ex ceed $32,000,000. SATAN. Is there a Personal Devil??Atlanta Preachers say "Yes." Atlanta Journal. The sermon by Dr. Walker Lewis last Sunday, attacking the Christian Scientists and their "faith cures, has brought up for discussion the question of a personal devil. Dr. W. J. Scott, in a card, says Dr. Lewis believes in the old time religion a personal devil, etc. Dr. Lewis, when asked about the matter, said: "Do I believe there is a personal devil? Of course. I might as rea sonably denythefact of personal men, and personal angels. "Personality implies certain things. If there are these attributes?life, will, intellect and power?there is person. These arc not, and they cannot be, ab stract qualities. They are the ele ments of personal being. Whoever thinks and feels and acts is a person. "Now as to the devil, we must de pend upon what the Bible says of him for accurate knowledge. From Genesis to Revelation his existence, nature and works are declared. He appears in the first temptation deceiv ing the woman into sin with the prom ise of equality unto God in knowledge, and in the temptation of Jesus where his cunning and address were conspic uous. It is likely that he is the head of the revolted angels, 'who kept not their first estate,' and were banished from heaven because of sin. Nor are these intimations of his nature and doings the fancy of dreamers. 'The Son of God calls him the prince of this world,' and in His statement of the end awaiting the finally unreclaimed. He declares that they shall go away into everlasting punishment prepared for the devil and his angels.' "I don't think the head of the kingdom of darkness is such a person as poets and dreamers imagine. He has no tail, or hoofs or pitchfork. I regard him as an archangel in moral ruin, will and spirit, estranged from righteousness, fighting God as many sinners do, though originally of the same nature and possibilities the an gels possessed, deceiving the woman and damning the man. From the be ginning he has been the front and in spiration of every corruption of the church and every attack upon the truth, and the author of every perse cution of the saints from Aeronic hor -9 to the massacre of St. Bartholo ;W. Taking off his garments of uiood, and stealing the livery of an gels, his last exploit is to set up an other church, denying in its creed everything taught by the saints by the word of God and the postulates of common sense for nineteen centuries. "Of course I believe there is a per sonal devil, and in many such." Dr. W. W. Landrum, pastor of the First Baptist Church, says: "The personality of Satan is clearly taught in the Bible. Theology in other centuries may have assigned the devil too large a place and excessive authority and power; superstition in the middle ages and among some of the ignorant of our own time may pre sent him as a laughable caricature; poetry, professedly Christian, as is the case Milton's may dignify him as the almost equal antagonist of the Al mighty; rationalism may reduce him to a so-called 'principle of evil' and agnosticism may shrug its shoulders and declare its indifference to all spir its, human, angelic or diabolic?but the fact remains unchanged and un changeable that the Bible distinctly and repeatedly affirms the existence and personality of Satan or the devil Natural science can give no light when we come to the boundary line which divides mind from matter. Those who believe in the Bible believe in spirit ual existences. Among these some are good and some are evil and chief among the bad is Satan, a fallen spirit or angel, powerful and always the ene my of God and good men, but a being inferior and subordinate to God. "Satan is a subordinate but insur rectionary spirit, working by spiritual means upon the heart of man for its guilt and ruin. Satan has no arbitra ry power over man but is welcomed or repelled by the consent or resist ance of the free agency of man. As an author has well said: 'Satan can not hurt God's elect; his freedom of range on the earth and in the air is that of a chained prisoner UDder sen tence.' "The habit of the thoughtless to sneer at the personality of the devil finds small encouragement among logi cal minds without as well as within the company of professed disciples of Christ." Dr. Barnett, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, says : "I take the Bible as the inspired word of God and as true in every par ticular. It is the only trustworthy source wc have in regard to the spirit ual world. Any truthful interpreta tion of the Bible must show that it believes in a personal devil, and I be lieve in what the Bible savs." Rev. W. A. McCarty, of the Ala bama Conference, is visiting bis son, Rev. T. R. McCarty. He expresses himself as follows on this subject: "I know nothing of the devil except what is revealed in Scripture. If, therefore, a man denies the verity of Scripture I cannot discuss with him. The question then as preliminary to such discussion would be as to the inspiration and truth of Scripture. "I assume, therefore, that the Scriptures are true, and that their teachings are trustworthy. The ques tion then is as to what the Scriptures teach. "He, by whatever name mentioned ?devil. Satan, etc.?is the head and front o? evil doing. Jesus the Christ says to the Jews that would murder him: 'Ye are of your father, the devil. . . . He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. . . . He is a liar and the father of it.'? John 8, 44. Murder and lying could not be predecated of any but a person ality. "In accordance with this teaching of Christ is the tenor of iScripture. " 'The devil sinncthfroni the begin ging, for this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that lie might de stroy the works of the devil.'?John 3,8. "An impersonal sinner whose works arc to be destroyed would be an incon ceivable creature. "But I need not multiply quotations, fcr an impersonal doer of evil is a solecism, an unmitigated absurdity. "If we were to predicate evil doing of a post or of a tree or of a beast wc should have, by a figure of speech, to endow it with personality before we could form the concept of wrong doing. Hence I should have said that to predicate wrong doing of an imper sonal devil is "a absurdity. "Devils in the plural ie not a name for the old offender, but signifies de mons, or wicked spirits of the dead." Rev. A. W. Bealer, pastor of the Fifth Baptist Church, says: "I haven't any better sense than to believe the Bible, taking it by faith rather than by sight. I knew of an old gentleman who laughed at the idea of the world being round and when asked why it was they didn't believe that, replied, 'Because the Bible s.iys its square. It speaks of the four cor ners of the earth and how could it have four corners if it was round?' "As long as the Bidle contains the account of the Saviour's temptation by the devil who took him up into a high mountain, as long as it speaks of the devil going about like a roaming lion seeking whom he may devour, so long will men who believe in the Bi ble believe in a personal devil. If there are those who refuse to believe this I would be glad for them to ex plain to me and a host of others when he left the earth and who it is that is carrying on his business since he de parted." Rev. T. R. McCarty, of St. James Methodist Church, said when seen by a Journal man: "The devil is spoken of in Scrip ture as murderer, liar and the chief agent of evil. These things could not be predicated of any but a person ality. An impersonal devil is an unthinka ble absurdity. "No one but an infidel can doubt that there is a devil. "There is no disagreement among Christians on this subject." Dr. Theron Rice, pastor of the Cen tral Presbyterian Church, says that his vi-ws are the same as those which the Presbyterian doctrine teaches, and which can be found in the confessions of faith. He also says that he be lieves there is a personal devil. When asked if he would not write his views, he said he did not care to write them, and if he did he could not express them as well as did the confession of faith. Rev. T. P. Cleveland says: "Is the devil a person? Undoubt edly, for the Scriptures use name and attributes which cannot be applied with common sense to myths, fancies, influences or emanations. He is a fallen angel, and an angel is a person. Rationalism may ask, How can't it be? Revelation answers, It is so, whether the modus operandi can be appre hended or not. Diabolical agency is almost as clearly taught in the Bible as divine agency. "Is God said to open the eyes of men, the devil is said to blind the eyes of men. "Is God declared a3 working in His children, the devil also is said to work in the children of disobedi ence. "Is God said to fill with the spirit His children, the devil is said to fill the hearts of his servants. "Not, of course, is his work done always personally and directly, which would involve omniscience and omni presence?but as the God of this world he has the world's trinity?the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life, and all kinds of error and agents to employ mediately upon the weak and sinful hearts of mankind to accomplish his nefarious purposes. As. prince of the power of the air, with powers of locomotion, as the slander er or diabolos, accuser of the breth ren, Apollyon, as a liar, tormentor, murderer, etc., how otherwise can wc conceive of him than as a person. And while we might add much to this which would throw light on this mis erable, mischievous and malignant manipulator of men, women and chil dren, it is enough for every one to know that He, who was manifested to destroy the works of the devil, will at last put him under the feet of all who love and serve. Wonderful Helen Keller. The marvel of the modern world, Helen Keller, tho blind girl of Ala bama, whose wonderful progressin her studies for admission to Radcliffe col lege have attracted the attention and aroused the admiration of the wise men of the world, has just celebrated her 17th birthday by beginning her preliminary examination. She was 17 years old last Sunday and she stood her first examination yesterday. Miss Keller has been studying in a preparatory school at Cambridge since last fall. Her instruction in Latin, German, French, history and geogra phy has not been specially difficult since the great improvement in books for the blind. Her text books look like the big office books in use in counting rooms. Tho raised lettere she can read as rapidly as if she could see, and the Brayl system, where a ci pher consisting of dots and dashes takes the place of letters can be read even more rapidly because the matter is more condensed. Books that have never been trans lated for the blind, Miss Keller still reads?not by eight, as do the deaf mutes, nor by listening to others, as do the blind who can hear. She sim ply places her hand over the fingers of the one who is reading, by using the sign language of the deaf, and catches every word. In this way she has cov ered the whole range of her preparato ry studies. For her arithmetic a spe cial slate was invented, and she has become an accurate and ready worker in mathematics. Miss Keller has been provided with a planetarium, upon which she can feel the positions of the heavenly bodies and has gained a clear idea of their relations to each other. The whole world will watch the progress of this wonderful girl's ex amination for entrance to Radcliffe college, on which the hope of her life is staked. In studying these exami nations, the papers arc read to her and she writes the answers on a type writer. Her intelligence is preter naturally keen, her enthusiasm in domitable and her ambition boundless Many thousands that do not know her will pray that she may succeed.?At lanta Journal. ?

Historic Churchyard in Upper Carolina. Writing from Anderson to the Co lumbia State, a correspondent tells of a visit he paid to two historic church yards in upper South Carclina, the "garncn spot" of the State. "I never passed through a more beautiful por tion of South Carolina," he writes. "It must be called an idci.l land of hill and plain, w; " the Blue Ridge generally in full .cw. In this leafy month of June, the prospect was espe cially plcasiDg and the men of the County looked hearty and strong. The forests and the cultivated fields and the homes all looked attractive, and the air was glorious r*A the water cool and pure." Upon reaching Pendletoii, by the home of the late Col. T. J. Pickens, where his son, Captain Picicns, and his daughter, Miss Eliza Pickens, now reside, I visited St. Paul's Church, of which the Rev. Andrew H. Cornish was for twenty-seven years rector. The churchyard is historic ground. A monument to two Confederate Gen erals?one monumentfor two?attracts attention. You see the letters "B" and "'S" inscribed together, and you read as follows on the face: "Bar nard Elliott Bee, Brigadier General Confederate States Army. Died July 2i, 1861, of wounds received in the battle of Manassas, July 21, 1361. Age 37 years and 5 months." On another face : "Gen. . E. Bee. "If thou r. noble soldier art That passest by this grava, man, There moulders here a gal ant heart, For this man was a brave man." On one face : "Clemen H. Stevens, Brigadier General, Confederate States Army. Born August 14,1821. Mor tally wounded in the battle of Atlan ta, July 20, 1864. Died July 25, 1864." On another face : "Gcu. C. H. Ste vens. "If thou art staunch without a stain, Like the unchanging blue, man ; This wat. a kineman o' thine aln, For this man was a truo man." Here also is the burial ground of the Calhouns and the Clemsons. The marble slab to Mrs. Calhoun's me:mo ory bears this inscription : "Sacred to the memory of Mrs. Flo ride Calhoun, relict of John C. Cal houn. Born Feb. 15, 1792. Died July 25, 1866;" There is a handsome shaft to the memory of Clemson, which bears this inscription : "Hon. Thomas G. Clem son, founder of the Clemson Agricul tural College of South Carolina. Born July 1,1807. Died April, 1888." There are many other historic names on the marble of this old cemetery. Among them is this memorial : "Char lotte Cotcsworth Pinckney. Born in Charleston, ? 1789. Died in Abbe ville, ? 1865. Aged 76 years." And this : "Governor Frank Buist of Nebraska Territory. Dicci 1854." I next visited the famous old Stone Church (Presbyterian) about fcur miles beyond Pendleton. It is a rectangu lar solid stone structure, large enough to accommodate in the body of the church and gallery about 350 souls. It was built by John Busk, stone ma son. His son was Senator Husk, of Texas. Stone Church was organized in 1787. It was first known as Keoweo Hope well. The congregation in 1324 was transferred to Pendleton waen nhe church in Pendleton was built, and known as the Hopewell Pendleton church. It is now known as the Pen dleton Presbyterian church. There are many Revolutionary and Confederate graves in the "city of the dead" amid the trees of the forest. Here is such silence as we find in the pathless woods, and here society where none intrudes except occasional visi tors to the sacrccf spot. The oldsst slab contains the following tribute : "General Andrew Pickens Born 13 September, 1739. Died August 11, 1817. He was a Christian, Patriot and Soldier. His character and ac tions are incorporated within ime his tory of this country. Filial affection and respect raise, this stone to his memory." Here, too, is a slab >;o the memory of Governor Andrew Pickens, who was a lieutenaut-colonel of the war of 1812. There are other historic graves. A huge, heavy mass of granite uniquely cut and dressed, stands to the. memo ry of the two gallant Confederates, the Lewis brothers, one killed in bat tle and the other by a deserter he was about to capture in order to return bini io his duty. Here, too, are monuments to the gallant Col. James Wm. Livingston, of Orr's Rifles, and to that noble character, of knightly type, CoLF. W. Kilpatrick, who was killed in the "Wills' Valley battle, near Chattanoo ga. Ho was engaged to Miss Willie Porter, of Maryland, and his last words were?as "Personne," in whose arms L died, says?"Mother," "Wil lie." Between two lofty pines in an ud marked grave rests the dust of the Bynum of Richland County, who was killed in a duel with Governor B. F. Perry, fought on an island in the Tugaloo. at a point near the boundary between South Carolina and Georgia. ? The ostrich hen lays every other day, and the egg weighs about three pounds ; it is a tasty and nutritious food, however prepared, very rieh and excellent for making pastry and cakes. It is generally computed to be equal to two dozen fowls' eggs ; but this must be on account of its superior richness, for, from personal experi ment, the empty shell of a fairly large one exactly held the contents of eighteen fowls' eggs. It takes about forty minutes to boil an ostrich egg hard. The period of incubation is about six weeks.?The Zoologist. ? Last summer one of o^r grand children was sick with a severe bowel trouble.

The early days after the war between the States were filled-in this section of the country with experiences often thrilling and exciting, and quite commonly of an unpleasant kind, while now and then there was a rift in the clouds. The Federal garrisons in the more prominent towns were not always composed of gentlemen, to say the least of it, and there was frequent oc casion to complain of their conduct. The officers did riot invariably set a good example of discipline nor would they restrain the men at all times. But there were notable exceptions among he officers in command of these troops, nd especially those who had seen real service through the war were much inclined to behave consid erately towards our people. In some instances, it must be admitted, there were provocations and exasperating occurrences that did not tend to soothe and placate our erstwhile enemy, and doubtless these incidents had a sour ing effect upon the officers in charge of the troops. Among the soldiers that came to garrison the upper part of South Carolina was the Fifteenth Maine, and its headquarters were in the town of Anderson, which was the centre of operations for a band of fearless bushwhackers, led by the in trepid Manse Jolly, a native of Ander son County, whose lieutenants were Largent and Williams, bold, courage ous youths who were not willing to ad mit that peace had come, and who be lieved that the Yankees were their le gitimate prey. Among the officers of the Fifteenth M.?ine was a handsome young man, whose social qualities and genteel be havior soon attracted the good-will of ex Confederates, and Adjutant H. A. Johnson was not long in establishing cordial relations with the citizens of Anderson. His position in the regi ment threw him in contact with the people every day, and he was instru mental in rendering valuable service to the community when troubles arose between the races growing out of their new relations. Adjutant Johnson was not only kindly treated, but he was held in high esteem by all who knew him. After the lapse of more than thirty-years we are permitted to renew the acquaintance with him, by means of a recent correspondence, which came about in this way: A mutual friend in Anderson has been meeting with Mr. Johnson on occasional visits at his home in Worcester, Mass., and not long ago he wrote to the editor of the Mountaineer that Mr. Johnson was desirous of being introduced to Gen. John B. Gordon by some one who knew hin in Anderson. Gen. Gordon was to deliver his celebrated lecture on "The Last Days of the Confederacy" in the city of Worces ter on the 28th of April, and Mr. Johnson belonged to the committee on reception, but he wished to have a direct introduction from one of his Southern friends. The letter was promptly sent and duly presented to Gen. Gordon, and there lies before us a grateful letter of thanks from Mr. Johnson, expressing the delight experienced by the people of Worcester in hearing the hero of Spottsylvania, and alluding in glowing terms to his own experience in Ander son, which place he says has a very warm niche in his heart. He adds: "I hope some time to be able to visit the place where courtesies hardly tp be expected were received from the Southern people, but they arc appre ciated all the more on this account. I am proud of the South; of her push and patriotism, and of the position she has taken in the nation. I am proud of her war record, for the length of the struggle was the best proof as to the sort of men she had." This is the ut terance of a brave, honorable man who fought against the South, and we pity the narrow, prejudiced individual who does not respond to high and holy sen timents like these coming from a Fed er 1 soldier. In the city of Worcester, a memorial sermon was preached on Decoration day by the Rev. S. B. Meeser, in which this language occurs: "The first grand duty of patriotism we must learn from the honored dead is mag nanimity. It belongs to the victor to be magnanimous. You need not fear to concede that our kinsmen of the South fought with a good conscience. You neen not hesitate to believe and own them a valiant foe. You need not believe in their principles, and you may condemn them; but you can honor the courage of their convictions, their bravery on the battle-field and their love of home. Who cannot honor these virtues in another cannot truly himself possess them. The magnet knows the steel among the dust; the pig of rough iron knows nothing." Words fitly spoken, like apples of gold in pictures of silver! They do credit to the head and hearl; of an American, who looks upon his countrymen with feelings of comradeship, and is not stinted in his praises of their virtue and valor. As this bit of reminis cence is being printed, the survivors of the Lost Cause arc gathered by thousands in the city of Nashville, the capital of the volunteer State, whose sons fought on either side of the great struggle, and there can be no holier inspiration for the occasion than comes from the honest expres sion of a Federal soldier whose re spect and reverence for the Confeder ate is sincere and genuine.?Green ville Mountaineer. A Simple Disinfectant. It is a fact not generally taken into account, because but imperfectly un derstood, that pure, fresh, cold water is one of the most valuable disinfec tants, inasmuch as it is a powerful ab sorbent. Every sick-room should have a large vessel of clear water, frequently renewed-placed near the bed. This not only ab .orbs much of the hurtful va por, but by its evaporation, it softens and tempers the atmosphere, doing away with the dryness which is so trying and depressing to an invalid, or even to persons in health, for that matter. It has frequently been shown by actual experiment that troubled sleep and threatened insomnia are cor rected by so simple a thing?as the placing of an open bowl of water near the sufferer's bed. On the same prin ciple, water which has been standing in an open vessel in a sleeping-room or a sick-room, should under no con dition be used for drinking; nor should any liquid intended as a bev erage be allowed thus to stand open to contamination.?Northwestern. ?
