BILL ARP'S LETTER.
Tears will Come when War Veterans
Meet.
Atlanta Constitution.
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

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

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

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.

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.

From Federal to Confederate.
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

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.
