VETERANS A] [ Ag} i ts * ind HI inflows Ml?nix Ci The veterans from the Potomac to lit?- Kio ti ramie who arc organizing their delegations to attend the ('on federate reunion in Atlanta regard the war with Spain as a very small affair when they compare it with thal lr?' mcudous contlict which raged hetwenn tho States a generation ugo. Au old-timer who remembers thc conditions prevailing here during tho sixties eannol fail c> 1>" amused au?! surprised when lu- hears thc talk of tin younger men who arc now discuss ing the situation. lu our civil war th?' South was I hi j invaded section. During hoi heroic i struggle of four years she iva.? liol ame lo muster more than Ol.tJOO menlo face the I?,000,000foemen whuassuiled j her from every quarter, ''in terri- j tory iva.- o vor ru II, oin ports were j blockaded and our -oldicrs mid people, j without resources and credit were starved into Submission. All that time thc rieh and progres j sive North enjoyed her in?*L prosper 1 nus days. She had credit, horne re sources, all thc world lo draw upon i foi recruits, and there was in> danger | of a destructive invasion. i So thc Northern people fattened upon thc war. Their currency was in flated; commerce and industry flour ished; the great West was built up. there was work for everybody, and thc masses had more money, more com forts and luxuries than they ever had before.' Their prosperity was so great that thousands of contractors ?md manu facturers wanted to prolong thc con flict. They saw thc bright side ?>f war, and they exerted themselves to delay thc return of peace. Their lob byists tampered with thc federal Con j gross and courted the favor of high j officials. j The whole North was drunk with excitement. I'coplc ceased to hoard money, and extravagance and display ! became thc thc oilier of the day. No j ? Tuan, woman or child able to work or j willing tu bog had any excuse for go j ing without employment, money and j thc comforts of life. The majority of American million aires date their rise from tho.se turbu lent days. lt is natural that the Southern peo ple should dread war under any cir cumstances, but there is no basis of fact for thc apprehensions of some timid and inexperienced persons .ho soem determined to do more than their ?hare of talking and writing. In a war with Spain, or any other foreign country, thc chances will bc altogether in our favor. Thc South, in common with thc entire Unieu, will have little to fear from an invasion. No foreign army can be transported over the sea in sufficient numbers and with an equipment that will enable it to march through States and lay their cities in ashes, after thc fashion of Sherman. Possibly some of our sea board towns may bo bombarded, but there will be no lighting in the interi or. This country will be even more ad vantageously situated than the North was during the civil war, while Spain will be. so far as her Cuban territory is concerned, as unfortunately situated as thc South was from sixty-one to sixty-live. The Spaniards have a tol erably strong navy, but they cannot raise large armies, nor can they pre vent us from blockading the Cuban ports. They have little money and no credit, and they ure menaced by revolutions ut home. Should one or two Kuropcau powers Bide with Spain, thc situation would not be materially changed. Hostili ties would be prolonged, but wt Hie able to put 10,000,000 men in thc field and build mightier [.fleets than thc worid has ever seen. Kurope cannot afford to fight us. She must have our products, and it ?Crves her best interests to remain at peace with us. The old Confederates who lived on gunpowder and i grit for four years have no patience with the calamity howlers of the new generation, who arc trumping np*oxcuscs for shirking their duty when cthcir ^country calls them to anns. t? ray-haired veterans like bee.

Thc kickers andjlnugards-are. as a rule, to be found among, the young and able bodied money-grubbers, who think r.?orc of dollars than of duty. lt is a lamentable fact that in this commercial age tho ginoncy t devil is making courage [und- .patriotism very "Unpopular virtues among certain .lasses <d' mir people.

The home marke! may make g.i t he ioss ol' Spanish ti ade. Some people say that capital will hide "'it. now enterprise* ?ill 1" held hack and hard times will eome. Such conditions obtain in a weak country in danger of being conquered, but not in a rich ami powerful coun try. The wealthy North grew richer in her war with lin- less fortunate S nun, and the I * ii i ted States would be equally favored in ;i loni* eon tesl with a country int' rim- in strength and resources. Kor every dollar hoarded here in h. e of war it is probable that another wwtild he turned loose. Wareausos a demand fur fond and other supplies; new industries spring nj? and the toil ers at home gel more work and better wages. Senator Morgan sees clearly when he says tint if this conflict lasts a year or so it will greatly benefit the South. Necessarily there will lu- several ecnlers nf military and naval opera tions in this section. Thc influx of soldiers, officials and their followers will make business brisk and build np many places. The entire South will be better advertised, and as all sec tional feeling will he wiped out in a light fur a common cause, hundreds of permanent settlers will be attracted hen- who. under ordinary circum stances, would nov er have thought of coming. Strange as it may seem, the sword may suive our linamial problem. When thc government needs more currency in circulation, it is reasona ble to presume that one of its first steps will be the remonetization of silver. When langland was engaged in her long Napoleonic wars she inflated her paper currency and stuck to the doable standard. She did not strike down silver until pease came, and then with her single gold standard she caased more misery and damage than had resulted from her wars. Of course, there is a dark side to any war, even from the standpoint of a rich and powerful nation. lt is glorious for heroes to die figg ing for their country, but they louve behind them loved ones who will weep and refuse to be comforted. Still, honors and pensions follow such calamities, while thc brave fel lows might have starved to death un noticed, if they had remained at home unemployed in a time of stagnant and idle peace. The greatest danger that threatens ninny localities in ibis country now is the possible invasion of yellow jack. Our exceptionally mild winter has not killed the fever genus in the far South, and the Spaniards are quite capable of sending infected clothing and rags to our coast cities. During active warfare it will bc im possible to protect some of our South ern ports by efficient quarantine regu lations. This is the darkest cloud on the horizon, and in many Southern towns thc authorities should lose no time in taking steps to bar out the pestilence which has so long made Cuba its dis tributing center. Yellow jack is more to be dreaded than all the fleets ami armies that Spain can raise! Wc can force Spain to rciinbur.se us for our war expenses, but there is no compensation for thc ravages of the plague! W/l.l.ACK I*. KKF.II. Advantages of Worrying a lilllie.

How l?c Shot. A Texas military company was o ou the range recently, practicing rifle shooting. The Lieutenant command suddenly became exaspei ted at the poor shooting, and scizi a gun from one of the privates, cri sharply : "I'll show you fellows how shoot !" Taking a long aim, and a strong ai and an aim all together, he fired a missed. Cooly turning to the privi who owned thc gun, he said : "That's the way you shoot." He again loaded the weapon a missed. Turning to the second ni in the ranks, he remarked : "That's the way you shoot.' In this way he missed about : 'ov times, illustrating to each soldier personal incapacity, and finally he eidentally hit the target. "And that," he ejaculated, hand the gun back to thc private, "is 1 way I shoot.-" - m * - -- "Are there are an}' more ju men who have a prejudice agai you?" whispered the young lawj "No, boss, de jury am all right, bi wants you to challenge the jedgc. 1 been'victcd twice before under h and maybe lie's 'ginning to ht prejudice 'gainst rao." . ???????? . Mr. John Peterson, of Pa tout vi La., was very agreeably surprised long ago. Por oightecn months he been troubled with dysentery and tried three of the best doctors in ? Orleans, besides half a dozen or n patent medicines, but received \ little relief. Chamberlain's Cc Cholera and Diarrluea Remedy ha\ boen recommended to him he gave trial, and to his great surprise tl doses of that remedy effected a manent cure. Mr. Wm. McNainar well known merchant of the s place, is well acquainted with Mr. terso e., and attests to thc truth ot statement. This remedy is for by Hill Orr DrtyCo. The Whiskey Hurrel. A whiskey barrel <>f thc highest grade costs from $2.50 to $2.75, aud it is the most expensive of all barrels. lt is made of heavy, selected, kiln dried oak, free from the sap-a hand some and substantial package. Such barrels arc mad?; in great e?ioperages in thc West, in the neighborhood of the distilleries, and in proximity, win n possible, t.n tin- forests from which the materials for them are taken. Whiskey barrels nf thc best grade used t<< eost from HA to .*;>. Ma chinery has been brought more aud more into use in making them, with the result that they are now cheaper than ever before. These barrels ar?: likely tu be tilled with whiskey and st<ire?l fur turee years or more before they are shipped. When a barrel bas found its way to this market and into the hands <*f thu lina! distributor and has been emptied, it is bought by a dealer in barrels. There are coopers and dealers in new and second-hand barrels, wh<> buy all the barrels they nffsr, and send out arnJ gather up barrels, which they buy and sell in great numbers. Untight in this manner the whiskey barrel is inspected ami put in order, if it requires any repair, and sold, it may be, to a wholesale dealer in li<]uors, to be used for blended liquors; but it is much more likel" not again to be used as a liquor pack e. but to be sold for a vinegar or cider barrel. In this use it is ti oft likely to get as far away from New York as the point whence it origi nally came, and when it gets back here and has been again emptied it is sold again to thc dealer. In thc course of its use and travels it may come to need repairs, a new stave or two, or new hoops. It is put in order and sold again. When it has ceased to be useful as a vinegar or a cider barrel, gradually wearing nut and becoming cheaper, it is sold as a pickle barrel or for sauer kraut, and finally it is likely to be come a tar barrel, and after that it is brokeu up and destroyed. Not counting the time that it may spend in storage before its first ship ment, thc whiskey barrel is likely to last through the various stages of its existence, from thc time it starts out until the end, two or three years, though much depends upon the care tak?Mi of it; carefully handled, it may last ten years or mere. The whiskey barrel holds forty-live gallons. There's a cheaper whiskey barrel, also made of oak, but of lighter ma terials, that costs from $1.50 to $2, which is used largely by Eastern dis tillers. Great numbers of the heavy barrels are used, larger numbers still of the lighter barrels, which, like the heavy barrels, are made in cooperages io the neighborhood of the distilleries in which they are first used, of ma terials drawn from the forests of the region in which they are situated, or shooks brought from the West. Thc life of the lighter barrel ir* about the same as that of the heavier barrel, and it is put to the same uses. Of the lighter barrels, however, thousands, after the first emptying, arc sold to go to Scotland.-New Vork Sun. An Arab Proverb. Who can affirm that the mule enter ed thc jug? This proverb is fre?juently quoted to shov^ that, though one may consci entiouily believe in a thing which may seem extravagant in itself, it is better not to repeat it from fear of being dis believed. It arises from the following Arabic legend: An Arab, who denied the existence of genii bought a mule and took it home. When performing his evening ablutions he saw the mule enter a jug, and this so scared him that he ran shouting to the neighbors and told them what he had seen; they, thinking him mad, endeavored to ap pease him, but all in vain; he vocif erated more and more, so that the au thorities sent him to thc. madhouse. When the doctor came to see him he repeated the account of what he had seen, whereupon the doctor ordered him to bc detained. He continued, upon each visit of the doctor, to re peat his statement, until his friends succeeded in persuading him that, if he wished to regain his freedom, he would have to recant. This he did, and the doctor set him at liberty, to thc great joy of his family and friends. On making his ablutions as before he again saw the mule, but on this occa sion he contented himself with re marking to the mule; "Oh, yes, I sec you well enough, but who would be lieve me? An?l I. have had enough of thc madhouse."' Needless to say that thc genii, to avenge themselves forhis disbelief in them, had transformed one of themselves into a mule and as such entered the jug. , Thc special wheat investigation of tho department of agriculture shows that thc crop of 1897 amounted to five hundred and thirty million bushels.

A man's fortune, or his worst, is a wife. * A man may provoke his own dog to bite him. A man must plow with such oxen as he hath. A moneyless man goes fast through the market.
