BILL ARPS LETTER. "^ill Say^ ^te Receives Letters From Old Men. .-ifftmfa. Constitution. They are not all dead. In faot, they seem to ' multiply es the years roll on -my contemporaries, \l mean. I re ceive more letters from' old men than I ever did, and they write well and gwe long epistles. When a mau gets along in the seventies he feels lone some, notwithstanding the near pres ence of children .\nd grandchildren. The companions of his youth are gone, and so some of these old men unbosom themselves to me for sym pathy. I like such letters and try to answer them all, but rheumatism in my arm and hand cramps my replies. One old gentleman from Alabama says he feels better after he has writ ten, for he is a native Georgian and loves her people and her old red hills and the sweet memories of Emory Coilege and his visits to Athens, where his Uncle Eli zar Newton lived, and how he met me there in the for ties, and John Grant and John Hughes and Jaok Brown and Billy Williams, who maniod my friend's cousin and took charge ol' the blind asylum-and how he heard Dr. Church preach and was obarmed with the music of the ohoir, where Miss Ann Waddell and Bosa Pringle and other pretty^girls - sang, and how a tall, long, high mau, with a big hooked nose and a huge "pomum Adamus" on his throat, sang base, and how he was a roommate of Tom Norwood at Emory and a class mate of Bishop Key and Judge A. R. Longstreet, the author of "Georgia Scenes," was the president; and hdw he removed to Alabama in 1849 and married and has seven daughters and no sons and has ten orphan grandchil dren, and has to work, early and late to support and educate them, but never sees and rarely hears from any friend of his youth and is at times sad and depressed and longs for sympathy. Poor old man, I wish that he lived near me, for I would visit him and ;heer him up, and tell him anecdotes and antidotes, and we would talk over the old times and swap college stories and brag about the good old days when there were no telegraphs or telephones or bicycles, and we did not want any; no sewing machines or store clothes, and we didn't need any; no'football or baseball or hazing or suicides or appendicitis. And in those days came ToombB s and Stephens and Jndge Doutherty and Howell Cobb and,Wal ter Colqnitt and spake to the people faee to face, and such eloquent men as George Pearce and ?Bishop Canara ..and Jessie Mercer and Br. Hoyt and Goulding and Ingles preached to .them. Yes, we would talk about the days of our boyhood', when there-was .no gas or kerosene or frlotion matches -nothing but candles to give US light, and no Prometheus to steal fire from heaven to light them with. -Shake speare khuw how it was, for he wrote: "Hov/-far that little candle throws its beams! So .shines a good deed in a naughty world." > If Shakespeare wrote by Candle light, why shouldn't we? And he, .too, used the Vint and steel to make a spark to light them. 'Tick your flint and keep your powder dry" was General Jackson's order at New Or leans. When I was a young merchant e gun-flinl j wero ns common as .marbles, and I sold theta at the same price-10 cents a dofron. Wonder!al, wonderful .are tho changes, and we old people fall in with them and adapt them to .our use and our comfort. I wouldn't be set back to the good old times if I .oould, but I -would -enjoy seeing 'this generation all setback about seventy years, just for about a week. My Alabama friend and other veterans would be tickled to death to. see the .universal dismay-no railroads or tele graph, no mail but onco a week-and 25 cents for a single letter. No daily newspapers in the State and oniy four weeklies, with no sensations, no sui-; oides or lynchings. There would be no cooking stoves, no coal, no steel pene or envelopes, no cigarettes. No millionaires or free niggers. I re member when cotton, was packed ;o j round bales w?th, a crowbar. The long bag was made first and was sus pended from a hoio in" the gin house ?floor and Unelo Jack got down in it and packed the cotton hard as it was thrown to him. He packed two bales a day and they weighed 400 pounds each. 5?wb of them filled the bed of the bia: wagon and five more wera oros8od on top and fastened down with a long pole. All the little spaces * wer? filled mth ?ors ^a^. fodder, the big cover put on and 'with a four or six-horse team we were oftf or Augusta. . It was e ton days'trip and we boys wero happy to go along and camp out all night and listen to the nigger drivers tell about ghosts and Jack-o' Lantercs and witches and raw head and bloody Woe** u was. great fun. We brought back sugar and molasses in ' great hogsheads. Ii was brown sugar, for white sugar wasn't invent ed, except. a kind called loaf sugar, which was put up io five-pouud zones and covered with blue paper. That kind was for rich folks and was very precious. It 'was crystallized like these little square lumps that are com mon now. When our mother would "??wrf.p thc loaf she would iet us chil dren lick the sweet white tissue paper that was next to the sugar. It was good. MoBt anything was good then. A stick of striped candy was a rare treat. Sc was half au orange, or a bundi of "reosius," as the niggers called them. Most anything was good then, for our appetites had not been surfeited with oakes and sweet meats, as they are now. We loved sassafras root and angelica and sugar berries and locusts and wild cherries and the inside bark of chestnut trees and slippery elm. Wo were always hungry and hunting for something. My Alabama friend is sad, not only because he bae* lost his youthful com panions, but his youthful appetite. Even .ginger cakes have lost their relish and a game of sweepstakes and j town ball and bull-pen their fascina tion. I envy the happy children as they play around me, but I am happy, for I know that there is trouble enough ahead of them, for man that is born of a woman is of a few day* and full of trouble. The best we can do is to do the best we can to fortify against it and take the bad with the good. Try to be ealm and serene, for life is full of blessings and we should sohool our selves to magnify them and bo thank ful. I have not forgotten the poor little boy who slept under the straw, and one cold windy night hie mother laid an old door on the straw to hold it down, and "me said, "Mother, I reckon there are some little boys who haventgot any door to put o Ver them." It is a good way for us to think about those who are worse off than we are, and my Alabama friend knows there are thousands of them. ? ' Bot I must stop, for it is hard to write a cheerful letter thess s?r..:-:?y days. The weather id depressing and that helps my Alabama friend to feel sad. Gobe says that a long wet rain is worse on a man than a long dry drought. We have not seen the blessed sunshine for four long days and the wind has blown down my pretty butter bean arbor flat to the {ground. BILL ARP. Scrofula, Vicers, Cancer( Skin Trou bles. *T L???

BROCK MAN, Bagnell, Mo. This remedy is for sale by Orr-Gray & Co. Impulse of Soldiers. The Sultan's,deoreo of exile against ihe officers of the army that broke the windows of the palace they were in in trying to get out at the timo of the re coot earthquake in Turkey, brings up the interesting question of how far suoh acts of fear should -bo punished. Jn faot, our Paris contemporary, La France Militaire, mentions au offioer of high rank who has maintained that such displays of alleged cowardice are no more to be reprehended than lying. This officer, who is himself a model of military scrupulosity, admits that the man of war ought, of course, to res pect his word and never fail in honor, but there are occasions, he points out, where it is not only praiseworthy not to tell the truth, but where it.M* ac tually indispensable to conceal it, if only to deceive the enemy to givo con fidence to one's own troops. Napoleon never had any scruples against proclaiming himself victorious even when he had been half beaten. He did not fail in his bulletins to swell his effectives, to give inexact figures of his looses and of the losses of the enemy. He never hesitated to present matters in the light that would be thc most favorable to the deceiving of the-world. lu tho matter of bravery he had himself giv en many examples of signal courage, and while valuing highly this soldier ly attribute ho did not placo it in thc front rauL of military virtues. Il? knew that bravery suffered eclipses; that the nerves have a part in the at titude one shows under fire, and that there are moments when the most in trepid feel "their old carcass shake," as one old warrior used tc So this French officer takes up thc oudgels for the Turkish officers, sad inveighs against condemning pitiless ly those who yield to a passing seizure of spirit attributable to some physio logic crisis. He cites an inoident a the military oamp at Chalons, when an offioer was instantly killed by i stroke of lightning, and another office witnessing it was so overcome by th> awfulness of the event that he fle< and bid under a bed. Not even thc intervention of brother officers wa sufficient to make him oome out fros his retreat. The colonel was so moved by this display of fear that he had th man dismissed. While freely admitting the suscep tibility of men to sudden impulses, i a'sense beyond their control, still, se vere discipline, bringing with it th fear of punishment, can create in thei habits of body and mind in time com to be second nature and instincts in certain sense new. The danger c yielding to these momentary feeling lies in the results that may flow froi a panic and the force of example. On man by losing his grip before the et erny may endanger a whole ci my. ] was probably with this feeling th Sultan found his officers' state c mind in the faoe of an earthquake r< prehensible. Still, there are facto < seeming oowardioe that are really th manifestations of the most commem able prudenoe. One can oonoeive o no better time for a person to seek 1 leave a building than during an eartl quake, and unless tbe act of the Tui kiuh officers compromised the safe! of others it is hard to see the justit nf the Sultan's order of exile. It mi be that this punishment will in tl and be injurious to the Turkis army, for there, is always a olean; marked line between oowardioe at prudence. One needs but to read the aoeounl >f the foolhardiness of British officei who, in South Africa, thought tl tiighest duty of the soldier was rash! bo disdain coyer and make himself i unexpected mark for the enomy'o bc lets. One of the excellent results tho Boer war has been to dignify tl stylo, of fighting that Washington tri? in vain to beat into the thick head Braddock before he fell at the hau >f the Indians.

Bishop Turner, of the Afriosn Methodist church, declares that he is as firmly convinced as ever that Africa is the place for all negroes. He says: "I am as much oonvinoed as ever that African emigration would be best for the negro and best ?or the white man. Such a condition of things as we have in this oountry is found no where ciao upon the faoe of the globe. There is an irresistible conflict between white and blaok that nothing but separation eau reconcile and put an end to. . "Our children are generated and nurtured under a malignant and mis anthropic excitement that will wreck this country and make our civilization " hiss aud a bywosu. Aud if it is a fact that the negro has gone crazy about white ladies aud will not let them alone, then white men owe it to their manhood aud honor to get rid of him; and if they will open up a highway to Africa millions of the black race will go. Rather than shed so much blood, and possibly some innocent blood, you had better enact laws to brand these fools and scoun drels, and crop their cars and banish them to Africa. They use to brand the cheek and crop the cars in South Carolina, and I believe it had a re freshing influence, for several of the best Christian and most godly men in South Carolina, when I was a boy, were men whose cheeks were branded and one car out off. If the country will turn over all these oriminals that they are burning, hanging and shoot ing to me and brand their cheeks and and oarry them to Africa I will give the world another Home, or establish a country like Australia, which was founded and built up by English cut throats and penal convicts. 41 Why I donrt go? I started to wait for a hundred thousand of my people to go with rae, but when I could not get them I invited fifty thousand to go with me, and failing to get that number I am now offer ing to go to Africa if I can get twen ty-five thousand to go with me. I am dying to go to Africa, but I want somebody to go with me. If twenty five thousand blaok men and women will leave this country and go to Af rica for the purpose of building up a civilized oountry for the future negro, or coming men and women of our race, you will find me in the front. "The presence of the blaok man here, the way things are going on, is both a curse to the white race and to the colored race. Our children are growing up with a malignity lu them that makes me shudder us I thiuk of the future. "I am glad I am too old to live to see what will be the result.

Two Queer Inventions. Persons'who have been addicted to the habit of blowing ont the gas will be interested to learn that a shrewd inventor has secured a patent on an arrangement by which gas can be blown out without the least danger to the Reuben who does the stunt. De vices of this kind might be used to advantage in Charleston during, the Exposition, as exposition visitors, as a rule, break the record in the matter of extinguishing the lights when re tiring. "That Boheme ought tp pay well down this way," said ajiardware. man yeeterday, who got a circular tell ing him that the gas wouldn't tonoh him if he blew it, "and if it works as tne manufacturer claims I will surely be armed for the Reubens when they come to town. This inventive turn of tho shrewd Yankee is something marvellous. I was reading to-day about a man in Massachusetts who has invented an appliance to keep roosters from ?rowing in the early morning and it is said to work like a oharm. It is called the Brookton 'anti-orower.' The devioe is fasten ed to the bill of the rooster at night by a simple clasp, which does not in terfere in anyway with respiration. When the chanticleer rises before dawn, throws baok his head and at tempts to wake himself and every body else by uttering a clarion note, the devioe restrains his ambitions, and not until his owner sees fit to re move the clasp will his vocal organs give utterance to his feelings. The inventor hopes to raise a race of non crowing fowl by means of this device. -Netos and Courier. - A young musioian of Evansville, Indiana, who boasted like tho Chicago professor that he had never been kiss ed was -waylaid by six pretty young ladies and kissed roundly, for which he has sworn out a warrant against them.

A Heroic Rescue. This story of an actual occurrence suffer^ because it is not told by the big. round face Woodward ave. resi dent, who punctuates the wholo nar ration with guggliogs and ohokings that threaten apoplexy.

"-Detroit Free Press. - Papers recently discovered in Spain show that Columbus, as Admiral of the fleet of caravels that discovered America, reoeived payment of $320 a year, while tho captains of his three ships were paid $10, $18 and $19 a month, while the wages of the sailors were from $2 to $3.40 per month, with rations and two suits of clothes a year. There were eighty-two men in all under pay. ?i-^--? Thc term is almost a misnomer, now-a days. For the "century-living: crow" hos been schooled by experience. The scare crow dosn't scare him. Investigating orni thologists say that he can tell a gun from a stick and can count up to seven. Evidently the crow has progressed from the ignorance of his ancestry. The crow ?9 in some things in advance of the human family, There are scare crows which scared our grandfathers, and which are just as fearsome to us. In spite of thc fact that some scientific in ve.'ttl gators say, "There's nothing to be afraid of. A scarecrow can't hurt you," the bulk of men and women still be lieve the scare* crow is a power ful and destroy ing fetiBh. This attitude ia most marked in relation to certain forms of disease. In diseases of the lungs and respiratory organs, for instance, it is the custom to assume that there is so cow for the cough, no help for the hemorrhage, no healing- for the lungs. The scarecrow, Con. sumption, is set up, often taking the form of some inexperienced and unskillful prac titioner who deniea hope or help to the victim of disease. Yet the records go to show that stubborn coughs have been cured, that persistent hemorrhages have been stopped, and that weak lungs have been made strong by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. ? TESTIMONY TAMMS? AU the claims in the world for the cura tive virtues of a medicine will not equal one testimony to the actual fact of cure. Thousands of testimonials like the follow ing have been received from persons cared of lung- "troubles,"bronchitis, hemorrhage, obstinate coughs, etc., by "Golden Medical Discovery : " ?I was vt ry ?lek indeed." writes Mrs. Mollie Jacobs,* of Felton, Kent Co.. Delaware, "and our family doctor said I had consumption. X thought I must die soon, for I felt so awfully had. Had a bad cough, ?pit blood, waa very .hort of breath ; in fact, could hardly get my breath at all sometimes. X bad pains tn my chest and tight lung, also had dyspepsia. Before I took your 'Golden Medical Diacov. cry' and 'Pleasant ' Pellets* I was so weak I could not sweep a roora, and now I can do a small washing. I worked in the can ning fue t orv this fall, and I feel like a new person. I thank the good Lord, and also Dr. Pierce for making this good medicine. I believe that the r.orri and your med icine have saved ray life. I was sick over two years. I took thirteen bottles of the ' Golden Med ical Discovery ' and four vials of Doctor Pierce's Pellets." There is no al cohol in "Golden Medical Discov ery" and it is en tirely free from opium, cocaine, and all other nar cotics.
