The Confederate Dead,
Under thia caption, iu tho Phoenix, of
yesterday, we alluded to the Bpirit of bit?
terness and animosity sought to be in?
fused into the hearts of those eugaged in
decorating the graves of tho nation's
dead, at Chicago, by tho Inter-Ocean? a
paper published in Chioogo. We gave
an extraot from its columnB, in which it
poured out tho vials of its wrath on those
who could so far forget the feelings en?
gendered by the war, as to place a sprig
of evergreen on the grave of a dead Con?
federate soldier. Bat there uro t'iose
who live within tho preoinets of the Inter
Ocean who dare rise far above its teach?
ings; who believo that the war is over;
who fought the soldier wbile he lived,
but who honor him in his grave; those
who took Bide? in the war, aud maintain?
ed their views by marching to the front,
rifle in hand, and fighting for the pre?
servation of the Uaion; but who, now
that the "cruel war is over," cry out with
their leader, '.'Let us have peace." TUe
author of tho extraot from the Inter
Ocean, whom'we cannot believe ever
faced a Confederate soldier in the field,
must cover himself with the mantle of
shame, when, in the faoe of his teach?
ings, the Irish-Americans of Chicago?
men who did their fighting in the field?
do honor to the Confederate dead. We
make the following extraot from the re
ipoxt of the proceedings of the Irish-Ame?
ricans of Ohio ago, on decoration day:
When the grave of a soldier was ap
iproaohed, the column halted, the name
of the oooupank was road by Colonel
??tewart, and the companies presented
arms. Occasionally, -where one was
needed, a'bouqadi was deposited. A
little mound, vfhich wap pointed out as
the resting place of a Confederate cap?
tain?a piieoaer who cited at Camp
Douglas, was decorated with nothing bat
fresh, green girass. 'i'ho spectators
thought it would be passed in sileuoe,
but when abreast of it, tho command,
"Haiti" was heard. The usual salutation
ol respect having been given, several sol?
diers stepped from the ranks, drew from
the muzzles of' thole'muskets the bou?
quets intended for a domrade's grave,
and generously .panted them iu the sod
which covered the. rehiaius of the Con?
federate. The ln,ciu>3iit touched ell who
witnessed it, and .proved the noble gene?
rosity of the Celtic.lioattB that prompted
the deed.
-j 11?W
Wiuti wRihing the Mexican*.
Gen. Rosecrans, who has been rail?
roading in Mexico for a number of years,
makes 'the astonishing statement, that
the Mexicans are *'brave, generous, do?
cile and thrifty?much mote easily led
than driven, and more susceptible to and
appreciative'of kindness than any peo?
ple iu the world." If this is so, there
must have been ah extraordinary change
in the national ohara#tnr witbiu a few
months. It is generally any-posed that
energy and thrift in a people make their
impress upon a country. The greatness
of the United States is plainly attributa?
ble to Hume of the fiuaht.ies which Gen.
Rosecrans ascribes- to the Mexicans.
Now, it is notorious that Mexioo, which
has a maguifioent soil and climate, and
every valuable endowment that nature
can bestow, is an unpro&peroas country,
behind the age, and relapsing into bar?
barism. If tho people were thrifty, this
could never be. With respect to their
docility and jjenero?ity, we will make no
criticism; but if bravery consists in at?
tacking an inferior number, and running
away whenever it is larger or equal, then
the "greasers" are brave beyond mea?
sure. 20,000 of them surrounded Gen.
Taylor's 4,000 Americans at Bnona
Vista, and scattered like sheep at the
distribution of Capt. Bragg's grape. A
brave people would not have murdered,
in cold blood, a man whom they hud in?
vited among thum, as the Mexicans mur?
dered Maximilian. We suspect Gen.
Rosecrans has some axes on tho Mexicun
grindstono, and is finding it profitable to
tickle tho national vanity with .flattering
phrases.

It is said that tho Missouri editors, at
their late oonvention, formally resolved
that a man has tho same right to walk
into a grocery store and order a barrel
of sugar or a sook of coffee, or into a law
office and demand a legal opinion from
its occupant, or into an undertaker's,
and request a coffin, without expecting
to pay for their respective wares or ser?
vices, as into a newspaper office and de?
mand tho use of its brains and musclo
and type, without a thought of recom?
pense. We oannot believe that our Mis?
souri brothers have done this thing.
Why, if a fellow pays fifteen cents a
week for a daily paper, doesn't he there?
by become its editor and proprietor?
B?ke Pop.?The cake sent by Rbody
Hampton to a young lady of Charleston
some weeks ago, has beeu analyzed by
Dr. Otto A. Moses, and found to con?
tain poison. There is evidence that
Rbody parohajed "Sure Pop" from a
druggist a few days befpro the cake was
sent.
The new Ftenoh Govorameut deve?
lops, more and more, its military charac?
ter. It does not'dual in instructions,
but in bulletins. It allows no interfer?
ence with its privileges; or, rather, it al?
lows no one save itself to have any privi
1 )ges at all. It takes at once its Btand,
and its stand lends more to repression
than to constitutional freedom. Hence,
Rooholort is to be immediately trans?
ported to New Caledonia, which means,
by the way?if all reports bo true ?a
sWift road to bis death. And now Gus?
tave Courbet is to be prosecuted for the
recovery of the sum expended by the
Government in the reconstruction of the
Yendome column. Perhaps Courbet is
the proper man for expiation; bat the
fact that ho is to be prosecnted reveals
dearly enough that the Commune has no
friend in President MucMahou. The
fact is, the MaoMauon Government is ?
how much soever it may be vailed?the
government of the sword. You have no
right to expect a French commander,
raised to tbo Presidency, to forgot the
habits of ball a century. No; he oarries
his sword with him, and places it side by
side with bis pen; and the one dictate*
what the other writes.
Startling Confession of Crime.?
Last September, Mr. A. W. Drake, a
farmer, living noer Meamqnek, Illinois,
died ander circumstances indicating foal
play. Hie mother-in-law, Mrr. York,
was keeping honse for bim at the time.
A few.days since, Mrs. York was taken
ill at the residence in Kansas whither
she bad gone after the death of Mr.
Drake. A physician was called in, who
immediately discovered poieion, and be
told bor Abe -could survive bat a few
hours. ' Fearing death, she made a most
startling coul?*aion?coufosaiug to have
?poisoned her husband in 1805, Mrs. A.
Drake, her own daughter, two children
of Mr. Drake, her grand-children, the
wife of E. R. Drake, formerly of this
pity, and, last September, Mr. A. W.
Drake. She went to her son, and, in a
short time, made a mixture of poison to
administer to bim on the first opportu?
nity. Feeling unwell a day or two after,
ahe went after some medicine to the oup
bosrd, and by mistake took the fatal
dose procured for her son, which resulted
in ber own death. Thus passed from
life by ber bends a husband, two daugh?
ters, a son-in-law, two grand-children
and herself, while she attempted to poi?
son her own son, who had offered her a
homo for tbe remainder of her life.
United States Court?Charleston,
Juno 16.?In' the District Court, it was
ordered, in the o?se of Kerrison & Lend?
ing vs. A. T. Stewart & Co., that Mrs.
Msry B. Kerrison have one - twelfth of the
property Sold as dower.
' Mv. G. D. Bryan, assignee of B. H.
Reid, was ordered to pay over the net
proceeds of the sale of mortgaged pre?
mises in his possession to G. W. Dingle,
receiver.
In tbo Circuit Court, it was ordered,
that Samuel Lord, Jr., special referee in
the oase of the United States against
John Fraser & Co., pay to Goo. A. Tren
bolm $17,651.28, in satisfaction of tax
dien; also, that the referee transfer to the
registry of the abort the "A" bonds sa
t:aQed.
The same referee, in the case of Branch
& Sou vs. Reuben Tomlinson, against
the City Council of Charleston, was al?
lowed until next rale-day in November
to report the value of the property of the
South Carolina Railroad Company and
Northeastern Railroad Company subject
to taxation.
Fraudulently. Packed Cotton.?Tbo
Committee on Credits of the Now Or?
leans Cotton Exchange have published
the details o! an investigation by them
into a cage of fraud in cotton packing,
but content themselves with naming the
guilty parties, without prosecuting them.
The Picayune says: "The exchange
publishes the uames of all per sons con?
nected with tho transuciiou, and intend
to send circulars tbrougbont the country,
exposing the parties. This policy will
be pursued hereafter in every caso that
occurs. Tho parties who aro gailty of
the fraud* will be published to tho world.
A large amount of this fraudulently
packed cotton has boen received here,
causing groat trouble and expon.se to oar
merchants, and bringing our market into
bad repute when shipped abroad." Ad?
vices from tho country represent tho
crops as very grnssy. The continuous
rains have prevented farm work, auel,
unless fair weathor prevails soon, great
damago will bo dono.
Horrible Accident.?A koroseno ox
plosiou occurred in tho village of Thom?
son last Saturday, resulting in tho death
uf two little girls. One of tho girls, a
child of about six years of age, danghter
of Mr. David Fountain, of this city, had
charge of an infant child of Mr. Win.
Baker, of Thomson, whose wife is also
a daughter of Mr. Fountain. Tho little
girl was at the time on a visit to her sis
tur. The two ohildreu were in a room in
Mr. Baker's house, and tbo oldest, in
trying to make a fire iu tho fire place,
picked up the kerosune oil can and com?
menced pouring oil upon tho wood to
mako it barn faster. In an instant, the
flame leaohed np to the can, causing a
torribio explosion, which set both tbe
j children on fire. Boforo assistance could
I arrive, both tho little iouocouts wore
horribly burned. The youngest died
about an hour afterwards and the other
on Sunday morning.

Her Spring Hat?How the Ayebaoe
Woman Constructs heb Head-Gbab.?
A woman who is considering the matter
of hor spring hat is an interesting sub?
ject for contemplation. First she bays a
straw frame that looks as if it had been
struck by a hurrioane and then eat down
on by an entire coroner's jary. After
that, when she rides in a street car, she
drinks iu tho details of every spring hat
that outers, and learns them all by heart, 1
i aud does mental sums over the cost of 1
I tho ribbon, cud makes np her mind to 1
have flowers iu her's like those worn by
the womau iu the corner, and lace liko
that gauly-lockicg creaturo in the mid?
dle. And when she walks down tho
.-treet aud studies all the hats that come
along, and when n woman passes her
with one on, she twists her ueck around
to see how it looks behind, and is dis?
gusted to see that the woman is also dis
looating her neck, to see how she triam
her hat. When she arrives in front of a
millinery store, t>he lingers until she has
analyzed all tbe spring hats in the win?
dow, and she determines to trim hers
nineteen different ways, and decides not
to have flowers like the woman who Bat
in the corner. Then she shoots iuto the
store and askB to "see hats." with tbe air
of a person who has a whole female semi?
nary to rig out with eighty-dollar head?
gear. She examines every hat iu the
establishment, overhauls ton basheW of
flowers, gets about twenty dollars' worth
of work out of the saleswoman, and then
says she will "look further." Then she
goes homo with hor miud fixed on thirty
eight or nine different styles iu which
shu wants to trim her hat. After awhile,
sho begins to think Bhe ought to have a
feather in it, and she passes two or three
sleeplesB nights trying to decide whether
to put one on cr net. At last, sho re?
solves she will. Then she lies awake for
two more nights cudeuvoriug to deter?
mine whether it shall be red or blue.
She fixes on blue. She buys the trim?
ming and sews it on in seventy succes?
sive positions, her mind filled with the
deepest ? anxiety as to whether the fea?
ther should go on the right side, the left
side, or on top. She pats it on tbe right
side, but jnat then Mrs. Browu passes
the front window with a feather on th^,
left side of her's, and so she ohanges it.
The next morning, Mrs. Ferguson calls,
and beb feather ia on the right side, and
then another change is made. At
church, the next day, Mrs. Smith has
feathers on both sides, and Mrs. Johnson
has ope on top. Then more sleepless
nights and more painful uncertainty.
At last, iu utter despair, she takes the
hat to a milliner and pays ten dollars to
have it trimmed. When it come? home,
she pronounces it "hateful," and picks
it all to pieces, and broods over it, and
worries aud frets, and loses her appetite,
and feels lifo to be a burden for a week
or two longer, until suddenly she hits
just the right thing, and becomes once
more serene aud happy, and puts the
hut on aud goes out to make millions of
other women miserable, because their
hats are not trimmed exactly like hers.
As a wife, woman is a blessing; as a
mother, sho is an inestimable boon; as
an organizer of spring hats, she is sim?
ply un object of compassion.
\A?'.ix Adder.
Scene in a Smoking Cab.?The fol?
lowing amusing incident ocenrred re?
cently in tbe smoking car of a C. C. and
J. C. Railroad train, between Shelby
and Cleveland. Says the Cleveland
Times:
A woman with a poodle dog ontered
the car just prior to the departure of the
train from the former point, and after
depositing her dog on tbe seat, turned
over tho back of another one, so that
each seat faced the other. Together, she
nnd her canine companion thus monopo?
lized two entire seats. Appearances
seemed to indicate that tbe car was one
exclusively for tbe convenience of those
addicted to tho use of the "weed;" but
of this fact the was soon apprised by
tbe conductor, who advised her to ob?
tain a seat in another car, informing her
at the same time that the accommoda?
tions in the way of scats in tue other
conches were superior to those where Bbc
was theu. However, she insisted on re
maiuing, urging that her presence would
deter the occupants of the cur from
smoking, and she would consequently
experience no discomfort from tobacoo
fumes. Ltong before tho train reached
this city, however, a gentleman sitting
directly in front of her produced his
case, and, taking therefrom a cigar, be?
gan pulling away at it in a manner which
seemed peculiarly calculated to aggra?
vate the womau back of him. Iu an ii -
staut strategic movement, bhe wrodted
tbe obnoxious cigar from his mouth aud
threw it out of tho window, exclaiming,
"If there is anything I do bate, it is to?
bacco smoke." Tho passengers who had
witnessed the affair'were convulsed with
laughter, but tho offending smoker sop
prcssod whatever omotions may have
been struggling for expression in words
or action, and maintained throughout
tho same imperturbablo gravity which
had characterized him from the first.
Calmly rising from his seat, be opened
tho window nearest him, fastening it np,
and roaching over the seat-back, took
that woman's poodle dog nnd threw it
out of the window as far beyond as pos?
sible, at tho same time saying, "If there
is anything I do hate, it's a poodle dog!"

taken so gallant a part. Ho stood, per?
haps, nest to Washington in ihe aileo
tious of our people, and was received
with a degree of uffection of which we
can now hardly couceive. A brilliant
company of our most distinguished men
accompanied him on his trip from New
York to Albany, which occupied about a
week. Mr. Weed and one other editor
represented the press of tho country, and
this article is a vivid description of all
that occurred.

Life Association of America.?We
call special attention to the advertise?
ment of tho above company, which ap?
pears in another column. The friends
of tho company claim that it offers to
the insuring public the following special
advantages:
It is the only Southern or Western
company that has been admitted to do
business in Massachusetts. This is an
endorsement of the highest authority in
insurance circles.
It is the ooly oompany that is required
by its charter to invest and keep invested
iu a State all the reserves of policies held
therein. The incorporation of this fea?
ture iu tho charter prevents n chauge in
this respect, which might be the case if
the oompany agread to do so by a simple
resolution of a Board of Directors. If
the present board would make no change,
a chauge iu the board might at any time
cflhet a change in policy; and -conse?
quently a withdrawal of investments
from any given Sta'.... The company,
therefore, gives to each Stato in which
it trausacts its business, tho advantage
of a "home" company, and its widely
extended basinoss gives to its members
all the advantages of a national organiza*
tioc. The company lends its funds to
private individuals at moderate rates ol
interest, and secured by mortgage of real
estate worth at least two or threo times
the amount loaned. It iu this way ex?
tends its benefits to the largest possible
number, and avoids losses that might re?
sult from purchase of real estate. To
the extent onr citizens patronize this ex?
cellent company, will they be reoipro
cully benefited by a return of capital for
permanent investment in our midst,
and thus holp to robuild our waste places
aud develop our resources.
It is tho only company that in its
charter secures to the policy-holders in
each State direot representation in tho
management of its offairs. Each Presi?
dent of a department is ex officio a mem?
ber of tho general Board of Directors of
tho company. This is well calculated to
prevent the formation of a "ring" to
control tho affairs of the company, which
is too often the case with largo moneyed
corporations.
It guarantees in its charter, in oaso of
lapse of a policy, a more liberal surrcn
| dor-value than is allowed by any compa
j ny with which we are acquainted.
Last, but not least, it is the most suc?
cessful oompany ever organized. It is
uotr just five years old, nnd has accumu?
lated about ?5,000,000. * I
'public library of Kentucky.?The
drawing of this enterprise dompienoes on
July 8, and we are informed that tickets
can be proonred here, of Mr. D. Oam
briii, np to the 30th June?bat not after
that date. f
A good reputation sticks to a man like
a true friend, and serves him when as?
sailed by foes and difficulties. So it is
with a good medicine. Look back upon
tho past; the memory of the powders,
decoctions, pills, gargles, troches, wnich
yon have swallowed and the fraud prac?
ticed upon yon. You will then appre?
ciate the worth of Hoinitsh's Rose Cor?

A Reinforcement Demanded.?When
the system begins to.wilt under the ef?
fects "of the first "heated term," it is ob?
vious that it ought to bo reinforced and
sustained by wholesome stimulation. To
resort to tbe adulterated liquors of com
merce in snoh a crisis, as too many do,
is the height of infatuated folly. All
sach fiery stimulants have a sting. After
the first effect has passed away, that
sting in felt. The re-action is terrible.
The prostration of body and mind which
ensues is more complete than before.
But the operation of a medical tonic
liko Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, in
which extracts of the rarest remedial
herbs and roots are blended with the
spirituous essence of rye, pure and un?
dented, is very different. No unpleasant
rc-action follows its use. It is a perma?
nent, a perpetual invigorant, and there
is no pho9e of debility, indigestion, bi?
liousness, nervousness or intermittent
fever which it will not speedily cure.
