The books show that we are getting too rich. Put down the price of steel rails and put up the price of labor. We are but trustees for our fellowmen and a million a year is enough for us.” If Mr. Carnegie had said that t<>n years ago, he wouldn’t be so perplexed now about giving away his money. He says it is a sin for a man to die rich, and fa life is uncertain and death is surd, be seems to be in a hurry about getting rid of his millions. The five millions he has settled upon his aged and indigent laborers is a benefaction that everybody commends. The twenty*five millions that he has given to the cities for public libraries is not •specially commended by anybody ex cept those who receivsiu It is about on a par with Rockefeller’s twenty- five millions tc the great universities. Neither gift reaches the masses of the people nor alleviates ths condition of the poor. Geoige Peabody’s and Peter Cooper’s charities were much more sensible and effectual. George Mullers’ Ufa work, who without a dollar of capital to begin with, established or phanages in l/oodoo until be had over a,000 to charge when be died, and from year to year maintained and edu cated litem, was a much grander charily than giving mil ions to coltegee and lioreriee.

Nevertheless, Mr. Carnegie Is scettCT- I lag kk mooey. He is sowing wheat | among the tare*. He is giving largely lo ths w ml thy cities wbo can provide lhair own llbrane*. He is scattering bis money; 1 mean the surplus, that has grown to hs a burden. Us has just finuhad a million dollar mansion in New York and has another in Scot land, and a few millions in reserve for contingencies. We hope that filese small bolding* will not interfere with his in ten lion to die poor. No, there is uo peculiar grace in the gifts of Car negie or Rockefeller. They are a sur prise, that’* all, for not one in a hun dred of the millionaires do such things. Most of them hold on and pilu it op for their children to quarrel over. The Standard Oil Company has just de clared a dividend of twenty million for Rockefeller. He crushed out and ab sorbed all competing mills and still sells oil to the consumers at 15 cents per gallon. Cheap isn’t it ? Bui he could sell it at 10 cents and make n hundred per cent. It is the. common people, the masses, the toilers anil the poor who buy the oil, and exery gallon takes a nickel from them that-ought not to bo taken. God made (he oil, and man gave the labor. Mr, Rocke feller bud but little to do withdt. Most of his millions really belong lo God and the laborers. It is no sufficient answer Ibat be has endowed a college. The children of the laborers are not in it. It’s tooiar away and too high up. These colossal fortunes are becom ing alarming. They endanger good, government, for it is ktill a fact “ that ncho and virtue are rarely foatrd com bined/’ Laws grind the poor and rich men make the laws. A graduated in come tax would limit these great for tunes, hut alas, we will never get it. It ia too late. The j»pportuoily has passed, for rich, men make the laws. Millionaires control the United States Senate and will resist any tax that limiu or lessens their estates. But It is wrong for us to envy the rich. In the economy of lif# and (he pursuit of happiness It seems nea to have nch mao. Thay build ^shipi. ■ills, and a furnish os with food and clothing and add to the comfort of mankind. The world would make slow progress without them, but when they begin to unload their vast profits mankind will criticize the manner of it. Generally they un load it on their children, who never earned a dollar of it. Some of them would carry it all to heaven with them if they could. Many of them give a part of it to some church or charity aa a kind of passport to heaven. An old friend of mine who was pretty hard up borrowed $5 from me one morning to pay one of these darn little just debts, as he called them. He said bis creditor was annoying him, but before he left my office a committee from the coun try called and asked us to help to build a country church. I gaye them a dol lar, but my friend subscribed $5 and handed over the bill that I had loaned him. After they had left I asked him why he gave so much end he said: “ Well, I always give that much to help build a church. I do not belong lo any, for I have not yet felt good enough to join, but I have lived in five counties and practiced my profession in fourteen and I have helped In build country, churches in all of them. It may be that death will catch me un awares before I do joia ihe choich and St. Piter wilt refuse me admission into the heavenly gate. But I will have one credential, for I can say ; ‘St. Peter, 1 know 1 have no; been a good man sod am not fit to mingle with lb* | miou, out 1 have got a little stock ia I every country church fiom K*bun's 1 Gap to Tallapoosa and maybe he will let me in—maybe so.

In spite of the brave words of Lord Erskiue the law took no cognizance of the suffering of animals tmtil 1822, when a statute was enacted in England “ To prevent the cruel and improper treatment of cattle.” Af'.erward other acts were obtained improving upon this, and in 1824 the first “ Society for the Prevention of*Crueltyto Animals” was organized in London. This grew in grace until even Rank and Fashioti, those twin gooddeases that can make or mar anything, smiled upon it, the Roytl family gave it patronage sod by command of the Queen it look the name of the “ Royal Society.” Then, in the year 1062, the United States sent to St. Petersburg, as secre tary of legation, a man by tbe name of Henry Bergh, who in Rnssia received an education that was awakened to a duty not contemplated in his official instructions for there he saw and was enabled to interfere in cases of great cruelty because of his diplomatic posi tion,-.without which be would have been exposed to personal violence. On bis way home, three years later, he made the acquaintance of the Earl of Harrowly, President of the Royal Society, wto gave him valuable tutor- mail on concerning the work of the society, pruned with which he landed in bin own country and uniNfimtaly set about creating inU rent In a similar movement ia N*w York.

At Gettysburg ike loss by divisions was as follows : Pickett, 1,157 ; McLaws, 1,538 ; Hood, 1,504 ; Early, 806 ; Johnson, 1,269 ; Rodes, 1,728 ; Anderson, 1*128 ; Heth, 1,905 ; Pender, 1,312, and tbe cavalry 140,, In the captured or missing the losses by divisions were : Pickett, 1,499 ; McLaws* 327 ; Hood, 442 ; Early, 226; Rodes, 103 ; Anderson, 840 ; Hellr, 534 ; Pender, 116, nnd the cavalry 64. Froth the above it will be seen that Hood, Rodes, McLaws, Heth and Pen der each had more men killed than Pickett. Early, Anderson and Johnson each lost fewer men killed. In wounded, McLaws, Hood, John son, Rodes, Heth and Pender each lost more than Pickett. Early and Anderson lost fewer men. Pickett lost in captured 1,499, Dearly three limes as many aa Heth, whose men went as far in the charge and stayed as long as Pickett’s did. Pickett’s division was composed of 15 regiments and hit loea in killed averaged a little more than 15 men to the regiment. This certain!) wa« not much of a slaughter or sacrifice. Georgia lost in killed at Gettysburg 421, while Viiginialost388. Tbiadoes not include the cavalry ami artillery. North Carolina loat in killed 6*6 or 198 more than Virginia. This destruction wrought by the ar tillery at (rettysburg has been described ns appalling, but the loss ia killed of the Confederate artillery was only 78. While the loss was so small ths moral effects were somewhat like at the can al Vaimy, when the mending TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE Ap'. utl »i The British Conditions of Peace Offered the Boers—Why They Were Rejected. Mr, Chat. D. Pierce, consul gen eral of the Orange Fiee State and treasurer Boer relief fund, writes aa follows in an appeal to Americans; The offer of peace proposals by tbe British and thoir rejection by tbe Boers, opens up a new period in the struggle in South Africa. lu agniu appealing to tbe American people, therefore, to make their voice heard and exercise their undoubted and ac knowledged influence in the affairs of the English-speaking world, it is con sidered desirable to lay before them tbe intents and purposes of the peace propositions which ‘the Boer leaders saw fit to reject, in order that they may judge impartially SffU give their verdict on the side of right and justice. To this end it will be necessary to con sider the propositions in detail as they were put forward by Lord Kitchener, commanding tbe British army, and Sir Alfred Milner, British high commis sioner, in South Africa. In the Hist place it is to be noticed that the overture* for peace came from the British through tne intermediary of the wife of the Boer eoinmaodaai* general, Louis Botha; thi* is a signi ficant fact. It is also to be noted that Gen. Botha always spoke in lbs nam - ohhig government, while the British colonial secretary, Mi.

PICKETT DID NOT DO IT ALL- The First Public Appeal for Jus ties and Mercy to Animals. lo the early part of the century just past, in the yearJ8U, in tbe English House of lioras, a *ceue was enacted that, *o far as known, was without a parallel in any legislative assembly. For in that small chamber, in the very home of conventionality, surrounded by men whose names were synonym* for exclusiveness and conservatism, Ix)rd Kiskine made the first public ap peal for justice and mercy for tbe lower animals. The “ uoble lord,” for such he was, stood up in his place and presented the case of these creatures on whom the passions of the callous or cruel had been veoted without restnint from the beginniug of time, and the other noble lords broke forth in deris ion at the absurdity. “ It is said that loud jeers, vulgar ejaculations, inle- corous demeanor, and even whistling and cock-crowing were practically the only reply given to the grand speech of this high-souled man.” There was no one who took part in the astonishing scene in the House of Lords who could have “imagined that he was assisting at an era in the his tory of civilization, aud thvt from it would date thefoception of one of the most importaut and far-reaching of all movements, the movement known as H«mane,” which has for its object the elimination of cruelty from the world and the inculcation of kindness to all living creatures. Yet here have always been humane hearts, and imag {nations sufficiently alive to comprehend suffering even the persons of beings below tbo human level. - -About a hundred and forty years before this time Sir Samuel Pepys put into his diary one of hi* little sketch** that probably give* u* the situation as clearly a* anything. Being out for pleasure with some friends, he aays “ I carried them to'Kensington, to the Grotto, and there we sang to my great content, only vexed ia going in to a eon of Sir Heneage Finch's beating of a poor UUla dog to death, letting lie in so much pain that mad* me m by the servants of to ves it, till by am the house. chid.Lgi OB* Of with a wring, Statement of Intereot About the Fighting at Owttyabwrg * KUi’.ot* Atlanta Journal ^ | 1 have boon math interval**! in lb* •tone* of the war between lb* Mate* I written by men who served in the ' ranks snd lately appearing in your columns. I served in the iofsotty from First Manases* lo Appomattox. At First Manama* I wga a private tn th* Seventh South Carolina Volunteer* aud especially detailed as orderly for General M. L. Bonham, who held IfitclieU’* Ford or the center of our me. In 1862 I wa* transferred from Kershaw’s brigade and the Seveuth bouth Carolina Volunteers to the First South Carolina Rifles of Gregg’*’ (af terwards McGowan *) brigade, which was uudir Jackson until his death, aud then under A. P. Hill until the surrender. Thi* statement will intro duce me to the Georgia survivor* of idle Army of Northern Virginia. One of your correspoudents from Wright’s brigade, apeakiug of Pickett’s charge at Gettysburg, says : “ It cer tainly was a most hazardous affair. They suffered heavily, and yet I have never been convinced tbe battle of the second day previous should stand in nstory as tbe bloodiest fought battle of tbe two.” Another correspondent, a survivor of Semmes’ brigade, says : “The sub- ficriflce of Pickett’* gallant division was simply murder.” I believe in giving honor to whom honor is due. I’ickett’s loss has been greatly exaggerated', and for nearly 38 years the fancy story of this “ sacri fice ” has been written up in glowing words until many persons believe that Pickett did all Um fighting at Gettys burg, aud that Georgia, North Car olina and the other States were “ not jn it.” Let us see what the figures prove as to Pickett's command at Gettysburg before tbe battle and after it. From July ), 1862, to June 30,1863, 13 battle* were fought by parts or the whole of tbe Army, of Northern Vir ginia. In these, Pickett’s division, consisting of Garnett’s, Armistead's and Kemper’s brigades, lost in killed and wounded 772 men, while the brig, ades of Archer, Lao* and Scales lost in killed and wounded 8,610 men.

He will eleep on the cold ground, where the wintry wind* >low and the sno<v drive* fiercely, if only he may be near hffe master’* side. He will kik* the hand that ha* no food to offer ; he will lick tbe wound* and sores that come io encounter with the roughuess of the world. He guard* the sleep of hi* pauper master as if he wore a prince. When all other friends desert he remain*. When riches take wings and reputation fall* to pieces he i* as constant in his love a* the sun in its journey* through the Heaveu*. If fortune drives the master forth an out cast in the world, friendless and home less, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him, to guard against danger, to fight: against his enemies. And when the last scene of all comes, and death takes the- master in its embrace, and his body is'laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all the other frieuds pur sue their way, there by the graveside will the noble dog be found, his hpad between his paws, hit eyes sad, but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even in death.” The jury gave a verdict for $500, al though the plamtiff had asked, for $250 only. Yhe uncertainty of what a jury will do or will nbt do was forcibly illustrat ed in the circuit cqprt in Iowa last week in the trial of a couple of whiskey cases.

It would have been dastardly and dishonorable beyond expression. It would also have well served the purpose of the British government whose motto every where is to “ divide in order to rule,” b) creating a gulf of mistrust and enmity between the Colonial Dutch aud republicati|burghers for all time. In refusing to accept the British conditions, the republican leaders have shown great political sagacity, and the same wisdom that marked their conduct during the negotiations preceding the war. While they have to do with men who have shown them selves so unscrupulous in all their dealings as have Mr. Joseph Chamber- lain and Sir Alfred Milner, tbe safest manner of negotiating is at the mnzzle* of their trusty rifle*.
