Recollection o’t a Great Battle—
Pirat Impresaion of ConfeAerate
Reader.
Richmond Times.
I distinctly recall the famous place
auu the memorable conditions suty
roundint; the great soldier when I,saw
him the first time. 1 was then a tairiy-
observanl youth, in my twentieth year,
a period at which we are apt'to receive
and retain vivid impressions of any
noted event or famous personage,
personally seen and known. As one
grows old there is a commendable ten
dency to indulge Ihe reminiscent mood.
As a matter of blended fact and
sentiment, most of us like to look
back and lovingly dvyell on the pleasant
aud the notable thin ^ of the past in
which we were actors. At time* 1 am
given to such moods of lender and
pathetic, sober aud serious, reflections.
Then, over the kindly stretch of nearly
iwosscoie years i would call up in
proudest memory the fadeless portrai
ture of that manly, heroic figure, so
-firmly and gratefully seated on his
noble, trusty aiocd. in xq*.dliiig my
first vie. v aud impression, 1 lake it to

Out of Egypt Abram brought vastly
increased wealth. Each time he en
camped, quite a town of black tents
qpickly arose ’round the spot where
his fixed spear gave the signal for halt
ing. Along with him there journeyed
his nephew, apparently of almost equal
wealth. He was not dependent on
Abram, nor even hie partner; “Lot
also had flocks, and herds, and tents.”
So rapidly was their substance in
creasing that they found that tbe land
was not able to furnish them with
pasture. As the inevitable result, tbe
rirsl shepherds, eager to secure the
best for their own cattle, came to high
words, and probably to blows.
Thus early did wealth produce quar
reling among relatives. The men who
had shared fortunes when }K>or, no 1
sooner became rich than they have to
part.
Abram prevented a quarrel by sepa
ration. “ Let us/’- be says, “come to
an understanding, and rather than be
separate in heart, be separate in habi
tation.” It is alwayi a sorrowful time
in the family when it comes U> this,
and it is painful to confess that legal
forms ate more binding than a broth
er’s kin 1 new,
As yet the character of Lot has not
been exhibited ; we awail with eager-
new hi* reply to Abram. We know
(aud he doea, too) that Abram ha*
been the making of his nephew, and
that all the land belong* to a bran* an 1
we should expect that in common de
cency J/Ot would set wide the generous
offer of bis ancle and leave him to de
termine the whole mailer. He might

The Public Cannot b* Satisfied
With the Weather aa It Cornea
The AllanU Constitution says that
.weather kicking Is a confirmed habit
with the public. No matter what tbe
bill offare may be in the weather line
somebody always has a kick coming
Rain or shine, hot or coM, it is impos
sible to please them all.
One might think that perheps half
the public, at least, could be accommo
dated with satisfactory weather, but
here again is a fallacy. The holder of
such a theory, similar to Lincoln’s that
“you can fool all the people some of
the time, and some of the people all of
the time, but you can’t fool all the
people all of the time,” baa failed to
take into consideration that curious
characteristic of human nature, that it
never a^reciates what it actually has.
As Becky Sharp says, “we never get
what we want, or want what we' get.”
This is truer of the weather than of
any other thing—being also a aad com
mentary on tbe native discontent of
man and his utter lack of philosophy
in accepting with notice neither pro
nor con the absolute inevitable-—of
which the weather la a typical illustra
tion.
The weather has bean from time im
memorial regarded aa an appropriate
topic of casual conversation. Only in
recent yean has there come a beU-ro-
dox hint against this lime-worn insti
tution. Until the present revolution
ary and iconoclastic tames no one would
have ventured the Irreverent sugges
tion that the condition of the elements
is raa ly not aa inspiring topic for cou-
venattonal inlereouraa. It ia one of
those stolid, irreparable, unarguable
subjects that do not sUmnhUe acinUL
lating secretions of gray matter. Tbe

retiring deliberately, and in goou order,

When I saw General I^che looked
firm and resolute, perfectly self poiml,
confident, digi ified. He evidently felt
that his .TJ,000 veterans could hold tLe
field and carry it over the 80,000 men
composing the Federal host. *
I saw our great Lee at his best, with
the light of hatile in his eye, heroism
in every feature. It was during the
most critical and trying pait *of that
most desperate day, when the deadly,
•bloody tide of dubious conflict was
fiercely, turbulcutly ebbing and flow
ing; when the red vintage of human
gore flowed iu corn-fields and apple
orchards; in open hollows and on
wooded slopes; often blusbin^ the pure
waters of the modest stream* and stain
ing the shapely leaves of the shelter
ing forest. Uu this terrible, this eu-
sanguined field, at midday, the struggle
fpr supremacy was most eventful and
uncertain. It couhl not be told where
the bird of victory would folds its
weary and triumphant wings. It was
here “the red badge of'courage”
■ flaunted its crimson hues ovei all the
fait face of peaceful nature. It was
here that knightly deeds far outshone
the mythical splendor of that vaunted
time “ when knighthood was in flow
er.” It was here ttut • “ captains
comogeous ” only emulated the superb
courage of their men, each snd all
bravely doing amid so many heroes
dead and dying. And it was here and
then the heroic manhood of Robert E.
Lee was tried and tested, and found
equal to the emergency of holding his
battle lines of offence and defence
against the powerful enemy.

that the word comes from the German

t«rm was indeed ased by the 8wi*a,

and Protestants alike. At the last
meeting of the Paris Academic des

from a manuscript -in the library at
Tours, dating from the end of the
fourteenth century, that “ Huguenot”

Abram. We are safe to say that Lot

days. The men bora ai d reared in
Sodom were poeaibly happy after their
kind and in their fashion. Lot was
not. His soul was daily “vexed.”
Many a time must he have gone out
with a sore and heavy heart, looking
ut the distant hills, which hid the tents
of Abram, longed for an hour of the
company he had once enjoyed and
selfishly abandoned.

ignorance ; you in virtue of your own
foolish and sordid choice. Your life is

gift from Mr*. Eddy, which ia valued
a l $40,000.
“Mrs. Eddy intends to convey an
luipraasioii that aha gave $40,000 worth
of real e*tatc. In non* of her many
published references to this peculiar
transaction has Mrs. Eddy told tha
truth.
“The land upon which ilia church
stands was originally mortgaged for
$9,000 to Nathan Matthews, Sr. The
original society, by cootribulions, fairs,
etc., raised enough money to reduce
the amount of the mortgage to about
$5,000. Mrs. Edd^, through her agents,
took an as*igpffient of mortgage for
the b&lancb t>f $5,000, foreclosed it,
crowded out all of the original con-
tribntore to the Church of Christ, Sci
entist, acquired tbe title and gave tt to
the trustee* for the First Church of
Christ, reserving a right of entry and
to repossess herself of the land, with
any church that might be constructed
upon tt. This cost Mrs. Eddy $5,000.”
Peabody stated that while Mrs. Ed
dy is credited by her followers with
great generosity she has reserved In all
her gifts the right to repossess herself
of ail the land she fans given away, to
gether with the buildings on tt, and
that she has a similar string attached
to^he Christian Science publications
she has transferred to the organization.
Regaiding the fact that Mrs. Eddy
teaches there is such a thing as mali
cious animal magnetism, Peabody
quoted liberally from hei writings, and
then said: “ Her personal teaching to
her stadenU was even more extrava

“ I affirm and charge that this Mary
Baker G. Eddy, the alleged founder of

sought to exercise this power, mali
