W. 1'rIce in a special to The State : This has been a great day for Win ,chester and . the Suenandoali valley, adid a significant ocasliou in these days of our reunited R)publio. Today a monument was unveiled in Stonewall cemetery to the minmory of the de I from South Carolina wlo fell in toe ilge ts in and around Winchester. The Sbdnewall cemetery here is divided into State lots or sections, and .he dead from the respective States are interred together. In many of theso . lots or sections the States have erected monument..1 Te unveiling of the South Carolina- inonument was the oc caslon of the great m::morihal outpour ing today. The oceasion was uarked by many unusual :MA unI ' fLatures. In the first place the escort to the morumont was furnished by the Tur net Ashby and othor camps of Confed crate veterans together with the loctl campof ex-Union boldiers. J list adj ai n Ing the Confederate cemetery is a cemetery in which lie buried the Lx Union soldiers who were killed in the battles around Wirheter. In"si than a year ago, right here in Winchester, N.w York icn, ex-Union soldiers all, unveiled a I.numnt in memory of the men of the One Hlan drol' and F'arteenth New York regi ment .who were killed in ard around this plaej The Confedemat - ca ny of Winchester and the citizens here h -art ily greeted the New York men and assisted in their ceremonies. Capt,. Underhill, of Hamilton, N. Y., in his splendid address then said : " In these two cemeteries sleep side by side the heroes of many States, but, they are now all of one country. Let no one, in any spirit of enmity, ever undertake to say in which cemetery sleep those who have wrought b-st, or most wisely or with more distinguished valor. Just in proportion as we cease to argue the right of the mattcei-, in that proportion shall we be filled with admiration over the conduct of ou dead heroes, North and South." In the presenca) of 10,000 people, the cord was pulled, unveiling the hand some shaft, by Miss Marguerite Tren holm of -outh Carolina. Prior to the unveiling an address was delivered by Col. Franklin Mackey, conmander of the Confederate V-terans' association of Washington. The exercisvs it tibe ceetery were opened with prayer by the R av. S. K. Cox, of Winchester. Col. John J. Williams made the ad dress of welcome and introduced Capt. John G. Capers, who inade a speech on "The Sons of Veter ans," Mr. Capers, one of the United States attorneys in the department of juste at Washington, and thie son of that gallant ex-Confederate soidier, Gen. Ellison Capers, of South Carolina, w-ho now a soldier of the crots, is the Nypseo pal bishop of that Stae, referred to the ex-Union soldier's remarks of last year, and speaking for the South and for the sons of ex-Confederate vutoArans answered the N .w York soldier's ckqu ent wordsas follows. 1L-: said : " Eay in April of last year Gui. Wade llamptoi, speaking in UCarles ton, and, as i( answcving nti.- noble sentiment, though with no knowledge of or reference to it, said 'My old comrades we know what war is. I do not hesitate to say that I regret the one upon which we are en tering now. But you are Suuth )aro linians ; you are sons of the men who have obed immortal g Lwo y on the l'al motto ilag in the past., ancd I would rather die than think that South Care lina wouild not resp~ond to the call made upon her- for volunteers. T1his is our country for all timen to comie.'" The orator then, evidently referraing to his noble and distinguished fathx .r, Blishop Capers, continued and said: " And still another answer :A gal lant ex-Confeder-ate soldier, who is now a soldier of the cr-oss, whose body bear-sthemar-ksof thinresevere wounds, a man dearer to me than ali men on this earth, and who, thank God, still lives to delight and inspir-o his de voted children, recently wr-oto me these words ""vhen Horace Umrcely signed Jeffr son Davis' bond, when Grant, i-efused to lir-c a salute of j liation at, the sur render, told Gen.

Rep~ublic to battle, he qu~i~ ehed the last spar-k of hi tterness and ma de I is country once more a U nion of brethren under the Stars and1( S:,rpt s.'" "00e wvord morec in this con nection," said Mr. Caper-s. " La c me repeat, to you in brief the last, public speech of that sorely misrepresent d and misu n derstood mariityr-, J1a.fLroon Davis. In his last addre-ss, made at, Mississippi City in 1888, he said: '''Men ila who~so hands the debtiniies of our Southiane lie, for the love of her I break my silence to sp~eaki to you1 ai few words of r-espcctfulI adimon itioui. The past is de d-let it bury its deadi, its hopes and its aspiriat~ons ; before you lies the future-a future full of golden promise, a futu'-e expiand in national progr-ess, before which all the woria shall stand iamatzed. I, t, me be seoch you to lay all ranicor a"-ido, till bitter sectional feeling -and itake your places in the ranks of the, a who will bring about a consummatIon dec voutly to be desired--a reunited coun try.' ''In ircsponte then," said the ore~tor, " to these cxpressions of loyalty to out reunited J.tepublic, coming as5 they do from mon who cndlur-ed the awful siege of wat for conscience sake, we can li agree t)> " ld the w-~ a baners Smielflie gunsi, Ihove rules. 11er gentler p'urposes run Our iiation, ai mighty imotheri, turinis in tears Th'~le p'ages of her- banttie year3, I ,amnen ti ing all hi or fall nci s'ons." Mr. Cup -irs' oiration took about -15 minut-a In d-livor-y and was i-ce dved with retat a~)mraniation undi annau. I', aboun. d in tributes to the nob e Soithern women and their unfailing counst,-ney and hopeful love during the war. Mr. Capers spoke with great o ogience and effect upon the subj tot of how the inner life, the attributes, the character of the Southern people had been maintained " in spite of the agonies of war, the awful struggles of post bellum pvverty and the crushing -disappoiDtMients of defeat." He drew a clissical and interesting parall I from ancient and modern history to show that " never in the history of the world had there been a war botween people of the same country, where, after thp whr was over, the conquerors paid e:o prompt and so sincere tribute to the valor,. tihe exinplo and the character of the conquered as was the ese after the surrender. Never have at cot qu ered p -ople stood so erect and so completely maintained their man hood as (lid the Confederates after April, 18i5. O1 'what uge in history will you find. saild the orator, a record similar to'that which was made in war and has continued In peace for a do f.ated peo)ple. In Whitt age Or coun try, as says Gen. Gordon, in speaking of the as-ociation of the United Con federate veterans, have tne shattered remnants of defeated armies, banded together in it brotherhood so unlq ue, a purpose so unseillsh? Among wnat d&feated )2ople has ever been wit nuesse:'1 such lidelity to the inmories of an u-ueessful past ; such devotion to the survivors of an unsuccessful army, COUple2d with tuch unostentations, genuine and responsive loyalty to tie Lovernment from which they so reso lutely and conscientiously sought sopa ration ? " I challenge the worb.,'s an nals to furnish a parallel." The people of the South preserved their characters, said the speaker, in the opinion of President And-ews, formerly of 3.-own university, Ithode island. himself an ex-Union soldier, because thcs3 people were like their matchless leader, lobert E L e. 0. him this ex Union soldier says : " He was never outgeneral'ed by Gr-ant in all the campaigns from the I ltppah anock to the James river, never trapped and never caught nap ping. L fail to [ind In the books any suca masterful generalship as thi* hero showed, holding that slim gray line, half -starved, with no prospect of additions, and fighting when his army was too hungry to stan d an I his ril were only used as clubs. Ills courage and that of his soldiers was sublime. L.e was as great as Gustavus Adolp hus, or Napoleon, or Wellington, or Von Moltke. He successively de fcated, out-generaled . and routed the best generals Washington authorities could erd against him, and it was not until th immortal- Grant, with the finest army of veterans the world has ever SLen, took the licid against him that L 's mlarivelous-accomIplish menits received a check. Even against Grant, l'ee fought as irobablyno other gen eral ever fought. and againzt odds that would have drivdn . N-apoleon to de spaimIr." 0! the linal struggle this schol'r anl ex-Union sodier says I t was a great death struggle when Grant, faced Lee, and Lee then knew that his wa-i a hopeless sti-uggle. Bat ue kept that thin gray line of ragged, nuogiry ue n, g rowing thinner and hun nier cah day, together. ils courage, his wonderful presence and strong par .,onality kept that little band of tat, tiqrud and emaciated men in battle ar ray, and they fought to the last (iteh and surrecdered only when L-e real iz d that it would be murder to keep up the struggle." In peaking of the part taKen in the SILnish-A merican war by the South, Mir. Capers said : "The promlnentcharat-ers in Amer ican hxistory have all had special mis slt. Washington to found and free the country ; Lincoln to preserve its untitedl character; Calhoun to form~ulate hie doctr ne-s of the ol South :L -e, Gordon aind Hampiijton to ein body tic eiviry of the Southern char-acter: G'rady to be the eloquent young~ mes senger of penc - fr-ow the new. bouth, and ilagley, llue and ilobson to de monsti-ate that the courage and char acter or the ex-Confederate soldier-s had been, thbank G.od, trainsmfitted to their sons." An lnterest ng recital in detail then followed, showing the servIce Southern men had rendered thbe counitry in the recent wvar. Mr. Capers closed his address with an elaborate review of the results of thie civil war upon our national li f-. n an addrness, said he3, to his old regi ment in Southu Cairolina it few years ago, that gallan', and hattie-searred veteran, Judge Alex. C. 11 skell, Ioolked into the present and also into thme letuoro, and old sold icr thoughi he was, exp'ressedl what, I believe to be the h)opio of the younger generation in the malutte r Of the iresul ts o)f the war u pon ouri national life. In that address Ju dge Llasketll said: ' Thus by fighting to the end wvo did two l~in gs--we cowmmand~ed the re spc of ourO enemy and wecre asked to coimi back inhto the Un ion, and we un intentionally hut absolutely forced thbe end( of slavery.

Til' OLD QUION 'REVIVED. 1111 Arp Takes a German Preacher to Task alli Invites lil to Come Soi th. Professor Ilaaskarl, Dr. Ilaaskarl, lv. Mr. HaakAr;, of the Lutheran church of Chaumbersburg, 'a., Is said to be a learned man-a scientist, an authority on ethnology, but like all 0Grman philosophers his investiga tions lack breadth. Gerzman education is generally limited to a certain line of study and thotught and every other line is ignored or side tracked. The parent chooses his son's calling or pro fession in the boy's early youth and his education is str ictly on that line. If It is music hie pursucs that cu.ling diligently and devotes from twelve to fifteen hours a day to it. I knew a young German who studied nothing but bugs and another who mado a sp3c!alty of snakes. iBefore the civil war we had an accomplished civil en gincor in ifile who thought that cot Lonl ;rC or. cottn wood trees and had to be picked by climbing ladders. le ditlent, have the ksiowlodge of a teni year-old .boy about anything except engineering and he dident care for anything else. Oe (3 rman doctor will study tuberculosis and the germ theory and notbing else, while anotier will devote his life to the eye or ear. These one-linoners are of great benelit to scienceu and to mankind, for they probe to tle bottom and never- give up, but their very earnestness In one direction prevents their acquiring very broad views of life as it is. Now, Dr. lUaaskarl has suddenly dis covered that the negro is the mi'ssing link-the link that Darwin sought for, but never found-the link that com pletes the chain that begins with tile monkey, then the babbion, then the ourangotang, then the gorilla, then the negro and last the white man. Therefore he says that tile negro has no soul to save and it is folly to preach Christianity to him. I reckon that the i':arned doctor is a young man or not passe.' middle age, or he would have known that this theory of his Is no low thing-no discovery, for somie thirty years ago ia s. entist in Ten nessee asserted the same thing and wrot2 a book on it and called it "Ariul." The press s tys that this theory of the learned doctor has been boldly and publiely announced and hias created great excitement and indigua Lion among the Northern negroes l'he missing link has raised a howl around the doctor and he had better not circulate too loosely among them. if they ate not bumtin beings then, of course, they are beasts and must, be looked after by the society for the pre veution of cruelty to a nimal. Tn is will very miuch enlarge the business of that society and we may look for a Nort.hern wing of it to com, dowi here to stop this iynching business. But if the n.-gro is a beast and has no solul to b: saved his premature denth would seem to be of less cous(quence. So let thle I 'tnaylvania row L( on. I am ;,ad that we are not in )I. B.at I would like to get our darkey, loh Smith, after that German. hb is t smirt negro tnd has a big mouth full of p, arly teeth that he shows on all OCC ns,011 for he Lives fun and is III .vays ready for a j ke. His bo-s took great delight in tensing Bob and one day said to him, "13 Ab, what are you ihgers goi n to meetiEg so nMuch for? You will los.,u yourl ctp running up1) to 1h0 C0:3 roaids every (ay to that nig-:r meeting. DaU't you know thtat A ltrger hasent got any soul, so what rood is going to ieetnig to do 3011 Y'" A nd Iob said, " Look here, boss you say dat a nigger biasent got no soul ?" "' Why, of course, not, I've got it here pinted In a hook." ' Well. now look here, boss. has a white marn got a soul ?" W Why, of course, lhe s," said te bou . " The Bilble tells you that.' " Well, now, boss, clli me dis: if a v'.hite man got a soul andl a nigger aint g!ot noe soul how aba t a mulatter ?"' lioh was telling all this to me and when I asked what, the boss said about the mulatto, lie laughed and said, "lie was powerful sot back, I tell you. ie seratched his head and says, 'Well, lie'uowed als how a mulatter had :iout ha'f a soul,'' and Bob laughed mmensely. I was rumninating about this and I wouldl like to hear the learn (d dtlor'( explain it. Wlil he say that I'r as himelass and Hooker Waish ingtn havenmt got souls 'or will he0 say3 that halfI a soui became i ncorporated inmto eachl b y tunatlgamation ? W here will lhe draw the color line ? [las an In dian gct, a soul ? [Hw ab)out aqud noon or' an octoroon or a Id to I ? o WV ab)out thae coppecr-colored trIbes and the giniger cakes that I/vingstons found in Africa and whlom h1e declared to lbe alnost the eqtuals of thbe whlito race in moral perceptions and in kindness and courage? T1heni there are' the (lark skinned Moors anid C2astilIlians. Whlat i:, a negro anyhbow ''Whlen I was in Tam pa I visited a large cigar factory anmd saw 400 Cohans In one long r'ooml all seatedl it, thbeir little desks rolling tie leaf tobacco Into smoking shapes. They were of all hues in comnplexisn from nearly white to nearly black, for theIr ancestors had beeni crossd and iixed In blood so often and so long they had no racial color. How much of a soul did each ono have ? And hlere are the Cli namieni, who have not, mlixedl and are all of a color, hut are not white. Ilave they got souls? yAnd there are the Japanese, ar d last of all the .1 wu, who are darker skinn.:d1 tihan the Antglo-Saxon. If Adam and l' e were Jews then have we the pure whites got souls ? for it is said thbtt Adam was a red man. Where will the professor driaw~ the coor' line ? Livingston says that there is just as muh if :ence between a Congo and a D ah omty negro in color and race trIai ts as ther noIs between an A mer'ican Indian and a white man aiid, that tile il ferett tribes vary in cuistoms' and( laws and siuputit ion as5 mutch as do the diIf arent, Lribes oif our Indians. If a b 1lack negro has no coul, has a red Indian gt one ? I f the civilized Cher'oke't or Crk has a soul hmoy about the savamge C imanehee ? Dr.I llakarl .''ys that the negro Iwent into the ark as a beast, and Is a beast yet.. Soi are, I reckon. My friend Max vel, oif Arlington, nr-ove thit Sam IlIso was, and there are others of different-.olors who are worse than any boasts we know of and whom ( we hope have no souls to be tormented ivt the tires of hell and therefore should be burned In this world. Solomon says that the Spirit of man goeth up- C ward and the spirit of a beast goeth i downward into .he carth. t Bat this theory of tibe doctor will not bear a serious thought. It he had w confined it to physical structure of the t( imported Africanr, whom New Eng- It land rum paid for and brought over C there, it might have some force, but k he can't investigate the soul or where r it. caie f: om or whither it is going. VI That is a mystery past our kon. Tnero is an aged woman here whom every body knows as old Mamnia leyward . who Is old onongh to have come from J A frica and looks as much like a bab boon as p, ssible, but if there is a true Christianu in Cartersvillo we all believe I she is one. Though ninety years of ago, she takes a back seat in the white w folks church every Sabhath and re- f j(iets in the service. She has faith- 0 ul3ly served foui- genetrations and is ft serving yet. If she has no soul now perhaps it is possible for the Creatnr ti to give her ono when she dies so that a she may enter that rest that remaineth it for the pcople of God. And we know -L many negroes who give as much evi- c done of 'avii.g souls as do the Cori-h tians who are white, bet most of thit n. black generation are headed for the chaingang. That same merry-hearted c B )b was sent to the chalngang for c killing another negro which he dident mein to do, for it.was a willing light, n and ! e says now that " 1) sr is some as mean niggers In do chaingang as dar o is outen dar." And there is the faithful Tip who was born ours and who Ivos ur all yet. The slave who grew up with our older children and cared for them and they car-ed for him-the trusted frienld who watched me long and tende-ly while I w-, s down with fever in the V trginia artmy. What about Tip having no souly I3ut Tip is a gingoreake ; hu is not at black man. Tip and his parents atre of that peculiar color that Livingston ranks so high among the native tribes Thoe Guinea negro Is more like the missing link and they wore the bcat setvants in the wold except their de sire to pick up little things that -ouldent be missed. An original Guinea neg-ro whose blood has not been retossed is as docile as a shepherd dog. Now this startling deliverance of )r. Llaaska-l shows that he knows nothing Ieactical.y about the negro and Is im. bued with the prevailing Nt-thern prejudice against him. He should A come down here and attend one of their shouting meetings an1 s ac the women carried out in a swoon. li 11.b AnHi'.

One of the most gifted of European artists has passed away in the death of Rosa Bonheur, the celebrated painter of animals. In the opinion of that ox traordir ary critic and man of letters, John 1tuskin, she stands at the head of nineteenth ccntury artists. Born in the wine lands of Bordeaux in Franco in 1821, she had reached the ripe age of sovonty-eight years at the time of her deatn. Her father was an artist of ability and her mother taught music. The four children were all artists: Yulletto. a painter of sheep, August a painter of cows, Isadoro a scuiptor and Rosa a painter of animals in general. Mine. Bonheur died when Rosa was only seven year of age ; an]i M. lionheur, unable to endure the scenes of his former happiness, gather cd up his childron aud went to Paris. On account of extreme poverty the family lived for many years in poverty quarters on back streets. However, the children displayed great aptitude and inspired bright hopes. When Rtosa was only eight years of ago she mado sketches wnlch surpassed her father's best work. When she was 20 she painted pictures that wore accepted at the annual exhibitions and won un stinted praise from judges of the highest acumen. in the ten years which followed she painted a score of canvases, every one of which was pro nounced to be the very perfection of its genre. Soon the more appearance of a Bonheur canvas at any exhibition became an event in itself. Her most celebrated work, " The Horse Fair," has bnon copied in every conceivable form and is familiar in all parts of the civilizd world. About the personality of this remarkable woman there clustered much interest. She was never married, and the stories of ro mance that are told in this connection are without number. Mile. lionheur's house was only a mile from the palace, and to her study locked the courtlers of the empire. The Empress li'Agenie was especially Interested in the paint er, and laid a plot to marry her to the young patriciat , the Duc do Graminont Caderousse, at that time the greatest " parti" in Prance. It )ba was invited to all the court festivities and attended them until she percOlved the design of her imperial patron, Then she lied to her study and refused to be lured out of it or distracted by the gay people who went thither to pay her tribute, and watch her deft hand create immor tal beau'y on b.re ta-ivas. A this timke, when every monarch in lutrope was giving lice the most envied decora tiois, thii remarkable woman w it wearing a costume of her own in en tion -" bloomers " fastened about the ankles, and a bodice consisting of an ordinary workingman's blouse. In this dr'css site once went to the Impt rial boxes at, tihe opera, and of cotrse eclipsed the performanco upon the stage. Te emperor himself ono day visited the artist inI disguise. A., he enteI'ed thle toom " 1A it eurtt' " t-urtled around and retiarked, "llere, you, lend mne a hand with thir fralme. My beast, of a porter has gone." N ammo leott rendered tihe deni hed assistance. * id you come to see the porter ?" asked midemoiselle of the amutietid monarch.

G(overior t MSweiiey lias No Politi lI D)I' to PaY OR Itevenuiges to Take. To the I '!olfle of South Carolina I n the providence of Almighty God, his excellency, William i. liIlerbe, late govornor of South Carolina, has passed to his rewvard. I regret the sad event which tmakes it necessary for me tO assumeI1 thme duties of governor of S..uthm Carolina. T1'oo constitution, however, is mnandlatory. I have taken the oath of ualleu and assume formal control of the executive departmtent Lo-day. I have thought it proper to address a*'5i word to the people of the I real izc fully the responsibility of the posItion. I shaill endeavor to be fith lfuli and conscientious in the dis cha~rge of the duties which shall be in ra. Inr the wisdom which devised our system of govei'rnent three distinct departmcnts were made--the legisla tive, thme executive, the judicial--to make the laws, to execute the laws, to initerpriiet the laws. Under our own coinstittutioni they are to " be forever sepamrate and distinct from each oth or," andl( n0 l)pron exercising the du ties of the one shall assume to dis charge the d , ,es of the other. It is .i wibe provisilon. My duty mainly is to see that the laws as placed on the itatute books by the legislative depart ment are enforced. T1his I shall at temp lt to do faithfully and impartially, arad without fear or favor, following oa ly whero duty p)oints, in doing so, however, I ask and shall ox poet the hearty co-o[peration of every ollecr In South Carolina, whether he holds a State o1110e, a county oflice, or an ollhce under a rmunicipality. Not only so, but I ask the hearty sup)port i.nd encouragement of every citizen of South Carolina in the enforcement of law and in the promotion and advance ment and progress of our own com monwealth. I realiz'3 the impotency of any oflicer, however faithful he may ou., -hmo do-s not have this support. We a s on the eve of a great indus trial advL'nce-in mantifacture, educa tion, commerce, and agriculture-and I stand ready to contribute my part as citizan and oflicer to this forward move ment of my people. I have no p)oliticabl p~unishmnents to iL iljicifand no political rewards to pay. It, shall be my am and stead fast purpose to g ive tho Pe(o p)1e of the State a strictly btusiness aid ministration, and to bo the governor of all the peopl)1. To this end I seek their symp~athy, their counsel, and th~eir prayers, praying myself that peace and happiness andi prosperity may come to every home in South Carolina. Yours respectful Ily, G;overnor of South Carolina. D)a von kniiow Alligator Einriiment' If yon d'o niot knro w irs sterlinrg worthi.
