"Men of Massachusetts, you have con quereu everyimng else, now learn to conquer your prejudices." Daniel j Webster said that or words to that ef- j feet, and if he was alive to-dny he could j t>&y Jt to all of us for we are all the slaves of prejudice. I was thinking 1 *bout this while reading the last num- 1 her of The Century. In the December' number General Lew Wallace wrote an ; account of the battle of Khiloh ami I thought it was very fair and considerate, considering that he was a Federal general. 1 believed him to be sincere. And now comes General Grant in the j last number and says that Lew Wallace | did not obey orders and bungled up i things terribly. General Grant starts out by abusing General llalleok, his suMirinr nn#l % *<!*& !?!? "WIVVI, ??'IU u,6? 11,1,1 "l"1**'1 in': short ribs severely. The biggest thing in his long article is (lom-rai Grant, and lie takes up a good deal of space in telling about his horse falling down and hurting his ankle, and about his standing by a treo all night in the rain. Well, that was bad?and we are sorry he had it to do, but it was twenty-three years ago. and w? are all well of it now. He says that the Confederates had over 40,1XJ0 inen the lir.it day, and he had only 25,000 in line ; but he never had any doubt about whippirg the fight. He says further that Lew Wallace came up after the first days fight with 5,000 men, and Hell came next morning with 20,000 more, and this made a total of 50,000 for the second dav. II e SRVfi lio did I not need Bull's force, but was glad to see them and they did all that there was for them to do. Well, now let us look at Win. Preston Johnston's account in the same number. He says that Grant had nn army of 58,000 men in cam}/, nearly 50,000 of whom were effectives. Buell was near at hand with 37,000 more, and Mitchell not far distant with 18,000. I n nil Grant had 105,000 effective men, and opposed to him were less than 40,000 effective Confederates. So,it seems that Grant was to have easily whippod the 40,000 confederates with "his 30.000 federals without any help from Buell. . And on the other side it seems that Grant had 105,000 men pitted against 40,000. Every-body is at liberty 1 sup pose to believe either one or the other; but I reckon most people will do like juries do when the lawyers get them all befuddled?just split the difference and find a verdict. Beauregard and his friend Jordan make up a pretty good story for their side, and Win. Preston Johnston handles them without gloves and makes up a better one for General Albert Sidney Johnston, and so it goes, and nobody knows just how it was exactly, and never will know I reckon. I don't believe any of these writers can tell it just as it'was for they arc all just hu.man and have prejudices and it is impossible for them to sue it from the same standpoint. And wo (heir renders will believe or not believe according to . our prejudices, for wo can't help it. We 1 inherit a love of "our side''just like we inherit our politics or our religion. It isH<rhit in human nature that contributes to our good and makes us happier. ' but like aU.other things it can be indulged iu to extremes, and then it makes us selfish and conceited and uncharitable. I know that the truth of history ought 4o he vindicated if it can be, but I don't ?ee that all this wrangle about the battle of Shiloh is doiiig any good. It is pretty well settled that we got badly ' whipped somehow or somehow else and flirt "5 To" oii'l ?l.~ " J ? ..., ...... uiu pvrnuvtfiuurcs ' are too uncertain to make tip history. They romind mo of an nrticlc I read about lieneral Jackson nt New Orleans. Tho writer said that "Old Hickory" was the . second savior of the world, for if he tiadent command a' Now Orleans and killed old Packenham, old Packcnham would have whipped that light, an?l then gone back to England and taken charge of the English nriuy, for he ragked Wellington and Napoleon and would have whipped him at Waterloo, for Packcnham was a poor General, and then the French would have whipped England and all the rout of mankind, and tho whole world would by this time be under the French Empire and be eating frogs or catching them for a living, Ono thing is certain though, tho rebels did soino good fighting on several occasions, for General Grant savs so mid pcveral other Federal generals have(said ><?. I belicvo they do give us credit for getting up a little stampede at Bull Hun, and now there seems to he a fuss about that, for General Patterson's son had taken offense and comes to tho front to defend his father who is dead. That brings in some more "ifs," for they say if General Patterson had joined McPowoll in time the rebels would not have whipped the fight at Bull Run, and so it goes. There is just about as much jealousy among military commanders as among doctors in a one-horse town, and it is of a worse kind,' for a doctor can die out of it and get rid of it, but a general can't. They will rako him up and slander hi in after he has boon dead and buried for twenty years. I confess tpi prejudices and I can't help feeling a burning indignation when I hear the patriotism, the genius or v. 4 . . I ' . ^ <.?hV w.t? .... .. the generalship of Albert Si?lnoy j Johnston questioned by anybody, especially by those who envied him, I love to love the memory of the mnn and I don't like anybody whe seeks to dis- ! turb my faith. Faith is the comfort of a man. Faith in those we have been | t.niirht to admire?faith in friends, faith ' in religion. I would not try to shake | tin- faith of a Baptist in immersion, not j an Kpiscopalinn iti the apostolical sue- | cession nor a Jew in the Talmud. I??*t i them have their faith and let me have I mine. But I would try to enlighten the beclouded minds ol those who worship tire and the sun ami the sun and all sorts of idols and have no intelligent conception of God and his goodness. The Jew is as much a Christian as the Gentle, for he believes in a Savior?the Savior wild sittefh fit tlio tinnil nf find, and the only difterence is tluit lie docs not believe lie has yet come but that lie will come. Wo should lie thankful every day that religious intolerance has passed away and with it lhe inquisition and the Smithflcld fires and the drowning of witches, and thus mil' children are safe Trom martyrdom for opinion's sake. The intolerant and the rapid prosclyti/r must go. There is but one (!od. and Mohammed is not his prophet, nor anyone else who claims the exclusive right to be. The church militant is just like the army militant. The privates do the fighting, and there is many a private who is a lietter man than his captain or his colonel. General (Jrant says in his Shiloli article, that his men stood Ann, but some of bis colonels were arrant cowards and left tl><> Held I nni glad of one thing, and that is that the people have at last made anew departure and elected a man president who was not a military hero. The country is not silk of heroes, but it is their claims for eiv'c honors and rewards. They are not statesmen, as a general thing, and are out of their element in adminstering the affairs of a great nation. 1 hope that Mr. Cleveland 'will let them rest awhile when he makes up his cabinet. CJrant had a sweet crowd around him'and they stole and plundered everything they could, but I believe that most of them are now dead or disgraced, or both, and the country has almost forgotten they ever lived. But everything looks quite peaceable now on this side Atlantic and the prospect is bright for the next four years to come. We are at peace with the world. There is a little hard feeling about tliis dynamite buisiness, and it ought to be fixed up. Those dynamiters are getting entirely too impudent over here. 1 see they had \ recent meeting in Chicago and made speeches and applauded that London explosion and declared what they could do in Chicago. They have I'oruiedn partnership with the communes i 1 > iiim inn11mim mid wouki overturn our own government if they (lured ami they say they do dan?. \\ lion a man threatens another man's life the law puts him undyrhond lo keep the peace, and those fellows who threaten the peace and securit}* of our people aught to be put un. dor bond or sent to prison, and it ought to be done quick and sharp and let their sympathizers take warning. The English are our brethren and our ancestors and the world owes to England more for morals and the civilization and advanpemunt in the arts and sciences than to ^ny other nation. Our govern ment :;hould not permit these-dynamiters to plot anc^ plan their;infernal schemes oyer here.' The next thing we know they will be trying their hands on our capital for the devil is in them and they don't cafre. They are the turbulent disturbers of the public tranquility. 1 don't want such n.en for my nabors, for if they take oflense they would shoot a man through the wisdom by night and whjle he was surrounded by his family. They.are assassins of the worst type. If the poor Irish can't live under British rule let them come over here. There is plenty of room and let them behave when they do come. I am Irish myself and I love the Irish heart, and am proud of the noble sons of Erin, but there is no method in their present madness and no humanity in their methods. 'll .. . a JJJIjI* A1W, Blaiue for 188S. , The? Washington correspondent of the New York World writes: Tho other day I met Mr. Klkins just as lie was coining out of Mr. Maine's house and walked down town with him. 1 asked him : "Who do you think will l>o the nominee of the licpuhlicnn party four years from now ?" "That is a long time ahead," said he. "There is not iintch use in making any predictions. I believe, however, that Mr. Maine will be nominated again, lie has to-day a greater following in the parly than on3* other one man, lie is the only man tlint can curry the West. He was tho only man that could have earned Ohio j lust ()otobor< I believe that when the convention e? men lo meet four years from now the demand upon,(he part of the Republicans for his nomination will be ho overwhelming as to overshadow all other candidates. I do not think any management \\ill renominate liini, but that he will be renominated in spite oi any management.Mr. Klkins' opinion thus frankly expressed is more determined even than it was last spring. There were times then when he was doubtful whether Mr. Blaine could be nominated or whether it would bo good policy to nominate hun'.i 'i None of Mr. Blaine's friends think that his course since the election can apy lp/4?i|tToyjn^r?hi8t popularity with his followers throughout the country. Senator Allison-, 'of Iowa, who is on* of the most conservative of politicians, says that everything that has ' happened since the election which has " been made the subject of criticism is comparatively trivial and will in*ke no lasting impression.' Mr. Hlaine is lookiii*5 fofward with great interest to the campaigns of New York and Ohio this fall. The local managers from these I States are even now consulting with ? i him. as if they expected help and direc- J t tion from him. An Effort to Secure Iiic Completion of lie Cii'cenville ami IjuuretiH. On Tuesday morrrnx several promi nent citizens of this city li'ft hero fur 1 Savannah to confer with President ( ltaoul, of the Georgia Centra! railroad, ^ regarding nn arrangement for the completion and operation of the Greenville 1 and Laurens by that road. A portion of the deligatiun returned last night, and in answer to questions regarding the result of the expedition, r-fer.cd to the following, printed in il e I .\'cirs urn!

The gap 1 between llendersonville and Asheville 8 j compels travelers from the South to go I round l>y Charlotte and Salisbury over the Western North Carolina lioad to 'Ashirvilie.

Queen Victoria has expressed a desire to contribute from her private . purse a sum suflicient to supplement and make eHetive any reward which the goverment may decide to olfer for the arrest and conviction of the criminals guilty of the recent dynamite outrages. This announcement has been welcomed by the public, and has so stimulated popular feeeling that it is belived the inunediaic result will In- the organization of a nationol fund for the object suggested by the Queen.

KING'S EVIL Was tho name formerly given to Scrofula becauso of a superstition that it could be cured by a king's touch. Tho world Is wiser now, and knows that SCROFULA I ; can only be cured by a thorough puriflcae tion of tho blood. If this is neglected, the disease perpetuates Its taint through generation after generation. Among its earlier symptomatic developments are Eczema, Cutaneous Eruptions, Tumors, Bolls, Carbuncles, Erysipelas, Purulent Ulcers, Nervous and Physical Collapse, ctc. If allowed to continue, Rheumatism, Scrofulous Catarrh, Kidney and Uver Diseases, | Tubercular Consumption, and various other dangerous or fatal maladies, are produced by it. Ayer's Sarsaparil/a la the only porcerful and always reliable blood-purifying medicine. It ihho effectual an alterative that it eradicates from the Rvslem Hereditary Scrofula, ni\d tho kindred poisons of contagious diseases i and mercury. At tho same time it enriches and vltalizqs tho blood, restoring healthful action to the vital organs and rejuvenating the eutiro system. This great Regenerative Medicine Is composed of tho genuine Honduras Sarsaparilla, with 3 elloio Dock, &'tillinn in tho Tn.fl ////?? a#* , v \'i jl v(uoo?i?ni auu I Iron, and other ingredients of great poI tency. carefully and scientifically compounded. Its formula Is generally known to the medical profession, and tho bent physicians constantly prescribe Ayer's Sarsaparilla as an Absolute Cure For all diseases caused by tho vitiation of the blood. It is concentrated to tho highest practicable degree, far beyond any other preparation for which liko effects [ are claimed, and id therefore tho cheapest, as well as the best blood purifying medicine, in tho world.
