ill HERO ! BY THOMAS '"It j - P. MONTFORT f$g(il K'fiW OOPYRiaHT, IW1, BY THOMAS I'. MONTFORT ?^v,V:T CHAPTER XXII. HIM RETURNS, i Pap Sampson, older by fo\ir years, a trifle grayor perhaps, but as active and ulert BS ever, sat oil a fence at the Bide of the road leading into Beckett's Mill from the south, lib' attitude was such as to denote that he was absorbed In earnest thought, which he was. He was recalling scenes and events of past days and was so lost to the present as to bo totally oblivious of everything about him. So unconscious of his sur roundings was be that be was not even aware of the approach of two men. dusty and travel stained, who wearily plodded their way along the hard, white road. Pap's thoughts were of sim Banks and of the events attending Sim's do "Why, howdy, Pap Sttmpsonf" parture from Beckett's Mill. Though four years had passed since that time. Sim had never returned, and the people of Possum Ridge were no wiser as to his whereabouts than they had been the day lie left. A large reward had been offered for his arrest, and the offi cials, Stimulated by the hope of earn log the money, had made strenuous ef forts to locate him. Rut it had been all tu valu. Now and then there had come reports to Beckett's Mill to the effect that Sim had been captured; but, as Is usual with such reports, It always turned out u case of mistaken Identity. Pap was wondering where Sim could have gone to hide himself so complete ly and whether ho was still among the living. Ho was wondering, too, wheth er tf Sim still lived he would ever re turn to Possum Ridge and if he return ed what would be his fate. It was with such thoughts as these the old man was busy when he was suddenly aroused and shocked by some one close to him saying quietly: "Why, howdy, Pap Sampson?" Pap started and looked quickly around, and, his eyes falling on a bearded, sun tanned face, his mouth fell open and be stared in stupid amazement for almost a minute. Then he rubbed his eyes and stared again. "Lord a-massy!" bo exclaimed at last. "Am 1 dreamln, or is tbut r'ally Sim Ranks?" "It la r'nlly Sim Banks, Tap." the other replied; "what's loft of him any way." Pap was down off the fence in the twinkling of an eye. ami tho next mo ment he had Sim by tho hand, shak ing it witli a heartiness that was al most painful. "Great land of Goshen!" ho cried. "Who'd *a' thought It? Lord a-ninssy! It's shore old Sim, ain't it?" "I guees It Is, Tap. Are you sur prised to see me?" "Surprised to see you! Why, Lord, I Wouldn't ho no more surprised If the Bky was to drop. Hut think of the devil an he's shore to make his np pearanee, as the old savin goes." "Were you thlnkln of moV" "Jest been a-sittln thai' on tho fence svwouderln whar you'd gono an what had 'conto of you an if I was over a-gwlne to git to see you any more. 1 waa jest a-gwlne over them thoughts when you moughty nigli Bkecred the life out of me by speak In to me that a-way. Land, don't hardly seem like It can be you, SI in." "Don't it?" "Shore It don't. Hut whar you been all these years?" "I've been to the war, Pap." "Great day In tho mornlnl You ain't been llghtiu Into the army, have you?" "Yes, I've done some llghtiu." "But yon wasn't killed, bless the Lord." "Not quite." "lie came next thing to It, though," Sim's companion volunteered. "Is that so?" I'ap cried. "Waal, I'll be Smitehedl You come moughty nigh glttin killed?" "Yes, 1 had a pretty elose eall once." "Great land! Tell me all 'hout It, won't you, Sbn?" "Yes, but first you must tell me somcthin, Tap. How Is Loueosy?" "Lord, ain't I a great old fool, a-run jdn on here that a-way, never a-think fn 'bout what you'd nat'rally be Jest a-dyln to know? Loueesy's well." "Where Is she?up at the old place?" "La, no! She ain't lived tliar seneo yon went away. She's down at town." "What Is she doln down there?" "She's workln In a store to earn her llvln." 81m was surprised. "To earn her llvln?" bo repeated. I'ap nodded his head. "What's become of all the land I left her?" Sim asked. "It's thar Jest as It was. Sho ain't never tecbed a foot of it" "Why?" "Said it was your'n an she didn't do serve it" Sim pausen a moment, tuen sain: "An Melvln?" "Lordl" i'ap exclaimed. "Don't yon know?" "No. Did be an Lonecsy"?? "No. Ho was killed tho day you left." A queer expression came to Sim's face, an expression In which surprise and relief were blended. "Didn't you know 'bout ldm beln killed?" I'ap asked. "No. 1 have never heard n word from homo senoo 1 went away, an 1 don't know anything that lias happen ed. Who killed him?" Tho man who ciiiiio With Sim looked quickly up and appeared to wait eager ly for Pap's reply. It was then I'ap noticed for tho first ilmo how polo and emaciated that man was. _ I "Who killed Melvln?" Sim repeated presently ? "1 don't know," Pop answered. "The next morn in after yon left Jim Thorn found the dentl body In your woods with a h?llet hole through It. He had been killed several hours then." "And nobody knows who done ItV" Pop shook his head. "Was nobody susp? cted V" The old man turned away and began to thump his cane against the ground, but bo made no reply. Sim saw that Pop's action meant something, and he began to put a few things together. lie J remembered that he had gone into i those woods with his gun about the time the killing must have occurred and then had disappeared. Ho remem bered also the threat he had made that day In Mrs. Mann's wbcatflcld. Ke ealllng these things and noting Pap's | behavior, he was quick enough to sus pect the truth. Pale, but linn, he said: ' Tap, was anybody suspected of kill In Melvln V" The old man hesitated still, but dual ly he replied: "Thor mought 'a' been, Sim; yes, I'm afcard thai" mought 'a' been. But. Sim. I nln't never suspected nobody." "I know, Tap. But who did the oth ers suspect V" Again Sim's companion leaned eager ly forward and seemed to await Pap's reply. After a short pa iso the old man said slowly: ?'Von know, Sim. thar's allus some pcupli teud> io buspect anything bad of a body if they've got a ghost of a reason. I?le's go on home, Sim. 1 guess you must be tired an hungry." "No, Pap, not now. You must tell me the truth." "Oh, Lord, Sim, I can't tell you no more."' "Yes, yon can tell me who was hus peeted." "I'd rut her not." "Then It's true. Pap. It Is mo?" Pap remained silent. "Toll me," Sim Insisted. "Is It me?" "I'm nfcard so, Sim: yes. Pm afeord that's some ns thinks it w as you. But I d.m'l think it." Sim had known what was coming, but Pap's admission was a hard blow for alt that. His head drooped, ami an expression of bitter pain came over his features. Pap saw and understood und, placing his hand oil Sim's shoul der, said consolingly: "But I don't b'lleve It, Sim. an no body'll ever make mo b'lleve it for a minute If they sw'ar'to it on a stack of Bibles- never." The old man's net and won*; did Sim good. It wa< a great com fori lo know thai he had on.' true friend at h ast. "I know, Pap," he said, "thai I can always trust you. You'll stand by me to tin- last." "That's what I will. Sim, 'cause I know you're not guilty." "An thar's others," Sim said. "Thar's Sam Morgan an Jason Hub erts. They'll never b'lleve me guilty either, will they, Pop?" Pap was seriously troubled, and he showed II. ??Sim." he said, "1 know you uns must l>o tlrod an hungry. Le'a go on home an talk afforwards." "No." Sim replied; "I want to know the truth, tho whole hitter truth. So Sam an Jason b'JIcvc me guilty of sueh a terrible crime as that V" "I dunno." I'ap answered. "They don't want to b'Heve It. Sim. I know they don't want to h'llevo It." "But they do," Sim said, with a nigh of resignation. "Want, so be it. An I.oueesy" ? Pap raised his hand Instantly, and a beam Of pleasure lighted his faee. "No. Sim," he Interrupted, "don't you say that. I.oueesy don't h'lieve It an never has h'lieved it. When site first beard you accused, she said it was a lie. an she's stuck to it from that day to this." "Thank God!" Sim cried fervently. "If she don't b'llevo It, I don't rare I what anybody else thinks." "She don't, Sim. I'm toll In you the God's truth. She don't. An now we've said enough for this time, so le's go en home." But Sim did not move, and he had become deeply thoughtful. After a lit tle he said: "I don't know what I had host do. This Is all so new an unexpected to me that I can't Jest see my way clear. If I stop here, I'll be arrested." In his excitement I'ap Sampson had forgotten this, hut he knew It was true. If Sim's presence in the village hocame known, he would certainly he arrested, ami then the gallows, or at least tho state prison, would no doubt await htm. "You had better hide somewhere un til night," he said anxiously, "then go away again. T hat Is the best you can do now." But Sim deliberated a long time, theu eahl slowly: "Maybe you're right. Pap, but I don't know. A body may as well bo dead or In prison as to bo a wanderer on the earth, with neither home nor friends m always la dread of some thin. No matter what anybody says or thinks. I'm Innocent." "1 know It. Sim; I know It," I'ap said 08SUrlngly. "But. then, courts tnehhy won't see as we do." "Maybe not. rap." Sim replied aftef a pause, "hut I'm innocent, an I'm goln to stay." "But think. Sim. of" ? "I nave thought of It nil. Pap. I'm goln to stay an face It out." Then Sim's companion, who bad lis tened Intently all this while, spoke up again. Laying his hand on Sim's arm, he said earnestly: "And you'll never be hurt, Sim. Nev er so much as a hair of your head shall he touched." I'ap Sampson looked at the speaker doubtfully. "How do you know that?" he asked. "It doesn't matter how 1 know It," the other answered. "1 Know It, and that Is enough." "Who are you, an what do you know 'bout this affair?" Pap ques tioned. "My name Is Thompson, and I am Sim Baldes' friend. I have been bis friend slnco that day bo saved my life at tho risk of his own." "That was nothln," Sim said. "Any body would have dono all 1 did." "Anybody would have rushed Into that hail of shot and shell after our men had retreated and carried a wounded comrado off tho bnttlcQold to savo him from tho enemy? You'll never mako mo bellovo any such thing. ' Nobody can over mako mo bellovo mat there's auothcr man lu tho world besides Sim Panks who was bruve enough to have dorn? It." "My Lord, Joe, I'd beeu a brute If 1 hadn't dotlO It," Sim protested, "a plumb cowardly brute. You maUo too much over a little UO 'COUUt thing liUo that." "It may seem of no account to you, but It doesn't to me, 1 can tell you. I guess It didn't seem so to the men who saw It either, Judging from the way they cheered you. Why, eveu tho ene my cheered." *T didn't hear It," Sim said. "No, you were too busy trying to get mo out of that awful place. I guess you didn't even hear tho bullets whiz zing round your head like a swarm of bees?" "I didn't." "Well, I heard them, you can Just bet. It was just liko u hailstorm bro ken loose. I know I thought every second we'd both bo killed, and 1 can't understand why we weren't. 1 begged you to leave me and save yourself If you could, ami you wouldn't do it." "Oil, waal, Joe, le'a let that alone. I'm plumb tired of hearln of that fool thing. It ain't worth kleklu up so much fuss about." "Well, that's Just your oplmoi., Sim. Other people seo It differently. Then , there Is tho way you looked after mo for weeks while I was in hospital. No father, no brother, my own mother even, could not have been more care ful of me. 1 remember It all, Slin, and I'll never forget it as long as l live." "Waal, that's all right, Joe," Sim said, "but I'm tired an hungry, so lu's not say no more, but go along of Ptip. I'll go to his bouse an rest a bit. Then I'll go an give myself up." "You'll not give yourself up this day nor this night, Sim," Pap announced flatly. "You'll have one good rest llrst If I know myself, an Pin most shore 1 do, for it' they git you Into jail you won't have no rest thar." "No, but it's all right, Pap. I'm re signed to take whntever^Uomes, an 1 reckon It don't matter much what It Is I ain't got anything to live for no n >ro nohow, an I'd jest Its well be dead not." "Hut you'll never be hurl. Sim." the other said. "Don't you think It. Not a hair of your head shall be tottclu d." Pap Sampson looked wondoringly at the speaker, saw something he hud not observed before and in his aston ish men t unthonghtedly cried: "My Lord, stranger, you're not goin to live long." Thompson smiled. "I know it," lie aaid, "but it is b >st. I only want to do one thing more, and then I'm done, and I'll live to do It; vbh. I'll live to do It."

A concentrated food containing n largo per cent of indigestible woody ?ber like bran Is uot suitable Cor young pigs, and they will not thrive ou it or a mixture of It half and half with some more digestible concentrate until they have reached the age of 4 or 5 months.

Any food that contains a large per cent of Indigesti ble matter should be rejected as a pig food during the first months of the pig's existence. While they are still with their mothers and for a time aft erward a gooil quality of shorts or middlings or shorts with ground oats or barley Is found to give satisfactory results. This is particularly the ease. If, after weaning, these foods are sup plemented by a supply of skimtnllk. Brief Mention. Deep preparation and shallow and | frequent cultivation nre the rule tor big com crops. Illce culture Is one of the promising Industries of the south. The possibili ties for nu export trade are already considered. Strawberries require a large quantity of water, and this Is usually more cash ly secured by thorough cultivation than by Irrlgat lou. Cucumber sowing Is in order. Give the cabbage crop rich ground. As a rule early planting of tobacco secures the benefit of spring rains and Secures Comparative freedom from in sects, with the exception of the cut worm. Reforestation with oak In France Is said to represent at the end of 31 years 0 per cent annually on the Invest ment. The disappearance of the "old fash ioned apple" is a frequent lament. The modern fruit Is fair to look upon, but genuine flavor Is too often absent. The King of Slain, said to be the Ho est orange ever grown, Is the sensa tion ninon,' epicures. It Is growu in Florida and California and looks like a tangerine, with a loose, rough skin. The output of the 175 canneries In Maine Is $5.0(X),000 annually. In ordi nary years $350,000 Is paid to farmers for sweet coru alone. The cauliflower growers of Long Is land, New York, have formed an or ganization to market their product at better priees. Cuyaboga county (O.) farmers are protesting against tho proposed In crease of 33 1-3 per cent of tho valua tion on farm lands In Ohio by the state board of equalization. . Dr. Stubbs, wdio has been Investigat ing Hawaiian agriculture, is credited with the report that sugar growing is the only well developed Ind jstry. Veg etables and fruits, except bananas and pineapples, nre supplied by California and other Pacific regions. Again a movement to curtail tbo cot ton acreage Is called for by some of the ?out hern growers. We have very satisfactory results from running around all our crops, as toon as well up, with tiro one horse subsoil plow, says Southern Cultivator. This thoroughly breaks the ground be low the crops beforo the roots have branched out enough to be Injured. It also causes tho rainwater to collect under the plants where It Is most needed. This Is the only deep plowing we do In cultivating. Flush out the middles with harrow or scrape.

Bmts %u -a "H Kind Yo'j Hate Always Bought THE SOUTH AT CHICKAMAU&A. Unveiling the Monument to South Carolinians. The following address was delivered on the 37th of May at the unveiling of tho monument ou the battlefield to the South Carolinians who were killed at Chieka niauga The orator of the occasion whs Hon. Daniel B. Henderson, the Seuator from Aikrn County . Ladiks and Gkn rr,k\ikn : f Americans, through ail stages and pe riodB of their history, have fought, aud ever will light, for the preservation of what they honestly believe to be founded iu principle. From the byways and hedges of Lexington to the nuirshes of Vorktown our forefathers fought to es tablish Hie oqual rights of men against the exactions and encroa< hments of ty nintB. The blood of Warren sprinkled on the green sward of Bunker Mill, and the blood of Jasper, bespattering the ramparts of Savannah, were alike sacri flees upon the altar of patriotism f )r love of liberty. ThO blood of the brave Mcl'hcr: >n freely abed on the phmisof Atlanta; und the blood of the immortal Stonewall Jackson, running freely amid the fust nesscs of the Wilderness on that fatal night, were alike unstinted offerings of devotion to duty, and conscientious con viction of right. Neither were rebels. Both were pa - triota As much sous tho heroic War ren or the brave .Jasper. When the din and turmoil t f the Rev olutionary struggle had comparatively subsidod, the separate and independent colonies entered into "Articles of Con federation" aud a "Federal Constitu tion," in every line and sentence of which, Mid in every utterance of debate from which they emanated, is written the understanding, that the union wits voluntary, with euch Stute remaining a BtCl'AHATK entity: and Buch powers alone were given the Union as were ex pressed and tet forth. All others wore Itksknvkd to the States and their citi zons, Time rolled on. Prosperity followed adversity. The impetus of Freedom gave momentum and push Lo the engines of development and enterprise. Indi vidual aggrandizomont and Bcctioual in terest brought on political turmoil and unrest. Right or wrong, the whole country was in a fermentation. The one side asserting tho''Indissoluble Union." the^other ast'orting the "ludostruclublo States." South Carolina, whom in part 1 repre sent on this auspicious occasion (the homo of .John Rutledge, one of the lirst Chief Justices of the Supreme Court of the United SlatcB ; the home of that em inent Pinckney whose enunciation, "Mil lions for defense, not a cent for tribute," will u\or be a paean in the cause of free dorn), South Carolina, on the 20th of De comber. 18(10. hv BOlomn conventional action, retired troin that confederacy, which 6he bad voluntarily joined and to which she had freely contributed of blood and treasure. Iu the ides of the following April the first gun "of the war between the States ' reverberated in the harbor of old Charleston. The North armed to sustain its view of the union. The .South urined to sum tain its ideas of the sovereignly of the States and freedom of action. As that great Kngliabnmn, an Impar tial witness, Lord Wolselcy, has truly exprebsed it, "The true cause of the con flict was A NT AO ON Ism between the spirit of Federalism and the principles of State's Rights " Hull Hun ran red with the gore of brothers. * On to Richmond" was the cry in the Last. 1 On to Atlanta" tbo cry in the West. The sanctity of our homes and our hearthstones : the exercise of home rule anil home government aroused every en ergy of the South : and from 1 the cradle to the grave'1 the call to anna was heart ily obeyed. " They left the plough-hare in the mould. The (locks and herd- without a fold." Through the clover fields of that grand, green valley of old Virginia the tocsin of the dread s-truggle sounded ami surged. Marathon aud Thermopylae Pbarsalia and Oannte were surpassed In glory and heroism. The hcene shifts beyond the beautiful V.aa mountains. Gaincs1 Mlil and Km zier's Farm and Malvorn Hill are envel oped with the smoke and turmoil of the fray Never did ancient warriors, whether Grecian, Hornau or Macedonian, show greater courage and fortitude than that which the American soldier, 01) both sides, exhibited on these ensanguined lields. No mcdia-val cavalier with burnished armor and drawn chnetcr ever felt the patriotism that animated the bonuio boys of the Southland, who tramped vie tori ous over the Seven Days battlefields around Richmond. Again Manassas shouts forth the lior rible sounds of perilous battle, aud goes down into history as a victory for the immortal Lee, more iliusliiotis than Montibello or Sol fori no were to the great Bonaparte. McOlellan, with his almost countless thousands, again grapples with the hardy veterans along the waters of the Antiotam; and sharp and fearful is the carnage. The God of battles himself must have wept over the fearful destruction of American manhood. At Frcdericksburg, the heroic life of Maxcy Gregg, Caro ina's great so dier, and that of Tom Cobb, Georgia's valiant son, tlowcd out; and the myriads of Burnsidc were hh easily driven back as those of Xerxes in the olden Ihnes Chanccllorsvillo with its great victory, hut its sad loss, looms up Jackson passed over the river and rested under the shade of the trees ; and .leb Stuart, with his (lowing plume and keen Bam ascan blade, led the Stonewall brigade anil their associates to victory with as much dash as ever did Henry of Navarre, the lion hearted Kichard, or the impetu ous Murat. We crossed tho liver once more ! Around the Cemetery Heights and Seminary Hidge the alarm of war hroke loose with itu most terrible vigor. The defensive had been transferred to the North : and wdien IMckctt and his vete rans were decimated, and the tide of fate bore back his bleeding columns, Robert R. Lee mot them amid the crash ing sholls and crushing shot and told them in that manly, moral, heroic man ncr, "It i? uot your fault, hoys, it is all mine." "Nor purer sword led brawr hand, Nor braver bled for a brighter land, Nor brighter land bad a ciiiihi bo grand, Nor cause a chief liko bee." From tho beginning of the struggle in the great WcBt, where tho hardy fron tiersmen of the North met the sturdy huntsmen of the South, the combat was more equal, exacting and uncertain. Doiielson, Henry and Vicksburg, with their misfortunes and mistakes, passed into hiatorv. ?hlloh, with its two days Of burning achievement, electrified the world as an exhibition of tho battle power of Aineri can manhood. Its first day of glorious victory to the South, dimmed only ffhon "freedom shrieked" as Hidney Johnston fell, was scarcely ovcrhalaneed by the success of the second day to the North, brought about chielly by that pertinacity, stern determination and confidence which characterized U. 8. Grant as ? born loader of men. Tho Cray and the Blue grappled to gether on many a gory Held from tho Mississippi to tho Tonnessco. The stars and hars, and stars and stripes, wavod defiance at each other across many a ravlno of that grand region. Bedford Forrest, "tho noblest Roman of them all," led his troopers triumphant from one end to tho other. In tho crucial year of 1868, whon the shortening days of September eaino and tho halo of the Indian summor wascroop ing ovor this favored region of Georgia and Tonnossoo, tho electric battorios of horrid war stirred tho lcthean waters of this "Itiver of Death," aud its search lights i luml?atod these grand overhang ing mountain peaks with a luriduosB never to he forgotten. Oucoagaiu.as iu its legendary historic past, o.d Chicka mauga became the tramping grouud of hosts of men embraced in an ensan guiued struggle for annihilation aud de struction. Both sides were ably led. both Bides fought nobly. Both sides conscientiously acted. All of them pa triots : none of them rebels. Leo had detached from Virginia and seat his great corps commander, Long street, with his hardened veterans to a.a the Confederate chicftaiu, BraxtOU Bragg (he, the same Captain Bragg who, under the stars and stripes at the bloody Mexican battle of Bucua Vista, had re ceived and valiantly carried out the memorable order of Gen. Taylor, "Give them a little more grape, Capt Bragg.") Grant had hurried forward the Ilowerof the Western army to the aid of the Federal commander, Kosectnns. "And when the l mists had rolled away," on that autuai mil Sabbath morn of the second day and rovOBiOd the serried ranks of the oppos ing hosts to each other, it was a sight before which the Sun of Austerlit/. would have dimmed, and a sight to which the Old Guard of Napoleon and the Luglisli Squares of the Iron Duke at Water oo, opposing each other, was hut a circuni stance. What was done?what deeds of daring were achieved -what charges and coun ter charges were developed- how bat teries were handled with wonderful sci entific skill?how battalions of infantry and Bquadrous of cavalry covered theiu seives with glory-how particular com mands and individual commanders espe cially distinguished themselves, those who were here and mingled in the fray can better tell than 1. The carnage of the contest best tells the tale of the lighting. 16,170 on the side of the Federals ; 17,80-1 on the aide of the Confederates. When nightfall came the complete dis comliture of the F?deral army was ar rested only by the intrepid stand of George 11. Thomas, himself a Virgin inn, who has gone down into history as the ' Kock of Gbickamauga" and whose name as an imperturbable leader of lighting men should be wntt-jn high in the gal lery of fame How those who perished here, whoso blood darkened these slopes, ravines and hillsides, lire revered by their peop'c lit home, is told in mute and silent language by the monumental spires that have been orectcd iu this National Park by sixteen Of tho Stales of ihis reunited Union, at the aggregate cost of $500,000. It w certainly a befitting and mag nanimous act on the part of the Govern ment of the United Mates to permit the establishment ot a N ttioual Park on this battlefield, where the Confederates ob tained the advantage, and especially when the Act of Congress permits both tides to mark their lines of battle and to erect monuments over their gallant dead The South has accepted the opportunity and joins in the spirit of reconciliation She did her best. Whatever she had of blood, of treasure, of spirit and love, she unstintedly laid upon the altar as a sacrilice for love of freedom and lihjrty of conscience. What Courts and Constitutions and Conventions and Congresses aud 1'iesi dents could not do, it took the arbitra ment of stern war to do. The "Indisso luble Union" on the one side, ami "Inde structible States ' on the other side, have become the "indissoluble Union" of' in destructible Stales " Whoever else we may light as an American people, we will never again light ourselves. Distensions and strifes and turmoils, begotten of political fer mentations and upheavals, will come ; but the question Of the separate action of the States (whilst they have their rights, which exist and are respected every day by the courts and the govern mont,] is settled lor all time. To day the Palmetto State, the grand old Commonwealth of South Carolina, as a mem! i of tue American Union, comes to this shrine of sacrilice, tins al tar of freedom, where the pride and glory ol her yeomanry shed their blood, to show her appreciation of their patri otic oudoavors. True, she was the "cradle of seces sion,' but she always was and always will bo a loador in conscientious action . and her history of patriotic devotion 10 duty has been open to the world from the time she joined with Massachusetts in defying the tyranny of "taxation with out representation" to the present time. For her devotion to republican prin ciples, as fairly understood by our fore fathers, let the hones of her sons who per ished at King's Mountain, at Cowpcne, at iOlttaW, and at the Palmetto Fort, speak I For her determination to per DOtuatO those principles let the blood of Bonhain who perished at the Alamo, and the PelmettO hoys who fell with butler amid the halls of the Montczumas speak !

" Carolina's dead, Carolina's dead On every hill they lie." in Virginia her spirit was evinced by the brave hoys led by such men as Hampton and Butler and Gary and Mo Gowau and Hagood. Ripley and Elliott, Rhott and Mitch ell. Gaillard ami Buguonin, and their noble boys stood amid the crumbling walls of Sumter for four years and never surrendered.

Let the Palmetto tree which stands as the cap piece to yonder monument, reuiaiu there forever "as the memorial of her veneration for the deeds of her brav? boyB; ami whoo la after years Carolin ians of another age stop here to view it, let them in memory recall the fact that 00 the monument erected at her eapitol city, Columbia, by the women of her State to her Confederate dead, is graven that wonderful sentence so powerfully put by the polished John 8. I'restou, which appiies to all alike, there and here : " Let the stranger who may in after times read this incriptiou recogui/.e that these were meu whom power could not corrupt, whom death could not ter rify, whom defeat could not dishonor, and let their virtues plead for just judg ment of the cause in which they perished. Let the South Carolinian of another generation remember that the State tiiught them how to live and how to die, ami from her broken fortunes she has preserved for her children the priceless treasure of their memory, teaching all Who may claim the same birthright, that truth, courage, and patriotism endures f jrever." One more word and I have finished. In this bivouac of the dead, where these silent sentinels commemotaling the love of the ' ivine for the departed heroes, lift their heads to high heaven In tcttlmouy thereof, wo have assembled on this aus picious occasion not as Confederates or Federals, but as Americans, and the sur vivors of the heroes of both sides, who thirty six years ago laid aside their arms and returned to the peaceful vocations of life, realizing the fact with satisfac tion and pride that they are component parts of the greatest Union of the world. The South in that period, by earnest endeavor and a candid realization of her situation, without surrender of her opin ions, hut in the true manly spirit of re conciliation has resuscitated her waste places and energies much more elTcc tually than France has done from the result of the Franco German war.

Baltimore, Md. with its impedimenta, of growing civili zation ; with its temptations that beset the new giant?our Kcpublie ? among the woi hi powers; and the bewitching en ticements which our increased responsi bility engenders, it behooves us as a peo ple, as a Republic, (especially when pondorlng {over auch memories as are brought to our minds at such places as this where we linger today), to look well to ovir mooringa and aspirations, and to consider our destiny. We are equal to any emergency of advancing civiliza tion, if we a-< a people only keep our peace with God by our voice and con versation. We must he equal to the lemands that progress creates, without OVOlUtlng into imperialism, else the dream of our fore fathers, that the people should rule and arc capable Of it, becomes a myth We should not be land grabbers or buccaneers for pelf or plunder, hut among lb< nations of the world, boldly asserting our rights to the extension of otir commerce ander proper treaty rela tions for the enjoyment of our trade, be content to have the beneficent Monroe Doctrine receive its old time construe tion, lest if we extend it to allow us to establish dependencies and colonies else where, the other powers can claim a reciprocal construction for themselves in seizing territory in the Western World. I stood a few weeks since on one of its busiest, most etching days, in Wall Street, New York where the financial pulse of the country, ami in fact of the world, cau always be felt, and watched with interest that bronze statue of the great Washington erected at that spot where he tot k the oath of 0 ill CO as the first President of our young Republic and with his riirht hand held forward, and in a speaking attitude, he seemed truly typical of that grand warning he gave us in his farewell address, never to cuter "into entangling alliances with foreign powers." The kings and emperors; the princvn and potentates of kingdoms and empires, kept together by the powers of grand standing armies ami navies, sooner or later will need the aid of this people governed country, which wllOD united can always meet any issue, to wrostthom from the rush of arms against each other: but it is belter, far belter, for us to stand In no compulsory relation with any of them; and free and independent, to act, shaping our own policies b.ised upon pure Democratic principles, ami breath Ing the pure tor of national independ ence and freedom, as typified by our grand mountains, our rolling rivets, and our marls of dOVClO) tnont and progress To that end let our hopes ami actions lead us; and in the vast and increasingly vast aggregation of American citizen ship, there is no class that will rendot more devout loyalty to the onward march of American ontorprise and American progress as the rightful fruit of the heritage handed down to us by the fathers, than the survivors and the children of the survivors of the great war between the States; a Struggle un equaled in history, ancient or modorn, and out of which has conic a reconcilia tion which, we pray God, may be. as lasting as that struggle was gigantic.
