The speech of Hon. James* W. Aus
tin, of Atlanta, was one of the liuest
foaturea of the reunion, and is as fol
lows :
A distinguished bishop of tho Moth
odlst church toils tho story of an im
poouatouB old lady who was engaged iu
tbo infant industry of raising chickens
for rovenua only, and who, to reduco nor
oxponses and onlarge her profits, hit
upon the novel idea of mixing sawduBt
with tho bran which sho fed to her
feathered tribo. Observing that tho un
suspocting fowls readily ato, and ap
peared to tbrivo on, thoir mixed diot,
tho thrifty, old damo began to loBSon tho
quantity of bran and increaso tbo pro
portion of sawdust until dually the old
lady believed that she had struck a
bonan/.a in tho chickon business. After
a tiino, however, one of her hone, which
had been nourished on this sawdust
rogimo, took to the nest and in the dao
courso of natural incubation hatched out
a brood, but when tho good damo wont
out to examino and count hor little pots,
sho found that of tho five chickens tho
old hen had brought off, four of tho lot
had wooden logs and tho other was a
woodpeckor.
Whatovor may be tho result of the
speech which I am .scheduled to hatch
out on this occasion, 1 can say to tho
old soldiers whom I see boforo mo that
from tho day I slippod out of a South
Carolina cradlo to this good hour, I have
been fed on the nure and unadulterated
milk of the- gospel of Southern senti
ment ; my heart has been warmed at the
fires of undying devotion to Southorn
memories and Southern traditions, and
that I have novor yet boon fed and,
thank God, novor shall bo on the niisor
ablo Bawdust of falso history and vilo
slandor which would impugn the eter
nal justico aud tho absoluto right of tho
causo for which you fought, or detract
oue iota from tho splendor of your re
nown and from that magniticont legacy
of honor which you carved out with
your swords on a hundrod battle fields
to leave as a continuing and imporish
ablo inhoritanco to your childron and
your grandchildren's childron, and I can
and do further assort aud maintaiu that
the Sinthern born boy who can look un
moved on theso battle scarred survivors
of u thousand times the noblest army that
ever took tho hold, was raised on saw
dust, and is as destitute of sentiment
and barron of soul as a red streaked,
long billed, yellow headed woodpecker.
Veterans, as I stand here to-day
rovorontly in this preBcnco and look out
with hoi rowful oyos ou the empty sleeves
and crippled forms beforo me?as I gaze
with love in my heart on your bronzed
and wrinkled faces, I can feel the spirit
form of fancy stoaling softly to my side,
and deftly touching with her magic
lingers my trembling eyelids, endow m<
with a vision through which I can sue
tho tide of years roll hackward. 1 can
soo tho sconos of other and of older days
pass in review beforo me and as I look
upon those moving pictures of tho past
"There cornea a voice that awakons my
oul ;
It is the voice of years that are gone?
They roll before mc with their deeds."
Fancy lifts hor wand, and lo ! I can
see your gray hairs turn again to black.
I can see tho furrows on your timo worn
facos ono by ono fade out and on your
chocks the rosy glow of youthful vigor
flush and burn. I can sco your empty
slcovos till cut with tho stalwart limbs
of lusty young manhood. I can see you
stand out beforo me the samo bright
eyed, lion-hearted, strong and handsome
boys you woro whon war's rudo tocsin
sounded out its loud alarum. Aud ere
tho echo of tho call to arms has died
away, I can hear your answer. "Heady!
my country summons and I givo my
all 1"
. I can soo you the .same Btalwart and
handsome sons of tho South as you
march away to battlo. I can seo you
leavo tho happy homo, tho old homo
where your oyus llrst saw tho light of
day, tho old homo "down on the farm "
whero you hunted the fox, the opossum
and tho coon, the home around whoso
doorstop in boyish sport you pitched
your horseshoo quoits, played leapfrog,
marbles, mumblopeg and townball; tho
homo around whose ample fireside
with its blazing logs whoro on winter
nights you cracked your hickory
nuts and roasted your sweot pota
toes in tho glowing embers ; the
old home at whoso hearthstone in
the golden long ago you knelt and
lisped with childish lips tho prayer you
said at tho knee of that dear form that
looks down on you today from beyond
the stars with that same unquonchable
and unsearchable love.
Yes, I can seo you, veterans, take your
leavo of tho old homo. I can see you as
you go oft up tho road, turn back and
wavo your arms in ono last salute at the
little group on the piazza, or clustered
at tho gate. I can soo your old black
mammy around whoso neck your baby
arms had often twined, standing to one
side wiping her eyes with her red Imo
dium. 1 can see tho old grandfather, too
feoblo to stand, seated in his splitbot
tomed ehair, leaning heavily on his cane,
but vigoronsly waving his high hat to
fou over the banister in a last farowoll.
can soe tho fond mothor loaning on
the stronger shoulder of your-sister,
straining her dear old ovos through hor
glasBos to rlvot ono last lingering, loving
look on her doparting boy, bat though
heart was heavy as death itself, don't
yon remember, veterans, bow sho and sis
ter, and sweetheart beckoned yon on. to
go on, and how they waved yon for
ward with something like this (oxhibit

scalding tears ran down their cheeks,
the holiest drops of consecrated patrio
tism that over foil from mortal eyes I
"The mother who conceals her grief,
While to her breast hor son she presses,
Then breathes a few brave words and brlof,
Kissing the patriot brow she blesses.
With no one but her secret God
To know the pain that weighed upon
her.
Sheds holy blood as e'er the sod
Received on froedom's fleld of honor,"
I pause to pay bnt this single trlbnte
to the womanhood of the South. It em
braces but eleven Anglo-Saxon words.
It fell from the lips of a Southern wo
man, and it sums up tho whole story of
wo.nun's fidelity to the lost oauso : "I
would rather be a soldier's widow than
a coward's wife 1" That was the senti
ment which rang from Maryland to
Toxas.
And, now, I can hear again the clear.
' shrill notes of the fife, the stirring roll
of the drpm, the swelling hlaate of the
bngle, the measured tramp of infantry,
the rumble of artillery, and the clatter
ing gallop of cavalry as the legions of
the South pour forward swiftly forming
In the ranks of war, and adopting for
this occasion the boautiful thonght of an
eloquent South Carolinian, I can stand
by the roadside in old Virginia and wit
ness tbe sad and sublime spoctaclo of
your young and vigorous columns In
spired with as earnest and devoted a
patriotism as ever led men to battle,
marching through Richmond to tho Po
tomac, like th) gladiators of ancient
Rome passing beneath the Imperial
throno in the emphlthoatro and oxclaim
ing with uplifted arms, " Moraturt to
?alutant 1"
And my countrymen, it was your own
hand that shouldered thomjsket, yqur
?*? JKyvJald bare to tho
BVituto. 'You did not sacrifice yoursolf
to your country with tho admirable
patriotism of that Northern gentleman,
who being twitted in a political campaign
on his war record, or rather the absence
of one. replied In this strain: " My
competitor has told you of the sorvlce
ho rendered to tho oaptry in the last
war. Let mo tell yon that I too actod an
humble part in that memorable contest.
When tho tocsin of war summoned tho
chivalry of tho North to rally to tho
dofonso of the national honor, I, follow
citizens, animated by that patriotic spirit
which glows in every American bosom,
hired a substitute for that war, and tho
bo lit h of that man <qow lie bleaching on
the banks of tho Chlckahomlny."
There may have boon a few Southern
men who sunt subbtitutos. I have hoard
of but coo instance only and it happened
in this wise: Two Georgians, Bridges
and Moore, were prisoners of war at
Fort McUonry. Bridges was suffering
from a wound in tho log and on account.
of ditUculty Id walking, requested bis
comrade Mooro on one occasion to an
swer sick oall for him. It soems that
Bridges had boon unwell and the prison,
surgoon had given him a box or little
liver pills for his malady. His pills wor.c
out and he wanted more. He instructed
Mooro to answer in his name, to say he
was getting better, but to ask for a fresh
supply of pills Moore cheerfully went
as Bridges' substitute, fell into lino and
when his turn came answerod to the
name of Bridges, and requested another
box of tho pills. The surgeon eyed Moore
narrowly: " Bridges," he said, " you're
uot well yet. Well, I must change your
proscription." Forthwith ho picked up
a retort, poured a liquid from ono vial,
thon another, aud still another. " Doc
tor," said Moore, " I don't think I need
that; I'm getting better, doctor, tho pill
will bo enough, doctor, tho pills will do."
" No, thoy wont," roared tho surgoon,
" drink that, darn you, drink it, I say."
There was no holp for it. Down went
tho mixture
When ho returned to quarters, Bridges
asked MOOIJ if he got his pills. " No 1"
said Mooro. " Well, you noedn't snap
my head off," said Bridges " Bridges,"
Baid Mooro, with a groan," if yon ain't a
well man in a day or two, it won't be my
fault, for I'vo just swallowed the con
foundost doso of mediclno for you that
over wont down my throat."
No, my country men, it was your OWn
voico that answorod to that call No
morconary bands wore yours, no sovor
oign'B shilling tempted you to deeds of
blood, aud so tho otornal pen of him who
shall writo tho impartial truth of history
will never bo ablo to record in tho whole
story of tho four years' struggle one
singlo inBtanco of a Southern soldier
who fought among tho slain for gold or
booty.
Ah, the depth and breadth of the
patriotism of that day. Young men of
the now South I lot mo toll you a story
which illustrates tho doathlcBS devotion
tho Spartan heroism of tho men of tho
old South : Col. Sampson VY. Harris, of
the Sixth Georgia rogimont, near the
close of tho war, was wounded in ono'of
the battlos around Richmond. He was
being carried to tho rear, and while lying
on the straw in the ambulanco, ho heard
the driver say to someone by the road
side. "Don't you want to ride?" The
atubulauco stopped, and ho saw tho driver
roach down and pull a man up ou the
seat beside him. Colonel Harris saw it
waa a wounded soldier. Ho spoke to the
man and asked how ho was wounded.
Tho poor follow turned in his soat and
showod him. His right hand had been
shot away at tho wrist. It was hanging
by tho shrods and teudous, the jagged
bono Btlcklng out from the arm. With
his loft hand, the soldier was clasping
his wrist above the wound to stop \ht
(low of blood Looking at his severed
right hand, the man said to Col. Harris ;
"I have a wife and two little children at
homo and so far as I know that's tho only
support thoy havo in all the world." And
then, as if ashamod of his momentary
weakness, ho said : " But I gavo it to
my country, and hero's anothor she can
have if sho wants it."
"A prince of the blood," said Col
Harris, "could havo knelt at that man's
feot and learned the losson of patriot
ism."
Can you wonder that with a spirit like
this animating tho soldiery of thefSouth,
it to >k billions of treasures and millions
of men and four years of desperato and
dead y struggle to form tho bitter word
" surrender,' through their tooth. It
was this spirit which made the army of
tho Bouth tho most destructive ongine
of war that over blow on battle field its
broath of fire, or harrowed opposing
forces with its toeth of stuol. It was this
spit it that left tho record of an army six
hundrod thousand strong nl its utmost
fighting capacity which placod tho names
of Heven hundred and fifty thousand
wounded and disablod survivorB of the
enemy on tho pension rolls of tho United
BtatoB, and which enrolled on the lists of
Confederate captives the names of two
hundred and sovonty live thousand Fed
oral prisoners of war I
And with all due honor to tho gallant
foeslcbluo who mot you in the san
guinary conflict, it can bo truthfully
said that your roll of captives would be
still longer if your broath could have
hold out at critical times and somo of
our Yankee brethren had been loss fleot
of foot. At least this must be bo if we
are to believe a Federal soldier's account
of ono of his uncles in battle which runs
as follows: "Yes, my undo William I
was a patriotio man. Ho was always
first In battle?coming home. The hat
tie of Bull Bun was a great battle. My
uncle William was there boldly fighting
for two days?sometimes on ono side
?ud sometimes on the other.
" Yes, my unc'.e William was a very
patriotic man. He loved tho glorious
stars and stripes? lovod to rally around
tho dear old flag?and he said ho was
willing to loavotho thickest of tho fight
any time, Just to go to the rear to raliy
around it.
*? I must tell you how undo William
and I killed our last rebol. Wo marched
out to Bull Hun with Fit/. John 1'orter
anclo William and I did, and when we
got about half way there, we met a robe)
In ambush, no pulled out his revolver ;
uncle William and I pulled out our
bowie-knives, and then we both took
the load from tho start and kept it clear
into Washington City/'
And speaking, veterans of that battle
of Bull Kan, reminds me of Eli Perkins'
story Havo you heard it V
Well, at tho battle of Bull Bun, God
oral Alger mot a breathless soldier Hy
ing with the rest of the army towards
Washington. The soldier had a wound
on his face.
" That's a bad wound, my man," said
the general, as the soldier halted
" Whore did you get it ?"
? Got it in the Bull Run flght yesler
My Hair
"I had ? very severe sickness
that took off all my hair. I pur
chased a bottle or Ayer's Hair
Vigor and it brought all my hair
back again."
W. D. Quinn, Marseilles, III.
IOne thing is certain,?
Ayer's Hair Vigor makes
the hair grow. This is
because it is a hair food.
It feeds the hair and the
hair grows, that's all there
is to it. It stops falling
of the hair, too, and al
ways restores color to
gray hair.

Veterans, tho story of that bloody,
blighting war is known to all of you.
It were a taek stupendous to recount a

but must, whenever heard, stir the blood

made tho last horoic stand for Southern

Dog days. So many of the young
people write to me about dog days thai
I will answer briefly |that thoro aro no
dog days. It is nothing but a super-1
stition that has come down to us'from I
the ancients. The Dog star or Siriua
has its time to appear in the heavens
and rise and set like other stars, but it
is a very irregular time and no what
we call dog daya may begin the iirsl of
July or many days lator. The rising
of Sirius in a line with the sun begina
now on the 3d of July and will con
tinue until the 11th of August. Thoao
forty days wero behoved by the an.
cients to bring very hot and sultry
weather and many malignant discntce,
but this has been disproved by modern
astronomy, for tho appearance of Siriu?
is very uncertain and in the course of
time it will rise in the winter. Now a
little more about tins wonderful atar.
You know that we havo eight planots
that belong to our solar system. They
all revolve around tho sun just as tho
earth does and the nearer the planet is
to the aun the faster it travels. Nep
tune is 16,000,000 of miles distant and
it takes 105 years to get around.
But Sirius is away ontside of our
solar system and is 120,000,000,000 of
miles from us and gives 400 times
more light than our sun. It is ihl
largest and brightest star in the'
heavens. It Is called the Dog star bo
causo it appears to be inUhe tail of the
constellation that the afceicnts named
Major Canto Ol tho Big Dog. They
were a smart people and wo still keep
their map of the heavens and their
names of the stars, but they had no
telescopes and did not know that there
were any stars or suns except those
wo see with the nuked eye.
But now youug people listen. It is
now established aud proven ibat there
are millions of stars aud solar systems
afar off in space and that ours is tho
Bmallest aud the most insignificant of
them all. We are nothing and less
than nothing in tho scale of existence.
It has always boou a mysteiy to me
why tbo Creator of the boundless uni
verse, that has no limit, should have
chosen this little world of ours for His
greatest work, the Creation of man in
His own image, a little lower than the
augels, man who sinned and fell and
was redeemed by the sacrifice of the
Son of God. I don't understand it. 1
cannot comprehend, it. This little
world is not biggor than a cannon ball
compared with some of the planets and
s.ars afar out in space. It has but ono
little moon that does not condecoad to
show us but ono side of its anatomy.
The other night we weut out to Mr.
Graugor's beautiful home to look at
the full moon through his great tole
scope that cost 85,000?and is mounted
in a high observatory with a dome that
rovolves as the earth revolves. It was
a magnificent spectacle, but the view of
Jupiter with four moons and Saturn
with his rainbow ring and seven moons
was much more beautiful and impres
sive.
Of courso those planets must be in
habited, for tho Croalor would not
have surrounded a dead world with
such luminous and beautiful satelliloB

I ruminated on this yeatordny when
I reud what Hoosovult said in tri?
speech at West Point. The editor
who publishes it spenks of him aa our
woli tncauing, but impulsive proaidont.
Ho should have said our " conceited
and erratic proaidont." In speaking
of tho great men whom Weat Point
bad graduated, he said, "1 claim to be
a historian and I aponk what I know
to be true that Weat Point has turuod
out more great in.cn and more atatcs
men thnn any otiior institution in the
United States." It was solf-ccncoit
and ignorance that provoked auch a
monstrous absurdity, for Colonel
Sprnguo, of Yule college, has recently
challenged him to the proof nud has
shown beyond all cavil Unit Vale can
number 10 tunes the great men that
West Point can number. Among them
1,888 ministers of tho gospel?78
justices of supreme courts, 17 ohiel
justices,* 640 doctors,*.'!!) Governors of
States and .'IS United States Senators?
besides these Yale has sent forth an
army of educators, established 480 col
leges, 1150 fo- women and 8,000 high
schools while West Point has sent out
none but soldiers.
Teddy ought to bo ashamed of him
self, but he will not be. lie is not yet
ashamed that in his so-called hiatory
he called Mr. Davis an arch traitor
and repudiator and lo,d what ho did
when Governor of Mississippi, etc.
His attention has been called to these
malignant calumnies against a great
statesman and whoso curriculum ut
West Point tlint he ordained when
secretary of-war is still in force and
who never was a member of the Legis
lature nor governor of Mississippi.
No, ho is too conceited to tako back
anything or fco apologize for his mis
takes. The man he slandered was
dead when he published those lies,
but his widow lives and there are
thousands of veterans all over the
South who cherish his memory mid
who now hold his slanderer in supreme
contempt. Yet ho claims to bo a his
torian 1 When a gentleman finds that
ho has unwittingly wronged another
he hastens to apologizo, but a conceited
idiot rolle the morsel under his tongue
and chews it as a cow chows and swal
lows her cud. Ho feods on his conceit.
