NEW ORLEANS COTTON PANIC.
New Orleans had an upheaval
Friday in the Cotton markets.
On account of the gala days at
New York the cotton exchange
was closed and by some means
false rumor's of phenominal ad
vances in Liverpool got afloat.
The New Orleans market got
wild and cotton went up 54 points
Vhen telegrams began to come
from Liverpool asking the mean
ing. Then it dawned on the cotton
-
iuture men that there was some
thing wrong and again the trade
centers were wild with panic for
somebody, or an aggregation of
somebodies, had parted with
about 170,000 unless the futures
can be made nul and void which
is declared but may not be sus
tained in the courts.
At Savannah the demoraliza
tion was almost as great. Au
gusta, Mobile and other Southern
markets influenced largely by
New Orleans suffered also.
Tjhe spasm happily did not af
fect us and Concord is standing
platfooted on Cotton.
It seems something of a warn
ing, however, that dealing in Cot
ton futures is very dangerous.

MRS. SMITH'S POEMS.
. We had the honor; on Friday,
of a call, in the Standard office,
by Mrs. Captain Smith, the aid-de-camp,
of the United , Confeder
ate Veterans' Association. Mrs;
Smith is an ardent lover: of v the
heroic.
She left on our desk a little
book of poems, of which 'she is
the authoress of all but one, we
believe. (That is by an old
"vet" dead in love with a Mobile
widow).
A number of Mrs. Smith's best
efforts were for special' occa
sions. Among these is the
"Peace Jubilee Song," for the
Atlanta Jubilee, December 14th
and 15th, '98. It is, a four-line
six-syllabledr, poetic . greeting,
containing ten stanzas, in which
each stanza ends in a single
rhyme thus: U
"Ye men of Grant and Lee
From near and o'er the sea,
In accents loud and f rep
Join in our Jubilee!"
We like this on Fitzhugh
Lee:
"As brave as the bavest, both no
ble and true,
As pure as the flowers besprinkled
with dew,
Is the heart of the man all daunt
less and free
Whom love we and honor it is
Fitzhugh Lee.
Heedless of danger, he encoun
tered the foe,
And solac'd the Cubans 'midst
carnage and woe.
For right and honor his blood
he'd have given,
And brought on Spaniards the
justice of Heaven.
Ever we'll cherish in this "Land
of the Free,"
A name that is sacred the name
of a Lee."
Of Gen. Weeler, she writes,
A Hero of Two Wars, " thus :
'All hail to the hero, the General
Who less of danger, his
country to save,
Twice plunged in the center of
warfare and strife,
Leaving his belov'd ones and
risking his life
For a cause that was just, a prin
ciple too
That lives in a heart that is hon
est and true.
For him, a brisrht wreath of
laurels we will twine.
And with fairest of blossoms
we'll let them combine,
As a token faint of the good he
has done
Of the battles fought of the vic
tories won."
At the meeting of Camp 159 in
Atlanta, Ga., last March, she re
cited the following pathetic lines
on "Our Dead Soldiers:"
"'Neath the blue vault of heaven,
Neath the dark ocean tide,
Scattered, all lie scattered
Scattered far and wide.
From far-off, snowy mount
To the distant sun-lit West ,
From the gushing Southern fount
To old ocean's steel blue crest, .
On Virginia's warrior sod,
Like leaves in autumn time, -
Our soldiers' graves lie scattered
Throughout our Southern clime.
wnere winxry sporms are raging,
Where wavelets kiss the beam,
Where starry lights are gleam
ing,. . V
Where glides the silver stream," :
Where beauteous flowers are
growing, ;: J ; . -
Where sunny lights are shed,"
Where Southern winds are blow-
Rest, too, our sacred dead.
And 'though no dirge was
t chanted, -
Above their nameless graves, -Prayers
untold we've murmured
For our sleeping braves. :
'Though no bell kept chiming -For
their parting knell, ; ; )- : r
A-requiem for the honored dead
Each beating heart will tell. '
Throughout our sunny clime,
O'er ocean's boisterous main,
Will float around, afar and wide,
Their glory and their iame.
O! starry lights beam o'er' them!
Night winds blow "gently round!
Good angels, watchjabbve theirr-
Guard well each hallowed
mound!"

, In Yogue Yet.
It is a custom ;amongtne In
dians that when a prisoner is
taken in 'battle the tribe hold a
errand feast, in which the
prisoner acts as chief ihourner
and leader of the ' great wall.
One of the best known games at
such a festival has been called
running the gaunlet. In playing
this ;game the men, women and
children of the tribe provide
themselves with sticks, t clubs,
knives, etc., "form in two lines
and force the victim to run be
tween, during which the sticks,
clubs, knives, etc. , come into
vigorous action, to the great
amusement of the beholders
thereof and the comfort of their
guest. , i ' J
Some such custom must have
been common to the progenitors
of the American, people, for a
ceremony nearly related to it,
perhaps the grandson, still, re
mains among us. The following
is an account of the custom as
practiced some four hundred
years ago, taken from a manu:
script recently discovered; we
can easily see how little worn
and untarnished the . rite has
been handed down to usj' i
, 1 'And the day did cohie when
the folko should goe'into the
house of worship, and give
thanks, and the maidens and
matrons did goe therein, and of
the old menne some, but of the
younge menne few. But when
the hour did come for the f olke
to pass out, the younge menne
did gather together, at the doore
of the churche, and did form a
line thro which must the folke
pass. The which the maidens
liked not, but nevertheless the
younge menne hardened their
hearte, and the custom became
universal among them; and the
same endure th even to this daye."

Duiing the civil war, as well as
in our late war with ; Spain, diar
rhoea was one of the most
troublesome diseases the army
had to contend with. In many
instances it became chronic and
the" old soldiers, still suffer from
it. Mr. J?avid Taylor, of Wind
Ridge, Greene county, JPa., is one
of these. He uses Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy and says he never found
anything that would give him
such quick relief. It is tor sale
