Correspondence of The Observer. fiunhurv. Jan. 25. - Yesterday morning dawned gray and cold; the wind -whistled; the snowflakes flew thicg and fast; but this little village was all astir, for with It the day was to be a. reat one. The event was to be the golden wedding celebration of Mr. and Mrs, T. W. Costen, one of Gates county' most beloved cou ples. Friends came from far and near, bringing good wishes and many valuable remembrances. It was "gold, gold, hard and yellow;" but not cold, being touched with the warmth of friendship and love. The home was appropriately deco rated, the color scheme being white nd yellow in both the rwtrlor and dining room. The table was loadeJ with everything to tempt th appetite, and 'good old-fashloneJ hospitality was dispensed In real Southern styl. The children were all present; Mrs. 8. J. Harrell, of Durham; Mrs. J. K. It. Morgan, of Cora Peak; Airs. J. M. White, of Luranfs Neck; Mrs. J. E. Edward .Mrs. C. M. Manning, and Mr. T. W. Costen. Jr., of fcunbury. Two witnesses of the marriage fifty years ago were present: Messrs. E. 8. Call an J Jesse Stokes, of Windsor. Mr. Costen welcomed his gucs's In a most happy speech, which follow: BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE TO MP.1, COSTEN. "My friends: There Is an Old ad age that mys, 'Speech Is si'vi-r; silence Is golden.'

From time Immemorial It has been observed how some members of the m famiiw outstrlo others In the r,ir nt lire. " It may be 4n an du cational point of view, or In politics, or heaping up riches that they may forse to the front. Somn are more fortunate than others In mounting a popular wave on which they may riae into public favor. "There Is a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune.' com Ing events cast their shadows before, and the favored few .seize the opportunity and win the prize. The human mind is differently endowed with faculties to receive Impressions from the earliest days of childhood. Some Inherit the precocity, like ths 3-year-old son of the civil engineer, who caused scientists to wonder In amazement until they were Informed that the child's father was engaged In boring tunnel through a mountala previous to his birth. But this is an extraordinary case; but all prenatal occupations leave their Impress upon posterity's mental development. To illustrate,-the -following - family- will be taken to show what Is often seen. In the early yenvs of the eighteenth century, In Cecil county, Maryland, Robert Davidson married Isabelle Ramsay; and In the course of three or four years two children, a bo and girl, were added to the family, John and .Mary. While the rhi'dren were still small their father died, and for some cause not given the widow Da- A acquaintance ana a s rla"e "suited. John an second mr d Mary re ceived a good education from their step-father, who was a graduate of Princeton, New Jersey. W'hen Join sttame.1 hU majority, PT"ks no stocked wllh nsh, anl the W00(l8 alKe with game, he '.naught 11 Wa" foolish to ))a?s over such a 11 werB lonn "l "". Uved t fine horse and Indulii.! In rjelny w.lh kindred sports. ftnd of danng. wine and women: they were u gav Tolk. and lived fast, yet. they wore the kindest people In the wii-id. Mary Davidson about this time married ft most excellent man by the name of James Price, also ln the aame neighborhood; a man of rine common nene, and was governed by the golden rule, of doing to others as he would have them do unto him. It was a happy marriage, and the Christian principles begun with are. active in the lives of the sixth generation. Not one of Mary's descendants accumulat ed what Is generally supposed to be a fortune, but every one made, a a-ood living. Several of them owned a fam ily. r two of negro slaves, but In ev ery case the slaves were an expense to their owners; their freedom by the Federal army was a good rldance to people like the descendants of Mary Davidson and James Price; they treat ed thflr slaves with the same leniency, and delicacy they extended to their own children, consequently they were a burden tnptead of a help. We will ;iurii ij junn waviuson, ami give a partial account of his married Ufa, his course in the troublous t!men of the American revolution. Mr. Davidson held ttie rank of major In the patriot army. Whether he was ensured In the skirmish of Charlotte, Mclnttre's Branch, tho battle at Cowan'a Ford or at King's Mountain. I am not able io say. but presume he waa active In behalf of the patriot cause, from the active port he took In the great con vention held In Charlotte on May 20th. lu. when notice was given to the world that Mecklenburg had severed all connection with the mother coun try. mi cne act renders the name of Mecklenburg with t"u signers of in Declaration of Independence, Im mortal. Major John Davidson had three sons and seven daughters: his daughters all married men far above the ordinary class. Ilia daughter, Mary, married Dr. John McLean, .the noted revolutionary surgeon, who re sided near the South Fork, in what was formerly Lincoln, bat now Gaston county. She was known far and near as "Aunt Polly McLean." She. was a woman of great talent, read much and digested what she read; was a do.se student of the Bible, and had a good Influence In her neighborhood She was the mother of a large farfTify, and they were fit more than ordinary men tal and physical ability; their oldest son. Dr. John McLean, was a noted sungeon, and hU brother, W'. B. Mc Lean, wan equally as noted'as a phys ician. He was hegarded as the most handsome man ln the Slate, but cowM be Approached by the poorest and most lllltsrate perrons In his county. His brothers, Speight, Augustus. Rob ert, Thomas and two sisters, Rebecca and Violet good women. These .K had most enviable reputa tions a men of honor. The ladles married men ln every way worthy of the family. The three sons, Robert, John and Wilson, wera very prosper ous, were " large lund-holdur. and were owners of a great many slaves. Robert Davidson owned one hundred and thirty slaves. John and Wilson were also quite wealthy and left a handsome estate to their children. From some cause the Divtdsons had a burial ground of their own nearly all were laid away In this private lot. There la no Objection, to this, but it looks rather aelflsh. Violet Jane DavIJson married Wil liam Bain Alexander, who lived ten miles northwest of Charlotte. He was a man of Influence In the county, was register of deeds In the 'county from 180S to 1138. He was blessed with fourteen children. He was able to give them all a common school educa tion, and settle them on a plantation averaging S00 acres, and giving each one a negro man, or the equivalent ln money. His oldest son. Joseph Mc Knltt. married Nancy, a daughter of Colonel Cathey. Robert Datldson married Abigail Bain, daughter cf Rev. S. C. Caldwell. William Bain. Sa., married Theressa. daughter of "Blind Billy" Alexander. John Ram say married Harriet, a daughter of Andrew Henderson. Benjamin Wil son married Elvira, daughter of John McCoy. James McKnltt married itary. daughter of Albert Wilson. George Washington married Sally, daughter of A, B. Letton. Jane Bain married Capt. John Sharp, of Tennes see. Margaret aDvldson married Da- vld HonJerson. Sally Davidson Alex ander never married. Rebecca mar ried Marshal McCoy. Elizabeth mar ried Dr. Isaao Wilson. Abigail Bain marrlec'. Henderson Robinson. Isa bella married Dr. Calvin Weir. Isabella Davidson married Gen. Jo- soph Graham. The following children were the result: James. Charles. John Davidson. William A., and three daughter. Sopphla married Wither- spoon; violet married Dr. M. W. Alexander; Mary married Rev, R. H. Morrison. D. D., of an Illustrious fam ily. Rebecca Davidson married Capt. Alexander Brevard. They had the following children: Robert. -JCohra- im, TheoJsre. Franklin, and two daughters Mary married Professor Brumby; Harriet married Forney: Sally Davidson married Rev. Alexan der Caldwell. They raised three chlN dren, who were an honor to the State. Patsey Caldwell married Jackv Da vidson, John H . Caldwell and David Alexander Caldwell. This was a fam ily of wonderful Intellect. Elizabeth Davidson married William Lee David son. They were not relatedno tos- terlty, Peggy Davidson married a Mr. Harris. They had one daughter, who married Mr. Hays. Some of John Davidson's posterity occupied high places of honor and trust In both State and national gov ernment. It would be an easy task. arrd a pleasant one, to specify by name wno rose to eminence and distinction; but It Is . necessary for fear I make this communication too long. Now to turn my attention to the posterity of Mary Davidson, who married James Price. . They built a home some six or eisht miles from John Davidson's, up the Catawba river near Baker's grave yard, 17 miles northwest of Charlotte. Here they raised three sons and one daughter, viz., John Davidson Price. Thomas Price, Wilflam Price antW Rachel Price. I. D. Price married Jane Eeatty. They raised flVe chil dren, viz., Rachel, married Ezeklel Alexander; Maigaret, married Ephra- 1m Alexander: Mary, married John Potts; Jane, married' John Whitley, and'Keziah married George Little. This branch of the family, Ephralm Alexander married Margaret, lived Ave -miles cast of the Catawba river and two miles west of Huntersville-; Alexander" McCauley Is a gnandson of these parents. Rachel, daughter of Mary and James Price, married John Bell. They lived eight miles north of Hopewell; had one son, John D., and he married Mallssa Alexander; they had several daughters, tho best wo men ln the world; Rachel married Alexander Gibson; Martha married James Goodman; Lamlra married D. H. Fldler; Jennie. Sally and Polly all lived to be old maiden ladles, spent much of their lives nursing the sick of the community. The. entire com munity felt the loss of a dear friend when, these good women, were called home. This Was characteristic of the whole descendants of Mary- Davidson Price. Jane Price, daughter of John David son Price, married John Whitley. These were the parents of the late Robert D. Whitley. John Davidson Price married Jane Beatty and raised five' children, as follows: Polly, Peg gy, James, Rachel, .Margaret. They were hard workers. Fifty years ago they wove a large pa,rt of all the clothes worn by the white people of th community. They wove all the negro clothes, for both summer and winter. In addition to this the spun and wove all their bedding. They had their beds elegaatly dressed with the softest blankets, quilts and coun terpanes. Their table was supplied with the best that could be raised. As for their cooking, they could not bo excelled. Every branch of the family made it a rule to keep six to ten hives of bees, and always had honey for table use. Polly married John Alorn. raised a large family, and when seated at the table they reminded one of a small hotel; but they , are rapidly passing away. For many years I attended this family In all their sickness; they were the best of people. - Peggy married John Bell. They had no children. Miss Rachel made her 'home here. . Margaret married Harrison Goodman, had a son and daughter. Their brother. James Price, with all his sisters,, have pa&se over the river. Keziah Price, daughter of I. D. Price, and Jane Beatty. who mar ried George Little, near Cowan'n Ford, had hosts of trie n clu, served their rt.ty and generation, and have all passed over with the great majority, and It will soon be forgotten that such people ever lived. In the long ago, Isabella Ramsay," who first marred Robert Davidson, had two children. John and Mary. In the course of fifty years; when her second husband died, she came to live with her son. John. XVILUAil FIRTH, Pre. MWMM F : 7. S. COTHBAJf, When she died she was burled in Baker's graveyard; also here was bur led James and Mary Price, with some others of their descendant.

J. B. ALEXANDER. Half IIdrophoby., Philadelphia Public Ledger. . , . "I was down ln a little Southern town the other day." said a commer cial traveler, "where a new system of waterworks had just been Installed. All the drinking water for the town was pumpsd ln from an artesian well on the outskirts of the town. The in habitants were immensely proud of their new water, and at every place stopped I was urged to take a drink of It, being assured at the same time with great impressiveness that It hd been analyzed and found to be half hydrogen.' This mystic expression seemed to have a strange fascination for most of the citizens. "Finally I stopped at the town pump in the middlb of the square ln front of the county court house, and as I worked tho pump handle I thought would find out what an old negro leaning against a tree near by would say. , "'Uncle,' I said, 'Is this good wa ter?'
