Mr. Davis at Home.
E. Polk Johnson, in August ,; Bivoae."
At the door of the mansion a
lady met me with the stately
grace of our Virginia grand-pa
rents, and, after receiving my
letters of introduction, gave a
gentle welcome to Beauvoir, pre
senting me to her voung daugh
ter and another lady of the fam
ily, then going awa' to find her
husband, Mr. Davis not having
yet made his appearance to' his
family. v
After a while, a step was heard
upon the gallery, then an erect,
though aged gentleman, clad in
the neat garb of the old-time
southerner, appeared at the open
doors of the hall, bearing in his
right hand a stout cane and the
inevitable slouched hat, "which
no other man than a southerner
ever did nor ever will know how
to wear. He advanced with that
easv, courtly grace wnicn can.
only be fully understood and ap
preciated by those who have
known the gentlemen of the old
regime Kindly words of wel
come were spoken, and the stran
ger speedily forgot that he had
ever been a stranger. These
greetings over, Mr. Davis turned
to his wife and daughter, whom
he met then for the first time
during the day, saluting each cv:
inquring after their health with
a gentle solicitude entirehr unaf
fected. Then followed rapid in
quiries after the health and wel
fare of old friends in Kentucky,
during which the clear memory
of the man was shown. Calling
them by their baptismal names,
he would ask after the children
of his former friends whom he
bad not seen for years. These
same bovs and girls whose names
he so readily recalled are now
the parents of the gsand children
of those whom Mr. Davis knew
in the years when he was most
familiar with Kentucky. He ap
pears to have a remarkable mem
ory for names. Kelating an in
cident connected with his not
very remote visit- to his birth
place, at Fairview, in Christian
County, Kentucky, he gave a
happy illustration of this faculty
He said at the old-fashioned bar
becue given in his honor during
his, visit, much attention was
shown him bv certain elderly
ladies of the neighborhood which
ha had left when a boy of eight
vears. One lady was especially
attentive ana anxious that no
one of the vians should fail to
reach the guest. As the dinner
progressed, his mind reverted to
his bovhood days, and he recall
ed a sunny-faced little girl whom
he had called his sweetheart at
I the mature age of eight years,
she being, perhaps, a year young
er. So he asked the lad v,-' ' W hat
had become of Patty Bell?" A
blush of gratified pride swept
over the dear old lady's face as
she responded, "Why, Mr. Davis
I am Patty Bell." Not the hon
ors won on the field in Mexico,
tlve civic crown earned in the
Serrate, nor the high duties of a
'proud presidency had driven
from his mind the name of the
Tittle beloved one, though Time

War Pictures.
A Company has been organized in
Cincinnati, under the auspices of the
famous scenic artist of that city, Matt
Morgan, to present a series of accurate
and historic pictures of the. decisive
battles of the late war between the
States.
These great pictures, now approach
ing completion for the Northern Vic
tories, are toheexhibitedthrougpout the
country under the direction of competent
lecturers: well known officers of both
armies. And it is with the same ex
perienced assistance combined with the
data of accepted historical records, and
the abundant valued contributions
from the veterans of both sides, that
the brilliant artist, Matt Morgan the
favorite pupil of the celebrated London
scenic artist, Sfcansfield, places upon
canvas, with wonderful yet truthful
effect, the thrilling scenes of the drama
of the civil war.
To the undersigned has been en
trusted by Mr. Morgan the pleasant
task of gathering together the mate
rials to be used by the artist in delin
eating the victories of the southern
Armies, and he will also superintend
the painting of the same.
These immense pictures will include
among others, the exact representation
of the capture of Fort Sumpter; The
First Manassds; The First Day at
Shiloh; Gained Mill; The Second
Manassas; Sharpsbnrg; Frederickburg;
Chancellorsville; The Second Day at
Gettysburg: Chickamanga; Kennesaw
Mountain, and the Naval B.ittle be
tween the "Virginia" and the "Con
gress"' and "Cumberland."
No Southern victories have ever been
painted upon such a large scale: the
pluck, heroism, and devotion ot the
Southern soldier and officer have never
been represented on canvas.
It is important, however, m this en-
terprize, in order give these repre
sentations a character of personal in
terest to the surviving comrades, and to
those who fondly cherish the memories
of fallen heroes, that there should be
as many as possible of the faces and
forms ot the gallant soldiers engaged
in tae several conflicts, wno can oe
readily recognized." The artist makes
this a special feature in all the battle
scenes he so strikingly and so attrac
tively dehneatest.
Accordingly,. I have the honor to re
quest the surving officers and soldiers
of the late Confederate armies, to semi
to me, at No. 80 Carondelet Street.
New Orleans, until September 1st and
after that date to Matt Morgan s
Art Rooms, Cincinnati, O., their pho
tographs, stating the regiment to
which they belonged, or the position in
which they served in any of the battles
above mentioned, that their portraits
may appear irt the painting.
A photograph taken at the time of
entering the service, appointment, res
ignation or discharge, would be preter
mit because ifc is desired you should
look just as you did in the grand old
days that tried your manhood and
your pluck.
The photograph will be returned as
soon as it is transferred to canvas, un
der Mr. Morgan's supervision.
Tae pictures above mentioned are
especially designed to interest the
Veterans who followed the standards
of the Confederacy; and it should le a
pleasure to the survivors to furnish
these photographs, incidents, etc., to
enable the artist to make a correct and
vivid representation.
The grand paintings of Gettysburg,
Shiloh, Atlanta, and Mission Ridge,
now exhibited in Northern cities, could
never have been painted but for the
zealous aid Of the soldiers of the North.
I appeal to my comrades of theSouth
ern armies to give equal assistance to
the artist in his good work for their
fame. Very Sincerely Yours,

Lieutenant Colonel Artillery, Army of
Northern Virginia, ( Brigr. and Inspec

Dr. Talmage's Views of North Carolina.
A correspondent of the Asheville
Citizen interviewed the Rev. DeWitt
Talmage, who is sojourning in Ashe
ville. He gives his impressions of
North Caroli, from which we take ex
tracts: "I hayje just been taking my regular
"constitutional" as our English friends
would say, and what a charming sec
tion of country you have to stroll over
through lovely valleys, over majestic
mountains near clear rippling streams
and altogether in the midst of pure
oxyginated air which seems to buoy
you up and make you breathe free,
deep and-futl. This is charming and
invigorating climate, and makes one
wish for the garden from which all the
tribes of men have proceeded, especial
ly during these months in which the
earth, in the flush and fairness of a
new vitality, appeals to the finest and
most delicate or our senses.
Progress seems to be the watchword
everywhere in the South, especially so
in your own State. Fill your villages,
towns and cities with laboring looms
and manufactories of all kimjs and
descriptions. And why shouldn't you ?
What advantage over Nortii Carolina
have the sterile vrock-heds of New Eng
land that could not be easily retrieved?
Capital? Massachusetts did not al
ways have it, bait made it inihe .face of
competition. Besides the greatest things
have small beginning neither Man
chester nor Lyons were built in a year.
You, young men, must learn to be
fatient and persevering. Utilize your
ovely French Broad and your eupho
neons Swannanoa, then operatives, and
spindles will not long be silent for
want of hands to make them buzz."
"What do you think of Western
North Carolina so much as you have
already seen."
"The pen of a Longfellow nor the
brush of a Messonnier can do it justice.
Here I sit and watch nature, in all of
her grand formations. Wonderfully
grand and majestic these silent senti
nels of God's own handiwork beauti
ful and charming these fertile valleys
ripe with the golden grain of harvest
time, refreshing and soothing these
mountain streams of pure chrystiline
water wending their way to the ports
of commerce navigation and trade,
restful and passive Skyland with pano
ramas of floating beauty in ever chang
ing cloud, recuperative and health
restoring this oxyginated and balsamic
air fresh and uncontaminated giving
new zest to life and building up worn
out tissues of the human frame.''
"Are you favorably impressed with
this place the metropolis of the sky
as a place of resort for the invalid and
the health-seeker?"
"It is indeed a garden of recupera
tion. All the conditions seem favora
ble. If there is any one who is so
constituted so that enjoyment can be
had in life and can't find it here, rest
assured such a person will not be able
to find enjoyment in Heaven when he
gets there. What more can one ask
for than heafhful climate, pure air,
good water, unsurpassed scenery and
congenial peoptev estern North Caro
lina to-day offers more solid comfort,
hope and happiness to the invalid and
health-seeker than the whole Materia
Medka from the time of Escalapis
down to the present time."
"You think then, Doctor, that we
have a region here especially adapted
to persons in quest of health, besides a
countrv offering inducements to the
pleasure seeker and the tourist.
"Un questionably, and there is, no
reason why in winter the people of the
Northern States should not nock here
to inhale the pure mountain air and es
cape the rigid winters of our section
and on the other hand the people of
your low-lands from the States espe
cially of Georgia and Florida, and in
fact throughout the whole territory of
the South should come herein the
summer to recuperate in order to pre
pare for the duties of life devolving
upon tnem.
As the lowlaf?ds in winter are con
ducive to man's well being in a certain
measure, so also are Nature's elevations
restful to man in the noonday heat of
a tropical sun. The one place we labor
and strive for the goods of this life, the
other we rest in passive longings for
the ideal and regain in health,
without which life indeed, would be a
bore and a torment."
"You will remain with us for some
time I presume doctor. Will you not?"
"Yes, I shall be here during the
whole summer. I find that I become
more and more in love with the place
as the days slip by. Everything is so
conducive to happiness here. 1 find
that mv life here is one of complete
rest, an outing of intellectual enjoy
ment free from heat, free from the
cares of busy life communing with Na
ture in all of her lovely forms which
seems to speak in prophetic words of
the love of a great, blessed and benefi
cent Creator."
Clubs are Excepted.
New York Times.
Raleigh, N. C, July 25. A new and
important question has been raised un
der the local option law since liquor
was voted out of Raleigh Township.
The law makes it unlawful to sell
liquor until the result of said elections
has been reversed by an election.
There is a corporation in this township
known as the "Capital Clu V and,
among other thingsnncidentaj to the
main social purposes, the said club fur
nishes refreshments to its members
such as liquor, wine, lwer, cigars, and
meals, for their convenience and ac
commodation, at a price fixed by the
House Committee, intended to be just
sufficient to cover the cost of the same,
it not being the object to make a pro
fit'upon the article so furnished. The
steward of the club was indicted, and
upon a special verdict embodying these
facts the Superior Court, Judge Phil
lips presiding, adjudged the steward not
guilty upon the ground that there was
no sale in contemplation of law. It is
contended by the State that there is no
exception in the local option law, and
that any disposal of liquor for money
without profit is a violation of the law.
All the cases quoted in support of the
position taken by the club were on in
dictments for retailing liquor without
licence. When Chief Justice Waite
was here in June last he gave it as his
opinion that the club had a right to
let its members have liquor as stated,
and did not violate the local option lav.
hiso doing. The case was appealed by
the State and will be decided by the
Supreme' Court at the October term
next.

Industrial School.
Raleigh has been selected as the loca
tion for the industrial school to be es
tablished by the State of North Caro
lina. The decision of the board to put
this school into operation without ny
further delay is a very wise step. The
South needs industrial schools, and
every one that is established adds to
the prosperity of its people. With the
rapid development of industrial inter
ests there is an increasing demand for
young men of good technical educa
tion. Unless the South makes provi
sion for preparing her own people for
such work, the demand must be sup
plied from other sections. The full
importance of preparing the rising
generation for the thousands of open
ings for profitable employment that the
industrial development of the South is
making, ought to be fully impressed
upon the business men of that sec
tion. The young men of the South
have a wide field of employment open
ing Before them, but training is needed
to enable them to fill .the most respon
sible positions, or else they will ouly be
"hewers of wood and drawers of water,"
while others reap the benefits of thor
ough technical education. Baltimore

Reflections From tthe ' Wilson

Enthusiasm is the blossom of which
all true greatness is the fruit imagi
nation the germ of all glorious deeds;
and few were distinguished for high
practical greatness who could not refer
to a childhood of enthusiasm. It is the
romance of the boy that becomes the
heroism of the man.
Marriage is the golden vestibule to
the grand and magnificent temple of
the purest and sweetest comfort and
happiness thatearth contains, and re
ciprocal love is the organ, divinely
tuned and heavenly toned, and from
which float out in streams of delicious
rapture the grandest harmonies and
most thrilling symphonies of human
existence.
The man who can make one person
drown a spell of the blues beneath the
radiant waves of merriment, or change
one growl of despair into a boisterous,
billowy flow of laughter and hilarity is
a blessing to any community. Yes the
man who can make a gleam of joy rip
ple o'er the wrinkles of care, and paint
one star of cheer in the sky of gloom
is to be appreciated, for humor is that
bland philosophy of life, which knits up
the tangled threads of trials, smoothes
over the asperities of trouble, and sweet
ens the acerbities of bitterest natures
It is that radiant silver thread with
which the sombre fabric of every day
occurrences are beautifully embroider
ed with those brilliant stitches of the
mind rpwhieh are always pleasing and
refreshing.

lesson of wrong tendencies to the young
mind!
A contented heart is better than a
full purse, for the one feels sunshine
in everything, 'and hears a song of joy
in every ripple of life's delightful cur

A little cramped up heart can not

A rank and foul-laden weed cannot
emit sweet fragrance.
A head properly constituted can ac

Plain Words from Brother Watterson.
Louisville Courier Journal.
The average Englishman is a snob.
From the duke to the costermonger,
each order in this vast series of social
strata licks the foot of the order above
it. The English male is a selfish bullv.
The English woman is a slave. The

sham. But. while the purse holds out,
it is resplendent indeed. The bully in
the men makes good soldiers. The
power of England is undeniable. The
slave in the woman, when she does not
elope, makes excellent housewifery.

respectable and orderly. But the

not like it, as I do not, I can lump it.

A Saw ..without Teeth.
A saw without teeth, that will cut
a steel rail in two minutes is in opera
tion at the Central Hudson shops in
Green bush, N. Y. The saw is run by
a ninety horse power engine, more
power than is required! to run all the
other machinery in the shops, and is
38 inches in diameter and three-eights
of an inch thick at the edge. The
disk is made of Bessemer steel, and
runs at a high rate ot speed. While
in operation a band of fire encircles
he saw, and the many sparks tlymg
rom the revolving disk resembles a
display of pyrotechnics. To keep the
saw cool and prevent it trom cracking,
a tank of water is placed above the
machine, from which a small stream
runs down and drops on the saw while
in motion. By this plan one saw will
cut nearly 3.C00 rails before it is worn
out. A steel rail, after about six years'
constant use becomes battered -at the
ends, and by cutting them off the rails
can be used in branch and switch
tracks. Kails are cut by this machine
for the whole line of the Central Hud
son railroad. The saw. while cutting,
ears down hard on the rail, the end of
which is left as smooth as the bottom
of a flat-iron. One remarkable thing
about the machine is that the chips
cut from the rail fly back under the
saw with such force as to form a solid
piece of steel nearly as firm as the rail
itself. Scientific A merican.
A Zoni Priestess mWashinjton.
Washington Correspondence Cincioatti Com
mercial.
TheTrincess Weli-Weh of the Zuni
tribe, who has made such a hit here in
Washington societv, was out on the
avenue yesterday alone. She made
quite a sensation. She was in full Zuni
dress. Her head was bare, with the
exception of a few ornaments twisted
in her long, straight black hair. A
blue blanket, beaded and ornamented,
formed the main garment of her dress.
Hervhite moccasins and enormous
anklets played in and out from under
this blue blanket dress with an easy,
loping stride, which could not be
imitated bv any woman in high-heeled
shoes. She completed her out-door
attire with a fiery red satin umbrella,
which she curried close down over her
head, as delighted vvitii iis brilliant color
as a child. She had not walked down
the avenue when it began to rain. The
Princess showed that she was prudent
in the use of her civilized finery; the
red umbrella was shut up with a snap
and stowed away somewhere in the
folds of the blue blanket dress, while
from another hidden pocket she drew
forth a black cotton umbrella, which
she hoisted in place of the red one, aud
resumed her swinging walk with her
usual stolid composure. The Princess
has a perfect passion for shopping.
Eyery piece of money that she gets it
is at once expended. It is the delight
of her life to get away from the people
with whom she is stopping to go for a
several hours' tour of the stores. Al
though she is a priestess at home, one
of a band of six who have taken vows
of celibacy, yet she is as fond of bright
articles of adornment as the most finical
of societv dames.
The Mania For Dosing.
Boston Herald.
It is about time to organize a move
ment for preventing the intemperate
use of "temperance drinks." The
manner in which mineral waters, acid
phosphate, "nerve food" and '"lactart"
are swallowed at all hours of the day
and by all sorts of men, with no rea
knowledge of their nature or effects, is
quite as astonishing, and in many cases,
no doubt, almost as pernicious, as the
habit which it in a measure -supersedes
the taking of the matjnal cocktail,
the mid-day beer and the postprandial
wine or spirits. Much of this guzzling
is due to the mania for dosing, which
is almost a national characteristic. If,
owing to improper eating or any othei
cause, a man "doesn't feel jnit right,'"
the first thin hp does is to take a drink
of something, hit or miss, w hite if he
"feels bad.'" a do?o of patent, medicine

To be guilty of bearing false testimony,

The facts which I disclose are endorsed
and vouched lor by the community in" which
I live, and I trust they may exert the influ
ence intended.
For twenty tong years I have suffered
untold tortuns from a terrible pain and
weakness in the small of ray Luck, which
resisted fill modes and manner of treat
ment. For a lou lime the horrifying pangs of
an etiuy cancer of my lower lip has adder
to my misery and suffering. Thin encroach -in-r,
burning and painful sore on my lip wa
pronounced Epithelial Cancer by the prom
inent physicians in the section, which
stubbornly resisted the best medienl talent.
About eighteen ononthsago a cutting,
piercing pain located in my breast, which
could not be allayed by the ordinary modes
of treatment,
These suliei ings of misery and prostra
tion became so great that, on the 18th of
July, a leading physician said that I could
not live longer than four (fays, and I had
about given up in dispair. The burning
and excruciating ravages of the ennccr, tho
painful condition ot my back and breast,
and the moid prostration of my whole
system combined to make me a mere wreck
ofdbrmer manhood.
While thus seemingly spspended on a
thread bet ween life and death, I commenced
the use o.f B.H.B., the grandest blood tned
icine. to me and my househobl, ever used.
The effect w as w onderful it was magic-
al. - The excruciating pains which had
tormented me by day and by night for
twenty years were soon held in obeyance,, '
and pence and comfort were restored to a
suffering nian, the cancer commenced heal
ing, strength was imparted? to nry feeble
frame, and when eisfhL. bottles had been
used I was of the happiest of man, and felt
alxtut a? well as I ever did.
All pain had vanished, the cancer on my
lip healed, and I was pronounced cured.
To those who are afflicted, and need a
blood remedy, I orae the use of B.B.B. as
a wonderfully effective, speedy and cheap
blood pun tier. ALLKH (Irast.

often saw Mr. Alle-n Grant when suffering
from epithelioma, and Irom the extent of
the cancer thought he would soon die. He
now appears perfectly well, and I consider
it a most wonderful cure.
