Describes Some Scenes L'n pleasant negg " - One pleasant morning we wero ing ab mt war war with En-lau'i, war with Spain and as is rmual with oil soldiers, our conversation drifted bacjk to our late civil war. Wo oall it late, JI reckon, because it is the last war Wo had, but it is not so very late. Almost everybody down south who Was en gaged in it is dead. A generation dit?3 out in thirty years and it has been thirty-five years sinoe that war besron Bat there aro a few of us left and w.' were talking about the war Ike uc used to talk around the' camp ffree,iad I was asked what scene or battle or event had left its most vivid impression upon my mind and memory. ;I knew very well, but I can go back to scenes a,ld evento tnat have lasted longer flfnd been more peraonau 1 Temeitiper when I had a fight at camp meeting on bunday and got whipped bjr a country bay and my Sunday clothes were all torn and muddied and my father whipped me that night and Hi" teacher got ready to whip me tho next mnrninsr and I showed him th red whelps on my legs and he h-t in- oil with a Uaivinistio lecmrc on tne sin of breaking the Sabbath day Wei), the way of it was, I bad got up ou the bub of a watermelon wagon to look at the tempting fruit and the country boy palled my fool off so as to get my place and I bounced -imn, hut hn was hisrtresr and strnnirer ;nn.! had country boys to sick him pn sud they did n t like my ruffled tofn shin and he got me down and nobody wouldn't part us and I got the worst of it and my Sunday clothes were! alt soiled and my face scratched and I had no friends and it grieved me for i a month that I had been imposed; on and whipped besides. I watched for that boy to come to town and at : last he did come. I spied him on the other side of the square and I got ; George Lester to back me and I everlastingly; licked him and my father never knew anything about it, but I told my moth er that I had licked Tom Fountain and she hugged me and kissed me and told me that it was wrong to fight, - but somehow or other I knew she was glad that I had whipped him. I rem. in i. r yet how the big tears came : in my mother's eyes when she palled up 'my pants and saw the marks on my legs that my father had made and I laid my head in her lap and oried. Weil, you seo that was a wat ftvb K- ger war than I ever found afterward and has left a deeper impression. J j .j. But about the late war I said thai the roost vivid and lasting impression hi my mind was the midnight scene of our army crossing the Shenandoah by torchlight, when we were going from Winchester to fight the first battle of Manassas. I stood on the bank land saw 17,000 men ford that river. The water was about breast deep to most of the soldiers and thev held their guns and cartridges up high and it strained the little fellows like McOpkcr and Jim Smith and Zach Hargrove powerfully tokeep their footing and the water out of their mouths and not wet their ammunition. It was the 17th day of July, 1861, and next morn ing the boys all laid down on the .hill side near Paris and went to sleep in their wet clothes and by noon retained the march to Manassas. They 1 had had a good wetting, if not a good washing. The army left Wpcher just at twilight. Not a drum ; was beard not a camp fire put ouM-not au alarm of any pert. "They folded their tents like the Arabs and silently stole away." The enemy was left: at! Martinaburg preparing for tomorrow's battle and they never knew whee we were until after the battle of Manaseas had been fought and won. It waf Old Joe Johnston's first military strategy. But the crossing of that river was the most historic and graphic -tcene thai I bad witnessed and brought vividly be fore me a picture I had seen when a boy of Bonaparte crossing the Rhino. It was a wild, weird sight and t -bad never seen so many men at oUce in jilt my life. It seemed to mo there Wejre enough to whip all creation and bjey were eager to do it. Another one of our . party said, "Well, I was in that eame battle n ml saw the killed and wounded all round me, but it was not till next day tht I came to myself and had to command a squad that was detailed to dig the trenches and bury the dead. ; I shall never forget the field where the pew York Zouaves lay dead, nor how thick they were upon the ground, fhey were dressed like Turks and had on turbans and wide, loose pants - and gaiters. They were large men to start on, and during the night had swollen up and their faces turned almost black, it took about four of us to roll one iqto the ditch. Their faces were distorted, their clothing bloody, and T oNer realized the horrors of war until t hci. We di ent give them a fuM length apiece, but put the head of one betwe. n the feet of other and covered thorn about eighteen inch deep." "The most horrid sight I ever saw, " said another comrade, "was toe battle field at Malvern Hill. Minie balls don't mangle up the boys like shell and canister. Oar boys were, awfully torn up on the last day's fight by the shot and shell from the gunboats. The next morning after the fight I walked over the field, and there was hardly a complete man to be found among the dead. - Legs aud arms and hands and feet were seen scattered in all kinds of mutilated shapes and fragments. I saw one headless soldier Sitting up right, his back against a tree, his rifle clutched in ricid finserR. the mufet!e on the ground, and not a sign of a head on his shoulders. A shell had torn it sway and left a clean out, and the blood from his neok veins and ar teries was still oozing down on his clothes. I believe that the bat tie of Malvern Hill was the worst .on our boys of any that occurred during the war. It was a pity that we fought it, for MrnllAllan wu n Mm 1 1H whipped, and we couldn't more. " "It was not long after that." another, "when I saw the most sick ening sight that my eyes witnessed daring the war. You remember that of tta Joe Johnston was wonnded at the bat tle of Seven Pines or at Fair Oaks, as the yankees called it. Well, the dead were buried very hastily, and in ahal lower trenches than I ever saw. It bad been raining for some time and the water rose in the trenohes before we could get them two feet deep and we had to tumble the boys in Anyhow. About a month after that oar wagon trains had to cross that field, not in one road, bat in a dozen, and every where we crossed those trenches the .pressure of the wheels would force np a leg or an arm or s head, and yon could see scores of them sticking oat after we had passed. It was an awful sight." "Well, I don't know what was the most impressive thing," said another. "The scene in a field hospital after a battle was about as bad as anything. I h:dl never forget the night scene un derthe willows after the first battle of Manassas, when Dr. Miller was in Charge and worked on the wounded boys all night long. It was close by a little branch and reminded me more a a at 1 A 1 1 a : a nog atiling at Dome aoouc unriat urtH times than anything else. I watch ed him cat off arms and legs and probe i t balls until 1 was Bick and hail to lun away, and every time he got through with one man he would look nr uud for 'another and say 'Next I' jut like a barber. What was wonder fai t me was the courage with which those wounded boys endured the pain of the knife and saw. There was no el her or other anesthetic uted, but they n ver uttered a groan." The roost pleasant memory I have nf ihe war is of seeing Stonewall Jack s'Vi asleep. I never saw him awakp. O.i the morning of the sixth day's fight hrf f Hichmond I left that city about dAyltitht witn some official document that hod to be delivered to General Lee wit boat delay. I rode hard for twiddle miles to his camp, near Meadow br-d.ro. He and his staff were at br ak ast nuder cover of a large rquare tent. The adjutant left the ta ble and came to me before I bad time to dismount. As be read the papers I saw a man lying down on tue straw in the tent and one end of tb'e breakfast camp table was over bis bead and shoulders. He was lying ou bis left side, bis right hand was on his sword and bis uniform was faded and soiled. A slouched hat was Over his face and ev idently he was asleep, while' General Lro and bis staff were hastily taking their morning meal. My curiosity was greatly excited and I sii l to the adjutant : " Who is that man?" s "Stbuewall Jackson," he replied. "He came in about daylight and pret ty soon tumbled down and fell asleep. He is very much exhausted and Gene ml Lee would not let him be disturbed aud had the table. set over bim. Won't you alight?" I said no, and thanked him. As I rode away I looked back at the picture. I would give anything for a photograph or a sketch of that scene. It was the only time I ever saw the blue light elder whose name and deeds are- known all over the world. No wonder the poet, Palmer, was inspired to write of him st the battle of Antietam : "We see him -now the queer slouched hat co-jkod o'jr his eve askew The Bbrwd, dry entile, the speech so pat, to calm, eo blnut, so true, The blue light der kuow3 'em well; Sya lie, " Chat's Bini!'he a fond of shell ; Lr I save his soul we ll give him'-well, Tuat'i S onewatl Jackson's Way.

That kq-s in Ston wiTs way " Another one of our party told of an event nt Centerville in 1862, when two New Orleans Tigers of Wheat's bat talion resisted an officer who was try ing to arrest them for leaving camp one night aud abusing a farmer's fam ily. They knocked tho lieutenant down and when finally subdued were tried by conrtmartial that afternoon and shot next morning at sunrise. I'Aud here is Dnrrant," he said, "who murdered that poor girl in the belfry, and that scoundrel Jackson, who mur dered Pearl Bryan, and that fellow Holm's, who killed half a dozen wo men and cbi'dren, can get their cases put off and put off for months and years and perhaps escape at last. And that is what is the matter with the p. ople and why s many of these .lynching; take place all over the coun try. 'There is really no just or over powering reason for the wide differ enco between martial law and civil law. One may be too swift, but the other is certainly too slow and too uncertain. Th -se Tigers hardly had time to write home aud say their prayers martial law is almost as swift as lynching; the evidence no better and the death pen alty is for ctimes.less brutal and out rageous. Frank Davis was hung at Puhti-ki, Tenn., during tho war hung as a spy because he would hot betray the union soldier who gave hiui the information.

They are raising money now to build a monument to bim and Mr. Thomas, of the Nashville, Chattanooga nud St. Louis railroad, put down $50. That's the kind of a man he is.

A Synopsis of the Proceedings of Both Houses. - THE SENATE. WEDNESDAY. On Wednesday in the Senate a short de bate was had upon a joint resolution direct ing the Secretary of the Interior to execute-; tne law for opening to settlement some two million acres of land in the eastern part nf Utah which have been part of the Uncom- pabgre Indian reservation. A message was received from the i resi-: dent. The Dnpont election case was then taken up and Mr. Thurston addressed the body in support of Mr. Dopont's claim. After passing numerous bills to which there was no objection the Senate adjourned. THURSDAY. The Cuban debate Was continued in the Senate on Thursday. No action was taken. No other business was transacted. -. FRIDAY. In-the Senate on Friday the discussion of the Cuban resolutions war continued, but ilual actjon was hot taken. The chairman ot the committee on privi leges and elections mad" ft favorable report on the joint resolution lor the election of United States Senators' by the people. The following Senate bills Were taken from the calendar and passed : Senate bill for the relief ot settlers upon lauds within the indemnity limits of them nut to tho New Orleans Pacific Hallway Com pany. "5 TO approve and ratify the Cf nafcruction of railroad bridges across Coddb Lake9, at Moor ings Point, La., and across th bed river, near FultfB, Ark.

Appropriating 125.000 for the monument in Baltimore to the memory of General Wm. Smallwood, and the soldiers of the Maryland Line In the war for American independence. Also Senate bill to pay Holmes & Leath- j ers, contractors on mail routes in Mississippi : f 12,910, for transportation of the mails in April a d May 1861. Mr. Morgan introduced a joint resolution us to Cuba in these words : Resolved, That It is hereby declared that a state of public war exists in the Island of Cuba, between the government of Spain and the people of that island who are supporting a sopor ate government under the name of Republic of Cuba; and a state of belligerency between said governments is hereby recog nized The legislative, executive and judicial ap propriation bill was reported from the ap propriations committee by Mr. Oullom, who gavenotice that he would ask the Senate to take it up for consideration next Monday. The Senate adjourned until Monday. MOKniY. , The Cuban resolutions took the usual course Monday in the SenntA. That is, the conference report was disagreed to, and the Senate insisted on its disagreement to the House substitute for th Senate resolutions and asked for a further conference. The same conferees on the part of the Senate were re-appointed, Sherman, Morgan and Lodge. This disposition of the question does not, however, remove it entirely from the continued consideration of the Senate; for two resolutions were introduced which will keep the matter alive, independently of the actiou of the conference committee. The executive, legislative and judical ap propriation bill was taken up and considered for upwards of two hours some 30 out of 135 pages being disposed of. TUESDAY. The Cuban resolutions were discussed in the Senate on Tuesday. Senator Mills, of Texas, made an eloquent speech in support of Cuban Independence. The remainder of the day was given up to the consideration of the executive, legislative and judicial ap propriation bill, bnt no final disposition was made of it. THE HOUSE. WEDNESDAY In the Houso on Wednesday the resolu tions censuring Ambassador Bayard were discussed at length, but no disposition was made of them. No other business was trans acted. ' THCESDAY. In the House ThurodaWtce .wsoluttons ot censure of Ambassador Biyard were discuss ed, but a vote was not reached. Resolutions were reported declaring the seat occupied by Mr. Boatner, of Louisiana? vacant FBIDAY. In the House on Friday the resolutions censuring Ambassador Bayard were adopted by a vote of 191 to 59 The report of the elections committee de claring vacant the seat occupied by Mr. Chas. J. Bontner. of Louisiana, was adopted by a strict party vote. The House adjourned until Monday. MONDAY. The 8peaker laid before the House Monday a communication from Seeretay Lamont, sub mitting a letter from the president of the iti : 1 . t ....... ; ... ..,.-,;. fhu caving in of the west bank of the Mississippi I pier 4 in Helena, Ark The damage already done is serious enough to excite alarm for the Safety of valuable public and private in terests and it is recommended that 75,000 be made immediately available to construct the necessary protecting Work--. In the morning hour bills wore passed au thorizing the construction of various bridges, authorizing the leasing of school lands in Arizona, exempting logging trains from the law requiring pateut couplers and air brakes. TUESDAY. The unfinished business when the House met Tuesday was the bill introduced by Mr. Curtis, of New York, to reduce the number of crimes subject to capital punishment, and it was passed. The House agreed to the -Serate request for a further conference on the Cuban reso lutions . Mr. Boubdle, chairman of the committe" on naval affairs, reported the naval appro priation bill for the years 1896-"7, it was or dered printed. It carries an appropriation of $31,779,13. of which 12,611.034 is for the increase Of the navy. THE RESOLUTION FALLS FLAT Unlikely That the President or Am bassador Bayard Will Take Any Notice of the House's Action. Secretary Oiney and State Department officials decline to converse as to the prob able outcome of the passage of the resolu tions censuring Ambassador Bayard except -to say that Mr. Bayard Twill not le officially informed by tho Department tbat thebkscJuti.ns were adopted. In re gard to Mr. Bayard's reported tender of bis resignation conditioned on the adoption of the resolutions of censure, it is stated that Mr. Bayard intended taking the aetion indi cated but tbat he never fnlly carried out the idea by placing bis resignn'tion in the bauds of the President. The bLth respect and great personal friendship which Mr. 1 leve land entertains for his ambassador to the Court of St. James, will stand as a bar, it is said, to allowing Mr. Bayard to be placed in the embarrassing situation of being practi cally forced out of office. If the resolutions had not b en adopted by a vote so elosrly allied to party lines, it is likeiv that ifr Bayard would have considered serious! v the expediency of tendering his resignation but the fact that five Republicans were vrvau ,v lUU tUSUir, WUUO OUiy SW T. . 11 . ' . . iwsuutrauo votes were east in its favor, is considered among friends of Mr. Bayard to be as additional reasou why both tie and the "resident should ignore the entire incident The English Government Has to Amend the Blue Book. A document amending the Blue Book on the Venezuelan matter recently issued by the English government is about ready. Tne document will contain no new facts, the alteration which it makes being mainlv clerical. It will point out, however, that alleged discrepancies have been looked into and certain omissions supplied. The state ment that Great Britain had reduced the Yuruan claim to 1.000 pounds and that Vene zuela had agreed to the reduction is con firmed. In regard to the negotiations touching the arbitration of the Venezuelan dispute, tho Foreign Office states tbat the exchange of communications between the Foreign Office and the American Department ot State is being conducted with extreme caution on both sides, but that the negotiations are .F.-.iuuoinrf fdwArshlv LftVWVUiUg ACS TV l aa 1NMAK ON COTTON. i . He Looks for a Still Further Advance. Referring to the recent activity and strong advance in cotton Mr. John H. Inman, of New York, expressed his views as follows: "On October 16th, just five months ago, March cotton sold in this market at 9 50. From that time there has been practically a continuous decline until March 5th, when contracts sold at 7.20 a decline of 2 V cents. "My estimate of the crop is the same today as it was five months ago When cotton sold at 9 50; that is 6,900,000 bales. The above decline brought our market much below European parity and led to large purchases of contracts in New York against sales to Europe. My experience is that aftera steady decline of so long a time an upward move if ot is inevitable, a movement which will most likely recover half of the 2 cents decline, aud therefore carry us back to to 8K cents before the cotton season is over. "With the rapidly declining stocks and the fact that it is five and a half1 m nths before new cottoi-, it occurs to me that the persist ant sellers short of August may get into a very Uncomfortable position before tho sea sea is over. Unless prices ad vance matt ri.t 11 y I do not see how N?w York can avoid having a very sin alb stock by August 1st, say not over 50,000 bales. 'Trade in America is very bad, peihaps worse than at any time for thirty years, but against this, trade in Europe is good, and Liverpool aud the continent will take a lacge amount of cotton at the cbear-est price ey can get it, but will, in my judgment, pay 6 to 83 cents, if necessary. "Almost every cross road followed in the South is short of the crop, and therefore, to my mind, the extensive preparations and increased acreage and prospects of the new crop are greatly exaggerated. At any rate, it is the season that makes the crop and not the acreage." 'COMMISSION HAS NOV DltCltED. Tliey Are sot Yet Even Able to Give Individual Opinions. Secretary Malet-Prevost, for the Venezu elan commission, has issued the following statement: During the past week reports have been industriously circulated to the effect that the commission has reached a de elsion With reference to the boundary ques tion favorable to Venezuela. This having been denied, the report has been circulated in another form and it is now nsserted tbat While the commission, as a body, has report ed no such conclusion, the commissioners individually entertain the views referred to. "It must be evident to all that so long as anythiug remains to be examined and consid ered, the commissioners are not in a position to form an Opinion respecting the merits of the controversy. As a matter of fact, neither the immission nor the individual commis sioners areas yet iu possession of all the evi denc j The papers presented by Venezuela are it a part of what has been promised. The Jlue Book of the British government, while remarkably full and detailed, does not include all the documents which may be ad duced in snpport of its contentions. The commission has not and will not limit itself to the consideration of what those two gov ernments may present; it has been 0 gagf d Upon Independent iines of inquiry and will contiuue to follow those lines until all its sources of Information shall have been ex hausted. Then, and not (ill then, will it be in a position to form any --'liuion or to make any report" V H E E LS O P PHOC. K ESS. Report of Eleven Cotton Mills tor the Past Week in the South.

MINT OFFICIALS IN TKOl'BLK. The New Orleans Crew Accused, of In- efllciency untl Neglect. There are serious charges pending against United States Mint officials in Now Orleans of inefficiency and neglect of duty. These charges are contained in a report of Mr. Cabell Whitehead, of tho Mint Bureau at Washington, who recently made an examina tion of the mint at New Orleans. His rcpoi t has been referred liy Mint Director Prt ntoa to Secretary Carlisle, who will, no douM.take an early opportunity of laying the sumo be fore tho President, as tho superintendent, inciter and relluer. coiner and assayer, are all presidential appointments. A copy f the report was sent to Superintendent Cade, some days slnce.who was authorized to show the same to the other officers of the mint, and his attention was particularly called to the law and regulations governing the at tendance of officers and other employes. The New Orleans mint was closed last No yember bnt opened again for silver coinage on February 1st, last. Iowa's Anti-Cigarette Law. The Iowa Legislature has passed 4m anti cigarette bill. It absolutely prohibits the sale of cigarettes under any pretext to any person, but: allows sale at wholesale for ship ment out o! the 8tate. It is claimed by some lawyers that the bill is unconstitutional be cause tobaono has been held to b a legiti mate article of commerce and the State can not interfere with traffic in it between the States. Cigarettes will now be sold in orig inal packages, as liquor was. in ounce bottles before the Wilson hill made it subject to po lice regulations of the State. Congrees would not ee likely to help the State out in this way in its crusade against the cigarette, it is argued, The friends of the bill claim the Supreme Court decision does not apply to this case, because cigarettes are wholly bad and have no good use.

FOE OOraTRYM SAKE. AW INDIAN MKIITEK SUFTKKS AG ONIKB W.tO tf DISK ASE. He Was in the Battle With the When Gmronimo Wm Captured. From the Prrss, Acts Turk City. Worn with the ext osureot arorrv life on the frontier, and poisoned by the continual drinking of alkali water, Joseph Flegauf re turned to Philadelphia eight years ago, broken down in health and uaable to do any work. He had served five years with the Ninth TJni'.cd States infantry in many a despente fight with the Indians iu Arizona and other frontier States, and had won an enviable record. In the fierce conflict when Oerosr imo, the famous chief of the Apaches was c ipture 3, Mr. Flegauf was among the brave soldiers who, forgetful of everything but dntv, charged upon the hostile Indians. Life on the plains' sent to an untimely death many soldiers who were never touched by a redskin's bullet or arrow, and Mr. Fle gauf came near such a fate as that. A long time before his time was out he was taken B-'riou-iy ill, but he stuck to his post until an honorable disohargo was finally given to bim. When he reacheifPhilalelrmta the Indian fighter was scarcely more than skin and bones, and for three weeks he lay desperate ly ill in a hospital. He felt dizzy, aud his stomach felt as if it had dried up. . These symptoms were 'accompanied by bloody dysentery, which no medicine seemed to re lieve. Tt After two yeafrs of suffering Mr. Flegauf came to New York and was treated by sev eral physicians. These did sot agree, some calling his disease catarrh of the stomach, and others chronic diarrhoea. In speaking to a reporter about his illness Mr. Flegauf said the doctors helped him, but, with all the monev he spent for advice and medicine, be was able to Work only a small part of the time. Since moving to his pres ent home4 No. 51? West Forty-second Street, in New York, about a year ago. Mr. F.egauf b is been so ill that his voice and hearing al most left him. Then all medicines failed, and the sick man had little hope of recovery. At this critical time Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People were recommended to Mr. Fle gauf, and, almost as a last hope(he began taking them. "The beneficial effect of the medicine was felt at once," Mr. Flegauf told the reporter,- 'and before I had taken a box 1 began to eat With relish. Three.boxes made me so much better that I began work and have been able to keep at it since, for five months." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are not a patent medicine in the sense that name implies. They were first compounded as a prescription and used as fuch in gen eral practice by an eminent physician. 80 great was their efficacy that it was deemed wise to place them within the reach of all. They are now manufactured by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, S3aenectady, N. Y. and are sold in boxes rnever in loose form by the dozen or hundred, and the pub lic are cautioned against numerous imita tions sold in this shape) at 80 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50, aud may be had of nil drugirists. or direct by mail from Dr. Will iams' Medicine Company.
