A BIO FAMILY, WHOSE HISTORY EN GAGES HIS ATTENTION. An Old Family Bible A Remarkable Story of Family Life Told by the Backwoods Philosopher. "Princes and lords may flourish or may fade, A breath can make them as a breath has made, But a bold peasantry our country's pride. When once destroyed can never be supplied," I thought of this at Warren, for there stood before us 100 unpretend ing honest people all from one fami ly. The fair had offered a premium of a large and beautiful family Bible to the head of the largest family that assembled upon the grounds. Mr.. Benjamin -H. Parnell and his good wife were there with ninety -eight liv ing descendants. Did you ever see 100 people in a flock ? Just think of a military company of eighty men and you can imagine what a show ioo people will make. It was a rare and novel spectacle. The old patri arch was a clean-shaven, active, erect man, with a ruddy, honest face, and his wife a modest, well-preserved woman, who looked as though she would rather be at home, and had doubts about the propriety of exhibi ting herself to the curious gaze of so many wondering people. She was a good looking matron without the usual signs of decay. Her hair was silvered over, but there were no wrinkles or crow's feet or sunken cheeks. She had her husband's arm in the good old way, and it was with a timid shyness that she occasionally raised her eyes to look upon the speaker who was introducing her and her offsprings to the multitude. The good Dr. Martin said : "My friends, here are a man and woman who are the heads of a family of ninety -eight living descendats. Seven girls and six boys were born to them, and there has never been a deJrh under their roof. Their children are all hap pily married. This couple have liv ed together in loving and peaceful relations for forty-seven years. They and their children have given the public no trouble. They have been diligent in business and eaten honest bread. Young men, we commend to you their good example. Go thou and do likewise, and let us abolish the immigration bureau." The Bible was made to order, and had plenty of blank leaves to register the names and marriages and deaths in their order. It was a remarkable scene, borne ot tne motners ana fathers had infants in their arms, and all had children eathered around them in separate flocks, and all were dressed in clean and comfortable clothes. It was a pleasure to me to be introduced to them, and, of course I had to quote some scripture and tell what David said : "Children are an heritage of the Lord As arrows in the hand of a mighty man so are children ol the youth. Happv is the man who hath his quiver full, They shall not be ashamed, but shall speak with- enemies in the gate. That is, they shall be the ambas sadors to make treaties for peace. A man with numerous children and grandchildren has more at stake and feels more concern for good govern ment. He ought to be the man to speak with the enemy. If I see another war impending live to I shall speak a little myself. And I recited David's prayer, "That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth. And our daughters be as corner stones polish ed after the similitude of a palace. "That our garners may be lull and our oxen strong, and there be no complaining in our streets. "Happy is that people that is in such a case. Yea, happy is that peo ple whose God is the Lord." That is splendid isn't it ? Well, I had a pleasant talk with the old gentleman. He is quickof apprehension and said : "You may put down that there is nothing against me or my people. None of us have ever been accused of anything wrong or brought into court. Me and my wife have ftelonged to the Baptist church for nigh onto fifty years, and I have voted the Democratic ticket all that time. I moved here before there was any railroad in this country and the people were powerfully scat tering. I have made a good, fair living and am doing: it yet. The Lord has been good to us and bless ed us. Not a coffin has ever been brought to my house." There is a record ot good citizen ship. No iails or courthouses for that family. They have served on the jury and worked the public roads, and been kind to their nabors and have stood by their State and coun try. Their industry has earned something for- other people to live upon every year. They have added to values and besides have set a good example. I forgot to ask that good mother how many pairs of socks and stockings she had knit in the years gone by ; how many quilts and cover lets she and her girls had made. She ought to have a pension and be allow ed to rest the remainder of her life But no she wouldn't rest I have seen it tried. I wouldn't change their habits northeir religion nor their poli tics if I could. Some of these days there will be a death two deaths under that roof, but their good exam ple will not die. It never dies. And while I ruminated about this family another verse of poetry came to my memory that fits them : "Far from the madding crowd's igno ble strife, Their sober wishes never learned to stray Along the cool, sequestered vale of life, They keep the noiseless tenor of their way." Sometimes I think we are doing wrong i 1 exciting our children to more ambitious things and pointing them to the high places of the earth. Am bition is a sordid, selhsh word. It comes from "ambio" to walk around hunting for votes. That is what my big dictionary says. Better not as pire too high or expect too much. As Cobe says "it won't do lor a man to strain his gun." Next on the programme was the military performance of the broom brigade. It was quite a small brig ade. About thirty girls from the school at Monticello were brought to dress parade by their professor. They were armed with brooms, and dress ed in pretty uniforms blue ginghams with "negligee" waists and white braid trimmings, and rosy cheeks and "damask blushes, and other tantalizing things. They went through the manual of arms and all the evolu tions that are known to military com panies, with perfect precision. It astonished everybody, and I remark ed to a veteran : "It looks like the girls are getting ready for the next war." "Yes," said he, "and they may fight it. It was the likes of them that hurried me into the last one." Another remarked : "I wouldn't be surprised to hear of them being in the infantry service before long. They are shooting now shooting Cupid's arrows." On the whole it was a pleasant fair, pleasant to all who attended ; but there was some disappointment be cause of the lack of agricultural ex hibits. The country people have an idea that somebody else will get the premiums and so they do not bring their products. To make a country fair a success everv substantial farmer in the country ought to take some thing, even if it is only a curiosity a freak of nature, a curious ear of corn, or a potato, or a gourd or a three- egged dog, or something. I know what Bradley county can do from what was there, but there should have been ten times as much corn and cotton and oats and potatoes and pears, etc., etc., Mr. Pearce lives there the man who ginned the bale of cotton that took the premium of $1,000 at the world's fair the high est premium ever given to a bale of cotton. He gave me a roll of his best ginning of this year's crop, and brought it home with me. It is more like down than cotton. But I had to leave those good people with my thanks and blessing. went overland eighteen miles to Monticello. I cheated Jay Gould out of that much time and money. We made it in three hours and that beats his railroad. Monticello is a more ambitious place than Warren, but has no better people. They ship 16,000 bales from Monticello and the town has macadamized the streets and is building up beautifully. From there 1 made departure lor home. The railroad did not connect at Little Rock so I bumped around the big room in the depot until 3 o clock in the night (seven hours )and reached the river at Memphis next morning at 9 o'clock. It took us two and a half hours to cross and of course the train was gone. I waited an hour but couldn't wait any longer so I was delayed there until 9:30 o'clock that night. It is just awful when a man is anxious to get home. The hours are so long and weary. I fully ex pected to be left again at Chattanooga but the conductor told me that if his train got in on time I would have five minutes to reach the Western and Atlantic as it passed along at its crossing on Main street, and if I would jump off quick and trot along lively and motion to the engineer and the engineer was in a good, kind humor and would slow up a little I might possible make it. And I did. My valise was pretty heavy, but I trotted and fox-trotted and paced and got to the crossing just as the loco motive did and 1 motioned m a pleading, beseeching way, and he smiled and nodded, and a stranger said : "Give me your hand, old gjen tleman," and I did so and gathered the handrail and pulled up 175 pounds just as if it was nothing. The clever stranger tossed my valise on the platform and I was happy, yes, calm and serene. You see I had not only run and jumped from one train to another, but from one system to another, and it is no small thing to jump systems. I jumped from the Richmond Terminal to the Louis ville and Nashville and they don't connect at Chattanooga, une goes out at one depot while the other comes in at another depot half a mile away. They 'are not synonymous or simultaneous, nor "en rapport, and so the only chance is to jump for it. Why, my folks thought I was lost and were just about to telegraph for me all over the country. It took me two and a half days to travel 150 miles. But one trouble is that the river is lower than it has been lor years, and the ferry boat has to feel it way along and every few minutes strikes bottom on a sandbar and has to get off and try another plaee. At one point we were twenty minutes in moving forward twenty feet. But all this trouble will be over by spring, for the government is building a fine bridge across the river, and it will be a great relief. Until then, I must say farewell, Arkansaw. Bill Arp.

THE GRADY MONUMENT GEORGIANS UNVEIL A MONUMENT TO HER tLLUSTTIOCS SON. The Monument Unveiled I.ast Week Gov. H1U Pays an Eloquent Tribute to the "Journalist, Orator, Patriot" A Great Demonstration. " This is an unaccustomed specta cle. The scene which we are now witnessing scarcely finds a parallel in the history of the world. It is an occurrence upon which the ear nest attention of the whole Amer ican people is riveted at this hour, because of its peculiar sig nificance. Not henry w. grady. to the memory of a great soldier or a famed states man is this statue unveiled to-day, but to a plain citizen of the Republic a "journalist, orator, patriot." "Journeying so far, intermitting for a season official routine and political duties in order to be present with you besides this dedicated monument of your enduring and proud memory, I have questioned whether the act might speak more acceptably than any words of mine. "To pay the due tribute of a per sonal friendship, it is enough to come hither in silence and amid this throng of Georgia's sons, and of Southern men from sister States attesting a common heritage of grief and pride, here cast my leaf among your laurels, and passing to my Northern home, "turn, "And bid fair peace to be his sable shroud. To commemorate the rank he made, the prizes he won in high cal ling, there needs no eulogy from me. His acquirements, his gifts, his genius, the outlines ol his manly character, the circumstances, of his career, are best known to you among whom he lived and did his work, until for him too soon, alas ! the night came, which ends all our brief days and work. "Yet besides this tomb, before this silent token of a nation's mingled grief and homage, no greater tribute could I pay to Henry W. Grady s memory and public services than to repeat the story of his brave life." These were the opening words of Gov. D. B. Hill, of New York, in Atlanta last Wednesday, at the un veiling of the monument loving Geor gians had erected to the memory of their distinguished fellow-citizen. The statue is a beautiful one. The great size is the first thing that strikes you. On account of its size it is best seen at a little distance, say fifty yards. A person standing immedi atley at the foot of the pedestal is so far below the statue that he cannot see it in its natural aspect. All the proportions seem exaggerated there, but as you recede the figure becomes more animated. In the twilight or early dawn, you might imagine it an orator addressing an assembled mul titude, the right elbow thrown up, and the forearm bent horrizontally across the chest, as the hand pauses there before one of those energetic, sweeping, graceful gestures of the powerful and well-proportioned arm, The inscriptions on the dieare as follows : On die east side : - ; Henry W. Grady, JOURNALIST, ORATOR, PATRIOT. : Editor of The Atlanta Constitution : : Born in Athens, Ga., May 24, 1850; : : Died in Atlanta, Dec. 23, 1889. : : Graduated at the State University, : ; in the Year 1869. : : He Never Held or Sought Public : ; Office. !

Boston, December, 1889, : The citizen standing in the door : way of his home, contented on his : threshold his family gathered : about his hearthstone while the : evening of a well-spent day closes : in scenes and sounds that are dear ; est he shall save the republic when ; the drum tap is futile and the bar- : racks are exhausted. University : : of Virginia, June 25, 1889. : The cord which held the veil was pulled shortly after noon by Miss Gussie, the only daughter of Henry Grady. After music by the band Hon. Clark Howell introduced Gov. Hill who commenced with the words above quoted. He made a great speech. We quote below a few passages from it as follows : After recounting his early struggles and failures, his purchase of the Con stitution, Gov. Hill said : "He rose rapidly in general esteem he became a powerful factor in the politics and prosperity of Georgia and the attention of the nation was drawn to his career. In those few 1 years intervening before his death, he I rounded well the record of his briei j life, and richly earned that simple j but impressive epitaph which you : have placed upon this granite base 'Journalist, orator, patriot.' '"Journalist, orator. Datriot'did ever sculptor's chisel cut a truer or worthier epitaph ? Journalist, orator patriot' what three words portray more truly Grady's life-work ? 'What are fuller in suggestion and signifi cance? Governor Hill continued in an ela borate and masterly eulogy of the life and character of Henry W. Grady Alter describing his "mission of peace," in which he paid a beauti ful tribute to his efforts to bring the North and South together, he said : "Henry W. Grady was not only a great orator and a public benefactor he was a typical citizen. The solid virtues of his private life fitly supplemented the brilliant qualities of his genius and the great accomplish ments of his public efforts. He was a domestic man. He loved his home and his family ; he was always de lighted to entertain his friends around his own hospitable fireside. He loved the country and its quiet pur suits. He was a true friend and an honest man. Absorbed in bis pro fession, he never held or sought office. "He died at the early age of thirty nine. His wonderful career resembled a meteor flashing through the heavens dazzling us with its' brilliancy and startling us with its sudden depart ure. "Proud ought Georgia to be of her noble son ! Proud ought the South to be Of her great benefactor ! Proud ought the nation to be of her elo quent pacificator ! The sacred task which he ac complished let no man try to undo. The reconciliation which his eloqu ence brought about let no man dare to disturb. Let that hand wither which seeks again to kindle the fires of sectional strife that Grady quenched. A reunited people shall quickly avenge that insult to his memory and smother with reproach that incendiary effort. "When upon the solid foundations of success which you and he have built the complete structure of a glo rious statehood shall be reared by your posterity, jealously may those future generations preserve the memory of that young Georgian, and point with veneration to this noble statute repeating sofdy and rever ently the words of this inscription 'Henry W. Grady, journalist, orator, patriot.' "And when from distant States and a colder clime strangers shall walk through the streets of your beau tiful city and gaze upon this memo rial of your love and pride affection ately may they recall the life work of this beloved Southerner, and rev erendy carry away with them as an inspiring and patriotic memory the touching tribute which you have in scribed in these letters ot stone, that 'when he died he was literally loving a nation into peace.' "A nation in peace! A broad land disturbed by no civil dissensions, threatened by no foreign enemy ! A people united and homogeneous, prosperous and happv ! No trace of conflict, no bitter memory, no ques tioned loyalty ! That people rejoic ing in the universal spirit of fraterni ty, retaining only the pleasant recol lections of the past, harmoniously solving the problems of civilization, working out together the grand des tiny of a common country that peo ple will ever hold in grateful remem brance the life and public service of Henry W.
