When some great event disturbs the nation like a storm disturbs the waters, he lets the muddy current glide on down the stream, dropping its sediment as it flows until it gathers in some distant pool, pure, tranquil and pellucent. I thought of this the other day as I watched the workmen raise the statue and place it in position. I thought of Grady then and Grady now. Of Christmas, 18S9, and com pared it with to-day. How well his noble character has stood the crucial, critical test of time. Nothing that concerned him has disminished ex cept, our grief. Indeed, his wonder lul, though brief career as patriot, peacemaker and orator become more wonderful as the years roll on. How fondly did the people love him and how they love him still. Since his death I have journeyed far and fre quent over this sunny land, and everywhere I go earnest -men and sympathizing women say what a pity, what a loss, what a calamity. It is amazing to think what a throb his pleading eloquence sent through the nation and what a shock soon follow ed it. ' , Is it possible, thought I, that a man can be great very great and not know it ? Is it possible for him to feel and to cherish, grander, nobler thoughts than his peers and be un conscious of it ? We all knew Grady and we called him Henry, for he never passed his boyhood. Like a laughing happy child ne brougnt sunshine when he came. He could make a beautiful speech we knew that but the occasions that called for them at home were rare and the matters involved were of no great concern. But few knew that he could rise as the occasion rose; that he could soar with the the eagle the proud and noble bird that is the emblem of a great nation.

When communing in serious discourse with master minds, such as Toombs and Stephens, and Miller and Hill, and Bleckley and Campbell WaDaa, he poised his reflections to their wisdom, their phil osphy, their prophetic vision, and met them upon an equal plane. With the same aptitude he mingled with the young men, both, in their sports and their debates, interspersing all his social pleasures with editorial work and closing the day in genial frolic with the typos and the news boys who thronged The Constitution passways after their work was done. His power was tremendous, but he did not seem to know it or to value it. It was a kind of personal magnetism. It was almost impossible to resist him when he had a wish in his heart and threw himself within the breach. How easily he captured Boston with all of exacting critical rigidity of culture. To see him and hear him, and feel the thrill of his emotional, impassioned eloquence, was to surrender to him and become willing prisoners to truth. To read him now refines and elevates our patriotism and nurses our memo ries with richer 1 bod. -PROPRIETOR- Wilson Marble Works DEALER IN Nash and Goldsboro Sts. JOHN D.

With what anxious apprehensions did we learn that he had accepted the first invitation. We feared that he would be lacking in courage, lacking in stately dignity, lacking in having the sympathy of his audience. We did not fear that he would be lacking in "thoughts that breathe and words that burn." Peace was his mission ; peace was in 'hia heart. At home he had prayed for it, worked for it, written for it. "They do not know us," he said. "I feel like I want to go to Boston and from the summit of Bunker Hill cry out with Webster, 'Oh, ye Bos tonians, you have conquered every thing but your prejudices ;' or like Paul at Mars Hill, exclaim, 'The peo ple whom ye ignorantly despised, let inc this day declare unto you.' " His love of peace and good will among men was with him a control ling passion. Romans remember when one morning they found their papers multilated. Every copy had the same space cut' out, a space that was about three inches of a column, and the wonder of the was what was it ; What had been printed there. Grady was not well and had gone home when he thought the matter for tbe morning's issue was ail made up. A short, pungent and sarcastic communication was handed to the foreman just before going to press. An excitme, bitter controversy was going on in the citv, and the author of the article thought his criticism of a leading citizen was ueservca, ana insisted on its publication. About midnight Grady came back to the office to review his work, and was surprised and shocked when he read the communication. He never stop ped to consider whether it was. true or not true, deserved or undeserved, but without hesitation put all hands to work tjith knife and scissors and ex punged the piece to the glory of his cause he possessed the highest elements of oratory sincerity and the pathos of language. In Kentucky there is a tradition that one time while Daniel Boone was hunting far from home, unfriendly Indians came and carried away his boy a lad just in his teens,' who was chopping wood not far from the house. When Boone returned and found that the idol of his heart was m , , T mi tl .1 11 gone, he said: 1 will touow tnem. By day and by night he kept upon their trail and overtook them a hun dred miles away, and spied his boy tied to a tree bv their campfire. Parental love leaped in his heart and made him fearless. He walked boldly to the chief and said in their lan guage : "Vou have a boy at home; you love him ; give me mine and the great spirit will smile upon you in the cloads." He threw his knife, his tomahawk and his rifle at the red man's feet and said : "Let us be friends when y&u die bury these in your grave. Take them to the happy hunting ground and tell the great spirit that Boone sent them." He waited not for an answer, but untied the lad and while the amazed bewildered chief was looking upon the weapons, Boone and his boy walked away in' the darkness and were soon beyond pursuit. Grady went to Boston on a mission of peace. He laid our weapons at their feet and asked that they be buried surprised, bewildered, charm ed, they did it but they will pursue the boy.

And he returned home weary but gratified with his work. Most men who have ambition. work for a reward, work hard for fame or for office, their, eyes are fixed upon the goal, but Henry Grady had no desire for - either. He had no goal. He took more pleasure, more com fort in working for others than in promoting his own interests. He made governors and senators and judges almost at will but asked no place for himself. Once only was he tempted and would have accepted it if it had been thrust upon him, but it was not. He was too late. Had he lived even until now the highest place in Georgia's gift would have been easily been his own. There would have been no contestant. Some men ride into office upon the soldiers, some upon the farmers, and some make up a slate and pull together,- but Henry Grady had no clique or Ciitari-Is, Not Loral, lut Constitutional.

I have been requested by one of your citizens to give through the columns of your paper a description of soldier life in the army. If you will be kind enough to publish I will give a brief description of duties per formed by the soldiers at this post. Every morning at 5:30 o'clock the call of the bugle is heard for reveille, fifteen minutes later assembly goes, the 1 st Sergeant calls the roll re porting to the officer in charge. The officer then faces about and reports to the Adjutant. Ten minutes later mess call is sounded. At this call the dining room doors are thrown open, the privates taking their places at one table, the non-commissioned officers at another. At 6:45 police call is heard. At this call those who come off guard the day previous will report in fatigue dress to the police officer. Their duties are to clear away any leaves, paper, or trash that has accumulated on the parade ground or streets within the Fort. At 7:15 sick call is sounded. All needing medical attention will report at the hospital for treatment. If too unwell to do duty they are confined to the hospital until entirely recover ed. At 9 o'clock we have guard mount ing. Each day sixteen privates and non-commisnioned officers are de tailed. At 9:30 the call for the instructions . of officers, non-commissioned officers and privates. At 12 sharp mess is again, heard. This call is responded to with more promptness than any otner. At. 2:30 P. M. drill call is sounded. At-this call all soldiers oil duty will fall in for drill and instructions in manouvers. At 5:30 comes dress parade when all officers and enlisted men partici pate. When parade is d'tmissed mess call is again heard. At 9 P. M. tattoo is sounded and at eleven taps when ail lights are extinguished and. all retire. Much could be said of each of these duties but as it will occupy too much space Twill not say more of them just now. f The storms we have had for the past few days have been terrific, de stroying hundreds of dollars worth of property belonging to the govern ment. 3 6-10 inches of rain fell in twelve hours. The torpedo magazine is nearly completed. It is quite an enormous affair and if filled with torpedos will contain enough of them to blow up half the boats Hampton Roads can float.

We will then be able to throw a shot weighing about a ton thirteen miles. Still another drill for the boys. The post was nearly deserted on Saturday last (Friday being "pay day.")
