NOT DEAD BUT LIVING.
A Card from tbe Famoos Old
Clou, John Lowlow.
Sometime, ago tlio Atlanta Constitu
tion published a feeling obituary notice
of the dcutli of the famous clown, Julio
Lowlow. Soiuo days later it received
the following card from Mr. Lowlow,
which will bo read with interest and
pleasure hy our people, who will no doubt
be glad to learn that this funniest of all
the funny clowns still lives:
Kditor Constituli n It was with min
gled pleasure and pride, after almost a
half century of strife and troubles, sor
rows and joys, after having been turbu
lently tossed on the sea of adversity and
finally beiog cast upon the bosom of a
happy family in a pleasant home in the
suburbs of Cincinnati, that I read an
editorial article in your valuable journal
in which it is stated that I have crossed
the great divide, where there are do
mora troubles, where the familiar crack
of tho whip and jest of tho clown are
wholly unknown. It is, indeed, with
pride my bosom swells when I again live
over the happy past, which a kind Provi
dence enables mo to do, though
"Time which steals oui jearsaway, and
half our pleasures, too,
The memory of the past will stay, and half
our joys renew."
For years and years joy was all mine
when I was the cause of merriment to
thousands upon thousands of my South
ern brethren.
Born in dear old Georgia, in the city
of Savannah, away back in 1811, where
the wircgrass grows and the goobcrpcas
never die, where wo have many a time
made the welkin ting with our "Hurrah
for Vamacraw," is it not pardonable that
I feel a just pride in the glowing tribute
paid to the old time circus aud of veterans
whose names aro household words
throughout our funny land, and to me
so great a tribute that tears of joy spring
to my eyes and my heart beats high with
pride to think that io dear old Georgia's
greatest journal I should live to read so
glowing a eulogy so proud on epitaph.
My one ambition is to again visit my be
loved state as I was went to do ill years
gone by dressed in the motley garb of the
fool iu the favorit one ling circus with
the ringmaster, the rider and the clown
when once more, I can repeat my original
expression, "tiring in anotner noss,
which served more than anything else to
to couple my name with the words whic'i
resounded ever and anon in the halls I
Congress and in every conceivable place
in broad Ameiica where our beautiful
tongue is spoken, and which will always
be identified with me until a merciful
Creator shall have called me to His home
and tho green curtain of earth shall have
hid forever from Ihe public gaiM youi
bedient servant, John Lowlow.

The larmer with hemp whiskers was
talking to the drummer on nn accommo

over an Ohio railroad.

"Not n u h."

"I should think if J on had cyclones
and grasshoppers together they would
offset each other."
"You mean, I reckon, that the ty-
clones would blow the grasshoppers

" Ves," and the drummer smiled.
"Well, they did some. You see, when
I first cot there I wis always scared of
cyclones till tho hoppers came; then I
wanted a cyclone, but I never had pjuih
lock nohow and 1 was pretty turo I
wouldn't get it, but by hakey it oome,

"Did It blow tho hoppors away ?"
"Yes, but it blowed tho farm along
with them and landed me and the hop

county. ' It shook the hoppers up a great
deal and I thought I was bavin' fair
luck, when I found out that tho taxes
hadn't been paid in that county tar teq

Wrote tie Beautiful Sonir.
The sun had just gone down behind
tho hoary hills flooding the June twilight
with its gold and glory. Having finish
ed my dinner, I had strolled out to
take a tutn beneath tho maple trees that
ino the walk about the courthouse Hon
ey laden, homeward bound, belated bees
droned in the trees, and all the world
seemetl filled with tho sound and scent
of summer.
Here would I walk and watch out the
dying day, and breathe the pure air fresh
from the snowfields of the north. Here,
too, I hoped to win a good night smile,
for down this way she was to pass to the
theater with another man, I was turn
ing the corner when she came. Face to
face we met, and such a smile! there was
a world of tenderness io it, and with a
man's conceit, I fancied there was some
thing back of it.
I wondered, too, if she had guessed my
secret; and while the sound ot her car
riage wheels were still in my ears I said,
half aloud:
I've secret in my heart.
Sweet Murie,
A tale I would impart,
Love to thee."
And then as a man having been drunk
with wine imagiucsfhat everybody knows
it, I felt that my secret was out, and I
had gone less than a dozen yards when I
finished the half stanzn:
"Every daisy in the dell
Knows my secret knows it well.
And yet I dared not tell, Sweet Marie."
Then tho whole song came rushing
upon me liko a mountain stream after
a cloud burst. Like a gleam of glory
in a gob of gloom it came fast and flooded
my soul and filled me with lustless joy
On I walked sang my new song and
gloried in it as a happy mother glories
in the first faint smile of a new born
b.ibc.
When more people and the stars came
out, and there was no longer room for
tho wide wings of my muse, I boarded a
cable car and went out to the very shad
ows of tho hill. Then the white moon
came up from the plains, making one of
those matchless moonlit nights that in
variably follow a perfect day in Denver.
he tired lawn mower that had struggled
all day against a vigorous brass band at
last laid down and the mellow notesof the
tuba came faint and fur away.
Far into the night I sat there saying it
o'er and o'er till every lino was registered
jo my memory.
The following summer I gave the po
em to General David S. Stanley; he sub
mitted it to Mr. Dana; it was accepted,
and on tho following Sunday received
some editorial mention, and I rejoiced
anew,
I think t wns ex-Congressman Bel
ford, tbe "red-headed rooster of the
Rockies," as ho was known in the house,
who first advised mo to have the verses
set to music.
Kayuian Moore was iu Denver at the
timo, and I persuaded him to call at my
office. When I read the song to him he
snapped his fingers tears of enthusiasm
stood In his eyes as he declared that it
would make "tho sweetest song ever
ung."
Out of the third stanita, which begun
originally :
Not the sun-glints in your hair
Sweet Marie.
Nor because your face is fair,
Love, to see;
I made a chorus, had my stenographer
copy it, then holding the revised copy in
his hand he began to hum. "Something
sweet and slow," ho said, "like this;" and
then he sang exactly as a million mouths
have sung since:
"Come to Die, Sweet Marie,
Sweet Marie, oome to me."
I rJteatod and remembered the rules
he sun , snd when a yeur later Will T.
Cjrltou came to the footlights in the
Broadway theater and sang the sang,
w is glad to note that Mr. Moore had not
varied a shadow from his first inspira
tion.
It happened that about the time the
first faint echoes of iho s-mg reached the
Rocky Mountain! we sturtud cast and
listened with eager ears to hear it sung
The blaok boy on the Burlington husk
od bis pillows snd hummed that tune
At Chicago we heard it after. At Clove
lsnd man pounded the wheels with
hammer and sang softly, ss to himself.
As we sat at dinner in tho Imperial in
New York the orchestra played it , and
where we stopped the girls sang it, and
even as we exchanged congratulatory
smiles a wild-toned street piano played
"Sweet Marie" io the stiect.
At Manhattan Beach we had the great
joy of hearing Sousa'a band play it; heard
Rayman sing it in a theater in town
then Mr. Mooro and I went over to see
the Manhattan Publishing Company.
From there we went to No. 8 Broad
street, where each received a check for
more money, we thought, than thcro wr.e

"How'll you have it?" asked a cheery
voice, as we faced the paying teller 10

A special from Ashevillo tells of
I know not where her dimple danced
I know not if her ringers small
Were blown or snowy white ;
Howc'er I strive I can't recall
Their form and lint aright,
I know it seemed the softest hand
The night when Grst we mot,
And, oh, the clasp she gave mo
I never can forget.
I know not if her eyes wero blue,
Or jet black, or gray,
They owned a very charming hue,
But more I cannot say.
Have I forgot 1 I frankly vow,
I'm quite ashamed; and yet,
The gate within them gloaming
I never can forgot.
I know not whore her dimple danced,
If on her cheek or chin ;
I only know I gazed entranced
And felt my heart fall in.
A dimple I 'tis a tiny thing
To dream of and regret ;
But how that dimple twinkled
I never can forget.
most disastrous wreck on the A-heville
and Spartanburg railroad which occurred
last week near Melrose, a station at the
foot of Satuda mountain.
At midnight a freight train, with four
teen loaded cars, left Asheville, bound
south, and struck the Saluda grade at 5
o'clock. The firi-t half mile of the grade
was made safely, but suddenly the train
shot forward and got beyond control of
the crew. It then began a wild run
away down the mountain. Most of the
orow stayed with the flying tiain till jt
reached the foot of the mountain, nearly
four miles from where it started. Tho
train went through Melrose like a flash,
but when it reached tho deep cut a short
distance beyond the engine left the track
plunged into the side cut and twelve cars
were heaped upon it. Fireman S. J.
York was caught under the oars and
killed, Neal Ewing of Asheville a stono
cutter who was stealing a ride was also
killed. Conductor Will Patton was bad-

She hath done what she could. Murk
Jiv., 8.
Mary, the sister of Lazarus and Martha,
whose home was in Bethany, offered to
Jesus a token of her personal affection
and confidence. It was a small thing to
do, and yet the Master seems to have
regarded it as of some importance.
She had an alabuster box of costly
ointment made from the roots of the
Fast Indian nard, and according to the
usage in Oriental lands she poured it on
the head of Jesus. Its perfumo filled the
house, and some of the disciples were
indignant at what they called the waste
of a precious substance which might
havo been sold for three hundred pence
for the benefit of the poor.
Jesus rebuked their complaints by
saying that Mary bad "done what she
could." It was not within her power to
assist Him in any great way, but she im
proved her narrow opportunity and ex
tended to Him a most gracious courtesy
Tho lesson is very significant. We
may not be able to do large things, but
wo can all do something. Not every
life can be conspicuous, but every life
can be beautiful. We are working for
the approval of God, not for the praise
or applause of men, and though the
world takes no note of our little acts of
beneficence He sccb tbcru, and that should
be satisfaction enough, mo man ever
lived in so small a sphere that he could
not be helpful to somebody at somo time
either by word or deed, and those scat
tercd words and deeds are the seed corn
whence springs the heavenly harvest.
Great men aud womeo are doubtless
needful to the progress of society, but not
more so than little men and women who
perform their humble tasks with serene
faith and unswerving fidelity. A general
directs the battle, and when the strategy
of his genius bus wrought a victory we
place his statue in our parks, but after
we havo given him all due credit we must
not forget that the victory was really
won by the courage of ths common sol
diers whoso names are never mentioned.
When we travel over the country road
wc look with awestruck wonder at the
range of hills on the horizon line, their
tops empurpled by the setting sun. The
clouds rest on their brows like crowns
filled with diamonds, whose facets flash
witlwuany colored lights. But need we
bo unmindful of tho graceful ferns, the
thousand wild flowers which Nature has
woven into a carpet for our feet ? While
admiring the one shall we ignore tbe
othei ? The same creative force which
lifted the hills from the valley has fash
ioned also tho pimpernel which peeps
from the sod to give us cheer. What are
hills without verdure? Every tree and
bramble, every weed and blossoming bud,
serves to mako the picture perfect; and
who is rash enough to say that the moss
on a fallen trunk has not a mission as
well as the stately pine, the pride and
glory of the forest ?
We need not bo discouraged because
wo live near the ground rather than near
tho sky. Our prime duty is to recognize
our limitations, and not frot ourselves
into restlessness through envy of those
who can do easily what wc cannot do at
all. Aspiration and ambition aro well
enough in their way, and we should al
ways be prepared for a larger opportunity
when it presents itself; but it is a fatal
mistake not to do the little things of to
day because wo expect to do great things
to morrow. Tho logic of the happiness
teaches us to be content with what we
have and to make the most of ourselves
in our present surroundings. Then, if
wilder chance happens to oome our way,
wo shall be equipped to make good use
of it.
It is a great pity that the popular
theology should dampen our ardor to do
what wo can. It has wrested the say
ing of the prophet Isaiah, that "all our
righteousnesses are as filthy nigs, from
its proper interpretation and bidden us
believe that, however honest our motives
and however self sacrificing our daily
lives, they count for nothing io the sight
of God, unless we accept a long array of
dogmas which no ordinary mind can com
prehend and about which theologians
themselves differ.
We arc wounded "past all surgery" by
such a statement. It is utterly incredible
that God should reject the man who be
lieves a little and lives according to that
belief, refusing to allow bim to enter
heaven because he cannot accept every
thing which the Church teaches as truth,
Besides, it is false; it is unreasonable.
It does not commend itself to tho com
mon sense of mankind. A good deed
done with a pure motive will never, under
any circumstances, be disapproved on
high. No matter how long or how short
God who is our Father will not regard
you as clothed in filthy rags, but on the
contrary will say, "Thou hast been faith
ful in a few things; I will make thee ruler
over many things."
Do what good you may, therefore, aud
trust to the love of God rather than the
caprice of men. If you live in a narrow
circle, fill it full of holy thoughts and
noble actions. No day will pass that
shall not give you the opportunity to
lend a helping hand to some forlorn soul.
Men and women need encouragement,
for our years aro filled with trouble. So
far as lies in your power do good by
word or deed, or both, and when you
wake from the last sleep the angels will
lead you into tho presence of One who
will give you a kindly welcome.

ROBERT E. LEE'S CHARGER.
Description of tie Famous Ani
mal y tie General.
Few people in this broad land do not
know that the late General Kobert E.
Lee's warhorsc Traveler gained almost
as much fume as did the celebrated Con
federate commander himself. After the
war an artist wrote to General Loo ask
ing for a description of Traveler, which
General Leo wrote for him. This is
what the general wrote about his favorite
horse: "If I was an artist liko you, I
would draw a true picture of Traveler,
representing his fine proportions, muscu
lar figure, deep chctt; short back, stroDg
haunches, flat legs, small head, broad
forehead, delicate eurs, quick eyes, small
feet and black inane and tail. Such a
picture would inspire a poet, whose geni
us could then depict his worth and de
scribe his endurance of toil, hunger,
thirst, heat and cold, the danaers and
sufferings through which he has passed,
He could dilate upon bis sagacity and
affection and his invariable response to
anv wish of his rider. He miiiht even
imagine his thoughts through the
night marches and days of battle tluough
which he has passed. But I am no ar
tist and can therefore only say he was a
Confederate gray.
"I nurchascd him in the autumn of
1801 in the mountains ofVirgioia, and
he has been my patient follower ever since
to Georgia, tbe Carolines and back to
Virginia. He carried me through the
seven days' battle, around Richmond, the
second Manassas, at Sharpsburg, Freder
icksburg, the last day at Chancellors-
ville, to Pennsylvania, at Gettysburg and
back to the Rappahannock. From the
commencement of the campaign, in 1SC4,
at Orange, till its close around Pittsburg,
tho saddle was scaroely off his back as he
passed through the fire of the Wilder
ness, Spottsylvania, Cold Harbor and
across the James river. He was almost
in daily requisition in the winter of
1864 5 on the long line of defenses from
the Chickahominy, north of Richmond
to Hatcher's run, south of the Appo
mattox. In the campaign of 18C5 he
bore me from Petersburg to the final day
Appomattox Courthouse. You know
the comfort he is to mo in my present
retirement. He is well supplied with
eouinments. Two sets have been sent
to him from England, and one from the
tv of Richmond, but I think his favor
ite is the American saddle from St. Louis.
Of all his companions in toil, Rich
mond, Brown, Koan, Ajax and Quiet
Lucy Long, he is the only one that re
tained his vigor to the last. The first
two expired under their onerous burdens,
snd the last two failed. You cao, I am
sure, from what I have said, paint his
portrait."
