Wolseley, now in command of the British forces in Ireland, is, as Wellington was, a native of the tu multuous and explosive island. Very few men in his position and of his age he is not yet 58 have had so many experiences and narrow escapes. -He is a soldier through and through, and one the very best, it is thought, England has-had. The son of Maj. J. G. Wolseley, of the Twentyrfifth regiment of foot, he entered hisj profession as ensign at the age of 18 and was rapidly pro moted. During his first campaign ing, irfBurmah, he and a brother offi cer were shot down at the head of a storming party. His companion bled oaeatn in a tew minutes., and his life was saved almost miraculously after months of extreme suffering. In the Crimea, when he was 21, he was several times wounded. In the trenches before Sebastopol he was knocked, down by a solid shot striking near him, and rendered senseless," while those - about him were instantly killed. He was picked up for dead with wounds all over his body. The. surgeons abandoned hope; but he did n'ot, and to his de termination and fortitude he owed his final recovery, with the loss of an eye. A regular war dog, he has fought wherever there has been a chance in Asia and Africa. He is believed by the common soldier to bear a charmed life, and his name is indtssolubly connected with victory. Soldiership aside, he1 has various accomplishments, having written, besides military works, a clever nov el, "Marley Castle," and is regarded socially as delightful.

CONFEDERATE VETERANS, 1e southern exposition. COMMERCIAL1 A GREAT GATHERING AT ICKSBURG, VA. Dr. D. Hayes Agnew, assisted by several other eminent Philadelphia physicians, performed the remarka ble surgical operation in that city baturday of transplanting a nerve from a living, dog to the right arm of Mrs. J. H. Weber; , Mrs. Weber lost the use pt that member in 1889 by the removal of a tumor, in which it was found necessary to cut out about three inches of the musculo spiral nerve. Dr. Agnew cnt into the patient's arm a wound four inches long, and to the depth of the nerve, the dissection being made with the. utmost care. After some difficulty the two ends of the divided nerve were found, in a healthy condi tion, but about three inches apart. At this Jtime Mr. Martin, within one minute, exposed and removed three inches of the sciatic nerve from the dog's hip. Quickly taking up the living nerve in forceps, he handed it to Dr. Agnew and Dr. White They placed it in a sheath of decalcified chicken bone, and put both be tween the ends of- the divided nerve, stitching them there securely. Several months may elapse before the nerve has time to recover itself, and at least as long a period will be needed before the muscles, in disuse for oyer two years, will regain their normal condition. The dog was etherized and killed, immediately after the operation, before he .had recovered consciousness. ' 1 1 BFABKURQ CATAWBA SFHIUGS. ' Health seekers should go to bpark ling Catawba Springs.

One such jewel copies a daisy, and has an electric spark flashing from the centre; an other is a model of a lantern in emerald glass, while a death's head in gold, with a ray gleaming from each eye, bears testimony to the realistic proclivities of the age. : jThe wearing of electric jewelry necessitates the carrying about of an accumulator, which resembles a spirit flask, and is generally' stowed away in a waistcoat pocket. Brooches are made occasionally for ladies' wear, .but as women have no waistcoat pockets a difficulty arises with re gard .to the battery. !

The town is profusely decorated to-day with bunting and Confederate and National flags in honor of Memorial Day and the unveiling of the Confederate statue. Thousands of visitors are in attendance, including a number of Confederate Camps.".,.: f'..; .":: ;v.:h; .. About 3 oclock the line of procession was formed and marched through the principal streets to the cemetery, where 3.000 Confederates are buried, amid cheers from the throng which lined the route. The procession, which was under the direction , pf Grand Commander Wra. P. Smith, and marshals, comprised car riages containing members of the Ladies' Memorial Association and distinguished guests, bands ot music, uniformed Con federate veterans, sons of veterans, the Fire Department and civic organiza tions. . Services at the cemetery were opened with prayer by Rev. I. W. Couler, of the Methodist Church, and then Gen. Brad ley T. Johnson, orator of the day, de livered the unveiling address, which was in part as follows: Fellow Confederates, men and women:: For the last twenty years I have been observing with- growing wonder the phenomenon of feeling towards the actors on the Confederate side. It is a fact, and a wonderful fact, that the pathos sentiment' and reverence 'of the war between the States is concentrated and" crystahzed about the cause of the Con federacy, (a the North to-day no name thrills human hearts like ' that pf Lee; no name electrifies peo ple like that of Stonewall Jackson; no flag flashes, no sabre glistens, like that of Stuart; neither Grant nor Sher man, nor Sheridan great and success- !ul soldiers of the victorious side have eft such an impression on the imagina tion or hearts of the people as have the leaders of the Confederates, who died in battle or yielded to overwhelming force when further resistance would have been criminal. I do not mean to intimate, for I do not believe, .that the North has changed its opinion as to the wisdom of our course. They thought then, and they think now, it was foolish to break up the Union, because, first, the Union was profitable; and second .be cause it was impossible before the over whelming force for us to succeed. I do say that the Jdea is clearly pressing it self upon the Northern mind j that we tried to avoid war and did not want war; but that it was brought on, waged and continued for the purpose of keep ing a taction in power, and enabling the controllers of that faction to make profit out of it. He declared that the Confederate soldiers were the greatest the English race had ever produced. Gen. Johnson then paid a warm tri bute to the Confederate soldiers, and to the women ot the South. Occasionally, one of the latter, he continued, has picked up a handsome, dashing and gallent Yankee officer. The tempta tion to get even," he went on "was so strong, for even the Confederate woman, but she has since held his misfortune at having been a Yankee over his head and has made a better man and a bet ter soldier of him every time' The statue was then " unveiled by Capt. John W. Barney. It is' a bronze statue of a Confederate soldier,-nine and a half feet high. He is represented as standing at "parade rest," with musket in hand and with blanket thrown over the left shoulder. A haversack swings from the same side, while from the right side swings a canteen and bayonet and scabbard. On ! his head rests the familiar slouch hat. - The corner-stone of the monument, the apex of which is now f crowned by the Confederate statue, was laid June 4, 1874, by rreoencKsburg Lodge No. 4, A. F. and A. M and the monu ment was completed and unveiled on Memorial Day, Thursday June 9th, with imposing and elaborate exercises. The monument was erected by the Ladies' Memorial Association, and the stone was taken from the farm of Mrs. Dow man, in this county. It is of gray gran ite and stands on a mound five feet and six inches high. There is a column on each corner of red granite and with gray granite and plynth base. It contains the following inscriptions: On the East side "South Carolina, Vir ginia, North Carolina." North side j "Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkan sas." West side "Louisiana, Mississip pi, Texas.""South side" Georgia, Flori-; da, Alabama. On the West side are! muskets; on the South, a castle with bat tlements; on the North side, sables; on the East, a cannon, and the words; "To the Confederate Dead."! j An .Invitation Extended to President FREDER- I "Harrison to be Present. ; ; .. . 4 By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, June 10. A delega tion of about seventy persons, repre senting all the Southern States, waited on President " Harrison this morning and invited him to attend the Exposi tion to be held at Raleigh, N. C, in October and November next. ; The party was headed by Senator Ransom, of N; C and Mr. Patrick Walsh, of Augusta, Ga., ' and included Mayor Badger, of Raleigh;Col. A. B. Andrews, ot Richmond; Major R. S. Tucker," CoL Burgwyn, and representatives of nearly all the leading Southern cities. f - Governor Holt, of North Carolina, in tended to be with the - party, but. was not able to come. The President received them in the Cabinet room. Senator Ransom made an eloquent address, inviting the Presi dent to Raleigh, and assuring him of a warm and hospitable welcome. The President,, in reply, thanked them for the cordiality and impressiveness of their invitation, and said it was very gratifying to him to feel that they had come so far for such a purpose. Their invitation called for serious considera tion on his part, but he could not now tell what he would be able to do at the time of the Exposition. He said he knew he would be received with kind ness, as he had recently had conclusive evidence on that point. .He regretted that it was not his privilege to pass through North Carolina on bis recent trip.' He continued, "Np; I cannot pro mise at this .time. Indeed, I am very chary about promises. Public men have been severely criticised for making Eromtses they could not perform, and I ave made it a strict rule not to make a promise There, is too much doubt about the future state of public business for me to anticipate what I may be able to do. You will bear in mind that Octo ber and November are apt to be busy times with the President in conection with the assembling of Congress, and in the' discharge ot my constitutional duty I must try to enlighten Congress as to the affairs of the country, - so you see it will not be easy for me to get away in the Fall. I am in full sympa thy with every movement for the dis play pf our magnificent development and material prosperity in the arts and Sciences. I will bear your invitation in blind and will try to arrange my affairs so as to accept it." j The President's remarks were loudly applauded. The presentation volume is a large silver-bound and clasped book, 14x23 inches, covers or native North Carolina pine, pannelled with natural curled pine, eight panels of ele gant design on each cover. Within is framed the invitation, printed on a large tobacco leaf of the far-formed North Carolina golden leaf. On the leaf ;is printed, "Citizens of the Southern section of the Union extend an earnest invitation to Benjamin Harrison, Presi dent of the United States, and his Cabi net." On. another tobacco leaf of the same size is, the following : "To visit them at the capital city of the 'Old North State' during the Southern Ex position, October and November, 1891." Above and on each side of both leaves are. bunches of rice grown in North Carolina, below are bolls of open cot ton, representing agricultural products. Below are sheets of mica, representing industrial products of the South. The back-grounds are of black velvet, lined with gold cord and handsomely framed with plate glass. Similar invitations in portfolio form will be presented to each member of the Cabinet. 'Mr Walsh then addressed the Presi dent on behalf of Augusta, Georgia, and the President said his response to the other invitation applied equally to this.

By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Chicago, June 10,-Jhe corn pit was the centre of attraction on the Board of . Trade to-day, and peculators from other pits flocked to that point to take a hand in the proceedings. JThere was a big" slump in prices in the early trad ing, ; followed by partial, recovery. Wheat was dull, with nothing of im portance doing until near the close, when business picked up a little. Price ranges were confined to extremely nar row limits during most of the session. Operators were inclined to hold off for the government crop report, due at 4 o'clock in J the afternoon. July opened at 98Kcj sold off to '98JCC, .fluctuated for a long time between 98c and 98KC, then when the bull news began to have its effected vaftced to 981 c, with possi bly a sale 1 or two at 99c, and closed at 98c, or c above yesterday's close. Corn opened at 58Js58)c for July, against 58c at. the close yesterday, on account ot light receipts over night, but the advance did not hold. There were reports of fine growing rains in the corn belt. There was very little demand and nearly everybody seejned to have some to sell and the market immediately took the down grade. It was not long before a drop was made to 569c. As the decline went on, long corn began to come 'out, and for a time the market seemed demoralized. Reports from the interior were to the effect that a large amount of corn was being loaded for Chicago, ;and big receipts were looked for during the next few days and cables were lower, at the lowest point. Esti mates for to-morrow came in showing small receipts in sight. Sellers seemed to have been batted out and as many shorts who had satisfactory . profit be- fan to cover,- there .was good reaction uly selling back to 57. and closing steady at 57. Oats were weak, in sympathy with corn and! July fell from 43c to 42c early, but rallied with corn and closed at 43c. i Provisions were -weak and lower. Receipts of hogs heavy and prices lower. Pork was slumpish and longs were growing i tired of carrying their heavy loads. There was no general liquida tion, however, and fluctuations were rather narrow. Compared with yester day pork shows a loss of 10c. lard and ribs 25c, DOMESTIC MARKETS. COMPARATIVE STATEMENT ! Of Stocks, Beeeipts and Exports of Cotton By Telegraph to the Morning Star.

It has cow been nearly a year sine the eruption was healed, and I very much feared it would return with the warm; weather of this year, but the summer is passed and not one sore has appeared on him.

' By Telegraph to the Morning Star. j Kansas City, Mo., June 10 The fourth of the Vandevere family at Atch ison, Kan., has been taken with hydror phobia; the father was . stricken yester day and his death is momentarily ex- gected. One member of the family died aturday and two others, it seems, can not recover. The cases are the most remarkable ever heard of in the West. There are six brothers and. one sister in the family and there is considerable ap prehension lest more of them should be stricken. Dr. King says that there is no doubt that the disease Was transmit ted to the boys when they1 skinned the affected call nine years ago. Thomas Vandevere is resting easy. The condition of his mind is entirely changed since yesterday morning. He is not auite convinced that he will live. When Dr. King called on him he was engaged in writing a letter of consola tion to his lather. Jacob Vandevere, a 15-year old boy, has not- taken & par? ticle 1 of - nourishment since he was at tacked by rabies Saturday. Peculiarity of the strange disease in centering at the muscles of the throat completely preventing him from.swallowing any-thing-nourishing or anything that sug gests swallowing, throws; him into the most horrible convulsions.

Estimate of the Department of Agricul ' tnre of Acreage Planted and Condition ' on the 1st of Jane. I By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, June 10 The report of the statistician of the Department of Agriculture for June makes the acre age in cotton 97.7 per cent, of the area of 1890, and the average condition 85. The reduction in area is attributed in some districts to concerted contraction on account of low prices, but it is evi dent that it is mainly due to unfavor able conditions for planting and germi I nation. The record of planting in the May report is quite accurately a history of the crop to the present time. ; Plant ing was delayed by early rains, droughts in the latter half of April, followed, by continued drought in May. Germination arrested, replanting active, - defective stands corrected, are features of the record frequently and almost univer sally reported. These conditions were less general and controlling in Texas than in other States. ! . A rears as compared with those of last year are given, as follows: Virginia U6, North Carolina 94, South Carolina 96, Georgia 95, - Florida 99, Alabama 96, Mississippi 95, Louisana 96, Texas 105, Arkansas 96, Tennessee 95. The general condition is the : lowest for June since 1874, though it is only a .fraction lower than that of 1883 and 1889; ' the "latter a year ot good yield through favorable later conditions. State average .of condition are: Vir ginians, North Carolina 75, South Caro lina 80, Georgia 80, Florida 90, Alabama 80 Mississippi 88; Louisana 88, Texas 91. Arkansas 89, Tennessee 73. I The temperature of May was quite toO low for cotton, cool nights checking germination and retarding growth. Of course these conditions make crops late in development in some places a few days in some, in others a week or two later than' in seasons of early develop ment. There" is frequent mention of bad stands, but constant replanting will reduce the vacancies to a minimum. Cultivation is necessarily late and fields are erassy, with the usual variation re sulting from differences in soil.-amount of replanting and relative promptness and efficiency of plantation managers.
