A movent is now on foot by tbe Confederate veterans of tbe S:iu(h to set aside an appropriation for Dan Emmett, the composer of "Dixie." Mr. Emmett is 83 yeare of age and is living at Mt. Vernon, Ohio. He is not in very good cir cumstances, financially. For quite awhile be has been paid $5.00 per week from an association of actors but it seems that this appropriation is soon to be cut oft. In discussing tbe advisability of the Confederate veterans paying an amount towards bis living, Rev. T. P. Cleveland, tbe chaplain of the camp at Atlanta, Ga., plead very earnestly and said tbat it did not matter whether the author ot "Dix ie" was a northern man or a south ern man, the people oi the South should not let bim suffer in bis old age, and that he believed that tbe Confederate veterans ought to raise a fund large enough for bim to live from tbe interest, and at his death use the principal to erect a monu ment to his memory. top Thnt Dancer Hole.

Rev. 0 P Kankin in well trained de livery, read h?rnn 'Fling to the Winds thy Feam." The singing was led by a male choir, con pised of Messrs Barrow, Howland, Lewis and J M., J D and A E L mz, Prof. R L Keener presidium at tbe organ. The effect was subline. The venerab'e Dr. J 0 Davis Ihen read the 146th Psalm so conspicu ously connected with Miss Willard's Qrs. teniperano- crucaie in 1873. Kev. u G Hurley followed in appro priate prayer. Rev.

Tbe speaker knew bis sutj ct, haying real much tf the noble life, and it was a source of e-ucation aud i: epirution as be gave his hearers the bene Q s of tbat knowledge.

Though skeptical in her youth, she was a reeker after truth. he found that truth a 'all set kers do and henceforth followed a burning zeal for a life most consecrated to well doing, and most conform lble to Him whom she would emulate. The speaker traced this life from the cradle to tbe grave, interspcred as it was, with tbe Gres of tribula tion and the coronations of triumph. But the influences, like th? rays of the son, could not be m asured, fal'y traced nor estimated. Tbe? had gone to every part of the world. The speaker disavowed the belief that Miss Willard eooght the e'ec- ti ye franchise further than local op'ioa to prevent tbe opening of an e il traflo from which women and children are the chu f suffer, rs. Tbe epebker rose to eloqent strains as be Kid the closing tribuie words on tbe memory tablet of tbe life be so much adniiie'. One stanza of ''Lead Kindly Light" was then rendered with good effect, when Rev.

He referred to Doro ba Dix and her unyielding pressure till a e pieced on foot the grand scheme of caiing for and blessing the unfor tunate victims of dementia, and of Fiormce Nightingale as ehesw ihe lack of tei.der care for the hick and woun ed in the Eulish army and gave them her own service to the amelioration of suffering, leading the way to the present hit;h degree tf hoep tal (fliciency.

It is the unani mous opinicn of all present lt evening that the Julia ManruJer Club was wise in srlecing as its first lectnrer Prof. E B Lewis, cf the Coucnrd Graded Schools. Piof. Lewis has won for bimeeif an euvia tile r-putatiou as a scholar, licturer aud educator, both in aud out cf the Old North Sta'e, and It was with pletsint anticipations that his audi ence awaited bis address. In the "ibsence of the president of the club Piof. Lewis was introduced by the Vice President Mrs. D li Coltrant, iu a very graceful manner. Prof. Lewis has an ease of manner in lecturing thnt is charmin?, cou pled with a full and vigorois vocab ulary entirely at bis command. He enterUintd the club with a discourse on "Books wny we read, how wo should read, aud how to select a hook," and closed bis address with well rtndered aul appropriate yerte, "In the land where ibe bucks come true." Mies Majruder, for whom the club rws ho honor to ba named, and rf whom all Southland is justy roud, presented ihe Club with oue of ber books, "Realized Ideals." Th book was accepted and responded to by Mrs. J D Arnold in a very chat ming and piaoeful min ner. Tbe p easure of the evening was er atly enhanced by tbe recitations of Miss llender. on, of t-'a'i bury. Concord society alwayu welcomes Mis IJendrrsun first for ber own graceful pretence and atso for l er remarkable talent is elocution. Her selections a typical representation of Uenbenstein's melody in "F" and "He and She," by Sir Edwin Ar nold were heartily encored. The music furnished by Miss Har ris and Messrs.

A correspondent of the New York Mail and fxpress claims to tie in possession of information tnit diyers' reports show tbat tho explosion was from without. The yea.tel ij said to te sinking into the mud, end it is even said tbat the tfTort to raise tbe ship is about to be abandoned, as it is be lieved to be not wjrth the cost. The work of saying is progressing slowly, the electric lights being far from satisfactory. Tbe paymaster's safe containing f22,fiOO bas beeD secured. Neither the United States nor Spain is to be caught napping, and preparations are being made fcr the worst. There is no cause, however, lor hostile aois as yet. Tneie are Spanish jingoes tbat would have that country to strike a first and decisive blow. The Spanish worship Visciya has left tbe hirbor of New York to take her place probably in the bar bor of Havana. We insert below the conservative sentiment of one whose views on recent prominent questions are pop ularly received: Topeka, K:in., Feb. 25. Wm. J Bryan was interviewed today coo cerning the Maine. "In my opinion we should bu slow to act in tbe Maine aUciir especially under tbe tryiue circumstances which confiont us," be Slid. "Another fact which iu my mind impels us to exercise discretion is that the tflliial investi gation of the explosion to now being made. The United States cannot afford to be too hasty in this matter. Iuternational questions are involv d, and it would be a sad compliment to our government were we to openly and maliciously bring about er tiued relations by our anxiety to locate rbe responsibility far th Maine disaster. Nothing should be done until the investiration is completed." Yellow Journalism's Innlnic. This is a good time for people who want to know the truth rather than to have their brains aud blood inflamed, to read the. news for themselves instead of accept ing the headlines of sensational newspapers. A yellow paper pub lished iu a city to tho south of us ran the following heading, in enormous black type, over the Associated Press story in its issue of Thursday: "Divers Disclose the Deed of a Dastard ; The Hand ot a Spaniard Did the Work. First Authentic Report from the Investigation Shows the Battleship JIaine Was Blown Up By Designing hands, and Junior Spanish Officers Probably Behind It." The story which followed those hair-lifting lines, displayed across three columns, was word for word tho story published in the Obseryer the same morning, and our readers know that there was nothing in it to justify any such caption. The dissociated Press has ample inert and means at its command and has charac ter for truth to maintain. If it had not ninotoen-twouttetha of its clients, which are not yellow, would demand the truth from it and would not tolerate sensation alism. In this Maine matter it has striven after aud has attained substantial accuracy. It will con tinue to do so, but the public, seeking facts, must read it mports and not depend epon the IhuuI liues over them, unless it knows that it can trust the paper which at the time it is reading. Equally untrustworthy with the heudiugs in some of the papers, are tha ro poits of special correspondents, sent ont from Havana. That city swarms with correspondents of American yellow papers, who urn there to send out stuff which will tn nk e their paper Hell. Yellow Journalism, with its bloo 1-ciml- liug headlines over specials which are the creations of fancy, and illustrated with realistic pictures of Cuban scenes, made iu a back room of the homo oflice, is in the very hey-day ot its glory, and pa pers lilH tl.e Sin , Herald, Times aud Tribune which are priuting thu straight facts under heudliui'S which tell truthfully what is to be found in the body of the mat ter, are not in it at all with a gimlet-headed public which lovoe, above all things, to be humbug ged every hour in the day.
