The following is an extract from flic address delivered ly Col. K. D. TIall at a reunion of the 27th Regi ment North Carolina Troops at La (! range, Lenoir county, on August 4th. lS!t:i "It is with great pleasure that I appear before you on this occasion, a survivor of Conk's Urigade, North Carolina Troops. It is a source of infinite pleasure to every true South erner, to see that the determination tion to keep alive the recollections and to commemorate the great events of that momentous episode in the history of our States, not only exist, but increase year by year, and bid fair to he a monument to our glory not built with hands. It is a matter that should be encouraged by every honest means as it not only keeps alive our past glory but is a sure in centive to our future happiness and prosperity. To all just-thinking minds no disloyalty to the American Government or Union is intended, for I am sure that at no period of the American history was danger to the Union or Covernment less appa rent. "Now my friends, while we all feel proud at being Southerners and hav ing given our best efforts in behalf of what we thought was the vital in terest of our beloved North Carolina we. here to-day. glory in the fact that we' constituted a part of that heroic Hrigado (Cook's) of Lee's glorious army and especially those present that belonged to the illustrious 27th Regiment of the Urigade. constituted as that Urigade was of four Regiments unsurpassed for heroism in Lee's army. You. my friends of that Reg iment, should feel happy and proud of the fact that it was your fate to be one of that Regiment: commencing its lists of battles with the first one fought in North Carolina, Newbern. and ending at Appomatox. It took the front rank in each and in two or three its conduct was unsurpassed j for gallantry by none, not only in j Lee's army, but in the world's his-! tory. The heroic conduct of the J 27th Regiment at Sharpsburg not i only caused the promotion of that gallant officer Col. R. I. Cook to a! isrigauier iioneraismp ami as sucn i he won immortal glory m l,ee s army, but. had a powerful and beneficial effect on the results of the battle. Of all the battles fought in the war Sharpsburg was the most terrific and bloody. As an illustration, there were more men killed and wounded there than at the battle of (irave lotte. near Metts, in the Franeo ('erman war. which was the bloodiest battle of that war. when the com bined forces of the French and (ier nian army exceeded the Confederate and Federal forces two to one. "On the field of Sharpsburg many individual deeds of gallantry shone brilliantly: one I mention with prufe: In the westwoods. when the great effort was made by the Federal com mander to penetrate and turn (Jen. Lee's left Hank had partly succeeded and was prevented only by (Jenei'al Walker's North Carolina division, consisting of Ransom and Cook's Urigade, the latter commanded by Col. Van Manning, of Arkansas, and when he was wounded was succeeded by myself and General McLaws, Georgia division. Ransom's Brig ade was led in the midst of the con test by our now distinguished Sena tor then Col. M. W. Ransom. Gener al Rob' t Hansom the commander of the Urigade was called on to assist as division commander, and being side by side and in full view of all that happened. I speak knowingly. In all the battles that I have gone through I saw none that surpassed that in the intensity and fearfulness of the bloody struggle. Blood flowed like water. The enemy in vast num bers was pushing forward to complete the fracture of our line and Ransom's Urigade being on the right of the line of the division was the first to come in contact with the enemy and amidst the roar of artillerv and mus ketry unequalled by any I ever heard before, that Urigade. headed by its heroic Colonel, advanced with out one instant of hesitation to the charge. I was particularly struck with the manner that Colonel Ran som led the charge. "His conduct reminded me then and frequently since, of that historic incident, the victory of Marshall Saxe at the battle of Fontenoy. when the French and English forces were face to face in line of battle and about to commence the deluge of blood, but was delayed and stopjx'd for awhile by an interchange of courtesies by the commanders of both lines by courteous bows and salutes and invi tations from each to fire first. Ran som's manner of leading his forces forcibly reminded me of it: well in advance of his line, frequently giving his commands accompanied by ges tures, such as waving his hat and lointing emphatically to the advanc ing enemy stimulated them to their successful charge, and by his digni fied and determined appearance ap peared the fit type of the Southern cavalier branch of the Anglo-Saxon American. H is conduct that day was fully recognized by his appointment to a Brigadier Generalship."' VIM AM) THE KEEN. The (icortria Philosopher Interesting;!)' Discusses the Little Wonders. There is one good thing about get ting stung by a bee. It makes you forget all other troubles for a little while. I have had lots of fun with these bumblebees for the last few days and it renewed my youth. Time was when I thought it a big thing to fight "yeller jackets'' and take my chances with the other boys. The bravest boy was the biggest fool and would stay at the hole the longest and thresh all the leaves off of his brush and get stung before he surrendered. I am not that brave now, and I fight with exceeding caution, but I have killed over two hundred in two days and fought fair and square. My weapon is a crum pan and I take 'em coming and going, but they crowd me sometimes, and my antics attrac ted attention among the nalors, for they can see me in the upstairs piaz za and one good lady inquired if Ma jor Arp was subject to fits. The bees come out where the weather boarding joins the floor and my re peated assaults have made them mad generally. Up to this time they have stung ever)' member of the fam ily, even to the little grandchild who lives with us, and I'm going to ex terminate them if it takes all sum mer. We tried hot water, but it won't reach them. Just think of that pMKir little child going around with one eye closed and afraid she will lose the other one: and Mrs. Arp's head all swelled up with two bumps that a phrenologist couldn't diagnose. We can't sit in the downstairs pi azza with any security. It is a big ger thing right now than bi-metalism or free coinage or the tabernacle meeting. In fact, it is a relief from politics to fight bees and study them in the book. I wish the editors would hold up awhile and go to the woods and fight yeller jackets or wasps or hornets and get stunga few times. It would be a relief to the country and 1 have heard that such stings are good for rheumatism or any nervous affection and I know that it takes tin" conceit out of a man r()1. awi1j My book says that the proper name is "bumblebee," but there is no hu mility about these at my house. There are from 70 to 'J()0 in a colony and so I know I have nearly whipped the fight. They live only one sum mer and never rebuild in the same place. The books say there are three kinds the masons and the carpen ters and the diggers, but what they are good for I don't know unless it is to make a man more willing to quit this world and prepare himself for another. If there were no snakes and tarantulas ami stinging things ind deadlv contagions and dema- j gogues and thieves and fusses we wouldn't want another world. The little honeybee is a trump and j a wonder from stem to stern. It is good to ruminate about their w isdom and skill and their government. Just think of one queen being the mother of L'O.INIO and controlling them all more absolutely than any human mother controls her children. Just think of 1U.5UU workers and only Ti' HI drones in a colony. These drones are the gentlemen, and remind you of our gentlemen loafers and swells who set about on the piazzas of the hotels and watch the girls go by. Hut the drones don't enjoy them selves but a month or two. The queen gets tired of them and gives her orders and then the massacre of St. Hartholomew begins. In an hour's time every one is slain stung to death by the workers, and their puffy, bloated carcasses dragged out and tumbled on the ground. There is no little thing in nature more wonderful than the honeycomb that these little workers make. Its mathematical construction gives the most space with the least enclosure, the arched top and bottom of every cell, the exact and uniform thickness of every division and the wisdom shown in shaping the whole store house to suit the shape of the hive is. indeed,' marvelous. Then there is the division of the workers into brig ades and regiments and companies, some to gather honey, some to make wax. some to build the cells, some to stand guard, some to wait on the queen and be her escort as she moves around, and a whole regiment to keep their wings going like revolv ing fans and supply fresh air in the hive. That fan business makes the i humming that is heard in the hive day and night. It is the flutter of the wings of the fanners. How in the world they do everything in the. dark is a wonder to me. I was talk ing to my friend. Mr. Russey, alxmt it on the train some time ago. and he told me confidentially that he was experimenting to see if he couldn't cross honey bees with lightning bugs and get up a bee that could see how to work at night or in the dark. He has applied for a patent on the idea, but whether he has succeeded or not in his experiment I have not heard. He was very sanguine, and the only trouble, he said, was about the cross finding room in the tail for the fire works and the sting too. Rut Mr. Hussey is an engineer on the State road and knows what he is about. The sting of the bee is said to be the most perfect war weapon ever invented. It is exquisite in its me chanism. It is a hollow tube, and and yet the point of the finest cam bric needle is immense when com pared with in. Under the microscope the sting is perfect in its shape and smoothness, so much so that the point is almost invisible, whereas the point of the needle under the same glass looks like a great rough crowbar with seams and ruts all over it. This is the difference between the works of God and man. And yet the same Almighty hand that made the little bee with his wonderful in stincts and attachments made the universe the boundless, the limit less universe where there are stars to bo seen by the Lord Ross telescope whose light takes CO.OOO years to reach us. Contemplate that for a moment, ye little conceited minds who think it smart to say, "I don't believe in God. I am an agnostic." Sixty thousand years for the light to reach us. and Lord Ross said that the star was in the near edge of the universe. Light travels through space about RM. 000 miles in a second of time, which is more than ten bil lions of miles in a day. Then count it for a year and then for (50,000 years and give it up. We may well ex claim. "Lord, what is man that Thou art mindful of him." It is well for us all to stop a little while now and then and ponder upon the works of creation from the little busy bee to the confines of that universe that we may some day occupy as spirits un fettered by tiie flesh. Hut I must up and tight some more bumblebees for one has just stung the dog and he is rolling over in the grass in a most tumultuous manner. Hi i.i. A ur.

Wauled Ut Dispose of the Silver. stntosville Lamliiiurk. A few days ago a colored woman, an employe of Messrs. Irvin & Post on's tobacco factory, approached one of the proprietor's and remarking that she had heard talk that silver money wouldn't be good much long- counted out 05 silver dollars and $5 in greenback and requested that it be put in the bank. Her request was complied with. The panic af fected her differently from most folks, but it was doubtless because she had silver. If she had had gold she would probably have kept it buried or hid in her stocking instead of send ing it to the bank. Speaking of hoarding money, the propensity for such a thing during times like these we are passing through is much greater than any btnly imagines. Whenever the cry is heard that currency is scarce and hard to get hold of, thousands of eo ple lay hold of every dollar they can get their hands on and never turn one loose. And one of the greatest hardships during the present crisis is that many men, who have as much money as they ever had and more, perhaps, take advantage of the situ ation and refuse to pay their debts, and many a creditor is in this waj forced to the wall.
