In the good old days when there was less to do than now, or more time to do it in, men and women studied and cultivated two arts that are now greatly neglected, the art of conversation and that of correspond ence. We know of their conversa tional powers only by description or through presumably faithful stage representations of manners and cus toms of a bygone age, but an abund ance of correspondence has been pre served that serves to show us how the art of letter-writing had been cultivated. The letters make lively and entertaining the most common place matters in a manner to which we are not now accustomed. Much of the conversation was no doubt idle gossip, many of the letters are shal low and of no permanent value; but they serve to show the importance of learning how to give good expres sion to whatever thoughts we may have. Our stock of ideas may be imited, but we should at least learn how to dispose of it in the most ef fective way in the show window. Learning is of more importance, in theory at least, than ability to give good expression to thought without earning, but it is nevertheless desi rable that one's powers of expression should be developed that one's learn ing, great or small, may be made useful. A distinguished orator is seldom a great thinker, but he has learned the art of expression; he plays upon words with a glib tongue and moves his auditors by his elo quence, even when he tells them nothing that is new and presents to their-minds no sentiment that they j have not entertained before. He has learned the art of expression and has become a leader of men because he has learned to talk convincingly. He seldom speaks without having in his audieuce men who know more about the subject of his discourse than him self, men who could correct his er rors and carry his speech to a logical conclusion; but they are for the most part men who have not studied the art of expression and who would be dumb if called upon to express them selves. The mere manner of an orator is impressive, tie is seii-conncieni ana utters commonplaces in a big round voice, with pauses provided for in evitable applause, and carries him self with such airs as to convince even those who know better that he is a great thinker and a learned man. Sometimes the orator is really learn ed; more often he is nothing more than a master of the art of expres sion an elocutionist. But because there are charlatans in the business is no excuse for the common neglect of learned men to acquire the arts of expression. Their knowledge is of no value while it is locked up in their own minds. They should learn how to give it expression in attractive writings or speech, instead of leaving the field entirely free to mere mas ters of style. It would be ignoble to study means of expression alone, but those who have learning or ideas should not neglect the means which stvle in writing and speaking give them to make their writings or their speeches interesting and effective. They Are What You Make Them. Once upon a time there was.said to be a man moving from one section of the country to another. One night while camping near a farm house, the gentleman went out to cnat mm awhile. The man who was moving said that he was glad to get away from his old neighborhood that he had the meanest neighbors in the world. His visitor replied, "They will be just that sort where you are going." Soon, another mau from the same neighborhood camped at the same place and had the same visitor. He remarked that he was sorry to leave his old neighborhood, for he had the best neighbors in the world. "You need not trouble yourself about that," said the other, "you will have just as kind neighbors where you are going. " Beware of a Coogh. A cough is not a disease but a symp tom.

The Death of "Tige" Anderson Causes a backward Glance. General G. T. Anderson (Old Tige) and Colonel Tom Taylor have just passed over the river. They were near the same age and were close to gether during the civil War. Gene ral Anderson was our brigade com mander and Colonel Taylor comman ded one of his regiments, the First Kentucky. Since the war one of them was made chief of police of At lanta and the other of Louisville. Ky. Taylor was next to the last of the surviving colonels of that brigade. It was General Bartow's old brigade, composed of the Seventh, Eighth, Ninth and Eleventh Georgia regi ments and the First Kentucky and a Virginia battery. The regiments changed their colonels many times, and of the old Eighth only one (Col onel Towers), who was its fifth colo nel, now survives. None but the veterans know how numerous were these changes of commanding offi cers. The records show that but one of the Georgia regiments that went into service in 1861 and 1SC2 brought back the same colonel it took out. The officers of the compa nies were changed oftener than the colonels. Deaths, resignations and promotions were ever going on. Captain Twiggs's company of the First Georgia regulars had twelve different captains during the ser vice. The personnel of the privates was also continuallychanging "dis charged" or K. I. B. (killed in bat tle) is appended to more names than half the first muster rolls, and recruiting was constantly going on to fill up the files. But I was ruminating; about old Tige and Tom Taylor, for after Gen eral Bartow was killed I was trans ferred to General Anderson's staff and followed his fortunes for nearly two years in the Army t)f Northern Virginia. He was every inch a sol dier. He never questioned the wis dom of an order, but obeyed it. "Ours not to make reply: Ours not to reason why: Ours but to do and die.' was his motto. I do not believe he ever experienced the emotion of fear. We thought that sometimes he was too daring. I remember that on one morning during the oatties on the Chickahominy he wished to make a personal reconnaissance of the position of the enemy on its left flank, and asked Major Ayer and myself to ride with him. There was a wide, open field between the ar mies, probably 1,000 acres, and our wing was covered by a forest of thick woods curving round the open space in form of a semi circle. We kept covered by these woods until we had got round and were as near to the federal batteries as we dared to go. The general said: "Well, there is no use in going back the long way that we came. Let us take the diameter of this circle and save a mue or two. iney win see us and open fire," said I. "Let them shoot," said he, "they can't hit us. We can outride their balls, come on; follow me," We did fol low, but we dident want to and there was no necessity for taking such a peril. I never will forget that ride. The federal batteries opened fire quickly as we flew along the plain. The six-pounders sent their balls over us and behind us and before us, and some bounded along the ground quite near us, but the general only waived his hat and smiled. We were all well mounted and made the trip safely, but I never made another reconnaissance with him. One evening our brigade was at rest on the bank of the Rappa hannock. We had made a long march and were waiting orders. The boys were sitting down or lying down upon the grass. The enemy were massed behind the mountain range that skirted the opposite banks of the river. We could not see them, but we knew they were there, for their bat teries amused themselves by firing over the mountains and dropping their shot and shell at random over us and beyond us. They exploded in the air and did but little harm. We were not alarmed and watched them as we would a pyrotechnic dis play. General Anderson was stret ched at length upon the ground and we were not far away. His fine horse was cropping the grass and the general held him with a long rein that was attached to the bridle, While we were chatting quietly a shell exploded directly over us and a murderous fragment struck his horse on top of the head and killed him instantly. Our nearness to the danger stopped all conversation, but the loss of his horse aroused and ex cited Old Tige beyond measure. Looking at his horse that was dying at his feet he used language accord ing to his anger and indignation. His anathemas were fearful. "We will pay them for that," he said. "I would have given my right arm for that horse. But we will pay them back two for one. We have come here to fight, and old Bob will give us a chance to get even. Blast their infernal batteries! All they dare to do is to hide behind a mountain and shoot over it." We did get even, and Old Tige was comforted; for in a few days the second battle of Man assas was fought and a great victory won. Forty-eight thousand troops under Lee utterly routed and van quished 80,000 under Pope. I never think of General Tom Tay lor but what I think of the great battle of Drainsville, iu which he fig ured and a smile comes over my memory. The fun of that battle last ed our boys a long time, and Major Ayer at Rome is not done laughing at it yet. The valley of Drainsville was neutral ground and the harvest of hay was great. The two armies were in winter quarters and wanted it. Jeb Stuart assured Gen. Johnston that if he would furnish the wagons and teams and a regiment of infan try he would go for the hay. He. said that the owners were mostly south ern men and wanted us to have it. Old Joe was suspicious, but consent ed. The federals were nearer to it and had a large force of" cavalry in their camp. Tom Taylor was sent along with his regiment, and Major Ayer put in charge of 400 wagons with four-horse teams to each. It was about fifteen miles to the valley over a pike road that was generally wide enough for teams to pass each other, but was very narrow where cut through the little hills. Many of these cuts, a hundred yards long, were not more than ten feet wide. The day and the scheme was kept profoundly secret. One morning about the break of day our boys were aroused by the unearthly rumbling sound of 400 wagons rolling over the pike, but that sound was nothing to the roar ing of those wagons ou their return. That train of wagons was nearly four miles long and by the time the head of the column got fairly into the val ley and the major began bossing the loading of the foremost teams Tom Taylor, with his men, were resting iu the suburbs and Jeb Stuart, with 2,000 cavalry, were paraded on a hill overlooking the vallej-. Just then (5,000 federal cavalry came charging down from some hiding place behind the woods and for an hour or more Stuart and Taylor had their hands full. The federals had an artillery company to help create a panic and they were after the wagon train in desperate determination. In the confussion that followed the surprise Stuart ordered the wagons that were loading hay to countermarch in double quick and they performed that maneuver with alarcity until the head of the procession reached the pike and could get uo farther, for the body and tail of the train blockaded the highway for two miles back. Then came' the groat stampede. "Then rushed the steeds from battle driven." All along the line the alarm was given, whips were popping, teamsters bawling. "Turn, men; turn and save your teams," exclaim ed the major. "The yankees are coming." And they did turn, but to this day nobody knows how. Some of the wagoners swore afterwards they flew over and some crawled un der and some turned a four-horse team in an eight-foot cut. Colonel Taylor ordered his men to guard the wagons, but they couldn't keep up with them. Staurt's men were in a hand to hand fight with the enemies cavalry and slashed them with swords and shot them with small arms; but they were outnumbered and had to fight and fall back at every charge. It was about the middle of the afternoon when the roaring of the stampeding train reached our camp ground. Old Joe Johnston heard it, for the sound thereof was like the sound of many waters. He under stood it at once and ordered a whole brigade and battery to double quick up the Drainsville pike. "I told Stuart, " he exclaimed, "they would trick if he didn't look out. Those rascals in that valley are nearly all union men and they got word to the enemy. I'm afraid we have lost some of our wagons, and it will be a hard joke on Stuart." Later on we per ceived great clouds of dust gathering over the pike and the roaring came louder and louder and nearer and nearer, and by and by, with the aid of a field glass, we could see Major Ayer rise over the top of a distant hill and halt. He is a fine rider and was astride a fine horse whose name was Selim. He saw the brigade coming to the rescue and slowed up, the long pro cession behind him. Man and beast continued on third page "It is with a good deal of pleasure and satisfaction that I recommend Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar hea Remedy," says Druggist A. W. Sawtelle, of Hartford, Conn. "A lady customer, seeing the remedy exposed for sale on my show case, said to me : 'I really believe that medicine saved my life the past summer while at the shore,' and she became so enthusiastic over its merits that 1 at once made up 1113' mind to recommend it in the future. Re cently a gentleman came into my store so overcome with colic pains that ho sank at once to the door. I gave him a dose of this remedy which helped him. I repeated the dose, and in fifteen min utes he left my store smilingly inform ing me that he felt as well as ever." Sold bv M. E. Robinson & Rro.t J. F.

Business during the past week has been active in most departments, but considerable delay in transportation and damage to property in many lo calities have been caused by storms and floods. The textile business con tinues to make the poorest showing in current trade reports, but a favor able feature in this industry has been a moderate revival in the demand for export. No serious damage has been done to crops by wet and unseason able weather other than to delaj seeding and to retard the growth of winter wheat and newly planted crops. Extraordinary activity has characterized the Stock Exchange markets, and new records have been made both in volume of sales and in the quotations for many securities. American subscriptions to the new British loan explain a renewal of gold exports, which latter, however, have had no effect upon the money market, as the Treasury gold fund is in excess of all previous records. Business failures during the past week, according to R. G. Dun & Co., numbered 215 in the United States and 2t in Canada, against 204 in this country and 22 in Canada during the corresponding week last year. Cotton prices have been up and down a fraction under varying weath er and trade advices, but the net re sult of the week's business has been a decline of one-sixteenth of a cent per pound. The movement of the crop continues large for the season; the indications point to an increase in acreage; the exports are moder ate, and purchases by domestic spin ners continue to reflect the unsatis factory condition of the consuming industry. Domestic trade in cotton goods has continued quiet. Distribu ters have shown little disposition to anticipate their requirements, and the sales of staple goods have been mostly in moderate sized lots. An encouraging feature of the situation, however, has been the well sustained demand for heavy sheetings and drills for export. Notwithstanding the disturbed political conditions in China and the large stocks awaiting distribution at Shanghai there have been further important sales for ex port. It is estimated that upward of 50,000 bales of cotton goods have been sold for shipment to China since the present year opened, and in ad dition there have been purchases cf 10,000 bales or more for South Africa. This improvement in the foreign de mand has had a steadying effect up on prices of export grades of cotton goods, but other branches of the market continue to lack strength.

Scrofula Is a disease as old as antiquity, and as young as the newest born infant. It has infested the blood of humanity from ancient times down to the pres ent minute. It is hereditary or may be acquired. It appears in swollen glands, scrof ulous sores, hip disease, boils, pimples, eruptions, and, as believed by high authorities, even in the forms of catarrh and rheumatism. It can be cured by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla faithfully and iersistentlv. We know this, because Hood's Sarsaparilla has done it. It will cure you if you give it a trial. You should begin to take it today. Hip Disease " I suffered from hip disease; had 5 running sores; used crutches and each winter I was confined to my bed for weeks at a time.
