THE BRAY OF AN ASS.
DEPARTMENT COMMANDER THAYER
BREAKS LOOSE.
Makes a Fool of Himself as Such
Fellows Generally Do He Protests
Against the Dedication of a Monu
ment in Chicago to the Confederate
Dead But Proceedings Will Not be
Stopped.
liosTOX, May 3. Department-Commander
Joseph A. Thayer has issued
and forwarded to all the Grand Army
posts of this State a " special nrtfOCS
of which the following is a copy :
" What seems to me to be a most
extraordinary proceeding in this great
nation of ours is advertised to take
place at Chicago on Memorial-Day of
this year, wherein a monument to the
memory of the Confederate dead is to
be dedicated. It was an outrage to
every true Union man that the monu
ment was ever erected ; but now insult
is added to injury by the selection of
our Grand Army Sabbath on which to
consecrate a shaft set up to commemo
rate the deeds of men who did all in
their power to destroy the (Government
we fought to save, and thi5 North of
Mason and Dixon's line.
" Comrades, the blood of our
martyred Lincoln, of our noble Grant,
and of all the men who struggled in
freedom's cause, cries out in protest
against this blasphemy.
" It is not within my province to
issue, in general orders, a command
to our posts to take action condemn
ing this proposed performance, but I
sincerely hope that the comrades of
this department will, in no uncertain
manner, place themselves on record
as resenting such exercises.
" The dedication would have taken
place one year ago but for the fact
that the funds to meet the expenses
could not be secured, and it was post
poned. It is a shame that it should
come now, or ever. Had as it is that
any memorial should be raised to the
perpetuation of the love of treason in
any portion of our fair land, this is
infinitely worse. And if we complain
because those who fought on the other
side still glorify their deeds, what
shall we say of an administration
which loans (a gilt of this sort can
not be made) cannon with which to
decorate and embellish the ground on
which this shaft stands?
That, as stated in the public press,
has been done. Should all this take
place and we remain silent ? I say
no; a thousand times no."
Chicago, May 3. Referring to the
circular letter of Department-Commander
J. A. Thayer, Grand Army of
the Republic, of Boston, protesting
against the dedication of a monument
in Chicago May 30th in memory of
the Confederate dead, R. H. Stewart,
president of Camp 8, United Confed
erate Veterans, made this statement :
" What a fool that man is. What
a pity that such a man lives to dig up
the hatchet that we have been trying
for so long to bury for good and all.
And why does he break out now ?
Where was this disturber last winter
when the Blue sat at the table with
the Gray, and dined as their guests?
This monument was being arranged
for at that time.
" It is being built by the ex-Confederate
soldiers in memory of the
dead, who, if alive to-day, would be
true American citizens. Three quar
ters of the money was subscribed in
Chicago, and the rest came from the
South.
" It stands in Oakwood Cemetery,
where lie the bodies of several thou
sand Confederate soldiers. They are
buried on Government property, and
perhaps for this reason Mr. Thayer
would have their bones disturbed by
removal. The Government has con
sented to loan us American citizens
four guns to decorate this monument.
We bought the carriages for the guns.
In Chicago there is perfect har
mony between Grand Army of the
Republic men and members ot the
ex-Confederate Association. I hope
that, with the exception of a few men
like Thayer, the same feeling exists in
Massachusetts and other States. There
are no more loyal citizens in America
than the ex-Confederates.
During the last strike in Chicago
their association offered to take arms
and assist in enforcing peace, and
were ready to do so, and if there is
eer a call for soldiers by the United
Slates Government there will be none
to respond more promptly with their
muskets than the ex-Confederate
veterans."
Chicago people generally do not
sympathize with the views of Mr.
Thayer.

Yes, you will laugh when I tell you
That this faded lilac spray,
So withered and robbed of its sweetness
Is dearer to me this day
Than all the lands of the meadow
That stretch so far away.
Long years it has been in this casket.
It is tied with a ribbon you see,
It came from a home on the hillside
Not far from the plunging sea,
And the day is rife with memories
When that spray was given to me.
I loved with passionate fondness.
The passion of youth's early years,
She loved in return, but a barrier
Grew round us and now it appears
That naught is left of our summer
But tills whicli I treasure with tears.
There were those who were older and wiser
And better than us they would say.
Who thought not of love and with laughter
Would scorn did I speak of this spray ;
And so we were parted. In silence
Alone each treading life's way.
Sometimes when I sit in the twilight
And think of that home by the sea,
I wonder if yet she remembers
That summer so happy and free,
And whether she thinks of the lilac
So modestly given to me.
When the spring time conies with Its
brightness.
And the winter is dead in its tomb,
There is nothing that fills me with gladness
So much as the lilacs in bloom.
And yet they whisper in sadness
Of a cherished hope and its doom.

WAS HE MARSHAL NEY?
THE QUESTION OF PETER S. NEY'S IDEN
TITY DICUSSED.
Rev. James A. Weston's Very Enter
taining Book He Appears to Make
Out a Good Case in Proving That
the North Carolina School Teacher
Was no Less a Personage Than the
Great Marshal of France.
f Wilmington Messenger.
We are still reading Rev. Jas. A.
Weston's volume as to Marshal Ney
and Peter S. Ney, the famous teacher
in North Carolina between 1819 and
1846, when he died. In 1847, we
learned many interesting facts con
cerning P. S. Ney from our friend
Victor Clay Barringer, now ex-Judge
of the International Court of Alexan
dria. Some years after we wrote of
the great teacher. From time to time
we have had something to say of Peter
Ney. We have regarded him from
what we have learned from several
men who knew him as a remarkable
character, but have been in doubt as to
who he was. There were reasons
known to us for supposing him to be
the great Marshal, the greatest soldier
France ever had, we think, of native
birth. But there were difficulties in
the way as the Marshal was universally
reported in all biographies and histo
ries as having been shot to death. We
have now a very decided conviction as
to the identity of Peter S. Ney.
We are not in the least surprised
that such very able jurists as Chief
Justice Pearson and Judge Archibald
D. Murphey, both of whom knew Ney
well, believed that he was Marshal
Michel Ney. We have no doubt what
ever that Peter Ney, the schoolmaster, I
was Michel Ney, the Marshal of
France. j
You can not read Mr. Weston's
book with a candid mind, open
to
truth, without being very highly im
pressed as to the great abilities, the
most noble and engaging character,
the tenderness and loveableness of his
nature, the wisdom,, common-sense
and masterful qualities of the school
teacher, who, from the evidence of
well educated, well born, religious
people who were his pupils, was par
excellence the greatest teacher this
State or the South ever had. Peter
Ney was indeed a very great man
that much is established beyond ai
fair questioning. That he had been
a distinguished soldier it is not hard to
accept. That for thirty years he sor
rowed and suffered as few men have
ever done is patent to him who reads
and understands. That he said again
and again, even on his death-bed that
he was Marshal Ney is established.
That his life was inexplicable, a very
great mystery, unless he was the Mar
shal is very plain so us. That he
fought all the battles the Marshal
fought we can not doubt. That he
was worthy of the confidence, admira
tion and affection ot the hundreds of
North Carolinians who knew him is
made amply clear.
We are not essaying to make any
argument or to show reasons for our
own conclusion. You must read the
book. It is verily as interesting as
one of Scott's most charming Scotch
novels or his best English stories or
"Quentin Durward," a capital pro
duction, and it is every whit as true as
the best biographies in our language.
We do not criticise Mr. Weston's
very entertaining sketch of the Mar
shal, his studied depreciation of the
great Napoleon or any faults of style
or taste these might detain us for a
little while; but we wish to express
our gratitude for the thoroughness of
his work; the exceeding fullness of tes
timony; the unflagging interest which
surrounds and pervades the discussion
throughout. There is no dullness in
the book. It is read with as much in- j
terest as we felt when we read Hugo's
great masterpiece, one of the chief glo-1
ries ot all literature L,es jvusera-
:,.c.Ui " mc .""T w
bles '-or Liuraas s 1 ne i nree iuus-.
Whatever other conclusion the critics
and others may come to, we have ar
rived at a conviction about which
there hangs no clould of doubt that
beyond all question Peter S. Ney was
Napoleon's great Marshal and friend.
We are not conscious now of any doubt
whatever, but the evidence to us is so
complete, so full, so overwhelming that
we have as nvich confidence in the
identity as we have of the existence of
Napoleon himself after studying Arch
bishop Whateley's ingenious argument
to disprove the Emperor's existence,
employing Hume's argument against
miracles a rcductio ad absurdum.
We shall die believing that Marshal
Ney died at the home of our old friend
Osborne Foard, in Rowan county, and j
was buried at Third Creek church.
We simply add here that for many
years we have had very grave doubts
as to the shooting of Marshal Ney as
recorded, and especially since about
eight years ago. We have no longer
a lingering doubt. As Peter Ney said
again and again the Marshal was
never shot He died in North Caro
lina. The Discovery Saved His L.ile.
Mr.G. Caillouette, druggist, Beaversville,
111., says: "To Dr. King's New Dis
covery I owe my life. Was taken with La
Grippe and tried all the physicians for
miles about, but of no avail and was given
up and told I coutd not live. Having Dr.
King's New Discovery in my store I sent
for a bottle and began its use and from the
first, dose began to get better, and after
using three bottles was up and about again.
It is worth its weight in gold. We won't
keep store or house without it." Get a free

HELPING ONE'S NEIGHBOR.
We Should Not Live For Ourselves
Alone Observing the Golden Rule.
Although the golden rule is too lit
tle regarded, there are many pleasant
examples of neighborly kindness to be
found, and it is somewhat astonishing
tnat the gratification derived by all
concerned from good deeds does not
incite to more frequent expressions of
sympathy or affection. In the pres
ence of a disaster everybody is aroused
tosympathy, and there is pleasurable
excitement and emulation in the ef
fort to extend help to the sufferers.
Everybody feels better for having been
stirred up to good deeds, and yet they
have only followed the Golden Rule.
They have set aside their selfishness for
the moment, have considered the dis
tresses of others, and have lent a help
ing hand to their neighbors. An ap
proving conscience has awarded them
and has made them feel, at least for
the moment, that "it is better to give
than to receive."
With such experiences, why do they
relapse into selfishness and refuse to
take any further interest in their neigh
bors' affairs? They have all about them
cases of distress as great to the sufferer
as those that roused their pity when
they first heard of the great disaster
and of its numerous victims. But the
individual case makes less impression
upon them. There are other people
who can attend to isolated cases of
want or suffering, and so the selfish
man buttons up his pocket and what is
worse, closes up his heart against ap
peals made for assistance. The refusal
of help that costs something in money
might be forgiven, but not the refusal
of sympathy and of the help that
comes from wise counsel or guidance.
Leaving out of consideration help for
one's neighbor in the form of gifts or
of charity, there is a wide field open
for the application of the Golden Rule
in other ways. A helpless woman may
have a little property which is in dan
ger of being sacrificed to the greed of
other people solely because she is not
versed in the law and does not know
how to protect herself. Active inter
ference on her behalf by a kindly
neighbor, disinterested advice or tem
porary money help may serve to re
lieve her of all difficulties and dangers,
and save for her a little competency.
There is here no element of charity
or gift-giving; to be neighborly in such
a case requires only sympathy, advice
and direction, yet it may accomplish
as much good as a large gift of money.
If a man should fall in the street the
passer by, however churlish, would
help him to his feet; why should he
not be as kindly when the fall has
been figurative? Franklin proposed
once to establish a perpetual helping
fund. When he met a worthy man
needing help he was to advance him a
certain sum as loan, to be repaid by
the recipient when he was able to do
so, not to Franklin, but as a loan to a
successor in distress, and so on in a
never-ending chain. There is not
much doubt that the chain would soon
be broken, but the principle is right,
and if all men should even try to fol
low the Golden Rule such a system
would enable one five-dollar bill to re
lieve as many cases of distress as it
now pays debts.
A modification of Franklin's plan
has been tried by a philanthropist with
such measure of success as to please
him. Having noticed the benefits
sometimes conferred upon business ac
quaintances through loans to tide them
over difficulties, he made a special de
posit in bank for this use. When an
appeal was made to him for help
would explain to the borrower
character of the fund from which
he
the
the
loan was to be taken, and that, unless
it should be returned the fund availa-
1 ble for such use would be diminished.
Speak Kind Words.
Kind words do not cost much.
They are quickly spoken. They do
nQt bIister lhe tQDgue hat uUm them
They never have to be repented of.
They do not keep us awake till mid
night. It is easy to scatter them.
And, oh, how much good they may
do! They do good to the person
from whose lips they fall.
Soft words will soften the soul.
They will smooth down the rough
places in our natures.
Care to say kindly things will drill
our natures in kindness. It will
help pull up all the roots of passion.
It will give us a spirit of self-control.
It will make the conscience and the
disposition gentle.
A man can not make a habit of
speaking kind words without augment
ing his own gracious tempers. But
better will be their influence upon
them.
If cold words freeze people, and hot
words scorch them, and bitter words
madden them, so will kind words
reproduce themselves, and soothe and
quiet and comfort the hearer. They
make all the better elements of one's
nature come trooping to the surface.
They still his passions. They melt
his stubbornness. I hey arouse an
appreciation ofbetter things.
It us say the kindly word. No
one can tell how many burdened
hearts may be relieved, how many dis
couraged souls may be inspired. Say
it every day to the beggar who knocks
at your door ; to the man who disturbs
you while you are busy, asking for
work ; to the one who has almost lot
hope ; to all. Remember, kind word s
can never die.

SERVES NOTICE ON THEM
OFFICE HOLDERS ARE PLAINLY TOLD A
" THING OR TWO."
While the President Does Not Require
Office Holders to Conform Their
Views to His, He Intimates That
They Must Not Go Too Far In
Denouncing Him and His Adminis
tration. TKichmond Dispatch.
In the following letter from Mr.
Cleveland to Governor Stone, of
Mississippi, he says, substantially, that
it orhce holders go too far in their
denunciation ot him and his adminis
tration they may expect to be sum
marily dealt with ; but intimates that
he will not require them to conform
their views with his.
The President then repeats once
more his views on the silver question.
1 here is nothing new in his letter, of
course, but it is well worded and
carefully expressed. Here is a speci
men paragraph :
" I have never ceased to wonder
why the people of the South, furnish
ing so largely as they do, the products
which are exported for gold, should
be willing to submit to the disadvan
tages of loss from silver monomet
allism, and content themselves with a
depreciated and fluctuating currency."
The whole letter is as follows :
Executive Mansion, i
Washington, D. C, April 26, '95.
Hon.J. M. Stone, Governor, etc.:
My Dear Sir : Your letter of the
21st instant is at hand. I do not feel
inclined to find fault with your criti
cism, but I think the matters you
refer to should be judged in the light
of theddcircumstances existing at the
time the things were done. I never
had an idea of building up or foster
ing a personal following, but so far
as politics should properly influence
me in making appointments I have
tried to be Democratic and not pro-
scriptive. I am glad you are frank
enough to admit your participation in
bringing about a condition in office
holding which may not be all that
could now be desired.
Whether those appointed to places
shall, in speech and action, behave
decently toward the administration
under which they hold office, must
remain, to a large extent, a matter of
taste and good breeding. There are,
however, some officials who devote I
themselves so industriously to vilifica
tion and abuse of those under whom
they hold office as to indicate that
their fidelity can not be trusted lor the
performance of their duties in a
manner creditable to the administra
tion, and who apparently assume they
may spend the time they owe the
public service in doing political
mischief. In the interest of good
government such office holders must
not be surprised if they are summarily
dealt with.
When I received vour letter I had
just finished reading a letter of vours
in which you explain to the citizens of
Mississippi your views on the currency
question. It seems to me you have in
that letter contributed in the best
possible style and in a most valuable
way to the fund of argument in favor
of sound money. I have never ceased
to wonder why the people of the
South, furnishing so largely as they
do, products which are exported for
gold, should be willing to submit to
the disadvantages and loss of silver
monometallism, and to content them
selves with a depreciated and fluctuat
ing currency, while permitting others
to reap a profit from the transmutation
of the prices of their productions from
silver to gold. I hope this letter of
yours will be given the widest possible
circulation, especially among our
Southern fellow-citizens, and that
they will be permitted to see the pitfall
which is directly before those who
madly rush toward the Dhantom lieht
of free, unlimited, and independent
silver coinage.
If we, who profess fealtv to the
Democratic party, are sincere in our
devotion to its principles, and if we
are right in believing that the ascen
dency of those principles is a guar
antee of personal liberty, universal
care for the rights of all, non-sectional,
American brotherhood, and manly
trust in American citizenship in any
part of our land, we should study the

If there are Democrats who suooose
that our nartv can stand on a platform
embodying such doctrine, either j
through its affirmative strength or
through the perplexity of our opponents
on the same proposition, or if there
are Democrats who are willing to turn
their backs upon their party association
in the hope that free and unlimited
and independent coinage of silver can
win a victory without party organiza
tion, they should deceive themselves no
longer nor refuse to look in the face
the results that will follow the defeat,
if not the disintegration, of the Demo
cratic party upon the issue which
tempts tbem from their allegiance. If
we should be forced away from our
traditional doctrine of sound and safe
money, our old antagonist will take
the field on the platform which we
abandon, ami neither the votes of
reckless Democrats nor reckless Repub
licans will avail to stay their easy
march to power. This is as plain as
anyih ng ciri possibly 1.
Ii, therefore, Incomes, the duty of
every Democrat, wherever he may be,
to consider what such a victory would
mean, and in the light of a proper
conception of its results he should
deliberately shape his course.
Yours, very truly,
Grover Cleveland.
REWARDS AND PUNISHMENTS.
The Lessons Taught By the Laws of
Nature Good For Man's Guidance.
Nature is sometimes recommended
as furnishing an example to man of
the proper method of dispensing re
1 - I - - 1 . r
warns auu punisnmenis. iature is
sure, prompt and inexorable. When
her laws are violated punishment falls
upon the offender, no matter what his
rank; when he obeys nature's laws he
is rewarded as by an abundant har
vest. But nature is not such a good
guide in this matter as might appear
from such a general consideration of
her system. Her rewards are blindly
made and take no account of motives.
The child who puts his hand in the
fire gets burned and learns not to do
it again. But the fire is without dis
crimination; it burns not only those
who arelessly or willfully expose them
selves to it, but the innocent who are
surrounded by flames not of their own
making, and even the brave firemen
who go to their rescue. As the rain
falls upon the just and upon the un
just, so nature's forces deal impartially
with the evil and the good.
The punishment lor violations of
nature's laws is too inexorable, and the
system cannot and should not be fol
lowed by man. He must discriminate
between those who are willful violators
of the law; those who are misled into
wrong doing and may be won back to
right living, and those whose careless
ness or misfortune has rendered them
liable to punishment. And man in
his experiments with systems of re
wards and punishments has found
moreover, that it is not always wise to
punish. He has to deal with human
nature, which is much more complex
than elemental substances. He finds
that punishment does not act merely
as a warning to apprise one ot the
danger of repeated violations of law,
but shat it sometimes irritates and ren
ders stubborn the man upon whom it is
visited and he finds also that it is al
most beyond his powers to "make the
punishment fit the crime." It is not
possible to do without it altogetner,
but it possible offenders are taken in
time they may be kept from doinj
that whi. h w.uld expose them to pun
ishment.
Rewards for well doing may, in
short be substituted, in part, for pun
ishments for evil doing.. This is espec
ially true of ordinary conduct where
there is no moral offense or crime in
volved. At one time schools were
managed almost exclusively on the
system of punishing pupils for the vio
lation of arbitrary laws; today the few
rules that are posted are founded upon
obvious reason, and their violations
are so infrequent that there is no fixed
code of punishment. On the other
hand rewards are frequently offered
for good behavior, dilligence and the
like, and the discipline maintained is
better than it was under the old sys
tem. In the management of children
the home system of rewards for good
behavior should not be made so obvi
ous or specific as to lead the child to
set more value on the reward than
upon approbation, but rewards should
be substituted as far as possible for
punishment.
Whether a child is kept from play
with his associates as a punishment
because he has neglected his lessons,
or is rewarded with freedom and in
dulged in some desire because he has
done well, may amount to the same
thing in the end, but it is better to
give him the idea that he is being re
warded for good conduct than to lead
him to the belief that some natural
right is being taken from him as pun
ishment for infractions of a rule ofcon
duct of which he cannot see the justice.
Children as well as grown people make
, excuses to and from themselves, and
lney naturally resent punisnmenr. as
savoring, at least, of injustice, ua
the other hand, they are grateful for
kindnesses and favors, and it is much
tetter to cultivale their gratitude than
their resentment. The child who is
habitually restrained and punished
may have his disposition spoiled and
be rendered more intractable than be
fore. Georgia is expecting
