BY Southern Routes That Fascinate the Tourist by Their Historic Interest and Attractions Among Them the Chesapeake Bay, Aptly Styled the ''American Mediterranean." (Manufacturer's Record.) The traveler of today is very fastid ious in his requirements. So rapid has been the progress made in transporta tion facilities on land and water, that the tourist for business or pleasure has been educated to expect the best of everything on his journey. The con trast between the modern and luxu rious passenger cars and the narrow, ill-ventilated, poorly constructed coaches in service as late as a decade ago, is almost as marked as that be tween the floating palaces carrying thousands of travelers on the Ameri can inland waters and the small, uoor-ly-finished and slow-going steamers which the public in very many in stances had to depend upon as late as the 8o's. Kor many years the Chesapeake bay has been one of the most popular routes for the traveling public in the world. This is owing to the natural beauties of what some have called the American Mediterranean, and the su perb service afforded by the Old Bay Line steamers. The Baltimore Steam Packet Co., which r.as o-vned and operated the Old Bay Line for over a half century, is truly an illustration of the progress made in water transportation. In its early days the public spirit characteristic of its policy was dis played by its management, who real ized that the fact that a liberal pat ronage depended on having the staunchest and swiltest vessels, the best appointments, and in furnishing every requisite for the comfort of travelers. As fast as improvements were made in marine architecture, they were adopted by the Old Bay Line. As a a consequence its fleet of vessels has always been maintained at such a high standard that it has occupied the fore most place in public favor. It is hardly necessary to speak of the Ala bama, a steamer which has already earned the title of the "Queen of the Chesapeake," being by far the swiftest and most palatial vessel that ever plied its waters; the Georgia, which has al most an equal reputation with the many thousands who yearly visit the North or South by this treat high way. Within the last year the Baltimore rMej.ru i acicet lo. has established a route between Baltimore and Rich mond by way of the Chesapeake bay anil the James river, which forms, without doubt , one of the most inter esting journe)s in this country. While the Chesapeake has many features of historic interest in addition to its nat ural beauties, one sees scarcely a point of land on the James which is not as- soriaicd with some levenrl nr nnm or ...i,;..u .1 . I. .u. . .- 1 wnicn uoes not mark the site ot a fiercely -foug lit battle, either in the ; last or present century. The soldiers! of three wars have struggled on its j banks. On Drewry's Bluff, rising j grim and high above its waters, arej still to be seen the fortifications dur ing the late war, which give the place the title of the "Gibraltar of America." More than one Southern mansion can be seen from the river, with walls! pierced by the cannon balls of the j Union or Confederate guns. From j the thicket around Jamestown and ; other colonial settlements the arrows ; of Powhatan's warriors came in vol-! leys as the bands of the Indian em-j peror attacked Capt. John Smith and his followers. The ruins of the first j church erected in America can still be I seen on Jamestown Island. The fam- nils m.innr hnncps nf linmlnn shirlfir ' - , men: to General Lee, the great leader j of the Confederacy, is erected in one ' of its parks, and to those who still cherish the memory of the "lost cause," the old Jefferson Davis man sion, with its collection of mementoes of Southern soldiers, has an especial attraction. But aside from the historic sur roundings, the ever-changing scenery along the river has a fascination to the lover of Nature, for it is here that she can be seen in her most picturesque garb. As the service of the Baltimore Steam Packet Co. is direct between Baltimore and Richmond, the traveler has the benefit of a trip entirely by ' water, without transfer. The llrgina, ', an elegant side-wheel vessel, affording j ample accommodations for 300 pas ; sengers, leaves Baltimore Mondays, j Wednesdays and Fridays at 4 p. m., ar riving at Richmond at to o'clock next morning.

DECORATION DAY. and BY ERNEST M 8AKFEY. The piue and palm are one to-day Beneatli a halcyon sun, The colors of the blue and gray Have blended into one; The bayonets, to plowshares turned, In peaceful sods are thrust. And cannon in the field inurned Their mouths are stopped with rust. One brotherhood rules all the land, One nation day and night, As side by side again we stand Like those who scale a height And looking down across the fields When autumn pours her horn. We bless the largess peace now yields, The cotton and the corn. No more shall these our banners be In strife fraternal raised, From lake to gulf, from sea to sea, This message far is blazed: "We mourn our dead, our loved and lost, With tears for all who fell; The blue sky's depth, the gray stars' host Shall be thalr sentinel." For Lexington and Concord town Still in the distance shine, And Washington still marches down. And ruthless Brandy wiue ; And Grant and lee in silence rest, To put all feud to scorn, While spring from out the battle's breast The cotton and the corn. Charity in Judging Character. Hasty judgment of the actions of others is dangerous and often unjust. We measure too much by some super ficial appearance, and coi demn hastily when, if we but knew, and understood the motives and reasons, we would warmly approve. We sometimes say of some one, "That pain, sorrow, or loss has not deeply affected him." But we do not know. It is like the death of a few of the soldiers in front of a regiment. The broken ranks close up again into the solid phalanx and the loss is not apparent. There may be no disorganization, no surren der, no craving for pity, no display of despair. It is like the calm, dazzling play of the waves warmed by the morn ing's sun after a night of storm and disaster. There is no sign of the wreck; the tide has carried the debris away far out on the ocean; the treach erous water has swallowed all signs and tokens of the night's awful work. We see only the fairness of the morning, not the suffering of the night. Let us be charitable in our judgment and con demn not when we do not know.

A Little Corporal Punishment is Nec essary Now and Then to Restrain Children Unless They are Made to Respect and Obey Parents They Will Not Make Good Citizens. An esteemed friend requests that I write a letter about how to raise a fam ily of chiidren so that they will all be have, the boys make good citizens, good husbands, good fathers and the girls make good wives and good moth ers. "Is it possible to do this?" he asks. When the lawyers determine that a thing cannot be legally done they say it is "ultra vires," which means be yond strength. In the first place, it is not possible to devise any plan or method by which all children can be raised or trained to do right and be have. It is "ultra vires" and even if it were possible, it is "ultra vires" with me to make it known. Ever since the failure of Adam to raise Cain, this thing of raising all the children to be good has been an unsolved problem. Whether the difference in children of the same family is due to the laws of heredity or the doctrine of election or to different environments and associa tions or to the devil himself we cannot tell, but one or more of these causes have been at work. My wife and I were discoursing about this last night and in all our acquaintance of half a century we could not name a single family of six or more children of whom all were good. Anxiety and grief and trouble because of children, is the com mon lot. It began with Adam and came on down to Noah and Jacob and David and Solomon, and yet these men had the special favor of God and were blessed by Him in every way ex cept in the conduct of some of their children. Poor old Eli, the high priest and judge of Israel for forty years, was cursed with two bad boys and God at the last cursed him for not restraining them. "There shall not be an old man in thy house forever, and all the increase of thy house shall die in the flower of their age." Be cause his sons made themselves vile and he restiained them not. What an awful curse was thai! These sons of Belial! This word means worthless, bad, naughty, vile, and fits many a iiad boy in our day. It is a fact that re flects on our sex that the sons of Belial are mentioned more than a dozen times in the scriptures, but there is no daughter of Belial. "He restrained them not." Well, the good old man did talk to them and reprove them most earnestly. "Why do ye such things? It is no good report that I hear. Ye make the Lord's people to transgress. If one man sin against another the judge shall judge him, but if a man sin against the Lord who shall entreat for him?" I wonder what kind of restraint the Lord expected or required of Eli. It was not talking or pleading with them of course, for he did that. I wonder if the old man didn't experiment on the modern Atlanta plan of raising the boys on his love and their honor, for fear of breaking their spirits. It makes an old man very tired to read the wise utterances of the modern Solons against corporal punishment of bad boys in the public schools. I had rather go and ask the convicts in the chaingang for an opinion. Nine tenths of them would say I began in disobedience and was not restrained. The lamentable fact is that at least one-fourth of the boys at these schools have no restraint at home and if they are not punished at school they get it nowhere, and so these sons of Belial go to the bad very early and become victims to the rigor of the law and the courts. There is many a boy in these schools who is right now on his way to the chaingang. These Solons say that corporal punishment is brutal and barbarous and must give away to the progress and refinement of the age. About what time did the youths of this generation become better than those of half a century ago? Read the daily papers and answer. How many houses in Atlanta are in mourning for the bad conduct of their boys? What good results can come from expulsion of a bad boy from school? He is not wanted anywhere by decent people, and so he associates with his kind and becomes worse and soon comes to grief and brings sorrow to his kin dred. Obedience to law, to government to parents is absolutely necessary for the peace and welfare of society. This obedience is enforced among bad men by the fear of the law. It cannot be enforced among bad boys except by fear of corporal punishment. Their honor or their shame is too feeble a factor to be considered. Obedience must bgin early, even in infancy. My little two-year-old grandchild loves to play in the dirty coal box. "Caro line, you must not do that," her noth- j er says, and enforces her command by slapping her mtie nanas ana men washing them. That is corporal pun ishment, and is just as sevete to the little child as the rod is to the boy of ten, and both are right and both effec- tual. The enforcement of obedience in early childhod saves all necessity for punishment in later years, and it saves, a sight of scolding. What a world of worry bad children are to other people: W hat a comlort are good ones at home and abroad. Sime mistaken parents say that their boys are too high strung to be whipped Yes. and those boys are in danger of being still higher strung when in a fit of passion they kill somebody. The poet Shelley said "Obedience is the bane of genius, virtue, freedom and truth; makes slaves cf men and of the human frame a mechanical automa ton." He was one of these highstrung sublimated creatures whose rule of life was to do as he pleased, to follov his own sweet will. What a miserable life he lived, and was drowned when only thirty years old. He alarmed his schoolmates by his storms of passion. Was expelled from Oxford when nine teen. The same year he eloped with a hotel keeper's daughter and married j her at Gretna Green. Three years later he abandoned her and she drown ed herself from grief. Soon after this ' L- : 1 .1 ... : . 1. ...1 I lie luaincu auuiucr wuiuau, wuu vmimi he had been living previous to his first wife's death. He was the inimate friend of Lord Byron and Leigh Hunt, and they witnessed the cremation of his body and deposited the ashes near the grave ot Keats, in the P.rotestant cemetery at Rome. No, I cannot tell anybody how to raise their children. It is a fearful responsibility. I have known preach ers to undertake the task and fail, and the congregation smiled inwardly at the preacher's failure to raise his own in an exemplary and orthodox man ner. I said something about the laws of heredity coming in as a factor in the rearing of children. I knew two good men in Rome before the war who had a like number of boys growing up, and these two families were close neighbors, and their boys mingled to gether and went to the same school and Sunday-school and church. One set of these boys was good, manly, in dustrious and a comfort and an honor to their parents. The other set was bad, mischievious and untruthful. In fact they were several times caught stealing or with stolen goods in their possession. And yet the parents in both families were always exemplary in their conduct and conversation. I asked Dr. Miller how he accounted for that. "Heredity," said he. "One set of these boys have bred after their grandfather, who was a very bad man. I knew him well, and he was a terror to the community. These grandsons have started out on his line. Bad blood in horses will sometimes skip a generation and then crop out. Just so it is with human blood." Can it not be eradicated? "Oh, yes,yr he re plied. These boys should have had more restraint in infancy and youth. It takes more for that sort. The whip pings they are getting now come too late, and I fear will not reform them. But most any disposition to vice can be reformed if begun in time. It is the same in animal and vegetable creations. You can cut off a kitten's tail from one litter to another until they will ultimately be born without tails. You can dwarf a peachtree or enlarge a tomato." Now, while I have my settled con victions on these things, I do not wish anybody to suspect that there has been any brutality at our house. Some of our boys received corporal punish ment at rare intervals. Others had none not a stroke, except a spank or two from their mother. Like most parents, we thought that other peo ple's children needed more than ours. But even the punishment received by them they have not forgotten and still talk of it as a big thing. Now, ai to the girls, of course they should not suffer corporal punishment in the schools. In the first place, they do not need it. Secondly, if they did, the school house is no natural and suitable place to receive it, and if there was, it cannot be found with propriety. Bill Arp, in Atlanta Constitution. Henderson.

The Southern States Undoubtedly Possesses Superior Advantages Over All Others, Sections for the Utilization of Our Native Talents 1 and Capabilities. Washington, D. C, May 1, '97. The opportune time has arrived for the young men nf the South. They occupy an important position to the future development of that vast terri tory of an inexhaustible riches. It is earnestly hoped they will take right hold of the matter, master its details and assist in advancing the industrial progress of the country. In every section, every district, every county of the Southarn States exist advantages for the young man belter chances than anywhere on the face of the globe. During the past few years large numbers of young men surren dered their interests iu the South went into other and, as they believed then, broader fields for the employ ment of their talents and capabilities. That movement of the young men, as well as others, has reached a conclu sion. No more is the South sending people to aid in trying to build up other sections. We have reached a full realization of the fact that the South possesses superior advantages over all other sections for the utiliza tion of our native talent, as well as that of other sections. We not only have room for all of our own people, but several million of desirable immi grants. The young men of the South ern cities and towns are , rapidly awakening to their duty and privilege, and are casting about for some avenue through which they can assist in the levelopment of their respective locali ties. oung mens business leagues are being organized, immigration and improvement societies started and successfully officered by young men, business enterprises are being estab- ished by young men, farms opened by young men, lactones located ana managed by young men, and gener ally the young men of the South are ably participating in the various impor tant functions which will bring pros perity and improvement to that sec tion. Ihese young men who are pre paring to come South from the North, are the future business men of that sec tion. The South is being shaped by these people, and the activity mani fested and the experience gained by the young men of to-day forms no minor part in the success of the South. They are disciplining their abilities to take up and fill the places they must necessarly be called upon to oc cupy. It is the duty of each an i every young man of the South to have his proper position in this matter and un falteringly take hold of the opportu nity, using all honorable means to bet ter his condition. He is entitled to a position in the commercial as well as social avenues of the South, and that position is ju-t what he himself makes The stranger, the homeseeker, the tourist is attracted to a section by the activity of the people in placing be fore them the s,)t! al advantages of that section, and th -.ung men are cap able of eugagii., in an important line of work in that direction. The West was largely settled by young men irom tne n.ast. ine south s prosperity will be greatly advanced by he young men of the South. This era of remarkable push and progress on all lines of betterment requires con stant and intelligent effort, and our young men are rapidly adjusting themselves to the situation and are to be commended for their enterprise and quick perception of the necessities of the advanced period in which they are iying. The young man of to-day without capital or influence should realize that there is in store for him, provided he manipulates his career properly, a prominent plate in the social, com mercial and financial connections of the South. It is hoped this circular will be of some service in stimulating the young men of the South and encouraging them on to prospeious and contented citizenship; that they will weigh the subject-mailer, talk it over with their friends and associates, and act upon these suggestions. I here is not a community in the bDUth that does not possess the elements fjr numerous suc cesses to the young men. Let the young men get together, decide them selves what they can and will do to promote their position and prospects. It the farmers sons study the agri cultural situation learn anvanced modern methods; see what other sec tions are doing and endeavor to sur pass them; study the markets, both do mestic and foreign; learn how and when to reach them and when to sell. Let the young men of our cities and towns educate themselves up to the re quirements of the day. Let eveiy young man of the South ask himself and answer this question, viz: "What am I going to do to assist in advancing the best interest of the sec- j tion in which I live, and thereby pro- j mote my own personal interests?" j The young men of the country trib- : utary to the Southern Railway are j hereby advised that this company is j interested in the welfare of its patrons, ! realizing that the success of the peo- : pie along its lines means prosperity ! for the road. A successful people means a contented people; a pros perous community means at the same time a homogeneous community. The Land and Industrial Depart ment of the Southern Railway is or ganized expressly for the purpose of helping to advance the best interests of the people along its lines. That includes the young men, and ihe un dersigned will le glad to c operate with 1 hem, as far as is consistent land practical, in building ui the country. We wish ihe young men of South success in all their laudable the en- ter prises and undertakings. M. V. Richard, Land and Industrial Agent, Southern Railway Park Row Philosophy.
