I suppose vou have all heard of
b I Gen. Stonewall Jackson, one of the
j bravest soldiers of the Confedera -
cy. Little Sorrel was his favorite
horse. Th- General had other
horses, some of them much finer
than this one, but none ever took
the same place in his affections.
He rode the faithful animal in
nearly every battle in which he
was engaged, during the war, and
he was mounted on Little Sorrel
wnen he received the wounds of
which he died, at the battle of
Chancellorsville.
The first appearance of Little
Sorrel was at Harper9 Ferrd, where
he was captured by th3 Confeder
ate army, along with a whole car
load of horses that were bound for
Washington for the use of the
Government. Two of them were
bought bv Gen. Jackson, and the
smaller one he called Fancy,
though he does not seem to have
been generally known by the
name.
Fancy was a well built animal
and always kept fat and in good
condition notwithstanding the
hard work and privation he en
dured. He never seemed to feel
tired oy the long marches, and his
gait was as easy as the rocking of a
cradle.
He had the most beautiful eyes,
large and soft like a gazelle's, and
so intelligent and expressive that
he could almost speak with them.
When the command halted for
rest Little Sorrel would lie down
like a dog. His master made a
great pet of him, and many an ap
ple he received from the General's
hand.
Little Sorrel had really a happy
time all through the war until the
terrible battle of Chancellorsville.
Then he had the preat misfortune
to lose his master, whom he loved
so dearly, and for a time he was
lost, but he was found by a Con
federate soldier and sent home to
Gen. Jackson's family in North
Carolina. There he lived for many
years. Nothing was too good, you
may be sure, for old Sorrel. He
passed his time in the greenest of
pastures. For a long time he was
the riding horse of the old minis
ter, Gen. Jackson's father-in-law.
It must have been a change in
deed, and no doubt he found it
dull work logging along to the
country churches after all the ex
citement of battles. Bui aid Sor
rel had a contented mind, and he
was quite happy. Sometimes tne
thought of his master and the sol
diers who had been so devoted to
him made him sad, but then he
diverted himself in various wavs
One of these was to let himself
out of his stable, lor he could let
down bars and lift latches with his
mouth just as well as a men with
hie hands, and then he would go to
the doors of all the other horses
and mules, let each one out and
march off, followed by all the
rest, like a soldier leading his
command, to the green fields of
grain on the farm, where they
would eat as much as they wanted.
You see, old Sorrel was not selfish.
He wanted to give all the other
horses pleasure as well as to take
it himselr. He would have thought i
it a mean iriek to leave them shut
up while he was off, enjoying a hol
iday. Fences were no obstacle to him.
He could life off the top bars with
his nose until they were low en
ough to iump over.
Of course he did a great deal of
mischief, but he was such a pet
that he had his own way in every
thing, and no one was ever allowed
to punish him for his freaks. So
he lived, honored and respected,tilJ
he was over thirty years old, and
then when . he died his skm vas
stuffed and mounted,and he stands
now in the library of the Soldiers'
Home in Richmoud, where some
of you may perhaps see him. Ex-

. , - T . , iuiueh for its restoration as a stau
a recent decision Judge Bak-i i ,
Cv -' !(lar:l M rril la 1 1 n ct ma. Mini a.-..
jr, f the United States Circuit
i Court. for Indiana, considers
whether it is to the interests of
labor to encourage lawlessness
during strikes or at other times.
and reaches the conclusion that j
labor would be one of the first vic
tims of the triumph of might over
right. "If society were over
thrown." he says'and men turned
baci into conditions of anarchy.as
they were in large measure during
the dark ages, when
po er and
force made right, the condition of
the laboring man would not be
bettered. If such were the condi
tions of society, the man or the
men with great intellectual power
and great wealth would become the
masters of the laboring would bo
i. .i, , .. .
little better than a slave ." A
saults upon property to compel
concessions are de lared to be in
effect robbery. ''Whoever com
pels me," he says, "by force or
terroism, to give up one dime of
aiv money or one dime's worth of
my property is equally guilty,
whether it be the man who meets
me on the street orner in the
night time or an organized band
ot strikers who take possession of
property and deprive me of its
U6e."
But the worst result is the gen
eral demoralization. Men are led
to contempt of human right. "It
has been said on the lloor of the
United States Senate," says the
Judge, "that the laborer has a sort
of equitable lien on the property
of the man for whom he works
whose money brought the proper
ty, together with the right of per
petual employment. It may do
for men that are reckless of the
welfare of human society who
care nothing for its peace and good
order to imperii life, property
and liberty, and perpetuity of our
institutions by teaching such doc
trines, but the Judge who tolerates
it ought to be stripped of his gown
and be driven from the sacred
temple of justice." Old fashioned
common sense like this is not un
welcome at a time like this when
men in high place use language
that saps the very basis of sound
morals.
Bob Peak'N Letter
It has been sometime since 1
have asked the indulgence of the
Courier but will indulge in in
dulgences again. Notwitnstand-
ing the tardiness of the U. S. Sen
ate and the course of David B.
Hill in regard to the tariff reform
movement yet in the face of all
this tomfoolery I am feeling good
over the prospect of democratic
success and perpetuation of demo
cratic dominations. I have said
and see nothing to change my
opinion that President Cleveland
is the ablest statesman in the
United States if not in the world.
I have always endorsed his ad
ministration as strictly democrat
ic and therefore honest and al
ways safe in honest Grover's care.
Democratic principles are eternal
and the name Grover Cleveland is
immortal. Why ? Because he
has made a record that wfll live
in the archivis of the nation and
in the hearts and mines of the
American people as long as there
is one lett to grace the American
soil. Language fails me when I
attempt to discern this great man
and the son of American paren
tage, Notwithstanding the many
silly and uncalled for epithets
that have been hurled at him
about his financial policy, on the
4th day of March 1897 when turns
over the office which he now so
ably fills he will be more popular
than he was on the 8th Nov. 1892.
During his administration Silver
will be fully restored to its proper
recognitionand both gold and sil
ver will be fully restored to its
proper recognition and both gold
and silver will be coined without
any undue discrimination against
-ji . , . &
either metal. Grover loves 8UV
a much as any i.her American
citizen ought to, and will do as
- - .... mvuiuui ao ail
man in the world. These are no
prophecies, but only predictions
made in good faith. Don't con.
demn for false assertian until you
j are sure I have massed the mark at
which I aimed. I will now come
to the greatest hero of North Car
olina, and that man is Matt. Y.
Kans'Mn, now gracefully filling a
chan- in the U. S. Senate. A&o
ciatfd with him is Thomas Jeffer
son Jarvia. 15oth ar n hniiAr f.i
Xorth Carolina. The question now
if, shall they both remain in the
Senate, or shall one be relieved,
and if so, which one ? I prefer
that both remain as Senators,
either of whom will represent
j. "" -
.lully aa any cstern man without
any discrimination as to section
nast or west. They are both hon
est and could not afford to do oth
erwise. Why try to turn down
either when both aie unobjection
able and abl, honest patriots ? It
seems such a course would be nn
wise. Let both senators be their
owe successors for at least ona
term, and if w.j see they don't tote
tair, it is a very easy matter to get
rid of the lame duck. Not that I
love Gov. Thorn less, but I love
Gen. Matt. more. Consulting my
own feelings, I would not see Matt,
displaced to give any man in the
good old State a place, for various
reasons. He is eminently qualified
and has practice enough to know
exactly how, when and where to
strike, and never tails to do it. He
has done more in the U. S. Senate
v .lK . r
joi i. j. man any senator ever
did. He talks less and gets more
than any Senator on the lloor. He
exerts the greatest influence with
the executive of both parties than
any Senator N. C. ever had in
Washington, and is now the strong,
est administration Senator belong
ing to that august body; yet with
such a record I hear some would
be democrats say turn down old
Matt and give Jarvis a chance. I
am more than willing to leave both
right where they are, but will nev
er consent to see Gen. Matt's place
vacated to give any man I ever
saw the place. Sn'h a course
would be homicide to the old Ro
man and suicide to North Caroli
na. I have adopted this course
and mean to stick to it that I will
support no man for either house
of the Legislature that will ot
declare for Ransom. Our next is
a very important Legislature, It
elects both United States Senatois
which very seldom occurs, and
democracy should exercise sound
judgment or we may get in an an
archist from down about Golds
boro and then we would be in a
mess. Let every democrat do his
full duty now and hereafter and
all will be well for our state and
nation, otherwise evil awaits us.
Hurrah for Cleveland, Ransonu
and the eternal principles of Dem
ocracy and that will include the
Courier. Bor Peak.
