Bismarck is one of the moat
talked of men of the time, yet few
people know how his family came
by its name. Bismarck is an
ancient castle near Stendal, on the
road from Cologne to Berlin, in the

Brandenberg. It received its name
because it defended the "Marca,"
! or boundary line formed by the
Kiver Biese at that point. Bieae

the possessor belonged. Excessive
lacing caused whole portions of the
liver to disappear. Others grow

THE LEE AONTJIKM".
The
History ef the Movement to Se
cure its Erec!ion.
The first association to raise
money tor the Lee monument was
organized on November 3, 1870,
with that unshrinking Confederate,
General Jubal A. Early, as pres.
dent, and S. Basse tt

secretary and treasurer,

neighborhood with its sombre
shades. But theie was uhick
jand euergy in the people
who had been spared that they
might see how heavy was band of
afHiction that had been laid upon
them, and there was love for the
great and good man who had com
manded the armies of the Con
federacy, and who had so heroically
shared the common fate of his
people as to challenge the admira
tion oi his enemies.
Poor as the South was, money
was sent from all parts of the
whilom Confederate States (and
none from abroad) until the Lee-
Monument Association had at its
command the sum of nearly $20,000.
The Board of Directors, composed
of the Governor, the Auditor and
Treasurer of the State, were au
thorized to invest the money, which
they did in Yirgina State bonds
and awaked developments.
About this time the patriotic
ladies organized the Lee Monument
Association ana witn characteristic
energy set to wort to raise iunds.
They met with great success and
soou placed 20,000 in the hands of:
that great philanthropist, W. W. After the surrender at Appomat
Corcoran, for investment, and he tox Lee returned to this house aud
made such good use of it that when occupied it until called to LexiDg

the meantime, owing to a decline ! the subseouent ve'ars the West,
in State bonds, the State Associa
tion found they only had 9,000.
Although the ladies had a majority
of the stock when the two associa-
tions united they demanded only ;
equal representation on the Exec
utive Board. They delegated their
representative force to Colonel
Archer Anderson, and at all subse
quent meetings he represented the
ladies. It was mainly due to the
efforts of ex-Governor Lee that the
two associations were united as
one, and that the work has

stands was waving with yellow

Lee took charge of the army ol

Johnston having been wounded at
the battle of Seven Pines. A year

Now it is 1 iid olf into avenue and

basement and three stories above ;

Notman Stewart and was occupied i
as his residence until 1.31, and at
his death was devised to Mr. John j
Stewart, of Brook Hill, to whose j
estate it now belongs. Early in
the war it was occupied by Gen.
Custis Lee, then a member of the
President's staff, and a number of
other officers. From the carriage ;
block in front of the house, in June,
1803, after the wounding of Gener
al Johnston at Seven Pines, Gener
al R. E. Lee mounted his horse aud
rode away to take command of the
Army of Northern Virginia. Soon
after that it became his house; a
home, however, that his exacting
duties seldom permittei

" Well," savs I, "I have gOtalan'? Twin City Daily for publication

that I don't reckon any one can
beat," and so I went in and
brought it out.
"Nonsense," neighbor, "says
he that is very inferior work.
If you should see what I can
do you would say I am right."
Conn1, now, what will you give
me to paint a pictur' of the
hare iso nateral that vour dogs
will bark at it?"
"I ain't got notliin" to spend
on picters," says I.
"Will you give me two dol

"No. I won't give you a
dollar."
"Well," says he, "I'll make a
bargain with you. "I'll paint it
and if it suits you. you can
have it for fifty cents. If it
don't suit you: I'll keep it."
"I agree."
He had some materials and at
it he went. The way he drawed
off that rabbit and slashed on
the paint was jest boy's piay.
He'd pick up a little paint here
and a little there off the board
he held on his thumb, and
almost before I knowed it he
had a likeness of that dead
rabbit hung up by the heels as
true as very natur itself.
As soon as I erot it done. I
said, "Boss, here's your money."
He pocketed it and away he
wen't. After awhile Squire
Sykes came in. The Squire
was a great man for picturs,
and when he set eyes on it he
said, "I declare, where did vou

says I.

Squire." He studied awhile,
Squire was sharp, he was and
finally said, "I'll give you ten
dollars."
"Wei', I was surprised, for I
thought his offer was a big one,
but I didn't let on that I thought
so, for I knowed he was good in
; a bargain and wouldn't offer
; more'n it was worth, so I told
j him I would think about it.
After he left, Sally and I took
supper off the rabbit I had shot,
and then set down. and looked at
the picture till we got tired a
lookin. She said laughing, if it
wasn't worth so much she might
cook it for breakfast.
Well we went to bed, and
rabbits and dollars danced in my
head all night. The first thing
in the morning I sat it up and
looked at it, and couldn't hardly
get off to work.; It was a mighty
hot day. When I came home at
night there wTas an awful smell
in the house.
"What on airth," smells so?"
says I.

Attempted Assassination.
Roper, N. C, May 26. A bold at
tempt at assassination was committed
here Saturday night, about ten o'clock.
Some unknown person fired a load of
buckshot at a party of colored people
standing in front of a Bhop, seriously
wounding four men and one woman.

mulatto about seventeen years old, and
is the wife of Lloyd Arnold, who is now
serving a term of ten years for killing
his .wife that he might marry this wo
man, which be did at earliest conve
nience after. As soon as he married
