worship, join in rendering thanks to the
giver of every good and perfect gift for the
bounteous return that! have rewarded our

for the other blessings Ithat have showered
upon us from an open hand.

beseech the Lord to so incline the hearts of
our people unto Him that He will not leave,
us nor forsake us as a hat'ion, but will con

BILL AEP'S LETTER.
WILLIAM IS AVBRSK TO Alf OTHBB
lANQUINAItY CONFLICT,
Tb World to Hiza Stmt Vow Oo
tenttd ftttd Happy.
All if peace and hnnonj about Atlanta bow,
but I havtn't forgotten whn Bhennan'jrM
throwiBg Ids nnfeeliBK ihell all over the rfrf.
Saoh a panic, inch a stamped, auch helpleti
terror among woman and children I never witV
nsafed. I had gotten my wife and. little chil
dren away, but I had to tr, and tbeacene
waa m awful aa the picture of death on the pale
hore. Everybody and everything that could
more was moving. Sheila are not eo terribly
deetrnc iv but as Bia John taid that day, ther
are the "most ptrilyz'uig thing in the world.
I mt him en Decatur street, makipg (rack to
ward 'Stona Mountain, carrying his thr e hun
dred pounds of flesh moat of it in front Big
beads of perspiration wers on hi forehead and
he wag carrying hia wit in one band and an old
earpet ba in the other. "Where now, rat
friend?" aid I. "Anywhere in tbia direction,"
said he, with a ditreiDg snjile. "I ara bound
to keep ahead of 'em, the infernal devils.
They don't trarel fast, thank the Lord."
"Where U your cart and steer?" laid I. "8pld
'em sold 'f-m to a frea nigger for two hundred
dollars confederate money, aNrat enongh to
keep me in Tittles and whiaky for a week."
"And then what7" said I. "Jin- the cnOferlpt
camp at Decatur," said he. and he moppel the
sweat off hia head and face with his big ban
dana handkerchief. Another Fhell sang
through'th air and Big John moved on with
alacritv, never even said goodbye, but halloed
back," ""Pray for me. Bill." The neit week I
got him a place in the ordnanoe department at
Macon under General Howell Cobb and left
him sitting on a box full of guns. He placed
two boxes close together for a bed find said he
should sleep on his arms.
The shells kept coming on making their
paraV-oles and singing and aijzing in the cif- ,
enmambient air. I had sorter gotten used to
shells in old Virginia and so ventured to walk
down half a mile on Walton street to gee what
bad become of an old uncle and his family who
lived there. His four boys -were all in tho war,
but m? uncle and aunt and their only daughter
lived there. I found them huddled up in the
basement, for a ehell ha-l already torn part of
the roof away and they had moved moved
lower down, and wero wailing, waiting, he said,
to see what the Lord or th devil would do.
Tliey escappd unharmed. One of their absnt
1-oys was killed and another was trimmed up,
but that was the common lot. But now every
body ia happy except ome everybody except
the very rich and the very poor. That ia why
old Augur dident want to do either. Just the
expression of the people you meet meefr on
the trains or at the depots or the fair grounds
or on the streets or in the churches. Hotv
m'jch more pleasant it is than a few months '
ago. How happy are the women and children.
How cordial the greetings between tho north
and the south the blue and the gray. The
fact is, when our northern brethren come down
here and eat our b 'jeqned meat and receive
our hospitality anfrtook at our beautiful women
they are nearly ready to apolog ze for everp
thing tliey have done to us or e;iid about us.
I've been waiting for them to apologize for
twenty-five ytarf., but they say they can't do it
cons stently until they bouin to pension our
soldiers and our widows and orphans. I believe
they will pas a pension, law for our soldiers
about the time they are all dead, for it Is a faot
that unpensioned soldiers do die.
"Time cats down all,
Both great and Bruall, '
Except a pensioned 6oldier."
An i-usuraueo man told me that a man who
was drawing a pension could get his life in
sured for half price.
It is curious how short sighted are the wisest
and the. greatest men. Calhoun and Davis
and Stevens and Henry Clay and John
Randolph all said that no races of people
could ever live together in peace unless one
wa in subjection aud under the civil dominion
of the other. That has proved a mistake. We
are living together now on terms of civil equal
ity and getting along fairly well. Gtddings
and rhillips and all the abolition leaders said
that just es soon as a war broke out tho negroes
would rise np ana Kin ana ntrrn ana octrroT--
all oyer the south. They did nothing ! of the
kind. -.Nathaniel Hawthorne said: ' I am for
the war, but I don't understand what wo are
fight'n; about or what good results can come
from it. I rejoice that the old union is
smashed. We never were one people anl never
will be If we pummel the south ever so hard
they will love us none the better."
But the union is not f-imshed. It is stronger
than ever and Dana Kays the nation will have
to look to the south, for its preservation pre
servation from anarchy and isms that seem
to breed and fester and flourish in the
north. And Chauncey Depew ays the south is
fuller than ever of the old spirit the old flg
and the old d sire for an ppropriation. Yes,
confound him, I like Chauncey, but why
dident he mention in at the north got 95 per
cent of all th app: opriation-, all tho money,
that is spoil on the ainiy an 1 navy and public
printing and supplies of every kind, wi die all
we get is a little custom house and postoffice
here and there and for those we have to take a
nor. hern architect and build it with northern
ston-3 or brick and rill it with northern furni
ture. Confound 'em, dogo;i. They throw a
sop to us once- in a while, just like throwing a
bone to a dog. N'-ver mind. If they do get
up a war wi h some foreign country they will
want us to do the fighting and we expect to
have it, to do, hut they will have to apolog'"?
and he.il up the old ro:e first- Now mark my
prediction. If a war docs become imminent
between this country and any one of the
great powers, some fellow from Massa
chusetts or Tom R-'cd from Maine will intro
duce a bill to give pension j "nd back pay to the
southern soldiers. Up to- date thcie has b en
paid f 2, 000, 00 '),000 in pensions since the war
and the Grand Army in howling for more, and
Mr. Cleveland aud Carlisle have to keep issuing'
bonds to keep up with it. '
But let, the procession proceed. Mr. Lochren
says he thinks that some of the 'pensioners will
begin to die off next year. Some of them are
moving down to Georgia end buying land and
building towns in the pincy woods. Thai's all
right. We welcome any northern man who
comes here to s'ay. They are most always
Kood citizens. The mean ones don't come.
They bad rather stav up there and abuse us. A
man told me that about half of the G. A. R.'s
who came to the Louisville encampment the
other day were foreigner, who dident speak
English and came with cm shirt and $2 and
dident change either till thev got back borne.
But we are harmonising ar- last and we want
everybody from up the: e to com? down to our
fliow. There are a good many signs of coming
peace and good will" bitween the Sf ctions. - A
northern democrat tent my wife a photograph
nf Lincoln as he was away back in the fifties
Lincoln in tho woods, Lincoln tha rail splitter
and says he has bad it thirty-threa years. It
is a re markable picture the most earnest and
serious and tho ugliest white man I ever saw
on a cardboard. It is strangely attractive, and
you never get tired looking at it. No wonder
h? captiva'ed the common people. Mr. Kulile
man writes that he wants ns to be reconc led to
old Abe. Well, we are. Tlte son!h admired him
and reveres his memory. He was the best pub
lic man the north had. He whs honest, smeere
And b"g beared. But from all the Shermans
may tho go Lo:d deliver us.
And now I think I feel better. General Pal
mer made me mad in his Grand Army speech
at Louisville. Ha is a bra aud a demagogue
and I'm bound to get even with him and his
sort. Bill, Am? in Atlanta Constituti3n.

"I have a dog," said a minister, who
had just heard" a precocious crow tory,
"who is very sagacious. One Sunday
he followed me to church and eat
among tho people and watched my
movements in the pulpit. That after'
noon, I heard a terrible howling in my
back yard, and of course I went to see
what it meant. I found my dog wa9
in a woodshed, standing on his hind
legs in a dry goods box. He held
down a torn almanac with one paw and
gesticulated with the other, while he
6wayed his head and howled as to afi
audience of four other dogs even more
sadly than I had done in the morn
ing."
