Hon. H. W. Hilliard in Montgomery.
We felt deeply interested in the an
nouncement that Mr. Hilliard would
lecture in Montgomery on the life and
times of Hon. Win. L. Yancey, both
because the theme was a great one
which no one could handle jvith more
power and effect than Mr. Hillard,
and the object was to secure funds to
erect a grand mausoleum on Capitol
Hill to perpetuate the gallant deeds
and self sacrifices of the confederate
dead.
We are indebted to some kind
friend for a copy of the Montgomery
Advertiser front which we clip the
following brief account of the lecture
aud other proceedings. Of course it
is impossible to give any idea of the
orator's thrilling and often touching
sentences in a brief synopsis, but
some who heard him in the great con
flict with Yancey, were present and
were doubtless impressed with h's
splendid oratorical sentences and de
lighted to see that age has not yet
impaired his bright discerning facul
ties, liis tenacious memory, the accu
racy of his judgment, the glow of his
imagination or the rich tones of his
voice. Mr. Hilliard is a remarkable
man mentally and physically. The
following is the account of the meet
ing which we copy from the Mont
gomery Advertiser of the 15th in
stant.
A GREAT EVENT.
IIKN'RYW. HILLIARD 03.' WILLIAM L.
YANCEY—THE LIVING WHIG LEAD
ER SPEAKS ELOQUENTLY OF
THE DEAD DEMOCRATIC
CHAMPION.
The audience in the Theatre last
evening gave undoubted evidence of
the great interest felt in the proposed
Confederate monument. There was
an out-pouring of people and surely
any orator would have felt inspired
in such a presence. The occasion was
a lecture bv Henry W. Hilliard, one of
Alabama’s former public servants, of
reputation coextensive with the Un
ion. His theme was the life a id times
of the greatest orator America has
ever produced, Montgomery’s citizen,
Alabama’s loyal son and the South
ern States ever faithful champion,
Wm. Lowndes Yancey. The object
was to add to the fund now being
rai^ld for the purpose of building a
monument in honor of the Confeder
ate dead. Such a combination of or
ator, subject and object could not
fail to be attractive anywhere in Ala
bama, and especially here where in
addition to desire to aid the cause
there vas-great personal interest felt
in the living and the dead orator.
Before the lecture began Mrs. Good-
wyn, who is always ready to do her
full part in aid of any good cause, by
reqnest of the committee of manage
ment, after introduction by Mayor
Reese, recited Father Ryan’s grand
poem, “The sword of Lee.” Every
sentence was distinctly and musically
uttered and every heart in that vast
audience was in unison with the fair
lady asshe recited the poem sothrilling-
lv eloquent of the fame and name of the
immortal soldier of the South. As
she closed the house fairly rang with
round after round of applause.
Ex-Governor Watts, who is so close
ly identified with the history of Ala
bama in the stirring {hues immediate
ly preceding and during the stormy
war period, advanced to the front,
and in his own impressive manner,
said:
Ladies and Gentleman:
The pleasing duty has been assign
ed me to introduce to you to-night,
one who, long, ago, as member of
Congress, lawyer and orator, charmed
the listening ear of the public by the
magic of his tongue.
The occasion which calls him here
adds greatly to the pleasure I feel.
The name of Win. Lowndes Yancey
thirty years ago was the synoniin of
all that, was grand eloquent. Grand
in person, with his flashing eye, mel
lifluous accents and fiery enthusiasm,
and an enunciations© admirable, that
every word and every syllable, each
word he uttered was distinctly heard.
He was the embodiment of what
Garrick called the perfect orator and
actor; he spoke even fiction as though
it were truth, and truth as truth.
Henry W. Hilliard, the orator to
night, was a match for Yancey in his
prime. Often have I listened, en
tranced, to their mellow tones when
pitted as opponents in debate. They
were pares inter pares, et inter priinis-
ssimos. pares.
But the interest of this occasion is
greatly heightened by the fact that
Wm. L. Yancey's name will go down
to posterity indissolubly linked with
the matchless deeds of our heroic dead,
in whose honor the monument on
yonder hill is to be erected. The pur
pose of Mr. Hilliard’s presence here
now is to aid in raising that monu
ment, whose peak will kiss the first
rays of the morning sun, fit emblem
to remind the passers-by, in years to
come, of those who died in liberty’s
cause.
I have the honor and the pleas
ure, ladies and gentleman, to intro
duce to you Henry W. Hilliard. Thir
ty years ago his form and face and
voice were familiar to Montgomery.
Then his brow was like the raven’s
dawn, though now it is silvered with
the frosts of age. His words to-night
will show that the fire of genius still
burns in his heart and brain.
Mr. Hilliard was received in a very
cordial manner testifying to the warm
regard still entertained for him in his
old home. -He began his remarks by
saying that Pericles uttered a true
sentiment when he said that a coun
try should always honor and erect
memorials to its heroes. In that spir
it he accepted the invitation of the
committee to lecture in behalf of the
monument to be erected here in hon
or of the Confederate dead—of men
who lost their lives in defending their
native land againt invading armies.
Let the monument be erected here on
Capitol Hill where its lofty summit will
greet the sight of every Alabam
ian as he approaches the city. As
every Athenian could see the tomb of
Themistocles as he approached the
place of his burial, so should every
Alabamian as he approaches Mont
gomery behold the monument erected
by loving hands and devoted hearts
to those who fell in defense of the
Southern cause.
Mr. Hilliard then went into a brief
review of the stirring events in the
history of the old Whig and Demo
cratic fmrties. He graphically de
scribed the Harrison campaign, which
result d in a Whig triumph, and took
occasion to pay a handsome tribute
to the late Gov. Fitzpatrick, who was
a' Democratic elector, while he was
the Whig elector. Pope Walker,
Cochran, Bullock, Belser, Elmore,
Goldthwaite, of the Democrats, and
Hopkins and Chillon of the Whigs, all
now gone to rest, were beautifully and
touchingly referred to. But the cen
tral figure of the group of Democrats
was William Lowndes Yancey. He
possessed all the qualities to make a
tribune of the p*" 0 ?!®- He was a
bom leader of men, and his followers
would go any length where he led, no
matter how great the risk or fearful
the danger. As an orator he was tran-
scendently great. His voice, which
was under his absolute control, his
figure erect and imposing, and his
bearing in public and private conspir
ed to make him great. Mr. Hilliard
said, having always been personal
friends but never political allies, he
knew his great qualities and what he
considered to be his faults—faults al
ways of judgment, but not of patrio
tism. No man was more patriotic
than Mr. Yancey, or actuated by a
higher sense of duty and conviction.
Mr. Yancey was essentially jealous of
the powers of the Federal Govern
ment. He wanted them to be the
very least possible: with too much re
striction, in Mr. H’s judgment, to
properly administer a great govern
ment. Mr. Yancey’s distrust of the
government and belief that in the
Union the rights of the South would
cour
(Mr. H.) believed the South’s security
was in the Union, and on this issue
they had many discussions. The great
discussions in this district, so well re
membered. were then described, and
revived many recollections of those
stirring times, for many of his audi
tors had often heard both the great
orators. He referred to their first
meeting in Congress, when Mr. Y. was
a member from the Wetumpka dis
trict, and lie from the Montgomery
district, and of their first clash, when
Mr. H. defended Mr. Webster from
aspersions cast upon him and Mr. Y.
assaulted him bitterly. Mr. Hilliard
paid many tributes to Mr. Yancey’s
purity of "life and motive, inflexibility
of purpose, and absolute incorrupti
bility. His career as Congressman,
member of Democratic Conventions,
Southern Ambassador to Europe,
Confederate Senator and private citi
zen were all reviewed and Mr. II. was
not sparing in praise of the great
power he wielded in every position he
occupied and every cause he advoca
ted. His notable triumphs he referred
to were in the Southern Commercial
Convention here and the Democratic
Convention in Charleston.
In conclusion Mr. H., spoke of his
love for Montgomery and her people.
He had sojourned elsewhere, but here
he always had ami always would con
sider home, and he hoped when he
was put away to rest it would be in
the cemetery here in the mid:;t of
those with whom he had spent the
greater part of his mature years, and
who had honored and trusted him.
He closed liis remarks in an ex
ceedingly eloquent manner by
ferring to the peace that now prevails
throughout all the land and the prom
ise now so fair of a still greater, gran
der aud more happily united people.
It is impossible to do justice to the
address in anything iike a synopsis.
It must be heard to be fully appreci
ated. Mr. Hilliard was frequently
applauded during his remarks and
after he closed was the recipient of
quite an ovation, old friends and
young ones crowding around him and
congratulating him.
He will remain in the city several
days and during his stay will stop at
the Exchange.

A STORY FOUND IN THE OLD RECORDS.
Duncan McKrimmon was a citizen
of Milledgeville, and was a soldier in
the Seminole war in Florida. On one
occasion lie went fishing and lost his
way. and was captured by a party of
hostile Indians, headed by the cele
brated prophet, Francis. The Indians
prepared to burn McKrimmon. They
tied him to a stake, and then began
to dance around him.
Milly Francis, the youngest daugh
ter of the prophet, who was about six
teen years of age, was sad and silent.
She pited the poor prisoner. When
the tomahawk was raised to strike
the fatal biow she placed herself be
tween it and the prisoner, and reso
lutely bade the Indian that if he
thirsted for blood to shed hers, being
determined, she said, not to survive
the prisoner. A momentary pause
was produced by this unlooked-for oc
currence, and she took advantage of
the circumstance to implore the pity
of her ferocious father, who finally
yielded to her wishes.
McKrimmon a few days afterwards
was sold to the Spaniards at St. Marks
for 74 gallons of rum.
As long as McKrimmon was a pris
oner, Milly showed him acts of kind
ness. The fortunes of war finally
placed her in the power of the white
people. She arrived at Fort Gads
den with a number of others in a star
ving condition. She was kindly treat
ed. McKrimmon heard of her as a
prisoner, and left Milledgeville to seek
her for the purpose of making her his
wife. He failed to reach his destina
tion.

From.the.Frencli of Alphonse Karr.
The yellow rose tree brings a story
to my mind.
One evening two years ago I went
to spend a few hours with an old lady,
amiable, witty and kind, who lives
near me. She is passionately fond of
flowers and you could not conceive
the delight I take in making beanti
ful bouquets for or how happy I am
in her surprise when I take a flower
that she does not know or which
not common in the country.
Yesterday when I went in I found
an old gentleman with her who came
into our neighborhood a year ago to
take possession of a large estate which
was left him by a distant relative on
condition that he should take with
the property the name of its former
owner. He is called, accordingly, M.
Descoudraies.
He sought an introduction to my
old friend, and I soon had reason to
be jealous of his attentions to her;
they formed a friendship for each
other and spent almost all their even -
ings together playing trictrac.
I saluted them quietly in order not
to interrupt their game, and then,
when it was ended, 1 offered M’me
Lorgerel a bouquet of yellow roses
which I had bought.
My roses were very beautiful, al
though the excessive rains of that
year had caused the yellow roses to
bloom imperfectly; mine, sheltered by
the projection of a roof, were per
haps the only perfectly expanded ones
in the neighborhood. ' M'me Lorgerel
uttered exclamations of delight over
the beautiful bouquet.
M. Descondraies said nothing, but
appeared preoccupied. I remarked
this with surprise, not understanding
the mysterious influence of my yellow
roses; but M'me Lorgerel soon spoke
of something else, and I thought I
must have been mistaken.
As for M. Descoudraies, he began to
laugh and said:
• “Would you believe that this bou
quet lias recalled, as by an operation
of magic, a whole epoch of my youth?
“During the last five minutes I have
been but twenty years old; within
five minutes I have fallen in love anew
with a woman who must now be six
ty years old, if she is still living. I
must tell you this story; it concerned
a circumstance that has had a great
influence over my whole life, and
whose memory, even to-day, when my
blood has only just warmth enough to
continue life and play trictrac, does
not fail to move me in an extraordi
nary manner.
“I was twenty years old a little
more than forty years ago.^. I hqd on
ly just come from college, where
young men spent more time then than
in these days. After having ripely
considered for me and without my aid
the choice of a vacation, my father an
nounced to me one morning that he
had obtained for me a lieutenancy in
the regiment of , quartered in a
city of Auvergne, and bade me hold
myself in readiness to set out on the
third day.
I was somewhat disturbed for sev
eral reasons. In the first place I did
not like a military life, but that would
have been an objection easily over
come; the sight of a rich uniform, a
few ambitious phrases, a little music
would have easily made of me an
Achilles or a Ctesar.
But I was in love.
I ■would not for anything in the
world have ventured to mention this
to my father. His sole response to
such a confidence would have been an 1
order to depart that very night. But
I had an uncle. Such an uncle !
He was a man then of my present
age; but he had remained young, not
toward himself, indeed, for never did
an old man renounce with a better
grace Satan, his pomps and liis deeds,
but towards others. He loved young
people, he understood them without
being jealous of them. He did not
believe that his infirmities were pro
gress nor his old age necessarily wis
dom. Through his kindness of heart
and his reason he lived in the happi
ness of others. He was found a sharer
in all the generous follies, all the no
ble foolishness of youth; he was the
confidant and protecter of all love
affairs, debts and hopeful plans. I
went to him and I said to him:
‘Uncle, I am very unhappy.’
‘I wager twenty louis that you
are not,’ said he.
‘Ah! uncle, do not joke. Besides,
you would lose.’
“ ‘If I lose I will pay; perhaps that
will help to comfort you.’
“‘No uncle: money has nothing to
do with my trouble.’
‘Tell me about it.’
‘My father has just announced to
me that I am lieutenant in the regi
ment of
A splendid misfortune! The
handsomest uniform possible, and the
officers are all gentlemen.’
‘But, uncle, I do not wish to be a
soldier.’
‘What! You do not wish to be a
soldier? Can it be that you are not
brave?’
‘I do not know yet; but you are
the only one in the world whom I
allow to ask me such a question.”
‘Well, then, Cid, my dear fellow;
why do you not want to be a soldier?’
“ ‘Wei 1 , uncle, it isbecause I want
to marry.’
“ ‘Oh!’
“ ‘There is no oh in the matter; I
am in love.’
“ ‘Is that what you call unhappiness,
you ingrate? I only wish I were in
love myself. And who is the object of
your tender flame?’
“ ‘Ah, uncle, she is an angel.’
“ ‘Yes, I know; it is always an angel.
Later on you will love a woman bet
ter. But to what human name, in
short does this angel answer?’
“‘Thev call for Naomi.’
“ 'That is not what I am a
Naomi is for yourself Moreover,
a pretty name But for me,
want to’know who the tinge '
what family she be ongs; the tainily
name is the essential tJung. .
“ ‘It is M'lle Arnelot. uncle.
•‘ ‘Indeed! That is far better than
an amrel She is a brunette, tall and
slender, with dark, velvety eyes. I do
not disappr° ve the object.
“Ah uncle, if you only knew her
b^I know. I understand—and does
K l,e nav you back in kind? as they
m<ed to say. Is that what you young
folks call it now a days?”
"That uncle, I do not know.
‘••What! Not know? My unworthy
nephew! Y T ou have gone to see her
every day and you do not even know
whether she loves!'
“ ‘f)he does not even know, uncle,
that I love her.’
“ ‘Oh, you are mistaken as to that,
mv handsome nephew; you know
nothing at all about that. She knew
it at least a quarter of an hour before
vou knew it yourself.’
“ ‘All I know is, that I shall kill
myself unless I can have her.’
‘“Oh! oh! Well, now, nephew,
there are a great,many chances that
vou will neverAave- ijti'. Your fath
er is much richer thaiiRei's, am} tftjll
r, lioT^flingio her hij floR.* 1
vj ■» r
“ ‘Then, uncle, I shall know what
to do.’
‘Yes, but take care; don’t do any
thing foolish in anv case. Listen to
me a moment.’
“ ‘Yes, uncle.”
“‘Very well; in the first place you
cannot marry at twenty.’ '
“ ‘Why not, pray?’
“ Because I am not willing, and
without my consent this marriage
cannot take*place at all.’
“ ‘Oh! my good uncle—”
“ ‘If the girl loves you she will prom
ise to wait for you three years—’
“ ‘Three years, uncle?’
‘“If you complain I shall say four.
If she promises to wait three years for
you, you will go to your regiment,
but not at Clermont. I will get you
into a regiment a few leagues from
Paris, so that you can come home
once in three months, when you
choose to do so.'
“‘Very well, uncle; how shall I know
whether she loves me?’
“ ‘How shall you know? Why, by
asking lier.'
“‘Ah, uncle, I should never dare to
do it.’
“ ‘Very well, then; pack your trunks
and obey your father.’
“ ‘But, uncle, you do not know
what a girl she is. ’ I have tried a hun
dred times to tell her that I loved her.
I have cursed myself for my timidity;
I have fortified myself in every way;
I have prepared speeches, and learned
them by heart, but wlityi the time
came to speak the first word choked
me, and I talked of something else.
Her expression is so gentle and at the
same time so severe, it seems to me
that she could never love a man, and
I talked of something else.’
‘In regard to letters it was much
worse. When the moment came to
give them, they seemed so stupid to
me that 1 could not tear them into
small enough pieces.’
‘“But, my boy, it is time to make
up your mind at last, and there is a
reason for it, too. Y'our father has
not told you all. He wishes to send
you to Clermont because the colonel
of the regiment is a friend of his and
has a daughter, because this daughter
is intended for you and will make a
rich and splendid match. But—you
need not speak—I know that all that
is nothing when one is in love. It is
a tremendous folly, no donbt, but it
is a folly of which. I should be very
sorry not to have been guilty. None
but prigs are free from it. I know
that the old call it illusion, but who
knows that the illusions are not their
own? The glass that diminishes the
size of objects has no more real an ex
istence than the glass that magnifies
them.’
“ ‘If she loves you, you ought to
give up everything for her; it is a stu
pid thing to do, but it is right, and it
must be done. But you must find out
whether she loves you, and just now
you have an excellent opportunity to
do so. They want to marry her. Y'ou
turn pale at the idea and wish you
had your odious rival at the sword's
length—is that what you say nowa
days? Well, then, try to keep up a
little of this fine courage in the pres
ence of your beautiful Naomi. They
want to marry her; you are richer
than she: bat the one to whom they
wish to give her is richer than you;
besides, lie is titled, and is a husband
ready to their hand: and the wedding
outfiit is prepared. While for you
they would have to wait. Go to Nao
mi and tell lier that you love her. She
knows it but it ought to be said in
any case. And tell her—for she must
lov’e you, young, handsome and witty
as you are—tell lier to swear to wait
three years for you, and to write it to
me in a letter, which I will keep. Then
I will break up that other marriage; I
will get you into another regiment;
and in three years, in spite of every
thing, I will have you married.’
“ ‘Well, uncle, I have an idea. I will
write to her.’
“‘As you please.’
“I left my uncle and went to write
my letter. This was not the hardest
part of my task. I liad already writ
ten to her a hundred and fifty times;
but to deliver the letter embarrassed
me. Having no time to hesitate,
however, I came to a decision. I
bought a bouquet of yellow roses and
slipped my letter into the middle of •
my bouquet. This is perhaps all very
foolish, but I remember it still.
“After avowing my love 1 begged
her to love me and be liappy with
me, and to wait for me three years.
I asked her, if she consented, to wear
one of my yellow roses in her belt that
evening; then, I said I shall dare to
speak to you of my joy—I dare not yet
say our joy.
“When evening came Naomi wore
no rose in her belt. I wanted to kill
myself, but my uncle went with me
to Clermont. He remained there two
months, anti ended by comforting me
and persuading me that Naomi had
never loved me.
“ ‘But, uncle,’ I would say, she
seemed so happy when I came and re
proached so sweetly when I came late.^
“ ‘Women love everybody s love,
he would reply; ‘but they are far from
loving evervbody.’ . . ,
“At last I almost forgot her and
married the colonel's dau £f lter ’Jv!®S 1
I lost after eight years of laarna & < j‘
But I still think of >aonn, Jlal
wavs see her a joung K ■
with her brown hair and ner
dark, velvet eyes, while she must now
be some good old ^acoudraies?”
“But vour name is Descouuraies:
“\o that is the name of my uncle s
estate: . iny name is Edmond d Al-
th “Then I will tell you what became
of Naomi."
“What?”
“Yes, she loved you.
“But the yellow rose?
“She did not find your note. Your
sudden departure cost her many
tears Afterward she married M. de
Lorgerel whose widow I am to-day.”
••What, you? Are you Naomi Arne
*°‘‘Alas, yes; as you are still, or rath
er, as you scarcely are, Edmond d’Al-
theim." .. , .
“Who would have believed that one
day we would be unable to recognize
each other?”
“Yes: or that we should meet years
ufter only to play trictrac. As for the
bouquet, I have always kept it.
And Madame de Lorgerel went to
an ebonv cabinet and brought forth
from it a withered bouquet. She was
trembling. She untied the bouquet
and found the letter that had been
tied there for forty-two years.
They were both silent, M, Des
coudraies arose.
Madame de Lorgerel took his hand
and said: “You are ri^ht. This resur
rection of our heart s youth should
not be before two aged faces like
yours and mine. Let us shield from
becoming ridiculous a noble affection
which, perhaps, will bring us happi
ness all the rest of our lives. Come a-
gain alter a few days.”
Since that time the two old people
have been inseparable. I have never
seen anything like the love that is be
tween them. They have a thousand
things to tell that have never been ex
plained; they loved each other retro
spectively; they wouid like to be mar-
r!#l to each otli^r but they dare not
marry now.
