Robert E. I<ee.
The people of the South will celebrate the
seventy-eighth anniversary of the birth of
Gen. Robert E. Lee to-day. Although more
than 14 years have gone by since his spirit
passed from earth, his loved andr loving
people still cherish the memory of his no
ble character and heroic deeds, and while
this day is celebrated with fitting cere
monies hundreds of thousands venerate
his name and proclaim his virtues.
Gen. Lee belonged to a family which
was conspicuous in the great events
which go to constitute the history of
America lor two hundred years. He was
fitted by birth, training, associations and
education to take a prominent part in the
doings of his day. and almost the whole
of his life was devoted to the service of
his country. The story of his career is in
almost every household.
Not only is the name of Lee loved and
honored by those who were with him in
the struggle for the Lost Cause, but also
by those who were his enemies in that
struggle, and by enlightened people in
every part of the world. His claims to
greatness cannot be disputed, and his
virtues as a man. and his achievements as
a leader of men. are indellibly recorded in
the pages of history.
While Gen. Lee possessed genius of a
hii?h order, he was not what is distinctive,
ly known as a genius. His reputation rests
on higher grounds, or as a biographer ex
presses it “on a certain comoination, a
just admixture of qualities, a pertect bal
ance of character at once rare and ad
mirable.’’
His military career was highly honora
ble throughout. It was distinguished
by great gallantry in the Mexican war.
and culminated amid the historic
triumphs and deleats of the war between
the States. Tne Southern people are
justlv proud of the campaigns of Lee,
but they venerate him not so much for
his prowess in war as for his character
as a mac. that true nobility of soul which
made him at once a Christian, a patriot
and a hero —and these are the qualities
that gained for him the admiration and
respect of his enemies.
The study of the character iff Robert E.
D-e is a truitful one. He was remarkable
fir hi* devotion to duty in whatever
sphere ot life he was called upon to act.
Asa son h- was affectionate and obedient.
Asa stud nt he wis resiiectlul and duti
ful. As an etieOicer he was diligent and
faithful. Asa subordinate officer he was
in the highest degree trustworthy and re
liable, and as a leader he was kind and
considerate of the feelings and welfare of
those under him. He was a tender, lov
ing husband and father, an earnest, true
h >rt and citizen, a gallant and peerless
soldier. Above all these was his Christian
character, which makes his name doubly
dear to all who i.o'v in true humility, as
he did. before the Creator aud the Re
deemer of men.
Robert E. Lee was singularly free from
that ambition which seeks mere personal
ends. He looked upon command as a
duty to be undertaken and performed,
and" not as a place to be sought on ac
count of its honors and rewards and the
power it carried with it. He was a man
of great moral and physiclal courage,
aud truly can it be said of him that he
was “without fear and without reproach.”
It is useless to draw, parallels or make
comparisons between Lee and other great
chieftains of the past or present. He
occupies a place distinctively his own.
He was the ideal Southern leader, ljis
fame is undimtned by petty jealousies or
political contentions. lie passed through
the ordeals of peace and war, prosperity
and poverty, of exaltation and humilia
tion. and b:s character came out as pure
gold from the refiner’s fire. Everywhere
and at all times lie was the embodiment
of gentleness, dignity and moral grand
eur. The South does well to honor his
name, for he was the typical hero of the
Lost Cause.
Examine tlic School llooks.
Northern literature seems to have
permeated every part of the country
and affected almost every class of
|*eople. Attention has frequently
been called to the systematic man
ner in which it has beer, attempted
to poison the minds of the young with
sectional ideas bv means of text books
used in tioth public and private
schools. In many parts of the South
school books have I sen adopted, the
tone of which is almost on a par with
that of Republican campaign documents.
This is osj i cia’ly true of school histories.
In them historical facts are perverted,
sectional vices are recorded, and the
political history of the country from the
days of the colonies down to the present
time is given a sectional coloring.
Thousands or Southern parent* are,
through inexcusable inattention, allow
ing their children t> be taught incorrect
ideas of the causes of the war, and of its
conduct and results. The Republican
party is glorified and given praise
to which it is not entitled.
As Democrats anil Southerners we want
t’ue truth to be known to the world, to be
taught to our children, and to lie pro
claimed in history to future generations.
Let the truth and the whole truth be re
corded, hurt whom it may. Perhaps the
text books of Georgia schools arc selected
as carefully as they are anywhere, but in
some parts or the South the tone aud
teachings of many of the school books,
especially of the histories, are very objec
tionable. Let every parent in the South
carefully examine the l*>oks used in
instructing his children, and see to it that
they are not calculated to convey errone
ous impressions.
It looks very much as if the House
would refuse to pass the Edmunds bill,
the object <f which is to put Gen. Grant
oil the retired list with the pay of Gen
eral, but would pass a bill accomplishing
the same object, but which will name GeD.
Grant as the beneficiary. The House is
in a rather bad temper with regard to
the Edmunds bill, because it is looked
upon as an attempt to evade the ground
on which the President vetoed the Fitz
John Porter bill. In the bitz John Porter
bill Gen. Porter was named as the one to
be appointed. The House will probably
name Gen. Grant in the bill it passes
authorizing the President to place him on
the retired list. The President said he
couldn’t appoint Porter because he was
named in the bill. The House wants to
see if be will veto a bill for Gen. Grant’s
relief if Grant is named, in the bill. A
gentleman who is well informed about
such matters says that Mr. Arthur, in
raising constitutional objections to the
appointment ot Fitz John Porter because
he was directed to do so by Congress, did
m>t follow precedents. Gen. Slocum says
it has been the practice for at least 10
years fi r Congress to create offices and
recommend the names of persons to fill
them. There are three instances of ap
pointments made upon such recommen
dation by President Arthur.
The question of the hour in Republican
politics in this State is, did Emory Speer
-go back” on Farrow in ihe United States
Judgeship matter? Farrow says that be
did and Speer says he didn’t. Speer says
he bad himself recommended for the
place only after he had been informed
that the President had concluded not to
appoint Farrow. The people of Georgia,
however, are not so much interested in
the quarrel between Speer and Farrow as
in having the right sortof a man appointed
Judge. As the Republicans in this State
do not appear to Ire able to agree upon a
man for the place, would it not be advis
able for the President to appoint a Demo
crat? The bar of the judicial district
and, in fact, of the State, would bo en
tirely satisfied with the appointment of
the lawyer of this city who has been so
strongly recommended lor the place. Mr.
Arthur is in a position to give the people
the man they want. Will he do it, or is
he too much of a partisan?
The Baltimore policemen think they
could do much better service in catching
burglars at night if they were allowed to
w ear citizens clothes. Would it not be a
good idea to require all policemen to wear
shoes with India-rubber soles when on
duty at night? The measured footsteps
of the patrolmen can be heard a consid
erable distance, and the presence of the
city guardian would hardly be better in
dicated to law breakers if he were ac
companied by a public crier with a ha tula
bell. I
Blaine as a Boss.
Blaine, according to ‘ the correspon
dents, is making a good deal of a stir in
Washington. lie has not yet settled
down to the work of completing his his
tory. His house appears to be the head
quarters of those of the Republican lead
ers who admire him and who think he
will be the nominee of the party in 1888.
Blaine, it seems, regards himself as the
head of the Republican party, and busies
himself in trying to direct Republican
politics not only at Washington, but m
the States where there is anything doing
in a political way. His hand, it is
claimed, is seen in the New York Sena
torial tight, and in political squabbles
that are going on in other States.
He is determined to punish those who
did not give him an enthusiastic support
during the late campaign. The young
Assistant Secretary of State, Davis, is
not a favorite with him, and. ; t is alleged.
Blaine is doing what he can to defeat hi*
confirmation us Judge of the Court of
Claims.
If Blaine pursues the plan that he ap
pears to have adopted of riding rough
shod over those who do not bow dovffli
’and worship him, as it were, he will have
a much larger faction of his party against
him, if he should happen to be the Presi
dential candidate or his party in ISSN,
than he l*ad in ISSi.
There doesn’t appear to be any doubt
that he is planning for the nomination
again. A good many of the Senators ol
his party dislike him, and would be glad
to see him removed from politics, but
they frankly admit that th-re doesn't
appear to be any one at present who is
likely to be able todraw Blaine’s strength
away from him. There will be many
changes, however, in political affairs in
the next three years.
It is said that the richest woman in
America is the largest creditor of J. J.
Cisco A Son, the suspended New York
bankers. The woman in question is Mrs.
E. H. Green, to w horn, it is said, the firm
owes from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000. It is
also said that, becoming alarmed at the
rumors about the firm recently circulated,
she directed the transfer of $500,000 of her
funds to the Chemical National Bank.
The amount was larger than the firm
could command at once, and it was sug
gested that she allow part ot her deposit
to offset a loan made to her husband, w ho
has represented her interests in the
Louisville and Nashville Company. It is
understood that this loan is between $300,-
000 and $500,000. As Mrs. Green did not
acquiesce in this suggestion the firm had
no alternative but to stop. It was re
ported that Mrs. Green had in the vaults
of the firm about $26,000,000 in securities,
kept there for safety.
The appointment of Assistant Secretary
of State John Davis to the vacant place
on the bench of the Court of Claims seems
to have aroused a great deal ot opposition
at Washington. It is very doubtful
whether Mr. Davis is qualified for the
place. He is old enough—being nearly
40—but he lacks knowledge of the law.
He is a very young-looking man and very
polite. In faet, he does not appear to be
more than 25 years of age. Davis has had
very little experience in the practice of
the law. He has held a government office
about all the time since he became a
member of the bar. The nomination will
be acted unon probably this week. Some
of the Senators seem to think that the
President is trying to pay his social debts
with the patronage at his disposal.
T e New York Christian Advocate gives
Methodist preachers some hints which
may perhaps provq useful to those of
other denominations. It says: “Preachers
should never forget that their exemption
from the laws of debate—the fact that
they are listened to in respectful and
reverent silence—imposes a correspond
ing obligation to speak soberly, carefully,
truthfully; to sift their facts, weigh their
arguments, and choose their words with
patience, judgment and discretion. It is
very damaging to a man to become kuown
as given to inaccuracy, exaggeration and
loose reasoning. In our day every audi
ence contains well-informed men and men
of sound judgment, whose good opinion
means influence and success to the pas
tor.”
The warden of the State prison of Kan
sas does not seem to be a St. John man.
He says more convicts, in proportion to
the population, come from counties where
the prohibitory law is enforced than from
counties where there is no liquor law. A
prohibition population cf 115,865 furnished
ten more convicts than an anti-prohibi
tion population of 117,239. This has not
been the experience of other States. The
temperance people have relied on the
criminal statistics of prohibition and anti
prohibition sections for some of their
strongest arguments. They may cross
examine the Kansas warden, or make a
counter showing that will prove him to
be not altogether lair in his treatment of
the subject.
Gen. Locals has thrown cold water on
the movements on toot to reorganize the
Blaine and Logan clubs for work pre
liminary to 1888. The General writes to
an Ohio admirer, intimating that he will
take no stock in the Blaine part of the
business. In other words, he will not
consent to be the tail end of the next
Presidential ticket. Probably he would
like such a ticket as Logan and Evarts.
Two such eminent reformed fugitive
slave law men would be unusually strong
with the colored voters of the country.

While the I'nited States Senate is in a gen

tution did so in the belief that the man who
saved the country would also save their
money. Many of thorn arc now in reduced

What Will Satisfy the Country.
,Veie York Herald ( Ind.)
We have no doubt that Mr. Cleveland is
abundantly able to form his own Cabinet
without the help of volunteer advisers, of
whom poor Gen. Garfield had so many of dif
ferent and olten dubious sorts. The selection
he makes will no doubt disappoint some mem
lairs of his party; that is inevitable. But if he
gathers about him iwn of high character and
of some public experience, whs are atone
with him about the policy which should be
pursued, he will satisfy the country.

V i l Riot s discrimination was lately made
on the Belgian frontier between the clollus
worn by a tourist and those in his baggage, in
rezard to protection against cholera. A
passenger on ihe French Northern Railway
was refused transportation for his trunkal
the Belgian station because the clothing in it
was pot worn by the owner but transported
b. a third party. This decision is criticised
as rather hard 'on tourists, who are apt to
need more than one suit, and who cannot,
like elephant*, carry their trunks themselves:
an I as a military precaution, both irritating
and useless.
Is a religious paper an English rector has
lately given examples of the way in which
children in national schools are taught to
gabble over the church catechism. One wrote,
“To bear no manners or atred in my heart.”
Another, "To flicker my father, obey the
Queen and all that is put in thority: to sub
mit myself to mv governess, teachers, spirit
pasters.” Another, “Suffered under the
I‘ontious Piiate, was crucified, lie descended
into heaven.” Another, “My duty towards
my nabour is to do to no men as I would, and
no to obey the Queen.” etc. These are sam
ples of fifteen examples of what is called
"religious :u-truetion."
Writing about the Hoffman House, in New
York, reminds me, says a writer in the Tri-
J'lffr, of the magnificent piece of
tapestry that hangs on the east
side of the barroom there. I once heard a
clergyman use it as an illustration with great
effect. It was made by a worker who stood
on the reverse side, pulling his threads in ac
cordance with a pattern which lay before
him. and never seeing the face of the tapestry
until it was a completed picture. The orator
likened such work to a Christian life, follow
ing a given pattern and weaving a symmetri
cal life-picture, which could not be seen until
after death. Last summer I met the clergy
man by chance at the Fifth Avenue Hot 1.

a desire to see it. As we walked into the gor

so. As we left the hotel, a friend stopped me
for a moment. “What are you doing here
with that clergyman?” he asked. “Mow did
you know?" I rei fined. "I saw him take off
iiis hat," was the answer.

The Village Maid.—
“She came to a village church
And sat by tie- pillar alone;"
Her beau wa* 'eft in the lurch.
Yet her head was heavy as stone.
"And once, but once, she lifted her eyes,
And suddenly, sweetly,strangely blushed;”
For there to her wonder aud surprise.
In the choir whose howling hymn was
liushe t.
Sat the tenor brave and fair;
With a smile her s .rr w he dashed.
Brushed back Ins wavy hair.
And the maiden so meek was “mashed.”
--After Tennyson.

An Auburn lawyer’s little daughter
goes to Sabbath school and is in a class
with other little girls. Possibly the Au
burn legal luminary hasn't allowed for
the sharp ears and the bright eyes of his
little one as much as he might.
It was in a review last Sabbath in her
class. The teacher wa3 going over tDe

wisdom.

who traveled so many miles and miles to
see this King?” Silence prevailed in the

In order to help them, the kind but mis
guided teacher began to offer a little as
sistance: “Y’ou do know, I am sure. The
name began with S, and she was a very
great Queen.”
Just then up shot a little hand, and out
spoke the triumphant voice of the little
Auburn girl. She transfixed the listening
school-room with the following brief
statement, in a clear, business-like voice:
“1 know teacher: it was the Queen of
Spades.”

TOOMBS AND KYNDERS.
How a Debt was Paid and a Prssident
Elected.
. During the earlier days of Capt. Isaiah
liynders, who died a few days since in
New York city, and when he made
sporting excursions throughout the South,
mischance, says the Macon Telegraph
and Messenger, wrecked him in Warren
ton, Ga.
The cards had nm unluckily, for a
flush sport rareiy collides with the law,
and the Captain found himself facing an
indictment for dealt ug taro, with no
friends on the jury panel, and no counsel
to stand between Dim and the prosecuting
attorney. Robert Toombs, then a voting
attorney, who rode the circuit in which
Warren county was embraced, was at
court, and espoused the cause of the
friendless and unlucky gambler.
So skillfully did he conduct the case that
Capt. Rynders escaped with no punish
ment more severe than a nominal tinp and
a reprimand from the presiding Judge.
Counsel and client parted at the court
house door, the gambler pioniising to re
deem the obligation—the young counsel
flushtd with ttiur.'pb, putting away the
effusive thank* with a lordly air.
Years rolled by, and Toombs bad be
come a prominent member ot the Whig
party and a leading member of Congress,
and Capt. Rynders with his Empire Club
was a power in tlie politic s of New Y r ork
city on the Democratic side.
Afrer the Mexican war it w ill be re
membered that a movement was made by
Bailie l’eyton and other Whig leaders of
the South to nominate Gen. Taylor tor
the I’iesidency. It was met by the
prompt and intense opposition of Mr.
Clay, who ruled his party with an iron
rod, and who had a following as power
ful and devoted as thabnow numbered by
Blaine. New Y’ork city, then as now.
was the political centre, from which all
political movements radiated. It was of
the highest finpoitance that a
Taylor boom be inaugurated at that
point, but the leaders of the Whig party
of the city, who were partisans of Mr.
Clay, successfully resisted any attempt
to accomplish this. Every' speaker that
was sent there was publicly received,
w ined and dined and greeted by a large
meeting, but so soon as he attempted to
set forth the merits and claims of General
Taylor, he was silenced by hoots, yells,
cat-calls, w histles, and all the appliances
known to be effective in breaking down q
public speaker.
At length Mr. Toombs was selected to
lead the forlorn hope. When he arrived
in New Y'ork and announced his purpose,
Mr. Grlnnell and leading Whigs assured
him that his mission would be a fruitless
one. He kept his counsel and his temper
and retired to his hotel, the Astor House,
from which he addressed a note to Capt.
Rynders.
The summons speedily brought the
Captain. Toombs told of his mission and
its difficulties, and invoked his assistance.
“Come down,” said the Captain, ‘ and see
the boys.”
Toombs was carried dewn to the head
quarters of the Empire Club, was intro
duced with proper commendation by the
Captain, and over a friendly glass all
round, accompanied by cigars, the cam
paign was laid.
"Y’ou shall speak as long as you want
to,” said the Captain, “or I and my boys
will know the reason why you can’t.”
Cautioning Toombs to bandy with the
crowd for awhile at night, they parted.
The hall was tilled to overflowing, the
stage was occupied by all of the Whig
leaders, but prominent among the specta
tors might have been seen Capt. Rynders,
and here and there the most fearless of
the members of the Empire Club. Each
one of these bore a piece of chalk and was
instructed to mark the backs of all who
were engaged in disturbing the speaker.
Toombs was introduced regularly and
proceeded with his exordium. When he
referred to Gen. Taylor, a din arose as
though bedlam had broken loose. Toombs
cooly r< ceived the angry ovation, and re
sponded to those most prominent aud
noisy. All at once Rynders mounted a
chair and with the voice ol a Stentor
shouted: “Put out the chalk-backs! d—n
them; put them out!” and seizing a bur
ly rough he proceeded to execute the or
der. In a moment the fellows who had
been trained and hired to put down Tay
lor speakers were sprawling upon the
sidewalk, with torn clothes, battered hats
and bruised faces.
There was profound order in the hall,
and Toombs proceeded, with his fiery elo
quence, to advocate the claims of “Old
Rough and Ready.” He carried the audi
ence by storm, and the movement was
successfully inaugurated in New York
that culminated in the election of Gen.
Taylor to the Presidency. Capt. Rynders,
the Democrat, had settled his indebtedness
with the young Whig lawyer who had
years beiore befriended him, and the inci
dent was for years afterwards recalled,
when political reminiscences were in
order around the social board.
A PECULIAR PENALTY.
The Tar and Feather Temperance
Society In Connecticut.
On the night of Dec. 31, 1883, says a
Norwalk letter, three young men sat
around a tavern tire in Georgetown, a
little village about 10 miles from Norwich.
Conn. The three were intoxicated and
were watching the old year out. As the
clock struck 12 one of the young men
said: “Boys, the new year is here, now
let’s swear off and form a temperance
society.” The others, in a spirit of fun,
agreed. The articles of association were
then and there drawn up. They were
similar to the rules of other temperance
organizations with one exception. The
clause containing the pledge had the tol
lowing penalty attached: “And anyone
of us who shall drink any intoxicating
liquor, for any purpose whatsoever, be
tween now and midnight of Dec. 31, 1884,
shall be tarred and feathered.” This
clause becoming known gained the club
the name of the “Tar and Feather Tem
perance Society." Meetings of the society
of three were frequently held. Gradually
applications for membership began to
pour in, and before six months had passed
the society numbered 30 members. The
year of abstinence expired on Tuesday
night, and a grand ball was given, to
which a large number of the best
people of the place were invited.
The hall was filled. At midnight
the President announced that the pledge
had expired. By an unanimous vote, the
pledge was renewed lor another year, and
some twenty new names were added to
the roll. Tlie peculiar penalty proves an
attractive advertisement, and the matter
is the talk of the neighborhood Nearly
every resident wears the society’s badge.
The badge is blue ribbon, with a lump of
tar filled with chicken feathers attached.
