Address oi Mr. M. j: Verdery
Before the Southern Socidty.
Me. Chairman and Gentlemen:
Two old darkies, lounngiog on a Btrwt
corner in Richmond,’ Vi, ono day,
were suddenly xroueed by • runaway
team that came dashing toward them
.at break-neck speed. The driver, Bear
ed nearly io death, had abandoned bia
reins, *nd was awkwardly climbing out
of the wagon at the rear end.
One of the old negroes said: /Brer’
l Johnson, sure as you born mun, de
runaway horse am powerful grand, and
a monstrous fine sight to see.”
Johnson shook his head doubtfully,
and then replied somewhat philosophic
ally: “D^t ’pends berry much, nigger,
on whedder you bo standin’ on de cor
ner obsarvin* of him, or am gittin’ ober
de tail-board ub de woggin.”
And likewise, it strikes me that any
keen enjoyment of after dinner speak is
peculiarly contingent—•“ ’pending ber
ry much on whedder you is 9tandin’ off
lookin’ on, on gittin' ober de tail-board
v ‘ ob do waggin.”
“THE SOUTH IN WALL STREET.
It Wall street is all that spiteful
cynics and iguorant fanatics say of it; if
we are to admit that it is a den of
thieves, where only falsehood, treach
ery and iniquitous schemes are propa
gated; if there is any ground for be
lieving that all the exchanges arc side-
: ^ shows to hell, and their members dev
ils incarnate, I fail to appreciate any
advantage to the south in being there,
and in no place where her presence could
not be counted a crodit would I assist
in discovering her.
But if, on the other hand, we repu
diate the wholesale abuse of the place,
and insist, for truth’s sake, upon an
acknowledgement of facts as they exist
—then tho south can well afford to be
found in Wall street, and if prominent
there, we may proudly salute her.
Wall street is the throbbing heart of
America’s finance. It is a common
nursery for an infinite variety of enter
prises all over tho land. Innumerable
manufactories north, south, east and
west, have drawn their capital from
Wall street. Tho industrial progress
aud material development of our bles
sed south-land is beieg pushed fir
ward vigorously to-day by the moneta
ry backing of Wall street. Tho vas 1
fields of tho fertile west, luxurious in
the beauty and rich in tho promise of
tasseled corn, and bearded grain, arc
rilled and harvested by helpful loans
from Wall street.
Old railroads, run down in their
physical condition, and thereby seriout-
• ly impaired for public service, are con
stantly being rehabilitated with Wall
> street money, while eight out of every
ten new ones draw the means for their
construction and equipment from the
same source of financial supply.
To all attacks recklessly made on
the methods of Wall Btreet, it seems to
me there is ample answer in this one
undeniablo fact—the daily business
done there foots up in dollars andconts
more than the total tradeoff any whole
stato of tho union, except New York,
and although the great bulk of trans
actions are mado in the midst of in
tense excitement, incident to rapid and
sometimes violent fluctuations of val
ues, and although gigantic trades aro
made binding by only a wink cr a nod,
099 times out of 1000, the contracting
parties stand rigidly to their bargains,
prove they good or bad.
So much for tho integrity of tho so-
callcd bulls and bears.
Out In tho broader realms of cim-
mercial vocation, and through the wid
er fields oi pastorial pursuit, it oconrs
to me this lesson might b3 learned
without any reduction of existing mor
ality.
In Wall street the brainiest finan
ciers are congregated. Vigorous ener
gy, unremitting industry, clear judg-
•: * ment and unswerving nerve are abso
lutely essential to personal success.
In tho light of those requirements,
wc venture to ask, what placo has tbc
* south taken?
Hen. Abram S. Hewitt, in his speech
before this society one year ago, said:
“If, by some inscrutable providence,
this list of gentlemen (meaning mem
bers of tho Southern Bociety) were
suddenly returned to the homes which
I suppose will know them no longer,
v there would be in this city what the
. quack medicine men call ‘a sense of
goneness,’ and I think we should have
to send to the wise men of tho east—
Dr. Atkinson for example—to tell us
!<:• how to supply the vacuum.”
Taking my cue from that generous
ijK' dfanpliment, I venture to suggest that
k?H .: if the south should suddenly withdraw
**w from Wall street, it would occasion
such a contrast ion of the currency in
that district as would demand even a
mo f° ^heral Policy than Secretary

The south is a power io Wall street.
She is identified with the management
of many leading financial institutions,
and hae also founded private business
establishments on her own account.
It would be bad taste to mention name*,
unless I had tho roll of honor at hand,
and could read it off, without c-xcep

Seven of tbc national banks have

one of the greatest banking bouses

his own account, wa3 filling one of the
most responsible positions and drawing
the third largest salary in that great
establishment.
Another instance of signal success is
told in this short story: Loss than six
years ago, a young Georgian tacked up
a cheap little sign on thg door of a sky
lit room in the Post building. To-day,
his is the leading name of one of the
niofrt conspicuous houses in tho street,
and the rent cf his present quarters is
more per month than that first office
he had cost for a whole year.
One of the most famous southern
leaders in Wall street to-day was so
little known when ha first attracted
attention there that many people as
sumed that he must in semu way be
connected with a certain great ocean
steamship line, simply because ho bore
name. To-day it is just as
often supposed that the steamship line
off shoot from him—because it
bears his name. Associated with him,
and sharing the honors of the firm
name, is another southerner, whose
career and usefulness and record of
splendid success suffer nothing by com
parison.
Two more southern representatives,
because of admirable achievements and
brilliant strokes of fortune, have re
cently gained great distinction and won
much applause io Wall street. If
called names it would wake an echo

ous ancestor is enshrined in immortal
renown.
It is not only as financiers and rail
road magnates that tho south ranks
high in Wall street, but southern law
yers likewise have established them
selves in this dollar district, and to-day
challenge attention and deserve tribute.
Under the brilliant leadership of two
commanding generals, the younger bar
risters are steadily winning wider rep
utation, pressing forward in profession

Ono question, with its answer, and
I shall have done. Are these south
erners in Wall street divorced in spirit
and sympathy, from their old homes ?
Let the record of iheir deeds mako re
ply- One of them has done a thing so
unique aud beautiful that I canno:
refrain from alluding to it. It touches
the chord of humanity in every heart,
and makes it vilratc with sacred mem
ories. In the cemetery of the little
town of Hopkinsville, Ky., ‘.here stands
a splendid monument, dedicated to “the
unknown confederate dead.” There
is no inscription,that even hints at who
erected it. The biljtyer subordinated
his personality w flic glory of his pur
pose, and only the consummate beauty
of the memorial si&nds forth. The
inspiration of his impulse was cq ualed
by the modesty of his method, but be
could not keep his secret. Truth,
touened by the tenderness and beauty
of the tribute to^hose heroes who died
“for consciences ake,” has reveamd tho
author, and in him we recognize a gen
erous suriiying comrade. Turning

The convulsions which somerimes
attend the dying momenta are supposed
to ba an evidence of suffering, but as a
fact they are conclusive proof to the
contrary, because a convulsion is simply
a muscular reaction, mod no better ev
idence can be given of a loan of sensi
bility, for as long as consciousness • rc
maini the mind will be able to control
the action of the muscles, and only
after-consciousneas has departed will

convulsions take place.
Bat it is true that there are forms of
death which are painful Death frem
disease of the heart, angina pectoris,
ileous and hydrophobia era generally
attended with intense pain, and unfor
tunately such deaths impress themselves
upon the popular mind, and Iced to
other and painless form-* no inconsider
able portion of their terrors,thus giving
wring impression concerning the fac-o
the cose.
The symptoms of death are too well
known to need description, but many
sufferings supposed to be inseparable
from the last hours arc really not nec
essary. Nourishment is frequently ad
ministered too often to persons in fatal
illness. The sinking and exhaustion
that are in progress throughout tbe
whole system are assumed by the at
tendants to demand free administration
of food and stimulants, forgetting that
the stomach shares in the exhaustion
and has lost its tone, and in great part,
if not wholly, its power of digesting.
Too much food impedes respiration
and produces unpleasant and painful
consequences, and iu every case the
food.both in kind and am >uot,should be
governed by the nature or the disease.
I have long doubted,” says a nolfcd
phy-ician, “whether strong beef tea and.
meat extracts are of much me, or tr:
appropriate when the act of dying ha3
actually cm men cad. Milk, creatr,
beaten eggs and the farioace are far
better. Tnty are, too, the best vehicles
and spirits, and they have less
tendency than soups to becomo oflen-
tbth;.i off; and we are content if we
make the whole word intelligible with
out considering too minutely the Istters
with which it is formed. I think, too,
that tho improvements which have been
made in the mechanical appliances
which we in England enjoy over- most
of the nations on the continent, will al
so explain why the handwriting of
Englishmen has a bolder character than

A MEDIEVAL SCENE.
The Sepulture of the Body of
Crown Prince Rudolph.
The tinkling of the absolution bell
tells cf the cod of the mass. Stalwart
arms grasp tho coffin, now heavy with
its wealth cf fragrant flowers, and
through dark passages and mysterious
windings the Crown Prince is borne to
his tomb in tbe vault below, while
the church nbovo swell the triumphant
strains of the “Libera,” promising res
urrection and eternal life.
Down in the vaults a strange and
mediaeval scene takes place. The dim
ly lighted, winding passage ends before
an iron-grated and heavily barred door.
Prince Hohenlohe, the master of cere
monies, advances and loudly knocks
three times.
A deep voice from behind the door
answers: “Who comes?” and “What
brings you?”
“I come, Von Hobenlobe, and
bring you Rudolph, of Hapsburg,
keep and to guard him.”
The door swings open, disclosing
view in the dim light a score of monks,
seme with candles, some with bells and
books. As the Prior advances—an
old man of eighty winters, with snow-
white hair—Prince Hohenlohe raises
the coffin-head lid and discloses to view
the pale, waxen face of the dead Prince.
“Do you recognize Rudolph of Haps
burg, and will you keep and guard him
as you have his fathers?” he asked.
“We recognize him. Web! Weh!
sob tho Prior and the priests. “We
bad hoped not to see him here so soon.
Wo will watch and guard hidi as we
havo his fathers.”
And as the elndoled monks replace
tbe spurred and booted cavaliers by
the'coffin side, tbe sad procession enters
the drear vault, while with slow gait
the monks chant the “Misereer.” The
Kaiser, the Kaiserine and the Princess
Stephanie, the widow, who was only
wife in word, enter to weep and pray,
while from without, penetrating into
the Court of Peace, is heard the clank
ing of the spurs and the rattling of
the sabres of the Noble Guard without.

The History of Handwriting.
The earliest writing of tho western
world, that of the so-called Uncial mar-
uscripts, aa'copied more or le3s directly
from the inscriptions cut on brass or
stone. The type of letters was princi
pally the same. Bat with the change
of the materials uted there came al
most necessarily in time a change in tbe
mode of forming the letters. Cursive
manuscripts, that is, macu cripts writ
ten io a running hand, were flowing and
connected letters, took almost univer
sally. by the tenth century the place of
the earlier Uocitl manuscripts, with
their stiff, upright, isolated letters, and
handwriting, as wa now understand it,
emerged. Bnt during the middle ages
writing was an art of a comparitively
few highly-trained scribes, carried by
some of them to a wonderful height of
perfection. After the introduction of
printing the very writing disappeared,
for the profession of the scribe was
superseded, but the number of tho-e
who could write passably increased as
the habit of correspondence grew, acd
writing was no longer for the ordinary
man the difficult, laborious process that
it used to be. With increased practice
handwriting became somewhat easier
and more free. The progress ia this
direction went on with little interrup
tion from therixtoeuth to the eighteenth
century; each generation ah own some
what of an advance on that which haa
prccaaded it. Tbc writing become oon-

Demand on Women.
From the Boston Courier.
One ot the most marked charac
teristics of modern life is ths enor
mous increase which it makes in its
demands upon woman. It has al
ways been true, from the dawn ol
civilization, that the role of women
in society and in life has been more
intricate, although less broad, than
that of men. It has always been
asked at the hands of women that
they should be a thousand tiroes
more flexible than men; that they
should adapt themselves to a hun
dred conditions which men ignored
or scoffed; and that they play in the
drama of life a score of parts to every
one which was undertaken by their
fathers and brothers and sons. As
life has constantly, grown more and
more complex, this difference be
tween the sexes has increased rather
than diminished. Life to-day de
mands of a woman more changes in
a day than a man is required to
compass in a month. She must,
from moment to moment, be one
thing after another—the wife, the
mother, the woman of society, the
leader in reform, the sharer in
this work of charity, and that
labor and intellectual progress, until
it is a miracle that she is able to do
any of the multitudinous duties im
posed upon her.
Of course, in a great measure, this
is due to the fact that women will
accept these burdens. Men escaped
much by the simple method of refus
ing to take it upon them. It is idle
to expect men to bend to all changes
with which women encumber their
lives, and so the lives of men remain
and are likely to remain more simple
than those ot the other sex.
Women are, as a rule, sufficiently
well able to oppose their wills to per
sonal opposition, but the women are
lew and far to seek who are capable
of standing out against circumstan-
s. Perhaps the difference is that
man argues with himself and is
satisfied with his conclusion, while a
woman mult argue with a second
person or her arguments are apt to
be as water spilled upon the ground
which cannot be gathered again,
man convinces himself that he is
right and that is the end of it. H
acts upon that conclusion, while
woman in a similar case would be
apt to find it impossible to be satis
fied unless she could have the con
firmation of some one else to assure
her that she was justified in her de
cision.
But whatever be the cause, of the
fact there is no doubt. The woman
who is of the world to-day must be
prepared to be all things in succes
sion. She must be the careful house
wife, the social leader, the religieuse,
the scholar, the wit, the confidante,
turn. She must compass at
least a show of all learning, she must
be-in sympathy with all branches of
knowledge and feeling and thought;
see must attend to a hundred forms
of life of the very existence ot which
her grandmothers were ignorant.
Whether she has been wise in tak
ing all this burden upon her it will
hardly fall within the province of the
present generation to decide.
Whether the children and grand
children of these wonderful women
will be the better or the worse tor
the extraordinary strain which is put
upon the mothers of the race, any
man may speculate but no man can
tell. Every woman might be sup
posed to decide for herself how tar
she will share this high strung life,
but as a matter of fact no human
being is able to escape the influence
of his day and generation. We are
part of a whole, and, although a
woman may to some extent with
draw herself from the current, in the
end she is forced to choose between
being left a stranded waif on the
shore of the stream and taking her
part of whatever the life of her time
may be.

Ordinary ot Colquitt County.
The gre.it men of the world have
generally owed much to the charac
ter and training of their mothers.
If we go back to their childhood,
see there the maternal influences
which form the aims and habits of
their future life.
Bajard, the flower of the French
knighthood, the soldier without fear
or reproach, never forgot the parting
words ot his mother when he left
home to become the page of a noble
man. She said to him, with all the
tenderness of a loving heart:
My boy, serve God first. Pray to
him night and morning. Be kind
and charitable to all. Beware of
flatterers, and never be one yourself.
Avoid envy, hatred and lying, as
vices unworthy ot a Christian; and
never neglect to comfort the widows
and orphans.”
When Bayard was foremost in
battle, confessedly the bravest war
in the field, or when, in his own
great thirst he was giving water to a
dying enemy, he was only carrying
out his mother’s counsel, and striv
ing to be worthy of her name. 'The
memory of a mother’s love is a talis
man against temptations, and a stim
ulus to a good life.
