Dallas iTex.) Cor. Philadelphia Times.
One of the most interesting features n;
the rout lon wiil be a c li:c;'jn of south
ern wur relics and m<mentoes. These rel
ies have been coming in from every point
of the compass and represent nearly every
feature of those dark days of storm and
stress. Many of these mementoes tell
stories of peril and privation, of won
derful endurance and heroism. They show
how men suffered, fought and starved,
not with the stoicism of the fatalist, but
with the cheerfulness of duty well per-
formed.
No selge of all history tells of greater
peril and suffering than that endured by
the confederates in the leaguereil walls
of Vicksburg. And yet an example of how
the suprt me rebel humor rose above na
ture is shown even here by a manuscript
bill of fare, which was found after Vicks

at this reunion. This memorable menu
is surmounted by a rough sketch of a

A Social Study in nn Advertisement.
Men ami Women Whose Talents
Range From Sanserif t Stenogra
phy Seek Work in A nln.
From the New York World.
For the student, of social science there is
food for reflation in the fact that an ad
vertisement for "a person of good educa
tion to do some pen copying for small
compensation,” inserted recently in the
Sunday papers, brought forth several
hundred letters, largely from educated
men and women out of employment.
As showing that the old proverb about
knowledge being power is not universally
true, the following answers to the adver
tisement are especially significant:
"I am a graduate of Yale, ’74 Div.; am
also a member of the American Oriental
Society. Have done a good deal of work
in the way of copying script in Sansklrt,
Arabic, Chinese. Greek, etc., with all of
which languages I am conversant.”
I am a linguist, and can do the neces
sary copying not only in English, but also
in German, French, Italian, Latin and
Russian.”
“I am of good education, well qualified
to do some pen copying for a small com
ponsatlon, either In ancient or modern
dialects and languages. Am a teacncr,
bookkeeper, compiler, translator, tjp-v.
writer and stenographer in English,
french and Spanish.”
"1 matriculated .at the London Univer
sity, and took my degree of B. A. (baehe
ller-es-lettres) in Sorbnnne, In Paris.
“1 am a graduate of St. John's College,
London, England, and have had great ex
perience in educ-i'ional work."
"I am a bachelor in science of the Uni
versity of Brussels, Belgium: a good
f ranco-Engllsh scholar and a rapid work
er.
"I beg -to apply for the copying mention
ed in your advertisement. I am an Eng
lishman. and was i ducaited at Cheltenham
College, in England.’
"1 ain an Englishman, thirty-nine years
of age, ami have received a thorough ed
ucation at an important public school in
(the city of layndon. 1 am a lawyer, but
have given up practice. I am energetic,
careful and correct in business, and can
furnish references as to character and abil
ity.”
A young woman sets forth 'her references
from the Young Women’s Christian Asso
ciation. Another has been a government
copyist.
"I have been educated for the church,”
writes an unfortunate young man, in imle
ink. "but was compelled to seek other em
ployment through not having the neces
sary funds. I speak English, French and
Italian, am honest and reliable, am now
five years in my present place, where 1
have to work hard; would like, if possible,
to add to the support of my two little
motherless children. My writing, for
w ant of practice, is nothing to be compared
to what it was some years ago.”
A young German was naively “willing to
do such work on moderate retribution. It'
necessary,” he adds, "I can also, inde
pendently of English, copy in either French
or Spanish languages, which I know as
well as English.” -
A voting aspirant for Thespian honors
writes in the third person:, "The under
signed, young man 28 years of age,
an ex-collegian (Yale), and late student
at-law (Columbia), respectfully invites
your consideration of these lines as an ap
plication for copying as per advertisement
He Is at present writing, engaged as a stu
dent at ihe Academy of Dramatic Arts,
and in order to retain a scholarship won
must secure some means of employment,
be it ever so mental, at any remunera
tion.”
There is considerable pathos, and yet a
touch of incongruous humor, in these
pleas of tlie afflicted:
"Providing you havel no one in view I
would like to ask you for a trial it is a
long time since I dldlany writing but I
will improve, am willing to work for a
dollar a day being that I am lame.”
"I am in need of employment, and am
deaf, and think. I um suited for this kind
of work. It matters not to me whether it
Is only,temporary or permanent, asfl need
sonm money to carry around.”
There were few illiterate letters. The
majority of oerespondents were people of
evident education, anxious for any em
ployment, even at the lowest compensa
tion.
FRKK SILVER IN GEORGIA.

Washington, D. C\, May 19.—Benjamin
Harvey Hill of Atlanta, son of the late

the Constimti n and other fVee silver pa
pers. It will he recollected that these
same papers claimed in 1892‘that the state
was solidly against Mr. Cleveland’s re
election, but when the people were heard
from, through their convention, it was
sorn that the claim was not well founded.
“The truth is, the people of Georgia are
a conservative people. They think for
themselves, and in this day, when infor
mation on the financial question is so pen
-1 rally circulated, they are not led by any
iicvspnpt they form their own opinions.
The free silver advocates make the most
noise, and claim that the state is almost
•‘olid in support of their views; but I
think they have reached the highest till**,
ami that the returning sense of the people
"ill show the fallacy of a policy which
would inevitably put us ou a silver bu.*ds
alone.
“It Moms to me that there is very lit*
t!“ substantial difference between demo-
rats on the financial question, anyway.
• ’atr.puratively few arc gold monomet
uilisu or silver monometallism; the vast
majority o; the people are in favor of
b metail!, 'tui; the only question of dispute
s how to arrive at bimetallism wit hoar
injury to the business interests of the
country. The advocates of sliver are very
intolerant and abusive, and may, by this
means, somewhat injure the success of
the party.
"The question is a busines one purely
and ought to be discussed without the
slightest acrimony. 1 have been selected,
with others, to represent the city of At
lanta at the sound money convention at
Memphis. I shall attend and endeavor to
aid the delegates in such policy as may
redound to the Interests of the whole
country’ and to the solidification of the
Democratic party on the financial ques
tion. The convention bids fair to be a
very interesting, as well as important
one. in its results on the country at
large.
"I believe that a great many men in
Georgia who are not recognized as poli
ticians and are looking to see which way
the current is going to run. hoping to
get on the popular side, will take an
active interest on the financial question,
because they regard it as the chief ques
tion now before the people, and one which
will vitally affect the prosperity of the
country for years to come.”
Only n question of Time.
“That little bill?” said the debtor, pleas
antly. "Oh, yes. of' course. Well, you
need not worry about that any more. I’ve
got things down to a system now.”
“You’ve been a long time doing it," sug
gested the creditor, according to the Chi
cago Times-Herald.
"I realize It,” returned the debtor, "but
It’s all right now. You see, S3O is more
than I can afford to let go of at any one
time, but now I can get it together without
missing it. You see, a man never misses
his small change, so I’ve bought a little
bank that I can drop it into every night.
You've no Idea how fast it accumulates."
"Uve heard of the plan before," said the
creditor. “If a man lives up to It and
doesn't hold out on the bank it mounts up
rapidly."
“Oh. I live up to it,” protested the debtor.
”1 put every rent of small change into it
every night, and it's all for you.”
“I may hope then ”
"My dear sir, you may more than hope.
The system makes the payment In full an
absolute certainty. It overcomes all obsta
cles and it's only a question of time ”
"How much time?”
"Well, that’s rather difficult to say. You
sec. the amount of small change 1 find in
my pockets varies, and ”
"What do you call small change?”
"Pennies. I—What's that? Oh, well, sure
if you want to. That's what a man gets
for trying to do the right thing.”
