I’ine Crest Villa, Maitland, Fla., May
5 _H was the boast of Southern orators
ln d statesmen for years, that whenever
ibis reunited nation became involved in
aar the old Confederate soldiers and their
jons would be among the first to rally
found the "Old Flag,” and among the
uravest to stand for its defense. This was
;he claim of the late Senator Joseph E.
Brown In his great speeeh in the Senate;
, n d the SpandshiAmerican war came on
nd amply proved the truth of the claim
so often and so emphatically made. And
now the whole nation Is in the full and
Er-e enjoyment of an era of complete
(conciliation and good fellowship.
This era of good feeling brings about
,-tnany fraternal meetings between the
rfold boys” of the Blue and the Gray.
Bkaury Camp of Confederate Veterans at
[Aederleksburg, Va., sends ite salutations
11 'he Society of the Army of the Po-
Wat s, with expressions of its pleasure
■ thoq prospect of having their annual
I 4 l .?;g "there on May 25, and adds: "The
soldiers will give the boys
who wore the Blue a warm Virginia wel
come when they come, and will be pleas
ed to make their visit pleasant and profit
able while they once again pitch their
tents on the old camp ground.”
Another evidence of this fraternal feel
ing Is seen in the elegant blue and gold
bound souvenir of the Grand Army En
campment of the Department of Massa
chusetts, In which appears the following
patriotic sentiment from Gen. John B.
Gordon: “With singleness of heart and
purpose, In the a common coun
try, and of universal human liberty, and
by the blood of our fallen brothers, wo
unite In the solemn consecration of these
hallowed hills of Gettysburg, as a holy,
eternal pledge of fidelity to the life, free
dom and unity of this cherished repub
lic.”
And a Georgia example Is presented by
young Charles O. Beauchamp, Mayor of
Jackson, Ga., who wishes to return a
sword presented to Capt. John S. McDow
ell of the Seventy-seventh New York Vol
unteers in the Civil War. The father of
Mr. Beauchamp came into possession of
the sword after the war, It having been
found in the line of march of Sherman’s
army through Jackson, and now that we
are a reunited and happy people the son
wishes to return the sword to Capt. Mc-
Dowell, if he is alive, or to any sur
vivor of his family. Writing to the New
York World, for this purpose, Mr. Beau
champ says: "The hatred that once ex
isted between the two sections involved
in that terrible war is now de-ad; we are
reunited again, and all stand ready as a
unit to defend the glorious Stars and
Stripes from any foe that may seek to dis
rupt the Union. This regiment destroyed
considerable property belonging to my
grandparents and other relatives In this
county, yet “all is fair in war,” therefore,
we have no malice or hatred in our
hearts against this captain or any mem
ber of the Seventy-seventh Regiment, for
we are now os one family, defenders of
the same flag.”
The cheerful and united support given
by the Grand Army of the Republic to
the proposed “Branch Soldiers' Home”
at Castle Pinckney in Charleston harbor,
a hill for which has already passed the
Vnited States Set-ale, Is a genuine toktn
o' the good feeling of that organisation
of some 3.000,0C0 members. This is true in
a marked sense because other locations
In the South were pleading earnestly for
a similar indorsement, and presented a
strong claim fer recognition. It is to the
credit of the Department of Florida
of the Grand Army that if promptly and
generously withdrew its cla m to recogni
tion in favor of Castle Pinckney. Tennes
see and South Dakota, however, are still
in the field, yet It looks very much as
though the Charleston location will bo
sleeted despite the cry of “hot bod se
cession.” No city or community Is to-day
more loyal and patriotic, and the name of
Pinckney Is wreathed about with heroio
memories of the early history of this
country.
And yet another evidence of this era of
good feeling appears In the cordial accep -
a nee by Gen. Albert D. Shaw, the com
mander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the
Republic, of an Invitation to participate in
a “Grand Blue and Gray Reunion.” to be
held in Atlanta on July 20, In the o'd war
trenches of the battles around that city
In July, 1864. Gen. Shaw, who helieves ful
ly and sincerely in a genuine reoonellatlon
of the two sections onee'at war with each
other, says: "I gladly accept your Invita
tion. It will afford me great pleasure to
have a part In a reunion where deadly foes
who. In manhood's morning, fought hero
ically for and against causes equally -tear
♦o each, meet In the evening of their lives,
in peace and Joy, one In the love of a com
mon country and common Institutions, and
loyal alike to the Stars and S>rips* and
the indissoluble Union of the United Slates
of America. Whoever can help In any w ay
in making stronger the ties between (h"
sections' should feel It to be the p:oudrst
work of life one can have at heart, in view
of the future true glory and safety of our
great nation. • • • The propose 1 re
union to be held within the lntrenchments
where the fajpous battle of Penchtree
re.k was fought during the great war 'a
Joe that appeals strongly to my head and
■sart.”
The Morning News recently copied a
Paragiaph in regard to the first three
''tdeis at West Point. There were sorno
errors in regard to the third cadet, who
Walker (not Walter) K. Armlstead,
ef Virginia, who entered the Academy In
"jay. 1801, and was graduated In March,
I™’ Instead of 1804.Th0 error In hts name
■J a common one, Walton Eclor, a gallant
Georgia soldier, being often referred to as
"alter Ector.
The Academy opened on May 12, 1800,
"Th only one cadet, Joseph G. Swift, of
Massachusetts; but Sltnon M. Levy of
Maryland (not South Carolina), came In
?" March 2, 1801. so that the North and
fioiuh then had equal represen tailon so
*" as numbers were concerned. Levy was
e older and more experienced cadet,
oar In,-; been In the army as an Orderly
"‘rgennt at the battle of Maumee Rapids
| n 1791, and for gallant conduct In this
Jbgngunent ho was appointed a cadet at
'he Academy.
The careers of these two cadets, the
h r, t to be graduated (Oct. 12. 1802) from
Hca< 7my, were widely different. While
i'n became second lieutenants In the
-orn uf the career of Lew
gOfre fHorraitfl
was cut short by death in 1807. He served
as an assistant engineer In river, harbor
and and const defense work on the South
Atlantic coast until Sept. 30, 1805, when
he restgned, and is supposed to have diqd
in Savannah some two years loter.
Cadet Swift lived to be four-score-and
two years old, dying at Geneva, N. Y„
July 23, 1865, not. only crowned with the
honors of a remarkably useful military
career, but beloved and respected wher
ever known. He rose In the Engineer
Corps through each successive grade to
that of brevet brigadier general “for meri
torious services,” and chief engineer of
the United States army. He was su
perintending engineer of the fortifications
of the South Carolina and Georgia har
bors, as well as other defenses that prov
ed Impregnable In time of war. He was
made brevet brigadier general In 1814, and
resigned from the army in 1818, after
which he was distinguished for valuable
scientific labors in civil life. Kenyon
College, in Ohio, made him an LL. D.,
and he was also honored by several home
and foreign scientific societies. No cadet
ever reflected more real merit upon the
academy than Gen. Swift—its first grad
uate.
Of Cadet Armisted, the third graduate,
and really the South's first companion to
Cadet Swift, a most honorable record
stands as a monument to his forty-two
years of faithful and distinguished ser
vice in the army. Like Swift, he passed
through all the grades to brevet briga
dier general “for faithful service,” in 1828,
and died at Uppervllle, Va., In 1845, hav
ing been on "sick leave of absence” for
a year previous. In the field or on coast
defenses, or as chief engineer of the Unit
ed States army, or commanding troops
in the Florida Indian War, In 1840, Gen.
Armisted always served with credit to
himself and benefit -to the country, hts
last service being In command of the
Third United States Artillery at Fort
Moultrie, In Charleston (S. C.) harbor,
In 1844.
It Is a notable fact that the early ca
dets at West Point were young men of
distinguished families or 4n themselves
possessed of fine military talents. H. M.
Allen, the seventh cadet, was a son of
Gen. Ethan Allen, the hero of Tlcondero
ga; George Bomford became famous in
the ordnance department; Joseph G. Tot
ten became eminent as a skilled engineer;
William Mcßee, who aided In construct
ing the Charleston harbor defenses, and
was commended by Maj. Gen. Brown for
gallantry on the field, was honored by
the naming of Fort Meßee In Pensacola.
Fla., harbor; Julius F. Heileman was the
son of Surgeon General Heileman of Ger
man Brigade In Gen. Burgoyne's army;
William Gates, Alden Partridge, Charles
Gratiot and Eleazar D. Wood, like many
other early cadets, will long be honored
names In the military history of our
country. Sidney Herbert.
THE NAVAL STATION.
Why Should Cliarlesfon Object to a
Fair Field and no Favor.
Editor Morning News: The dyspeptic
editor of the Charleston News and Courier,
who is always barking and snarling at
everybody, takes umbrage at your well
meant congratulations and well wishes at
the probability of Tillman's realization of
his assertion, reiterated by him at the
Democratic Convention held at Columbia,
on the 16th, nqmely, that there is a lot of
good stealing going on in Washington and
that he, Tillman, was getting his share
of it for South Carolina. A part of that
stealing, it Is fair to assume. Is the one,
among other jobs, for the removal of the
r.avol station to Charleston, for which you
extend the hearty congratulations. Time
will surely prove the truth of Tillman's
candid anid frank admission that it was
a steal. •
Why should Charleston object to the
suggestion made by you that if the naval
station has to be re-located on the South
ern coast there should be “a fair field
and no favor shown? That City In her
extreme modesty, now claimed to possess
the finest harbor on the Atlantic coast, if
that be the case It would be supposed that
she would court competition with her
neighbors and demonstrate by official proof
before a board of officers, to
be appointed, to examine into
the location of the station,
that her harbor possess all the advantages
alleged, and if in truth the river leading
to Savannah is, as the News and Courier
claim It to be, "a narrow, tortuous, shal
low or muddy” one. It does seem a little
strange, as well as suspicious, that that
paper should evince such abject fear of
competition, as Is Indicated by its editorial
of the 17th instant. That Charleston en
tertains such fears Is proof positive that
her claim to superiority for her harbor is
not well founded.
It stands to reason that Charleston
should avoid as muc'h as possible a too
close investigation into her harbor's nalu
ttral and artificial advantages. There are
those who remember that city's frantic
solicitations during the Spanish war to
have It made a depot for tlie embarkation
of troops to Cuba, and how two vessels
were sent there, the Harvard and Yale,
and how they had to anchor at a magnifi
cent distance at sea and the soldiers sent
aboard on barges. How on other occa
sions vessels of the navy had, for the same
reason, to view Charleston from the same
magnificent distance, and what was the
fate of tho small Raleigh, drawing only
eighteen feet, when lately she entered In
side the bar and there got aground, and
notwithstanding the efforts of steam tugs
stuck for twenty-four hours.
In spite of the official maps, bold indeed
would be the navigator who would under
take to steer one of our naval vessels
through the channel to the city of Charles
ton.
The News and Courier relieves Its mind
by Insinuations as to the health of Savan
hah. We venture the assertion that not
a merchant In Charleston, with a due re
gard for his health, would cere to spend
a night, during tho malarial season, on or
near the site proposed for the contemplat
ed navy yard.
Your state may not have a senator, who,
like our Tillman, knows all about "tho
good stealing that is going on,” neverthe
less trv for the navy yard, unlike the
Charleston people, we know you will “tote
fair," Victimized.

A CUNNIAG WILD CAT.
Clever Way In Which He Onto tried
a Park of Honnds.
From the Youth’s Companion.
In many parts of Tennessee, hunting
wild cats is as popular as a sport as the
fox chase. ' The wild cat Is as tricky as
the for. He has a still more dogged way
of sticking to the thickest cover and the
most rugged ground, and when once over
taken will generally fight till ho dies.
Some ypars ago I witnessed a wild cat
perform an act of cunning quite as re
markable as any I have heard attributed
to the fox. With six other young men I
b'AVANNAH, GA., SUNDAY, MAY 20, 1900.
was camped near the head waters of Buf
falo creek, not far from tho Alabama
line, wlien we determined to try a wild
cat chase, and for that purpose went to
a thickly wooded strip of country lying
between the Buffalo and one of its tribu
tary streams. In the dense woods there
are occasional small openings connected
by a few oid roads which we could tra
verse on horseback. Only at the lower
end of this strip of woods were there any
caves or holes to which the wild cats
would be likely to retreat.
Our chaso began on a cloudy, drizzling
morning—a capital time for the hunt, for
in such weather the game is easily start
ed and the trail is strong. Three of our
party, Including myself, took positions
near the junction of the two streams, In
the edge of a small space that was clear
of undergrowth, but set with taller trees.
The other four, taking the dogs, went
some two miles up the river to start the
game, which would probably pass near our
position, either to take refuge in a neigh
boring bluff on the river bank, or as was
more likely, to dodge the hounds by wind
ing among the rocks, and then doubling
on their trail.
We had waited fully two hours when we
heard the distant cry of a hound, and soon
afterward a full chorus of the dogs. They
were coming toward our place of conceal
ment, although as yet far off, and to judge
from their cries, the trail was growing
hotter every moment. After a run of some
twenty minutes the steady baying was
succeeded by the din of short, sharp yelps,
and then we knew the pack had sighted
the game. We kept perfectly quiet among
the bushes, our guns ready for action and
when the hounds were almost a quarter of
a mile distant we heard a rustling among
the bushes between us and the dogs, a
succession of light, springing leaps, and
then an enormous wild cat bounded into
the clearing.
We should have fired but that our cu
riosity was roused by the eccentric move
ments of the creature. For an Instant he
looked lack in the direction of the hounds,-
then making several aellve springs to the
left he returned to his trail and made as
many springs to the Tight. Then turning
he jumped upon the trunk of a leaning
chestnut tree, which, having been blown
down, had been broken off at some forty
feet from the root. The break was seven
or eight feet from the ground, and the
leaning trunk was pointing in the direc
tion from which the hounds were coming.
The eat ran quickly to the upper end,
but instead of leaping off, as we expected,
he scrambled underneath the trunk, and
crawled out upon a broken limb that pro
jected two or three feet from the lower
side. Here he sat, close crouched, with
his short ears thrown back and his great
yellow eyes glaring fiercely.
Pretty soqn the dogs came up In full
cry on the trail. Three old hounds led
the pack, and these were a little puzzled
when they came to where the cat had
turned aside. The other hounds, most of
them being young, scattered over the
open place, all the while baying lustily,
but without striking the trail at all. The
leaders, having made several starts In
different directions, finally struck the
trail, and were forthwith joined by the
others. ITp the trunk they went, with
sonorous-hay, one right after the otbeg-
Under the end of the log on the broken
limb still crouched the wildcat;' motion
less as stone, except as he bent hts fierce
yellow eyes around him. and moved his
short tail slowly from side to side. Only
the thickness of the log was between
him and the foremost hound; still he did
not move, but only crouched closer to tho
limb. His pursuers paused but for a mo
ment on the log, and then leaped to tho
ground In quick succession. After a lit
tle confusion in searching for the trail,
they started off at full speed on the back
track, and were soon some distance from
the place.
The cat did not move from h!s place
until the hounds were well out of sight.
Then raising his head, he caustiously look
ed round, and. finding no enemies in sight,
he sprang lightly to the ground and start
ed to make off another way. I wished
to reward the animal's sagacity by al
lowing It to escape unhurt, but a shot
from one of the party stopped its course.
THE SIMPLEST CURE ROR
INDIGESTION.
As Well as tlie Snfest anil Cheapest.
The new medical discovery, Stuart’s
Dyspepsia Tablets, digest the food In
stead of making the worn-out stomach
do all the work, give It a much needed
rest, and a cure of dyspepsia Is the nat
ural result.
You get nourishment and rest at the
same time because these Tablets will thor
oughly digest all wholesome food taken
into the stomach whether the stomach
works or not. A cure is certain to result
because the digestive organs are given a
chance to rest and recover their naturnl
vigor and Tone. The tablets are then
no longer required.
To show the manner In which the rem
edy acts on different people and how
quickly and effectually it cures stomach
troubles we present a few recent eases.
Mr. J. O. Wondly of I’eorla. 111., writes:
I was unable to eat anything but the
plainest food, and even that often dis
tressed me, but since using one box of
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets I can eat any
thing and everything I want.
Mns. Samuel Kepple of Glrty, Ta.,
writes: I have been entirely relieved of
my stomach troubles by your tablets. I
suffered three years with sour stomach
and gas at night. I am thankful for
them.
Mrs. A. E. Bowen. Barnard, Vt., writes;
I think Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
the best thing for dyspepsia 1 ever took.
I will recommend them td any one trou
bled as bad as I was.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will not dis
appoint because they cure dyspepsia sure
ly and lastingly by''causing the food to
be properly assimilated, and cure consti
pation by producing the proper quantity
of bile, and sold by all druggists at 50
cents per package.
