Daniel J. McEntire—We may not
be able lo locale exactly the spot
which -may claim honor as the birth
place of “ Daniel,” but we have no
doubt but jthat future generations
will watch with indefatigable zeal until
they find ii. It is situated some
where iu that region where the
illimitable “pinder fields ” aiul un
fathomable cypress swamps of our
own state verge toward the bound
less “ pine barrens ” ot the “ land of
flowers.”
Somewhere iu this unexplored
region Mr. MeEutyrc spent his youth,
sometimes chasing the “crop-eared”
sow over the “ pinder-tiehls,’’ some
times re-ting from the toils of the
chase amid to cooling wind of some
adjacent swamp.
Rut ambition at length tired his
soul, and no longer satisfied with
“ hog ar.d hominy ” and “ pimlers ”
he emerged from the chiniy depths
aud shook off the nluvial which clung
lovingly about his person.
Though Mr. MeEntyre hails from
towards ihe “ land ot flowers’ 7 he is
Antony-er he-er only speaks-er right
on-er, and-or tells you-er that-er
which he-er hitnsi lf-er doih or know,
(which d« n't l.ke hi long.) M .
MeEntyrc’s stylo as an orator could
hot be better illustrated than by a
comparison with Mr. John Jay
Hugely. While Mr. If. would say,
Mr. President, I fail to comprehend
the force of the gentleman’s ohserva
lions. Mr. McEntire would say,
Mis’er i*r l’icsi t?ia»(, I dottT-i r see
the piut-er.
As a narhamentariati and a soldier
Mr. MeEntyre lias few equals and no
inferiors.

The Medals.
The medal question is now the
subject of a good deal of discussion
and resolutions have been introduced
in each Society, looking to their abo
lition. These are to go iuto effect in
each Society only upon condition
that the other Society take like
action. -
We have not the remotest personal
interest in the matter and therefore
what we say is prompted solely by
what we believe to be the best
interests of the Societies.
As the matter now stands every
member is . heavily taxed lo provide
an incentive to exertion on the part
of five or six members. The ques
tion is, does this pay ?
If the reward thus provided could
be made to operate on every indi
vidual—in other words, if nil could
be candidates for these honors, each
would receive 60111c benefit, and all
get some return fer the tax which he
pays. But as this arrangement is
thought to be impracticable we be
lieve it would be a good thing to
abolish the medals altogether and
devoto the fines to some other ob
ject. Our libraries are constantly
needing additions and the money
thus appropriated would benefit
every individual and build up the
best interests ot otir societies, -1^
efrerymau jHmder'the* question, and?
bo ready to support the resolutions
when they shall come up.

Incredible as it may eeom, ten short
years have transformed the urchin into
the mighty potentate, the sound of

hearts of ^trembling parliamentarians.
We would not have it understood
that Mr. Mcll is stall jupiter-like,
with thunders on bis brow and light
ening flashing from his eye. On the
emiti ary he is a gentle youth of
eighteen or nineteen, with a mous
tache faintly disceruahle with the most
powerful magnifying glasses, and a
smile which for sweetness we have
never seen surpassed.
Hence originates, we suppose, his
sobriquet of “ Dulcy ” which is doubt
less a corruption of the Latin “dulcis.”
This “ smile ” is calculated to work
aad baroe in the female heart, but

its power upon the fair sex.

Prize Drill.
The prize drill of the cadets was
highly creditable to officers and men.
After a close contest, the prizes
were delivered in a neat and graceful
little speech by Mr. \V. L. Palmer,
corporal Menard receiving the cane
and Ollie Fuller, the second prize in
Company • A.’’ Iu “ 11.’’ Mr. llaoi-
mond was the happy recipient of the
first prize and W. F. Simpson, of the
second.
Considering the battery of bright
eyes which was leveled upon them
from the balcony’, the boys stood up
right bravely, though we noticed some
shaky knce3.
Our young friend Remington de
serves honorable mention, as despite of
difficulties be was among the last

will, learn many sweet lessons of
faith and charity from these silent,
lovely teachers.
’ Now, while I am talking about
flowers I:must tell you of a sweet
little circumstance connected with
them. > There is hanging in our
veranda, just opposite the sitting
room window, a basket filled with
vines in which a tiny blown sparrow
has built her nest. It was a pleasant
study to watch her while building
and making preparations for keep
ing house, as she would flit to and
fro, and collect her materials, then
peer cautiously around until seeing
no danger near fly up into the basket.
When having deposited her mouthful
of straw she would carefully arrange
it with a grace and precision that
man with all bis boasted wisdom
could never attain to. Now’, four
small nestlings fill the tiny home and
engage her attention ; it is a sweet
sight—her diligence in providing for
their wants, her tender solicitude
when danger threatens, in alt o.
hicli the maternal instinct is so
plainly displayed. We are daily
reminded of our Father’s tender,
watchful care over all his creatures
and the fact that not even, so.small a
thing as a sparrow falls to the ground,
without his knowledge.
There was an excursion to Atlanta

I did not reply promptly to your
circular touching the power of the
next general assembly to accomplish
any local legislation—both because of
my temporary absence from home

I ventured to hope that some other

find such obstacles to the passage of
local laws as I did. I was, there

nity to Have iny views changed, if
