REV, T>R. HAYGOOO.
His Address to the People at Cliautdu
qua, New Y'nt%.
Ur. Hut good wjtsvreceived with Chau- ,
ktßqua salute* uini, coming forward, took
two of tlie toy tiags from the stand anul
held them iu hi> hand, which act was
greet ini with round* of applause. He
said :
1 am glad that Georgia is on that flag.
[Applause!]- 1 have st*.a the day that 1
would have died under the other, and if
you cannot take me into the union on that
basis, count me a heathen and a publican.
[Applause.]
There are many differences and yet
many resemblances. I saw out there—
and I will not look that way now—a wro
man crowned with the glory of gray
hairs. When the first battle song was
sung she quivered with memorie , the
tears coursed down her cheeks. Johnny
did not come marching home to her. She
was strangely like a mother who lives in
my town, about the same age, with one
boy shot tlirough the head on the Poto'-
mae, the other buried from the hospital
in Ivichmcmd. Both of these women loye
God and the Lord Jesus Christ, and I
1 know, would help one another and love
T each of her. So we are alike as to many
things, in our heartaches and griefs.
I am very much obliged to the profes
sor and these admirable singers for try
ing to sing a rebel w r ar-song. They can’t
do it. [Applause.] But if there were a
few of Stonewall Jackson’s men here,
and it w r as the year 1862, they could sing
it. But we don’t sing it now. I hare
not tried to sing that song, or any other
army hymn, in a longtime—hardly since
Appomattox. But nobody who has got
the heart of a man in him will ask me to
day to be ashamed that I did sing them
once. [Applause.] But we do not sing
them now. We have buried them for the
most part with that flag we followed for
four long years, fighting for what we be
lieved was the right thing. 1 said there
are also differences. O, if w r e could put
ourselves in each other’s places! Some
times, when I read your papers that
don’t understand us, or read our papers
that don’t understand you, I am remind
ed of a short speech made by an old
Frenchman in Atlanta. We had been or
ganizing home guards and made him
surgeon, Onei night we had a meeting
and called on him for a speech, lie
said: -
“Fellow-citizens, T am in one fix to
make a speech, for last night a storm
come and blew down my stable, and
some o,:c steal my buggy, and my cow
run away. 1 tell you we must whip this
tight. I have been in my own country in
two revolutions; in one I was the con
queror and in the othfer lnvas the con
quered. There is a great deal,©fditei'r
once in those twoleetle letters, and and r.”
When the wise men and women ot the
north have learned the difference between
these two letters, D and R, we will not
need to explain to each other. There will
be so many grounds for patience, and
toleration, and broad manliness, that by
that time we will forget the war, except
in the good things that in the providence
of God it brought to this whole country.
[Applause.] I will tell you how Ido
with.my children. Ido not know whether
I represent a class, for I never asked. I
teach them that this flag represents our
union that is God’s gift to us, that it is
worth dying tor. Then, if they ask me
who Robert E. Lee or Stonewall Jackson
was, what we mean in April, when we
stre v flowers over the humble graves of
our dead soldiers, 1 tell them who they
were, that they were brave, true men. I
do not teach my children to despise their
kindred who fought and died. You
would hate mo if I did. [Applause.]
Hardly anybody is mad now about this
matter. [Laughter.] We have got one
old man in Georgia, and you may have
ono or two in New York, for all 1 know,
who get niadder the farther we get from
the war. [Laughter.] They remind me
of an old countryman in my state who
started to market with a load of apples in
a cart with his wife. They crossed a lit
tle feny, and, coming out, the liind
board of the cart broke loose, and the ap
ples all rolled into the river. The old
man was mad, but for a time he said
nothing. He sat down to contemplate the
scene. Ilis wife went to the house. He
did not come, anti after awhile she said
to iter boy, “Go down to the ferry and
see what has become of your daddy.” lie
came back without his father. “He
won’t come.” “What is he doing?”
“He is siltin’ there eussin’.” [Great
laughter and applause.]
For the most part that sort did not
tight much. What are you going to do
about them? I will tell you what some
papers do. If it happens to bo one of
bur men, your papers take him to be a
representative of the south, and if it
happens to be some one in the north,
some of our papers are foolish enough
and moan enough to call him a repre
sentative of the north. What are we go
ing to do with these men sitting down
there at the ferry cursing these twenty
years after the fighting? Let them curse
on. [ Laughton] But go on and raise,
more apples. [Long continued applause
and laughter:]
1 pity a southern man whose convic
tions of honor and sense of historic posi
liou arc so,feebly bassed that lie gets into
a rage ovei y time a northern man disa
grees with In iff. And 1 pity a northern
man who must explode every

ways stay at home.generally have very
tixed ideas, with deep roots, but they are
not wide ones.
I am much obliged U.Judge Tourgee
tor the many strong and admirable points
made in his speech, i wapt Jo tell yop—
it these states in vvhich Jdtavo Jived are
to be counted iu the up ion, and are to
stay in the L nioq,, you.ought to ask of us
this: Fidelity to the constitution and its
amendments, to the declaration of inde
pendence and this flag, and-no more.
[Applause.] There is, i the Citadel
square, at Quebec, a bootrtiflul monument,
that could not liave been built by pagan
nations. It is in sight, qf the fields of
Abraham, where brave Englishmen, fol
lowing the flag of St. George, and brave
Frenchmen, following the lillies, went
down in the blood and storm of battle.
The brave leaders died that day, and that
monument in the Citadel square at Que
bec has on oae side the name of Mont
calm and on the other tile name of Wolfe.
What would you tbiukof an Englishman
and a Frenchman to-day who would
meet at the base of that monument and
fall out with each other about the battle
on the plains of Abraham ? If it would
not be right for the and the
Frenchman to haye * .-burnings to
day, standing in such _ place, how is it
with us twenty years after the battle?
Are not heart-burnings out of
place?
Last night I was at a little Ration in
Ohio waiting for the train, jg Pfras read
ing a gcod book. I M ill gfe.e you one
sentence from if: “It is often said of
men when they come to die that fchyy be
come reconciled to their enemies.” The
author added: “They ought to do it
now.” I stand on that basis. [Applause.]
I will not keep you much longeF- :
There are some circumstances brought
up to-day that I understand much better
than the choir. Fqr instance, that
“Marching Through Georgia” business.
I tell you, the historic truth is in it.
Poetry has written fyistory • for you got
mighty near all the gobblers [Applause
and laughter], and most of the sweet
potatoes [Applause and laughter]; and if
ever an army had an easy time marching
300 miles on fpir roads in dry weather,
you had it. [Laughter,] Georgia had
sent out about 130,000 men, but they
were elsewhere. I have got a piece of
news to tell you about that
Through Georgia.that you don’t know.
On the road betvfecu my house and At
lanta is a litUe town near the Stone
Mountain. ,/Two months after you
marched through, I went back, not
inarching much; l was getting along the
best I could with some, very broken down
mqles that bad lost tlftir ordinary vi
vacity. I noticed in that little town not
less than a dogen chimueys. You know
what war does; it burns houses; that is
what it means. War is hell. Pardon
the roughness; that is w hat it is; war is
hell. I saw, as I came along to Chautau
qua, that the last of these chimneys had
a house built to it. It had stood for
eighteen years or more, but this spring
a house had been built on it and I was
glad.
We are raising up boys there that
some of these days, should there be oc
casion for it, wtiich God forbid if it
please Him, would fight under that flag,
as the Highlanders whose ancestors
fought under Bruce, fight for the flag of
St. George. I did not come here for
gush, but I am glad in my soul, as I said
in the beginning, that Georgia is on that
flag. [Applause.] I love this country,
I believe in it, that it has a mission to
the nations of this world, and that it will
accomplish more than statesmen under
stand. But in the prophetic heart of the
church there is a deep feeling somehow
that the deliverance of every nation from
bondage, the evangelization of the world
largely belongs to this people. It could
not have been done with a divided union.
[Applause.] I say it with reverence in
this place, it would have marred the stu
pendous plans of divine providence. But
now, after all that God has done in set
ting men free in this country, we can go
on, working out by His great help the
noblest problem ever given a civilized
nation in this world.
Now, God keep us in the peace of the
Lord Jesus Christ, and the constitution
and declaration of independence,and this
book, which is the magna charta ot the
world’s intelligence and the world’s free
dom. [Prolonged applause.J
ALFONSO’S VISIT.
Tlic Spanish King in Munich—His Visit to
England Deferred.
Munich, September S. —King Alfonso
with his suite arrived last evening, and
was cordially received. He will continue
his journey to Vienna to-day.
The correspondent of the Times at Pa
ris says King Alfonso’s first intention as
to his projected journey was to visit Eng
land, Belgium, Austria and Germany,
and return to Madrid by way of France,
but Queen Victoria sent a request to the
king begging him to defer his visit to
England, owing to the precarious state
ot her majesty’s health. The dispatch
also states that owing to the recent poli
tical events -n Spain, the jdtfrftiy of the
king was reduced, allowing only a short
visit to Austria, German}’ and France.
At the interview yesterday between
King AL’miso and MYChallomel Laeour,
French minister of foreign affairs, the
latte;* gave assurances to the king that the
tone of the Freach papers, of which
Spain complained during the rising in
that country, should be attributed to
the government of the, republic which
had never ceased to shn\v : its earnest de
sire for peace in Spain.
Pamplona, Spain, 'September 8. —A
Spanish sergeant and four soldiers raised
a standard on the frontier, proclaiming a
republic, after which they fled to France.
VANDERBILT'S GREAT WEALTH.
Gath in the Cincinnati Enquirer,]
“Can you tell me,” I asked, “where
Vanderbilt’s money, I mean the old
man’s money, is now invested?”
“He has $45,000,000 in government
bonds left. He has $20,000,000 in Lake
Shore and New York Central, probably
more of it in Lake Shore. He has $lO,-
000,000 in Northwestern stock and bonds.
He has stock in the Red Line and other
freight companies. He has something
in Michigan Central, I estimate his
wealth at from $150,000,000 to $200,000,-
000.
“Here is the report of the Central up
to one year ago: It had only 4,500 stock
holders in 1880. Two years later it had
7,500. That shows that Vanderbilt had
sold his long line of stocks, whatever he
may say, and that a larger public had
got hold of them. Again, the funded
debt of the New York Central ten years
ago was only $27,000,000; last year it
was $48,000,000. Here you can read in
the official report the figures. Again,
the fixed charges on the New York Cen
tral, by which I mean interest on the
bonds, were only $2,000, 000 a year, and
last year they were $5,500,000, which
that road has to earn before anybody can
get a dividend on his stock. At the
same time, as you can see by following
my finger, the net earnings of the New
York Central railroad are not as large’by
$2,000,000 as they were nine years ago.
They reached the highest point in 1880.
They were just the same in 1882 that
they were in 1873.”
Said I, “lVhy do you turn so particu
larly to the Central stock?”
“Because it has led all the properties
in the United States, certainly in this
stock market, for years past. It has
been paying eight per cent, dividends.
jlt is the backbone of the New York
stock market. It has paid over $7,000,-
year in dividends in eleven years,
il
thirty per cent, it is for reasons which
are general to the whole stock list.”
“Have Vanderbilt’s sons no influ
ence to fight this stock back to where it
was?”
“They have lost money trying to stem
the tide in ” stock market. Every one
of VanderbilVs strong supporters who
lias stood iu the way of this current of li
quidation has been hurt badly. Mr.
Vanderbilt’s oldest son, Cornelius, is a
yery worthy He attends the
prayer-meetings in the New York Cen
tral Depot eyery Sunday afternoon, and
he started that br&nejj of the Christian
Association which nYipirathere. William
K. Vanderbilt, the son, is the presi
dent of the Nickel-Plate road and in the
executive board of the Central, but he
knows enough to see that the smaller
fortunes of himself and family could be
swept away on the bull side ot things at
present. The fact Is, that as great as
the increase of our country is in popula
tion and production, it has not grown as
fast as competition. The increase is be
ing perpetually discounted by new car
rying corporations. Next year the en
tire way business of the New York Cen
tral will be divided up by an active
young rival.”
THE OLD TICKET.
Indianapolis, September B.—John J.
Cooper, treasurer of state, and one of
Indiana’s leading democrats, just return
ed from Saratoga, says he had a long talk
with John Kelly. Kelly said he could
not tell whether Mr. Tildcn had made up
his mind to be candidate or not; but if he
had made up bis mind to be a candidate,
then he would certainly be nominated
and Tammany would support him. The
ticket would then be Tilden and Hen
dricks. Mr. Kelly said that he had seen
representatives from every southern
state, and did not think their preference
was for the old ticket, but rather for Mc-
Donald. Mr. Cooper said othor promi
nent demoeratis politicians talked just
the opposite concerning southern opinion.
He also heard New York democrats talk
of agitating the old ticket in order to get
Hendricks’s assent to second place, and
than to spring the name of Ilewitt or
Flowers, both of whom are very wealthy,
for the first place, and thereby make the
ticket to read Ilewitt and Hendricks or
Flowers and Hendricks.

BARTOW LIQUOR RILT,.
The Action of the Senate on the Question
on the 12th inst.
Rome Courier.]
The liquor bill for Bartow county was
taken up on motion of Mr. McDonald,
he staging that, as chairman of the tem
perance committee, he was requested by
the visiting citizens from Bartow to do
so. Mr. Baker stated that he desired to
speak ten minutes on the matter, alluding
to the temperance “monomaniac” who
who seemed disposed to take in hand his
•ounty matters.
Mr. McDonald submitted a petition ot
Bartow' citizens. Mr. Baker had the
heading of certain petitions read. The
petitions wore for and against prohibi
tion.
Mr. Tutt offered a resolution that dur
ing the discussion the president’s desk
be draped appropriately with the peti
tions. (Laughter.)
Mr. Baker spoke on the bill. He allud
ed to his vexations as a senator, and said
he had regretted a hundred times that
he was a senator. He chastised himself
for not introducing a bill against lobby
ing. He charged that all the advocates
of this temperance movement were fa
natics, laboring under mania, and inca
pable of equilibrium of mind. A major
ity of the voters of Bartow petitioned
the legislature not to force an election for
or against whisky upon them. lie pro
posed to deal with the question as a sane
man, and not as the monomaniacs who
opposed him at home. The bill requires
all physicians to violate the ethics of his
profession, by making them tell profes
sional secrets. It was a cursed bill. It
would be a terror to the people for fear of
being dragged to the court-house.
Mr. Baker wanted to deal a few min
utes with the fanatics, and especially
with the senator from the sth (Mr. Mc-
Donald.)
Mr. McDonald —Take care of yourself.
Mr. Baker said this temperance move
ment was a fanatical wave, from the
north. He proposed to discuss the sub
ject scientifically. Liquor was a neces
sary evil. It was necessary to health,
and restriction must be thrown around
it. All nationalities have their stimu
lants, based upon natural needs. There
was more blind fanaticism in the rural
sections. In the cities and metropolises
the people were more informed and less
fanatical. The liquor legislation had
extended the session a month. Mr. Ba
ker concluded with a severe characteriza
tion of temperance advocates and cham
pionship.
Mr. Livingston replied to Mr. Baker.
The visiting gentlemen from Bartow
who had been invited to seats on the
floor, and could not reply, merited the
courtesy of senators. In regard to the
petitions, Mr. Baker rnaijo the point that
the signers againtt the bill were voters,
and those for it largely women and chil
dren. He replied that the women and
children w r ere entitled to protection, and
had a right to petition for it. Mr. Liv
ingston made a strong plea for temper
ance. Let the people have a chance
now to settle this question for themselves.
Mr. Dußignon stated that he would
explain the reason for voting against the
bill. The one question is, shall this elec
tion be held ? The senator says a majori
ty of Bartow do not want an election.
This, then, should decide the measure.
Mr. Tatum moved to adjourn to 3
o’clock. Carried.
M. C. Turner, Savannah, Ga., says:
“My children were suffering from impure
blood and were relieved by Brown’s Iron
Bitters.”
In one of the mountainous districts of
Bavaria there is a town called Mitten
wald, shut in by snow-clad peaks and
dense forests, in which every yard is
crossed by a labyrinth of ropes and poles
on which hundreds of violins are hung
up to dry. For a couple of centuries
the entire industry of the town has been
violin-making, for which the surround
ing forests produce the best of materials.
Men, wometi and children all have their
alluted share of the work, and violins,
’cellos, bass viols, zithers and every
stringed instrument, from the copy of
some old and priceless StraJivarius, per
fect it form, color and tone, down to the
cheapest banjo, are exported it: great
quantities, all hand made, to every quar
ter of the globe.

IINCOLN AS A YOUNG LAWYER.
Col. K. K. Jones, in Chicago Inter-Ocean.j
I had been sent to Springfield and in
tervening towns to make some, collec
tions. 1 think It was in 1843. I was
told that the party I was to see InSpring
field, was a tough case, and to put the
demand at once in the hands of some re
liable attorney and if he got the money
to pay that attorney S4O. I arrived at
Springfield just before dinner. With
the zeal of a boy on his first expedition I
did not wait to “wash-up” and get my
dinner. I tackled the landlord, who was
busy and naturally cross. Said I:
“Where will I find a lawyer who is reli
able and will tote fair with a boy and—”
“O go, and see old Abe,” said he.
“OM Abe who?” said I. “O, bother,”
said the landlord, “go out on the street
there and inquire for Old Abe. Any
body can tell you where to find him.”
I walked along the street and asked the
first man l met where I could find Old
Abe. That now famous little one-story
office was pointed out, and I went in.
There, with an open law book on a table
before him, with his hands clasped just
below one knee, sat a man who turned
that genial but rugged face and looked
at m3. 1 then and there fell in love with
him. I was an original Lincoln man
from that hour. Abraham Lincoln nev
er impressed me as a homely or ungainly
man, but always as a lovable man.
I said: “The landlord up there, w hen
I asked him where 1 could find a lawyer
would talk fair and square with a green
boy”—
“O, yes,” said he, with that peculiar
twinkle Jof his eyes. “I suppose lie said,
‘Go and see Old Abe ?!’ ”
“Yes, sir, he said that, and when l
asked him who Old Abe w r as he said any
body w ould tell me where to find you.”
“With grave but unostentatious dig
nity he said : “My name is Lincoln—
Abraham Lincoln. What is it I can do
for you ?”
I stated my business. He said :
“I understand what is wanted. Go
and get your dinner ami spend your time
as pleasantly as may be, and I w ill call
this evening after supper and report pro
gress.”
Before dark te came to the hotel and
beckoned me into a room across the hall,
sat down at a table, Look out a specie-hag
and shook it merrily, sayiug, in a confid
ential undertone :
“I’ve got it, dollar for dollar.”
He counted the money, put it hack into
the bag and handed it to me, saying:
“There, my boy, l think that job is
worth S2O. I was perfectly elated, and
showed it. 1 took out of the bag $lO, and
hustled it across the table toward him.
Taking half of it he said: “L only want
S2O. I think it worth that.”
“So do I, forty. Fa said it you got the
money to give you S4O. It is yours.”
“It is not mine.”
“I w T on’t take it back. Pa told me to
pay S4O. You shall keep it.”
I met Mr. Lincoln casually several
times after that; the last and only time
after his election, in the White House, in
April, 1862. lie looked careworn and
pre-occupied. But, with the old twinkle
in his eyes he asked:
“What was it pa said?”
Mrs. Hodges, Jones st., Savannah, Ga.,
gays: “Brown’s Iron Bitters cured me
of general debility.”
SAW HILL’S WIDOW.
She applies for a Divorce In the Superior
Court ofDeKalh County.
Sam Hill’s widow again comes to pub
lic notice. It is pardonable to call her a
widow as the wily Sam isdeath|to her and
the balance of this section. This time
she appears in the light of a litigant. In
DeKalb superior court “Mrs. Toecoa S.
Hill” lias instituted suit for divorce
against her husband, Samuel 11. Hill.
The story of this woman’s life is full of
romance of a readable sort. She married
Sam Hill, a well known sporting man
when she w as quite young, and it may be
said quite handsome also. Hill was con
fiding and was away from home a great
deal while his wife was drifted into a
whirlpool of gaycty which ruined her and
several others, among them her husband.
To make a stale story short, Sam Hili
became aware of bis wife’s infidelity and
ot' the fact that John Simmons, a prom
inent ybung man ot Atlanta, was one of
her frequent eon pan ions iu her noetural
tours. He looked for Simmons and
found him in the National hotel taking a
drink.
“Draw, damn you, you’ve got to do it,*’
said Hill, and with that lie shot Simmons
in the head and lie fell dead at, his feet.
Hill gave himself up, was tried and
convicted, and on a recommendation to
mercy was sentenced to the penitentiary
for life. Pending a motion for anew
trial lie was adjudged insane. He was
sent to the asylum, and unlocking
numerous doors with a false Key escaped
tovthe outside, sealed a high wall and
fled, tic lias never been recaptured.
His v. itc went to Puuthersyilb*, in De-
Kalb county, where she has since lived.
There is no reason why she should not
have a divorce, and she vvjij probably
