Evans, of Georgia, as commander in-chief to succeed the late General Stephen D. Leo, the United Con federate Veterans adjourned their annual convention late this after noon. The selection of the place of meeting aroused great rivalry be tween Memphis and Atlanta, these two cities being the only ones put in nomination- Strong speeches were made for each place, hut when Virginia came over to the side < f Memphis, the Atlanta supporters realized that the fight was lost.

The Command to love. You are not commanded simply to love your neighbor. There isa very important qualification attached thereto, and, with it, there comes in to play the grim humor that lights up the pages of Scripture; and be sure the uttermost depths are sound- ed. The command is a large and healthy invitation to self-knowledge, the necessity of which has been in sisted on by the sages and prophets of all the tribes of men since experi ence came out of the underbrush, full of wounds and bruises, in search of a full meal and a soft pallet. The behest is simply to love your neighbors as you love yourself, and. the qualification is such as to fit iv- ry case; for wLm mu. look frank ly into tin 1 < • pll.s < f your own heart —into the dark nom, as it were, where your native thoughts and desire .-.otic at. I rage, and! •atch a glimpse, h >wv. r fleeting, of the lair of the least, you will have to acquire a strange taste for what is alto. -:t wholly bad if you fall in love with the things you find there. Let ho thin scum (1 piety, howev' r nod it may lie, inter fere with the thoroughness of this self-examination; let no veneer of culture and refinement come be tween your vision and the thing you really are; and when you have seen all there is to be seen, and learned a great deal you never knew lief ore, you will he compelled to admit that your neighbor must indeed be a monster if you cannot Live him as you love yourself. — Joel Chandler Harris, in Ui e’e Re - mus’s— fTHK~ Ho.mk Mauazine for June.
