GHOULISH HYENAS.
In the stormy days when the
grtat Benj. H. Hill was a Geor
gia senator in congress, he char
acterized Senator Jambs G.
Blaine, of Maine, “a hyena,” in
replying to a speech of the New
England “statesman," traducing
and maligning the South’s dead
heroes. The Southern papers
caught at the appropriate pseu
donym and for years the flatter
ing title stuck to “The Plumed
Knight,” as his admirers sought
to have him called, by way of
an offset to the other charm
ing appellation.
His ghoul-like conduct, in the
case referred to may have cost
“Hyena Blaine” the United
States presidency, when later he
became a candidate for that high
office.
From time to time, since
Blaine’s day, the halls of con
gress, in one house or the other,
have been the scenes of similar
coffin-riflings, by various small
bore demagogues; but about the
pygmiest of all the ghoulish
gang is a certain Northwestern
senator named Hey burn, who has
over and over again disgusted the
upper-housemen, of both parties,
by his splenetic abuseof the South
In reply to that foul calumnia
tor,Senator William Alden Smith,
of Michigan, who, like many
other Northern men, is A gen
tleman, recently uttered the
following words:
“You on the other side are
asked to forget the war, forget
what you" suffered. Why. Mr.
President, I would desp : se a
Southern manjyho would ever
forget the loyalty and the bravery
ana the daring and the heroism
and the sacrifices 'that people
made in a catfse they believed to
be right, -’ffihat isippart of the
history of our country, written
by the sword and attested by the
gallantry of our own country
men on every battlefield in the
South. I respect the men who
wore the gray; I honor their in
trepidity and skill, attested on a
hundred battlefields, from -Bull
Run to Appomattox. Sir, their
daring touched the highest mark
ever.attained in patriotic devo
tion to country and the valor dis-r
played on both sides is our rich
est heritage. But, sir, I do not
know a soldier in the North who
is not broad and generous and
catholic, who does not look upon
the Southern soldier living with
kindness’and sympathy and at
fection and good will. Their
loyal devotion to a principle which
they themselves thought dear
will excite the admiration of
future generations of men the
whole world round, and is the
proud legacy of the sons and
daughters of the Southland. Sir,
those men have cared for their
wounded and suffering; they have
asked no pension from the govern
ment against which they rebelled.
With a solicitude which we may
wellemulate, they bound'up their
wounds and nursed their own
sick and dying and cared for their
dead and rebult their own devas
tated states ahd voluntarily bur
dened themselves that we might
pension our heroes and house
them in comfort in their declin
ing years.” H.

Miss Lawson And
Mr. Grant Wed.
A quiet wedding of interest
was that of this morning when
Mr. James D. Grant, of Jackson
ville, Fla,, and Miss Maggie
Lawson, of this city were marri
ed. The ceremony took place at
the home of Mr. and Mrs..,J. D.
Harrison, on North Foster street,
this morning at 7 o’clock, and
Rev. F. A. Rogers, of the Foster
Street Methodist Church offici
ated in an impressive manner.
The parlor was prettily decora
ted for the occasion with cut
flowers and potted plants and a
number of candles tastefully ar
ranged about the room shed .a
soft light over the happy gather
ing.
The ceremony was opened with
Wedding March, softly rendered
two beautiful solos, “I Love You
Truly,” by Miss .VirgieHarrison,
and “What is the World without
You,” by Mrs. F. M. Gaines.
The bride and groom entered to
the strains of Mendlesshon’
by Miss Virgie Harrison, and in
the presence of a few friends^
Rev. Rogers spoke the words
that joinecTthem as a man and
wife.
Thet bride wore a tan suit with
hat, gloves and Shoes to match.
Mr. Grant was formerly of this.
city, with- Gude <k Company, the
-federal building contractors, anc!
holds a fine position with them
now at Jacksonville, Fla.; where
he and his wife will reside for
the present.
Mrs. Grant had been an im
portant attache of the clerical
force of the Coast Line depot at
this city for several years. By
her kind disposition and pleasing
manners, she has made many
friends in Dothan who extend
their best wishes for a long life
of happiness.
Mr. and Mrs. Grant left tlis
morning for Jacksonville, Fia.,
where they will make their home
for a while. They will go from
there toLaGrange, Ga., and from
there to Aberdeen, Scotland, the
groom’s old home.
The above is a clipping from
the Dothan Eagle.
We make note of the above
because Miss Lawson is a sister
of our efficient depot agent and
has visited Cairo on several occa
sions and has made many friends
here who will be glad to learn
this news.
