The Urge banquet ing towfll w*» net for 100 coven, Uhe ct- KuigaraeQt being one large table with many smaller onoa. With the exception of che main'tteble, on which at inter val* inhere was banka of roses, there were no decorations. E. Noth presided, and seated with him et the main table were Henry Watterson, Charles A. Bou telle, Moj. Oen. Nelson A. Miles, John DaCJell, Chaunoey Id. Depew, Jornes C. Carter and Cornelius N. Bliss. Among c/Rher prominent guests were Seth E. Thom as, Collls P. Huntington and John H. Jimma. The orator* were: Congressman Bou- Hello of Mlaine, who apoku upon the k 'Puritan Heaven in American Charac ter”; Dr. Edwin C. Bolloton, "Ply-’ moi/rih Rook of ttro Puritan Founds Hwi”; Congressman Dalxell, on tho ''Pilgrim of Today.” and Henrry Wtit- tensm, “The Puritan oud the Cava lier.” Col. W»ttof»on spoke as follows*. COL. WATTERSON'S ADDRESS. Eight yeararago tjo-olght there stood where I am standing now a young Georgian, who, not without reason, recognised the “significance” of his pn*eenee hero—”Ui* flrst Sou'thorner to speak at this hoard”—a circumstance, lee me add, not very creditable to any of ua-tind who, in words whose elo quence 1 cflMiot hope to recall, ap pealed from the New Houlh to Now England for a united country. He was my disciple, my prott?j?e, my friend. 11? at mu to mo from the South ern schools, where he hud pursued tho arts of oratory and letter*, to get a few hints In Journalism, as he said; Holding so few, indeed, that but a lit tle later, j sent him to ono of the fore- im«t Journalists of this foremost city, biviring letter of liitreductkm which described him tw "the greatest boy ever born in Dixie, or anywhere else.” He fa gouo now. But, hIjoU hs his life was, Its’heaven-born mlfwlon was fulfilled; the dream of its childhood was realized; for he tutfl been appoint ed by Cod to carry a menage of peaco on earth, good wall to men, und, this done, lio~\unlah.«d from the sight of mortal eyes, oven as tho dovo from the ark. X mean to take up tho word where Grady left It off; out I *Us4l continue th* sdntanot with a somewhat larger confidence, and, perhaps, with a some what fuller meaning;-• bscauss, not withstanding the Puritan trappliigs, traditions fund iMNniwow which «ur- rouaid mo—visible llluMrtfUUxnM of the self-denylDig fortitude of' tHe Puritan character anxl Ihe somber slmpUcity of tho puritan »nsi > and llablt I never felt less out of pin** 1 ' In all my life. To tell you. Ui»* ttiifli, I lam pfrtijrt that I hnvo gnlncttVi^'ss here* bn false 3 • r .r I .tin n«* cav.TlIer at all; just, plain UcotcMrisli; one of those 8oofch-Jiiah Southerners who nto no Are kl the green leaf and has oaten no dirt In the brown, and who, accepting, for tho moment, the terms Puritan and CavaUer In tho sends an effete sectlon- allam once pought to ascribe to them— dasoripUso ViNMs at one* classifying and neparntlng North and South—ver- tool redoubts along that mythical* lino called Mason and Dixon, over which there wore *uppo»ed by the extrtmlstH of other dayo to be no bridges—I nm much disposed to say, "A plague o’ both your houses!” Each was good enough and bad enough in Its way, whilst they lasted: each in Its turn Ailed the English* ■pOSlllng* world with mourning; and • It i. If cl'lit could have rod tried the Infection of tho soli and climato they found here, would be today striving at the sword's point to square life by tho Iron rule of Theocracy, or to round It by the dlsxy vyhlrl of a petticoat! It la very pretty to read about the (Maypole In Vliglntar nnd very edifying and In spiring fo celebrate the deeds of tiv* Pilgrim AlAitia But there is not Cav- tillor blood enough left in the OM Do minion to pnnduo* a single crop of fliwt families, whilst out In Nebrnkn n.nd they claim that they have so HUtppad New Etigland of her puritan tfiock as to spare her hardly enough for farmhand*. Thin I do know from personal experience, Mint It la Impoa- •Abt* for U»e stmnger-guest, sitting bo- jwtli a bower of rosea In the lMlmet- to Club at Charleston, or by a mlmlo logheap H\ tho Algonquin Club at Bos ton to tell tho assembled company iiixirt, particularly after 10 o'clock In the evening! Why. in that *cr«‘Ht Anal otrugads between the Puritans and the Oavahem—jwhldh we still hear some- tlmeV\\um.tlly mentioned—although It (Staled nearly thlntar • years ago—there bad been .such a mixing up of Puritan HiMca atM Cavalier taftcAflt during the two or tiirce generations prcoedWiff It— that tho surviving grandmothers of the combatants could not, exospt for Vhelr uniforms, have picked out their own on any field of battle. Turning to the Encyclopedia of American Biography, 1 tlml that Wel>- **ter had all the vices that are supposed to have signalised the Qi trailer, nnd , Calhoun all tho virtues that are ; claimed for tho Puritan. During tw«v ty years three wmiesmen of Puritan origin were tho chosen party leaders .of CavaUer . Mississippi: Robert J. .•Walker, lorn and reared In Pennsyl vania: John A. Quitman, horu aud • reared {» New York, and Sargent 8. PrtfflM, bom and reared in the good oM state of Maine. That sturdy Puri tan. John sided, never «t\v Louisiana urrtlt he wti» old enough to vote and to light; native here—an alumnus of Columbia College—bur sprung from ?)fiW England artoartera. A'bnrt Sidney Johnson; the imat reaplceidant of mod* era Oivallem— from trig to to* a type of tShe speolea—the very, rose nnd ex- •pecfancy of the young Confe*V*mcy— did not have a drop of Southern blood ,ln hie veins; Yankee on both itMee of the house, though born in K<*ntucky a wiuie hts father nnd mother arrived tV> re fm-nn Connecticut. The umhai*ador who serve* our gov- tamment near the VTaati repubitc was a gallant Confederate nMdter, and la ft repreaentative Southern at*teaman; but he owns the o*tat« In Mnef*achu- oetta where his father was Pore and ■where his fathi*r*a ra-ther* lived through many generation*. Acsl tha Chvahcrs who missed %helr Mlrnma somehow and got into Yankee mo3)«T The wwdi were fult of them. If Cutter was not a Cavalier Rupert was a Puritan. And Hherwood nnd Wadsworth a«ld Kearney, and McPher- non and their dashing c>mpani«ma and foil-orara! The one t>*ptcoj Purtun *cC dier of the war—mark you!—ww« a Poutham and net a Northern Midler; Sionendl Jackson of the Virginia line. And. If we should care to pursue the subject further hack, what about J-’h.m Alltai and John stark and Mad Anthony Wayne, Cavalier* each sad every one? Indeed, from Israel Putnam to Buffalo Bill, it aeem* to me the Puri- tana have had much *iie best*of it to turning out Ctevniiers* Bo the least said about the Puritan and the Cavalier— exoept as blessed memories or horrid eramplee—the' better for historic ac curacy. If you wish to jp?t at the bottom facts, I don't mind triling you—In ooo- Adence-qhat it was wo Scotcu-Iriah who vanquished both of you—some of us in peace—others of us in war—sup* plylutf the mhaing link of adaptability —the needed ingredient of common sense—the conservative principle or creed acS'l action to which this genera tion o'f Americans owes its intellectual and inorvil end nd pad on frem frivolity and praarlcaiMii—jw rescue from tile Scftriet Woman and the mailed hand— nnd its crysta-lllzation into a national character and* polity, ruling by foroe of brains and not by force of arms. Gantlemen—«lr—I, too, have been to Boston. Strange a« the admission may seem, it Is true; and I live to tell the tale. I have been to Boston; and, when I de clare that 1 found there many things that suggested the Cavalier and did not sug gest the Puritan, I shall not say I was sorry. But, among other things, I found there a civilisation perfect In Its union of the art of. living with the grace of life; an Americanism Ideal In Its simple strength. Grady told us. and told us truly, of that typical American, who. In Dr. Tai™*®’* mind, eye, wa» coming, but -who, In Abrah.m Lincoln's actuality, had already come. In tome recent atudle. Into the career of that great man I have encountered many atartllng confirmations of this Judgment; and from that rugged trunk, drawing Ita auatenance from gnarled root*. Interlocked with Cavalier •praya and Puritan branchee deep beneath the soli .hall spring, l< epringlng a shape ly tree—.ymmotrlc in nil Us pirta—under whose sheltering boughs this nation shall have th# new birth of freedom Lincoln promised It, and mankind the refuge which was sought by the forefathers when they lied from oppression- Thank Ood, the a», tho glt/bet nnd the stake have bad their day. They have gone, let ua hope, to keep company with the lost arte. It has been demonstrated that great wrongs may be redressed and gTeat reforms bo achieved without the shedding of one drop of human blood; that ven geance does not purify, but brutallies; and that tolrtance, which In private transactions Is reckoned a virtue, be comes In public affairs a dogma of the most far-seeing statesmanship. Else how could thU nohle city have been redeemed from bondage? It was held like a castle of the middle sges by robber barons. Yet have the mounds and dyken of corrup tion been carried—from buttress to bell- tower tho walls of crime havo fallen— without a shot out of a gun. and still no tires of Bmlthfleld to light tho pathway of tho victor, no bloody asalse. to vindi cate tho Justlco of tho cause; nor need of any. 8o I appeal from ths men In silken hOBe who danced to mdslc made by slaves— and called It freedom—from the men In bell-crowned hate who led Hester Prynno to her shamo—and colled It religion—to that Amerlcaslam which reaches forth Its arms to amlte wrong with reason and truth, secure In tho power of both. X ap peal from the patriarchs of Now England to the poeta of New England; from Kndl- cott to Lowell; from Norton to Holmes; from Wtnthrop to Longfellow; and I ap peal In tho raumo and by the rights of that common citizenship—of that common origin—back both of tho Puritan and tho Cavalier—to which nil of us owe our being. Let the dead past, consecrated by tho blood of its martyrs, not by Its aav- njfo hatrede-darkenod alike by kingcraft and priestcraft—lot tho dond past bury its (load. Lot tho present and tho future ring with tho song of tho singers. Blessed be tho lessons thoy teach, the laws they make. Blessed bo tho eye to aoc, tho light to reveal. Blessed be Tolerance, sitting over on tho right hand of God to guide tho way with loving word, as blessed be nil that brings us nearer tho goal of true religion, tree republicanism and true pa- tlotlsm. distrust of watch-words nnd la bels, slmms and heroes, belief in our country and ouraelvos. It was not Cotton Mather, but John Greenleaf Whittier, who cried: "Door God and Father of us all, Forgive our faith in cruel lies, Forglvo tho bllndncw that denies. "Cast -down our Idols—overturn Our bloody altars—make us see Thysolf !r. Tby humanity.” , COL. FELLOWS EXONERATED. Governor Flower Dismissed the Charges Brought Against Him. Albany, N.

Suffering_Sisters Salt Rheum Causes Much Suffering Hood's Sarsaparilla Purlflea the Blood, Wins Another Victory. " C. I. Hood A Co., Lowell, Mass, t “Gentlemen:—Hood’s Sarsaparilla has done so much for my children that It is with pleasure and thanks that I write for publication a few lines, i cannot find words strong enough to express our confi dence and gratitude for Hood's Sarsapa rilla. Both of my little girls have been troubled with salt rheum. When quite small, blotches formed all over their bodies and on their limbs. The flesh broke out and the Uttle ones Suffered Great Agony on account of the Itching sensation. I had read of the good Hood's Sarsaparilla had done in cases of salt rheum, so I decided to give It atrial. Myrtle, 5 years old, had several eruptions on her forehead, while Bernice, 6 years old, suffered much from sores back of her ears. After the flrst bot tle had been taken they began to Improve; they seemed brighter and th* humor Began to Disappear. They have taken five bottles and Myrtle Is entirely enred. .Her flesh la smooth and soft, her health is better and she is bright and sprightly as any child of five years of age. From the start, Bernice has Im proved and th* humor Is nearly all gone HOOD’S Sarsaparilla CURES tad she ts In better health than before, I cannot praise Hood’s Sarsaparilla too highly." Mas. W.
