“What is a woman’s weapon?”
I asked a charming girl-
She dropped her lashes shyly
And stroked a vagrant curl;
Then consciously she murmured—
This rosebud newly cut:
“I have a strong suspicion
Her weapon is a pont.”
“Wha* jg a woman’s weapon?”
I asked a lover true.
He turned him to a maiden
With eyes of heavenly bine.
Her velvet lips were parted,
All innocent of guile,
And eagerly he answered:
“Her weapon is a smile.”
“What is a woman’s weapon?”
I asked a poet then.
With sudden inspiration
He seized upon his pen.
“Oh, I could name a thousand,”
He cried, in accents clear;
“But woman’s surest weapon,
I grant you, is a tear!”

, ... will have good results. They will

But again, “DeSoto,” well do I
remember the momentary death
stroke to myself, as [ caught the
front feet of a battery horse, vault
ing over a bursting shell, on my
right arm, vainly endeavering to
save myself,, only to receive one
foot on my head, the other in my
chest, or the next moment caught
up by a kind comrade while falling
from my horse and laid in tbe
fence corner, as dead.
Yet onward rushed the battery,
under the murderous fire, , nearer
and nearer the Federal lines, as I
struggled in a few moments from
that death-like stupor, to full and
buoyant life, and to again join the
Battery in the old apple orchard,
then iri range of the enemy’s grape
and cannister, where the lincli pin
of the gun under my command, as
its sergeant, flew out, the wheel
ran off, and down came the cannon
upon the ground, to be raised by
trail handspikes and remounted
under this leaden and % iron hail.
No one of that gun detachment
could know who would be left to
tell the tale, or recount to his bat
tery companions after the battle,
tbe frying ordeal of raising a gun
and replacing a wheel under so
murderous a fire of cannister, at
short range-.
But, “DeSoto,’’ I’m here yet—I
mean still living— nud.now talking
to yon of its occurrence nearly 30
years thereafter,. and althongh I
know yon not, yet I know you well
—“an. old Confederate soldier,”
whom I hope God will bless and
let live toan ripe aid age.
But, the wheel is replaced and
tbe Confederate line now stands
perhaps 'within a hundred yards of
-the Federal line on the ridge. My
God! Do you remember it, DeSoto?
Gallant Floridians stood side by
side with Mississippians, Tennes
seans and Georgians, confronting I
the Federal lines, composed in a
great measure, in our immediate
front, of equally gallant Kentucki
ans and Western men. Here South
ern blood commingled together, or
the two lines stood only.a short
distance apart, ’till both lines, so
to speak, had melted away, pre
sentiug, each for itself, a long heap
of dead and weltering humanity,
nppalliug to behold, ns tlie Feder
ate were finally hurled back by
sheer force of Southern valor and
impetuosity which, in this tremb
ling moment, or under the critical
situation hanging by the slender
est thread, witlv blood pouring
from every pore, itself ready to be
cut in twain, seemed to rise above
all in desperation, with searcely a
parallel on few other fields. That
conflict, DeSoto, was fierce and to
the hilt, demonstrating Southern
valor, as on hundreds of other
fields, that will stand the test of ali
ages to come—and agaiq, of West
ern valor Aud manhood well wor
thy to be accepted and sung of as
American in the fullest sense of
the term. Americans were meet
ing Americans in deadly conflict,
for conscience sake.
We are- not enemies now, (I
mean the old soldiers) and can af
ford to do each other correct jus
tice.
Well do I remember, I must re
peat, the gallant Floridians who
“stood side by side’, shoulder
shoulder, breast to -breast'
Etheridge dies, George Moore
sinks down with a bntlet through
the chest, John Holmes through
.the shoulder, Bill.Mitchell with
a sba tered arm, while Jim Bar
rett, the’ guidon or flag bearer,
but now stands upon tbe dead
body of his noble horse, swearing
by all that’s good and just the col
ors of the battery shall uot be low
ered, except over his own dead
body, and so on to the end of the
sad chapter, with nearly all the
horses piled in a heap around the
guns.
Our gallant Joe has uot yet gone
down, but stands and holds the
helran of command, still shout
ing hoarsely to the few remaining
unharmed cannoneers as they ram
charge after charge of powder aud
canister down the hot aud smok
ing throats of tiie guns, and as the
Mississippians, Tennesseans and
Floridians cluster around the fast
dying battery, or as the Federal
lines reel, stagger aud fly before
the last death struggle of our shat
tered and bleeding whole. It was
victory; but DeSoto, it was also
death.
Cannon wheels riddled with niin-
nie halls, but stood for a moment
aghast and condolecRvith caissbus
smashed with skell^and grape.
The one comrade but looked
around, as the smoke and din of
battle passed away, to see his dead
companion here, and to hear the
agonizing cry of the other, wound
ed yonder.
The few still living battery
horses gazed at each other or
neighed with sympathy to its hob
bling, tottering team companion al
most ready to go down forever by
its side- -and the battle, DeSoto,
was over just as iiignt came on to
hide the faces of the dead, while
tendering its dews as a thirst offer
ing to the wounded, or just as the
beautiful moon rose up aud held
its pale, soft light for the living to
care as best they could for tbe
dying-^the Mississippians, Ten
nesseans, Floridians . and Geor-'
gians, all alike over their own gory
field, around and over their own
suffering, dead aud dying friends.
What soldier that fought at Perry-
v'.lle can ever forget the night ram
ble, wayworn and hungry, with
canteens of water, making every
effort to alleviate the sufferings of
friend aud foe alike, who contiu-
uaUy plead for just one drop of
water to quench their burning
thirst, or one word of sympathy
aud recognition to lighten the
crushing loneliness and despair
holding over them—some iufantry-
men, some artillerymen, and some
cavalryme.n. Who can ever forget
all this thattexperienced and saw
it as did-tlfe y.dt liytnjg?.- • :

is nott^ about begun in earnest.
That there exists a wide difference
between the two houses in their
views on some of the most impor-.
taut appropriation bills will be
ye?y shortly developed. The House
itself'has just had quite a prolong
ed struggle over the consular «nd
diplomatic bill, which has finally
passed substantially as it came
from the committee. This is one
of the bills whicii, in. the opinion
or tbej^xtreirie economists,-involves
-a gadarmal of extravagance, aud
Mr. Holman’s committee made
cansklerable redactions all along
tqe line. Salaries of ministers and
consuls were cut dowD, and ex
penses of all sorts reduced. This
action met with strong opposition
from the- republicans, reinforced
by quite a number of democrats
who do not wholly agree with the
policy of Mr. Holman and his fol
lowers.’ An especially vigorous
fight was made against the reduc
tions applying to the service in
Central and South American coun
tries, where we are entering the.
field as competitors for trade, but
the economists won by a decisive
majority. The expectation is that
the Senate will restore the items
to their standing in the present
law. Than will come the nsual
conference committees, and it re
mains to be seen which house will
back down.
During jbe recent embarrass
ment. of the House owing to the
large number of absentees, the re
publicans members made au effort
to bring the majority around to an
adoption of the Reed method of
counting a quorum. They refrain
ed from voting when there was
uot a quorum of democrats present
in the hope that Speaker Crisp
would finally come to au indorse
ment of the Reed rule. But the
plan did uot work. Congress has
certainly made very slow progress
for two weeks past, but the races
are not’ attracting so many mem
bers now, owing to the publicity
given to the matter,and the Speak
er hopes to keep a quorum con
stantly in attendance hereafter.
The local conventions in the va
rious states are rapidly transpir
ing, and the members who are ab
sent looking after re-nomination,
are straggling along back to their
seats. Still there will be a great
many absentees on account of pol
itics until after .the National Con
ventions The talk of an early ad
journment, therefore, is all bosh,
unless there is a practical aban
donment of all attempt at legisla
tion beyond passing the appropri
ation bills. Five mouths have al
ready passed, and ouly two or
three of the bills have got through
the House. ' Hence, there is every
chance of the session. lasting until
September at least, and probably
longer.
Presidential probabilities con
stitute the great topic here, to the
exclusion of almost all other sub
jects, and there are elements in the
situation- in both parties which
keep the prophets guessing. On
the surface both Cleveland and
Harrison are on the top wave, but
there is au undercurrent. in both
cases wb.ieh is growing stronger ev
ery day. No political seer of ac
knowledged sagacity- would to-day
stake his reputation upon the nom
ination oE either. Within a few
days past Uncle Jerry Rusk, Sec
retary of Agriculture, has been on
a good many tongues,and in all the
combinations suggested by the op
ponents oE the President,Rusk fig
ures in first or second place. A
ticket of Reed and Rusk-, or Rusk
and Reed; has been much discuss
ed, but the latest suggestion and
the. oue which now promises to
make greater headway in the favor
of the combined opposition is Lin
coln and Rusk. There is some
apprehension amoDg the republi
can leaders that unless a special
effort is put forth to hold the far
mers, Wisconsin may be lost Ip
the party, aud the same possibility
exists in regard to Illinois in case
Palmer is nominated by the demo
crats. Taken all round, it is uni
versally conceded to be the most
mixed and uncertain political situ
ation that has existed in many
years.

harmony on - all parts of the system
and leaves no bad results. The

clearly the political issues of the
dajv and to determine intelligently
which party will best protect their
rights and promote their interests.
The republican party, has for
years been practically dead in this
state, but there is an organized ef
fort being made to draw the peo
ple away from the democratic par
ty. They "are invited to abandon
it, aud to give their allegiance to
a new political organization which
promises everything without the
slightest chance .-of. accomplishing
anything.
The platform of this new party
formulated at Missouri last Feb
ruary is presented to the people of
Georgia as the embodiment of true
and beneficial political principles.
It is strange that any citizen of
this state can be found who is will
ing to accept such a platform.
It offers no relief for the worst
of the ills that afflict as, and it
proposes other evils which are as
bad as those we already endure.
The third party platform has no
condemnation of the outrages *>f
the M'cKinley tariff which is wrest
ing many millions of dollars every
year from the toiling masses to en
rich a few favored monopolies.
The lifting of this unjust bur
den of taxation would give the peo
ple the largest measure of finan
cial relief the government could
possibly confer. The democratic
party proposes to make its main
attack in the coming campaign on
this robber tax.
The infamous force bill, which
threatens the libei ties of the peo-,
pie of the south and the renewal of
the bayonet rale of the reconstruc
tion period, aroused the indigna
tion of onr whole people, and was
resisted by the fair-minded people
of the north as well. And yet the
third party has no word of con
demnation for this attempted out
rage.
While it is silent on this subject
it favors a tax of two thonsand mil
lion dollars to pay veterans of the
federal army the difference be
tween the price of the greenbacks
which they received and gold.
This would cost the people of
the south hundreds of millions of
dollars and practically all the mon
ey they paid on this account wpuld
be taken from them to be distrib
uted iu the north. *
The platform also advocates the
conversion of railroad, telegraph
aud telephone companies into gi
gantic political machines, which
would inevitably become a source
of corruption. The platform con
tains hardly a defensible clause,
and most of it is absolutely and
•completely bad.' •
We do not wonder, therefore,
that wherever discussion has oc
curred between the representatives
of true democracy and those of the
third party, the result has been to
stay the mtfvemeut to yard this
new departure.
True and devoted democrats in
every part of Georgia are combat
ting the dangerous tendencies of
third partyism, and the excellent
results of their work are being felt.
Wherever there is fair discus
sion the people of Georgia . will
sustain tlie principles of democra
cy as against those of the third
party.
Already the drift of the farmers
toward the new party has been
checked, and in the coming cam
paign the great mass of them wiH
be found under the democratic
standard.

A Lesson That the Tramp Teaches.
There are certain things that we
may learn from the trainp, and one
in particular that would be valua
ble to ns all. The Americans are,
I presume, the most impatient of-
any race of people. But the Amer
ican tramp is a second Job. If he
does not succeed in stealing a ride
on the train on which he has fond
ly calculated for two days, he does
the most philosophical thing there
is for him to do—that is, he waits
a day or more. If he does not get
any thing to eat to-day, he hopes
for better luck to-morrow. If the
impatient,conductor, of his partic
ular train orders him off, he occa
sionally gets a little provoked, but
mucb more commonly he says
something to the effect that “he
guesses he can if he has to,” and
acts accordingly. In all of these
things and a thousand others he
shows a development of patience
aud fortitude wo all might do well
to emulate.—Dr. J. N. Hall, iu
Harper’s Weekly.

of that rank, after which he re

The next higher grade is sur
geon with a salary ranging from a
minimum of 82,800 at sea to 84,-

shore, on leave, or waiting orders

The best thing to clean dandruff
from the hair is kerosene. Of
course, of it is used, it ought to be

made what little I own on that dis

ning a little shop in one of the in
terior towns. By mistake I put
some on a man’s hair one day, and
he came back to tell me that it
worked like a charm. He did not
know what it was, and I did not tell
him. He said he wanted some
more of it, and I gave it to him
Then I bought several gallons of
it, scented it, pat it in bottles, gave
it some high sounding name, and
people bought by the dozen bot
tles. The demand was so great
I was afarid the grocer in the town
would gel on to me, and I sent to
Chicago aud bought a barrel of it-
I sold every drop of it for the hair.
I got my start iu that way, and that
