Formation of a Splendid Organisa tion of Confederate Veterans. Governor John B. Gordon made the following address to the association as its general, on the occasion of his aocepting the command. Our read ers will find that this address itfon the line of the principles and views set forth by us in several recent ar ticles, which appeared from time to time in the Union-Recorder. We bad no idea of the formation cf such n splendid organization as that of the Association of confederate veterans which lias been formed, and of Gov- erqor Gordon who lias been made the General. No nobler champion could have been found to lead the confeder ate veterans and all their friends in the path of duty, not only as south erners, but as citizens of the United States, devoted to the true principles of our confederation as adopted hy our ancestors to perpetuate the prin ciples of liberty for themselves and their children and their deseendents through all the ages to dohie. The heart of the noble “Hero and patri ot, ’ Gen. John B. Gordon, beats re sponsive to every effort of patriotism, to do justfee to the confederate vete rans, to give them, if possible, a hap py and unclouded rest for the bal ance of their glorious lives, and In do ing this, to sustain the states in their just rights and the union of all the States, in a divine and ineffable state of peace and glorious liberty, such as our forefathers devised and intended for them in all the years to come.* The following is Governor Gordon’s manly and noble oddifess on the oc casion of accepting the position of commander of the. united organiza tion of the veterans ex-soldiers anil sailors of the late Confederate States of America. All power of speech fails to do justice to the great commander. , _ _ He whs great in war, he will lie equal- i It is a brotherhood am! dentists.

The farm ers say the Alliance ha9 no politics, and the manner of Col. Livingston’s announcement on the heel of his elec tion as president puts that organiza tion in an embarrassing position. Will Livingston resign or renounce his candidacy? If the avowed- candidates for Gov ernor, Col. Livingston and Mr. North- eu keep up their canvass until next July or August with the same activi ty and zeal that they have begun it, there wont be an old shoe in either man’s house that will not be over turned to hunt for some domestic or political mishap to bo taken advan tage of by tlie friends of one or both. At Sylvania Ga., recently, Frank McCrimmon found a turkey nest on which an olql gobbler was sitting. On examination he found that the nest was filled, not with eggs, but witli apples. Mr. McCrimmon has has found it a difficult matter to un deceive the gobbler. He must have been an old bache lor or widower gobbler. They are jnst .about as big fools about marrying young girls as that gobbler was about hatohing chickens out of apples.

Gordon's address I to the United Veterans’ Confederate ‘Association on the occasion of his ac cepting the command: HEADQUARTERS ) United Oonkkdkratk Veterans, > Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 3. 1889) To the ex-Soldiers and Sailors of the Late Confederate States of Ameri ca: The convention of delngates from the different states, which asssembled in New Orleans on the tenth of June, in defeat, iB to idealize principle and strength of .cliaraeier, intensify love of country and convert defeat and disaster into, pillars of support for future manhood and noble woman hood. Whether the Southern people under their changed conditions may ever hope to witness another civiliza tion which shall equal that which began, with their Washington anil ended with their Jjee, it is certainly true that devotion to their glorious past iB not only the surest guarantee qf future progress and the holiest bond of unity, but is also the strongest claim they can present to the confi dence and respect of other sections of tlie Union. In conclusion I beg to repeat, in substance at least, a few thoughts recently expressed by me to a state organization which apply with equal force to this general broth erhood. It is political in no sense ex cept so far as the word "political” is a synonym for the word "patriotic.” It is a brotherhood over which tlie genius of philanthropy aud patrotism of truth and of justice will preside—of phiiantlirophy, because it will succor the disabled, help tlie needy, strength en the weak, and the disconsolate; of patriotism because it will cherish tlie pass glories of the dead Confederacy and transmute tlieid'into inspirations for future service to a living repub lic; of truth, because it will seek to gather and preserve as witness for history unimpeachable facts which shall doom falsehood to die that truth may live; of justice, because it wifi cultivate national as well as Southern fraternity and wifi dondeinn narrow mindedness and prejudice and pas sion and cultivate that broader, high er, nobler sentiment which would write on tlie grave of every soldier who fell on either side: Hero lies a hero—a martyr to right as his con science conceived it. 1 rejoice, that a general organization, too long neg lected, has been at last perfected. which all -lion- and men must approve and which heaven itSelf will biess." I call ’upon you therefore, to orga nize every state aqd community where ex-Confederates may reside and to rally to the supjfport of the high and peaceful object* of “The United Confederate VeterausUtand mpve for ward until by tlie pq»*r of drganiza tion and persistent Sort your bene- ficient and cliristiaff purposes are fully accomplished.

The convention adopted a con stitution, and did me the great honor to elect me “general,” which position I accept with peculiar gratification. Preliminary to the issue of any or ders, I wish to call general attention to the objects of this association and to enlist in tber accomplishment the active co-opeiation not only of every survivor of the Southern armies, but also that of a large contingent, the sous of veterans who, too young to have received a baptism of fire, have nevertheles received with you a bap tism of suffering aud of sacrifice. The rst article of the constitution of the association declares: Tlie objects anil purpose of this organization will be strictly social, literary, historical aud benevolent. It will endeavor to unite a general federation of ail the associations of Confederate veterans i soldiers and sailors now in existence or hearafter to lie formed; to gather authentic data for an impartial his tory of tiie war between the states; to preserve relics or mementoes.of the same; to cherish the ties of friend ship that should exist among the men have shared common sufferings anil privations; to care for the disabled and extend a helping hand to the needy; to protect widows and or phans and to make aud preserve a record of the services of every mem- and as far as possible, of those of our comrades who have preceded us in eternity.” “Tlie last article pro vides that neitiier ^'discussion of politi cal or religious subjects nor any political action shall be permitted in the organization, and any association violating that, provision will forfeit its membership.” Comrades, no argument is needed to secure for these object's your en thusiastic endorsement. They have burdened your thougiits for many years. You have cherished them in sorrow, in poverty and humiliation. In the face of reconstruction you have ijeld them in your hearts with the strength of religious convictions. No misjudgments can defeat your peaceful purposes for tlie future. Your aspirations have been lifted by the mere force and urgency of sur rounding conditions to a plane far above tlie paltry considerations of partisan triumphs. Tho honor of tho American republic, the just powers of the Federal govern ment, equal right of states integrity of constitutional union sanctions of law and tlie enforcement of order have no class of defenders more true and devoted than tlie exsoldiers of tlie South and their worthy descend ants. But you realize the great truth that a people without memo ries of heroic deeds, heroic sufferings and sacrifices, is a people without history; that to cherish such memo ries and recall such a past, whether crowned with success or consecrated Balnbriilge Democrat!!^”'' ’' The little boys of a well knowp gen tlemen of this city devote considera ble attention to the raising of ducks, their father taking all they can raise at the usual market price when they are grown. Recently one of tlieboj’s aged about 15 approached his father and told him he wished to sell him a brach of fine well grown ducks at 35 cenfcs each— for future delivery. Tlie father being absorbed in some perplexing legal question—being a lawyer—closed tho contract anil paid over the price agreed—ftltiiougb it was ten cents each more than he hail but recently paid a younger brother for “spot - ’ ducks—or ducks delivered on the tlie payment of tlie money. But a few days elapsed before the younger brother made complaint to the father that lie had paid tlie larger brother ten cents more for ducks for future delivery than he had paid him for “spot” duoks—and that the older brother had no ducks yet hatched out but that they had yet to be hatoh- eil and raised before he could deliver them. The information set the fath er to thinking that his boy had been guilty of sharp practice upon him, and on meeting hiui next he asked what he meant by practicing such methods upon him. Tlie boy replied: “Well, father, I have an absolute guarantee that the ducks 1 sold you for future delivery will be all I rep resented—and I mean to deliver them in good faith in due time.” “Yes, but sir,” replied the father—“How was it you charged me [more for “future” ducks than your little brother has for “spot?” The son replied—“Well, sir, you know “futures” are often higher than “spots” in market quotations—aud the rule holds good in ducks as well as in cotton, grain or other produce” and the answer was so shrewd that the astute Judge and father had to acknowledge himself “cornered” and throw up the sponge.

From Our Regular Correspondent. Washington, D. O. Sept. 8, 1889. Editors TJnion-Rkcorbbr; “Fornker is to be knocked out,” said a prominent politican, “and some of tlie leading Ohio republicans wifi help tho democrats to do it.” “What do you mean General?” asked your correspondent. “Exactly what 1 said,” returned the General. After much persuasion, anil the prom ise that his name should not be used, tlie gentleman agreed to tell me his reasons for making the assertion. Ho said: “You are probably aware that tho Ohio crop of woulil-be- great-men has for some years been largely in excess of the demand, and consequently tlie Gtate is full of that class of men anil the most of them are republicans Forakor has been in the way of these fellows for some time and they recognize the fact that if he is again elected governor there will be no keeping him down; he will either demand to be sent to the Senate or supported for President. They have decided thqt the easiest way to get rid of him is to help the democrats defeat him, and to that end the wires are now being laid. Murat Halstead and Richard Smith of the Cincinanti Commercial Gazette are in the plot, as is also Sen ator Sherman. I do not assert that President Harrison is helping these men to down Foraker, but I know he is cognizant of their plans and lias made no objection there-to. Ho probably would shed few tears to For aker put in a position that, would make him an impossibility in the raoe t for tlie republican Presidential nomination In 1892.” President Green of tho Western Un ion Telegruph company has been in consultation with the Postmaster General, and it is understood that a compromise will be made as to tlie price of Government messages. At the department they refuse to talk on the subject. The Navy department has several very interestiuganil complicated ques tions, U> wqrry over just at this time. First, there is tho big battle ship “Tex s,”*»einr<built at the Norfolk Navy Yard, which many experts con tend will not float if completed by the present plans; and as If that was not enough, there are three new ves sels the “Petrel, Vesuvius and Char- leston-which altlioug completed have for various defects not yet been ac cepted by tho Government. The lot of the Secretary of the Navy is not a happy one. It is now thought here that the ar guments of Representative McKinley have persuaded President Harrison that no extra session of Congress should bo called. Tho National republican committee lias shipped all of the documents it lmil left over from the late Presiden tial election to the four new States for use in the coming campaign. Tho citizens of tlie new States have my sympathy. Congress will never appropriate money to buy ground in New York or Chicago for the great Exposition of 1892, when it owns right here in Washington the best site in the coun try, and it’s not five minutes walk from Pennsylvania avenue. It is to be a national and international affair and must be held at the Nation al capital. Tlie Post office department offers a reward of $1,000 for the arrest and conviction Qf any mail robber. The movement to make Reed the next Speaker of the House is regard ed by the most knowing republicans as just as good as accomplished. The other candidates will be given com plimentary votes, but the bosses have ordered that Reed be elected. Five members of the cabinet are now at their desks, but it is hardly probably that they will stick very close to business during this month. Secretary Windom, who probably has not forgotten how dearly he was made to pay for a fine residence in this city a few years ago, has rent ed a house for four years. The house that caused him' nil the trouble was several years ago, “Sunset” Cox is still in Washington delighting his friends, with stories of the wonderful things he saw in the North-west. According to Cox, and I cannot doubt anything he says, its the most wonderful country on earth. Representative Campbell, the de« cratic nominee for Governor off Ohio, is extremely popular bore, nmi good wishes are expressed on everjr hand for him. [communicated.], Why Men Are Drunkards. I do not propose to appeal to man’s fears or attempt to bribe bxao with a gift. The trouble with ons religious teachers are, they hold false lights to men atiil women to-gov ern them in their actions in life. Tfcw two of tho meanest motives in lifo w fear, or the hope of a gift in doiugc something. Life should be built up»a principles, sound reason and just judg uient. I propose in tin's article to give ti*r philosophy [of drunkedness, ami let those given to drink think upon tb* subject. Drunkenness is a disease tbaCi Is where men drink daily and to ex cess, and tlie system is diseased from drink. I will call upon my readiug explain why men drink to drunked- ness, and so illustrate it that all wbci read can understand. In the first place, alcohol has ov great affinity for the water in the ba»- uian system, and consumes it rapkt9jr„ and hence, the thirst that one feato- aii the time. To drink alcohol t» quench such a thirst, Is like putt wood od a lire to put it out, for tbe- more one drinks the greater the•• thirst. Secondly, alcohol is’ first an exes taut, then a stimulant, and tbeD .at narcotic according to the quantitjr taken. Different temperaments reqaire different quantities, if given tr? st- physician. When drank for an exesi taut or stimulant, nine times out of ten the drinker will take too mueb. Intemperance is first a habit, unldav tlie disease inherited through fjttbmr or mother, resolves itself into a nat ural taste and desire. Then wo harrw the dypsouianiac, who lias not ft h»t- it. but a disease inherited. But habit, it soon grows into a disease-, anil there is the danger. It is a dis ease of the nerve cells, or as a physi cian would express it, a disease of fbaj sensorial ganglia, distinct from tfa*' brain and spinal cord. If one drinks milk, or eats food, il will tako from two to four hours •»> pass through the digestive organs, ft* taken up in tlie blood, and passed" to the eellp, from which the brain Sm fed, while if one drinks alcohol, it willt go straight to the nerve cells in three minutes. This shows that aloohoi is not digested. It.Is not food. It ia j* poisonous fluid which goes over ttie sensitive nerves as electricity over tlie wire. Alcohol stlmulaXeTP artificially,- when the nerve c-eMb- should be ’ stimulated arteri«)5v through the blood. The philosophy is plain and reasonable. If the spirit part of ulcohoi'was till- gested like milk, soup or food, tlie krd ueys and liver would extr >ct from ii- its poisonous properties, like tlie in jurious salt from our food and wouDr never reach tlie brain. Alcohol is a fermented, distilleai stimulant, with poison in it, and wh&n one drinks liquor it goes straigidr. to tlie nerve ceils; thence to-theey* through the optic nerve; then to tar brain, and mating one want to light., to talk, to be sociable, etc. Then fo the spinal center limbering the bae .fe, then to tlie muscular system, and fi nally gets to the stomach, and vben one becomes norcotically drank,.he it then dead drunk. Food goes just tlie opposite wajr; food goes to tlie stomach first, tb«* into tlie blooil, then to the heart, arwf finally through the urteries to th.» brain. Tims one sees at. once, thanS alcohol acts witli poisonous effecil upon tlie nerve cells, and in a alios*; time a man is diseased all over and stS! through. He drinks because he ca» not help himself anil the more- Bw drinks tlie greater anil more aggra-vi*- teil tlie disease grows upon him, at*;? he can transmit it to his childr««k Drunkards in the inebriate asyliasx: can drink from one to two bottle* whiskey a day. Some have betw* known to drink two quarts in a day It only shows what the human syx tem can stand in the way of &bn>« and net produce instant death. What madness, what folly, what absurdity, for a young man to say to*- can drink and disease himself and qpft drinking whenever he pleases. Ptssic ignorant young man, you are a foal and do not know it, and therein ttss your danger. A habit soon becosiet- a disease, and the Booner you braafti off the habit the better. When on*- drinks and feels thirsty, let him po**3 pown water to supply that which tfae- alcohol has drunk up and thus right} his system, for the more one drinks at aloohoi greater the hold of the dis- ease. _____ R. M. a About Laughing. The man who can laugh from til* very heart is not apt to be a villain who murders while he smiles. Birir how few men, comparatively speak ing, laugh heartily! Some wear ax, everlasting barren simper; in tb* smile of others lies a cold glitter ice, the fewest are able to laugh, whast can be called laughing, but only snii* and titter and snigger from the threat outward, or at best produce soioi whiffling, husky cachinnation, as- i? they were laughing through wool Of none 6ucn comes good.--Er change.
