TRADE ocEssIoN.-During the sitting
of the Louisville Commercial Convention,
there was an immense trade procession, of
which the following account is given by
the special correspondent OF the Augusta
Chronicle and Sentinel:
In the procession were represented man.
ufactures, commerce, science and art
Hundreds of the largest manufacturing
and business establishments in the city
were represented in it by their workmen,
and specimens of their wrok, and the re-
suit was spectacle in the highest degree
novel and pleasing. The procession was
mammoth affair, and do not think |
exaggerate in the least, when state that
it was fully, if not more, than five miles
in length Most of the specimens OF
work in the procession were gotten up in
most beautiful and tasteful manner, and
produced very striking effect. During
tho morning the sidewalks of the city
were thronged with surging MASSES OF hu'
manitv that rendered locomoton almost
impossible, and from every loophole anG
window of the houses flags Auttered in
the breeze, which, by the way, was most
confoundedly chilly. And, now, Since
they are mentioned, l wish to say few
more words on the subject of flags. OF
all tho loyal cities in which | have had
the misfortune to be, Louisville is decided
ly entitled to the palm over them all, that
is if flags and loyalty are synonyms. 1t
seems to mo that cvery store and house
in the city is furnished with one or more
OF these denominations, ranging in size from
pocket handkerchief to q horse blanket.
The stage IN the Opera House, whero the
Convention hold its sessions, is canopled
with one, and on every pillar, post, chan,
dcicr. crack or crevice is stuck another
In the reading room of the Gait House (the
headquarters OF the Georgia dclogation)
little American flags have been placed
by Bullock in such profnsion that one
almost imagines himself at the headquar,
ters of the General Of the Armies instead
of the room where II crowd OF rebellious
Ku Klux from State arc wont TO assem-
bio. The flags, by tho way, were procur
ed ed by tho Governor from General Halleck
who commands this department., and were
probably obtained for the purpose OF in
fusing loyalty by their presence. am
free to confess that there are many OF VI

VOLUME 5.---NO. 1S.
Foolishness of 1ntemnAtanee;

The habit of drinking is, to our mind,
the most inexcusable piece of destructive
nonsense in the world. And no where is
it more prevalent than in cities The
money poured down the throats Of men
each year is greater than is expended for
improvements. Whisky shops, saloons,
and all sorts of irrational devices and
places to fool away money, are found by
the hundreds and thousands in cities. If
man is tired, be drinks; if at work he
drinks. If doing nothing he must have
nip every hour If TOO warm he must
have julip; if too cold hot whisky. If
he is by himself, out comes flask or bot
tie; if in company, he stands treat till
his money Is all gone then, like "dead
beat" he sits around till some one asks
him up.
A man Of moderate salary steps into a
saloon, invites half dozen friends to
drink, pays half dollar or more, and
walks out. Three or four times day he
repeats this and always drinks when ask
ed. 1t is Social Men mean nothing by
It. But during the week half a mans
salary is poured down his throat, destroy
ing his stomach and weakening his
nerves, over-eXciting his brain, and rob-
bing himself and family of money needed
for other purposes. But it is social.
Drink in the morning, at noon, at night,
then few between drinks The brain
whirls-the hand grows unsteady-the
pocket grows empty-the home ones suf-
ter-the eyes look red and tremulous, as
| if ashamed-ambition is drowned in poi
son. Pretty soon, poor fellow, he is un;
fit for business-he makes mistakes. He
is sick, unable to work. He is not to be
relied on. He leaves his place and in
time finds Il poorer one. Then he feels
b!ue-drinks still more, his family suffers,
he leaves his place again, and at last dies
wreck. But it is social.
We believe man has no right to kill
himself suddenly or by slow poison. 1t
may be none Of our business IN the alb
stract, yet we are sorry to see men fool
ing themselves away, dying like weeds in
a gutter when they might be men, up
right, healthy, loved and useful, of benefit
to themselves and others. And this is
why we write against intemperance:
Health is too precious te be wasted
Manhood is too noble to be thrown into
the gutter. Lite is too sweet to be drugg-
ed with poisons now compounded and
sold as liquors. To drink poison may be
social but it costs too much for US, or any
man who loves himself or others. Who
of our readers dare think of this matter
and act us their better judgment shall die
tate.

BEAUTIFUL THouoHr-Forty years once
seemed long and weary pilgrimage to
tread. 1t now seems but q step And
vet along the way are broken shrines
where thousand hopes have wasted in
to ashes; footprints sacred under their
drifting dust; green mounds where grass
is fresh with watering of tears; shadows
even which we could not forget. We
will garner the sunshine Of those years,
and with chastcned step and heavenward
hone, push on toward the evening whose
signal lights will soon DO seen swinging
whore the waters are still and the storms

GENERAL LEE-The following is the
conclusion of an address on "Integrity of
Character" delivered at the Commence:
ment of the Kentucky Military Institute,
June 4th, 1868, by Rev. R. A. Holland ::
81 rejoice, young gentlemen, that can
find an embodiment OF this sublime integ-
rily of character in hero-not OF tho
Past, but Of the Present-not of some
distant realm, but of your own suffering
section--not of foreign birta, but of blood
brother to that which throbs thrills ofen-
thusiam through your veins at the men,
ton of his name. rejoice that we pos
sess model of manhood worth more to
our noblest attributes than all the for
tunes spent in the terrible war that re-
vealed his grandeur to our gaze.
whatever may have been the errors
of the South-errors for which, if they
existed, she has by dearest hecatombs suf-
iciently atoned-the world is indebted to
her for gift that shall enrich mankind
forever. That gift is the example of ii
man who, in civil conflict when hate ra-
res TO flesh it's blood.lhirsty fangs in hos
tile hearts, wins the admiration of his enc
mics, who charms envy into love and
awes malice into silence, who comes forth
from amid the smoke and carnage Of bati
tlo revealing brow unstained with dis
honor and hands unclotted with cruelty (;
who, although victor in hundred fights
against such odds of troops and treasures
as skill never vanquished before, suffers
no word of boasting to soil his pure fips
and notices his success only in modest as.

Hosts; who, marching forward in the
periIous path of duty, refuses moments
pause for daliance with the Fame which
others must follow, but which like ono
entranced tracks his steps and courts tho
the condcscension of his kingly glance
who, as he kneels under triumphs, rises
above reverses. and when the last blow
is struck and genius can no longer
cope with force, surrenders his sword with
the same equanimity with which he had
ever wiolded it, and receives it back from
the conouerer in mute testimonial that
none but himself is worthy to wear q

of purity and prowess, bright as the scime-
