Confederate Memories

Will it ever become burdensome and
annoying to the people of the South to
read or hear of the Southern Confedera-
cy-its glories, its triumphs, its defeats :?
Is it SO now? Has not the Lost Cause al
ready began to fade away from our memo
ries, and any recital connected with it be-
come wearisome to US ? We hope not.
For the Confederate cause was not q mere
struggle for political independence. 1t
was the embodiment Of grand principles
principles older than the American Constl-
tution-principle older than the Amerl-
can Government-princip that have
come down to us from the earliest ages,
which nor time, nor tyranny, nor war can
ever efTace. They may be trampled down;
but only TO rise again purer and more
beautiful than before. If we forget the
Lost Cause, we forget the principles OF
which it was the offspring. Ii we grow
weary of the Lost Cause, we grow weary
of ali that was good, and great, and noble
in American history. Its memories we
need not be ashamed Of-lts glor1es we
NAV we'll be proud Of For its living he
roes we should cherish the highest respect;
for its dead defenders the most solemn
reverence. No victOr's crown shall wreathe
the brows of the former-no maueoleums
of triumph shall be erected over the re-
mains of the latter; but in the hearts Of a
grateful and an unforgetfnl people monu-
ments of gratitude may be erected for all
time, which neither the storm OF time nor
the decay of ages can deface or destroy.
This let us do. This let us always do.
Let no craven submission to policy-nc
corrupt desire for office, no cowardly fear
of tyranny, ever come between us and the
principles which were once so dear to us
which for all time to come should be dear
and sacred in our memories. .-DdnneT OJ

A Mystery Of the Past-strnnge Discovery

Century Ago Brought TO Light.

1t Is only u few days since the numer-
GUS officials of the City Hall were thrown
into fever of excitement by the discovery
of the skeleton OF a woman boxed up in a
narrow space in one of the dark cellars of
that building. The workmen who had
been engaged i'll clearing oat the accumu-
lated filth of quarter OF century
stood back aghast at the spectacle which
met their gaze. vividly recalling tue butch
cries OF Colt, Probst, Traupmann and com

Then I will have six votes. Now, these
od-for-nothing women who have fooled
their time away, and never raised single
bOy, come around and want every woman
| to vote for herself. I don't believe in
such nonsense have raised my SIX boys,
and I'm going to have every one vote for
me. Those women who go lecturing
around the country instead of raising boys
| have no business to vote any way. And
when they say that they are just as good
as am, and have a right to vote them
| selves, if they have no boys to do SO fo1
them, it is not true. If they are as smart
as I am, why did they not raise some boys
to vote for them l tell you, do not iu-
tend to be cheated out of my six boys by
any such good -for-nothing folks. guess
that the world would come to a pretty

From the Yankton (Dakota) Dakotian, May %.
Western CrtminRIfty and Western Ven
geance-A Wife Ssducer Shot Until the
Infuriated Husband Says He .swon't
Shoot any more,n
On last Saturday Charles dustavisou,
who has been working for David Nelson,
well-to-do farmer on the opposite side Of
the river, IN Nebraska, came over to Yank-
ton. David Nelson is married man, and
has wife like other men. The wife.
being of the weaker sex, was susceptible
of being led out of the path OF virtue,
which was accomplished by Gustavison,
who has been concerned in the unlawful
business for over two years. After Gusta-
vison left for Yankton Nelson got @ full
confession from his wife in relation to the
part she had been playing for overi2 years.
Nelson did not storm or rage or shoot the
woman, but quietly left for Yankton. -
He found the destroyer of his happiness.
yet said nothing about the fearful revela-
ton. They both transacted business in
town. Towards the evening Nelson loaded
his pistol and they 10th returned across
the river, and proceeded through the tim
ber towards Nelson's house. Gustavison
did not suspect what Il tornado was com
ing until he was shot by Nelson. The first
ball entered back of the ear and came out
under the jaw. Gustavison turned round
and asked Nelson what he was doing,
whereupon Nelson and he got into rough
and tumble. Nelson got his enemy down
and shot him again. This ball entered
near the centre of the skull, and passed
through the head, coming out under the
chin. Gustavison after this got up and
ran of, firing another shot as he fled away,
which missed. Nelson then remarked that,
d" | won't shoot him any moro" The
wounded man was cared for by DIR. Van
VelsOr, and the chances are that he will re-
cover. Tho wife of Nelson had two chill
dren during the period of her criminal in
tercOurse with GustavisOn.

| chimney at the old frame house No. 265
Riving street.
Mr.. Brlssel was tearing down the house
| IN question preparatory to buildings new
one, when the skull of the skeleton, grim
and ghastly, was suddenly revealed by the
| falling away OF some plaster. The whole
wall was removed as quickly as the fears of
| the trembling laborers would permit. and
| III short time the full skeleton was taken
out OF place III which it must have re-
posed for almost half a century.
The police, on being notified of the case,
hunted up colOred woman named Debo-
rah Groomcr, who had been a resident of
the room in one of the walls of which the
skeleton was found for upward of twenty
i've years. She professed entire ignorance
of its existence, and showed, by her fright
ened appearance, to be more surprised
than the laborers. She had often heard
strange noises at night about the room,
but had always attributed them to rats and
mice.
No fragments of clothing were discoy-
cred around the skeleton, nor could any
thing be found to indicate that body had
been put In there with the clothing on.
All the circumstances point at the affair
as murder. No medical student would
go to the trouble of hiding skeleton in
| q place where its removal would involve
almost the tumbling down of the house.
Rivington street was once the abode of
| a gang OF cut-throats, who used to operate
| extensively along the East river, and this
fact may to some extent account for the
presence of the skeleton.
