Six years ago last Friday Gener-
al r. E. Lee died. No one who was
in Lexington at the time can ever
forget the effect of the rather unex-
pected event upon the people of
that little valley town. One who
was present at the last moment ran
to the Episcopal church, q few pa
ces distant, and began tolling the
knell of the great life that had just
gone out. Wherever the solemn
sound was borne-over the village
and out into the fields-every soul
was prophetic of the great sorrow
that was come. The merchant
ceased his barter; books dropped
from a thousand electrified stu
dents hands, college tutors, who
professed a practical faith in the
philosophy of the stoics, wept as
children; and even the stolid negro
field hands forsook the plow and
rushed into the town with anx-
ious look to learn the worst, Had
it been the last tIump that sounded
it could not have brought the bust
ness affairs of that community to a
more sudden and complete stand
still. 1t was Wednesday,, and on
the following Saturday the remains
were borne to their last resting
place in a vault in the basement of
the memorial chapel. During those
four days the writer did not see a
smile on any face among the thous
ands congregated there. Yet they
were but n few-th.s world was in
mourning. The several nights pre-
ceding the death of General Lee were
remarkable for the unusual brillian-

Shot across the trem bling sky
Fearful light that never glimmers,

He NEVER TOLD A LIE.

l saw him standing in the crowd
A comely youth and iairl
There was q brightness in his eye,
A glory in his hairl
| saw his comrades gaze on him
His comrades standing by;
heard them whisper each to each:
!, "He never told liel"
looke,lin wonder on that boy,
As he stood there so young;
To think that never an untruth
Was uttered by his tongue.
l thoughs of all the boys I'd known
Myself among the fry
And knew of none that one could say,
''Be never told lieg'
l gazed upon that youth with awe
That did enchain me lcng;
/ had not seen boy before
So perfect and so strong.
And with q something CT regret
wish that he was
So they might LOOK at me and say:
''He never told liel'
l thought of questions very hard
For boys to answer right:
CHOW did you tear those pantaloonst
"My sonl what caused the fghtm
"Who eft the gate ajar last nightf'
"Who bit the pumpkin piel''
What boy could answer all of these,
And never tell liel
proudly took him by the hand
Ny words with praise were rife;
blessed that boy who never told
A falsehood in his life;
told him was proud of him
A fellow standing by
Informed me that that boy was dumb
Who never told liei

The Woman who Got Tweed's Money
Celia Logan in the Baltimore News.

Celia Logan in the Baltimore News.
1 had little business to transact
a few days ago with certain dealer
in real estate. While sitting in his
office there entered a lady, tall,
straight, well built, and graceful.
Not young, although art had been
made to do its share to make her
appear so. She was dressed all in
black, the silk being covered with
real Spanish illusion-a very beau
tiful, costly, and perishable mate
rial, seldom worn in this or any
other country, on account of its ex-
pensiveness. She was loaded with
iewelry--the diamonds in her ears
were almost as large as walnuts,
and could not have cost less than
$4,000. Even the handle of her
parasol must have cost large sum.
Her carriage and pair outside were
enough to make ones mouth water,
so splendid were they. This lady
talked in loud. shrill voice, with a
ring of command in it, as that of a
person possessing power and con-
scious of it. And no wonder she
looks grandly, and talks as if accus-
toned to carry matters with a high
hand, for this is Mrs. Macmillan,
the lady to whom Tweed, in those
days when he was flush and liberal
is said to have presented a mansion
on Fifth avenue worth 100000
And as further proof of his conf
dence in her discretion and business
ability, he is reported to have de
posted for safe keeping, until he
abandons his retirement, the snug
sum in bonds, etc, of $l2,000,00C
or $14,000,000, leaving himself, as
he truly states, with only a few
paltry hundreds of thousands.

There are those who entertain the
senseless idea that the Southern
people must nurse their wrath to
keep it warm, and revive as often as
they can every memory of the late
bloody war to fire up resentments
and keep alive every bitter rancor.
They imagine that they are build
ing up the party and giving it
strength, and this is their plan of
proving their Democratic ardor.
And such people become critics of
the Examiner and are great fault
finders with its patriotism. We
will not argue the question with
them. We believe that we are
wiser and better Democrats than
they. We prefer to follow in the
lead of such Southern men as Ste
phens, Lamar, Hampton, Forrest,
John c. Brown, Hill, Joseph E.
Johnston, Lee, Beauregard and the
real great leaders of the South.
They, by their wise and pacific poll
cy are restoring the Union TO It's
old harmony and power, and tho
democratic party TO its ancient
grandeur and power, and so far as
we are able, we intend to co operate
with them in their noble purposes

The season of Intermittents.

All miasmatic complaints, in other
words, all disorders generated by un-
wholesome exhalations from the earth
or water, are prevalent at this season.
In every section subject to the visitation
of fever and ague, or other forms OF in
termittent disease, the causes which
produce these maladies are now actively
at work. This, therefore, Is period OF
the year when the Inhabitants of such
districts should prepare their systems to
meet the unwholesome condition OF the
atmosphere by a course of tonic and
Alternative treatment. Foremost among
the invigorants, recommended oy time
and exnsrience as a means of fortifying
the system against all endemic and
endemic maladies, stands Hostetter's
stomach Bitters. BY timely use oil
the Bitters, the feeblest resident OF an
unhealthy soil may escape the sickness
which. without the aid of this potent ally
OF nature, will be apt to overtake the
strongest. oe147t

Printing Office Secrets.

A properly conducted printing of
fee is as much a secret as Mason
ic Lodge. The printers are not un
der oath of secrecy, but always
feel themselves as truly in honor
bound to keep office secrets as
though triple oathed. Any EN-
ploye in a printing office who will
ingly disregards this rule in regard
to printing Office secrets would not
only be scorned by his brethren of
the craft, but would lose his posi-
tion at once We make this state
ment because it sometimes happens
that a communication appears in a
newspaper under an assumed sigma
ture which eXcites coment, and va
rious parties try to find out who is
the author. Let all be saved the
trouble of questioning the employe
of the printing Office. They are
know -nothings on such points as
these. On such matters they have
eyes and ears, but no mouth, and if
they failto observe this rule, let them
be put down as dishonorable mem
bers of the craft. It is the same in
job printing. If anything is to be
printed aad kept secret, let proper
notice be given Of the desire for Sc
crecy, and you might as well ques
tion the Sphynx az one of the print
ers, so that even the secret books
for lodges are printed without fear
