MR.. GLADSTONE ON TENNYSON.

to the poet Tennyson is very fine.
Mr.. Tennyson had accompanied the
Premier and party in a tour round
Scotland, and on reaching Kirk
wall, they consented to. receive the

place, on the very skirts of eiviliza-

NhhuNlAo DhnntIt ilus
Rev. John Berry McFerrin, DID, was
born in Rutherford county, Tennessee,
June 10Th, 1907. His father Colonel
James McFerrin, was native OF Vir-
ginia, and removed to Tennessee in 1904.
John B. McFerrin's mother was the
daughter Of John Berry, Presbyterian
Elder, who died In Virginia about an hum
dred years ago. John b. McFerrin was
the eldest son Of his parents. Nashville
was mere village when he was born. His
early advantages were limited. The cabin
in which he was born was surrounded by
a cane-brake and an almost unbroken
forest. AT the age Of eighteen he entered
the ministry and was admitted to the
Tennessee conference Of the Methodist
Episcopal church, in 1925 He has
filed great many positions in the
church. Ho edited the Nashville
Christian Advocate for number
Of years. He has held the position Of
book agent Of the Southern Methodist
Publishing House for years. By his eff
forts mainly that concern was relieved Of
a heavy debt. He has travelled circuits,
filed city stations in the church and been
a presiding elder, lie spent nearly three
years IN the Confederate army as ms
sionary from his church. He has writer
much for the periodicals of the church
He has been member Of every Genera
Conference Of his church since 1886. Thu
honorary degree of two literary institu
tons was conferred upon him. He hi
resided in Nashvilles since 1881. He ha
been married twice, first 10 Miss Probart
a native Of Nashville and afterwards 4
Miss McGavock, Of Davidson county. Ii

limited, In his prime he seemed almoi
incapable Of fatigue, and did an amour
Of work under which most men wou
have broken down.

Royalty ON Rarb Pence Wire,

CHICAGO, November s.-The represen-

Of barb fence wire are in session here Ia
determine what royalty they viii pay the
Washburne & Moen Company, which
practically controls all the barb wire pat

royalty of 70 cents per cwt, but the claim
is urged that the Washburn & Moen
Company have been granting better
terms to certain Of the licenses, owing &c
which fact they are all sbsolved from
paying any royalty. 1t was finally de-
termined, however, to offer the Wash,

We published special Tuesday from
the Courier-Journal stating that DR.. ]. b.
McFerrin, DID, Of Nashville, was dead,
but thought it singular that the Nashville
papers made no mention Of such an i'm
portant event. The papers Of yesterday
mention his critical illness, but not his
death, The obituaries published seem 10
have been premature. The goodold man
passed his 10th birthday and entered his
nth year on the 10th Of last June, and
even If alive it is hardly possible that he
will rally. His whole life has been de-
voted to good works, and he has been a
tower of strength to his denomination and
in the Christian world. In laying down
his armor it will be but to tenter upon the
rest and joy reserved for the righteous.

aherIdan,s LnsI Drink

A story is told of the battle Of Stone
river, which illustrates the deyil-may-
care braYery'of Sheridan He and Gen
eral Wood each commanded column.
and each strove 10 see if'he could reach
the summit of the mountain before the
other. Sheridan rode in front Of his
ranks urder the fire Of shot and shell, en-
couraging his men, and swearing at the
enemy like a hend incarnate, bearing a
charmed life. Twenty rebel batteries
were turned on his troops, but he scorned
the danger. At one time he took can
teen Of whisky from his aid, and, filling a
cup, he raised 1t in the air and yelled, as
he held il out towards Braggs headquar-
tiers, How are you, Mr. Bragg1p
Just then, as he was moving il TO his
lips, rifle ball struck il, and took whisky
and all away,
That's damned ungenerous," he said,
and, unmoved, rushed on to battle. His
horse was killed, He jumped from the
dying steed, and led the rest Of the charge
on foot. He was the first man at the top
Of the mountain, and he jumped onto one
OF the guns which his soldiers had cap
tured, and shouted for Joy and swore at
the enemy in turn Cleveland Leader s
Washington Letter.
The above is good war history, and
should be passed around so that IL will not
be lost. There is more of the same kind
in circulation; some of it In book form,
This incident is as thrilling as it is correct
There are only one or two little altera-
tions to be made to render the description
a perfect GEM and these only for the
sake of absolute accuracy. With the ex-
ception that all the guns captured at the
battle of Stone river were taken by tho
Confederates, and that Bragg was in the
saddle and had no particular headquar-
tiers, and that there is no mountain
in the case, it being a smooth and
almost level country and also but for the
insignificant fact that Sheridan was moi
within seven hundred miles of the battle
and never encountered any part o.
Bragg's command during the war, the
incident is singularly lucid and free from
the minor errors and microscopic flaw
that sometimes, say once in Thousand
times, are detected by the close students
of war literature. We would not pluck
plume or even canteen from any here
on either side, but the diamond pur,
authenticity of history must and shall b,
preserved at any y cost. Al
