Confederate chIettdfns.

Nashville Banner.

Nearly all the great confederate
generals are in their graves. After
the battle they sleep peacefully. They
are beyond the reach of whistling
bullets. Many of them yielded up
their lives on the glory field of bat
tie in a fierce conflict with brothers
of common country. Others have
peacefully fallen asleep since the
close of the war. They and their
followers fought as no men ever
fought since the world began. They
won fame in war never equalled
in the history of the world, and by
deeds of bravery uneXcelled-un-
equalled-in any age. Among those
whose spirits have departed are
Gen. r. Z. Lee, who died in peace
full times at his home in Lexington,
Va, Gen. Il. j. J.(StonewalD Jackson
who died from wounds received at
the hands of those who would have
wi.lsngly died for him, and in an
hour when he had succeeded with
handful of men in routing the en-
tire federal army under Gen. Hook
er; Gen. j. r. b. Stewart-brave We,
chivalrous Stewart--WhO died in
Richmond from pistol wound re-
ceiYed at Yellow Tavern, where,
with /, 100 men, he whipped Phil.
Sheridan's 5000 troops and preven-
ted them from capturing Richmond
Gen. Turner Ashby, the right arm
of Stonewall Jackson, who died
while bravely leading his Virgin
ians in charge on one OF the battle
fields of Virginia; Gen. Sidney
Jhonston. who died on ShilOh's
bloody field after having routed and
driven Grants army into the Ten
neasee river; Gen. John III. Morgan
the gallant, daring Morgan, who
died from wounds received through
the treachery of a woman at Green
vile, Tenn; Gen Bedford Forrest,
the great and always successful cav
airy commander, who died at his
home near Memphis after the close
of the war; Gen. John b. Hood,
who also died after peace had been
restored to the country; Gen. BraX-
ton Bragg, who died in Galveston
after the war; Gen. John G. Breck-
enridge, who died in his beloved
Kentucky, after the clash of arms
had ceased; Gen. Ewell, who
died short time after peace had
settled over the country.
OF the great leaders yet living
there are Gen. Joseph Z. Johnston,
Gen. Jubal A, Early, Gen. G. Il.
Beauregard, Gen. William Malone,
Gen. James Longstreet, Gen. B. f.
Cheatham and Gen. e. Kirby

tennessee Mineral RIches.

The Evansville 0nd.) Journal, OF
a recent date, says "Prof. Henry +.
Cotton, late geolOgist and inspector
of ore banks and mines for the State
of Tennessee, was in our city yes
terday and was asked by our report
er some questions as TO the minerals
of Tennessee and the development
thereof. Probably no place has so
much interest in the development
of the mineral wealth of the South
as Evansville, because while large
amounts of the pig iron of that re-
gion now go through our city, when
the bridge is completed nearly the
whole will reach market through
the railroad lines from our city.
Prof. Cotton informs US that the
Nashville & Florence railroad, from
Columbia, on the Nashville d Deca-
tur road, from Lawrence county to
Florence, Ala, is completed to
within six miles of Lawrenceburg,
and that the narrow guage known
as the Nashville d. Tuscaloosa road +,
running now from Dickson, on the
North western road, to Centreville,
and on to the Lewis county line, is
to be made wideguage from Dick
son to Bon Aqua springs, and the
whole line will soon be changed.
The amount of iron ore that these
two railroads will reach is immense,
and the branch roads from them, es-
pecially from Nashville & Florence,
would reach enough ore to run any
furnace one hundred years. Prof.
Cotton says the iron business is
somewhat dull in Tennessee now,
as there are only four Of the seven
furnaces in blast, but the Cowan
furnace is being repaired and put
into tirst-cIass order and will soon
go into blast, while Citico, the new
Chattanooga furnace, and undoubt-
edly the best in the South, will soon
go into blast"

OSTRICH Farming.

Speaking of the experiment in os-
trich farming to be made in Flor
ida, all the papers fall into the error
Of saying il is the first experiment
ever tried in the United States.
This is not so. There Is very sue
cessful ostrich "ranch" in southern
California, which has bcen in op-
Grafton two years or more. The
ranch was stocked with twenty
birds, and these, as Is said Of fruit
trees, are now in "full bearing.'
This last year the owner sold 81 800
worth of plumes and has grown
eight young birds. The ostriches
thrive well in the climate. enjoy
good health, and have appetites that
test their owners tomato can, old
boots and spike-nail supply TO the
utmost. The appetite of the ostrich
IL Omnivorous and overwhelming
On the Fresno ostrich ranch one Of
the birds seemed affected with a
checking sensation in the throat.
1t wandered about the picture Of
distress. Remedies were applied
and finally after much difficulty, the
ostrich's throat was rid Of a brick
bat, long piece of kindlinR wood
and a two pound weight.

Yes, farewell farewell forever!
Thou, thyself, hast fixed ollr doom,
Bade hopes rairest blossom wither,
Meier again for me to bloom.
Unforgiving thou hast called me;
Didst thou ever say forgiven
For the wretch whose wiles beguiled the'
Thou alone didSt seem to live.
Short the space which time has given,
To complete thy loves decayi
By unhallOwed passion driven,
Soon thy heart was taught to stray.
Lived for me that feeling tender,
Which thy verse so well can show?
From my arms why didst thou wander?
My endearments why forego?
Oh too late thy breast was barred;
Oh too soon to me twas shown,
That thy love once but shared,
And already it is flown.
Wrapt in dreams of joy abiding,
On thy breast my head hath lain,
In thy love and truth confiding-
Bliss ne'er can know again.
That dark hour didst first discover
In thy soul the hideOuS stain,
Would these eyes had closed forever
Meier to weep thy crime again
But the impious wish, o Heaven!
From thy records blOtted be:
Yes would live, o Byroni
For the babe I've borne to thee.

Whilst struggling tears permit me,
All the features 1 can trace

He whose image still prize,
Who the bittereSt feeling gives me

With regret and sorrow rather,
When our child's first accents flow,
will teach her to say father,
But his guilt she ne'er shall know.
While tomorrow and tomorrow
Wakes me from widowed bed,
On another'S arm my sorrow
Wilt thou feel-no tear will shed.

And preferred a wanton's love.
Thou art proud; but mark me, Byron,
I've heart proud as thine own

When contempt is on it thrown.
But farewell! I'll not upbraid thee,
Never, never, wish thee ill;

The 1888 Crop OF Tobacco.


Little can be further said of the
1888 crop other than that it is now
about housed; only a few isolated
cases is there any Tobacco yet stand
ing in the field. The fact that frost
has held off until this late date
(excepting what happened in Sep
tember)has contributed largely to
increased faith in this crop, espe-
cially as to quality. II is true that
irreparable damage was effected
during the planting and growing
season that greatly curtailed the
quantity of early planted, but the
favorable weather for the past two
months or more has done wonders
in behalf of the late planted, which
constituted a greater part than u.s.
ual of the total crop, especially in
the Leaf growing States. Besides,
the curing season, up 10 the pres
ent, has been all that could be ask
ed, and the outlook is far more
cheerful to all concerned than it
was thought possible short time
ago. The crop will not he so small
as to embarrass and retard manu-
featuring, but still it will be no
more than ample to satisfy ordinary
trade demands, and good prices are
assured. If the requirements are
extraordinary, values will advance
in accord. Some few characters
will be really scarce, such us Bright
Virginia and North Carolina, and
really good Strips for the export
trade. That there will be large
percentage of Good and Fine To-
bacco in the present crop there can
be no doubt, especially Of White
Burley and Seed Leaf. The grow
ing export trade in White Burley
(the exports from this market alone
will aggregate about 10000 hogs
heads this year, will tend to exert
an influence in maintaining values
which the moderate crop Will war

The EK-empresS C1riottd.
Home Journal.

Every now and then the world
loses sight of those who once played
a part in history, but who are con-
signed to Oblivion when once that
part has been fulfilled. So it has
been with the Empress Carlotta, of
Mexico, whose name at this moment
comes again to the surface among
the news from Brussels, which Cnce
more brings hope of her gradual
return to reason. From various
sources we learn that the empress
has made immense progress toward
this desired end during this past
wear. She has gained the calm and
peace of mind her medical attend
ants had been so long waiting for
with great desire, but faint hope
The threatened embonpOint they so
much dreaded has suddenly stopped
in its development. and her majesty
still retains her activity. The once
raven hair has, however, turned
white, and the fresh color in her
cheeks disappeared. She has taken
violent passion for music, and
plays for many hours of each day
upon the piano on which she took
her lessons when a girl-the same
pieces by Dussek and PIeyel which
she was taught at that same early
period of her life. She seldom sings,
but when alone will hum the in
strument strange, wild melody,
evidently of Mexican origin, which
is supposed to be one of those sung
by Macmillan, who was making a
collection of Mexican airs, during
the last years of his reign. The
queen of the BeIgians is said to
watch with almost maternal ten
derness over the health and welfare
of her unfortunate sister-in law, and
encourages by every means in her
power the various indications of
returning interest in the things of
this world she now and then dis
plays. The complete indifference
TO all the events which occur around
her has been one of the gravest
symptoms of the brain disease by
which the poor empress has been
attacked, ever since the fight from
Mexico.

Their Weight, Legal Tender Value.
Etc.

The Boston Traveller has the following
relative to United States coins:
Gold coin of all denominations are legal
tender for any amount. So are silver
dollars except the trade dollar, which,
though seven and half grains heavier
than the standard dollar, is not legal
tender for any amount. Halves, quar-.
ters and dimes are legal tender to the
amount OF $40. Twsnty-cent pieces,
half-dimes and silver three-cent pieces
are legal tender for amounts not exceed.
ing IS. Nickel and copper coin from l
cent up to 5 are legal tender only to the
amount of 25 cents. A gold dollar
weighs twenty-five and one-tenth grains,
and it will take about % gold dollars to
weigh an ounce. When gold coin is re.
duced in weight by use or otherwise,
more than i per cent, or is in any way
mutilated, it is no longer legal tender,
and will only be received at the mint for
its value in bullion. When gold coin is
presented for payment at the sub.treas.
ury it is carefully inspected, and if found
below the required weight it is stamped
with the word Light, and returned to
the deposition Ii he has been careful to
note of whom he had received it he may
recover the amount for which he accepted
it, or he may send it to the mint, which
will return him whatever it is worth for
re-coinage.
The standard dollars weigh each 4l2 S
grains, which is about III pounds for the
weight of $1,000. The weight of 81, 900
in gold is Al pounds. One hundred dol.
lars in gold weighs the same as $50 new
81 greenbacks. Greenbacks of a larger
denomination are o little heavier.
Silver is about fifteen and half times
as heavy as gold. and about twenty eight
and a third times as bulky in proportion

lars worth of silver is little more than
% times larger than dollars worth of
gold.
Our gold coin contains 900 parts Of
pure gold and 100 parts alloy; the silver
coins 900 parts of silver and 100 parts Of
alloy. The five and three-cent nickel
coins are one.fourth nickel and three.
fourths copper. The small cent is 9J
parts copper and FIVE parts tin and zinc.
1t is estimated that the gold dollar is
used by $4,000. 600 of people; the British
sovereign by 35.OOO.OOO; the French
franc by 1900, 600; the silver dollar Of
all countries by about $50, 600, 900.

Professor s. P. Langtry, of Allegheny
Observatory, Pennsylvania, is engaged
upon measurements Of the heat of the
surface of the moon. Lord Roses ex.
periments led to the conclusion that the
temperature of the moon was that of
boiling water. Professor Langly writes
to friend at the Carleton College OBJ
servatory, Wisconsin: "We find no
evidence OF this. We find no
evidence Of any but reflected heat there. f"
The surface Of the moon. therefore, is no
warmer than, probably not as warm a.,
that OF the earth. Professor Langly's ex.
periments, made last year on Mount
Whitney, tended to establish that the
warmth Of the earth is due in large do
gree to the absorption of the heat Of the
sun by the atmosphere, and as the moon
has no, or next to no atmosphere, it is
probably much cooler than the earth. A
fair inference from this fact seems to be
that the moon has no moisture. For, if
her atmosphere is cooler than ours, and
there is no moisture on her surface or in
the very attenuated atmosphere some
suppose to be about her, there should be
deposite of snow at the poles, and we
know certainly that there are none, or,
at least, that there are no snow caps,
such as are on the earth and Mars.
