ne-union Of the 4Ist Ten.
nessee Regiment,

ohe OF the most pleasant events that
mas occurred in our county for many
years was the re.union Of the Forty.
hrst Tennessee Regiment, G. s. A..
near Maxwell, last lrnIay. Boarding
The train at o'clock That morning, in
company with fifty or sixty ladies and
gentlcnen, We were soon speeding
through the beautiful and fertile fields
for which the southern end of our coup.
ty is 80 justly noted, and in a half hour
reached the grounds" Very few had
assembled when we arrived ; but by Il
O'Clock the crowd numbered 1900 or
l,5OO. Only about so of the old repi.
ment were present, however. Col. j
d. Tillman, of Fayetteville, who com.
manded the regiment during the latter
years OF the war, was expected to deliv.
er the grafton, but from some cause dis.
appointed us. DR. John Faris, of Tul.
lahoma, n member OF the regiment,
however, made splendid talk to the
"boys," followed by an interesting and
eloquent address by our young friend,
Matt n. Whitaker, Esq. At the con.
clusion Of MIR. VS. remarks, the whole
assembly was invited to partake of a
most excellent dinner which had been
spread near by. To say that there was
IN abundance for all does not half ex.
press it, for there was enough for more
than as many again. After dinner tie

ed for half an hour by our fellow.
townsman, Jno. II. Martin, Esq, in an
appropriate and able speech This con-
clndcd the exercises, and the remainder
OF the time was spent in pleasant chats
among the old veterans and their many
friends. and promenades, etc., by the
bellies and beaux. To sum up the
whole days enjoyment, we will say, We
had splendid weather, large crowd,
plenty of speaking, most excellent
dinner, no police, the very best of order.
and a good time generally, much of
which vas due to the fine generalship
of Capt. W. N. Taylor, Esq. A. W.
Barbee and "Uncle Bob" Nuckles, and
their excellent corps of assistants.
May the veterans of the old Forty.
first live to have many more of these
pleasant assemblies, is the wish of all
their many friends on that occasion.

Origin Of the KlOhenZOlIerns.

Her"ert Tuttle,in Harpers Magazine for April
The dynasty of the HOhenZOllerns in Prussia
has greater antiquity than any other of the
chief reigning houses OF Europe, for, although
they did not receive their sceptre at the hands
of Sigsmond until the early part of the fifteenth
century, they have transmitted it without inter-
ruption and without dispute during the whole
subsequent period How different within that
time have been the fortunes of many other royal
houses. In England the succession has been so
often changed by force and by law that the prn-
ciple of hereditary right is become a mere trad-
ton CT Tory jurists. The quarrels OF rival pre-
tenders in Spain have wasted the splendid leg
acy of Ferdinand and Isabella. The Bourbons
have twice acquired and twice lost the throne
| OF France. The ancestors of the ROmauOffs had
Just become dOmiciled in Russia as subjects of
the Tartar Cars, the Turks were still besIeging
COnstantinOple, and the family of Hapsburg7
Lorraine had not entered the peerage of Eu-
rope, when Burggrave Frederic of Hohenzollern
became Margrave and Elector of Branden-
burg.
The family take their name from the heiphts
of ZoIlern ZolIern-the ancestral Seat
in the Suabian Alps; and they first appear in
positive history about the time that the En-
peror Henry ". was making his penitent pill
grinage to the papal court at Canossa Be-
yond this all Is conjecture. But conjecture is
free; and while the loyal and learned DR.. Ger
nitlus. the first biOgrapher of the race connects
his heroes with the noble Italian family of Co.
lonna. the electOr Albert Achilles more am
bilious and less prudent, boldly placed his an
cestOrs among the fugitives who followed
Aneas from Troy. AS myth, this is perhaps
as good as any other; but the historian can
trace the house back safely only about eight
hundred years, or to the middle Of the eleventh
century. hundred years later the Count of
Zollern became. by fortunate marriage Burg
grave OF Nuremberg. The family thus reunited
extensive possessions throughout Germany;
and though not electors, the counts We're
grandees, and powerful grandees of the EN-
plre. What their own contemporaries thought
OF them is fortunately not known-fortunately
because 1t leaves their panegyrists at liberty
10 ascrbe to them all manner of virtues-fdel-
lty, moderation, courage, piety, even learning;
while 1t Is notorious that their neghbors We're
brawling and dissOlute barOns, robbing peas
ants and traders, flaying Jews, and transferring
their eudal allegiance with polite fidelity from
one pretender to another in the Empire. But
the remarkable virtues Of this family were not
long preserved under the control of Single
head. The two sons of Frederic first Burcgraye
OF Nuremberg, made partition of their inherit
ance. one of them retaining Nuremberg and the
burggravate; the other, the older possessions in
Suabia. 1t is from the first of these that the
present royal family Of Prussia is descended. the
line being represented early in the fifteenth
century by Burggrave Frederick VI.

A ROBINS ROOST.
Slaughter of the Birds in North Car.
DINA.

From The Charlotte Observer
Having heard great deal Of talk about the
roost near Mack Stafford's house and the sport
the people were having in killing. the birds, we
visited Harrisburg the other night and struck
cut for the roost. Getting down into long
stretch of bottom land. something over mile
from the depot the dull flaming lights ahead
ploted us to the roost. AS we neared the scene
of action we found that the rOost was In an i'm
mense canebreak. party of perhaps forty
darkies, besides a lot of white people. were just
emerging with their sticks and torches and birds
the sport being about over for the night. The
next afternoon. about O'clock Mr.. Stafford
called us Into the yard and we witnessed Won
derful sight. From all directions great flOcks OF
robins We're flying across the heavens to the
roost. which was almost in plain view of the
houses. For fully an hour one flock after an
other went by until the whole canebrake was
fairly alive with the feathered tribe. and before
it was dark large party set cut to make war
upon them. There were 6S Men and boys in the
crowd. each carrying stick and torch or
lantern. The canebrake is about mile long and
extends considerable distance on either side OF
the creek 1t seems that each individual cane
was bent down with its load OF birds. The re-
porter getting just inside the edge of the brake,
struck at cluster of birds and the flutter of
wings that ensued was deafening. From all
sides hundreds of blinded and bewildered birds
flew about, striking against each other ard
against the wind. All through the brake torches
CLEANED. men shouted and the deadly stick was
going right and left. The birds never left the
brake. but flew about in confusion. unable to es-
cape the weapons in the hands of the men, who
piled them tor about an hour with terrible effect
In the excitement of the battle hardly anybody
stopped long enough to pick up all the slain
birds, but went over their routes when the
sport was ended to gather their game Our party
went into the brake at 7o'clock and at all were
counting over their birds that lay in piles at
each ones feet. The total number of robins
killed by the party In one hour footed up 211O
The nightly battles on these birds have been
constantly going ON for fully three weeks.
