why the Southern Confederacy Failed.

From the account of The Battle of

following 1--WE needed for President
either military man of high order. or

Howell Cobb without military preten-
tons The South did not fall crushed
by the mere weight Of the North; but it
was nibbled away at al! sides and ends
because its executive head never gathered
and welded its great strength under the
ready advantages that greatly reduced or
neutralized its adversary's naked physical
superiority. 1t is but another of the
many proofs that timid direction may

that the passive defensive policy may
make long agony but can never win a

MAMMA is BURNED Up"
Startling Announcement Made by a
Boy of Four Years to his Father.

GALLIPoLIs, o., Feb. A most dis
tressing affair happened Saturday af-
ternoon on the farm of Jacob Blazer,
four miles from this city. A tenant
living on Blazers place, named Morgan
Martin, and highly respected young
man, went to another part of the farm
to work, leaving his wife and little bow,
aged A years, and a little girl aged 9 at
home in the best of health and circum-
stances. Not finishing his work, he
did not return to dinner until about .
O'Clock, when a horrible sight met his
gaze. His house was wrapped in flames
and falling in ruins. He was met by
his little boy who was wringing his
hands and crying, Mamma is burned
upp'
The little boy said he was in the yard,
and that the table was set for dinner.
He saw the table cloth on fire and ran
in twice to get his little sister out, but
she wouldn't come. The third time he
went in the little thing ran into anoth-
er room and crawled under the bed.
Everything in the house was utterly
destroyed, as the fire was not discovered
by any one until too late to do any
thing. The thigh bones and portion
of Mrs. Martins skull and small por-
ton of the little girls body were all
that could be found of the remains,
which were inferred Sunday. 1t is sup
posed that Mrs. Martins clothes caught
fire some way, and thus set the house
on fire. at

SARA BERNHARDT
Under Engagement in This Country
. for One Hundred Nights.

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-Mme. Sara
Bernhardt is to revisit the United States
next season for a short tour under the
management of Henry E. Abbey. 1t is
understood that this astute manager
has been for some time quietly booking
a tour for her without saying the name
of the attraction. A private letter from
Paris says Mime. Bernhardt has exhibit
ed to her friends Mr.. Abbey's offer,
which provides that she shall furnish
her own company, and he shall pay her
in addition to all costs of transportation,
the sum of 81 200 night. A month
ago she could have been secured for
81 900 a night. Mr.. Abbey's offer COW
ers only 100 nights, and the tour will
embrace none but the principal cities.
