A Memory of Kennesaw.
Atlanta Ca Constitution.


Away to the left this morning, pir-
pied and silent in the August sun, stands
Kennesaw Peaceful to-day are the
wooded slopes up which twenty years ago,
the captains of the Federal army led
their soldiers and rich ARE they with
the red rain OF that awful day.
Had one looked out of this window in
June, 1864, he would have seen that crest,
above which the MONDAY haze pulses
now so quietly, quake with the red, in
termittent fash of Johnson's artillery.
There lodged in he clouds was entrench-
ed the Xenophon of our day, nerved for
the last struggle of his marvellous retreat.
Along that majestic front was the flower
of the South, waiting to do battle for
their homes that stretched at their feet
and for their families that lay expectant
within the sound oftheir guns. Through
those woods, the deep stiffness of which
is now broken by the songs of birds or
the bells of grazing cattle, plunged corps
after corps Of the Union armies, swarm
ing gallantly to the crest, but beaten
back as waves from granite cliff. In
the deep recesses beyond the mountain
sits New Hope Church, that famous rural
sanctuary, through whose quiet shade
Grandbur's Texans rode like destroying
angels, darkening with human blood the
soil upturned by the plow of cool veined
countrymen to-oay. Around the right of
The mountain Sherman swung his shat
tered but countless battalions, until they
rested on the Chattahooche. Down the
mountain-side faltered the gray army,
and into the valley futtered the stars
and bars. The last grand barrier was
passed. The armies that were beaten on
the mountain marched across the river
without challenge or hindrance. Allan
ia was doomed when the enemy passed
Kennesaw. With Atlanta's fall fell Nc
| Clellen's hope of carrying the country,
and the North turned to Lincoln with
revived courage. The fate ofthe Repub-
lie was perhaps decided in the foothills
that cluster 6imly about that mountain.
And yet there it stands, peaceful this
morning and dumb. Who can read the
secrets of its eternal hearts? About it's
base have lived peoples of which even
traditions are lost, and on its crests may
yet be fought battles by peoples of whom
no living man has dreamed, and decided
| by agencies of which we cannot conceive.
For all that, Kenncsaw is historic in our
generation. II was the theatre of one of
the grandest tragedies of modern times,
and healed as are its scars of war and
lost as is the roar of battle amid the in
effable stiffness of this August day, it
still serves to catch the attention of an
editor who turns absent-mindedly from
droning bore, ana leads him to 'snuff
the battle from afar Off" (Which" as a
forgotten philosopher has remarked, "is
very much the best way to SNUFF it."

A pIotracted meeting was being held
on Kuykendall Creek, at colored church
in the Mackey settlement, last week. A
wild Irishman, who owned a trained
white pigeon, was in the settlement, and
was helping the colored preacher 10 con-
vert sinners and save souls. without the
knowledge of the congregation. The
manner of procedure was thus: There
vas flue hole in the roof. When the
preacher would come to the right point
in his sermon he would say: Come
forth, Holy Ghost" Mr.. Wild Irishman
was on the roof and, putting his hand
down the hole, he would turn the white
pigeon loose. 1t would fly about the
room and return TO its owner. On the
third night, when the Holy Ghost was
called for, the Irishman SAID, in sepul-
churalt one and with the rich brogue of
his country Upon my sowl, the cats
have caught the Howly Ghost, and it
can't appear" This gave the thing away,
and so incensed the colored seekers after
religion that they tried TO mol the Irish
gentleman.

Last Christmas week was PLAYING

heavy snow storm and the theatres
were comparatively deserted. While on
on my way to the hotel after the matinee

girl about 6 years of age, who was lean

if her heart would break. Just at that
moment the lamplichter lighted ths

Whose heart is filled with wiles.
Who grasps nv hand with feeble grip
And stabs me while he smiles;
Noryct the one whose serious mein
A crafty nature hides,
Whose words from on a forked tongue
Like oily liquid glides;

A Hnrnnys STRENGTH
IFrom The Denver Tribune.J


A few weeks ago, Col. William b.
Sisty, the fish commissioner of Colorado,
went to the state fsh-hatchery, on the
Plata River, nine miles from Denver.
While he was inspecting the hatchery
he saw large blue heron preying upon
the young fish Ill the boxes. He ap-
preached the heron, expecting that the
bird would take alarm and fly; but the
heron attacked him furiously. The bird
was fully as tall as Col. Sisty, and was
so very swift that he was upon the man
in what seemed an instant. He used his
neck with lightning like rapidity, strik-
ing all the time at Col. Sisty's face.
Col. Sisty was unable to do more at first
than protect his eyes, and the blows
rained upon his hands left them
bleeding. His face was also cut in
places, for the bird was quicker with his
bill than the man was with his hands.
After the surprise was over Col. Sisty
prepared to assume the offensive. Pro-
tecting his face with his hat, he rushed
in upon the huge heron, seized the
creature by the body, and hurled him
to the ground. Then the struggle wae
soon decided, for Col. Sisty grasped the
heron's neck and held on until his Ell.
envy was choked to death. The heron
was taken to Denver and exhibited to
hundreds of people, who soon learned of
the fish commissioner exploit.
