RIDDLED WITH BULLETS.

The coat which the Captain wore
through many campaigns prior to the
reception OF the one referred to above,
was literally riddled with bullets. 1t
was covered almost all over with patches.
A friend remarked TO the Captain that
both these coats ought to-have been kept
intact, without single patch to cover
the holes. The lacOnio answer was, ~
couldn't DO It-they were ali had to wear
for some time after the npleasantness.J

THRKE FINGERs AT ONCE.

On one occasion the Captain was lead
ing his company in a charge, aud to en-
courage his gallant GeOrgians, he kept
clapping his hands and shouting, "Give
hands came together on one slap a minnie
ball came whizzing along and took of
three fingers, two from one hand and one
from the other. This incident was learned
from a member OF his cOmpany-the Cap
tain being far too modest a man
to tell it himself. No man, perhaps,
in either army was so often struck.

MsrVelous Escape of "a Gallant Greene
County Captain.

From the Greensboro q GG.) Home Journal.
There Is living in our midst a gentle
man who can be called battle-scarred
veteran without figure of speech. We
refer to Capt. j. M. Storey. Few men on
wounds. In one of the later battles he
was shot through the body, the bau en-
tering the left breast and coming out not
far from the spinal column. This was
desperate wound, that kept the Captain in
the hospital for months, and from the
effects of which he will never fully re-
cover.

A HIGHLY PRIzED MEMENTO.

We were recently shown one Of the
coats which Capt. Storey wore at the
close of the war, and we counted four
separate holes through which minnie balls
had passed-One of them completely tear
ing away the collar. The coat is frock,
made of Confederate jeans-home spun,
trimmed with brass buttons, these, too, Of
home manufacture. The Captain keeps
this coat, dingy with the smoke of many
battles, as a souvenir of the Lost Cause;
and an interesting relic it is-one that a
museum or historical society would be
proud to own.

AS If all these wounds were not enough
for one man, Captain Storey was struck
by lightning while on picket. and knocked
understanding unconcious for some
time. His FIRST impression, as conci0us-
ness slowly returned, was that he had
been shot through by a cannon ball, and
he commenced to feel for the hole made
by the ball. He was almost beside him
self with joy when be found there wasn't
any hole there, and was not shot at all!
The Captains expression was, 81 never

who was proof against minnie balls and
lightning should have felt pretty safe. Sew

gratifying results have already been
obtained, Notwithstanding the disad-
vantages under which the Adfainistra-
ton has been laboring ever since it
went into power. The most formid-
able of the obstacles in its path was
the inefficiency and Generalization in
which every Government department
was found after SO many years OF the
grossest corruption and knavish prac-
tees. So far-reaching was this state of
things that it seemed as if the Govern
ment were suffering from cancers in
every part of its system.
Before attempting any extended and
radical reform of the public service, the
attention of the Administration was di-
rected towards adopting the best means
to rid the Government of its cancers.
To that end the President and his Cab
met have been diligently working dur
ing the last six or seven weeks. They
recognize the absolute necessity of hav-

of reform and good government.
Their phenomenal success i'll the mat
ter of good appointments is the best
proof of their good Judgment and keen
discernment. Every man who has been
called into the Government service has
joined in the good work of reform with
zeal and energy that testified to his
fitness for office. As the st. Louis Repub-
Ican says: 1.-The results are honorable
and gratifying to the Democracy. for
they viDdicate the spirit and principles
of the party as declared by its leaders
and National platforms during the last
twenty years The incoming of the
party to power has been the opening of
an era of economy and reform in the
management of public affairs. The
country already is very much the better
for the victory of last November safer,
quieter, stronger and purer. The peo-
pie are satisfied. They are attending
to private interests with the pleasant
assurance that all public interests are
in wise and prudent hands, And this
is the result of Democratic government
which Mr.. Blaine and his friends de-
ciared would produce such CONFUSION
in the country as was never known
before, bringing with it ruin and dis
tress.-4t6Gny argus.

message that it is ready for the public
printer, and adds:
"If personal friend of the president /.
not at fault, the cardinal points OF ths
message will be discounted. On the

ond, If the law is continued in force, its
amendment SO Us to leave discretionary

@As to internal taxes he will favor their

include the ores, wool and nearly all the

will be the treatment of the Indian question.
The pre- ,ident will Rldorse the evangelZing

legislation necessary to bring the milan

immediate steps to provide a national bank

CONDEMNED BY THE FACTS.

The protection journals are always
beaten in fair. square argument on the
subject of the tariff by the cinching facts
of the situation. When it comes to argu>
ing the question of freedom or slavery,
whether it be Of human beings, of speech.
of the press. or of trade, freedom has all
the points in the discussion. The theory
that the government has the right to go
into partnership with per cent or the
population and compel the other 80 per
cedt to pay tribute to the favored one,
that few shall be enriched at the ex>
pensc OF the many. and that the more a
mans necessities may be the greater shall
be his tax, is wholly indefensible.
Upon the ethics and morals of the
question the advocate of freedom to com
merce, like the advocate of freedom in
other matters, has the best of it. Upon
the facts in regard to the depressing effect
of the tariff robbery on the volume of
trade, in the restriction of the market and
the curtailment of production, the advo-
cafes OF commercial lTcctlpI have uol
onlp the preponderance, but all the evi>
dence in their favor All the forces of
reason of experience, and of logic show
that the road to commercial prosperity
lies through the channel of the recogni-
ton of the right of unrestricted commer-
cial intercourse.
T., ~ hal, OF friI of @
the protectonst recognizes the power of
his opponents. Having no facts 10 pre-
sent in rcfutation he makes q bold faced
denial. But the facts are at hand to con-
denim him. The closed shop. the shut
mill, the suspended mine, the cry of
cover, production" the scarcity of the
American flag on the high seas, all these,
though denied by the protectionist are
too well known to be successfully refuted.
They are all damnng arguments against
the theory that II tariff projects COM
merce.
That the removal of tariff stimulates
production is shown in the working of
the reciprocity treaties which have been
tried by this country. Reciprocity is
partial free trade, and absolute free trade
would be universal reciprocity. Under
it the market, now practically, restricted
to our own country wonld be extended
all oyer the globe; over production
would be a thing of the past; every manu-
facture could be carried on to its fullest
capacity, labor would find employment,
and the natural resources of the country
would make this the greatest commercial
nation of the world.
