Expert Enderle of the Times
Democrat has made a full and en-
couraging report of his labors on
the Kimball Iron Beds IN the south
west corner of Claiborne parish.
He gives us much information
that is encouraging. He estimates
that there are one hundred thous-
and tons Of excellent ore that can
be worked, and that there are large
deposits Of interior ore.
The surface indications were 60
immense in quantity in the country
travelled over by the editor of the
Times, that we felt sure the ore
must be below. Prof. Enderie's
report settles this question, and
we regard our iron region as now
doubly valuable.
With the discovery of UNDER
surface ore, and Prof. Johnson's 8
statement that the Ignite beds may

The Parting OF Lee and his Generals.

The final parting was in front of Lees
mansion in Richmond, two days after
Appotomax. Lees house is an ordinary
square brick. standing alone OH Franklin
street. one square from the capitol. All
the other houses on the square are con-
nected. Upon the afternoon of the Sec
ond day after the surrender, people In
that vicinity were surprised to see come
riding up the street from the south a
company of Confederate horsemen. They
were nnarmed. Their gray uniforms
were worn, soiled, and often tattered,
their trappings old and patched. They
wore slouched hats, and here and there
was feather remaining of the once smart
aud iannfy dropping plume Of the Gem
federate cayalrvmen. Theyswere bronz-
ed and Drowned and bearded. They sat
erect and came on with the splendid
horsemanship for which they were no.
ted. Upon the collars of some of the
gray jackets, could still be seen the faded
and tarnished gilt stars, the emblems of
the wearers' rank.
In front of them rode Lee. His two
hands held the loosely swinging reins
and rested upon the pommel. His head
was bent and his eyes were looking
straight ahead from under his downcast
brow, but they seemed to see nothing.
As the troops cantered up to his old
home his horse stopped at the gate, and
he aroused himself suddenly, as from
dream, and east his eyes upon the fsmil-
lar windows aud then around over the
group Of gallant soldiers who had follow
ed his fortunes for four bloody years and
gone down in defeat under his banner.
The end of it had come at last. He
threw himself from his horse, and all his
companions followed his action. They
stood hat In hand, with an arm through
the bride rein, while Lee went from man
to man. grasping each hand. looking in
tently into each face as though he would
press it upon his memory forever. Then
he turned and walked through the gate
and up the steps to his door. As SER
want opened the door he paused with his
left foot upon the veranda, his right upon
the last step, and looked back for the last
time. Not word had been spoken, nor
a good-by uttered. There was no sound
heard but chat Of sobs as these unkempt
aud grizzled heroes Of hundred battles
leaned their heads against the shoulders
OF their horses and wept
Loe gave one look, and broke down ut
last. His hands were over his eyes, his
frame shook with sobs, aud he turned
quickly and disappeared into his lonely
house. With the closing of the door be-
hind him ended forever the dream of the

Say not that your hopes are fled;
Keep that glorious flag which, slumbes,
One day to avenge your dead.
Keep it. widowed, sonless mothers,
Keep it, sisters, mourning brothers,
Furl it with an iron will;
Furl it now, but-keep it still;
Think not that its work is done.
Keep it till your children take it,
Once again to hail and make it
All their sires have bled and fought for,
All their noble hearts have sought for,
Bled aud fought for all alone.
All alone! aye, shame the story,
Millions here deplore the stain.
Shame alas! for England's glory,
Freedom called, and called In vain.
Furl that banner, sadly, slowly,
Treat it gently, for tbs holy,
Till that day-yes, furl it sadly,
Then once more unfurl it gladly
Conquered Banner-keep it still!

Why the Confederacy Failed.

Robert Toombs, like most adherents OF
lost cause, undertakes to give a reason
why the attempt to establish a Southern
Confederacy proved disastrous failure.
He ascribes it to the mistake of having
placed a West Point martinez, in the per-
son Of Jefferson Davis, in the Presiden-
tial chair. In his estimation man of q
different type was needed, one who would
have conceded that men who had not
graduated at West Point were possessed
OF brains and might be useful In organi-
zing and defending the new nation that
was to be.
If Mr.. Toombs had stopped at this
point. people would have given him credit
for M honest and consistent theory of the
failure, however far short it might fall Of
the truo one. But when he asserts that
the two men who could have saved the
Confederacy were Albert Sidney john
ston and Joseph +. Johnston, both Of
whom were West Point graduates aud
men of military learning and experience
solely. 1t looks as though Mr.. Toombs
would have jumped out Of the frying-pan
into the fire to find salvation for his new
government.
1t is apparent ut this late date that the
cause of the downfall of the Confederacy
was not the elevation Of jefferson Davis
to its highest and most responsible posi-
ton, but the simple fact that the
North had the most men. guns and mon
ey. aud that were the contest resolved it
self, rs 1t did in the end, into question
Of endurance, the North was certain to
win. The rank and file, as well as the
leader Of two parties to the contest, were
men Of Kindred blood, possessing the
qualities Of courage and endurance In
equal degree.
There never was but one chance for the
Confederacy and that was by the active
intervention Of foreign powers in its be-
half. Failing to secure more from the
leading Governments than the bare rec
ognition Of belligerent rights the Con-
federxcy was confronted with the simple
task Of whipping twenty millions Of peo-
pie, to whom the rest Of the world was
available IS . recruiting ground, with
twelve millions, one-third Of whom
were slaves and became In the end an ell
ement Of weakness. II is al vefy well for
Mr.. Toombs to theorize about what might
have been. bot the cold figures show that
but one result was possible. No system

NORTHWEST LOUISIANA & ITS IRON

We are we'll aware that the
croaker is abroad in the land.
There are those whose knowledge
does not go beyond the smoke of
their own chlmneys, and to this
class the croaker belongs. The
croaker now declares that the min
eral wealth of this section is a
myth-an idle dream, and that the
newspapers are fashionlng bub-
bic of formidable size that is soon
to burst.
The press of this section has
never claimed that tho iron indus
try is an assured success; it has
only urged that every investigation
possible be made, and that what
ever We have be published to the
world that capital may be brought
among us to develop 1t.
The geology Of northwest Lou
isiana is virtually unknown. Prof.
johnson of the United States geo.
logical survey is our authority for
this statement. Indeed, we are
as yet geological terra lncognita,
and nothing can be predicted with
any certainty as to our mineral
wealth.
The probabilities, we believe,
are decidedly in favor of the exist
ence of valuable iron deposits in
this section of Louisiana. Every
where in the hills we see traces of
ore that is undoubtedly iron, and
most certainly of paying quality.
In the Rocky Mount region of
Bossier the statement we have so
often made may be repeated. On
every hand is the iron ore jutting
out of the ground, lying on the
surface, partially imbetded, and
scarcely protruding from the soil.
1t is there in vast quantity, and 1t
is iron ore. Its practical value is
to be determined. We have the
men among us to do this. Expert
Endeae, Prof. johnson and a geo
logical corps now ut kimball's in
Claiborne parish are at work, and
to their reports We must look for
final settlement of the question.
In Webster parish, north from
Mlnden to the Arkansas line the
formation is the same as in Bos-
sier; the same hills, the same iron
ore, and all in abundance. Near
Sykes ferry great masses of the
ore could be seen from the road;
and short walk in the woodland
at any point revealed quantities
still more vast. From Sykes fer
ry to Homer the country is similar
IN every respect to that we have
mentioned, and in the southwest
corner of Claiborne at Klmball's
the iron orc exists in quantities.
We call upon our people to use
their best endcayors to aid these
scientific gentlemen in their inves-
LEGATIONS; let us determine defin-
ately what we have; and, if there
is mineral wealth among US, let US
make the most of it.
Croakcrs must go to the rear, or
the energy, push and vim of this
section will send them there.

Cleveland Strikers Still on Guard.

CLEVELAND, o., Aug. 1.-THE striking en-

held large meeting last night and agreed to
stand as firm as ever and never accede to the
demands of the company. 1t was announced at
the meeting that attempt would be made to
start up a portion of the wire mills this morn

crowd of foreigners began to gather In
the vicinity of the mills to preve Mt
any one from going to work. AT o'clock about
700 of them had congregated in front of the wire
mill gate and pushing the Waterman aside. they
rushed into the mill on exploring expedition.
Finding no one at work. they retired, but pickets
were kept on guard all day. They kept up their
espionage az regularly as during the first days
of the strike. and are determined that no man
shall go to work until they renstated.

Few literary women have done more to help
beginners i'll the paths of literature than has Mrs
Jackson Ii she saw the least ray of talent in
their work, she was quick to tell them of it and
to do all she could to help them. She introduced
Edith Thomas's verses to the editor of the
century,, and there are many others whom she
has helped. Mrs. Jackson, while literature was

the subject of the condition of the Indians, and
she was made special Indian agent by Presi.

Eyes, the clever young Indian woman who has
since married white man and lives in Omaha
Mrs. jackson considered Bright Eyes an excep-
tional woman-and so she is--and she was con
stantly quoting her epigrammatc sayings to her
friends TO prove that the Indian is not merely a
savage.
Mrs Jackson is supposed to be the author of
the SAKE Holme stories, although she has denied
this over her own signature. But then Scott
denied the authorship Of ''Waverey." If Mrs
Jackson denied the authorship of the SAKE
Holme stories. there were plenty of others who
claimed 1t, and know ole man who married his
wife believing her to be SAKE Holme, and who is
still of this opinion. Whether it will ever be
announced with authority, after Mrs Jacksons
death, that she was SAKE Holme cannot tell

Century also knows who wrote the Bread
Winners, and he is not any more likely to di-
vuige one authorship than the other. The last
time heard from Mrs. Jackson she told me that
she was suffering from oyerwork, and added
quite little essay on the subject to her letter.

a Paper SUSPENDED.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
MUNCIE, Aug 1.-The Daily Reporter, of
this city. suspended yesterday, after a nine
months struggle against the storms incident to
journalism. The suspension is due to falling

the paper unpopular. The Knights of Labor
of this city, were the particular subjects OF the
papers thrusts. They boycotted the sheet and
to them is, perhaps, due its suspension. To add
to the embarrassment of the proprietors-
