St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1885-11-25

turbed, he. like the Arab, silently folded
his tent and stole away. In the night Tune,
and without taking i've of his friends, he
went to Atlanta, where he remained IN
blissful ignorance of the hostile combat that
| was being waged in the city hall. He does
not care to venture an opinion. and ii
he is conversant with any of the things
charged, he prefers to keep his own
counsel. He says that he found the
Lookout mountain locality one vast burial
ground. 1t was there that upwards of
| 20. 900 soldiers found their last resting
place. He met many Confederate officers
and was treated with considerable courtesy
bv them. He speaks in glowing terms
of the reception accorded him by Mayor
Hugh Whiteside of Chattanooga and by
the members of Lookout post, G. A. r. He
found them all hospitable aud thoughtful in
planning for his comfort and entertainment
while there. In speaking of the country he
manifested pronounced dislike to it in
many particulars. He found the people in
the cities and the people in the country so
strikngly dissimilar that one would be
naturally led to believe they were
two distinct nations. The manu-
featuring industries are generally pur-
sued by people who were born and
reared north Of the Ohio river. and are in
strong contrast with the native Southerners.
The former are industrious and stirring
people, while the latter are prediSpoSed to
Incidence, and do business in an easy,
don t-care-a continental hap-hazard sort
of way. He saw in the country hun
dredS of acres of cotton fields ready to be
gathered, and few to do the outstanding,
while in the towns were thousands of half
starved, indolent laborers, wearing rubber
shoes and rags and tatters, too lazy to work
and almost too lazy to breathe. If they
had one meal of corn broad and sweet
potatoes ahead they were supremacy happy
and contented with their lot. The novels
of the people in the country are usually
without window, and the smoke from the
excuse of cook stove used in the culinary
department is carried away through mud
chimney. =
The better classes of course are very diff
ferent. They are happy people as a rule
and invariably take the world easy. They
nevery fret and worry and seldom meet
with marked disappointments, from the
sheer reason that they seldom make definite
plans for the future.
He found that the Southerners were al
ways glad to greet people from the North,
and always glad to have them locate in the
from the North generally come in their
midst with plethoric poeketbooks and bent
on spending theic money. He found in this
connection that they looked upon Western
people with more favor than they do the
people of New England. The Southerners
say that Western people are generous.
The walters at hotels and on
steamboats, and the porters on the cars
have kind appreciation of the difference.
From the typical Western millionaire they
invariably get handsome Tip" where the
Eastern millionaire would give up mere
bagatelle.
Chief West came home more than ever
pleased with and proud of his city, Mime
apolis. In all his wanderlngs he declares
he did not see place that he would care to
call by the sacred name home" He will
probably assume charge of the department
to-day.
