Atlanta During the War.

" Atlanta was better off than Rich
mond during the war;" said gentle
man, the other day. " AT least she did
not have a bread riot" The speaker
was mistaken. Atlanta had a bread
riot several months before the siege,
and it was lively affair while it lasted.
1t did not attract as much attention as
the Richmond outbreak, but that was
probably because we did not have
President Davis here to speak to the
rioters. Our authorities managed the
business without parade or noise, and
came out of it very nicely. 1t must be
understood that the Atlanta of 1861
was not the Atlanta of to-day. 1t was
a depot of supplies for General Joe
Johnston's army. The fiery crest of
war blazed in front. The streets echoed
with the tread of armed soldiers. The
operations of the enemy and the needs
of the confederates sometimes reduced
the food supply to a low ebb, and the
most common necessaries of life COM
manded high prices. Even in the days
when shinplasters were most album
dant, soldiers wives and widows found
money hard to get, and there were
many of these unfortunates in Atlanta.
Yet they had to live without money.

Special Work.

There is work for all of us. And
there is special work for each-work
which | cannot do in a crowd, or as
one of mass, but as one man, acting
singly, according to my own gifts, and
under sense of my personal response
bility. There is, no doubt, associated
work for me to do; | must do my work
as part of the worlds great whole, or as
a member of some body. But / have a
special work to do, as one individual,
who by Gods plan and appointment
has separate position, separate re-
sponsibilities and a separate work; if l
do not do it it must be left undone.
No one of my fellows can do that special
work for me which have come into the
world to do; he may do higher work,
a greater work, but he cannot do my
work. / cannot hand my work over to
him any more than | can hand over
my responsibilities or my gifts. Nor
can | delegate my work to any associ-
alton of men, however well-ordered
and powerful. They have their own
work to do, and it may be very noble
one. But they cannot do my work for
me. / must do it with these hands or
with these lips which God has given me,
1 may do little or / may do much. That
matters not. 1t must be my own work.
And by doing my own work, poor as it
may seem to some, shall better fulfill
Gods end in making me what l am
and more truly glorify his name than if
were either going out of my sphere
to do the work of another, or calling in
another into my sphere to do my proper
work for me.-Ruskil.

one afternoon the merchants and their
clerks were reused from their usual
apathy by a startling piece of news. All
along the streets few the alarm, i" Mob
coming-bread riot!" Crowds of curl
Gus spectators gathered on the sidewalks
and filled the windows. The merchants
half closed their doors and stood wait
ing to lock up as soon as they saw the
mob. Thousands of soldiers sauntered
carelessly about with smiling faces.
They were eager to see the fun. A
cloud of dust whirled out of Alabama
street and turned down Whitehall. Out
of the cloud burst a roaring din, a med
ley of shrill voices, mingled with the
clash of arms. 1t was the mob, the
bread rioters. The store doors closed
in the twinkling of an eye, and the
merchants stood out in the street await
ing developments. The rioters were
women. Old women were there, with
haggard faces and brown, shriveled
arms. Young women, with painted
faces, were with them. Some were
armed with pistols, others with hatch
cts. They wore sunbonnets, and were
dressed in homespun. They were ac-
companied by numerous hangers-on in
the shape of soldiers from the hospitals.
The most casual observer could not fail
to properly size up the mob at glance.
1t was composed of the worst women
and the most vicious men in the town.
Their object was not food; it was in
discriminate robbery. Very soon the
cooperation of the soldiers with these
women was explained. They were on
hand to do the fighting, if necessary,
and to carry off the spoils. Occasion
ally merchant would protest against
the sacking of his store. He would ex-
postulate with the women, aud then
several brawny soldiers would hustle
him to the rear and cuff him into state
of passive submission. There was nc
bloodshed. The doors were broken
open with axes, and the mob re.
quired only few minutes to pick out
what they wanted. They took very little
nothing but little packages. The fe
male rioters forgot that they were en-.
gagged in bread riot, and went in fol
pinchbeck jewelry, ribbons and dry
goods. The soldiers took nothing. They
merely carried the plumber of the
women. The rioters swept on down
inc SIrceJ. NO OISdulHcu euOTJ Wds
made to stop them, and they dispersed
of their own accord when they were
satisfied. The next day it was whis-
pered that they would repeat their rait
on larger scale. The commander Of
the post was appealed to, but he said il
was out of the question to order his
soldiers to charge bayonets on Grove
of women. Finally, plan of defence
was agreed upon. The fire companies
were to turn out upon the first appear
ance of the rioters, turn their hose upol
them and deluge them with water. Thu
intelligence flew all over the town an,
the women were dismayed. They coulC
face good deal, but they could no
conduct bread riot through drench
ing shower of muddy water. Theil
soldier friends weakened, too. Perhap
they had received hint from thei
officers. AT all events they declined tt
turn out. Thus the second riot wa
nipped in the bud.-Atldnta Constitu

But the Long-Lexs Sister Wants Proof Of
Her Bresher'sIdentity
A Wilmington special says: Twenty.
five years ago William and Sarah
Aberneathy, Of Philadelphia, each
about five years old, became orphans.
Their parents died poor and the chill
dren were parted and went to live
with strangers. The latter neglected
to tell the brother where his sister was
and the sister was kept in ignorance of
the whereabouts of her brother. They
changed homes frequently and drifted
farther apart. As they grew older both
had desire to meet again, but they
did not know where to search or how
to effect a meeting. Both advertised
often, but unsuccessfully. A week ago
William came to this city in search Of
employment, and being near his birth
place decided to advertise for his miss
ing sister. The latter, now Mrs. AL
bert Z. Buzine, of No. los east Seventh
street, read the advertisement and sent
her address to her long-absent brother.
He called upon her Immediately, aud
was kindly received, but not with a
cOrdiality which such long separation
should demand. Mrs. Buzine was not
certain that he is her brother, and be-
fore she received him as such she de-
sired her aunt, Mrs. Jane Moore, OF
No. 1906 Richmond street, Bridesburg,
to see him. William was sure from the
resemblance to the picture of his dead
mother that Mrs. Buzine is his sister.
He remained here day or two, and
failing to secure employment went to
Philadelphia to search for work and
| visit his aunt.

Great Excitement at the Tobacco Ex-

HUNDRED POUNDS, AND FANCY
YELLOW WRAPPERS FROM CARO-

On Thursday last the buyers at the
Tobacco Exchange were. out in full
force to witness the sale by Mr.. George
A. Haynes, commission merchant, Of
this city (who handles very largely the
fine manufacturing tobaccos coming to
this market), Of line Of tobaccos the
like of which for excellence have not
been seen here for many day, if ever.
There is a region, taking in portion of
Caroline and Louisa counties, which
produces, by all odds, the sweetest to-
bacco in the world and while other
sections make sun-cured," none has
vet approached in flavor the product Of
the region named. OF course, such an
advantage as this ought to be worked
to its best. The demand for this leaf
is continuous, for it forms the stock Of
the very best grades Of chewing-to-
bacco made. This same region is able
also to produce fancy fiue-cured yellow
tobacco in great perfection, as is seen
by the prices presently mentioned. So,
betwixt the two, how could any region
be more specially favored?
The following will give some of the
figures of this sale: Sold for Joseph j.
Boxley, Of Louisa, sun-cured, No. l,

The virginias returned from their
northern trip Thursday, and at 5
o'clock yesterday afternoon opened .
series of two games with the Norfolks
at Virginia Park. Notwithstanding
the threatening appearance Of the wea-
ther there were about 900 persons,
with number Of ladies', present. The
grounds were in much better condition
for playing than could have been ex-
pected after the quantity OF rain
which fell Thursday. When play
began the visitors were sent to
the field. They placed Henry IN
the box, with Derby to hold him,
while Pyle and Householder filled sim
liar positions for the home team.
Henry's pitching was quite effective.
lie caused five men to be retired on
strikes and only allowed five hits to be
made off him. The virginias, by for
tunately punching these few hits, to-
gether with the two errors by Larkin
and the one by Carl, succeeded in max
ing three runs. The visitors hit Pyle
more frequently, but were not so
fortunate in punching, and he was
so well supported by the perfect field
ing Of the Virginias that the hits
gotten yielded nothing and the
visitors were unable TO score
run. LaIkin, who played Sec
ond base for the yirginias with
such perfect satisfaction to the au-
diences the latter part Of the season
last year, played the same position on
the Norfolks yesterday, and 1t was q
source Of deep regret TO his many
friends that he was so badly "off."
The Norfolks play very well in the
field, bat quite well, and better bat
terry work than that of yesterday could
not be desired, but their weak point is
their running between bases. The
captain should see to it that
his men are better coached.
Householder led in batting for
the Virginias and did fine work for
them behind the bat, having retired five
men by catching "tip fouls" Nash
went to the bat four times, and struck
out as often. This, with the home
run by Johnston, which was made by
knocking ball to the left-feld fence,
were the features Of the evening. Gal
lighan did fine work for the visitors in
left field, as did Corcoran for the home
boys in right field. The appended
score tells the rest: :

MIR. THOMAS SAMSON.
In the death of Mr.. Thomas Samson
Richmond loses perhaps it oldest citi-
zen. His death occurred at his late
residence, corner Sixth and Canal
streets, yesterday morning at 1880
o'clock.
He was one Of the living links Of the
past, that past Of which so few live to
tell. He had seen Richmond grow
from city Of but small population to
its present size, and had in his ener-
getic way contributed much towards its
material prosperity and development.
He was good citizen, faithful and
honest man. always going in and out
before his neighbors blamelessly.
He was born in Leith, Scotland, No
yember, 1895; came to this country
when young man, and was employed
as foreman in the foundry Of David j.
BUR-, Sr. He subsequently became a
partner of Mr.. Burr, the firm-name be-
ing Burr & Samson. twas afterwards
changed to Samson & Pae, and this firm
carried on the foundry business at the
corner Of Sixth and Canal streets until
the evacuation of Richmond, when their
foundry was destroyed by the fire.
Since then Mr.. Samson did not engage
in any active business.
He was one. of the founders Of the
Third Presbyterian church, on Church
Hill, and took an active interest in the
Mechanics Institute which existed in
Richmond before the war. He was
also one of the first, in 1929, to advo-
cate the erection of water-works in the
city Of Richmond, and during his long
life he diligently labored for the ad-
vancement of his adopted city.
His funeral will take place from the
Grace-Street Presbyterian church this
Saturday afternoon at o'clock.
