FITZRUGH LEE,
A Peppery Response to the Misstatements of q
SUPERFICIAL Preacher of Kansas.

ST. LOUIS, June lion Decoration Day,
Rev. s. McChesney, pastor of the Methodist
Church at Topeka. Kan. delivered an ad-
dres, in which he used the following language:
II will not attempt to conceal or describe my
emotions when I learned that on the 4th of
March, last year. at the time of the Inaugural
ton ceremonies at Washington, an ex-con-
federate general, Fitzhugh Lee, led that mill
tary procession in confederate uniform, with
gallant Sheridan relegated to an inferior posi-
ton in that line"
The address attracted considerable attention
at the time. and met General Lees eye, for
yesterday the secretary of the Democratic State
central committee received the following letter
from hm
RICHMOND. Va, June 10.
1.-THE statements of Dr. McChesney are false,
vizs, that an exconfederate general led the mill
tary in the procession in confederate uniform.
we'll as his statement that ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Sheridan, In blue, was placed in an inferior posi-
ton. and that the military was marshaled by
man IN the color of ashes. Just after reading
gray to ashes, ETC., l read in another paper of
the action of some federal soldiers in Water
town, N. Y, who had received pensions under
the laws of the United States, but who, not re-
curing them, had sent them to some confeder-
ate soldiers residing in this State, because they
thought their necessities greater Which is do
ing most for the promotion of a restored union
OF coequal States, the narrow minded blood
thirsty preacher, who probably never smelled
gunpowder, the ex- Union soldiers, who
stopped fighting when the war was overa l can
only pity man who remains belligerent so
long, and express the hope that after death his
asaes may be at peace. Very respectfully
yours, 'FITzHUGH LEE

Salem Cupboard.

There were cupboards in Salem.
Whether they are there still, or have
been built up. or pulled down, or swept
away, in the march of modern improve
ment, know not, but in my childhood
there were cupboards in Salem.
They were, moreover, real cupboards;
no after-thoughts. but across the end of
an entry here, or the corner of room
there,-places into which to huddle UNI
brellas and overcoats, or to hustle mend
ing and ch1dren's litter out of the sight
of visitors. Salem cupboards were al
ways Intentional The builder under
stood his responsibility, and acted ac-
cordingly. The housewife regarded her
cupboards as the inner and most sacred
portion of her trust. It was no light
task even to keep the keys always
counted and polished. As for losing
one, or forgetting which was which, that
would indicate a mind so utterly frivo-
lous that one could hardly conceive Of
it.
The genuine, old-time Salem house
keeper realized that there was con-
science in her work. She took her cup
boards seriously. To her there was
nothing trivial about them. To do her
duty by the cupboards was ne of the
most inviolable principles of her sober
and decorous life.
1t took no ordinary brain to keep
watch and ward over these cupboards.
They were many in number They
were confusing as to size and shape
They possessed the charm of the uneS
pected- One never knew quite when
where one should chance upon then

during the three days, was allowed to
go higher than $50 degrees. He strips
the leaf from the stalk in the field and
takes it to the barn where it is strung
On wire and hung in frames which are
placed in position by means Of pulleys.
The lot of tobacco referred to, was
stripped, taken to the barn and placed
in position in one day, by four grown
hands and eight children, at Il cost OF
1862.
Mr.. Snow claims that the leaf can
be cured more uniformly by this pro-
cess. If, under this process, he can
retain the rich, waxy body while he
secures the proper color-he has made
a point. At all events he has accom-
plished enough to justify an examina
ton of his process. If our farmers can
find any plan for cheapening the pres
ent method it will be so much clear
money in their pockets. We would
be glad to know how this tobacco Of
Mr.. Snow stands in comparison under
the hammer of the auctioneer. Will

What Lands are Best Suited for Certain
Types OF Tobacco.
Maj. r. L. Ragland, eminent au-
thority on the subject, says:
The several grades of tobacco,
whether for chewing, pipe smoking, or
cigars, require different soils and man
agement to insure a product that will
command an adequate return for the
labor and means expended on the crop
It is, therefore, of the highest import
ance that the planter should know
what grade his lands are capable OF
producing in the greatest perfection
and the modes and management to &C
complish the best results from such
choice.
A deep rich soil, overfowing a red.
clay subsoil, is best suited for dark
heavy shipping tobacco.
A gravelly or sandy soil, with "a red
or brown subsoil, is best adapted to
the production of sweet filters and
stemming tobacco.
Alluvials and rich flats produce the
best cigar stock.
And experience has proved that 6
gray, sandy or slaty top soil with {
yellow porous subsoil, is better for vel
low wrappers and smokers.

The Light on BarthoIdi's Statue Gone
out-Lack OF Funds the Cause.

NEW YORK, Nov S.-Liberty's light has
gone out, and for an indefinite period. The
wind howled mournfully around the statue
last night; not even fiickering ray of light
from the torch relieved the Egyptian dark
ness OF the island. No attempt was made
last night to have the torch lighted and kept
burning another night. The men employed
by Hampson x Co. to run the engines, bank
ed the fires, locked up the engine room and
lett by the early morning boat. Visitors
crowded the boats all day, fully 1900 visiting
the island. Arriving on the island the cold
northwest wind sent most of them hurrying
to the restaurant at the foot of the pedestal
on the Jersey side. At present no visitors
are allowed to 60 in the foundation and
climb up the winding stairs Of the pedestal
to the balcony at the base of the statue. In
about week 1t will be arranged so that il
will be opened to visitors, and they can en-
JOY the beautiful view from the stone baleo-
ny. This will relieve a great strain on the
members OF the American committee, who
are daily besieged with requests for passes.
Mr.. Nj. B. Curtis, the well known actor, and
his manager, j. w. Rosenquest, will offer to-
day to pay the expense Of keeping the statue
lighted during this week, while Mr.. Curtis is
engaged at the Fourteenth street theatre.
Mr.. Goff, president of the American Electric
Lighting system, said last night that il Lieut.
mission he would light the statue at his own
expense for the present, provided also that
he could have the privilege of experiment
ing in the arrangement Of the lamps to Sc
cure the most satisfactory result. 1t costs
500 day to keep the light burning, and at
present there is no money ON hand for that
purpose
