erations the men who built the At
lanta had sad it was better to have
such things built in England that
that was the native country Of ma
chinery and iron; that the North
should catch fish and the South
sell cotton.
"But the Northern men had not
said any such thing. They had
said that there must be varied in-
dustries. They had said that,
whether screws cost them eleven
cents a dozen or ten cents a dozen,
we must have the ability to make
screws in America. Accordingly,
when the time came, we could
make screws and we could make
salt at this end OF the country, and
they could not at the other The
consequence was that they went
nnder. They are as brave as we
are they can live on half rations
as long as we. But, in the long
rnn. a nation that can make its own
coats and trousers, and shoes and
stockings, and guns and ramrods,
and locomotives and cars, and nails
and screws and hammers, beats the
nation that cannot do those things.
"This is the reason why we beat
them. do not wonder that now,
when Mr.. Mills Of Texas Is at the
ton. he wants to draw the lions
teeth; that is natural enough. l
do not wonder that Mr.. Cleveland
wants to let him; | wonder at
nothing which Mr.. Cleveland wants
10 do. Bnt | do wonder that prac-
tical men in the North and West
want to try such an experiment
As | said, war, when it comes,
teaches another lesson. The peo-
ple do not call manufacturers
thieves and robbers when they
come and say: "Please, how soon
can you let us have 100000 uni
forms or 100000 pairs OF shoes ?
.Please, how soon can we have
10000 carts and 10000 tumbrils 2
Then you find out that the ability
to make a wagon which can carry
the supplies of an army is an ablli
ty Just as much needed for war al
is the ability to cast a cannon ol
make a pound of powder.
"But all this has no great weigh
nowadays. People take it fol
granted that peace is to last for
ever. They have not imagination
enough to think out what it will bt
to have a foreign fleet blockadlnt
every harbor-cutting of salt an'
pins and needles and cloth ant
nails and the rest-leaving US th'
comfort of our Holsters and whea
and corn and cotton and petroleum
and pork and whisky. When tina
time comes there will be no FREE
traders about, and no one to asl

AFTER LONGFELLOW.

Tell me not IN idle jingle,
Marriage is an empty dream"
For the soul is dead that's single,
And the girls not what they seem.
Marriage is real, 1t Is earnest
"Single blessedness' is a iib.
"Man thou art. to man returnest,'
Was il not written of the rib
"In the worlds broad field of battle,
In the bivOuac of life,
Be not dumb-driyen cattle,
Be a hero" get a wife.
Life is short and youth is fleeting,
And our heart, though light and gay,
Still like sticks on tin pan beating
Wedding marches all the day.
Lives of married folks remind us,
We can live our lives as well,
And departing leave behind us,
Such examples as shall tell
Such examples that another,
Wasting time in idle sport,
A forlorn unmarried brother
Seeing, may take heart and court.
Let us then be up and doing
Ere this leap-year sun is set,
Still contriving, still pursuing,
Till all tie girls husband get.

Returned to Life Twice.

j. II. Carson, of Memphis, Tenn,
is a guest Of friends IN Cincinnati,
and from him was obtained the
details of a sensational affair which
is agitaIing the people Of Memphis.
Mrs. Dicie Webb Keeps a grocery
store on Beale street and is wei
known to hundreds. Two years
ago John Webb, a son Of Mrs.
Webb, married Sarah Kelley, pret-
ty girl to whom the mOther.in.law
became greatly attached. Before
one year of her married lite had
passed Mrs. Webb jr., was stricken
with consumption, and on several
occasions came near dying. About
a month ago the young woman be.
came very anxious to visit her
parents in Henderson county and
she was taken there. AT first she
appeared much improved and hopes
were felt that her life might be pre-
served through the summer, but
two weeks ago last Tuesday tele-
gram announced hear death, and
the husband hurried to her parents
home. Three days later he return
ed with the corpse. The mother-in-
law pleaded so b ard ror a sight Of
the dead woman, that finally, de-
spite the belief that the body was
badly decomDosed, it was decided
to open the coffin. While looking
at the placid face Mrs. WebD was
terrified az beholding the eyel ids
of the dead woman slowly opening.
The eyes did not have the stony
stare of death nor the intelligent
CLEAN OF life. Mrs. Webb was
unable to utter a sound. She could
not move, but stood gazing at the
grewsome sight. Her horror was
increased when the supposed corpse
slowly sal upright and in an almost
inaudible voice said, "Oh, where
am n" At this the weeping
woman screamed. Friends who
rushed into the room were almost
paralyzed at the sight and fed
shrieking. But one bOlder than
the others returned and spoke
to the woman, who asked to be
laid on the bed. Hastily she was
taken from the coffin and cared for.
| In the course of the day the resur-
rected woman fully regained heI
mental powers. The day following
she related a wonderful story. She
said she was cOgnizant Of all that
occurred and did not lose conscious
ness until she was put aboard the
train for Memphis. Soon after be-
ing placed IN her mother-in-law''
house she came to ner senses anC
knew all that was passing. While
her mother in law was looking a
her she made a supreme effort t
speak. Mrs. Webb lived a number
OF days, when she again apparently
died. The doctors pronounced hel
dead and she was once more placed
IN the coffin. While the mother
in.law was taking her final farewell
she heard voice whisper, smother

face, she saw the same look sh'
