Southern soldiers.

At the dedication of monument to
the dead soldiers of four German COM
panies in the Confederate army, at
Charleston, S. c., MAY 16, Senator
Hampton made the following address:
1--WE regard our dead as martyrs, and
God forbid that any Of their living COM
rades, their descendants to the remotest
ages, should brand them at traitors
Words, my friends, are not merely
empty sounds; in the domain of history
they are things, potent factors not only
in shaping events, but in placing these
events in true light before the world,
and we should never acknowledge that
we were rebels or traitor; that question
is to be decided by the verdict Of Impair
tal history and that of posterity, and we
may as well be satisfied to commit our
cause and our conduct TO those august
tribunals.
No SECTIONS NOW.
'Let me not be understood as discuss
ing the merits of the great conflict
which arrayed one section Of the coun-
try against the other, which caused such
widespread devastion, and which cost so
much i'm treasure and the loss OF so many
precious lives. The questions which
brought about that unhappy war have
Been settled, and he is no true patriot
who would strive TO kindle the fires of
sectional hate or reopen the wound
which the kind hand of time has healed.
No higher duty can inspire the heart of
every PATRIOT than that which compels
him to devote all the energies of mind
and body TO make this country worthy
of the admiration and respect of the
world. the llt home for all time to come
of American free men. This duty de-
wolves on us in the South as urgently as
upon any other citizen of this broad
land, for whatever may have been the
issue which brought civil war we must
remember that all-North, South, East
and West have bat one country and but
one constitution TO both of which our al
legiance is due.
THE SOLDIERS NOT FORGOTTEN.
"But while we OF the South recog-
nize this fact fully it does not follow
that we should refuse TO do honor TO the
memory Of our dead comrades. The
men who met us in battle would feel a
Just contempt for us were we base

"My sympathies," said an old soldier,
"are with Roger A. Pryor in tins new
controversy. The story is like this: On
the 9th day of November, 1864, General
Pryor left the Confederate lines and
went toward the Union lines for the
purpose, as he explained, of exchanging
newspapers with the Union pickets. At
first there was no response to his signal,
but in about half an hour a Union Of
fcer started to meet him, but instead Of
exchanging papers made Pryor prison.
er and took him into the Union lines.
''lt Is easier for an old soldier TO UNI
derstand the predlcament in which
Pryor placed himself than for any editor
or politician Of tins day. He, of course,
went against orders He took all the
risk. and he had to face the conse-
quences, but good many of the fell
lows will be in sympathy with him, be-
cause they were caught in such scrapes
themselves. l went out on this ex-
change business once in front of Chat

more danger in going than in taking a
walk inside the Notifications
I'VE had been exchanging papers for
several days, and there was secret un-
derstanding among the men on picket
that all the rules of war should he sus-
pended, and that practically newspa-
per should be regarded as flag OF
truce. Strict orders. however, had been
given that no such exchanges should be
made. l knew this, but in the spirit oil

was organized by DR.. Mott in 1861. Later on
the United States Army General hospital, Of
which he was director, was founded. In 1862
he received the commission Of surgeon of the
United States volunteers, with the rank of
major. Toward the close of the war he acted
as medical inspector of the Department OF
Virginia and was attached to the staff OF
Gen. Edward o. G. Ord. He was present at
the conference between Gen. Grant and Gen.
Lee when they arranged the term OF surren-
der of the Confederate forces.
The success of Bellevue Medical college is
due largely to DR.. Mott, who was one of the
founders of that institution and in which he
held the chair Of surgical anatomy from 1861
till 1872, when he became professor Of clinical
and operative surgery, which place he hon
orably filed to the time Of his death. Many
difficult operations were performed by DR..
Mott. The doctor made special study OF
hydrophobia, and was considered the highest
American authority upon this subject. He
and his son tried to form a school in New
York like the one founded in Paris by Pas
teur, but the experiment was not success
Dr. Mott was as equally well distinguished
In society as in his profession. He was a
member of the Century club and was espe-
cially interested in Masonry, in which he had

Der Of the Loyal Legion, also president Of the

she left her home for California with her
uncle. William Sloan, in 1870. Her parents
both dist in 1854 and left her in possession OF
considerable property, which, however, she
had spent by the time she went west In
California she lived with her uncle's mother,
but they did not agree, so her uncle removed
her 70 a hotel, where she had suite Of apart
ments and lived in style. In 1880 she first
met Senator Sharon, and her relations with
him extended over considerable period. At
forwards she brought her famous suit against
him, and Terry was her counsel. He finally
married her.
The suit, as is well known, was finally decid-
ed against her, and it was in the court room
where Justice Field made his decision that
Sarah Althea accused him Of bribery, and 1t
was here that Judge Terry drew his knife,
for which actions he and his wife were both
sentenced TO imprisonment, and both vowed
vengeance, it is said against Justice Field.
The rest OF the story is well known. The
meeting Of Field and Terry in the hotel at
Lathrop, and the shooting of Terry by Dep
uty United States Marshal Maggie, who had
been appointed Justice Fields body guard,
forms tragic ending TO tumultuous life.
Justice Field. who seems TO have had a mar

was born in Haddam, Conn, in 1916. He

THE ORION MAIDSTONE.


state from Kentucky when Joseph Smith
and his Mormon followers fed from Missouri
into Illinois. 1t is claimed by its enthusiastic
admirers that this stone has wrought untold
good to humanity. 1t is estimated to have
saved no less than hundred people from the
horrors Of death. An old man from Louisi-
ana, named Hoagland, located in Kentucky
in the neighborhood of the school Mr.. Orton
was attending, having this maidstone with
him. His story is that the stone was found
in an Indian mound by colored preacher.
Hoagland did not know Of any wonderful
cures that had been effected by its applica-
ton to wounds, yet he said several people
had recovered from snake bites through the
application Of the stone to the wound.
Young Orion obtained the stone by trading
one Of Hoagland's boys a jackknife for the
stone.
While in Kentucky Mr. Orton applied the
stone to several mad dog bites, aud in every
case the parties recovered He does not re-
member all those who have been treated by
the stone, but thinks they would number
fully hundred. So far IS can be <ascer-
tanned, nobody treated by the stone has ever
suffered from hydrophobia. A young man
who had been bitten through the wrist by a
rabid dog sought treatment in Denver. The
maidstone was applied and adhered immedi-
ately; in few moments great stream Of
blood, water and greenish matter soaked
through the stone and ran down upon the
floor. The arm was swollen to twice its nat
ural size, but In a short tiue the swelling
was all gone So far this ~ Mr.. Orton has
applied the stone to . nm0o Of persons who
are all recovering.
The stone is first boiled in milk and water,
the wound is then scarified by an attending
phydcian and the stone applied. Those who
use It complain Of a strange drawing sensa-
