And very unusual sight was witnessed
at the Kimball House corner, on Pryor
street. II isn't such rare thing for two
old ex-confederate comrades 10 meet after
the years of separation and throw their
arms around each other and weep, but that
meeting of two veterans yesterday was a
strange one
One of them was a Chinaman.
The other was the veteran emigrant
agent, Peg Leg Williams.
Both were members of Forests cav
airy.
The Chinaman was dressed in the native
costume; blue silk blouse, loose trousers,
black silk sandals with thick cork soles,
and black silk skull cap, with long queue,
reaching almost to his heels.
He is a typical Chinaman, physically,
except that, unlike most of his countrymen
seen here, he is large and solidly built, and
moves like an athlete.
His face is noticeably mobile and ex-
pressive, and particularly so in contrast
with the dull, stolid expression of the
laundrymen. He speaks grammatical Eng
lish, and only slightly marked by the native
gutteral brogue.
"Well, well, we'll, said Peg, as they I'M
locked arms and stood shaking hands,
you're the last man ] ever knew that ex-
pected to see here. What do you call your
self nOw.n
HE Is DIR. MARSHALL NOW.
I'm glad to see you" said the other II

practice medicine. WhereF"
Zoo Chow"
And what are you doing here"
'I'm delegate from China TO the Meth
odist Conference at St. Louis After that
I'm going TO New York for a postgraduate
course in medicine.
Then the two walked off together down
Wall street, to Pegs office in the Brown
building. Everybody they passed-men,
women and children-stopped to look at
the unusual sight of white man and
Chinaman walking arm-in-arm like two
affectionate brothers.
ABOUT THE CHINESE VETERAN.
DIR. G.. X. Marshall, the Chinaman, came
to this country about two years before the
war
He volunteered in the Confederate SER
vice early in the war, aid Peg Williams
himself gallant old cavalryman-is wit
ness to the fact that the Chinaman was one
of the finest soldiers in the regiment
II think | went in just for the fun of the
thing he said, replying to the question.
81 was boy then. But perhaps / shouldn't
talk about war now. I'm through fighting,
and am back here for peace
After the fall of Fort Donelson. the Chi
naman saw little active service, though al
ways a loyal Confederate. and ''willing to
fight.
He tells some interesting anecdotes of his
war experience Peg tells some more on
him, and all creditable to the foreigners
courage and good sense.
Did you wear that Chinese dress during
the war; he was asked yesterday.
''Oh, no. he laughed, II dressed like the
others.n
ANATIvE MISSIONARY.
DR.. Marshall-that's an ode name for
Chinaman. but he prefers to be called by it
went back to China in rs Methodist
He breaches every Sunday now, and has
been doing so for years now, in Foo Chow.
He is acquainted with all the mission
aries in this city, and they all value him as
true Christian and a fine missionary. To
the Methodists, of course, he is especially
valuable.
II was never in Atlanta BEFORE he said
yesterday, but there are several mission
aries there from Georgia State-more it
seems, than from auy other State-and
heard them speak of it often.n
He called yesterday upon Miss Muse, of
Atlanta. who recently returned from mis-
sion in China.

SPECIMEN OF PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY.
At : o'clock there was large audience
assembled at the First Methodist Church
TO hear Rev. n-Pee-Zeh-otherwis
