We had been two days on our home

gentle docility which had characterized
the lads father during his intercourse
with me at Boomvile was manifest in
my fellowtraveler. was trying to dis
cover the path to the hidden intelligence
of Moses, and to lead him with me.
We stopped for a noon rest by the bank
of little stream. and the boy lay at nv
feet as child might have done, and it

There was a strange sound from the
lad as of suddenly catching his breath,
then his hand clutched mine, and the
long-silent voice took up the refrain
"AmdbI, amdbas. am0b0t: dmdbdmus.

into her little parlor, and into the pres

with soft gray hair and a general air of
culture and refinement that could only

10 seems hardly necessary 10 say anything Of
the history Of Gen. Il. L. Butler. No man in the
whole nation has been more constantly in the
public eye for the last four decades than he. As
a successful lawyer aud influential politician
before the war, as patriot who was among the
first TO respond 20 the cOuntry's call At the firing
upon Fort Sumter as the man who gave New
Orleans the best government the city ever had,
as Commander of the Army Of the James, as a
Representative IN Congress and a leading pOliti-
clan since the war, he has had public attention
constantly focused upon him. No man in the
country has received more praise and more
abuse than he, aud no man has more warm,
personal friends and admirers. Many Of the
people of the South have been particularly bitter
against him, and have tried TO make his name
the synonym for all that was detestable. He is
now about TO return good for evil, and heap
Goals Of fire upon the heads Of his detractors by
a great enterprise to help restore prosperity TO
the cgiOn which suffered so severely from the
ravages Of the war. He is at tho head Of the
great Georgia-Alabama Investment and Devel-
opmeut Co., whose advertisement appears else
where in this paper, which is made up Of capi-
talists whom he has assOciated with himself in
q scheme to rebuild and develop large portions
OF Dixie. Early next month he intends % make
tour Of the South, visiting that section for the
first time since the close Of the war-twenty-six
years ago lie will go to New Orleans, aud 10
all other prominent points, and survey the field
OF operations Of this company carefully, 10 in
form himself personally as to the possibilities
Of each locality. There issOmething phenOme-
nal in such tour by a General whose first vis
was sword in hand, but who now goes as a re-
stOrer. IL will be watched with great interest
by all sections Of the country.
