Cover them over with beautiful flowers,
Deck them with gaEiands, those brothers Of
onrs;
Cover the faces that motionless lie,
Shut from the blue OF the beautiful sky!
Faces once litw with the smiles of the gay
Faces now marred by the frown of decay,
Eyes that beam friendship and love to your
own;
Lips that sweet thoughts of affection made
known;
Brows you have soothed In the day of distress
Checks you have flushed by the tender cares;
Faces that frightened at Wars stirring cryi
Faces that streamed when they bade You good
bye;
Faces that glowed in the battles red flame,
Paling for naught, till the Death Angel came
Cover them overAyes, cover them over
Parent, and brother, and husband, and lover,
And cover them over with beautiful flowers,
Cover the hundreds who sleep far away
Sleep where their friends cannot find them to-
day;
They who in mountain, aud hillside and dell,
Rest where they wearied and lie where they
fell.
Softly the grass-blade creeps round their re-
pose;
Sweetly above them the wild how'ret blowsI
Zephyrs of freedom fly gently o'erhead,
Whispering names for the patriot dead.
So in our minds we viii name them once more,
soin our hearts we will cover them DER;
Roses, and lilies, and Siolets blue
Bloom in our souls for the brave and she true
Cover them over--yes, cover them over
Parent, aud husband, aud brother, and lover,
Think of those far-away heroes of ours,
And cover them over with beautiful flowers

The Real Estate Agent.

\ 81
It was not so very many years since
the real estate business was a mere
appendage TO q small law practice,
except in 3 very few localities. Thir-
ty or more years ago this was we'll
enough, for no one dreamed then of
doing what is done now, aud the seil-
ing of farm or two and a few city
lots during the year was q fair busi-
ness. To most of those men this vis-
ion of square miles of land, dotted
with towns and covered with net
work of railroads, shaded at times
by the smoke of factory chimneys,
and yielding up its fruits to the plow-
man-aIl through their energy aud
skilI-would have seemed q dream of
the madhouse.
To-day, very little business is
transacted by principals themselves,
and when one visits. q town, either to
establish an enterprise or rent a cot
tage home, he goes at once to the real
estate agent. And so it has come
about that the business has called
into its service some of the brightest
and most reliable men in the com
munity. 1.-THE old poke" who car
ried his office around in his hat, and
ttknew as little about the business as
the law allowed, . has been suppressed
ed by the energetic, well-informed
man, the accurate judge of the value
of property and the best means OF
making it profitable. Usually he is
a man of good standing in society,"
The public does not realize its obli-
cations to him, and too often regards
him us mere sharper, to be cheated
out of his hard-earned commissions
by any means possible. That there
are dishonest men in the business, no
one will deny IL is rather to be ex-
pected than otherwise as human ma
ture goes; but if any one will COM
pare the real estate men of his city
with the bankers, the doctors, the
merchants, he will find he has no
more right to apply the epithet to the
one than to the other. The real es-
tate agent keeps the property OF the
town close to his heart; he welcomes
all enterprises which will add to its
wealth he communicates with the
outside world, and is head and shoul-
ders into everything which renders
it more desirable as q place of resi-
dencc or business. Wherever the
real estate men have been allowed to
have their way, property has i'm
creased in value immensely, and
those cities which have grown the
fastest have been most directly un-
der their influence. .-Er.

EdIson,s Kinetograph.
HIS Wonderful Deoiee for Reproduc
ing Sound and Motion.

Thomas A. Edison's latest electric
device is the most surprising of all
his inventions. He calls it kinet-
ograph. The kinetograph is nothing
more nor less than photograph CAM
era arranged in new way to do new
work.
Mr.. Edison yesterday gave a de-
scription of his machine and its ca
pabilities to a number of newspaper
men. He said in regard TO it:
My intention is to have such q
happy combination of electricity and
photography that man can sit in his
own parlor and see reproduced on a
screen the forms of the players in an
opera produced on a distant stage,
and, as he sees their movements, he
will hear the sound of their voices as
they talk or sing or laugh.''
6 How do you expect to do all that,
Mr.. Edison ?''
g If it is desired to reproduce an
opera or a play will get the COM
pany to give dress rehearsal for
me. place back of the orchestra
on table compound machine con-
sisting of phonograph and kinet-
ograph, with a.capacitY of thirty min.
ntcs' continuous work. The orclIes-
ira plays. the curtain rises and the
opera begins. Both machines work
simultaneously, one recording sound
aud the othertaking photographs, re-
cording motion at the rate of forty
six photographs per second. After
ward the Photographic strip is de-
vcloped and replaced in the machine,
projecting lens is substituted for
the Photographic lens and the repro-
dueing part of the phonograph is adj
justed. Then, by means of calcium
light, the effect is reproduced life
size on white curtain, reproducing
to the audience the original scene
with all it's sounds and all the motions
of the actors exactly as in the orig
inal scene."
In the small box camera or kinet-
ograph Mr.. Edison places roll Of
gelatine film about three-fourths of
an inch wide and of any length de-
sired. The interior of the camera is,
of course, arranged on plan similar
to that on which the ordinary roll
cameras are made. The gelatine strip
is unrolled from one spindle and re-
rolled on another, and in passing from
the first spindle to the second is car
ried before the lens of the camera.
The shutters of the camera are ar
ranged to be worked by the shaft at
tached to the cylinder of the phono-
graph. This shaft also works the
spindles which carry the rolls of film.
The mechanism of the kinetograph
is so arranged that when the shutters
open the spindles stop and the gel
atine film is fixed before the lens
In less than the forty-sixth part of a
second the photograph is taken, the
shutters snap, the spindles turn and
the gelatine slip moves ON for new
photograph. The arrangement is 50
complete that forty-six perfect pho.
tographs are taken in one second.
To reproduce perfectly COM
plete record of a pure motion. con.
tinued Mr.. Edison, 8" it is necessary
that the photographs should be taIler
at the rate of forty-six per second. =
Amy smaller number would show ir
Irregularities and a break in the mo
ition.''

unnent.

Il e.
No objection can be made TO the
way in which the Southern people
propose to pay respect to the memory
of the late President of the Confed-
eracy. Whatever the North may
think of him as apolitician aud states
man, whatever may be its opinion of
his political principles, it can find no
fault with the Southern people for
showing a proper respect for him.
He was their Standard bearer as truly
as General Lee was their military
leader, and perhaps the time will
come when even at the North it may
be conceded that Jefferson Davis was
#au honest in following his convictions
as Robert Lee is universally admitted
to have been. The late James Red
path was the companion of Mr.. Da-
Wis during the last two years of his
life, and had regard for the Con-
federate leader which could only
have been derived from true knowl-
edge of the man himself. If one of
our most radical political guides at
tue North could have been won to
give this man his intimate friendship
we cannot wonder at the regard of
the Southern people. The monu-
ment to Jefferson Davis would be
worthy of the leader Of the lost
cause, and nobody atthe North will
respect Southern men the less on ac-
count of this manifestation Of their
regard for him. Boaon Herald.

Various Items.

The reason some people do not
have more power is because they do
not have enough weakness
The measure of a mans real char
acter is what he would do if he knew
it would never be found out.
Nobody wants to keep runaway
horse, but a good many keep runa-
way tempers and think nothing of it.
In the United States there are
100000 hives belonging to 20. 900
bee growers and producing 62 ,000,-
600 pounds of honey yearly.
A good handful of rock salt added
toithe bath is the next best thing to
an ''ocean Dip" and a gargle of a
weak solution is q good and ever
ready remedy for sore throat.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
officials have closed a contract with
the Pullman Car Company for build
ing and delivering thirty-four coaches.
The new cars will be of the latest
pattern, and in appointments will be
similar to the coaches run on the
Royal Blue line. The interior of the
cars will be finished with mahogany,
and the windows will be much larger
than the ones now used.
Every tissue of the body. every bono, muscle
and organ, is made stronger and more health-
full by the use of Hoods Sarsaparilla.
The Atlanta Constitution remarks
First class type written copy is hailed
with pleasure in newspaper and mag
azinc offices, but very little of it is
first class. 1t is positive relief to
get manuscript legibly written on
pen that makes broad stroke. The
trouble with many writer's is that they
use pen with fine point, and write
a hair-line scrawlthatis hard to read.
1t is possible to make written copy as
plain as print, and this is what every
writer should do.

Too long
deluded = the unhappy victim Of
catarrh in the head. Hes been
told that it can't be cured. Don't
you believe it. It can be, and it
is-no matter how bad or of how
long standing. It has been done
for thousands by DIR. Sage's Ca
tarrh Remedy. Other SO called
remedies may pazzSGte for a time !;
this cures for all time. By its mild,
soothing, cleansing and healing
properties, it conquers the worst
cases. Its makers offer, in good
faith, q reward of $500 for case
of catarrh which they cannot cure.
They are able to pay it. Are you
able to take it2
The symptoms of catarrh are,
headache, obstruction of nose, dis
charges falling into throat, some
times profuse, watery, and acrid, at
others, thick, tenacious, mucous,
purulent, bloody, putrid and often
sive; eyes weak, ringing in ears,
deafness /; offensive breath smell
and taste impaired, and general
debility. Only few of these
symptoms likely to be present at
once. Thousands of cases termi-
nate in Consumption and end in the
grave, without ever having mani
tested all these symptoms. DR..
Sage's Remedy cures the worst
cases. SO cents, by druggists.

There arc many very entertaining and instruc-

Messing and Embarrassing Horse which is il
the cruel FLINDERS, the more cruel check rain
and the most cruel and idiotic docking. The
safety of the rider requires that horse have
the use of his eyes, his head and his tail. The

A Very Sad Bereavement.

There is one man in Durham, Mr..
7. Edgar Cheek, who has, by the mys-
FERROUS dispensation of Gods provi-
-denee, been sorely afflicted recently.
Sunday his young wife, woman of
lovely character, to whom he was de-
yotedly attached by the strongest and
tenderest ties of marital love, SYM
pathy and respect, died after a brief
illness. And while she was yet corpse
in the house and the husbands heart
was almost breaking with its terrible
grief, their infant son, aged four and-a
half months, also died and was buried
in the same coffin with the wife and
mother. Sad. very sad indeed is the
story, and desolate and lonely is the
once bright and happy home of the sor-
rowing husband and father. The Dur
ham Sun of Monday says this:
As the day was gently sinking to a
close yesterday, the spirit of little Fred
Greer Cheek, infant son of Mr.. T.
Edgar Check, aged four months and a
half, winged its everlasting flight to
that ''land of pure delight where saints
immortal reign His
little marble form was tenderly placed
by loving hands in the arms of his
mother. As the friends lowered around
the casket, taking the last sad look at
the mother, cold in death, clasping
close to her breast her precious baby
boy, it was a sight that touched the
tender emotions Of all and not dry
eye was to be seen among the number.
