sleep in a land accursed with sectionalism
or oppression.
And now l hand over the two garlands,
both of which are wet with many tears,
tears of widowhood and orphanage and
childlessness. tears of suffering and tears of
gratitude, and, as the ceremony must be
performed in symbol, there not being
enough flowers to cover all the graves,
take the one garland to the tomb of some
northern soldier who may yesterday have
been omitted in the distribution of flow
ers, and the other garland to the tomb of
some southern soldier, who may, a month
ago, have been omitted in the distribution
of the sacrament of flowers, and put both
the wreathes gently down over the hearts
that have ceased to beat. God bless the
two garlands! God save the United States
of America!

the passage. "My peace l give unto you,
not as the world giveth l give unto you,"
1t read just as though it had been a
northern new testament. And when L
sat down and took from South Caro-
linian dying in barn at Bonneville his
last message to his wife and mother and
child, il sounded Just like q message that
northern man dying far from home
would send to his wife and mother and
child. And when l picked up from the
battlefield of Antietam the fragment OF q
letter which have somewhere yet, for the
name and the address were torn of, / saw
1t was the words OF a wife to her husband,
telling him how the little child prayed for
their father every night, that he might
not get hurt in the battle and might come
home sound and come home well, but that
if anything happened to them they might
all meet again in the world where there
are no partings, it read just as a northern
wife would write to husband away from
home and in peril conveying the messages
OF little children. Oh, yes! they were
honest on both sides. And those who
live to get home and are living yet were
Just as honest, and ought they not for the
suffering they endured have coronal of
some kind?
Yes, there was courage on both sides.
They who were at the front knew that.
When the war opened the South called
the northern men "mudsills" and the
North called the southern men "brag-
CARTS" and "pompous nothings," but
after few battles nothing more was said
about northern "mudsills" and southern

TAKE A WALK.
A Perfect Exercise for Arms, Legs and
Lungs.



Few things, if any, are so efectual in
building up and sustaining the physical
organization as walking, if resolutely and
judiciously followed. 1t is a perfect ex-
ercise. 1t taxes the entire system. When
you walk properly, every member and
muscle, every nerve and fibre has some
thing to do. The arms swing backward
and forward, keeping step, as 1t were,
with the legs; the chest expands and
contracts as the lungs fill and discharge;
the drummer-boy pulse beats a tune for
the march the legs curve and straighten;
the feet rise and fall, while the head rides
over all-but not as deadhead. Every
sense it has is employed, every faculty
alert. The nostrils expand to quaff the
breeze the ears to every sound; the eyes
roll in their sockets, sweeping from left
right, from earth 10 sky; the brain is
at work through all its parts. Prog
ress under such conditions is the
very eloQuence Of physical motion.
What is the effect? The flesh is solidiied;
the lungs grow strong and sound; the
chest enlarges; the limbs are rounded out;
the tendons swell and tougher; the figure
rises in height and dignity, and is clothed
with grace and suppleneSs. Hunters, who
walk much, are tall and straight, while
sailors who scarcely walk at all, are low
and squat. The whole man is developed,
not the body merely. The mind IL
broadened by the contemplation
of creations works, the soul il
enlarged the imagination frightened, the
spirits cheered, the temper sweetened.
The moral forces are strengthened equally
with the physical A loftier reverential
feeling is awakened, If not profound re-
ligious sentiment. No one who rightly
walks the fields and groves, or climbs the
nights beneath the heavenly dome. with
its blazing sun by day and its moon and
countless stars by night, but is irresistibly
drawn toward the infinite, as he clocks
through nature up to natures God"

pile of flowers half mile high and ten
bands of music playing over the
grave "Star Spangled Banner" or "Way
Down South in Dixie" Now, while they
are in their declining years and their
right knee refuses to work be-
cause of the rheumatism they got
sleeping on the wet ground
on the banks of the Chickamauga, or
their digestive organs are off on furlough
because of the six months OF prison life In
which their rations were big slice of moth
ing, and their ears have never been alert
since the cannonade in which they heard
so much they have been able to hear but
little since, in these cases L call upon the
people of North and South TO substitute
ante-mortem praise for the good deal OF
post mortem eulogium. These two garands
that twisted for northern and southern
graves shall not be put upon the grass OF
the tomb until they have first encircled
the foreheads of the living. 1 will let the
front OF the wreath come down over the
scar of a scalp wound made by the sword
of a cayalryman at Atlanta and droop a
little over the eye that lost its luster in the
mine explosion at Petersburg. Huzza for
the liyingI Gala lilies and camellias and
amaranths and palm branches for the liy-
ing!
But we must not detain the two garlands
any longer from the pillows OF those who
for quarter of century have been pros
trate in dreamless slumber, never
oppressed by summer heats or chilled by
winters cold. Both garlands are fragrant.
Both have in them the sunshine and
shower OF this springtime. The colors Of
both were mixed by him who mixed the
blue of the sky and the gold of the sun
set and the green of the grass and the
wilderness of the snow crystal. And | do
not care which you put over the northern
grave and which over the southern grave.
Does any one say: what is the use?
None OF them will know it; your Decora-
ton days both sides Mason and Dixon's
lines are great waste OF flowers" ALL
that praise for the living is better
than praise for the departed. Who
says that the dead do not know OF the
flowers? think they do. The dead are
not dead. The body sleeps but the soul
lives and is unhindered. No two cities
on earth are in such rapid and constant
communication as earth and heaven, and
the two great Decoration days OF North
and South are better known in realms
celestial than terrestrial. With what in
terest we visit the place of our birth and
OF our boyhood or girlhood days! And
have the departed no interest in this world
where they were born and ransomed and
where they suffered and triumphed2 My
bible does not positively say so, nor does
my catechism teach it, but my common
sense declares it. The departed do know,

you have had your Malvern Hill and your
own South Mountain and your own Get
tysburg all along these twenty years.
Come! And, If can not spare a whole
garland for your brow, L will twist in your
locks at least TWO flowers, one crimson and
one white, the crimson for the struggle OF
your life which has almost amounted to
carnage, and the white for the victory you
have gained.
Before L put the two garlands / am
twisting upon the northern and southern
tombs | detain the garlands a little while
that l may put them upon the brow of
the living soldiers of the North and South,
who, though in variance for long while,
are now at peace and in hearty loyalty to
the u. s. government, and ready if need
be TO march shoulder to shoulder against
any foreign foe. The twenty-six winters
which have passed since the war, think,
have sufficiently cooled the hatreds that
once burned northward and southwark to
allow the remark that they who fought in
that conflict were honest on both sides.
The chaplains of both armies were honest
in their prayers. The faces that went
into battle whether they marched toward
the gulf of Mexico or marched toward the
north star, were honest faces. IL is too
much 10 ask either side TO believe that
those who came out from their homes,
forsaking father and mother and wife and
Child, many of them never to return. were
not in earnest when theo put their lives in
exigency. Witness the last scene at fahi-
ily prayers up among the Green mount
aims or down among the fields Of
cotton and sugar cane: Men do not
sacrifice their all for fun. Men do
not eat mouldy bread or go without bread
at all for fun. Men do not sleep unshel-
tered in equinoctial storms for fun. There
were some, no doubt, on both sides who
enlisted for soldiers pay or expecting op-
portunity for violence and pillage or
burning for revenge, and thirst for human
blood, bu; such cases were so rare many
of you who were in the war four years
never confronted such an instance OF de-
pravity.

Darwin and the Deadly Cobra.

There is a story about Darwin and the
snakes. He used to go into the geological
gardens in London, and, standing by the
glass case containing the cobra di capello,
put his forefnger against the glass while
the cobra struck out at him. The glass
was between them; Dsrwin's mind was
perfectly convinced as to the inability of
the snake to harm, yet he would always
dodge. Time after time ne tried it, his
will and reason keeping him there, his
was stronger than both will and reason.

The Outlook at La PIata.

Not less than thirty of the prospects al
and adjoining La Plata city are being
worked. Thorough preparations for con-
tinuous winter work is being made by all
Half dozen new log houses are nearing
completion, and Logan is now getting all
the trade and practical J all the travel On
Sunday fully twenty-five visitors reached
La Plata, miners among the number, and
new arrivals continued on Monday. Blasts
resounding from different quarters are a
familiar sound.
The finding of ore in place on the Sun
Rise an also its discovery lower down the
gulch on the Red Jacket have had a mar
yelous effect. Late reports have it that
galena has also been found in the Queen of
the Hills east of the Sun Down and north
Of the La Plata. On the same side of the
canon as the La Plata are the Lucky
Thought, Pocahontas and others, all being
thoroughly worked.
The Heller, which is half mile up the
canon from the camp, is driving a four by
eight shaft sunk under contract. MIR. Cress
IS doing the work and says the prospects
Tor the Heller are very bright.
1t is generally conceded that the Logan
people are those that are to demonstrate
the permsnence Of the camp.
Since the discovery of the vein of ore in
the Sun Down nearly everybody has been
lubilant; and the intimation that the La
Plata engine would sound the hours was a
source of great satisfaction.
An ore chute and dump have been con-
structed on the Sun Down and wagon
road has also been constructed to the mine.
The work done here, like that done at the
La Plata, all bear evidence of the conf
dence felt by the owners of the property in
their possessions.
Work was resumed on the La Plata shaft
Monday morning. Three shifts will be
worked on it, and the hosting works viii
be placed over the present shaft
Thomas Harrison, who has had charge of
the properties, has done vast amount of
preliminary work and now has everything
in readiness for the winters work.
Ore is being taken out Of the La Plata,
just east of the shaft. The shaft is on
solid rock. Two feet east of it, is a soft
carbonate, out of which ore is being taken.
They have now gone down in this hole fully
fifteen feet and still the ore is there in the
loose arbonates-some pieces weighing up
to 100 pounds-Jou,.lnl
