Those were perilous times then.
Robertson was the first man to bring a
band of immigrants into what is now
Tennessee. Out of the 256 souls he
brought to Nashville 80 were killed in
60 days and 81 in three months. An
drew Jackson was among that brave
lot who were spared.

One night over 1000 Indians broke ir-
t. the fort, some of whom, in their
efforts to capture the horses of the
whites, made n gap in their lines.
Robertson's wife opened a gate and set
the dogs on them and between the
horses and dogs together the whites
escaped. Hence her remark above.

1t may be a little strange to some peo-
pie, but it is nevertheless true, that two
thirds of the battles of the Revolutions
ry war, and the battle of New Orleans,
were fought and won by Southern men.
To this add most of the fighters in the
Mexican war and the fact that the Pres
ident who was elected on the issue of
that war came from Columbia,

Ladies and gentlemen, stOck-raisers
and fellow-citizens, as you read the ac-
count of the riots up yOnder, are you not
glad you live in a peaceful country,
where the springs trickle DER pebbly
stones, the green grass grows all around
and the lowing herd winds slowly DER

Robertson ought not to be mentioned
without saying something OF that otEer
noted Tennessean-his contemporary
and friend, John Sewer. With $50 men
Sewer turned the tide of battle at Kings
Mountain, which really turned the tide
of the war.

The stringency of money matters, the
uncertainty of labor, the unprotitable-
ness of many legitimate trades and the
incessant bad weather, all point to the
fact that something is wrong in the
land. We believe Cleveland is the rem
edv from high tides to taxes.

Therefore, young man of Columbia,
and of the South in general, go out to
the Arsenal grounds Wednesday and
when that flag goes up for the first time,
yell as loud as you please; it is yours;
your forefathers made it possibility.
The Union, as a government, was not
responsible for the civil war. The old
lady had nothing to do with it. She was
busy setting hens when her two boys
got into that hair-pulling.

Suppose they do make a little more

they have half the fun? Do they ever
lay a crop by and go fishing? Or SOW

POPE LEo'S MODE OF LIFE.



Although Eighty-Two Years Old, His
Health Bellies All Rumors.
The pope was eighty-two years of age
on March 2. Leo XIII. has now occu-
pied the chair of st. Peter for fourteen
years, and although there have been
many rumors of the unsatisfactory state
of his health lately there seems to be no
good reason why he should not occupy it
for good many years longer, says the
Pail Mall Budget. His holiness mode
of life is of the simplest. He usually
rises at o'clock in the morning, offers
the sacrifice of the mass and then be-
gins his working day.
For breakfast he has single glass of
coffee, tea or milk, and after going
through his papers begins to receive
about nine. From that hour till one in
the afternoon the throng of visitors
never slackens. He then returns to his
papers and his books until three, when
he dimes.
The dinner of his holiness is of the
same frugal character as his breakfast
ia little soup, two courses of meat
with vegetables, and dessert of fruit,
with one glass of wine. After dinner
he goes out for drive or walk in the
gardens of the vatican. He afterward
resumes his papers Between nine and
ten o'clock all the papal household as
semble for the rosary and then retire to
rest.
Although the pope wears spectacles
when reading his eyesight continues
very good. When he was young man
he was very shortsighted, but as he
grew older his sight became better, and
at seventy it was better thar
when he was twenty years of age. A
bon mot of his holiness at last Christ
mas reception may not have been for
| gotten. 1t was addressed to Carolina
Parrocchi, who is believed in man,
quarters to be heir-presumptive to tn,
chair of st. Peter. When the carolina
had wished him happy new year tn,
pope said, with twinkle in hi
eye Thank you, thank you, you
eminence; hope to be still here o.
the eve of next year to receive one
more your sincere congratulations"

A Good Suggestion in the Way of Postal
Cards.
The postmaster general states III ms
annual report that, upon the PROPOSE
ton of the United States, it was agreed
by the delegates of the postal union at
their recent meeting in Vienna that
every country should supply the public
with reply-paid postal card. Such
cards have been in use in Austria for
many years, and would be economical
and convenient in domestic as well as
in foreign correspondence They are
composed of two unseparated postal
cards, folded in the form of a single
card, and need no other fastening.
A correspondent can insure a correct
ly addressed and probably prompt an
swer by writing his full address on the
reply fold of the card before mailing it,;
the card, on its first journey, being
folded so as to cover the reply address.
The receiver has simply to write his an
swer on the reply card, tear it off the
inquiry card, and renal it.
If one does not care to preserve the
inquiry or to write long letter, the

purposes, may be written in one or two

Forty" or ''41 Temple Place" or Dos
TOM or "Smith & JONES'" or IS per
cent" or any other short replies,
signed with initials or full name, with
out any heading of place or date, would,
in connection with the attached in
quiry card, convey as full and definite
an answer, and show as plainly when,
where and by whom it was written, as
an answer on an ordinary card or letter
that contains, besides place, date and
address, summary of the inquiry to
which it is a reply.

ten Cen T.. a. Collins, Of Boston, stat
ing that she was delighted with the
heartiness with which the work had
been taken up. After thanking Ameri-
can friends for their cooperation the
countess of Aberdeen says:
1--WE are determined that YOU shall
not be ashamed Of the practical support
you are giving us, but that the Irish
and their friends in America shall feel
glow of pride when they see the pro-
auctions OF peasant hands in the old
country in their great metropolis of the
west The intimate relationship which
has existed between America and Ire
land makes it essential that Ireland and
her work us it really is should be prop
erly and efficiently represented in this
unique exposition, and we shall
keep this object mainly in view
rather than any object of intro
ducing Irish manufactures to any
large extent into the United States.
We are fully aware that there are

the Irish in America but the people of
the United States generally will glad

Ireland a chance of showing what she

claim among the nations of the earth
by reason of the cleverness and dizziness

QUEER FISH.
Beds Covering Hundreds of Square Miles
Found in Colorado.

Found iii Colorado.
Superintendent w. c. Hart, of the
northern division of the Colorado worlds
fair mineral department, recently re
turned from trip in the northwestern
part Of the state. During his absence.
says the Rocky Mountain News. Mr..
Hart made Investigations leading to ono
of the most remarkable geological dis
coveries ever known in the west. Vast
fish beds, covering hundreds of square
miles in northwestern Colorado. are
brought to light and cannot fail to
awaken great interest in scientific
circles. The beds, SO far as traced by
Mr.. Hart, extend a distance of one hun
dred and fifty miles in the region of the
Green river country and when traced to
points more than one hundred miles
toward the interior of the state. Scicn-
fists have known of the existence of
primcval deposits of fish in Wyoming,
but for the first time discovery of a
similar character is reported in this
state. The beds are one hundred and
fifty TO two hundred feet thick. To the
ordinary observer their origin would
remain forever mystery.
How untold millions of fish could be
piled in distinct layers over large area
of country which is now five thousand
to ten thousand feet above sea level is a
problem which might stagger the most
profound geologist. After careful in
vestigation Mr.. Hart has arrived at
theory which at least appears plausible.
According to his theory, there was
time when the region of the fish de-
posts formed the shore of a salt water
ocean. As the tides swept the waters
against the rocky Shores marshes were
formed on the opposite side of the rocky
barrier The tides surged against the
barrier with such force as to throw the
fish into the shallow waters. Owing to
the heated temperature of the air, the
water in the marshes evaporated before
the tide again returned. leaving the fish
to expire in the mud.
The next flow brought a new supply
of fish and after many centuries the beds
of to-day Were formed. The deposit of
each return of the tide is distinctly
marked in the cliffs and ON the sides of
the canyons of the mountain streams.
The deposit was raised to it's present
elevation by the same hidden forces
which formed the mountains.
