CURRENT NOTES.

Orville Van Thompson, the pros.
porous and very prominent young
lawyer located at POS and 2l0 Cont.
mental Bank Building, 2ls La Sale
street, was born at New London, Va,
August IS, 1866. He received his
first education at the New London
Academy, and afterward graduated
from Harvard University with high
honors. He was admitted to the bar
In the State OF ,sachusetts in
1866, where he had large practice
till 1886. During the Presidential
campaign year of 1888 Mr.. Thompson
came West and settled In Chicago.
His oratOrical abilities soon at
tracted the attention OF several cor.
poratlOns, who sought after and sc.
cured his services by the year. Mr..
ThOmpson's law practice is to-day
very extensive, and his success at the
Chicago bar is perhaps unequaled by
any young lawyer Of his age In the
city, much to his own credit and
with general satisfaction In all cases
to his clients.
Orville Van Thompson Is q typical
Virginian; and, as Is natural to ma
tives Of his State, Mr.. Thompson is
quite an orator, as will be remem-
bered by many who heard him de-
liver his very able speech reviewing
tariff ami free trade during the

4 North Carolina Palace.

George ". Vanderbilt's palace and
grounds at AshevilIe, N. c., have cost
$5,0OO,0O0 already, and will cost some
S5,OOO,OO0 more before they are ready for
occupancy. The estate includes 1000
acres, and right in the midst of it, not
more than halfa mile from the magniti-
cent mansion, is miserable frame shanty
which George Vanderbilt can not buy,
although he ig worth untold millions.
The place is owned bya negro named
Joshua Moore, who has been offered Sl0,-
900 for his nine acres, which are really
worth about S. an acre. He says he has
no objection to Mr.. Vanderbilt for a
neighbor. Josh goes about half clad and
has difficulty in obtaining money to buy
his chewing tobacco. He raises little
corn and truck, but the land lies in a
hollow and will hardly bring the seed he
puts in the ground. The Vanderbilt
nurseries at Biltmore. as the Asheville
estate is called. arc said to be the largest
in the world. They consist of between
sixty and seventy acres, two and half
miles from the mansion. These nurseries
were established at first merely with 8
view to supplying trees and plants on the
estate, but they have so grown under the
orders of Frederick Law Olmsted. the
landscape architect, who laid out Buff
falo's par 'yatem, that Mr.. Vanderbilt
has decideu 20 turn them into CONNER
cial wholesale nursery after stocking his
own place. There are annually grown
in the nursery about 1000, 900 of plants
for the furnishing of roads laid out by the
landscape architect, and in addition to
this numb there is an order for 1000,
600 forest trees for replanting the denuded
hillsides. More kinds of hardy-wood
plants are now in the nursery than
can be found in any one similar place in
the world.-Bubdlo Express.

A Praying Army.

One of the most remarkable features of
the civil war was the wonderful revival
that broke out in the Confederate army
during the second year, and spread from
regiment to regiment, until there were
conversions in nearly every force in the
field. The work of the preachers who
went into the business Of supplying the
spiritual wants OF the Confederates was
greatly hampered by various drawbacks,
the most serious Of which was drunken
ness. Homemade whi5key was aston
ishingly abundant. AS soon as it was
discovered that there was money in
making whiskey, thousands of stills
were put into operation. In one Virgin
ia county $1,000 bushels of grain was
made into whiskey during the first year.
In one district in South Carolina $50 dis
tilleries were in constant operation day
and night. One writer estimates that
64. 900 gallons of the worst sort of ardent
spirits were daily made and sold to the
Confederate army. The field was un-
promising enough, but the chaplains
went to work secured loan from the
British and Foreign Bible Society of
e3, 900 worth of Bibles and began an ear
nest crusade. At first the work seemed
| to drag, but in the summer OF 1853, alter
the fall of Vicksburg and the great de-
feat at Gettysburg, the revival took
rnighty start, and moved on from that
time without interruption. Incredible
difficulties attended the work, and relig-
ious services were sometimes held amid
strange surroundings. One chaplain,
writing in his diary at the time the battle
of Charlottesville was beginning, said:
SIN the midst of all these changes an
, fighting, we manage to keep up our rellg-
ious services. preached one Sabbath,
at the time when our batteries were being
assaulted, amidst the most hideous
laundering o: artillery and mnsketry.
The congregation was large, serious and
attentive. While passing along the road
! that night during the maneuvers that
, preceded the battle, heard singing and
prayer. 1t was company of Christian
soldiers that had met in the darkness.
The work went on not only in the camps
and along the road that night, but even
in the trenches along the edge OF battle.
A soldier, writing from Fredericksburg,
said that one of the most interesting
meetings he ever attended was In the
trenches at that place. 1t began with
some of the battalion singing. One by
one the different regiments collected
round and joined in. Soon it was turn
| ed into prayer meeting, and there were
several conversions" AS the fact became
daily more apparent that the cause was
lost, the enthusiasm increased and re-
lieious fervor seemed to possess the
men. The meetings went on constantly;
singing and praying were heard in all
| parts of the Confederate camps. An
"Army Church" was formed with con-
stitution and articles Of faith so broad as
to admit believers Of every shade. Until
the surrender the enthusiasm continued,
and the results of the great army revivalss
were seen in the added membership and
| increased interest of the various denoml-
nations after peace had again blessed the
| land.

Charlottesville 81 Years Ago,

There are many people living to-day
who remember this as being the an
niversary of the close of the three
DAYS battle of Charlottesville. In
many respects this was the most re-
markable battle in history. 1t was
fought in Spottsylyania county, Va,
May 2, 3 and 4, 1863, between the Ar
my of the Potomac, under Gen. Hook
er, and the Army Of Virginia, under
Gen. Lee. The records vary some
what as to the number Of men engaged
on each side, but the Federal army
has generally been accredited with
1872, 900 men, of whom $4,000 were
cavalry, divided into seven corps, un-
der Gems. Reynolds, Couch, Sickles,
Meade, Sedgwick, Howard and Slo-
cum, the cavalry being under Stone
man. The Confederate forces are
placed at about $4,000 men in two
corps under Longstreet and "Stone-
wall Jackson, and about 5000 caval.
ry under Stuart. The two armies had
been facing each other some time at
Fredericksburg, separated by the Rap
pahannock the Federals being en-
oamped on the left side of the river,
while the Confederates were entrench-
ed on the heights opposite. The bat
tie was brought on by Hooker moving
a strong force toward Charlottesville
with a view Of turning Lees left.
Charlottesville was a solitary brick
mansion with few outbuildings. 1t
stood on the verge of the wild region
known as the Wilderness, which in the
following year was the scene Of the
battles Of the Wilderness. In a series
of desperate actions that followed
Hooker flank movement, the Confed-
crate army at times wasin a most crit
ical condition, and came near being
annihilated, but ultimately it was vic
torious in spite of the overwhelming
numbers against which they were con-
tending. It was in this battle that
"Stonewall' Jackson received his
mortal wound. Although the battle
was a victory for the Confederates,
there are many who believe the death
of Jackson was equal to victory for
the North. Gen. Hooker was nearly
killed. A pillar at Charlottesville
against which he was leaning, was
struck by a cannon ball and he was
made insensible by the shock. In
this bloody battle the Federals had
IL, 600 killed or wounded and 5000
missing. OF the killed or wounded,
1000 were in Sickles' and Sedgwick 8
corps, and 4,40O were in the corps of
Slocum and Howard. The Confeder-
ates had 1900 killed or wounded and
2,7OO missing. g.-Ne,o York Sun.

Three War Incidents.

I recall three instances in which
Southern women lost their lives in
battle, although there were, of course,
many others. I have been told by
men present at the first battle of Ma
nassas, that the noted Henry house,
around which the battle ragged SO
ferccly and SO long, was throughout it
all occupied by its bedridden owner,
Mrs. Henry, believed to be widow
of one of Patrick Hcnry's descen-
dants. The house was shattered by
the heavy firing. The invalid was
killed by shell that burst under her
bed. A little negro attendant, frantic
with fright, took refuge up the Chin
ney where she was found unharmcd
when The battle was over.
The mother of former business
partner of mine was found dead from a
Federal bullet while she lay with an
infant day old. Northern and
Southern forces suddenly met and
Joined battle at her house. The negro
servants fed, carrying their mistress
with them on mattress. In passing
through the orchard they were discov-
cred and fired on by the Federals but
not till place Of safety had been
reached were they aware that their
charge had been killed. The baby es-
capped unhurt and is now the mother OF
family.
The most tragic death Of all occur
red during the siege Of Charleston:
While marriage was being solcmized
that of Governor Picken daughter,
if my memory servcs-a Whitworth
shell from the Federal batteries on
Morris Island crashed through the
house and exploded in the parlor.
When the smoke cleared, the bride
lay on the floor, her white robe stained
with blood. The rest had escaped un-
touched. Borne to sofa, hasty in
vestigation showed that the wound was
mortal. At her request the ceremony
preceded, and while the benediction
was being pronounced, she died.
Verify life was an epic in those days.
