LONGSTREET ON EARLY.

One Confederate Generals Breezy Opinion
of Another One q the South's Heroes.
When Gen. james Longstreet. IN Richmond,
Va, was apprsed OF Gen. EarIy's DEATH and
pressed for an estimate of the dead Con fe,lerate
General, he made the following startling re-
ply:
Of course, Earlys rs soldier ! can
didIy regard dismal failure. He was gifted
with neither genius of war nor development of
strategy. In this opinion | will be borne out
by the records. The fact that | thought so
during the war led TO an estrangemeut, in
which Gen. Early pursued me with bitterness
that knew no reason. What | say refers to Off
cial acts and official character. ] speak not of
private life.
:" The command which under Stonewall
Jackson knew not defeat, under Early never
knew victory. This was not the fault of the
men under Early, who were as brave as they
were under Jackson, but owing solely to
the inefhciepey of the General in command. 1t
is hard for ME to express these convictions in
the presence of death, yet history must not be
falsified because of respect and reverence due
to the dead"
1t will he recalled that during the unwilling
OF the statue Of Gen. Il. T.. Lee in Richmond a
few years ago, Longstreet and Early met for the
first time since the war.
LongStreet promptly extended his hand. ex-
claiming: How are you, eGeneralf" Early
turned his back upon Longstreet. with the ex-
preston that he was not in the habit of shaking
hands with traitors, referring to the political
course OF Longstreet SINCE the war. Early's
action was severely criticised by the many
commanding officers of the bate So called South
ern Contederacy who were present.

By recent law women physicians are allowed
to practice in Turkey. This involves quite a
change in conditions there. The Mussalman
will not allow, except in extreme cases, man,
even physician, to enter his harem. Num-
berless old witches practice spells and charms
to heal the sick beauties, although the Orient
ais have high opinion of the science of medi-
cine. This law authorizing women to practice
will admit them to the harem, and they will
come IN contact with the Oriental women, car
rying 10 them new ideas of the outside world

The first number in this magnificent
series will be issued Thursday, February
18Th, and the PRESS will be ready to de-
liver them at that time. 1t urges its read
ers to begin at the very first mum Der. For
the first few numb ers we shall be able to
furnish back mum bers to those beginning
late, but the true way is to begin at the
series.
The PRESS is the only paper in Port
land which will have the handling of
these works.
Each portfolio will comprise sixteen
whole page pictures with handsome
heavy covers, each picture accompanied
by full description, SO that when conf
pieted the twenty parts will include $50
of the most beautiful pictures in the
world of art.
In order to secure the portfolio cut out
two PRESS coupons, which viii be
printed on the second page, of different
dates and bring them with ten cents to
the PRESS Office. For number one we
shall require only one coupon.
We believe this is the most attractive
offer ever made to the public, because
the works are not only interesting but
Instructive and enlightenlng and have
permanent value. It puts at a nominal
expense the privilege of studying the
greatest art productions and gives the
children as well as adults an opportuni-
ty to be in touch with the great paint

Stamp-Eollecting.

One of the best things about stamps
is that so many of them, having great
value for other reasons and in other
ways, can be obtained at small cost.
Fine collections of coins or expensive
bric-a-brac can be made by the wealthy
only. Many very fine stamp collections
are the property of boys or girls, or of
older people, in moderate circumstances.
This small cost, com bined with the great
value Of stamps as a means of giving
wholesome and profitable pleasure, ac-
counts for the great and growing popu-
larity of stamp collecting in this country
and Europe.
The caring for knowledge is one of our
strongest and certainly most worthy de-
sires. Stamp collecting ministers direct
ly to this; it's educational value is great
already, and is constantly increasing.
The knowledge of modern historical
events in concise and definite form is
one of the possessions of the thoughtful
stamp collector. We have, in Spanish
history, the futile insurrecti0n of Don
Carlos, 1875, clearly marked by the
issue of stamps which he caused during
those years and the face of the preteHder
in our albums keeps the fact definitely
in cur minds. The change from King
Alphonso XII. to the Regency and the
baby king Alphonso Kill, born in 1856,
no Soy collector will forget Nor will
the girls tail to remember that in 1881,
soon after the death Of the old king
William ILL.,, charming girlish face
N ade its appearance on the stamps of
the Netherlands.
These are but two instances showing
how recent historical events are record
ell by stamps.
There is scarcely stamp issuing
c,untry which does not exhibit on its
stmps the changes of government since
it began their issue Fathers and moth
ers who have lived through these chang
es Of government but who may have for
gotten the dates, will appreciate the
means which their children have in
stamps for preserving the knowledge in a
delnlte and suggestive form.
1t would not require much argument to
prove the value of collection of stan ps
as d means of education had they been
in use AS long as coins, for example.

Tyndalrs Rare Courage.

One of the dominant characteristics of
the late Professor Tyndall was his superb
personal courage. 1t marked his con-
duct everywhere, in his mountain climb
ing, in his chemical experimentation
and in his bold attitude in the field OF
scientific controversy.
1t was one of the sources of his strength
as an investigator, and it carried him
through many an interval of doubt, op-
position and uncertainty in which man
less splendidly equipped would have
failed and fed. A single instance will
illustrate the quality aud depth of this
mans splendid courage.
Knowing layer of iodine placed before
the eye intercepted the light, he deter
mined to place his own eye intthe focus
of strong invisible rays. He knew that
if in doing SO che dark rays were alb
sorbed in a high degree by the humors
of the eye the albumen of the humors
might coagulate; and, on the other
hand. if there was no high absorption,
the rays might strike upon the retina
with a force sufficient to destroy it.
When he first brought his eye undefend-
ed near the dark focus the heat on the
part surrounding the pupil was too in
tense to be endured. He, therefore,
made an aperture in the plate of the
aperture, he gradually approached the
point of conveyance of the visible rays.
First the pupil and next the retina were
placed in the focus without any sensible
damage. Immediately afterward a
sheet of platinum foil placed in the
position which the retina had oc-
cupied became red hot.

TO PRESERVE A BATTLEFIELD.
Proposal to Make a National Park al
Shiloh.

A memorial prepared by the Shiloh
Battlefield Association has been brought
to Washington by Col. EFT. Lee, secre-
tary of the association, to be placed in
the hands of a committee of Senators
and Representatives who are members OF
the association, with view to the prop
er presentation of the matter to Congress.
The object is to have the old battlefield
purchased by the government and made
a national park.
The Shiloh Battlefield Association was
organized April 10, 1893, by the surviv-
ors of that battle on the occasion of their
visit to the battlefield, where they held
anniversary exercises on the thlrty-hrst
anniversary of.the battle. 1t is composed
of soldiers both north and south who
took part in the battle.
Col. Lee, in speaking of the matter to-
day to a Star reporter, said: The old
army OF the Tennessee that fought all
over the West. marched to the sea and
through the Carolinas, have none of their
battlefields preserved, and they feel
that they are entitled to Shiloh. There
are buried over this battlefield 1000 Con-
federate dead, besides many of the Union
dead, who were never found
and were not moved to the
National cemetery there The remains
of these dead soldiers are constantly be-
ing ploughed up by parties improving
lands over the battlefield. They should
be allowed to rest in peace where they
fell"
At meeting held by the association
at indianapolis, Ind, committe
representing the House and the Senate
was appointed to carry through such
measures as would result in the purchase
of this battlefield. In the Senate Mr..
Harris of Tennessee, Mr.. Sherman of
Ohio, and Mr.. Villas of Wisconsin, and in
the House, Col. B. Henderson of Iowa
Gen. Joseph Wheeler of Alabama, and
Gen. John c. Black of Illinois, were placed
on this committee. At the request of
the Congressional committee, a COM
mittee from the Shiloh Battlefield Assoc
citation visited the battlefield and secured
options on the land, providing the gov
ernment buys the land for national
park by March 4, 1856. The memoria
urges that this battlefield be preserved
and the various positions marked where
the commands fought during the battle,
and the graves cared for.
The Society of the Army of the Ten
nessee at their meeting at Chicago in
dorsed the movement and appointed a
committee of six of their mem beers to
assist in the Washington Star. :.
