Grand Army MeetinRs South.

In 1.-THE Blue and Gray for April Major
William Howard Mills has an article en-
titled fredericksburg and the Army of
the Potomac" which among other illus
trations contains portrait OF our venera-
BILE friend, Mayor A. p. Rowe, Of Frede-
ricksburg.
Through the active exertions OF Mayor
Rowe, ably seconded by resolutions of
the City Council, 1t is quite likely that the
annual meeting OF the Society OF the Poto-
mac will be held at Fredericksburg next
year.
Major Mills's article deals chiefly with
this subject and he is a strong advocate
OF Fredericksburg claims and as he is
yice-presldent of the society we should
think that his voice would carry great
weight.
Not only is Fredericksburg asking for
the meeting Of the Society of the Army
OF the POTOMAC there next year. but Rich
mond and Atlanta are rivals In asking to
become the meeting place for the Grand
Army OF the Republic. The Atlanta peo-
pie have gone TO work in the matter with
their characteristic dash and are setting
forth the attractions of that city with
exceeding cloquence.
We doubt whether either Richmond or
Atlanta could accommodate such a host.
Indeed. we know that neither could, with
out erecting extensive temporary bar.
racks which would be proof against wind
and rain. But what II is In the power OF
Atlanta to do. II is In the power OF Rich
mond to do--to say the least. Our lex.
position buildings might be brought into
use for barrack purposes. and on the Ex-
position Grounds and In neighboring fields
there is plenty~bf room for other barracks.
In this way we could lodge and feed many
thousands OF men who could not hope
to find rooms In our hotels and boarding.
houses.
To our certain knowledge there are
thousands OF Union veterans who very
much wish to visit or revisit Richmond
and Petersburg, and who would welcome
an invitation to meet here. That invita-.
ton will be extended In a becoming man.
ner, but II will be unavailing unless ac-
conpanied with evidence Of Richmond's
ability TO provide-comfortably provide
for the housing Of all the q. A. II. host.

Senator Daniel.

The Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution, in COM
mcnting upon his letter to the Stanton
Post, says the Hon. John W. Daniel IS
zone of the ablest and most eloquent
advocates Of the rights Of the people in
the American Senate"
Not only is he able and eloquent, but
he is absolutely Independent. He Is cou-
rageous in making up his mind az 10 any
proposed measure Of legislation. He
takes his position and leaves it 70 his
constituents to come and stand by
him. The Senator's extraordinary popu-
larity is not due to demagogic tricks,
but to the unlimited confidence which
they feel in the man.
We say this just now because Of what
the Atlanta paper says OF his course on
the silver bill, which course has been
dictated by what he has regarded as his
duty.

In the April number Of the Century,
Mr. John G.. Nicolay writes Of "Lincoln's
Literary Experiments and quotes
poem written by the President in his
young manhood. In letter inclosing the
poem TO a friend, Lincoln explains that
the verses were written III lSii, when he
visited the neighborhood in which he
was raised, on a stumping tour.
Here are the opening stanzas:
My chldhoods home ! see again,
And saddel with the view;
And still, as memory crowds my brain,
There's pleasure in it too.
o Memory! thou midway world
'Twixt earth and paradise.
Where things decayed and loved ones lost
in dreamy shadows rise,
And, freed from all that's earthly vile,
Seem hallowed, pure. and bright,
Like scenes in some enchanted isle
All bathed in liquid light.

In their invitation to the q. A. II. they

precisely what plan We would probably

Fire-bells have not sounded in Chicago

rest Of the men being called from their

When we get able TO keep a full force

cease to ring the bells. Blu; that innosa-
ton will not be POPULAR with Richmond

The Danville Evening Star announces
that It is now one year old, and that 1t
has prospered we'll through its brief but
eventful life. We should say that paper
which came into existence during times
such as we have had for the past twelve
months and has managed to make buckle
and tongue meet, Is destined to long life.
The Star shines for all the world. but
particularly Danville, whose attractions
IL shows forth most gloriously. The Star
has our best wishes, and we really hope
that we may be present when it cele-
brates its centenary.

ings here on Monday night, and accom-
panied by Mr.. J. 4. Ramsey, his singer,
left for home yesterday TO take adyan-
tage of a few days rest before beginning

The hard freeze of yesterday morning
and the frost of this morning have played
sad havoc with the fruit prospects
throughout this section. Yesterday your

have also been greatly damaged.
AMUSED.
The people here in Colonel Henry Skin
ner's home are very much amused at his
Boosting in Washington Of the Populistic
strength In North Carolina, as published
in yesterdays dispatch from your Wash
ingtOn correspondent. Had the Colonel
been at home last Saturday and seen
what was transpiring in his own county
he would have been less visionary. and
would not have laid claim to so much OF
the earth. Some weeks ago call was
issued over the ColonePs own name, as
chairman, for precinct meetings TO be
held all over the county on the Hth for
the purpose Of electing township execu-
tive committees and select delegates TO Il
county convention to be held here on the
3lst. In his home township, a territory
radiating six miles around Greensville.
the number of Populsts who made their
appearance at the meeting was just twen-
ty-seven, all told. In another large town.
ship only six were at the meeting. and in
still another township the number was
so Insignificant that even Democrats were
surprised thereat. Colonel Skinner is a
capital hand at seeing and counting
chickens before they are hatched," but
the incubator usually blasts his hopes.
North Carolina is all right.
