- In a certain family which was in
rather poor circumstances, the arri-
val of wealthy aunt was expected.
The aforesaid aunt, by some accident
or other, had lost a portion Of her
nose. The children were reminded
frequently not to make any reference
whatever to the defective nasal organ.
The wealthy aunt arrived but she had
scarcely taken off her bonnet when
the littlcst kid of the flock exclaimed ::
"Papa, you told us not to say any
thing about aunt's nose. Why, she
hasn't got any nose at all. /"

he gave to Geo. W. Baker, promi-

same complaint. When troubled

1876 stained glass, the cost of each one
of which is almost fortune. The
visitor can place himself in the Church
so that he sees nothing but innumera-
BILE columns and immense stained
glass windows, no part of the wall be-
ing visible. Nothing compares in
beauty with these Gothic Churches.
When the perfection Of this archi-
lecture is made the standard, st.
Pauls at London is gross, the Pan
theon at Paris vulgar.
The great Church architects are no
more. No age before or since has
seen geniuses like these builders.
Their inspiration, born Of their time,
died with them. Victor Hugo ex-
plains this by saying that the print
ing press has killed the Cathedral /;
that we print stories in books now,
and not in stone. When We look at
Saint Owen, we are almost sorry it is
so. We wish there were more like it.
AS we stand spell-bound before the
works Of these masters, looking upon
this most beautiful page of history
handed down to US, we can well ad-
mire that faith that has taught to
erect such monument.
The light steals through the stained
glass many-colored, falling upon pave
ment, tomb and altar. One stands
in this "dim> religious light" gazing
down the long vistas formed by inter-
minable columns, and is carried back
FIVE centuries. From some distant
chapel rises the chorus of children at
their morning service. AS their juve-
vile notes reverberate from high vault,
among massive columns and around
ancient tombs, and come to fall upon
the ear Of the enraptured visitor, he
is recalled from the shades of the past
to present reality. Then he thinks
there is but short step back through
those five centuries. The spirits Of
their ancestors are chanting in those
children. The music Of the present
is from notes written in the past.
Longer would I linger in this old
town, the gem Of Normandy, rove
over it's green fields and fower-covered
slopes. Longer would wander
through these old streets full of his
tory, but I must bid its beauties and
interest adieu

lose any present benefits by such en-
couragement. W., have watched two
little girls who had "patches of their
own this year, and they have not lost
a moment to their mother on this
account. On the contrary, they have
more than gained the time by swifter
work and have been happy all the year
in anticipation af their harvest.
But there will always be sorry peo-
pie, discontented people and poor peo-
pie, but to improve upon present con-
ditions, believe an easy matter so
far as the children are concerned.
''The old man" is the hardest thing
to manage in the matter. [ have
always been a defender Of the cold
man" of families and Iwould not have
him lose an iota of his prestige, but I
do think the majority of them are too
tenacious in holding on till death. 1t
is so nice to see your children and
grandchildren settled about on the old
farm. A few might be ungrateful and
brutes enough to forget their duties
and lose their affection for the old
people, but not many, and the greatest
good to the greatest number is what
should be sought for. There are
mighty few fathers but what are will
ing and glad to do whatever will bene-
fit his children. The most old men
are just living for their children, and
they honestly believe it would be bad
business to divide up the farms.
Some think that by keeping the wealth
concentrated in one that the father
holds prestige for helping his chill
dren that they could not secure we're
it divided. And some old men>hon-
estly believe thas family would
starve on a twenty-acre farm. The
truth is-and it is what we all have
got to learn in this Southern country
that twenty acres is about as much
as any one man needs, and the most
of us would do better on ten acres.
These big farms must go, and instead
of bowling for immigrants, the young
people must be settled and the poor
of the towns must be given such terms,
till not Southern white man can be
found but what is resting in peace
under his own vine and fig tree. Work
to induce the people already here to
be contented, is what Brown says is
much better than laying awake study
ing on schemes for immigration.

Progress OF Dental Surgery.

The old and often deceived cogno-
men of "tooth carpenter" as applied
to the dentist, will certainly not hold
in the present advanced stage Of dem
tai science. The old dread that would
suffer agonies rather than submit the
aching molar to the. rusty foceps and
strong arm of the ''tooth carpenter"
has given way to the knowledge that
dental practice is not to destroy, but
to preserve. The old clinics forceps,
turn-screws, chisels and hammer, are
back numbers, and the fearful torture
of having tooth-illed is a memory.
Dentistry has advanced to a profess
sion. II is surgery. It is science.
1t is artistic. The "up-to.date" den
tai surgeon has nearly one thousand
operating instruments. His skill and
his experience in anasthesia enables
him to perform the most difficult op-
erations with but little, if any pain !;
and. nowadays, the patient instead Of
hesitating in terror at the dentists
door, takes his seat in the dental
chair with as much equanimity as he
would in an opera box. This dental
chair is wonderful piece of ingenuity
operated by electricity, finished with
ball bearings and socket joints; it is
nicely adjusted to every motion of the
operator, and in every position, is the
perfection of comfort to the patient.
Owing to advanced dentistry being
"an art preservative,' the proportion
Of people with artificial or "false"
teeth, is steadily diminishing. Crown
ing teeth only requires the root to re-
main, and the attached tooth is so
perfectly fitted, that even the owner
cannot distinguish from it's neighbors,
either by sight or feeling. The most
pleasing work of the dentist is to i'm
prove nature. Understanding the
anatomy and contour of the mouth
and jaws as thoroughly as the occulist
does the eye, he removes interfering
teeth, he lines them up, he clips off
here, he fills in there, and he brings
up the defective mouth to the most
fashionable standard and if my la
dy's cheeks or lips are shrunken, he
will insert invisible plumbers, which,
without pain or even inconvenience,
make her thing of beauty and joy
forever. The artificial teeth Of Amer.
lea are concededly the best and finest
made; even to manufacturing the
"black &eeth" for the wives and wild
ows of Japan, American dentists are
considered the most expert in the
world, and in almost every foreign
city where an American dentist is To-
Gated he takes the foremost rank and
has the most lucrative practice.

Lieut.. Gen. John B. Gordon

Editor Chronicle In further sup
port to my position, and in con6rma-
tion of the statement that Hon. John
B. Gordon was, before the close Of
the war, complimented with appoint
ment as Lieutenant, General, G. S. A., {,
I beg to call attention to what the dis
tinguished chieftain himself says on
the subject. In letter to the under
signed, of date July 26th, Senator
Gordon observes
"In the confusion incident to the
great battles around Petersburg and
the final fall of that city and Rich
mond, my commission as lieutenant
general was never received, although
notified Of my promotion by General
John G. Breckenridge, then Secretary
of War. received this notification
about the middle of February, 1865,
although | had been in command Of a
corps some months previous. The
delay in sending the commission was
not unusual at that time, for the
whole thought of the President, Con-
gress and the Secretary of War and
the General in Chief, was concentrated
on the trying events occurring in rapid
succession. A number of other COM
missions of officers were never receiv-
ed; notably that Of General Matt
Ransom to the rank Of Major General,
and others. General Lee, however,
acted upon the appointments as though
the commissions had been received, as
he had previously done upon my pro-
motion to Major General, and placed
me finally in command of one wing ct
the army. Although the rank of
Lieutenant General was undoubtedly
conferred upon me by President Davis,
as was notified by the Secretary of
War, yet at the surrender signed my
name only as Major General, because
in official acts / felt compelled to fall
back to the rank on which [ held
commission at the time. You are
entirely correct, however, in the state
ment that was appointed Lieutenant
General and held that rank from the
date of the notice given me by the
Secretary of War.
It thus appears that the rank and
title which l assigned to the Comman-
der-in Chief CT the United Confederate
Veterans, and Georgia's senior repre-
sentative in the upper house Of Con-
gress, was not misapplied, and that,
Lieutenant General, G. S. A. is, par
eminence, the proper designation for
the oldier-statesman, the Honorable
John B. Gordon.

officers in conversation. and after chat
ting for half an hour suddenly ordered
both men to throw up their hands.
He disarmed them and took their hor-
ses when the blacksmith had finished
with them. The officers were then
commanded to about face and get a
hump on themselves for camp. The
officers horses and side arms were
then piloted across the country to Jol-
ley s farm.
Some time after this occurrence a
company of men was sent to Jolley s
home to take him dead or alive. After
reaching the house and surrounding it
a detail of twenty men were sent in.
They were met at the door by Jolley's 8
maiden sister, a stout, well built and
healthy woman Of about thirty-fve
summers. She told the officers in
charge of the men that her brother
was not at home, but if they insisted
upon it she would let them search the
house. The men filed into the house
and searched every place from cellar
to garrett, and as they came struggling
back TO the front door after their
fruitless search Miss Jolley assisted
each one out, officers and all, with a
we'll planted kick that would have re-
Aected credit on a trick mule in a
circus. The men all took their medi-
cine without murmur, except one
little fve-foot corporal, who was al.
most rendered hors du combat, and
had to be carried back to quarters.
Well, Jolley stayed around there for
two years and never was taken. lie
made two crops and marketed them,
and came and went with impunity.
Things got so hot for him at last,
though, till he decided to give up
bushwhacking and go to Texas. He
converted all his property into cash J.,
saddled up cold Ironsides," and rode
him all the way to the Lone Star State,
bought ranch, got married and set
tied down to lead a quiet life the re-
mainder of his days. But the fates
had decreed that Jolley was not long
to enjoy his contemplated quietude,
for in fording stream after heavy
downpour Of rain, he and his faithful
"Old Ironsides" we're drowned to-
gether.
Here to poor Nance Jolley. Let
us hone that before he went to his
eternal rest that he made peace with
his God. We will drink to his mem
ory in silence. W. B. CoRREL.
