WHAT ROT.

w. F. Solomon, of Macon, Ga, the
"Last of the Louisiana Tigers" con.
tinues his wild romancing. A recent
outbreak was occasioned by the appear.
ance i'll Georgia, as a lecturer, of a
woman named Mrs. John II. High, who
claims to be the only true and original
Belle Boyd. She seems to have shrewd
advance agent, and he worked " the
reminiscent Solomon for over half a
column of splendid free advertising,
which the Georgia papers are generally
copying. This is q specimen of the way
the gushing Solomon effervesced:
"Why, do you know, the words Belle
Boyd make a Southern mans blood Jingle
she was the grandest, bravest, truest little
woman / ever saw.
"Oh, yes; | knew her. and / knew her
well. If Mrs. High will come to Macon, the
old Confederate vets will 90 to hear her, and
you can bet there will he number Of them
who can tell her whether or hot she's the
little spy that Jackson traded over thousand
men for when she was once captured"
The idea Of Stonewall jackson trad
ing 1000 prisoners for a woman of
Belle Boyd's grade shows that Solomon
has a perfect genius for daring fiction.
Again:
''Shes an old woman now, but I'd never
forget the little woman who came tripping
across the country to the Rapidan one day,
and waved the signal that the Yankees were
coming upon us from down the river. / sent
the signal into Headquarters, and Jackson
was protected from what would have been a
disastrous surprise.
This is pretty tough on Jackson's
pickets, scouts, and cavalry, who kept
him in ignorance of the Yankee army
being SO near. But let them settle that
among themselves.
There is more of the same sort, but
this is enough. Dime novels will have
a small sale in Georgia SO long as Solo
mon is alive and where the reporters can
get at him.

DEATH OF GEN. PARKER.

Another striking figure of the war has
passed away. Gen. Ely Samuel Parker
died suddenly at Fairview, Conn, on the
night of Aug. 80, at the age of 70. He
was full-blooded Seneca Indian, born
on the Towanda Reservation, in New
York, and was Chief of the Senecas and
King of the Six Nations. His Indian
name was Done Ho-Ga-Wa, which
meant Keeper of the Western Gate"
He was educated at Elliotsyille n. Y,
and graduated as a civil engineer.
Later he decided to study law, and was
admitted to the bar. But his interest in
the welfare of his people led him to de-
vote himself to them, and he spent much
of his time before the outbreak of the
war in labors in behalf of the Indians.
He was ardently loyal, and applied
to the President for an appointment
where he could be of service to the
country. President Lincoln gave hin a
commission as a Captain and Abide
Camp, and he was assigned to the
staff of Gen. Grant, and joined his
future chief before Vicksburg. His
gallantry, fidelity, and intelligence
commended him strongly to Gen
Grant, who retained him with him
throughout the war, had him promoted
TO Brigadier- and made him
his Private Secretary. He conducted
the correspondence at Appomattox.
After the war Gen. Grant appoined
him Commissioner of Indian Affairs
which position he held until 1871. !,
Gen. Parker married Miss Minnie
Sackett, of Washington, in 1867, and
Gen. Grant gave the bride away.
He was an ardent Republican, and
an eloquent stump speaker. He wa,
a member of Emo Post, GAR, o.
New York City; Of the Loyal Legion
and Scottish Rite Mason.

LINCoLN's BIRTHPLACE.

Mr.. A. w. Dennert, who owns the
farm in La Rue Co., KY, upon which
Abraham Lincoln was born, has given
orders to have the old cabin in which
the great President first saw the light
reconstructed out of its original logs.
The cabin was torn down some years
ago, and the logs, which are yet sound,
used to build another house, about half
annie away.
The old cabin will now be restored
to as near as possible the exact con-
Gition it was when the home of Thomas
Lincoln and his wife, Nancy Hanks, and
the work will be done in time for the
reception of visitors from the National
Encampment. There will be pavilion
erected also for the accommodation of
visitors, and the spring at which little
Abe used to drink and play will receive
special care.

THE island of Trinidade, which Great
Britain recently seized, without word
of apology to its owner, Brazil, was for
considerable time the base of opera
tions of the rebel pirate Georgia. She
stored her coal and other supplies there,
took her prizes there for stripping, de-
posted what her commander wanted for
future use, and burned the hapless YES
sells in the harbor. After she had made
use of the island for these purposes as
long as she desired, she sailed for the
British port of Cape Town, and from
there went to Liverpool If Trinidade
was British possession the Georgia was
guilty of the grossest breach of neutral
ity, and the British Government should
have called her commander to q severe
account when he put into Cape Town or
Liverpool. 1t did nothing of the kind !;
but English officials feted, wined and
dined the Captain and his officers for
doing such splendid work in destroying
the American carrying trade for the
benefit of English ship owners. If
Trinidade were then British territory,
allowing the Georgia to use it as she
did, which was with the full knowledge
of British war vessels cruising in the
neighborhood, was an act of war against
this country. If the island belonged to
Brazil, then our settlement was with
that country. If, as the rebels claimed
at the time, it belonged to no one, then it
became rebel territory by the Georgia's
seizure of it, and reverted to us with the
other effects of the late so-called South
ern Confederacy.

COL. wARING AGAIN.

At least Col. Waring seems to learn
more the longer he lives, which is more
than can be said of some people. He
has learned that he made quite mis-
take in summarily dismissing Comrade
Corsa, and he remembers enough of bis
early military training to recall that
when an officer gave a wrong order he
remedied it by the command GAS you
were" So last Thursday he sent the
following note to Comrade Corsa:
III. c. CoRsA.
SIR: | hereby restore you to your position
rs District Superintendent. You will report
to the Superintendent at this Office on the I'D
inst.
GEO. E. WARING, jr., Commissioner.
But Corsa did not propose to have it
60 that way. Acting under advice OF
his counsel he did not report for duty.
He had already begun mandamus pro-
ceedings to compel Waring to restore
him to his position.
The hearing of the application for
mandamus, which is set for to-day, will
compel Waring to give his charges, if he
has any, and if the mandamus is granted
the charges will be disposed of forever,
and Waring will have to pay the costs.

THERE is no end to the schemes of
the soldier-haters. The New York City
Excise Commission has found a way to
get around the strict mandate Of the law
giving preference to veterans ON the
eligible list. 1t has some places the
term of which is for three months. 1t
has decided to fill these up with all the
veterans on the list, who will be dis
discharged at the end of three months,
while the permanent places will be filled
by non-veterans. This is how the Gun
dying gratitude of the country toward
its gallant soldiers, sailors and marines"
is practically illustrated.

Monday, Labor Day, was celebrated through

larger cities parade formed the principal part
of the celebration. Not over 1000 men took
part in the Philadelphia parade. No red
flags were displayed, as this had been strictly
forbidden by the police In New York no
general parades was held, but each organization
mapped out for itself parade outing.
Anarchists went to Staten Island to hear john
Most and Claus Zimmerman. Over 6, 900 people
were in line at Boston. There was q split
in the Columbus. o. parade, and two separate
lines formed. Two psrades were also formed in
Chicago. No attempt was made to carry the
red flag. Buffalo, Indianapolis, Baltimore, and
other cities held Labor Day celebrations

THE LIBERTY BELL WILL GO.

The managers of the Atlanta Exposition
wanted the old Liberty Bell, of Philadelphia.
to add to their attractions. There was fash
of sympathy with their request, for it showed
patriotic feeling. and the sight of the grand old
relic could not help awakening the loyal i'm
pulses of many who needed such an Indictment.
But some PhiIadelphians who object tothe bell
being carted around the country, and exposed
to the vicissitudes ofrailroad journeys. applied
for an injunction against the removal. Last
week the Judge refused the injunction, de-
Gliding that the sending of the bell was for a
good and patriotic purpose, and entirely within
tho discretion Of the authorities of the city Of
Philadelphia, who hold the relic in trust. not
only for the people of the city. but also for
those of the whole United States.
