Gen. Gordon,s Address.

When Gen. Gordon came forward he was greeted with tremendous cheer ing The band was playing Dixie, but it was only heard occasionally, so deep was the volume of cheers. Flags were raised in various parts of the hall bearing upon their folds the names of some of the bloodiest fields npon which southern valor fought and died When one of these old banners was raised into view and its folds shaken out it brought forth cheers and huzZas that shook the building. Gov. Culberson eloquently welcomed the veterans to Houston and to Texas. Mayor Browne then formally welcomed the veterans, and was followed by Gen. Gordon, who said in substance:
 GOVERNOR, MR. MAYOR, COMRADES AND FELLOW -GoUNTRYMBE: It Is my official duty and high privilege to respond in behalf of my comrades to this gracious welcome and tender Of muniicent hospitality by the city of Hous- ton and state of Texas When l have said that they are characteristic Of th1s city and state my language Is capable of no stronger express sion.

Not the Same Lee.

General Fitzhugh Lee is not one of
the kind who would spoil good story
simply because the joke happened to
be on himself. His recent visit to
Louisville recalls an anecdote which
furnishes a good illustration of the con-
federate soldiers esteem for General
Robert E. Lee. AS is well known,
General Fitzhugh Lee was at the head
of the cavalry, and these were much
envied by the infantrymen, who had to
walk through the mud and dust.
After General Robert E. Lee had sur
rendered, General Fitzhugh Lee rode
away from AppomattoX. While rid
ing through lane he met an old North
Carolina soldier. Ho, there!" cried
General Lee, "where are you going?"
I've been off on a furlough, and am
now going back to join General Bob
Lee" replied the old soldier. "You
needn't go back but can throw your
gun away and return home, for Lees
surrendered" "Lee's surrendered?"
THAT'S what | said," said General
Lee. at must have been Fitz Lee,
then. Bob Lee would never surren-
der" and the soldier put on look OF
contempt and walked on.-Courier-

Graves of 100000 Soldiers.

There are eighty-three national GEM
eteries in all, containing 330,700 hon
ored dead, and upon them the govern
ment has expended up to the present
time the sum of 100000 All of
them are handsomely laid out and main
tanned in superb condition. Most of
them were established on battle-felds
of the war, and are situated on hillsides
or on uneven ground, where the best
landscape effects are produced. In all
of them the graves are arranged in
mathematical rows, circular or rectan-
gular. Every individual grave is marked
by stone tablet of granite or marble,
and on Memorial Day every one of
them was decked anew with its little
flag and wreath. The mounds are
smoothly sodded and kept trim and
neat. The grassy lawns between are
carefully cut, the walks and paths are
rolled and graveled, and shade-trees,
with here and there rustic seat be-
tween them, besides flowers and orna-
mental shrubbery, are planted through
out the grounds. The Enclosures, as a
rule, are walled in with granite or other
enduring masonry.-Troy Times.

Foreign.

SIXTY men were killed and three seriously
wounded by an explosion of powder in a
factory at Avigiano, Italy last Thursday.
The explosion was caused by the careless
ness of the victims.
THE town of Tottenham, Ontario, was al.
most literally DESTROYED by fire last week
Wednesday night. Eighty dwellings and
places of business were burned and bust
ness was Frustrated. The loss is estimated
at $150000.
GENERAL NAVARRO reports that the troops
under his command in Cuba have had an
engagement with a rebel band under Gar
ION at Santa Rosa, and captured their camp
with a quantity of arms, etc. Many of the
rebels we're killed. The government loss
was three seriously wounded. Colonel
Michelenas column has routed Rab's
band at Mogote. Four persons and guam
tity of arms were captured by the Span
iards. The government force lost one
killed and one wounded.
In the fighting which occurred at Alba
crocia, Cuba, only a small detachment of
Spanish troops were engaged. On the other
hand, 600 rebels, mounted and on foot,
poured a hot fire into the ranks of the Span
ish troops, who, being so greatly outnum-
bered, were ordered to make their escape
from the town. Accordingly the supply of
ammunition was distributed among the
men, the stores, etc, which could not be
removed, were destroyed, and the troops
dashed out, taking the rebels by surprise,
and succeeded in getting out of danger.

AN ASTOUNDING BUsINEss.-So large is
the demand for Moxie, after eight years
there is not room enough in the new twelve
acre union station in Boston to make it, il
it should be used as a factory. There are
now twenty factories in the United States,
all in charge of the Lowell office. The COM
pany had over thirty bushels of testimonials
sent to them voluntarily last year. Scores
of helpless people from malnutrition of the
brain and nerves many people who be-
came insane from overwork thousands Of
cases of nervous exhaustion, and as many
of weakly conyalescents, were recovered
after medicine had failed. Thousands of
people write from all over the United States
to congratulate the company, and state that
while. using it they can do double the work
they oroht to and not break down. What
are its possibilities in the future II eight
years will win it's present conditions? There
is no surprise that the stock Of the company
is not for sale There are two reasons for
its popularity, /. O., its harmless, luscious,
useful character, and its value compared
with the price-sixteen cents per bottle if
bought by the case of twelve bottles and the
empties are returned. Signature of A.

The Confederate Battleflag,

Speaking of General Johnston, am
reminded of the explanation he once
gave me of the origin of the Confeder-
ate battl, flag: AT the battle of Bull
Rum" said he, the stars and bars
proved failure because they were so
much like the Union colors. Indeed,
both armies mistook their enemies for
friends, and vice versa. After the bat
tie resolved to discard this flag, and
called for each regiment to procure it's
state colors. This they were not able
to do, and l asked the army for new
designs. Among those presented one
by General Beauregard was chosen,
and altered this only in making it
square instead of oblong. This flag
was afterward adopted by the Confed-
crate armies generally. 1t was Greek
cross of blue on red field, with white
stars on the blue bars" This flag, by
the way, was designed by Colonel
Walton of Louisiana, and by him pre-
sented to General Beauregard.- Kate
