On the 18th instant, while the g.
A. Il. WAS in session at Louisville,
there was special attraction for
the veterans who were not delegates
of the National encampment proper.
At Wilder Park the entire day was
devoted to the most mammoth "Old
Kentucky barbecue" that was ever
spread. Early in the morning the
street cars were overtRxed by the
multitude going to the great frolic
of the Blue and Gray, at which the
former were special guests and to
which the gates were open free to
the public. At 10 q. m. the per-
Torrance began. Over 100 blue
grass cattle, 800 lambs and 200 shotes
were barbecued in full view of all
the visitors. Fifteen kettles, hold
ing 1900 gallons of burgoo, were
made on the grounds, from which
the guests were served and the best
brands of bourbon, lager and cigars
were as plenty and as free as the
leaves on the trees in that beautiful
forest. A grand chorus Of over 800
voices, including members of all the
colored choirs and mus
ical associations, made the groves
ring rs the first temples Of peace and
JOY for all. A genuine old planta-
ton cake walk, with melodies by
colored citizens from all parts of the
South, was the leading feature of the
many entertainments that were
given in connection with the good
things to eat and drink.

WHY GOLD Is SHIPPED ABROAD.
Hon. James III. Ecklcs, Comptroller
Of the United States Treasury, made
the following statement in London
on the 18th: Generally speaking
these gold shipments come about
from the fact that the American peo-
pie are buying Il great deal abroad
and not selling sufficient of their own
produce to equaliZe things, thus ne
cessitating settlement of the bal
ance due i'm gold. We maintain a
financial syetem which makes the
United States treasury general mar.
ket Of supply for all requiring gold.
Consequently more or less embar.
rassment comes to the administra.
ton Of the Treasury Department
when these balances require to be
settled. However, the treasury has
always managed to maintain unques-
toned the payment in gold of its OBJ
legations, and always will do so, but
rs long as representative in Congress
refuse to change that system, and as
long as the voters tolerate them, the
people have no right to complain of
the expense"

Chickamauga.

The great demonstration of Union
and Confederate veterans at Chicka-
manga, Tenn, last week, it being
the occasion Of the dedication of a
number of monuments erected in
the great national park there by va
rious States, was one of the grandest
and most imposing ever seen in the
United States. The ceremonies eX-
tended over three days, end many
interesting and patriotic addresses
were delivered. Vice President
Stevenson, Senators Henderson and
Bates, Governors Mckinley and
Campbell, Secretary Herbert, Gen.
Grosvenor, Gen. Gordon, Gen. Wal
thall being among the distinguished
speakers. Mr.. Stevenson said:
81 am honOred by being called to
preside over the ceremonies Of this
day. Our eyes now behold the sub
lime spectacle of the honOred survi-
vors of the great battle coming to-
gethcr upon these heights once more.
They meet, not in deadly conflict,
but as brothers, under one flag -fel-
low citizens of Il common country.
All grateful to God that in the SUI
preme struggle, the government of
our fathers, our common heritage,
was triumphant, and that to all of
the coming generations of our c0un-
trymen il will remain IAN indivisi-
BILE union of indestructiblc States
Our dedication to-day is but cere-
mony. In the words Of the immor-
tai Lincoln at Gettysburg But in
a larger sense, VIC cannot dedicate.
We cannot COnsecrate. We cannot
hallow this ground. The brave men,
living and dead, who struggled here,
have consecrated it far above our
power to add or detract.'
Gen. Gordon concluded by saying /:
" Every cannon that shook Chicka-
mauga's hills, or Numbered around
the heights of Gettysburg; every |
whiZzing shell that tore through the |
fChancPllorSville or Shi- |
loh; every bullet-rent flag that floated |
in victory or went down in defeat on !
any field I; every patriotic sigh or
prayer waited heavenward from the |
North or the South every loving
and tender ministratiOn at dying sol
dier's side; every ag0nizing throb in
woman's heart, or burning tear on
devoted woman's all-all
were contributions to the upbuilding
of loftier American manhood for
the future defense Of American free
DOM"
From Chattanooga to Chicka-
manga, a distance Of seven miles, is
one vast, beautiful park, the prop
erty Of the government and dedi-
Gated to the memory of the brave
men who died on that famous field.
This great demonstration in honor
of the soldiers of both armies and
in by both Union and
veterans, together with
the conciliatory and patriotic senti.
ments uttered by all the speakers in
dicates that at last the war is over,
and that we have reached "A time
when the veterans Of both armies
can unite in doing honor tn the brave
men who fought on either side.
