WOMEN OF THE CONFEOERACY.
Unwilling of a Monument in Their
Honor at Fort Mill, s. G,

There was recently consummated at
emprise,' worthy of all praise. We re-
fer to the unwilling ON Thursday, May
81, of the two monuments-one TO the
Women of the Confederacy, and one to
commemorate the fidelity of the slaves
Of the South during the war. The inn
preSsiye ceremonies were worthy of
the unique occasion and characteristic
of a community, patriotic to the core,
and dominated by that Carolinaized
Scoth-Lrish blood that has impaired so
much vigor to South Carolina, vying
with the pest strains of German or
English, or French.
Too much praise cannot be awarded
To the modest hero of the occasion,
Capt. Samuel Elliott White, whose in
divldual munificence erected the monu-
memts that his noble heart conceived.
Col. John p Thomas, of Columbia,
delivered the address at the unwilling
of the monument to THE Women of
the Confederacy, the living and the
dead, who, amid the gloom of war,
were heroines in the strife" Begin
ming he said;
when jefferson Davis, soldier,
statesman, patriot, martyr, composed
the Rise and Fail of the Confederate
Goyernment'-that great work which
so fifty crowned his public career and
which is dies O4ned to live forever, if for
no other cause than because of it's I'M
answered and unanswerable plea in
vfndication of the constitutional right
of secession--the solemnly dedicated the
volumes TO the womanhood of the
South. His grateful words may well
be repeated here as sounding the key
note of this occasion. He said:
TO THE WOMEN OF THE CON FED
ERACY.
Whose pious ministrations to our
wounded soldiers soothed the last
hours of those
Who died far from the objects of their
tenderest love;
Whose domestic labors
Contributed much to supply the wants
of OU defenders in the field;
Whose Jealous faith in our cause
Shone a guiding star, undimmed by
the darkest clouds of war;
Whose fortitude
Sustained them under all the priva-
tions towhich they were subjected;
Whose annual tribute
Expresses their enduring grief, love,
and reverence for our sacred dead,
and
Whose patriotism
Will teach their children
To emulate the deeds of our revolu-
tionary sires,
These pages are dedicated
by their countryman,
Jefferson Davis.
"Thus with pen dipped in the impe-
rial purple of his blood, amid the mag:
nolias of Beauvior, in the sunset of his
life, wrote the great Confederate, at
once leader and historian of the lost
cause. The Columbia Register.

out the detection of at least few of
these faint objects. The number of
really brilliant comets that can be
seen in n lifetime could, however, be
counted on the fingers.
Mars is morning star, and on the 18th
reached the position of perihelion. On
the 5th there was conjunction between
Mars and two bodies, as well as the fact
of there being so much of the moons
disk illuminated, prevents our having
a particularly beautiful tableau. Mars's
face is growing slowly larger and more
conspicuous, and before the year closes
it will be almost three times its pres
ent size. Even with this perceptible
increase we shall not be able to see
as much Of this interesting planet as
we should like and prove to our own
satisfaction what the astronomers tell
us about it's vegetation, which they
describe as a wave of deepening tint
passing successfully through the blue
green regions from south TO north. In
winter pale, the color begins in spring,
deepening through the summer, until
at last it dies out in the autumn. All
this is thought to be probably due in
directly to the water and directly to
the vegetation that water induces.
Neptune reached ON the 18th the
position Of conjunction with the sun
and went from the evening to Join
the morning stars. Neptune is a very
sociable planet this month. for, in adj
dition to the meetings with the sun,
he is in conjunction with the moon on
the 10th, with Mercury on the 14th
and goth, and with Venus on the 18th.
Mercury on the tenth joined the
morning galaxy of brilliants and passes
in about a month to his Old Sol, when
he again retraces his steps and once
more swings back to the eastward.
Venus from now on ceases to arouse
our admiration in the early morning
hours, as she is less than an hours
journey from the sun in point of ris-
ing and setting, and her beautiful face
becomes all the paler as she gets more
and more under his engulting rays.
Next month she is in superior conjunc-
ton, and after that we can begin to
search for her in the western sky.
Jupiter continues TO rule the evening
stars, but his reign is gradually draw
ing to a close, and before the summer
is over he will cross the dividing line
which separates the morning from
the evening planets, leaving fair Venus
to rule in his stead.
Uranus is an evening star and is in
the constellation of the Scorpion, the
brightest star of which is Antares.
Uranus is in conjunction with the
moon on the 22nd, which is the most
important event in the monthly an
nails, as viewed from our standpoint.
Saturn plays rather a minor part
among the evening stars for the month
of June, and he is growing smaller and
fainter, so that for the remainder Of
the year he will be of but little interest
to us.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, June IS. The specula-
ton to-day was of the normal half
holiday character. A general cover
ing movement was INDUCED in, which
was stimulated by moderate purchases
for long account, encouraged by the
more cheerful sentiment regarding
the financial outlook. The market
eased off soon after the opening on
but renewed purchases We're
made at the low level, especially IN
the granger group. The more encour-
aging crop prospects have attracted
operators to those properties and the
highest figures of the week were re-
corded for them to-day.
The general market closed strong i'll
tone, at the top level, and with gains
of a point in a number of the railway
shares.
Railway bonds were firm and higher
to-day, with the Reading issues active
and scoring gains averaging l pei
cent. The advances in other bonds
were less important. The sales were
S59s, 600.
In the week, bonds moved in sym
patty with stocks, but with less mark
ed fluctuations. The dealings footet
up S5,74S,000.

HanOVerian Etiquette.

One Of the minute points of etiquette
upon which the king of Hanover insist
ed was that he would not receive visit
ors for first presentation to him except
in uniform. Sir Joseph Grove had no
uniform, and he comments on "the fact
that a king who was utterly blind could
see (sic) unless the person he wished to
honor was in uniform. - An American
journalist was once refused an interview
with the same king of Hanover on the
same ground, but he was ultimately
more successful, for, pleading that he
was an American republican and there
fore could not do otherwise than appear
without uniform, he was received,
the king commenting himself at the be-
ginning Of the interview upon the spe-
clal ground for the exception. -Athe-

a stubborn resistance, was also captured,

Thought Reed a Timorous Speaker.

A Foxcroft man who was in the Maine
legislature in 1869 recalls perfectly how
Tom Reed looked and acted at that time.
The budding young statesman from
Portland was 30 years of age, with
face as smooth as an apple, and, as the
Foxcroft ex-member put it, "He weigh
ed over 200 pounds and looked like
great, green, overgrown boy. I" His con-
duct and bearing were much the same
then as now, and his appearance when
addressing the house, though aggressive,
with a humorous turn, was, over all,
timorous. Boston Herald.

"say So as know, and that it was aft

called the deluge, and that afterward a
dove went forth from that ark and re-
turned with an olive leaf in her beak?
Even so now there is another ark being
launched, but this one goes sailing net
over deluge of water, but deluge of
blood-the ark Of American sympathy
and that ark, landing on Ararat, from
it's window shall fly the dove of kind
ness and peace to find the olive leaf of
returning prosperity, while all the
mountains of MOslem prejudice, oppres-
sion and cruelty shall stand 1 5 cubits

gather all the dying groans of all the

preston and intone them into one pray

throne hurl back upon their launches

lions of the palaces of the sultan. Move
all the nations of Europe to command
cessation of cruelty. If need be, let the

French Prisoners Railway Carriages.

These railway carriages, of which
there are 40 in constant use, are the
property Of the government, who pay
one-haf of the price of a third class
ticket for each prisoner conveyed. The
repairs are executed in the yards of the
different railway companies at the ex
pense of the state. They merit a de-
tailed description.
Each carriage contains double row
of cells, nine on each side, separated by
q passage running lengthwise, with a
solid door on each lateral face. At one
extremity there is a desk and table
that draws out. These, as we'll as q
number of cupboards, are for the use of
the warders. The latter sleep on fold
ing bedsteads, which the passage is just
wide enough to accommodate. The cells
are 60 centimeters GA inches) wide, 60
centimeters (26 inches) deep and LIS
meters @ feet 3 inches) high. The pris
oners sit facing the door and are attach
ed by leg irons, giving certain amount
of play to the legs. Should a prisoner
misconduct himself it is possible to
shorten the chains from the passage
without opening the door of the cell.
Their creature comforts, however, are
not altogether neglected, the carriage
being lighted by windows at either end
and warmed by stove. At night it is
brilliantly lighted by special lamp.
One cell is fitted up as convenience for
the prisoners. For intellectual recrea-
ton, it must be admitted, small provi-
sion is made. The articles of the code
relating to convicts are hung up inside
the cell door, and that is all.-Fort-
