Charleston, S. c., April "a.
Gen. j. d. Kennedy, lately deceased, was
born in Camden, s. &. His father, A. N Ken
nedy, was native Of Scotland. He came TO
America in his early manhood, and estab.
lished himself in Camden, where ne resldeo
during his long life, esteemed by all VINO
knew him, as q man of pre-eminent worth.
General Kennedy was reared in pious home,
under the influence of sturdy Scottish princl-
pies. His early education was had In tne
schoolt of his native town, whence ne went
TO the South Carolina college, where he nm
ished his course in 1858. He chose the law Tor
his profession, but had scarcely entered upon
practice when he responded with patrlotic
ardor to the call to arms. He was memoer
of the war, his merit raising him from one
position TO another, until he got his commits
sion as brigadier general. Ihe nrSt IN cou-
mand OF the brigade was General Bonnam,
and a veteran Of the Mexican war. In his
hands the unframed troops gave augury oy
brilliant achievements OF what the orlgade
was to be in the long and fierce struggle
which ensued. ,,
General Kershaw, the knightly soldier, the
distinguished jurist and lovaole 1riend, sue
ceeded General Bonham. He was longer at
its head than any other, and It's reputation
under his gallant leadership with lts crown
ing glory at the Wilderness, gave him his
commission major general. General
James Conner, one OF Gods noblemen, tne
In command. He added new lustre TO It's
already enviable fame. When General Con-
nor became so MANNED as TO be no longer able
to lead US, General Kennedy, the subject OF
this tribute, was placed at the head OF the
brigade A glorious record he had TO MAIN
He was equal to all requirements and won
new victories with which TO blaZen our oan-
ners.
ASS citizen he was solicitous Tor the welfare
of this commonwealth, as friend he was
cordial and sincere, and as government om-
cal he SO discharged every imposed duty so
as TO com mand the respect and commenda-
ton OF his country. Pity II Is, alas! that
though bis years and his manly vigor gave
promise OF much longer life he has been
called to Join nis illustrious predecessors VIII
went to the grave before him. They are all
gone!

Many persons have wondered why
the Red Sea should be so called. The
name was originally applied to it be-
cause portions of it are covered with
patches, from few yards to- several
miles square, composed of microscopic
vegetable animalculed, which dye the
waters q blood-red. When not affected
by these organisms, the Red Sea is in
tensely blue, the shoal waters showing
shades of green.

London July 1.-THE proceedings OF the
democratic national convention in Chi
cago have excited much interest in po-
litical and financial circles here. The con-
sensus of opinion among leading weekly

There will be a long period Of unrest and

shown by the silver men will be heavy

CRISP CHEERFUL.
Bryan's Nomination PIeases the ex-
Speaker Greatly.

Asheville, N. c., July lit Is doubt
full if there is a man who is more pleased
with the democratic nomination for the
presidency or believes more strongly that
the convention was judicious in naming
William ]. Bryan as democracy's stand
ard-bearer than Is Hon. Charles F. Crisp
of Georgia, now here.
"The nominee he said, "is man of
great ability, earnestness and force of
character. During his first term in con-
gress, the Fifty-second session, APP
pointed him on the ways and means COM
mittee, notwithstanding it is unusual to
appoint a new member on that committee.
He had however, been an earnest advo-
cate of tariff reform and came from the
right section of the country. 1t was soon
proven that no mistake had been made
in putting him upon that important com
mittee. for in that session he made a
speech on the subject of tariff reform
which gave him a national reputation"
Mr.. Crisp added that Mr.. Bryan was
brilliant representative of young democ-
racy, and he was very hopeful of his cleo
ton. Mr.. Crisp felt sure that if elected
his administration would be in every way
