tor-General Morton, of the Grand
Camp of the Confederate Veterans OF
Virginia, who is in Washington, thinks
that the idea of monument to the
typical Confederate woman and to the
old time, faithful negro should be Kept
before the people until it IS time to
work ON il-that is, alter the compile
ton of the Davis monument. 1t takes
we'll every where, he says.
NJ. Morton says: 81 referred TO 1t In
war talk here before the Confederate
Veteran Association, not long since,
aud it was enthusiastically received.
1 also referred to it at Norfolk, alex
andria, Portsmouth, Suffolk, and Rich
mond, where it was in like manner
applauded, and support was promised
when the time comes. OF course, there
is no organization for the purpose now,
add there will not be for some time to
come. 1 have proposition from a
distinguished sculptor in New York TO
submit designs and models for each
subject. The idea is attracting atten-
ton, and should be encouraged by the
press of the South"

The only drawback to my complete
health and happiness when a child, was
fear of the devil, especially at night. He
was an ever.present reality, whom I was
told l could not see because he was
exactly behind me, and however quickly
1 might turn 1 never could catch even a
glimpse of his shadow. People who teach
children such superstitions little dream
OF the positive injury they are doing to
their mental and physical condition.
These fears were intensified in my case
under the preaching of the Rev. Charles
Fineny which in measure marred my
happiness and crippled my develop
ment, until 1 arrived at the age OF II
wears. then read Combe's "Moral
Physiology, and his "Constitution OF
Man., and discussed the broad princi'
pies laid down in those volumes with a
gentleman of liberal thought, and soon
threw off all the old theological supersti-
tons, that had SO long Swallowed my
life. | then struck the name OF Millions
giant from tie list Of my acquaintance,
and with long walks and rides on horse
back l finally recovered the normal,
physical and moral tone OF my being.
Health and happiness are impossible
where one is hedged about with undue
restraints and fears of the underlined
UNKNOWN Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

will not soon forget. He discovered a
dead whale on Damon's Point, which,
with the aid OF his partner, Joe Clam,
and 5. W. Haptonstall, he endeavored to
tow into shallow water. All worked
hard for some time against an ebb tide
and strong wind, until the danger of be-
ing carried over the bar and out to sea
became too evident, when Haptonstall
and Joe Clam returned to shore; but
Clam Joe was determined to secure the
prize If possible, and refused to leave the
whale, and was taken over the bar and
out to sea about five miles. By the cap
sizing OF his boat he was compelled to
cut loose from the whale, and make an
effort to save his life and reach shore
He succeeded in holding to the bottom
OF his boat until the tide carried him back
into the harbor, where he was picked up
by the tug Traveller, after being in the
water about ten hours. The whale was
about sixty feet long.
