What Is Dirt ?

Old DR.. Cooper, of South Carolina,
used to say to his students: "What
is dirt ? Don't be afraid of a little
dirt, young gentlemen. What is dirt ?
Why, nothing at all offensive, when
chemically viewed. Ruba little alkali
upon that dirty grease-spot on your
coat, and it undergoes a chemical
change and becomes soap 0 rub it
with a little water, and it disappears {;
it is neither grease, soap, water nor
dirt. That is not a very odorous pile
of dirt you observe there, well, scat
ter a little gypsum over it, and it is
no longer dirty. Everything you call
dirt is worthy your notice as students
of chemistry. Analyze it-analyze
it 1t will all separate into very clear
elements. Dirt makes corn, corn
makes bread and meat, and that makes
a very sweet young lady that I saw
one of you kissing last night. So,
after all, you were kissing dirt-par-
ticularly if she whitened her skin
with chalk or Fuller's earth. There
is no telling, young gentlemen, what
is dirt. Though I may say that rub
bling such stuff upon the beautiful
skin of a young lady ia a dirty prac-
tice. Pearl-powder. I think, is made
of bismuth-nothing but dirt"

Will people never learn, says the

beauty on t.escoed walls and now a
winding walk in howery beds, but, no
matter what it may be-, the fight at
once begins to carry it down again and
down it will 60 after awhile, and, per-
haps, this is only the wisdom of
Providence to keep things balanced
this hauling that we notice every
day. As progress introduces e
departures and tears and tumbles
things that were dear to the old
timers, I have the hope that Provi-
dence is watching and will regulate
matters all right again in some mys-
terious way, but there will be nothing
wrong for US all to go to praying and
play both late and early to be deliver
ed from. the "isms' that Kansas has
been prolific in producing and seems
to never tire in the work Of producing.
My correspondent is a pleasing
writer, but her labor is lost in these
parts. We are too far apart to ever
come to an agreement. She thinks
that old John Brown is a "saint in
heaven" I do not think so well of
John. She thinks that women every
where should be given the ballot.
Georgia women do not want the bal
lot. She thinks that women should
preach. I do not agree with this.
She thinks that Mrs. Lease has made
the ''most patriotic sacrifices" in her
journey with General Weaver and
others a few years ago. 1 think that
Mrs. Lease had better been at home
rocking a baby.
Perhaps my correspondent is right
in the statement hat Kansas has been
foremost in all the great reforms,
from John Brown to Coxey, and she
is welcome to her laurels, so far as we
are concerned. Down here we have
an old fogy notion that the Bible has
pointed the best way'to follow in the
matter of church worship and we are
so hardened on that line as to believe
that the church cannot afford to de-
pend upon sensation nor the craze of
fanaticism for it's support. In u
simplicity we are willing to take u
chances with the simple religion of
the Lord Jesus and leave new depar-
lures and sensational methods to Kan
san cranks, ingersoll and the Salvation

"a master of war, such as Lee was,
would not drive en- masse a column of
ii, 600 men across an open plain 1.3OO
or 400 yards, nearly every foot of it
under a concentrated and converging
fire of artillery, to attack an army on
fortified heights of 100 $1,000, less it's
two days losses, and give his entering
wedge no support. Lees object was
to cut the Federal army at the left
centre and then destroy the right and
left wings. He simply gave the order
to those who should carry it out. He
did not care whether Pickett led or
Hood or McLaws. These were matters
of detail for the officer intrusted with
the execution. Longstreet was disap-
pointed when he received the order to
make this attack, and wanted to move
to the Federal left, but Lee knew that
his relations with Meade had been too
intimate during the last two days and
the relative hosts to a close for such
tactical folly.

FITZHUGH LEE ON JACKSON.
Tbs Cavalry Leader Discusses the Story
of Gettysburg.
PHILADELPHIA Press.

GETTYSBURG, February 29.-"Over
the splendid scene Of human courage
and human sacrifice at Gettysburg
there arises in the South an appari-
ton, like Banquo' ghost at Macbeth's
banquet, which says that the battle
was lost because some one b%lundered.'
The discussion over the responsibility
for the defeat began several years
after the war between General James
Longstreet or the one hand and other
commanders and staff officers Of Gen.
Robert E. Lee on the other, a discus
sion which became prominent not un-
til after the death of the great South
ern chieftain. In the endeavor to
prove himself blameless Longstreet
attacked the conduct of Lee at Gettys-
burg, blamed him solely for the dis
aster and held that his (Longstreet's)
name had been assaulted because of
his going over to the Republican
party.
Last year this question, which had
almost dropped from public notice,
was again brought forward by the
publication Of Longstreet's "From
Manassas to Appnmattox,' a book
which ampli6ed all the charges which
the author has previously made against
Lees Gettysburg campaign. and held
that the commander confessed that he
had blundered and that he should
have followed the plan for the battle
proposed by General Longstreet, who
commanded the LIST Confederate army
corps.
No soldier of the late war now liv-
ing is SO competent to discuss these
sensational charges as General Fitz-
hugh Lee, of. Virginia, the nephew of
the commander-in-chie and leader Of
one of Stuart's cavalry brigades at
Gettysburg, a West Pointer and close
student of military science, a careful
and reliable Investigator, who relies
for his information regarding Gettys-
bury only upon the official records of
the Confederate army, the letters of
General Lee, and the testimony Of the
commander staff officers.
Fitzhugh Lee came to Gettysburg
yesterday morning and spent the day
upon the battlefield with Major Gen
eral O. O. Howard, who commanded
the 18th corps of the Army of the
Potomac in the struggle. General
Lee remained In the town over night
with Commodore Virginius Newton,
of Richmond, and this morning again
visited the field for three hours.
