A BATTLE ABBEY.

Southerners to Erect q Museum at the
National Capital.
At meeting of Confederate veterans
in Washington the other evening steps
were taken toward securing the location
Of the Confederate Battle abbey at the
national capital.
The proposed battle abbey will be on
colossal scale and will in all probable
ity involve an expenditure of $3.50, 900
or more. 1t is the wish of the Confed
crate Veterans association to secure its
location in Washington, not only as O
southern memorial building, but as ono
of national importance and an especially
attractive and ornamental feature of the
city. The work of promoting the en-
deavor will be ably assisted by the La.
dies Southern Relief society.
Steps are being taken to organize
committee of so, embracing members Of
the two associations and number Of
prominent men and women outside Of
the associations. A committee, composed
of one member from each state and one
from the District Of Columbia, was ap-
pointed at the last grand encampment
Of the United Veterans to decide upon
the location of the memorial building.
and this committee will do SO at the
coming annual encampment, to be held
in Richmond in June next.
The committee of promotion in Wash
ington, to be formed through the move
ment inaugurated at the recent meeting,
will solicit subscriptions. to be devoted
toward the erection of the building ii
located in Washington. The general
fund, collected through the southern
camps, amounts already. it is said, to
over $500, 900. st. Louis Globe-Demo-

TIRED OF ESSAYS.

vasssr Girls Ask For . Change Of Pro-
gramme at Commencement.
The senior class of Vassar college has
petitioned the college faculty to substi-
tute for the usual commencement exer-
cises an address by some we'll known
educator. The exercises have consisted
heretofore Of the reading Of essays by
six or eight graduates chosen from the
honor list, short address by the presi-
dent of the college and the comforting Of
the degrees.
The students maintain that the read
ing of essays by the members of the
graduating class is uninteresting and Of
no educational value. The essays rarely
show any originality. They are little
more than the result of careful reading.
They are seldom Of interest to any ex.
cept the friends Of the graduate.
The students ask that q lecture on
some subject Of educational interest be
given by member Of the college faculty
or board of trustees Or by somebody else
Of equal qualifications. They say that
the commencement exercises would gain
in interest and in direct educational val

Observation-Disclosures.
1T Is TIME TO REMEMBER YOUR SINS:
Syndicate" Wilson's congregation
exceeded the capacity of the room at his
command. Sunday had been set aside as
"old soldiers day."
Before sunrise the people were CON-
ing over the hills to the great gather
ing. The Methodists at Albany chartered
train, but members Of all the other
denominations went on it. So did the
band. The pastor Of the Methodist
church here, the Rev. J. Atkinson, a
fine speaker, rode horseback with Syn
dictate" Wilson and met the Albany ex.
cursion.
Two thousand Of Glouster's popula-
Al
hundred from the villages Of Sunday
Creek valley, filed the streets. There
were "halleluiahs" and shouts of hap
piness, and after the churches were
filled the evangelists talked to vast
crowd in the public square.
At noon the band led the procession,
and all the ministers in town walked
Just behind it. Next were 100 old SOL
diers of the cross-some lame and all
bent Still farther back were the ribbon
wearing clubs and in the rear many
hundreds in solid ranks. Choirs sang
always happy songs, and the band, ev-
cry member Of which has joined the
church. played only sacred music.
Syndicate" Wilson says he is rep
resentative of a kingdom that wants
emigrants from earth and offers induce
ments that cannot be duplicated-a ev-
erlasting life, freedom from all pain and
sorrow, eternal joy, home in para
disc. Form a syndicate to secure an
everlasting home in Gods heaven !' is
his chief plea.
Probably such scenes were never wit
messed before. This unique religious
parade will, it is believed, destroy the
evils of Sunday Greek valley and give
untold hundreds a home in heaven

as they walked out together to see the
place where she had been thrown.
Yes" assented the other, dread
full Did you hear what Channing's
black boy told me9'
mo"
HE says that she has died from snake
bite. I believe him too. l saw boy die
on the Etheridge from snake bite, and
he looked as she does now. Besides that
there is not a scratch or bruise on her
body, so she couldn't have received any
hurt unless it was an internal one when
she was thrown. Here's the place. " And
then he started back, for, lying at the
foot of the tree, was the painting, trem-
bling figure of Nell Lawson.
She had tried to get there before
them to efface all traces Of her deadly
work.
What are you doing here, Mrs. Law
son?'' said Ballantyne sharply. 1--WE
sent over for you. Don't you know what
has happened?"
The strange, hysterical "Yes' that is
sued from her pallid lips caused Ballan-
tyne to turn his keen gray eyes upon her
intently. Then something of the truf
must have flashed across his mind, fcl
he walked up to the tree and looked i'll
to the tin.
GOOD Godp' he said. "Poor little
womanp' And then he called to Haugh-
ton, Come here and see what killed
her. !"
Haughton looked, and deadly horror
chilled his blood Lying in the bottom
of the tin was a thick, brownish red
death adder. 1t raised its hideous, flat
/ ted head for moment, then lowered it
and lay there regarding them with its
deadly eye
"How did it get there?' he asked
Ballantyne pointed to Nell Lawson,
who now stood leaned against tree for
support.
Haughton sprang to her side and seized
her hands.
"Are you a murderess. Nell? What
had she done to you that you should
take her innocent life? She was nothing
to me-she was Ballantyne's wife. !"
She looked at him steadily, and her
lips moved; then shrill, horrible laugh
burst forth, and she fell unconscious at
his feet.
That day Haughton left Mulliner's
camp forever.
Perhaps this story should have anoth-
er ending and Nell Lawson have met
with Just retribution. But, as i'll the
case Of many other women-and men
with natures such as hers, she did not,
for when old Claiming lay dying she
nursed him tenderly to the last, and
perhaps because Of this, or for that he
could never understand why blue eyed
Kate had never come back, he left her
all he had, much to the wondering ad-
miration of honest, dull -witted Bob,
her husband, who, almost Immediately
after the old mans death, when return
ing home one night from the Booming
Nugget, filled with great peace of
! mind and considerable quantity of bad
rum, fell down shaft and broke his
neck after the manner of one Of old
Channing's bullocks-and then she mar
ried Ballantyne.
Everything seems to come to him who
waits, especially if he is systematic in
his villainy, and has confiding wife,
as had Ballantyne in his first matri-
monial venture. Sketch.
