Tale of the Pins.

In tho managers Office in large whole
sale houses there nearly always hangs a
map of territory surrounding Chicago
which is stuck full of pins with red,
blue, green or yellow glass heads. At
first glance there seems to be little
method in the madness with which the
pins are placed, but to the merchant
they are eloquent and tell exactly the
sort of goods or quantity sold i'll a GER
tain territory. In laying out routes for
statesmen instructions are issued accord
ing to the tale told by the pins, and
when certain section remains sparsely
settled with the pins plan of campaign
is laid out and the dTummers are sent
in to capture it Circulars, posters, local
advertisements and every sort Of COM
mercial gun is turned on the territory
until it capitulates. So general is the
use of these pins in wholesale houses
that firm makes a business of supply
ing them, with other Office fixtures. -

HsRoIsm OF 4 WIDOW.
General schoheId's Recognition of the
Bravery Of. Southern Woman.

"a
II was on ths first and second days Of
September, 1864, General Hardee Of
the southern forces, was sent TO Jones'
boro from Atlanta with %, 600 men to
head off a formidable flank movement
of the enemy which had for its purpose
to cut of southern communication and
thereby compel the evacuation Of the
city Of Atlanta. The flank movement
consisted of 1000 or IS, 900 men and
was commanded chiefly by Major Gen
eral John NJ. Schofeld. together with
General Sedgwick, who was also corps
commander, and consisted Of the best
fighters of the Federal army.
AS the two armies confronted each
other two miles 10 the north and north
west of JonesboTo, it so happened that
the little house and farm Of poor old
widow was just between the two lines
of battle when the conflict opened, and
having nowhere TO 90 she was neces-
sarily caught between the fire of the two
commanding lines of battle, which were
at comparatively close range and doing
fierce and deadly work. The house and
home of this old lady was soon convert
ed into federal hospital, and with the
varying fortunes she was alternately
within the lines of each contending
army. when not between them on dis
puted ground So the battle ragged all
day, and the wounded and dying of both
armies were carried to the humble shell
ter Of this old lady until her yard and
premises were literally strewn with the
dead and dying of both armies.
During the whole of this eventful day
this good and brave woman, exposed as
she was to the incessant showers of shot
and shell from both sides, moved fear
lessly about among the wounded and
dying of both sides alike, and without
making the slightest distinction. Final
" night closed the scene with General
Schofield's army corps in possession OF
the ground, and when the morning
dawned it found this grand old lady still
at her post of duty, knowing, too, as
she did, the fortunes, or rather misfor-
tunes, of war had stripped her of the
last vestige of property she had except
her little tract of land which had been
laid waste Now it was that General
John M. Schofield, having known of her
suffering and destitute condition, sent
her under escort and arms large wagon
load of provisions and supplies, and
caused his adjutant general to write her
a long and touching letter of thanks,
and wound up the letter with special
request that she keep it till the war was
over and present it to the United States
government and they would repay all
her losses.
She kept the letter and soon after the
southern claims commission was estab-
lished she brought it to the writer, who
presented her claim in due form, and
she was awarded about SOCIAL she
claimed, but not being all she lost. That
letter is now ON file with other proofs OF
the exact truth of this statement with
the files of the southern claims commits
sion at Washington.
Her name was Allie McPeek and she
died several years ago. Atlanta Con-
stitution.

pertence In kentucky.
To illustrate how naturally some
Kentuckians seize an opportunity to
make a speech. recall an incident that
happened in the legislature in 1850,
when Mr.. Charles Stewart Parnen was
invited by the general assembly to visit
Frankfort. A member was selected by
the general assembly TO present him 10
the house aud senate, and il was dis
tinctly announced by the committee in
charge that no other speech would be
allowed in joint meeting. The speaker
of the house, worthy, ambitious man,
was in the chair. AS Mr.. Parnell, lean
ing on the arm of Governor Luke 2.
Blackburn, entered the door of the hall.
our spokesman met them, and, turning
to the speaker and the large and distin-
guished assembly, formally presented
Mr.. Parnell, stating his official position,
the praisewothy motive that brought
him TO America and his plans for the
relief of Ireland, then afflicted by fam
inc. Our sympathy for him and his
country was expressed in earnest and
glowing terms
After speaking five minutes the
spokesman, according to instructions.
escorted him 20 the speakers desk, it
having been agreed that Mr. PMnell
should at once address the assembly ;
but before he could open his mouth the
speaker unexpectedly rushed into a
speech, saying Ladies and gentlemen.
have the honor TO present Mr.. Cor
nell. ITO set the gentleman right Mr..
Parnell whispered his name, and the
speaker, correcting himself, proceededl }:
He is a distinguished member Of the
English parliament, and no name is
moro beloved in Ireland than that of
Mr.. Cornell again Mr.. Parnell whis-
pered the right name, and again the
speaker, correcting the mistake, pro-
ceeded): l ann sure you will recall this
day i'll after years with delight and
that a favorable report of your courtesy
will be carried back to Erin and TO
England by our distinguished guest. In
our homes his coming has been discuss
ed with sympathy, day and night, until
now every man, woman and child IN
the land has learned to respect, to re-

LAST SLAVE AUCTION.
1t Was at Savannah a Year and Half
Before the War.

ncIOEo Nho W
The last great slave auction held in
this country occurred just year and a
half before the war-in October, 1853
at the race track in Savannah. The
slaves were the property of Pierce But
Ter, picturesque and prominent figure
at that day in Philadelphia society,
who is today only remembered as hay
ing been the husband of Fanny Kemble,
the actress, reader and author. His fam
ily name was Mease, but he inherited q
fortune in lands and slaves from his
grandfather. Major Pierce Butler of
South Carolina, ON condition that he
should take the latter's name.
Buffers inveterate passion for gam
bling got him into financial difficulties.
1t is said that he lost $26, 600 on sin
gle hand-four deuces against four
kings held by his opponent.
Finally, TO meet his losses, Butler
was forced to sell his slaves. There
were 9SS of them in all The sale took
two days and Melted 1903, $50. Butler
had chosen a good time to sell. A year
later his negroes would not have been
worth a dollar head. But the sale
would have been more profitable had II
not been announced as one of the con-
ditions that no division of familiei
would be permitted. Hence, IN order to
secure a good slave, buyers often had
to take with them infirm or aged rela-
tives. Out of this limitation grew a
memorable tragedy. Tom Pate, well
known Vicksburg trader, bought at the
sale man, his two sisters and his wife,
with the guarantee that they should
not be separated. Disregarding this,
Pate sold the sisters, one TO Pat Somers,
a brother trader, and the other to resi-
dent of st. Louis What legal rights q
negro had in the south were well pro
tected. Somers was told of the guaran
tee, and he sent the girl back to Pate
and demanded his money A quarre
was the result, and Somers was sho
dead. Ten days later his nephew killed
Pate, and died from wounds received
The feud was kept up until every male
bearing the name of Pate was wiped
out. and then the war liberated the sis
tiers. New York Herald.

An indians Speech.

Probably the most remarkable speech
which was 11ade on a Fourth Of July
was in Seattle, Wash where a full
blooded Indian, Matthew p. Seattle,
granddaughter Of the old chief for whom
the city was named, took the stand. He
began, Friends, Americans, Country
men-Friends because your people have
raised my race from degradation, dark
ness and oblivion; Americans, because
you possess the land which is truly
American; countrymen, because You in
habit the same land that my race once
occupied. ;,

There are now about 20 wholesale
commission dealers in cut flowers in the
city. The first dealer in this business
started about IS years ago Before that
retail florists who did not raise their
own flowers sent to the greenhouses of
the growers tor them. Now nearly all
florists buy of the wholesale commission
dealers in tho city.
The flowers sold in this city are grown
in New Jersey, aud ON Long Island and
at some other points in this state They
are brought here by express packed in
boxes constructed for the purpose. The
busy part of the day in the wholesale
flower establishments is from o'clock
in the morning, at about which time
the flowers arrive, until about noon.
The customers Of the wholesale dealer
include not only city florists, but also
florists in many places within 10 miles
around New York, and flowers are often
shipped from here to points much more
distant. New York Sun.
