Another Monument at Antietam,

A 1000 monument will shortly be
erected on Antietam battlefield. This
one will be erected by Massachusetts,
soldiers. The governor of Massachu-
sets and the council of Boston have
approved the design chosen by the
commission having in charge the selec-
ton of the monument to the Massachu-
sets troops who fell at the battle of
Antietam. 1t will be built OF Massa-
chusetts granite, twenty-one feet long
and fifteen feet high, and will be
erected on a mound standing eight feet
above the surrounding ground at the
fork of the two government roads, near
the Nicodemus house and the famous
old Dunkard church. In the bronze
tablets to the right and left will be
placed the number of the regiments en-.
gagged in the fight and their legend.
At the rear of the center-piece will be
a map of the battlefield engraved on
bronze, with the location Of each regi-
ment. In the center OF the monument
the coat-of-arms of Massachusetts, will
be placed. A path will be constructed
around the mound and granite posts
with brass rails will surround the plot.

Still the Old South.

The Richmond Dispatch, referring to
a very tiresome and idiolic bit of hum
bug, quite popular some years ago, says:
"Col. Richard Malcolm Johnston
was true to himself and to his people,
when in his speech the other night al
the banquet of the New England So
ciely of New York he repudiated the
new South idea. THE South, said
Col. Johnston, l do not say the new
South; it is the old South, continuing
fond of her traditions, and ashamed OF
no part OF her history etc. There is
nothing more sickening than to hear a
Southern man talk about the new
South, particularly if he is addressing
an assemblage of Northern men,"

creased cost of wool, though that is a
large allowance, the suit which foi M
merly cost $12 would then cost 1870,
instead of $3.50, as the Herald COM
putes.
We do not sustain the wool-growers'
demands. We believe that they are
excessive. But that is not the point
just now. What we are directing at

which the Herald misleads it's readers
in the discussion of tariff questions.
In the present instance it is precise ly

The Court Had Been There.

There was certain Georgia Judge,
not Judge Fish, however, yet one who
believed in upholding the dignity of
the bench, and, as well, was tenacious
OF his own personal honor.
A divorce suit, in which a gray
haired veteran of the late war was
plaintiff, came up before him while he
was on the circuit out in back county.
The rude court room was filed with
spectators, and the old man seemed I'M
willing to go on the stand in his own
defence.

without good reasons" announced the
court, and the plaintiff went into the
chair that served as witness box.
Now" said the attorney, "tell us
just what your wife did to make you
leave her.
The witness looked appealingly at the
judge.
Answer the question:" was the Or
der.
"Well, she called me Names"
THAT is not ground enough for d.
vorce," said the court, sternly.
Aud she neglected me-"
Is that al ?"
"And she said that l was q coward
and sneak because went to war and
came back alive. She said that all the
brave and worthy men died in battle,

The Herald's Arithmetic.

In an article upon "The Demands of
the Wool Growers - the Herald gives
an amusing illustration of confused and
confusing arithmetic. The article is
based on the statement credited to the
representative of the Ohio wool grow
ers, that what the wool growers want
is to raise the price of their wool from
its present level of nine cents pound
to twenty cents.
The Herald mathematician then pro.
ceeds to argue that this increase would
come first out of the pocket of the
manufacturer, but he would add it to
the price of his cloth and as much
more as might be necessary to cover
interest on increased capital, and then
would come the enlarged basis of pro.
fits of agents aud jobbers, manufacture
ing clothiers and retailers. The retail
er, the Herald estimates, would have
to " expend as much in the purchase OF
fifty suits of clothes as he previously
had for 120." The Herald proceeds:
Obviously, by this cumulative pro.
cess, the buyer of the suit of clothes
which formerly cost S12 would sud.
denly find himself confronted with the
necessity of paying 1928. 80 for precisely
the same kind of goods, even if nobody
but the wool grower became any richer
by the change, each of the intermedi
aries between the grower of the WOO
and the wearer of the clothes merely
charging the customary rate of prof
on the value of the material passing
through his hands"
The absurdity of this calculation i,
apparent on a moments reflection
The change proposed by the WOO
growers affects only the cost of the un
washed wool, which goes to the max
ing of the suit of clothes, but the Her
aid commits the egregious error of fig
uring a prOportionate increase in ever,
item of the cost of production. Be
cause the wool, under the circumstance
imagined, costs approximately doubl
what it did, is the manufacturer, TO
that reason, going to double the wage
of his operatives? And is the manuiac
turing clothier going to pay his tailor
1925 day instead of SO? Yet that i
precisely what the HerGld's arithmeti
requires.
The true basis of calculation is a
follows: 1t takes about fifteen pound
of unwashed wool to make a good sui
of winter clothes. To make a summe
suit it takes perhaps twelve. Raising
the cost of wool eleven cents poun,
would add 81 65 TO the cost of a white
suit, and 81 80 to the cost of summe
suit. Suppose we add five cents a

But Once.

We pass this way but once, dear heartl
Musing above the birch logs flare,
The booming Of the mighty mart
Borne to us through snow-laden air,
Our talk Is Of Life's little day
Between us and the embers' glow
A phantom waivers, spent and gray,
The Year that died awhile ago.
We pass this way but once. The seeds.
From lax or heedful hands that fall,
VIII yield their kind. Lush, noisome weeds,
Our wild remorse cannot recall:
Sweet herbs OF grace and goodly grain
We idly strew or plant with prayers;
Others will reap. for loss or gain,
And cursing US, will burn our tares.

And steep the climb through binding heat
And cruel frost, and sharp the shard
'Gainst which we dash our hurrying feet,
Our toll and hurt leave scanty trace:
A blood stain on displaced stone,

Perchance the echo Of q moan.
We pass this way but once. The Joy
That might be ours to-day, withheld
(As you might daily with toyD
Changes, like fairy gold Of old,
To withered leaves that mock our tears.
The love denied, the hope delayed,
what'er the wealth of future years,
Remain, for aye, debt unpaid.
with thy true eyes on mine. dear heart,
As at the margin Of the sea
Which thee and me one day must part,
Forgive all that would not be.
Assist thou me, while I cast out
Dark fancies that have wroueh me pain;
Let loves strong faith bear down weak doubt
We shall not pass this way again.

SELECTED POETRY.
In His Princely Place.

When the royal One was born.
Child Of Mary, mother maid,
On this white and wintry morn
In the lowly msnger laid,-
lie was In his princely place,
Lord and lover OF our race.
Through the life he lived alone,
Knocked and feared, betrayed, denied,
Lifted on the cruel throne
Where for love of man he died.
He was In his princely place,
Lord and lover of our race.
Through the ages of the past
While the mold was shaped and made
For the perfect image cast,
God in man, tho long delayed
He was in his princely place,
Lord and loyer of his race.
Through the ages swift or slow,
on the further fairer side,
In the gloom or in the glow,
Whether crowned or cruci6ed,-
He shall keep his princely place.
Lord and lover of our race.
When the phantoms OF our doubt
One by one are stilled or slain,
All the cunning thieves cast out
From the temple of the BRAIN
He shall keep his princely place,
Lord and lover Of our race.
When on times remotest brink,
To his greatness man shall grow,
When the cruel thoughts we think
Shall give room to truths we KNOW

Makes a Difference.

At sweet sixteen, she colors up,
And bushes with surprise,
Because she is the exposure
OF many bad mems eyes.
At thirty all this childish pride
Has gone, as one may say;
She almost weeps, cause no bad man
Doth care to look her way.
AT forty FIVE, maiden yet,
She wanders pale and sad,
And wonders how she ever thought
That any man was bad.
