Laurence Hutton's rccollcctions of hts
boyhood ara In ST. Nicholas under the title
Of "a Boy Knew" His earliest visit &c
Scotland was madc when he WAS but or
s years Of age and long before he had AN
sumed tho dignity Of trousers or had been
sent 20 school. His father had gone TO the
old home at st. Andrews hurricdiy, upon
the receipt of the news of the serious i'll.

before they reached her. Naturally the
boy has little recollection Of that sad
month Of Dcccmier. spent I'm his grand.

he rose upon tho British isles.
The boys chief amusement was the feed
Ing of -four sconcs and oatcakcs to an
old goat that lived I'm tho neighborhood
and the daily walks with his grandfather,
who seemed to find somo little comfort and
entertainment In his grandson's childish
prattlo. He was then almost the only
grundch.ld, and the old man WAS very
proud Of Ills .nanncr and appearance and
particularly amused at certain gigantic
efforts on the boys part to adapt his own
short logs to tho strides Of his seniors
long ones.
After they had interviewed the goat, and
had watched the wrecks with which tho
wild shore was strewn. and had inspected
the castle i'm rrins and the ruins OF the
cathedral the boy would gaze upon his
granimother's new made grave, and his
own nan,e i'm fUll--sl common name In the
famiIy--upon tho family tomb in the old

very cheering to the boy, although he
could not read it for himself
And then--which was bctter--they
would stand hand in hand for "a timo In

was displayed little regiment Of lead sol

Hipson, who scored every rush made, 16 in

called on Conway was the extent of the
rough play. John Smith put up star
game, and although the home team made
it lively for him, and gave him over 40
stops, he frequently left the cage and met
the ball half way up the floor, never being
caught. The Salcns had their usual luck

ON THE LATE WAR.
Gen. Marmadulke Says Honor and
Glory OF the Struggle Belong
to the South

10 the south.
st. Louis, Nov. 26.-Gen. Vincent Mar
maduke of Sweet Springs, Mo-, who was
recently appointed by the ex-confederate
veterans of Missouri as chairman of the
committee to write an authentic history
of the part Missouri and Missourians
took in the Civil war, today issued re.
markable address:
1t was addressed to the ex-confederates
of Missouri, and said in part:
"The honor and glory of this great
struggle was with the south, and south.
ern soldiers ought, in justice to them.
selves and their dead comrades, preserve
the memory of it. While the north and
northern soldiers are inveighing against
all manifestation of sectional feeling
they are erecting monuments to theiI
successful leaders and telling the stor,
very much to their credit and to oul
detriment. The north had more thar
four soldiers to one in the south. 1t:
armies were reinforced and assisted by
600 ships of war, manned by 35.OOO
sailors. 1t had unlimited credit, which
meant an unlimited supply of money. II
had factories to manufacture everything
needed, to arm and equip, to supply and
man its armies and fleets. 1t had rail
roads running in every direction for the
course with the whole world, and could
draw recruits for its army and navy
from the whole world.
"The south had none of these advant-
ages, or had them only to limited eX-
