Confederate Memorial institute.

This appeal comes from Gen. Clement
A. Evans:
Office of the Acting President, Atlanta,
Ga, April 21.-By direction of the last
convention of the United Confederate
Veterans, the trustees of the Confederate
Memorial Association send forth this
earnest plea for aid in building our
memorial temple Battle Abbey) in
which shall be gathered relics to tell to
the world, and especially our children's
children to the remotest generations, !"
the valor and deeds of our comrades, the
soldiers of the South, and of our noble
women, who, amid unparalleled sacrifice,
cheered and sustained us during the
storm of war; and in which shall also be
preserved, in archive records, the true
history of our Southland, of her states
men, her armies and navy. of her battles,
her victories and her defeats.
At the last reunion of the Confederate
Veterans resolution was adopted calling
upon each camp to subscribe to this
glorious purpose in proportion to its mem
bership. Each camp of thirty members
was asked to raise not less than SIS; each
camp of fifty members, not less than $40;
each camp of one hundred members. not
less than SIS; and each camp of two
hundred or more members. not less than
$a5.
1t was the purpose of our late Presi-
dent, the late Gen. W. D. Chipley, of
Florida, to personally supervise the in
gathering of the fund thus asked for, but
his untimely death prevented. 1t is an
opportune time, even in the excited pres
ent, to make this call, and we hope to re-
port to the next reunion lat Atlanta, Ga,
on the goth of JULY that our Memorial In
stitute is an accomplished fact. Now is
the time to act Division, brigade, and
camp commanders are urged to see that
each camp responds to this call.
Comrades. remember the past; recall
the battle and our noble dead. Let each
surviving comrade lend his aid. Sons OF
Veterans, help to perpetuate the deeds OF
your heroic fathers. Daughters of the
Confederacy,y your heart-work never fails
Aid us now to preserve the true story OF
our Southland, to perpetuate the valol
and deeds of your brothers and fathers
as we'll as to tell of the glorious women OF
the South in time of war, of their suffer
ings, their saddened hearts, their deserted
homes, their heroic deeds, and their sub
lime devotion.
Gather in your offerings, and remit
them before the 10th of July next, by
check, draft. or postal-order, to the Treas
urer, the Fourth National Bank of Nash
vile, Tenn, or to Gen. Clement A. Ev
ans, Atlanta. Ca. Acting President.

The prominent event of independence
Day at Charles Town was the raising of
large flag upon the Goetz Harness
Works, one of our leading industrial en-
terprizes. At p. m. the Citizen and In
dependent Fire Companies, (the members
of the latter each carrying a flag. headed
ythe Charles Town Cornet Band, moved
ont George street to the works, where a
large crowd had assembled. After music
by the band Col. Forrest w. Brown took
the stand as master of ceremonies, and
after an eloquent reference to the flag
and its origin, and passing reference to
the fact that American soldiers and sea-
men were now adding new lustre to that
victorious emblem, introduced Mr.. Crpoer
w. Smith, who opened his remarks Inv,
complimenting the Messrs. Goetz for tbair
patriotism, and followed in an eloouer+
and interesting address, after which the
flag was raised. Little Misses Vireinio
Butler and Winnie Eby drew the fac
aloft, the band meanwhile playing The
Star-Spangled Banner" and the crowd
greeting the act with loud cheers. The
closing speech was made by Mr.. Jas. NJ.
Mason, Jr., who began with the query
g Why should we celebrate the 4th of
July? F" traced our country's history, and
in eloquent terms concluded in a perora-
ton of glowing patriotism that was loud

Louisiana legislature, and when the
senatorial fight began he was lying at
the point of death at a hotel in Baton

admirer Of Benjamin and he deter
mined to break the tie and send Benja

his own life. Amid great excitement

ooy moved to pity every soul familiar
WIN the circumstances which brought
MIN SO near death. Under the laws
OF his tribe he was condemned to die
ior crime which he always claimed
'nat ne never committed. In accord
ance with the custom Of many of the
wild tribes of the plains, after he had
Deen pronounced guilty and the day
ior MS execution had been fixed, he
was permitted to return to his people
wthout guard or any sort of bond for
nv return. Several weeks were grant
ed MIN In which to arrange his earth
~ anairs and prepare for death. This
spartan custom which prevails all ov-
or the Indian territory excites the
wonder and admiration of every one
familiar with the laws and conduct
OF these strange people. The death
penalty is enforced very frequently in
the territory, and the condemned man
is always allowed to go free several
days, and in no instance has one OF
these unfortunates taken advantage OF
this opportunity to make his escape.
To-Nah-Mah-H was one of the hand
soonest young Indians of his tribe, and
there were many dark-eyed daughters
OF the plains who hoped that some day
they would be chosen to burnish his
arms and keep the fire burning in front
OF his wigwam. Among these many
admirers were two beautiful maidens,
each the daughter Of chief, who had
both evidently found favor in the eyes
Of Panther Tanner One of these was
Minie-Loa-Breath of spring-and the
other La-Na-Fa-Flower of the Vale.
No one had dared to say as to which
OF these had sunken the glances of her
flashing eyes the deepest into the heart
OF the handsome young warrior. There
was nothing in the laws or customs OF
the tribe to have prevented the young
Comanche from taking both Of the
young girls to his wigwam, and II
seems that he had thought of pursuing
this course. but each of the rivals in
share his heart with another. They
hated each other with more than the
deadly bitterness frequently manifest
cd by women in a similar position.
Panther Tanner was greatly perplexed.
He honestly declared that he was ready
to take either or both to his bosom,
and curiously enough he requested
them to settle it between themselves.
One Of them did settle 1t much sooner
than he expected. and in way that
startled Panther Tanner and made the
