THIS has been week of beauti-
full weather; and usually at this
time of the year and this kind of
weather our stores are crowded with
customers. But this week the trade
has been disappointing; it has not
been particularly bad, but it has not
been as good as was expected. The
reason for this, we are told, is that
the country ladies and children are
afraid of the soldiers; and that their
husbands and fathers are also afraid
for them to come to town. This fear
grows out of the conduct Of the sol
diers the first day they came; and if
they had continued that rOwdy, law
less behavior, these fears would
have been well grounded, and the
HERALD should have advised not
only the women and children of the
country, but of the town as well, to
have stayed off the streets. But
lutIo has Defl d lelLidi hdblt CIlduSC
since that day, and that danger no
longer exists. The soldiers are as
quiet and orderly and we'll behaved
on the average, as any other twenty
five hundred men in this county
What makes them appear different
and worse than other men, is be-
cause they wear uniform, and
whatever any one of their number
does, is known and talked about

True, they crowd the side walk
sometimes, but we have seen Othe
people do that; and they are every
where, and seem to be trying to taxi
in the town and see all there is to be
seen; but there is no harm in this
and they do it simply to kill time
having nothing else to do. Blu

MAGNIFICENT MONUMENT.
The Last Chapter In the History of the
southern C"nfedaracy.

MONTGOMERY, Dec. THE last
chapter in the history OF the South
ern Confederacy, which had its birth
in Montgomery, was completed here
to-day, when the ladies of the Ala
bama Memorial Association dedi-
Gated and formally presented to the
State the handsome Confederate
monument which adOrns the Capitol
grounds.
The shaft stands less than 100
yards from where Mr.. Davis stood
when he took the oath of office, and
Just outside the window Of the cham.
Der in which the first Confederate
Congress was held. 1t is magnifi-
cent monument, costing some $40,
600. Its base is thirty four feet
square and consists of four layers of
stone, marking as many steps
These steps lead up to four pedestals,
on each Of which is statue, one OF
an infantryman, one Of an artillery
man, one Of cavalrymnn and the
other Of sailor. From nut Of the
common centre rises a 70-foot cir.
cular shaft, four or five feet in diam.
eter. A circular bas relief around
the shaft represents troops on the
march. A Corinthian cap sur.
mounts the top OF the shaft, and
upon this is a magnificent l0-foOt
statue in bronze, representing a fe
male figure and typifying patriotism
and the women of tho South. The
figure upholds in one hand broken
flag and with the other tenders to
| her sons a sword.
The fund for the building of this
monument was started by the wO
men of Montgomery Immediately
upon the close of the civil war. The
State was Impoverished and theil
progress was slow at first. In 1885,
Jefferson Davis came to MOntgom,
cry and laid the cornerstone Of the
monument with elaborate ceremon
les. Since then the shaft has ap
preached as the available funds jus

OPPOSITION TO BATE.

1t Has Apparently All Gone Up in

A special from Nashville to the
Memphis COmmercial-Appeal says
1T may be incorrect diagnosis of
of the case, but to an observing man
it looks as if the opposition to Bate
has gone up in smoke. So far as the
Commercial Appeals correspondent
is able to see the situation there
never was much in the opposition
to Bate

each other about the respective value of
the cavalry and artillery during the i'm

four years, and he naturally has a tender
spot for the value of his department of the

MY DEAR GEN ERAL-I was very much graft
fed yesterday at the reception Of your letter
of the 9Th ult. have been very anxious con-
corning you and could obtain no satisfactory
information. You cannot regret as much as
did that you We're not with us at our final
struggle. The absence of the troops which
had sent to North and South Carolina was
believe, the immediate cause Of our disaster
Our small force of cavalry "a large portion OF
the men who had been sent to the interior TO
winter their horses had not reioined their reg
iments) was unable to resist the united Federal
cavalry under Sheridan, which obliged me TO
detach Pickett's division to Fitz Lee support,
weakening my main line, and yet not accom-
plishing my purpose. If you had been there
with all of our cavalry, the result at Five
Forks would have been different, ." i" That
every happiness may attend you and yours Il

ENTERTAINMENTS.
in Artl.tic Altoona.

The reception given by Mrs. s. G.
Huntington and Mrs. w. S. Flem-
ing might almost he described in
the one word "aTtistic." From the
moment one entered the hall each
new feature and every little detail
of the entertainment seemed to APP
peal especially to the artistic ma.
ture OF the guests. This was espec.
tally true of the decorations and
refreshments. The spacious recep-
ton room was lavIshly, yet at the
same time most delicately, bedeck-
ed with rich golden and pure white
chrysanthemumS, with ivy, holly
and mistletoe in profusion. This
room was simply gem of beauty.
Mrs. Huntington was handsome
ly gowned in black satin with
black and white applique, and
received with grace and cordiality.
Mrs. Fleming always welcomes her
guests with much warmth of man
ner, and she wore a black gown with
pink trimmings. Miss Narcisse
Williams served chocolate, and
Misses Laura Galloway, Rebecca
Williamson and Daisy fowler assist.
ed in receiving the guests. In the
dining room was found a new feast
for the eye as we'll as the palate. Pink
and white were the chosen cOlors
here, and the idea was beautifully
executed in both decorations and re-
freshments. Strains of sweet music
seemed naturally to accompany such
beautiful scene, and gave All added
cheer and gladness to the occasion
The gowns of the guests were eX'
ceedingly handsome and stylish-in
fact every detail was attended with
degree of success which might
make the most successful hostess
proud.
Mrs. Octie Cherry entertained in 6
most delightful manner at her home
on Fifth street last Friday evening
complimentary to her sister, Mis-:
