We would respectfully call the
attention Of some of our goldbug

exhausted their little vocabulary
Of criticisms on Hon. W. j. Bryan
and are now worrying themselves
over hls pocket change, to the fol-
lowing paragraph from the Green
vile Democrat: eve received Q
private letter from q friend yester-
day stating that the report hae
been circulated that the Ron. VIM.
j. Bryan demanded q certain guar
antee of dollars before be would

report is not only untrue, but when
Mr.. Bryan was given New York
bank check by Major Negus, Presi.
dent Ct the FRS: National Bank,
for $3.50 for the two speeches de.
iivered here, the great. ig.hearted
statesman asked for pen and de-
libsrately endorsed the check max.
Ing it payable to the University Of
Mississippi. and asked Mr.. Van B.
Boddie, whose guest he was while
here, to send the same to the
chancellor Of the University at
once. MIR. Bryan paid oil his own
travelling expenses and spoke twice
to our people without rsservipg
ono cent for himself and without
even taking one dollar Of the pro.
ceeds Of the lectures from the

A DRUNkARD's sERMoN.

Probably no more eloquent or
dramatic sermon on the sin OF
drunkenness was ever delivered
than 70 which q small gathering Of
drinking men listened in . New
Orleans bar room recently. The
drinkers-a group OF we'll dressed
young men with plenty OF mouey--
were standing ct the bar, when
poor miserable specimen of tramp
pushed open the swinging doors
end with blearsd eyes, looked at
them pleadingly. They ordered q
drink for him, paid for il, and then
bo'sterously demanded that he
should make q speech. After
swallowing the liquor the tramp
gazed ct them for an instant, aud
then, with . dignity and eloquence
that showed how far he had fallen
10 the social aesle, he began to
speak,
"GentIemen," he said, 81 look to.

flowers of spring and l saw them

The tramp ceased speaking.
The glass fell from his nerve:ess
fingers aud sbivered into thousand
trsgments on the floor. The
swinging doors pushed open and
shut to again, and when tho little
group abeut the bar looked up the
tramp was gone. He had gone out
into the dark December night to
wander no doubt till dawn, but he,
outcsst though he was, had made
an impression. They felt that they
had received Lesson which they
would remember while they lived,
and when they left the bar room
the words Of the poor wauderer
still sounded in their ears like q
note of warning.-Clipped.

QUEER COINCIDENCE.
How Two Soldiers Stumbled on
Relatives Graves,

Near Chickamagua Park is the Chat
tanooga National Cemetery, containing
the graves of 1900 men. In this GEM
etery lie the remains of soldiers who
We're killed in the battles of Murfrees-
boro, Chickamagua Missionary Ridge,
Lockout Mountain and Stone River
When the First Regiment of the Illinois
National Guard was in Chattanooga
some time ago, Sergeant Charles G..
Towne and Private Sheppard of Com
pany F took a stroll through the GEM
etery, scrutinizing the tombstones Of
the Federal dead. After examining the
graves of several hundred, to their as
tonishment they stumbled across two
headstones lying side by side, marking
the last resting place of two soldiers
of their own names. The dead men
We're j. E. Towne and w. P. Sheppard
of Michigan. While neither of the liv
ing soldiers had any recollection of any
relatives serving in Michigan regi-
ments, they both claimed that cousins
of their respective fathers were killed
in one of the many skirmishes and bat
ties around Chattanooga and their re-
mains inferred in the cemetery
So impressed were they by the coin
cidence that two persons of the same
names as themselves, probably having
served in the same battle, should be
buried side by side, and that they,
thirty years afterward, should visit the
scene of these mems death and unwit-
tingly stumble across their graves, that
they sent for a photographer and had
their pictures taken, each standing at
the head of the grave OF the man OF
his name. These two First Regiment
boys then wrote their names, the date
of their visit and the name of their
regiment on the two stones and car
ried away several leaves and hickory
nuts which had fallen on the mounds
from the overhanging trees.-Philadel-
