The BattIe Abbey.

Inasmuch as the offer of Mr.. Rouss to
give the Memorial Institute or Battle Alb
hey 100000 is conditioned upon the
raising from other sources of an equal
sum it is to be hoped an arrangement
will be made by which the Jefferson
Davis Museum property may become
part and parcel of the Abbey.
The interest that attaches to the Davis
Mansion will long continue, for it was
there that our President resided for four
years. 1t was there he had important
consultations with Lee and other of his
generals. It was there, also, that Presi-
dent Lincoln had important councils with
some of his generals. The house was
then in the occupancy of General Welt
eel, who had taken possession of it when
his troops entered the city.
So we may say, with entire confidence,
that to no other house in the South is
there attached such wealth of historical
associations. And under the care of the
ladies association the grounds have been
improved and the building made fire
proof. Furthermore, it is now full of
momentoes of the civil war-many of
them of priceless value. The Battle Abb
hey committee, we think ought to acquire
all this property by merger, purchase or
otherwise, and by so doing the raising of
the rest of the $1oo,o 900 to cover Mr..
Rouss's 800, 600 wodld be an easy mat
ter, comparatively speaking.
There is plenty of ground adjacent to-
the Davis Mansion upon which to erect
new buildings. Any competent architect
could furnish a plan which would allow
additions to be made and yet not destroy
the individuality, SO to speak, of the Da-
Wis Mansion. OF course, that structure
ought to be maintained intact; no new
building could pc half so interesting to
our people as is this one, which was so
intimately associated with the life of
President Davis.
AS we understand the matter, the com
mittee appointed by the United Confed-
crate Veterans has full authority to act as
to all these questions; but we presume it
will consult the wishes of Mr.. Rouss as
to all important details. Mr.. Rouss, how
ever. can have but one object in view
viz, to establish a memorial institute |
which will stand forever and keep before
the public always memorials of the cour-
age and sacrifices, skill and endurance
of the Southern men and women of the
IS6I-'65 period. - Richmond Dispatch.

customer.
Thus writes Henderson Dale, Druggist,
of Carmi, Ill, to the Braddeld Regulator
Company, of Atlanta, Ca, the Proprie-
tors and manufacturers of Mothers
Friend" This successful remedy IS not
one of the many internal medicines ad-
vertised to do unreasonable things, but
scientifically prepared Iniment especially
effective in adding strength and elasticity
to those parts of woman organism which
bear the severest strains of childbirth.
The liniment may be used at any and
all times during pregnancy up to the
very hour of confinement. The earlier 1t
is begun, and the longer used, the more
perfect will be the result, but 1t has been
used during the last month only with
great benefit and success.
It not only shortens labor and lessons
the pain attending it, but greatly dimin-
ishes the danger to life of both mother
and child, and leaves the mother in con-
dition more favorable to speedy recovery.

The Richmond correspondent of the

of Ex-Governor OFerralI these drowsy
days. Since his retirement from the exec
utive chair his health has not been alto

At his LATEST, however, he is not an idle
man. His mind is ever active, and the
cocks are generally signalling midnight
before he retires. Col. O'Ferrall lives
across the river from Richmond in a
beautiful home, renowned for it's hospi-
tality, but he comes to Richmond every
day. He is not allowed to go many yards
at time without having to extend the
handshake to some admirer, for, tho there
are those who differ with him politically.
there are few that can resist the msgne-
tism of the man and the charming man.
