St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1899-04-29

this seal was drawn by Judge A. b.
Boteler. of Virginia. who was at that
time serving as major in the confed.
crate army; but who subsequently
served as one of the law officers Of
the department of justice in the ma
tional capital. The design was sent
to the confederate minister at London,
who caused the great seal to be made
of pure silver, by an artificer named
Wyatt. who was famed for work Of
that character.
The best authenticated rumor about
the seal is that it was thrown into a
well by President Davis, while he was
trying to escape from the country, but
nobody knows where to locate the well.
and the great seal will probably never
be discovered.
Along with other things of historic
value. there was sent to the war de-
partment all of the confederate money
that was captured with the taking of
Richmond; and its face value amount
ed to almost fabulous millions. Be
sides, there were other millions of
confederate bonds, all of them now
worthless, save as relics. This paper
money has been preserved, however.
and specimens have been pasted into
a scrap book by clerks, and that scrap
book is carefully guarded. for it is
worth. as a curio. more than its weight
in gold, diamonds and precious stones.
A singular bit of history is narrated
by one of the veteran clerks at the
department. concerning these relics.
There is in the archives confederate
silver half dollar. On the face of it
is the goddess of liberty, surrounded

A clever woman, provided she be not
too sarcastic and too fully alive to
sense of her own Importance, is gener-
ally an attractive one. Men may be
chormed for a time by pretty face,
but they soon tire of mere prettiness.
Nor does il follow that all women OF
good sense and sharp intellects are nee
essarily plain. Bright thoughts err
liven the most ordinary face, until the
reflection Of the mind shining out in
all its radiance makes one forget that
the features are not pure Grecian. and
leads us to believe that such a woman is
in reality great beauty. The vivacions
creature of varying moods and quaint
fancies is the one to charm. 4 man for

not possess, so interested does he be-

renders her face ever winning, irresist-

by 13 stars. and the figures 1861 on the
rim. On the reverse side is shield
surrounded by seven stars. Above the
shield there is helmet cap. with stalks
of sugarcane and cotton twined about
| it. On the rim are the words: Con
| federate States of America" The IL
stars on the face of the silver piece
represent the 13 states of the confed
eracy; and the seven stars on the re
verse side represent the seven original
seeding states. The stalks of sugar
and cotton represented the principal
industries of the newly founded repnb'
lie. In those days the sugar cane and
cotton of the south were great wealth
producers, and a common commercial
phrase was Cotton is king"
But the bit of history to which ref
erence has been made is that there were
only four of those silver half dollars
made by the New Orleans mint, and
one of them is in possession of our
government.
south produced cotton and sugar in
boundless measure all of the gold and
silver bullion of this continent was
wedged in the mountains of the west
and north. Consequently. after the
mint accepted a design and began to
strike off half-dollar coins, an order
came from the confederate secretary
of the treasury. Mr.. Memminger. TO
cease coming. This order was re-
ceived just as the fourth half dollar
was taken from the die. One of the
four coins is here, but nobody seems to
know what has become of the other
three.
Here is chance for political econom.
lists to moralize and start an argu-
ment, in which the writer will not join.
The people of the south had plenty of
produce, but no gold or silver out of
which to make money. They made
money out of paper. and it deprecated
and became worthless. The United
States also issued paper money, which
deprecated. Gold and silver sought
hiding places. and did not come out un-
til long after the civil war.
Senator Mills. of Texas, says that
every veteran of the confedcracy who
is still living has some confederate pa
per money. and that the families Of
those who have died have confederate
paper money, all of it being kept
in memory of the lost cause.
Many of the people kept it for
years. hoping that in some way
it could be made good. But now
they know that it is valueless except
as memento of the four years struggle
to found new republic based upon
human slavery. He also says that not
one man in ten thousand to-day in the
south would want slavery restored.

IN LOVE WITH HIS GOODS.
Rare China Wins the Heart Of the
Dealer and He Hates to Part
with It.

There are dealers who are themselves
possessing objects that arc infinitely de-
sirable in almost all the branches of
art, is percnLia.ly poor, because he
hates to sell you anything for which he
can conscientiously charge decent
price. Great people visit his shop
continually. and he might ask what he
liked and be sure of getting it. He
has been known. however. when he has
received warnings of an impending visit,
to hide the very objects which he knows
the coming connoisseur would surely
buy if he should see them.
Once upon a time land this is no
fairy taleD he had an unlimited COM
mission to buy choice pieces of Nankin
for a wealthy, collector. He bought a
few pieces, and took his commission.
albeit he loathed himself for so doing.
Then he heard privately that small
but exquisite collection was in the
market. lie went straight to his en-
ployer and impaired the fact to him;
then he resigned his commission. The
employer thinks him mad to this day.
The truth was that he could not endure
the thought of buying so lovely collec-
tion and handing ii over to another,
even though he would have taken a
handsome reward for so doing, and
could never have afforded to pur-
chase it for himself. The only way
in which one may deal profiiably with
him is by acquiring knowledge and
an enthusiasm equal TO his own. Then
he will part with all that is best among
his possessions-things that the or
dinary wealthy customer is never even
allowed to see; ard you afterward sus-
pect that he has sold them to you with
out the smallest profit.-Chambers

1t appears from the latest reports
that the cattle losses in Texas from
the great blizzard will he much less

-Guernseys win their way by their
own straightforward work in the
dairy. Their large size commends
them to the farmers who are grading
up good butter herds.
A heifer which has no calf until
three years old seldom makes "a heavy
mixer. Breed the heifers early. and
cultivate the habit Of early maturity
for other than beef purpose.
because q hog is to sell by the
pound almost anyone will feed II well
but not one man in ten will feed a
milch cow enough to enable Ter to do
half as well as she might.
There is no necessity, further than
ease of cultivation. of painting pota-
tees in hills three feet apart. for if but
4 foot apart about three times as many
potatoes can be obtained with almost
the same labor.

GREAT SEAL OF THE coNrEDERAcY

crates rained shot and shell into their
ranks, killing and wounding the blue
coated soldiers by the hundred and
thousand. They talk of these things
as calmly as they would talk of the
battles Of the revolution.
When Richmond fell, in 1865, all OF
the confederate archives were taken
to Washington and guarded by the war
department. They are still in the pos
session of the government. and al
ways will be. The publication of the
rebellion records has placed the bulk of
those archives in book form before the
people; but there are many uf the
records which have never been pub
lished.
Looking over the records to-day the
writer came across the full list of the
members Of the confederate cabinet,
with the dates of their appointments,
and the states from which they came.
It is a good list to have, and to keep
in your scrapbook. Here It's:

min. Louisiana, February Z. 1862 Treasury

The greatest man in the confederate
cabinet was Judah p. Benjamin. Every
body in public life conceded the fact
in those days. and ever afterwards dur
ing his lifetime. He was attorney
general, secretary of war and secretary
of state, filling the latter Office when
the confederacy collapsed. He after
wards went 10 London, where he built
up splendid law practice and accumu-
lated fortune.
In the confederate archives there is
preserved the seal of the treasury, and
the design of the great seal of the con-
federacy. The treasury seal Is an iron
with die little larger than
a Mexican dollar, The great seal of
the confederacy was lost or concealed
after the fall of Rich
mond; and nobody now living seems
. know where II i. The design ol
