stouewaII Jackson. Death.

General Horace Porter, in his Cam
paigning with Grant" in the Century,
relates the following anecdote Of an
occurrence after the Wilderness cam
paign: While our people were putting
up the tents and making preparations
for supper, General Grant strolled over
to a house near by owned by Mr..
Chandler, and sat down OH the porch.
| accompanied him, and took a seat
beside him. In few minutes Il lady
came to the door. and was surprised TO
find that the visitor was the general-in-
chief. He was always particularly
civil to ladies. and he rose to his feet
courteous bow. She was ladylike and
polite i'm her behavior, and she and the
general soon became engaged i'll Il
pleasant talk. Her conversation WIS
exceedingly entertaining. She said,
among other things: This house has
witnessed some sad scenes. One of
our greatest generals died here just a
year ago-General JacksOn-Stonewall
Jackson of blessed memory. In
deedI" remarked General Grant. He
and l were mt West Point together for
year and we served in the same army
in Mexico" Then you must have
known how good and great he was
said the lady. "Oh. yes, replied the
general: she was sterling, manly
cadet. and enjoyed the respect Of every
r.. 10, 80
religious turn of mind and a plod-
ding. Woodworking student. His stand
ing was very low in his class, but by
his indomitable energy he managed to
graduate quite high. He was gal
liant soldier and a Christian gentleman,
and I can understand fully the admir-
alton your people have for him.
"They brought him here the Monday
after the battle of Chancellorsyille,' -
she continued. ''You probably know,
sir. that he had been wounded in the
left arm and right hand by his own
men. who fired upon him accidentally
in the night and his arm had been am
putated on the field. The operation
was very successful. and he was get
ting along nicely, but the wet applica-
tions made to the wound brought on
pneumonia, and it was that which
caused his death. He fingered till the
next Sunday afternoon, May 10, and
then he was taken from u.s." Here
the lady of the house became very
much affected, and almost broke down
in recalling the sad event.
Our tents had by this time been
pitched and the general, after taking Il
polite leave Of his hostess. and saying
he would place a guard over her house
to see that no damage was done to her
property. walked over 10 camp. and
soon after sat down with the mess to a
light supper.

Appreciation of Gold.

From Bradstreet we learn that gold
has appreciated 81 per cent. since 1890.
Atkinson admits that gold has appreci-
ated - per cent. Other testimony is
not wanting DIR. Linderman. Director
of the Mint. in his report for the year
1873. says:
THE gradual adoption of the gold
standard and consequent demonetiza-
ton of silver WILL of course. be follow
ed by an increase in the value of gold.
or. what is the same thing, Il decrease
in the price of articles measured by it.
Speaking of the effect of the increase
of prices by reason of the enlargement
of the quantity of money produced by
the Sherman law, requiring purchase
of silver and issue of treasury notes to
the extent of S4.J00,000 per month.
President Harrison, in his message to
Congress, Dee. 1, 1890, used these
words:
1t is curious to note that the advance in
prices of articles wholly unaffected by
the tariff act was by many hastily as
cribed to that act Notice was not taken
of the fact that the general tendency of
the markets WAS upward from influences
wholly apart from the recent tariff legisa-
ton. The enlargement of our currency by
the silver bill undoubtedly gave an up
ward tendency to trade and had marked
effect on-prces; but this natural and de-
sired effect of the silver legislation was
by many enormously attributed to the
tariff act. =

That Pension Trick.

In an endeavor to break the solid
South the Republican politicians are
going 10 extremes. Nothing more I'M
reasonable could have been suggested
than the placing of Confederate veier-
ans on the pension list of the govern
ment. That such suggestion meets
with no favor at the South is a testi-
mOni:l as TO the sense and Judgment
of the Southern people. In discussing
this matter. the Houston Post says:
For thirty years and more the cX-Con-
federates have lived without becoming
pensioners. or even desiring or dreaming
of becoming such, and it is hardly possi-
bic at this late day that they would so
surrender their manhood and self-reSpect
as to attempt To feed upon the national
treasury as if they were Il lot of hungry
mendicants.
On the other hand, strong men. men
with large salaries. men with capital.
men who never smelled the smoke of the
conflict, have engaged in this wholesale
pension robbery. In the meantime the
South has put its brave hand to the plow
and the machine. received no assistance,
accepted no charity. hut generously. and,
indeed, mcomplainingly, contributed mill
ions to the national treasury to be raven
ously pounced upon and divided by the
greedy army whose numbers genera
ton after the war reach a million.
The South wants no division of the big
steal. 1t would rather check the rob
berry, while denying to no worthy pen
sioner his or her allowance.
1t may be uncharitable 10 say 50, but
one can hardly escape the suspicion that
this proposition to pension eN-Confeder-
ates is only a shrewd move to buy off
Southern opposition TO the fraud of the
century, and, if possible, organize re-
sistless national rather than sectional
raid upon the treasury.
1t is gratifying to observe that this
tone is taken by most of the Southern
newspapers. The South cannot he
wheedled by any such proposition and
the insincerity which prompted it and
the self seeking which lies back af 1t
are too self-evident To fool the level
headed men of the South.
