ex.federal captain of the federal army
today is looking after the Confederate
dead at Camp Chase. They OF both
sides were true Americans, they fough'
for convictions they believed sacred and
such conduct is unexplainable even to
their enemies. The speaker 10 closing
again alluded to General Lee 10 the
most fitting terms and finally took his
scat amid storm of applause.
"The Confederate Soldier" was the
next toast, and it was most happily re-
sponded to by Hon. II. M. Benton, of
Missouri. His "reminiscences of war
times were very interesting, and the
sincere conservatism manifested by the
speaker was feature none who were
present will soon forget. His personal
observations as Confederate soldier 10

and the statement that in bis own State
there were joint reunions of Exon

listed in that part of the country at

pleasant anecdotes which we're much
enjoyed by the company. Mr.. Benton
In referring to the alleged embalmed
beef furnished soldiers during the Span
ish war said the embalmer could not
have forced his instrument into some
of the meat issued to the Confederate
soldier. The latter, however, was
fighting for principle, and his bill Of
fare was Q secondary consideration. He
often fought with his heart in his

the speaker said dis mother was born
in Alexandria and the dust OF his grand
father reposes in Christ Church yard.
Colonel Beasley, whose pleasant an.
ecdotes at the last banquet are we'll re-
membered, followed. The Colonel was
at his best and for some time kept the
company amused by his inimitable
manner and pleasant words. In some
portions of his speech he was pathetic,
especially 10 his reference to the Con-
tolerate soldier, while some of the in
stances of heroism ne recounted were
thrilling. He told of one w. J. o.
borne who picked up a smoking shell
and threw it over the rsmparts of
fort. The writer in this connection
will say that the same is told OF brave
Alexandrisn, now deceased. The late
Captain Thomas Travers, who was in
the Confederate naval service during
the war, was at one time somewhere
on the Mississippi when shell fell in
fortiHcation where he was stationed
and failed to explode. 1t is said the
captain picked it up as quickly as pos
sible while it was smoking and threw it
into the water. The speaker in clos
ing referred to the war in the Trans
vaal, and announced his sympathy for
the English. saying that, right or
wrong, America should take the side of
the mother country, as should Great
Britain once be crushed by the nations
of the earth the next move would be
against the other Euglish-speaking
country.

The popular idea expressed in the
phrase, cthe art of self defense" !" shows
the opinion that the chief enemies man
has to defend himself from are visible
and external. But the real danger OF
every man is from minute and often in
visible foes. II the air we breathe aud
the water we drink are countless minute
organisms leagued against the health Of
the body.
The one defense against these enemies
is to keep the blood pure. DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery thoroughly
purifes the blood, removing poisonous
substances and accretions. When the
blood is pure there is no harborage for
the germs of disease which find lodg-
ing only when the blood is impure and
corrupt. .-.
