An Old Man Eloquent.

Rev. DR.. B. M. Palmer, of
New Orleans, is one of the most
remarkable men Of the generation,
or rather the generations, in
which he has lived.
He is now a very old man, far
past three years and ten,
we'll up in the eighties. Though
he has been physically feeble for
several years past his intellect
ual power seems unabated. For
more than half a century he has
been famous as one of the most
eloquent men in America, and his
address at the Confederate vete-
rams reunion last Tuesday proves
that he still holds sway ove the
minds and hearts of men.
The address was a masterpiece
and will be long remembered. In
commencing the organization of
the survivors of the Confederate
army and their annual reunions
he said:
cit is thirty-fve years since
the Confederate wal was closed,
and about thirty-nine years since
it was begun, and it is sometimes
asked why we should stir the
ashes of that ancient feud, why
we should not bury the past il
it's own future. To this question
comrades, we return the answer
with a voice as loud as sever
thunders because it is history
because it is our history and the
history of our dead heroes, who
shall not go without their fame
AS long as there are men who
wear the gray they will gather thu
charred embers of their old camp
fires and in the blaze of these re-
unions tell the story of the mar
tyrs who fell in defense of coun
try and of truth"
This is a noble thought SUI
perbly. expressed. It is to b
hoped that Dr.. Palmer has pre-
served the manuscripts of his ia
