ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. 20.-Replylng
to the Confederate Association of the
Army OF the Tennessee, who are oppos-
ed 10 participating at the national G..
A.. R. 5cncampment at Chicago, General
John 3. Gordon has written the fol-
lowing letter:
"Comrades:--A resolution recently
adopted by your association at the In
stance Of General Chaleron, crlticising
certain acts or supposed acts OF mine,
entirely escaped my attention at the
time Of Its appearance In the public
press and have just seen 1t for the
first time. understand this action Of
your association totmean a formal and
public notice that you disapprove of
my participation In the blue and gray
meeting which recently occurred in
Atlanta, and also that 1t means for
NAL and public protest by your asso-
citation against my acceptance of an
invitation extended TO me by the Grand
Army Of the Republic, and By the ex-
ecutive committee of the citizens OF
Chicago. IL
Conscience His Guide
"The object Of this reply to your res
oluti6n. which you failed to send me. Is
not to call in question the right Of your
association to criticlse any official act Of
mine which does not meet your approx
al. I do; wish, however, to state kindly,
but frankly and?plainly, that my own
conscience and my own conception of
duty must be my guide in the future, as
in the past.
"As to the, courteous and cordial in
rltatIon OF both>the G. A. r. and Of the
executive committee of Chicago citi-
znns. have to;s state that greatly ap-
preciate the compliment paid me by
that invitation, and the spirit which
prompted II. Circumstances. however,
rendered itimpossible for;me to accept.
and so notified the officers and COM
mittecs nearly two months ago, but in
this connection also wish to say that
l must be the judge now and hereafter
OF the proprlety Of accepting invitations
from any section Of the country, or any
class of my. fellow countrymen.
Gao Glorious Record of the Past.
I'm order that there may be no pos
sible misunderstanding OF my position
on these and all. kindred matters. re-
peat my. sole guide must be my own
convictions of duty to this whole coun-
try and to the southern people whose
glorious record in all the past, whose
traditions dignity and honor have en-
deavored to defend and uphold at all
sections and under ull conditions.
In conclusion let 1t definitely be un-
dersto6d that so long as Providence
permits me to speak or labor, l shall
continue the efforts which have made
for thirty years in the interest of Sec
tional harmony and unity. Whatever
can do will assuredly be done for the
truth Of history, for Justice to the
south and tolall sections for fostering
our cherished memories for the obliter-
alton OF NIL sectional bitterness and for
the settlement of all sectional contro-
versies on n basis consistent with the
honor and the; manhood and the self
respect of oil. ~.

THE cu1NEsE MATcHMAKERs..

In China the matchmaker or go be-
tween is a very important factor In
domestic life. At the present moment
he may be employed in less peaceful
pursuits, but in times of peace he can
not be dispensed with. He it is who
casts his watchful eye around that he
may find suitable husbands for the
daughters of his acquaintances and
then approaches the parents with due
circumspection as well as good deal
of tact and diplomacy.
To the family of the young man he
narrates the good qualities, beauty and
amiability of a certain young girl.
Then he makes visit to her father ana
dwells upon the riches, learning and
wisdom of youth he knows.
If he finds both sides willing to consid-
er the question, he plies back and forth
between them with all the eagerness of
a man anxious to drive a good bargain.
He knows that if he succeeds he viii
get a nice little fee from each family,
and so he paints the many charms OF
the young couple in glowing terms.
He is not always truthful, and oft
times the bridegroom, who is not al
lowed to see his future wife before the
ceremony, finds that after the red cloth
and veil are removed he is married to
an ugly old crone.
These instances of bad faith on, the
part of the Ego between are very rare,
and usually he exhibits much discretion
in his matings.

There may yet linger some uncertain

There is something of a tendency
again to dispeI monotony by diversity
ing the Jokes, and some of the more
moderate varieties are undeniably
pleasing, but the newest models have
none.
A disputed point in connection with
shirts violently to the fore just now is
the question of an underarm piece. The
argument is that without an ungainly
amount of fuliness there is not suffi-
cient allowance made in the usual cut
for the raising of tae arms and that by

In dancing" continues the teacher,
every muscle is developed harmoni-
ously, and thus both grace and strength
are acquired. A lady does not need the
strength and muscles of a prizefighter
Athletic exercises are so violent that
as a rule, they destroy the delicacy and
accuracy of muscle action. A profess
sional athlete may be a fine looking an
imal, but his is muscle overdeveloped;
a dancer of the old classic school repre-
sents all needed development of muscle
and with grace in addition.
Sending children to a gymnasium is
great mistake. 1t is difficult for an
instructor in a gymnasium to determine
when the child has overeXercised and
when it is attempting feats beyond it's
strength, for all children are not alike
in this respect. I know many ladies who
viii not send their children to a gym
nasium, and l wish more mothers were
as sensible. In dancing the little ones
learn not only how to exercise their
muscles. but they learn department as
well. When l speak of dancing. mean
the old classic dancing, not the modern
round dances Schools for teaching
dancing are supported by the govern
ment both in Italy and France Abroad
a great deal more value is placed upon
this early training for ease. grace and

may be attributed the easy. deferentiai

months of hard practice I myself am

therefore there is no exhaustion on
that account
