During the singing of this song there
was general hand shaking and burst
ing up of ones feelings in general.
We thought at first that we would
just be a man and sing the song
through without giving way along
emotional lines, but when we saw a
man with wooden leg, leaning upon
the breast of a man with an empty
sleeve, and the two weeping as if their
hearts would break, we felt for our
own handkerchief, which we failed to
find, but we used our coat sleeve,
which served the purpose. The South
was forced to quit fighting, but our
people can cry in spite of all the gun
boats, siege guns, field artillery, mus
kets, swords and bayonets. We thank
God that there is to be no more blood
shed over this question, but tears will
never cease to flow as long as there is
an old Confederate soldier to relate
the story. Many old comrades who
had not met since the war, met at
Memphis, but failed to recognize each
other except by their badges. But how
their hearts we're filled with joy, when
in this way they would recognize each
other. Then inquiries would begin as
to others of the old company. Such
and such a one is dead and with
cheeks bedewed with tears they would
disappear in the great throng and you
would see them no more.
One striking incident occurred be-
tween two of our old regiment, the
22nd Mississippi, one a member of Co.
E., the other of Co. G. During the
fall of '6l, our regiment was encamped
at Memphis, and one of Co. Il. was
taken very sick near where the great
Confederate Hall was built for the re-
union. He was down with hard chill
and unable to get back to camp. A
member of Co. G. came upon him and
pulling off his own coat, warmed him
/ up as best he could, and finally assist.

If ever Memphis has cancer trouble,
we want the privilege of applying the
first plaster. The free lunches, the
preparing of which was supervised
by as fine ladies as live in Memphis,
were said to be very fine, and many
old Confederates, together with many
others, we're fed in this way. But, de-
pending upon the Bureau which in
formed us that meals could be had any
where for % and 80 cents, all of which
was true, very true, thousands of us
missed Memphis hospitality, which we
surely would have enjoyed had there
not been Bureau between us and it,
Now if Dallas can do no better next
year than to form bureau whose duty
1t shall be to inform her guests where
they can find cots for one dollar and
meals for so cents, we suggest that she
take down her sign and turn the matter
over to her sister, Beaumont, where
oil will be served on ice at reduced
rates.
We do not wish to be understood as
saying that Memphis, as a city, is a
robber; be it far from us to say any
thing like that. There are people in
Memphis as noble and true as ever
breathed Gods air, but we feel it a du-
ty that we owe the cause of righteous
ness to pay our respects to certain
combine which was formed for the sole
purpose of skinning every individual
who walked her streets during the
greatest reunion ever held on South
ern soil. We suggest that if the same
game is undertaken at Dallas next
May, that the veterans form them
selves into line and leave by platoons
as rapidly as the trains can move them.

MINISTER WI EXPLAINS THE
CHINESE RAIL WAY SYSTEM

During the sessions Of the forty-sixth
annual convention of the general pas
senger and ticket agents of the United
States and Canada, which convened at

Chinese minister, was the guest OF honor.
He was in a happy frame of mind, and
spoke as follows on Railways in China:"

ceived the invitation to attend the meet
ing of this association. stated that I
should say something about the general
passenger agents in China, the railroad
fares in China, the ticket arrangements,
the conductors cash collections, and such
other subjects as I might deem advisable.
I have the honor of being pioneer In
the railway business in China, having
helped to build the first railroad in China.
can tell you at once that an associa-
ton OF general passenger agents is I'M
known in China, and we have no need for
them. I am sorry to have to say this
in your presence.
The first railway conducted in China
was not in a thickly populated city, but
we had to penetrate the interior in order
to escape opposition and to fight the pref
udice on the part OF natives. We bought
most of our tickets in Europe in order
to avoid fraud. AS to the cash collection
by conductors. We call them guards,

Nancy had six sons and two daughters.

The movement OF cotton Is nearly a month
later than last season, as you win see
from the facts. On October LIST last. season

had been shipped from Woodbury., = five
miles from Molena and this year on Oc-
tober LIST 213 bales had been shipped and
the difference at Molena is greater than
at Woodbury.. ,,s ...
Now this don't look like the cotton had
been rushed on the market as stated in
your article of the 9Th. Since, October LIST
at Molena am told that not more 1han
100 bales have been moved and the small

an open secret that what is known as
"petticoat influence has been far too
strong about the war Office ever since the
duke of Cambridge resigned, and the po-
htical commander-in-chief has not es-
capped 1t.
There are many people who are inclined
to applaud the speech Of Mr.. E. G. Rich
ards, K. c. NJ. B., the night before last at
Northampton, who declared that If Lord
Roberts would leave bazaar openings to
Lady Roberts and take the selections and
war office reforms into his own hands.
there might be great reform at the war
office.
It is said that ever since General Butler
refused to correct his Spionkop dispatches
he has been subjected to the bitter hos
tility Of Lady Roberts, who used every
effort to force her husband to demand his
recall.
Within the last few days her antipathy
has taken fresh vent owing to his West
minister speeches. 1t is said she induced
"Bobs' to 60 to the war Office and demand
that an order be issued for General Bull
er's resignation.
Such an order was issued, but old Butler
replied with a fat refusal to resign.
Then Lord Roberts and Mr.. Broderick
put their heads together and waited for
the instant of the kings return to Lon
don to lay before his majesty the alterna-
tive Of Buffers dismissal or their resigna-
ton.
At first the king refused point blank to
countenance any such drastic proceedings.
Lord Roberts and Mr.. Broderick threat
ened to resign instanter unless a royal
mandate were issued for Buffers decapi-
tation.
His majesty used every effort to induce
the commander-in-chief to reconsider his
determination. Only when he finally dis
covered this was out of the question was
the royal consent reluctantly given to the
order for General Buffers dismissal.
