THE following letter, written by

THE following letter, written by
Southern grandmother, of Bates
vile, Miss, to the secretary of the
entertainment committee of the
Memphis Reunion, we consider well
worthy of reproduction. 1t recites
facts that should never be forgotten:
"Dear Sir have read with in-
terest the extensive and elaborate
preparations being made by Gen.
@. w. Gordon and the various com
mittees for entertaining the Confed-
crate veterans, their sponsors and
maids of honor, and even the negro
cooks, and yet the wives OF the vet
Grams have been wholly ignored.
Our husbands are to be royalty en-
tertained in companies, in public
halls, where twill not be proper to
take their wives, and shall we be
left in the streets with no place to
shelter US, no special committee 10
whom we are authorized TO look for
recognition. The men are not the
only survivors of the Lost Cause
who labored, made sacrifices and
suffered. Their wives spun, wove.
went into the forests for roots and
bark with which to dye the cloth,
made the garments for themselves,
their husbands and the entire fami-
ly; superintendent the farm, wore
home made straw hats, drank rye
coffee, and Oh! horrors of horrors!
drank boneset tea as a substitute for
the real; and used lye soap for ablu-
ton, burnt cobs and used the ashes
for soda, and salt was a luxury to
many unknown. Home rations were
oftimes less dainty and not so
abundant as army rations. Are we
not due some considerations? We
have not been invited to standing
room on the streets to view the i'm
mense procession of those expensive
vehicles provided for the numerous
generals and their stats, the six OF
eight thousand sponsors and maids
of honor, gay butterflies of fashion,
who know nothing of the hardships
of war, and think more of display
ing their fine toggery than doing
homage to the veterans. Where is
this thing to end ? By another
year the veterans will have to re-
main in the back ground at home
and have a reunion of sponsors and
maids of honor, for it will tax to the
uttermost the capacity of any South
ern city to entertain them alone"

HIGH TIDE AT GETTYSBURG.

\ cloud possessed the hollow field,
The gathering battles smoky shield;
Athwart the gloom the lightning flashed,
And through the cloud some horsemen dashe
And from the heights the thunder peaIed.
Then, at the brief command of Lee,
Moved out that matchless infantry,
With Pickett leading grandly down
To rush against the roaring
OF those dread heights of destiny.
Far heard above the angry guns,
\ cry across the tumult runs
The voice that rang throue h Shiloh's wood:
And Chickamauga's solitude
The fierce South cheering on her sons.
All, how the whitening tempest blew
Against the front of Pettigrew.
\ Khamsin wind that scorched and singed
Like chat internal flame that fringed
The British squares at Waterloo.
\ thousand fell where Kemper led;
y thousand died where Garnet bled;
In blindi flame and strangling smoke,
The remnant through the batteries broke
Aud crossed the works with Armistead.
'Once more in GIory's van with me.''
Virginia cries TO Tennessee;
I'VE two together, come what may
Shall stand upon those works to-day
The reidest day in history.
Brave Tennessee! Reckless the way!
Virginia heard her comrade say,
''Close round this rent and riddled rag"
What time she set her battle flag
Amid the guns of Doubleday.
But who shall break the guards that wait
Before the awful face of fate?
The tattered standards of the South
Wore shriveled at the lannon's mouth,
And all her hopes were desolate
In vain the Tennesseean set
His breast against the bayonet;
In vain Virginia charged and ragged,
\ tigress in her wrath uncaged
Till all the Hill was red and wet.
Above the bayonets mixed and crossed,
Men saw gray, gigantic ghost,
Receding through the battle cloud,
And heard across the TEMPEST loud
The death cry of a nation lost.
The brave went down! Without disgrace
They leaped to ruins red embrace;
They only heard Fame's thunder wake,
And saw the dazzling sunburst break
In smiles on GlOry's bloody facet
They fell who lifted up hand
And babe the sun in Heaven to stand;
Tney smOts and fell who set the bars
Against the progress of the stars,
And stayed the march of Motherland.
They stood who saw the future come
On through the fights delirium;
They smote and stood who help the hope
OF nations on that slippery slope,
Amid the cheers of Christeudom!
God lives. He forged the iron will
That clutched and held that trembling hill
God lives and reigns! He built and lent
The heights for Freedoms battlement,
Where floats her flag in triumph still.
Fold up the banners, Smelt the guns.
Love rules! Her gentler purpose runs,
a mighty mother turns in tears
The pages of her battle years,
Lamenting all her fallen sons

III MEMORIAM.

On May LIST, at 8:I5 p. M, the
angel of death, sickle in hand. Wis
tied the home of DR.. and Mrs. III. NJ.
Milstead, of Evansville, claiming as
his victim their precious little babe.
Since January 8th, it had been with
them to bless their home. Now it
has gone to the Silent City, waiting
to bless them in their Eternal Home.
IT'S hard TO give up such a precious
treasure, but tits. consoling to know
it is sleeping in the arms of Jesus,
where pain and suffering are no
more.
For several days it had struggled
with the whooping cough, and a
few hours before the final summons
came pneumonia took hold and all
medical skill was soon baffled.
Home is Oh! so sad without the
precious jewel, but our loss is hea-
VEINS eternal gain.
Papa, mamma, brothers, sister,
sorrow not as those who have no
hope. In the glorious Beyond,
where partings shall be no more,
where separations never come, strive
to meet the little darling gone on
before. UNCLE JIMMIE.

Beware of a Cough !

A cough is not a disease, but
symptom. Consumption and bron-
chitis, which are the most dangerous
and fatal diseases, have for their
first indication persistent cough,
and if properly treated as soon
as this cough appears are easily
cured. Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy has proven wonderfully success
full, and gained its wide reputation
and extensive sale by its success in
curing the diseases which cause
coughing. If it is not beneficial it
will not cost you cent. For sale
