NEW SEAL FOR ALABAMA.
1t Is Proposed to Honor on II One OF the
Heroincs Of the Onf edPracy.

New ORLEANS, Sept. 19.-Alabama pro-
poses to introduce a new method OF per-
petuatinp the memory Of the Confederacy.
The plan is to engrave on the great seal
of the State one Of the most picturesque
scenes Of the war. This will involve the
glorification OF a young woman.
Alabama has possessed its present seal
for eighty-four years, ever since lis ad-
mission to the Union. l. is inconspicuols
and like a dozen other State seals shows
the American eagle and shield, with the
motto Here We Rest said to be the mean
inc of the In liam word "Alabamons" from
which the river and the State were named.
When the Constitutional Convention met
in Alabama two ears ago propos-
ton TO change the great seal oil the State
was made but was voted down, 1t has been
brought up again before the Legislature,
with every chance of success. What gives
the project strength is the fact that it is
proposed 10 commemorate on 1t an event
Of the civil war and to do honor to an Ala
bama heroine, Miss Emma Sansen, who
at the risk of her life saved FORESTS COM
mand at Coosa River in 1853.
In 1853, after a brilliant campaign Forrest
/, ~ rong army sent under Col. A. d. Streight
10 destroy Gen. Bragg's communication,
The credit for that victory Forrest himself
conceded to young girl
When Forrest reached the Co0sa River
he found the bridge over that stream de-
stroyed; his force was not only prevented
from advancing but was in danger. The
river was 100 deep TO wade; ana he had
| abandoned the undertake. ~ impossible
| when a young girl Of eighteen stepped up
| and told him that there wa ford, gen.

Her act saved FORESTS command and

Excess.

Men strive for money the whole year long
IT Is hard TO win and easily spent:
II oft does good and as often wrong.
And gold alone cannot bring content.
Love is the song youth loves to sing.
And sweeter song man knoweth not;
But to eat one dish Is a tedious thing.
And love alone does not boil the pot.
Ambitions steed that bears amain
To fame. position, glory. wealth.
But a w,lful charger that hates the rein,
Vaultlng ambition. o'erleaps ITSELF.
War Is game kings love to play.
And glory Is his who wins the night:
Does the victor think. at the close OF day
Ofthe warrior slain and the Widows plight
Wine rests the weary and warns the old.
Wit follows the bubbles that crown the feast;
But 1t eats the rain and drinks up gold.
And the slave OF drink Is an utter beast.
Lie Is delightful In It's spring.
And It's summer is sweet while joys are rife;
But how of the winter the swift years brfng'
There Is nothing so sad as too long life.

Tennessee is to be added to the num- Der of states amending their constitu- tions. The present constitution of Ten nessee was adopted in 1873, succeeding the readmission of the state to the union, in February, 1870 Between the close of the war and the adoption of the constitution of 1873 the government of the state was practically in the hands of the residents of the mountain districts Of east Tennessee, a very con- siderable number of the voters of other parts of the state being disfranchised. With the restoration of suffrage to all parts of the state, the adoption of a new constitution was made possible. and it is this constitution which it is now proposed to amend. In a number of particulars it is thought to be anti quated and in some other particulars easily susceptible of improvement.
