Talks of Easter Clothes.
By LAWRENCE PoRoKER HExT.

IT bought me Easter clothes to-day"
Twas Pat O'Flynn who spoke.
(which means" said Mack, "on Easter
day, we'll be drissed up an broke.
Ye bought thin clothes. ye know We
did, without a clint av cash,
An, jist becoz yer credits good, We
think yell cut a DASH
But niver mind, It's not so bad; it
comes but vance a year,
An mim'rys av sweet Easter-tide are
10th to disappear.
I've known some merchants that have
failed, have died, an passed
away,
Good martyrs av big Easter bills that
somewan couldn't pay"
"It is tn gran inspirin' sight to
sthroll tn avenooy
An watch tn Easter fashion-plates go
by on dress ltayview;
An, could We read tn hearts that beat
behind tn Easter clothes,
Ye might read hwy, pride, conceit an
jealousy-who knows?"
But still. in other hearts ye'd read
tn beat av joyful mirth;
An, to yer ears would come, perhaps,
tn sweetest sound on earth
TIL laughter av tn ehildher-they's no
SMGCIGI lluSlC ilOWS-
An all, perhaps, becoz they wore new
suits av Easter Clothes
"They's little Ellen. Jawn an Kate,
as happy as can be,
An be their merry smiles, ye'd think
that Easter clothes was free;
AS joyfully they skip along, light
hearted, side by side
'Tis sights likS this that makes us glad
to welcome ElaSter-tide."
But now, along tn avenoo, behold a
dashin' belle;
TIL Easter styles display her charms
she is a Stunnin' swell
Be shortcut sleeves, an low-cut waist,
tn public impressed,
An If she wasn't rich, ye'd swear that
she was half undressed.'
Behind her trails another star that
shines at Easter-tide;
TIL dood, that in his Easter clothes
has entered all his pride;
He sucks his cane wit hungry zeal f'r,
do We know tits thrue?
Instead av three, square meals a day,
he lives on wan an two?"
"An' Easter hats-but lave thin be-
tits not FIR me to speak
Av headgear that may well be called
millinery freak;
I'll pass thin by, they are too large
FIR me to undertake;
They've ruined men an broken laws
av nature an av state"
"An' so it goes; strange sights we see
in ivry Easter throng;
An some av thin, perhaps we think,
are not where they belong;
But, anyhow, It's not a. sin to dress
tn Dist we can,
Err daycint clothes have often been thu
maxim av tn man."
"Phwat cut av garmint." ventured Pat,
do you intaind to wear?"
"Th' Dist 1 can afford" said Mack, "av
that we needn't fear.
I'll wear tn clothes I'm wearin' now
three times a days I'll dine
Mkt month I'll buy a suit that's cut
to swim forty-nine."

of Spectator written by those pa
triots, which have since become histori-
cal, explaining the constitution and de-
Tending it against the attacks of those
who were opposed to it, it is doubtful
if that compact would have received
the support of a majority of the states,
and the results of the Revolutionary
War, might therefore have been lost
in the chaos of independent and antag-
onistic commonwealth.
Georgia was one of the first of the
states of the old confederation to agree
to the new constitution. Its people
were being constantly harrassed by
Indians, and they saw in the new
constitution a strong federal gov
eminent was their safety.
Alexander Hamilton stands fore
most in history for his efforts in secur-
ing the adoption of the constitution,
but Madison and Jay are equally en-
titled to the honor. Madison subse-
quently showed his great ability as a
statesman in his eight years occu-
pancy of the secretary of stateship
under Jefferson, and during the fol-
lowing eight years as President. John
Jay was an astute lawyer who, as
history slowly unfolds itself, grows in
fame with elapsing years, as one of
the greatest sons of the young repub-
lie.
Hamilton fell before the pistol of
Aaron Burr, the finale of a political
quarrel. Burr was unjustly pilloried
by public opinion for the fatal ending
of the duel, which he had to fight, or
see his political hopes blasted. The
ending of Hamiltons life was the first
tragic historical event that occurred
in the American republic, and his
death was heralded as that of mar
tyr to his country. 1t was simply the
result of a political controversy.
The population of Madison has in
creased 20 per cent. in ten years, and
by the census of 1900, taken by minor
civil divisions, is:

General Evans Makes Correct!Os About
Abbey.

General Clement A.. Evans, COM
handing the Confederate Veterans of
Georgia, has written q card in which
he corrects the impression that Charles
Broadway Rouss would not pay $780,
600 to the Battle Abbey. Gen. Evans
says:
Editor the Journal: The Journal
made q singular mistake Monday af-
ternoon in announcing in headlines
that the heirs Of Mr.. Rouss would net
pay his donation of S100,O 900 to the
Battle Abbey. There has already been
paid the sum of $50, 900 by Mr.. Rouss,
which is safe in the treasury at Rich
mond and the heirs Of Mr.. Kouss are
anxious TO pay the remaining $40, 600
as soon as the contributions from
other sources reach 500, 600. The
gift by Mr.. Rouss was made on the
condition that the friends of the Con-
federate veterans would raise another
$10O, 900 go as to make the whole $780,
600.
"There is yet about $40, 600 to raise
to meet this amount and the. work Of
DR.. j. NJ. Jones, who is now superin-
tendent of the Battle Abbey, is to
raise this amount and as much more
as possible. DR.. Jones is we'll known
in Georgia and all over the South, and
l feel sure he will succeed.
l fear that the statement by the
Journal will give trouble unless coy-
rected, because the Journal has q wide
circulation, and 1 will, therefore, ask
the Journal to make the correction.
Yours truly,
Clement A.. Evans.

How Texas Rangers Saved the Family
or a Buffalo Hunter.

"a short time ago." writes a CORE
spondent, II took a blackboard at
Stamford, in Jones county, which is
the northwestern Texas terminus Of
the Texas Central railroad, and drove
to Flat Top Mountain, a distance of
twenty miles, through a pasture, which
inclosed under one fence 100, 900 acres
of grazing land. Flat Top is one Of
thousands of buttes scattered irregu-
larly in that region. From it's pima

and stock r%aisers, but when I was
there, between twenty and thirty
years ago, it was a land of death and
danger.
Gin 1876, the year Of the Custer ca

then a Texas ranger. | halted at Flat
Top with n squad of eight rangers
by some strange means the Comanches
and Apaches just beyond the Texas
border, had learned Of the incident of
the Little Big Horn, and, elated with
the success Of the Sioux, the Southern
savages were bent upon massacre.
Reynolds, o sergeant, called Mage
was in command. Standing on the
peak of the butte he saw through his
telescope a string of warriors, 200 in
number, moving rapidly toward the
site now occupied by Stamford, where
a dugout sheltered the family of a buff
falo hunter. I'VE must save them

minutes seven men we're trotting to-

Popping the Question.

A bashful Irish swain wished TO
make a proposal of marriage, but his
courage failed him, and he induced
his sister to become an intermediary,
he remaining outside the half closed
door, hidden, but within earshot, to
hear the result.
Il was not favorable. The fair one
ssncily tossed her head and replied:y
"Indade, now, if I'm good enough
to be married, I'm good enough to be
axedr'
Hearing this, the anxious lover
thrust his head inside the door and
said beseechingly:
Maggie axed ye?"

IL was claimed, upon apparently

"ioFc recently the performance OF that
Important deed has been claimed for

at least, as one Of them has expressed
1t, we know that Tom killed him if
the opportunity wa; afforded him"
We have never claimed that the
Tenth Georgia regiment was present
or took any part in the firing upon
the general. Tom johnson was. at
that time, detached from our regiment
entirely. | remember something of

with two mounted Yankees in which

which he had taken from the bodies
OF his victims, but the details of that
exciting struggle are not we'll rcmcm-
bered. Tom was killed September II,
1864, while he and a companion were
attempting to return, through the
famous Chickahominy swamp, from
an expedition in the rear of the enc
my's lines. They were passing near
the edge of a dense thickct of bushes,
when they were suddenly fred upon
by a company of Yankees in ambush,
and Toms thigh was broken. lie
hoped rapidly away, on his other leg,
about forty yards, to a rail fence, and
while attempting to climb the fence,
he was shot again, through the body
and fell upon the ground apparently
dead. Ills companion made good his
escape and afterwards related to me
these particulars Of Toms tragic
death, although his name and much of
story arc forgotten.
In November, 1865, fourteen months
alter Toms death, his widow received
a letter from a man in Virginia who
claimed to have found Tom, after he
had been MORALLY wounded, picked
him up, carried him home with him,
and cared for him till the time of his
death, which occurred about twenty
four hours after he was shot. During
that time he gave the man the name
and address Of his wife, dictated a
farewell message to her and the chill
dren, and requested that it be sent
them as soon as postal Communication
should be restored.
Tom Johnson's family are still liv-
ing in Fayetto county, Georgia, near
where Tom left them.

BULGAR. GREEK AND TURK.

The Bulgarian note should compel n prompt
and radical reform of Macedonian affairs We
do not say that it must or will but that if
should do 50. Affairs in Europe, especially
those concerning the Asiatic powers in Europe
DO not always proceed as they should But it is
difficult to see how the powers can now avoid
doing something, and it is certain that if they
do not do something they will rest under an
imputatiOn of Indifference to the demands of
common humanity. AS we have already said
the question of origin may now be waived It
does not essentially matter whether the uprising
in Macedonia was artifcially provoked by Bull
garian brigands was the spontaneous revolt
OF an oppressed and outraged people. 1t is not
essential whether the hideous array of Turkish
atrocities reported by the Bulgarian Govern
ment were committed by way of reprisas or
through sheer wanton lust of barbarism. What
is essential is that such occurrences shall be
stopped and the state of affairs under which
they are not only possible, but at intervals prac-
tcally inevitable. shall be altogether reformed
What is doubtful is the best means of effect
ing such reform 1t would be best if Turkey
would herself voluntarily effect it. but that. we
may be sure. she will not do. Then Macedonia
must be taken from her. or the local admins
trailon OF 1t must be. and given into the hands
OF those who will do so. But how? The Mace
DOMAIN insurgents are not able to win their in
dependence. Neither is Bulgaria able to secure
II for them. If all Macedonia rises in revolt
and Bulgaria makes war on Turkey In its aid.
there can be only one ending Of it. Turkey
VIII win. The only hope of relief. then lies in
foreign intervention. and that means the inter
Fentlon OF some or all of three powers. Austria
hungary, Rumania and Russia of which the
hrst two are directly and legtimately concerned
in the matter and the third insists upon intrud-
ing into it. We may confidently assume that
Austria Hungary and ,Rumania will act To-
Gether and also that il any one Of the three
acts all three will do so. We NAV be sure TOO
that not one OF them now wishes a war mr. will
resort 10 force If it Is possible TO avoid il. II
should be possible TO avoid IT, It is scarcely
conceivable that Turkey would defy the united
demands Of those three powers
Tie situation is seriously complicated bv the
attitude Of Bulgaria. That country has long
been posing. as ii is today. as the especial
champion of Macedonia. and it calls the Chris
tians of Macedonia ali Bulgarians There is a
strong suspicion that Bulgaras interest In
