I THE BUTCHER BIRD.
It Keeps Store of Slaughtered Wrens
for Future Use.

" N0epS a store OF Sidu9ntSrSu WTSHS
for Future Use.
The butcher bird is the only Austria
lian bird which takes thought for the
morrow. It keeps a store Of slaugh-
tered wrens and tomtits in any old hol-
low 1t can find and looks up the pantry
whenever the commissariat depart
ment requires attention.
Once when the writer was with a
fencing party, a couple Of butcher
birds came round the camp and got
quite tame. One morning we amused
ourselves by cutting up some raw
meat into chunks, and hurting the
same in the direction of the butchers.
They fielded them and flew with them
into the scrub.
A hundred yards from camp was a
tree which had been wrecked by a
high wind, leaving a splintery break
The splinters were tastefully decor
ated with the fragments Of beef The
supply didn't all disappear for nearly
a week. During that time other birds
occasionally came and looked at the
meat; but the butcher birds were
watching their stock Of hung prov
ender, and nothing smaller than a
ZION would have taken it.

stifed no longer! Every impulse Of
my nature, every fiber Of my being,
every surging emotion Of my soul
clamors for utterance! Sensible as I
am of my own unworthiness, realizing
to the. full the presumption of which
I am guilty in daring to aspire to your
hand. l have no excuse, no palliation,
save that with the deathless, fnextin-
guishable devotion of a heart never
before touched by the sacred fire, l
love-

maiden, why will you persist in max
ing those utterly useless noisesr'-

HICKORY TREE a MONUMENT.
II Marks the Grave of an Admirer Of
President Jackson.

II Marks the Grave of an Admirer OF
President Jackson.
In the Baptist graveyard at Cam
ton, near here, lies the body Of an old
Revolutionary soldier named James
Sayres. A rude, unlettered sandstone
marks his grave, but a more conspicu-
GUS monum emit is large hickory tree
the trunk of which, three feet from
the ground, measures fifty-one and
half inches in circumference
James Sayres was an ardent adj
Mirror of Andrew Jackson, so often
called "Old Hickory" from the char
acter Of being so unbendiag in any
cause which he believed to be right.
Mr.. Sayres always wore a spris of
hickory Tia his breast on training
days, and before he died a1rected
that hickory tree be planted on his
grave. THIS was done. and after tho
tree attained proportions deemed I'm.
suitable to adorn a grave it was dug,
up. Another tree sprang, from the
roots left in, and this in time was also
dug up.
When third tree appeared, with a
persistency in a good cause worthy
Of emulation, relatives of the deceased
directed that it be not disturbed.
Hence the tree Of large proportions
shat annually showers its nuts over
the save of the deceased admirer Of
.Old Hie.osx''.

THE JEFFERSONIAN.

General G.. T. Beauregard, who succeeded
General Albert Sidney Johnston on the battle
field of Shiloh, April 6, 1862, upon the death
of the latter, gave promise in the early stages
Of the war of career of the most distin-
guished character. He commanded the Con-
federate army in the first big battle Of the
war-Manassas or Bull Run, in July, 1861
until General Joseph E. Johnston arrived and
there was general impression that he was a
man Of superior military skill. After his de-
feat at Shiloh he was placed in command of
the defenses at Charleston, South Carolina,
and there remained until the summer Of 1854,
when he was given command Of the defenses
at Petersburg, Virginia. After the battle Of
Chickamauga, in September, 1862, he outlined
a plan for the concentration Of large Con-
federate army in Georgia, for the purpose of
getting in rear Of the Union army at Chatta-
nooga, and marching through Tennessee and
Kentucky When the remnant of Hoods
army, which escaped from Thomas at Nash
vile, was rounded up General Beauregard was
given command Of it, and he was at the head
Of small force in North Carolina when Johns
ton surrendered to Sherman.

SOME CONFEDERATE COMMANDERS.


Judging by the war records, President JEFF
ferson Davis was ''good hater," and that
doubtless accounts for the fact that General
Joseph e. Johnston, one Of the ablest Of his
generals, was not given such opportunities
to distinguish himself as his high character
as soldier warranted, for the two quarreled
early in the war, and were never afterwards
on friendly terms with each other. General
Johnston confronted General Mcclellan in the
Peninsular campaign in 1862 for short time,
but was compelled to give up command on ac-
count Of being severaly wounded. An over
whelming public demand constrained Mr.. Da-
Wis to put Johnston in command Of the Con-
federate army in Georgia after the defeat Of
Bragg at Chattanooga, but the task assigned
hin-that Of holding in check an army of
double the size of his own and much better
equipped, under command Of Sherman-was
one which no man could have successfully car
ried out, and when he was finally driven with
his entertainments at Atlanta, President Davis
was swift to relieve him and put General j.
b. Hood in command, July 10, 1864. When
Sherman with his magnificent army Of veteran
soldiers appeared in North Carolina in March,
1865, there was great CONSERVATION in the
Confederacy, and again the head Of that gov
eminent, against his own desires, was COM
PEELED to restore Johnston to command in a
desperate effort to stay the progress of his
old antagonist, and here Johnston's military
career ended. He had taken part in the first
battle Of Manassas and had fought with Sher-
man at Jackson, Mississippi, just before
Vicksburg was invested, but on neither oc-
casion was his service conspicuous.
General Stonewall Jackson does not figure
prominently in the official records. He was
prominently fighter and not writer Of
orders or Industrious in correspondence It
would appear that he was not popular with
the Confederate army at the outset, but his
extraordinary ability as a commander soon
made itself felt and he became the idol of the
South, and second only to, Lee in the affections
OF his men. He always commanded infantry,
but he had faculty Of marching his force
with such remarkable swiftness that he was
constantly making his appearance in the Un-
ion front at places and times entirely unex-
pected. His men styled themselves "Jack-
sons Foot Cavalry" and there is pathetic
suggestion Of long, dusty marches; Of pierre
ing rays Of the sun; Of WEAKNESS of body and
spirit, and Of tender consideration for his
soldiers, in his last words, after receiving his
fatal wounds at Charlottesville: "Let us
cross over the river and rest under the shade
Of the trees" The death Of this great SOL
