 Chattanooga, Tenn, May 2.-Chatta- nooga is one of the handsomest ana most enterprising cities of the south' and it has in it's vicinity that WHICH will make it famous for as many years as the republic shall live. Three great hatt1efelds of the evil war. It's greatest busines $ iron industries hut if has minor interests manufac- turing of all kinds, besides the shlp- ping of whisky to dry states, Whlch IS liable to become greater than all or US other industries combined But the great thing that makes 1t famous IS US grand scenery of mountain, plain ana river. it's cemetery where thousands or soldiers who fell in the war are buried, and the great military parks on the battlefelds where so many on pora sides were killed. Chickamauga park is an army post, and for miles around one may visit battlefields that made history. At Chickamauga Park there are hundreds of monuments erected py the government, and Dy the seNerd' states norxh and south that had sol .diers in action there, and the Confeder- ate and Union lines are so nicely ma rl<ed that one can almost fight the hattie with his eyes shut The gov ernment has the most perfect roads ail around the park, so the visitor can see every monument and every place Of interest and there are guides to tell vo, which side got the best of it. As a Wisconsin soldier, I was proud to see the beautiful monuments to regiments and batteries from the Badger state, and every view of a flag or an instru- n,ent of war caused the old nerves to jingle. and the tears to come. Going hack to town we passed along Chick amauga ridge for miles, by monu- ments and markers, showing where confederates held the fort with regi-' ments, brigades, divisions, and army corps, and monuments showing where the boys in blue came up that precipice and whipped the whole shooting match, with Grant smoking nicble cigar at orchard Knob, sherman and the rest bossing the job, and Phil Sheridan, with his short legs trying to keep up with his boys as they scratched gravel with finger nails and toe nails, going m where hell was a popping.

GET THE MONEY.

1t is rather surprising to what lengths men go
to "get the money" 1t is seemingly the one ambi-
ton of a great many who could use their time and
talents to better advantage to themselves and to
the world but whose outlook on life has been
warped by too constant admiration of the well-to-
do. To win success in business is to make money
To win success in any field of endeavor is to make
money. That seems to be the view of the world
The disclosures made in the campaign during the
past week are such as to give all men and women
cause for thought If all that has been said is true.
the worship of mammon has given to the American
government name to counterfeit the ill-effect of
which, in the public mind, will take years of vr-
tuous striving
Pride of worldly possession, which in the pres
ent day makes for social supremacy, is about the
sest pride which encompass man. 1t is
good thing to merit success, yet the vain Haunting
of that success to the envy of others who may merit
equal or greater success but who deferred from
entering into deals which promise much, including
an easement of the conscience, is far from being
virtue. There is something admirable in the man,
who, having made his fortune never deserts a
friend or whose pride of possession has not
changed his attitude toward his old companions A
man like that must devote some time to self-con-
temptation or self examination II his conscience
is clear, the habit of determination must give
him great satisfaction and deeper knowledge of
the world. Humanity is prone to bow in the pres
ence of the rich man, and yet when that same
prosperous gentleman is absent, we are prone to
belitte his accomplishments, and to say that he
would be nothing without his wealth.
In this hurrying world we are likely to look at
life in the most worldly and practical sense Sue
cess is the vain object of all our endeavors. We
measure ourselves as we measure everybody else.

said that though be made rich, or if the glory

AN IMMORAL PLAY.

On the boards of one of our leading theatres
duction of a French libertine, which is degrade
ton of cleanliness and decency The play of Ca
mile" repels even when Modieska is seen in the
role, that is to say, it repes clean minds whose Vi
sion is not clouded by sophstry and whose iudg
ment is not submerged by sentimentality.
That it presents two dramatic scenes of extra
ordinary strength-pictorial, pathetic and replete
with movement-may not be gainsaid. As play
its merit is signal and potential it arouses in
terest, holds the audience in state of mental sus-
pense and affords much scope for the art of act
ing But its subject is uncean its feeling is not
healthy and its moral drift is pernicious
The only method whereby it can be commended
to liberation, if not to acceptance on the part of
those who think as well as feel, was the method
adopted by Nine. Modjeska in her treatment of it,
Camille" embodied by the refined and great
actress is no longer courtesan. She becomes a
undetermined woman, who having erred through

to readjust herself to the conditions of virtuous
existence. She takes her stand upon the vantage

makes her appeal to that infinite charity which is
a part of the faith of the Christians
This method adroit and potent, but it was
deceptive. No matter what you do with this
drama you cannot have placed before the tribunal
of thought upon exclusively dramatic grounds It
insists on its moral. You may cry over it as Won
like, but whenever you wipe your weeping ewes and
look at what 1T means, you will observe that it
means mischief that it literally vociverates an i'm
moral significance; that by specious presentation
OF an exceptional and fictitious case of feminine ex
perience, it directly tends to pervert moral ner-
ception and to difuse loose and perncious views
of the chastity of woman.
The drift of the play is towards the conformation
of impurity, provided the woman is pleasant and
attractive. In "Camille's" fall the remembrance
OF the respect that is due to vrtuous women is for
gotten. The principles of domestic purity and per-
sonal honor, upon which, and only upon which
fabric of civilized society can securely rest are
submerged in compassion. Sense expires in sym
pathy, and everything is conceded to wild. un-

| "Get the money"
It is a problem among psychologists as to
whether we are what we make ourselves by our
thoughts. or whether our thoughts make us what
we are Whichever way the problem is decided, it
is patent that the thought and the thinker are
most intimately related Whether the self rules the
thought. or the thought rules the self, is imrna-
terial in discussion of the abuse of worldly pos
session In either case, the fact that the thought
is product of the mind whether suggested by ex-
ternal influences or not, must give to each in
dividual cause for self-examination that the evil
of the world may be placed in its rightful place,
as far as that individual is concerned. "Know
myself is most admirable advice. And to know
ourselves we must view ourselves with critical
eyes.
When we examine our friends in critical mood
