ULYSSES S. GRANT,
"The fourth tablet contains an ap-
prOpriate extract from letter of
President Davis:
81 have often felt with poignant
regret that the Southern public
has never done justice to the
marytr, Major Wirz-he was tempted
by the offer of a pardon if he would
criminate me and thus exonerate him
self from charges of which he was
innocent and with which / had no
connection.
Respectfully and truly yours,
JEFFERSON DAVIS"
October 5, 1888.
The main inscription which recites
that Major Wirz was tried by illegal
tribunal under false charges of exces-
sive cruelty and judicially murdered,
might be improved We do not ap-
prove of any retort in kind to the
unfortunate and ill-timed inscriptions
already craven upon some of the
state centotaphs around Anderson
Vile
"A simple sentence reciting the
name Major Henry Wirz, Confederate
commander at Andersonville-W would
be enough. This, with the extracts
from Grant and Davis, would tell
the story in way which no bitter
ness could accentuate and no detec-
ton could improve

SPENT FREELY IN PROSPERITY,
speculator Scorned to Make Provision

The late Townsend Percy, specu
lator and pr moter, who made and lost
more than one fortune In the course
OF his life, used to be fond Of repeating
some of his mothers witticisms at his
expense, generally brought about by
his extravagances during his periods
Of prosperity. Once Percy had driven
four-in-hand for year, when an I'M

him to reduce expenditures and sell
his horses, on which occasion she said
to him: ...-. ... -. ..
Townsend, don't you think that it
would be better to drive one horse
four years, instead of four horses one
year," .. .... .
Another time, when on the verge Of
financial crash, Percy still owned a
considerable stable, and gave no out
ward sign Of pecuniary embarra
ment. His mother met an old friend
Of the family about this period, who
congratulated her on her sons sue

Is doing so WE'LL" said the friend.

lady. Townsend has six horses and

USED POISON OF RATTLEsNAKE.
Preparation That Made War Arrows Of
Cherokee Indians Deadly.

An old Cherokee Indian recently
gave away the secret how the Indians
OF olden times used to poison their ar
row heads for war purposes or for
killing bears, according to tine Denver
Field and Farm. They took a fresh
deer liver, fastened it to a long pole,
and then went to certain places where
they knew they would find rattle
snakes in abundance. About midday
the rattlers are all out of their dens,
coiled up In the cooking sun. The
DUCKS would poke the first RATHER
they found with the liver on the long
pole. A RATHER, unlike common snakes
always shows fight in preference to
escaping. The snake would thus re-
peatedly strike at the liver with its
Iangs until its poison was all used up
Whereupon it would quit striking and
Try Slowly to move on. The bucks
would then hunt up another RATHER
and repeat the performance, keeping
up the work until the liver was we'll
soaked with snake poison Then the
pole was carried home and fastened
somewhere in an upward position until
the liver became as dry as a bone.
Inc liver was then pounded to a fine
powder and placed in a buckskin bag.

Ih1s powder would stick like glue to
