In the issue of The Advertiser of eighth of this month you copied an extract from an English paper in re- gard to a recent discovery of an am cient ship which brings to mind a remarkable discovery in Alabama dur ing the Civil War.
 As we all Know the people of this section of the State were obliged to go to Clarke county to make salt during the continuance of the war. In digg- ing an excavation for ono of these salt wells there was discovered some mastodon bones and a ships mast of cedar wood with a lot Of wooden screws. These were thrown aside and covered with dirt where I suppose they are still buried.
 The mastodon bones have a well known history having been sent to Tuscaloosa They were destroyed dur ring the latter part of the war when the university was burned. As to the ships mast I have never seen any

PREPARATION FOR MEMO ' RIAL BUILDING TO HONOR
 GREAT EHIEErTAIN LEE

It was especially noted during the late annual convention of the United Daughters of the Confederacy at At lanta, that the order had spread into far distant sections of the North and Northwest. There are chapters of the Y. D. C. in many of the Northern States: and as a rule. these are capa- ble of undertakings which might stag
 ger the poorer congregation of the helpful sisterhood in some of the Southern States.
 Evidence of this has latest came from Seattle in Washington. The live Pa cifc city will hold it's A. Y. P. exposi- tion from June to November of this year.
 There are goodly number of South ern residents in Seattle. among them being several Mobilians; and there is also live and well-handled chapter of the L. D. C. under presidency of Mrs. ]. A. C. Rochester
 This lady, in connection with num- Der Gf other Southern friends, has orig mated a very practical and original memorial building, in conjunction with the A. Y. P. show. This is the erec- tion of a replica of Arlington.

Where Native. Are Truthful.

 According to Charles Mathews, an American tourist who returned Sat- urday from a trip around the world. the natives of India are truthful to a remarkable degree when they are re- quested to give the government of fcials facts as to their means or get ting a living.
 "1n the census returns at Allaha = bad," said Mir Mathews. "35 citizens described themselves as men who rob with threats of violence, 29 were how lers at funerals, 22s men said they were fiatterers for gain 25 were here ditary thieves, and 145 described them- selves as ear cleaners.
 "In addition to this remarkable list, there were nine professional false wit horses with spots and seventy six horsese with spots and seventy six makers of crowns for idols"

Badge Adopted for Patriotic Children trh n Enfn sfifutinn.

The Constitution
 Those interested in childrens chap- ters will be glad to know that the state badge of the Children of the Confeo- eracy will hereafter be that now in use by the Julia Jackson chapter or Atlanta.
 The design of this badge is shield the lower part the bar, red white ana red, the upper part a field of blue, with the thirteen stars In the center of the white stripe in gilt; the letters C. of c.
 This shield is especially appropriate for the children's chapters, as 1t re- calls the raid made by General Bank s order upon the private schools of New Orleans, when closets, desks, and, even in some cases. the persons of the chill dren were searched. and all confederate enblems were taken, books so deco rated being in many cases confscated and the heads of these schools heavily fnded. The favorite emblem of the children of the Crescent City at that time was the shield which the c. of c. has now so appropriately adopted as state badge.

 I afterwards learned that squad of Union soldiers (cavalry) had been in- formed of the route than the pontoon bridge wagons were going; they were piloted and they dashed across tho country and succeeded in cutting the wagon train off and doing the cruel work mentione above.
 About two hours later l saw man. dressed in a blue uniform, with gun in his hand, run across the road about eighty yards ahead of me. He was go- ing northwest. but he soon turned ana began to circle back towards the road. I struck a trot and the horse followed me, This was the last scare had l learned later that the mountain was full of desperate men. tories. Who would kill any one to get a. hat, coat or pair of shoes.
 Some time before the close ot the war a squad of Confederate soldiers surrounded my fathers yard. ana called for him to come to the door. II was a dark night and he would not go ont. They began to swear and threat" en to shoot through the house. My mother nut her head out of the back door and asked them to go away. Thelr reply was volley Of bullets one ou' tine through her hair.

A Tranquil Heart.

Who does not love a tranquil heart, a
sweet tempered balanced life? It does
not matter whether it rains or shines
or what misfortunes come to those pos
sessing these blessings, for they are al
ways sweet, serene and calm. The ex-
quisite pose Of character which we call
serenity is the last lesson of culture, it
is the Towering Of life, the fruitage of
the soul. 1t is as precious as wisdom,
more to be desired than gold. How con-
temptible mere money wealth looks in
comparison with serene life, life
which dwells in the ocean, as it were,
of truth, beneath the waves, beyond the
reach of tempests, in the eternal calml
How many people we know who sour
their lives, who ruin all that is sweet
and truly beautiful by explosive tenn
pers, who destroy their pose of charac-
ter by making bad blood! In fact, it is
a question whether the great majority
of people do not ruin their lives and
mar their happiness by lack Of self-con-
troll. How few people we meet In life
who are well balanced, who have that
exquisite poise which is characteristic of
the finished character!

In Memoriam.

At length unto our helpful one hath
come the vesper call!
Unto our anxious, earnest one, the peace
surprising all!
The heart that bore the burdens Of
many with it's own
Hath laid them all obediently before the
Great White Throne.
No loving glance may follow now-no
farewell word may reach;
But what of earthly vision and what CT
human speech,
While faith unerring charts the path
those passing footsteps trod-
o pure of heart! where could it wend
but toward the Courts of God?
Surely to Him. All-Merciful, by herald
Angels led,
She came whose tender mercy was as
mantle wide outspread-
The human weaklings sought its shield,
and ample room was there
For lesser brethren of the woods, the
pasture and the air.
Now thro' her lifelong efforts served to
still the voice of praise,
In deeds of love her memory lives who
sought the hidden ways,
The Masters ways! she leaned to them
as blossom bends to sod,
o white of soul! where should they lead
but to the Courts of God?

The Borrower.

The lady of the appropriations has
elevated to a fine art the subtle method
of annexing your personal possessions.
Call it not mere vulgar borrowing?
Does she ever intend to return? Do
not beIittle her lofty magnanimous ma
ture, wherein turks no mean apportion-
ing Of mine or thine; by suggesting
such thing as that such trifles are
to be returned between friends. And
are not all friends of the lady of the
appropriations who have what she re-
qulres? Your magazines, your cottons,
your books, your postage stamps, your
paper, scissors, penknife, pencils, all
are hers by divine right Of the cheer
full serenity with which she appropriates
them. Refuse her? It's impossible
when she is endowed with that velvet
tongue, those lovely eyes, and that be-
witching manner. In person, the lady
Of the appropriations is always the pref
test, cleverest, most fascinating girl
you know. It is not a game that can
be safely played by plain, common
place girl, the sort of girl you could
speak to about it.

Unspoken Words,

1,nspoken words, like treasures in the
mine,
Are vaIueIess until we give them
birth;
Like unbound gold their hidden beau
ties shine,
Which God has made to bless and gid
the earth.
How sad 'twould be to see a masters
hand
Strike glorious notes upon a voiceless
lutte,
But. oh, what pain, when at Gods own
command,
A heartstring thrills with kindness,
but is mute.
Then hide it not. the music of the soul
Dear sympathy, expressed with
kindly voice.
But let it like a shining river roll
To deserts dry-to hearts that would
rejoice.
oh. let the symphony of kindly words
Sound for the poor, the friendless and
the weak,
And He viii bless you He who struck
these chords
WIZ strike another when in turn you
seek.
