emancipation and not because the sen
timent of all, or even the majority, OF
its people favored the institution. No
one can read the history of this sec
ton without seeing this. But the lit
tie school stories signally fail tc
give facts.
It is interesting, in discussing this
matter, to read the following editorial
from the Washington Post. The facts
it gives may be genuine news even to
many Southern readers:
The attitude of most of the great
generals of the Confederacy toward
slavery is set forth in a recent book,
the writer showing that the men who
led the cause had little at stake save
principle. Robert E. Lee, it is assert
ed, never owned a slave, except a
few inherited from his mother all of
whom were emancipated by him long
before the war. Gen Joseph E. John
ston owned none, and regarded the
institution unfavorably. Gen A. p
Hill owned none, and Gen. j. e. B.
Stuart inherited one and purchased
another, but disposed of both before
the war Fitzhue Lee owned none,
while Matthew r. Maury owned but
one, woman, who remained in his
service some years after the war
Maury said the institution of slavery
was curse"
According to the author, even
Stonewall' Jackson owned but two
slaves, a man and a woman, both Of
whom he purchased at their own soli-
citation. He told them that they could
purchase their freedom by saving their
wages and reimbursing him for thier
purchase price. The man did this, but
the woman preferred to remain in the
service of the family.
The story strongly supports those
who have always contended that the
South fought for principal rather than
the fortunes tied up in slaves. 1t
makes it clear that the generals who
led the cause we're certainly inspired
by anything but selfishness

THE DECKAROO'S TALE.

CDeckaroo in lake parlance means
deckhand.)
Harry Kemp, in the American Mag.
Have you ever heard the story of our
patriotic crew,
And OF the battle that they fought the
other side the 500?
You haven't? Well, I'll tell you; it
was thus the war began
Half of US were Americans, and half
Canadian,
And each began, with rising voice, OF
his own land to brag,
And each one offered insult to the
other fellows flag.
Then, as our words grew louder. sud
denly there filed the air
A cup, a spoon, knife, plate, and
other tableware.
And before a fellow might count ten
much blood was flowing free,
And all the old things came to life
that long had ceased to be.
Said the captain to the blue-eyed
mate, Go stop that silly row."
And the mate came rushing down the
deck, length of hose in tow,
And met the coal-black stewart COM
ing forward on the run,
And asked him what it was about. and
how it had begun.
Said the shine, Deere arguin' nations, .
in gasping accents faint,
Some hold one country am de bes' an
oders hold she amt
The mate he fetched a knowing grin
and turned the water on
And played it on US patriots till sense
began to dawn;
And soon we slipped away like snow
ashamed of what we'd done.
And ceased to boast of conflicts dire
and battles lost and won.
Thus Canada defeated was. ana also
U. s. A,
For the first mate was an Irisbman-
and Ireland won the day.

SOUTHERN GENERALS NOT SLAVE
OWNERS.

Many erroneous ideas still prevail
IN the North as to slavery, due in a
large measure to the fact that the
small school histories, from which
the people at large have obtained the
bulk of the Observation-Disclosures, or
misinformation that they possess, fail
to give anything but a meagre, and
frequently misleading, account of the
institution Not one studying these
histories would obtain any other idea
save the white men of the South were
all large slave owners, living in idle
ness and luxury, whereas, as a matter
of fact, but a comparatively few of
them owned more than a very few
slaves, and a great proportion owned
none at all. In Georgia the number
of plantations on which there were
any large number of slaves was very
limited. The average number held on
the plantations Of this state we be-
lieve, was about eight, a family or
two In Georgia, as in every other
Southern state, there was a pronounce
ed sentiment against slavery among
many of the leading men. 1t is now
accepted as beyond question, by all
but the most prejudiced men, that
left to itself the South, unhampered
by abolitionists, would itself have
evolved a system of gradual enamel
patton. It was the continual nagging
of the extremists of the North, the
continued encroachments upon the
reserved rights of the states, the pill
ing Of fuel upon the sectional flames,
that prevented this Slavery, as a
matter of fact, continued in the South
because of the difficulties surrounding

The men. Is is usual, were tied to-

From Shansi there now comes a pathet'

breaking, and the consequent punishment.
In the region north of Fen-Shou-Fu (Shan-
si), the people are very poor. When they
planted wheat, the income from their
small farms was not sufficient for the
years expenses. They knew that If they
PLANTED The POPPY. their income would be
greater. They also knew that it was
against the law, as the Chinese govern
ment is fighting the opium traffic; but in
their straits they decided that they must
grow opium. So they banded together,
thinking if every one planted 1t, the al
thorities could not do much in Furnishing
them. They started planting and retribu.
ton followed quickly. An official with a
hundred soldiers went to the cillage and
shot down SO men, and told the rest he
