The daughters were becoming uneasy, too. Usually when these restless fits came on the girls were tactfully guided into the paths of philanthropy. “Great executive abil ity,’ ‘their mothers said they had, make scrap books for children’s hos- pitals if necessary, but they just doted on sales, When a sale was announced their subordinates drev a long breath, The mothers fell to work with a will, echoing the remark of Rosa, the cook: “Now we knows where we'se at. 1 can stan’ on my seets all day makin’ canny, an’ LE does'nt complain, but its dese yere surprisin’s dat gibs me de misery in uy haid.” The restlessness now worked itself into a fever, and as it) reached its height almost simultaneously in both girls they started on arunfrom their respective homes and met under the Linden tree on the boundary of their ancestral homes.

The fath- ers and mothers at first stontly resisted, but might prevailed. The genera: publie now knew no others. “We'll have a sale—a ‘fresh air’ sale.” Then the embryo “lady board” put their heads together and gave their executive ability full play. At night the Fathers Dawson's en- dorsement was called for. “A sale? Centainly!” what a relief. When the girls’ signal lights greeted each other from their windows, each Father Dawson started for the tele- phone. “My dear,” said Susannah’s father “resteasy. Asale is on. . They ave quite vapable of managing the Pan- American, you know, and chey can this. The servants, both men and maid, must by this time be letter per- feet.” When his turn came, Hepsibah’s father said much the same thing. The mothers embraced each other fervently. “The little dears,” they said and slept the sleep of the unwor- ried. This was Friday. Thesale was set for the next Wednesday.

In the course of his address Bishop Keiley, who was a confederate soldier, said: It is true that the gentleman who now happens to sitin the presiden- tial chair at Washington has written of President Davis: “Before Jefferson Davis took his place among arch traitors, ete., it was natural that to dishonesty he should add treachery to the public. The moral difference between Benedict Arnold on the one hand and Aaron Burr and Jefferson Davis ou the other is the difference between a politician who sells his vote for money and one who sup- ports a bad measure to get a high political position,’ When Mr. Davis was living, and a prisoner, a feliow named Miles placed shackles on him in prison, although there was no necessity, and no one but a brute would have done it, But IL have never heard that Miles, after Mr. Davis's death, brutally maligned his character—that spec s of enven- omed malice was reserved for the recreant son ota southern woman— the rough rider of republican polities at the accidency of 1002—the light: ning-change artist of the White House, who can hobnob with the Kaiser's brother and sit cheek by jowl with an Alabama negro; who can indulge in meaningless platitudes while South, on the bravery andeom mon heritage of Southern heroes, and denounce them before the Grand Army as anarchists; who can profess a broad Americanspirit which brands sectionalism as a crime and laud the oyalty of our veterans of TS0T-60 to the Constitution and reunited country, while the damning evidence of his own written words show that he compared “the noblest Roman of them all’—Jefferson Davis—to Benedict Arnold. “Jefferson Davis was a statesman, a soldier, and a man of high charae- ter, a senator, a cabinet officer, President not put in office by a bul let, but by ballot. mortal fame will rest on shooting beasts and profiting by the murder- ous act of a reprobate who shot a man,.”” Stops the Cold and Works off the Cold.
