Cen. P. Mci!lashan, first vice president of I c Confederate Veterans1 Assoeia t< II. presided at thc mectim;. Judge Twiggs begun his address w ;h a description of the defences . round Charleston, a?"! thc position j . ? the opposing l'oie.--, the Federal for?es besieging Charleston, the har :. of which wa- defended by Forts Simile;-. Moultrie. Gregg, Battery W agner and oilier fortifications. The battery was a very strong earthwork, ! cated "ii the upper end of Morris [slant!, tin- work having been con structed under tho direction of the ? est engineers of thc Confederacy. There was considerable preliminary fighting leading up to the main attack. The Federals had constructed batter ies under the direction of lien. Gil more on the oilier end of Morris Island ;:nd were preparing to make things de cidedly uncomfortable for thc Confcd * rates. Au attack on t he fort on duly II was repulsed with severe loss to thc ! Federals. Cob Charles H. Olm.stead and thc Savannah troops participated n thc defence on that occasion. Gen. W. IO. Taliaferro, of Virginia, whose death was recorded in yester day's Mnrnhvj /Veinq was in command of the fort, and Judge Twiggs spoke feelingly of his old commander. He was assistant inspector general on thc staff, of which Lieut. Henry C. Cun ningham and Dr. Joseph Clay Haber sham, of Savannah, were also mem bers. Besides thc batteries which Gen. Gilmore had constructed on the island, thc enemy had a number of monitors and gunboats in thc river, which daily shelled thc fort, and made things as unpleasant as possible for the Confed erates. Thc garrison was ?ouiposed of less than 1,500 men from North Caro lina, South Carolina and Georgia. Opposing them were thc enemy with over 0,000 men ; forty-two large siege guns in their four land batteries, and a number of S, 10, 12 and 15 inch guns on their monitors. The day was one which ho will never forget, Judge Twiggs said. Karly in thc morning bc breakfasted with Br. Harper, of Augusta, one of thc sur geons, their breakfast consisting of hard crackers and butter, thc latter being considered a treat. Their meal was interrupted by a Parrott shell, which buried itsolf in tho earth out side tho door and then exploded, throwing up a large amount of earth and filling thc pail containing thc butter with sand. It was the begin ning of tho bombardment. They foresaw that thc fort was to bc assail ed by thc entire. land and naval force of tlie enemy. The whole seventy guns of thc enemy opened, and for eleven hours the air was tilled with shot and shell of every description. Thc Confederates replied as best they could, but their armament was far inferior to that of thc enemy, and many of the:.r guns were soon disabled. Thc infantry resorted to tho bomb proofs, the roofs of which were almost torn away by the constant explosions of the sheels which fell within the fort. The wooden buildings in the fort, which had been used for officers' quarters and medical supplies, were torn into splinters. It was a hot July day. and thc men in the bomb-proefs were most uncomfortable. Gaillard's battalion, from Charleston, preferred to romain on thc outside, sheltered under thc wall of thc parapet. The blazing July sun was obscured by the clouds of smoke from thc burst ing shells. The fort shook like a ship in thc grasp of a storm. All tho heavy guns on the sea face of thc fort were soon disabled, and but for the bomb-proofs and thc parapets the gar rison would soon have been annihila ted. The halliards were cut by 'bc shot and thc garrison flag fell. A store of men ran for it at once. Four officers seized hold of it, carried it back to thc parapet and ran it up again. This occupied some little time. Capt. Robert Barnwell, seeing that thc flag had fallen, seized a regi mental battle flag, and, rushing out upon thc ramparts, held it there while the garrison colors were replac ed. Thc scene of Sergt. Jasper's ex ploit .it Fort Moultrie was in full view of this scene. "There was one Jasper at Moultrie/' said Judge Twiggs. 'There wer." a ?cor?; at Wagner." Thousand? of people at the Battery and on the housetops at Charleston writched thc bombardment with cager interest. When the garrison flag fell their hearts fell with it, for they fear ed the garrison had surrendered.

' ' Tle re wa- further applause when i lin- .-peaker alluded lo Hitzhugh Lee. who fought So well uti^-r the Stars and Lars, now nobly upholding the , honor of the Star- and Stripes at Ha- ! vana. This was followed by an clo- ! . i quent panegyric upon the Confederate j banner. \s the sun was -inking in the west the bombardment ceased, to the great relief of the garrison. The ominous | pause was well understood, however. The supreme moment had arrived. Having failed to reduce the fort hy . bombardment the enemy's entire force : was to le- hurled against it. The us sault was about Intake place, l?en. Tiiliaferrd had wiseley taken tin- pre caution early in the bombardment of removing the smaller guns out ?d' the way of the enemy's shells. 'J ney : were promptly remounted, and the ramparts manned, and the whole .sea \ and land face of the fort was lined with glittering steel. The enemy evidently supposed tho fort to have been practically destroyed by the bombardment, and they would meet with but little resistance. While the fort had been battered beyond re cognition almost and the heavy guus disabled, the garrison was still in good shape aud in good spirits. The Fed eral column was (?.0011 strong, under command of Cen. Seymour. It con sisted of three brigades rrom the 10th and Lith army corps. The column moved forward in regimental front, led by thc 51th Massachusetts, a negro regiment, commanded by Col. Robert C. Shaw. Tho Federals were ordered to usc the bayonet only. Not a shot was tired from either side as the ?ol umn advanced. There wa* an oppres sive silence, and the rays of the setting sun danced and shimmered along thc lines of bayonets. The Federals were in a short distance of the fort when they gave a cheer anJ. rushed upon it. Immediately a dead fire crashed forth. The fort was lit with flame from bas tion to bastion. Thc 1,500 rifles and thc artillery poured in a withering flame at short range. The Federal troops came gallantly on, beating against the fort like the waves of thc sea. There was a harvest of death and men fell like ripe grain before the sickle. The enemy pushed gallantly on. Hundreds crossed the ditch at thc base of the fort and many leaped tho parapet tobe transfixed with bayo nets or hurled below by the defenders. Owing to the failure of the Federal commander to allow for the proximity of the creek near thc fort the attack ing force was crowded together on a narrow strip of land between the creek and the fort. This resulted in confu sion and the crowded masses offered splendcd opportunity to thc men in the fort, thus greatly augmenting thc loss, ffhe 54th Massachusetts broke and fled, breaking the columns of the regiment behind it and thc entire bri gade rushed to the rear completely routed. Gen Seymour then ordered Col. Putman to advance to thc attack with his brigade, but he refused to do so, saying that bc had been ordered to re main where he was by Gen. Gilmore. Afterwards, however, he gallantly led forward his brigade without orders. They were received with terrible tire, but crossed the ditch, entered the fort by the southeast bastion and poured into the parapet. Another brigade I was ordered to advance, but Gen. Sey mour was shot down after giving tho order. Ile repeated the order as he was being borne from the field, but it was not obeyed. A number of Put nam's men had found refuge under thc parapet, where they defended them selves while awaiting assistance. See ing that no aid was in prospect, Put nam leaped upon the parapet, followed by his officers, and called upon his men to hold their position to the last. Ile was shot down. Ile was as brave and gallant a man. said the speaker, as ever marched beneath thc Stars and Stripes. His brigade was repulsed, andu terrible lire poured into it as it retreated. The men intrenched in thc bastion refused to surrender, however, and poured a destructive fire upon thc defenders of thc fort.

Judge Twiggs said, was never captured, but was abandoned by tin- Confederates several months later, on account of the near approach of Gilmore's engineering operation-.. Ile closed with some re flections upon th?; results of the war. "As one of thc survivors of that conflict," he said. "1 still believe tb?.' cause to be just. And yet the people ?if I he North ?'all us rebels. ! ?lo not understand cxaeily what they mean by the word "rebel.- Was Hubert E. Lee-a rebel? If so George Washing ton wa.s a most illustrious rebel.

When you ?lrop a small object on th?; lloor ' look Indiau," and you're sure to find it. Hore is tho modus operandi: Somebody dropped a stick pin in the hall the other day. and had hard work to find it. She hunted high and low aud on her hands and knees, aud with a caudle specially procured for the purpose, but it was no usc; thc pin was very tiny and unpercciva- j hie, its value being that of associa- j tion rather thau size or brilliancy. Thc somebody, after a final shake of the rugs, was just about to give- it up forever, when one of thc children chanced to come along. "Why don't you look 'Indian' for it?" he askc?l. liefere tho somebody knew what was meant, down dropped the youngster on the floor, his head and his whole body lying sidewise and just as close to the dead level as possible. In this position his eyes roved rapidly over thc floor. "I have it," he shouted presently, and sure enough, right in thc middle of the floor, in so plain a place that it had escaped notice, was the missing stickpin. The youngster then explained that "looking Indian" meant putting thc head to the ground in order to catch sight of thc smallest object between one's self and the horizon. "They do it on the plains all thc time," he said. "That's why they can always tell who's coming. Rut it works in houses just as well as on the plains. Why, we never lose anything in the nursery nowadays; we just 'look Indian' and find it right off. " - Host on Transcript. - um o mmm - - "What is the trouble, Maggio? You look worried."

Cored of Blood Poison After Fifty-Two Boaters Failed. Blood Balm Co., Atlanta, Ga. Gentlemen : In 1872 a small pimple broke out on my leg. It began eating and in four months I was treated by a physician of Talladega County, Ala., where ? lived eighteen years. Ho re Icived it for a short while. In six weeks it broke out again in both legs, also on my shoulder. Two small bones were taken out. It continued uutil 1876. In this time I had twelve different physicians. They told me the only remedy was amputation; that it could never be cured. For six months 1 could not walk a step. I went to Mineral Wells, Texas, spent 9300.00; came home; went to Hot Springs, Ark., staid nine months-all failed to euro me. In 1887 I came back to Birmingham, Ala. I was ad vised to write you, which I did. You wrote me that B. B. B. would cure mc, and I could get tho medicine from Nabors & Morrow, Druggist, of our aity. I had finished my fifth bottle my legs began to heal, and in less than two months I was sound and well. That has been nearly two years ago, and no sign of its return yet. I have spent in cash over $400.00, and B. B. B. done thc work that all thc rest tailed to do. You have my permis sion to publish this. I have traveled so much trying to get well that my cure is well known. Fifty-two doc tors have treated me in the last 17 years. All they did was to take what money I had, and done me no goad.

This process has been j adopted in Italy to some extent, where it was received with so much favor that the bakers were compelled to cut prices to meet the new competition. lt is known as thc "anti-spire" method. It is made directly from the wheat, and a great saving in the cost of manufacture is credited to it. After the wheat has been thoroughly sifted and cleaned it is subjected to a hath in tepid water for several hours. When it has thus been soaked it is poured into a machine, which reduces it to a homogenous paste. This ma chine is composed of a double line of thin spirals working in opposite di rections. By these spirals the soften ed wheat seeds are well kneaded. At the end of thc spirals is a double cylinder which receives the paste and makes it still more compact and ready f<>r shaping into loaves and baking. The quality of the bread made hy the new process is variously estimated. Rxcellcnt judges and unprejudiced practical bakers admit its excellence, and say that any taste can be suited by having due regard to the leavening, manipulation and treatment in thc oven. Italian experts who have in vestigated the matte?' express them selves favorably upon itf 'igestive proprieties and pronounce it most nourishing. In eolor the "anti-spire" bread is very brown : its odor is agreeable and taste quite palatable. A cardinal virtue claimed for it is that it never gets mouldy and will remain "fresh" for days. The bakery at Borne charges three cents a pound for "anti-spire" bread, thirty centimes per kilogramme (two pounds)-but when the establishment is opened in the morning at S o'clock workingmen may buy it for two cen times per kilogramme cheaper. So serious has the bread question become in Italy that many cities have suspended the local tax on bread and bread stuffs, the Milan authorities having arranged with thc local bakers to reduce the price of bread to thirty two centimes per kilogramme. At Leghorn such are the necessities of the poor that pality to all who ask for it. Thc applicants must, however, present themselves at designated bu reaus at certain hours and are not allowed to take the bread away with them: they must cat it in the premises without meat, cheese, vegetables or condiment.-Ph ?hui el ph in Record. - One good way to keep things moving and to lessen the talk of hard times is for every man to pay his debts so far as possible.

C., Mareil A touching chapter in the history of the dispensary law was enacted here to today. A week or more ago as a dis pensary constable was driving along the road between this city and Reedy Uiver factory, he met an old man in a wagon with his two daughters, one a widow with two children. The wagon was searched and about four gallons of whiskey were found. The consta ble brought the occupants of the wag on to town and a charge of transport ing was lodged against the old mau, Dan Ballew. It was a cold, windy day and as the old mule pulled the wagon slowly into town the women and children looked half frozen in their thin and scanty garments. The party was moving from Reedy Hiver factory, where some of them had been working in thc cotton mill, back to the old home near Glassy mountain in the upper part ol' the couuty. They were allowed to take their team, which was by law confiscated to the : State, on promising to return it, which they did. The wagon and mule has since been in a stable in this city waiting for the day of sale. Today tho wife of old Rallew and her wid owed da"fihters came to town, making the trip f 20 miles, by starting early in thc morning. As they sat by the fire in the sheriff's office in their fad ed cloaks and brown sunbonnets, it was a good subject for a character sketch. By special request of the women, who had come instead of Bal lew, who is a partial invalid, Constable LaFar agreed to sell the mule and wagon today so that they might have a chance to bid them in. Thc women thou went out to mortgage their little farm and raise the money to buy back thc team. They told a pitiful story of their condition and the old man's affliction. Constable BaFar expressed to them in a gentlemanly way his sympathy, but at the same time said he would have to do his duty in carrying out the law and the team, thc only one they possessed, must be snld at auc tion. The daughter is thc widow of one of thc Howard boys who was killed some years ago at Mountain church in one of the Sunday duels, which have writ ten the history of that section in characters of blood. They are more intelligent than many nf their neigh bors and talked grammatically but with the peculiar intonations and ges tures of thc mountain people. Thc wagon and mule were put up at auction and were bid in by Mrs. Bal low for $29.25. The officers repre senting the Slate, were thc only ether bidders.-Thc State. - He-"Nearly all the misers re ported in the papers, I notice, are single men." She-"Oh, yes, of course.
