Boynton lias written from Washington to his paper, the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, of a conversation which took place in Rich mond during the recent Lee monu ment unveiling ceremonies. He s.iys that the failure of the Northern people to build a monument to Gen. Grant was under discussion, when one of the Southern gentlemen, an ex-Confederate, declared his willingness to con tribute 20,000 as an individual fund to a monument to be erected at a cost of $1100,000 by ex-Confederate soldiers exclusively to the dead Federal chief tain. So favorably was the proposition received that within a few min utes $.")0,0(M) was raised by those pres ent as a nucleus upon which to raise the desired amount. In tho statement made by and upon tho authority of a Republican ex Union soldier, in a partisan Republi can newspaper, there is much for tho consideration of tho North and of the world. Tho Southern people camo homo from tho war absolutely destitute, their homes burned or falling from neglect, their cattle destroyed, their fields unfenced, no money, no mark ets, confronted by foes from without and overrun in the management of lo Cii! affairs by a horde of political vam pires more horrible than all the arm ies of Grant and Sheridan and Sher man. They came homo and found the future as black as the present was ter rible. They found that their children wero growing up in illiteracy, that their States were debt-ridden and that taxation was piled up mountain high upon them. They found their Blaves made their political equals, nnd, in cited by bad men, attempting social equality. They found prejudice as bitter as prejudice could be, and that in all the land no comforting words or helping hands wero extended South ward. But with all this, what did the Southern soldier do he, who had fought with Albert Sidney Johnson at Shiloh, with Stonewall Jackson at Chncellorsville, and with Robert E. Lee at Gettysburg and through the Wilderness and about Richmond? Did ho despair? History is ready now to niiMwer (lint he did not, and later his tory will thunder a negative down the ages. This same ex-Confederate solJer faced the ordeals mentioned above, and with a counigo which no General ever saw equaled in battle ho fought his way through the terrors of a long and awful reconstruction and won the victory. He patched up his old home, ho rebuilt his fences, he tilled his soil until, within a very few months after Appomattox, the smiling fields, the new orchards and the-white-wosbed fences, proclaimed tha; the war was indeed ended. He educated his chil dren and supported his wife and do pendent kin, whom the tragedies of the war had left as n additional bur den upon his hands. He paid off hi own debts, redeemed hi? S:ate from Infamous rulo and afterwards met its obligations. He gradually amassed wealth and political power and his old 80ci.il status. And with all that, none of which eamo by outside help, he hemmed in old Confederate burial grounds with neat, white fences, erect ed white wooden slabs to mark the places of individual burial and has built to the grand dead heroes who led the Confederacy monuments of mar bio and of bronze. And now this same Southern soldier is building railroads and opening coal and iron and marble beds and is building factories and grand cities. Yet all this while this same poor old soldier has never ceased to revere the causo for which he suffered all and which he knows was lost, but never for one moment did he sink his man hood or compromise his independence, In the meanwhiile the victorious army is burdening the government to the extent of $100,000,000 every year in the itaine of pensions, while Grant Bleeps without a monument in the city of New York. The people of the South will do what long since a generous public on ihe other side of the fatal line should Jiave done. They , estimate greatness in foe as in friend, and they will build 4,0 Grant such a monument as will properly perpetuate for his posterity tho grand qualities which will make his namo immortal. The poor, de spised Southern soldier will put it side by side with that erected to Lee aicd over both will blend the two opposing flags, the stnrs and bars of the Confed eracy and the stars and stripes of the Union, the one dead forever, the other ours by virtue of patriotic adherence. neither affected by the presence of the other, both gracefully expressive of disappeared bitterness and a regen erated nation. We'll build your monuments. Sixteen Poisoned. The Second Baptist church and " Snnrlrn school cave a picnic yester day, says the Nashville Banner of the 13th, near the city. Among other re- freshments served during the day was a large quantity of ice cream. All who partook ol the cream were tasen sua denlv and serious V ick. l'hysictans were called and rendered medical at tcntion. Sixteen children and ladies are still in a very critical condition and some of them cannot recover. The cream had been standing for two day in the freezers and had absorbed ace tate of copper, which caused such dire results. The firm which made .the cream hus been threatened with vio lence and lawsuit. Plonlclng at "Rock House' Cave. Editor Comet: A party of young people visited that unique and pituresque cave, the "Rock House," one day last weekonapicnic ing excursion, and aa the scribe was an humble member of the party, he can say that outside of the bumps and bruises received in exploring the dark and rocky caverns and narrow passages of the cave, a more enjoyable holiday was never spent. After arriving at the mouth of the cave, which is surrounded by beautiful woods, the party concluded they would take a' ramble. Charley thought per haps it would be etiquette to Carrie one of the young ladies, but after seat ing himself for a time in imagination and soliloquizing, he silently Woflbrd his hand.and thusly they ran from rock to rock. George, not wishing to be be- lind his elder brother in gallantry, and hearing another young lady wish ing for some one to assist her over the hard places, ai she sang out in a clear soprano voice, "Who shall it be?" Dora' me," echoed the rock on which which George had placed his pedal ex tremetie8. " 'Signon'," said a voice close by, and "Alice." George's hands were clasped by a young lady on either side, and up the hill, like Jack and Gill, they wended they way. After rambling till dinner time they all assembled near the mouth of the cave and partook of a bountiful re past, which was served from snowy cloth spread on a grassy mound. "'Ten- see' Mississippi?" squeaked a voice that seemed te emanate from a Camp bell near by. "No, but you can sit by her if you won't make so much fuss about it, and I'll 'Sue' you if you look at her too sweetly." "Oh, sister, don't bo so arbitrary with him ; he's young yet, you know," said a voice close by, and thus admonished, allfell on the viands with such force that it seemed as if a Kansas cyclone had visited them. The twelve baskets remained, but there were no fragments to fill them. After dinner the party, which had been increased by some new arrivals from the city, assembled at the mouth of the cave to have a photo, taken. This operation was at last successfully performed by Miss Sinon, although several, including "Crum-ley," down to rest, and one young gentleman said he picture, because he was in it, but the 'Millers" were so thick there will un doubtedly be a blur on the "West" sido of the picture. Phil, said he wanted his picture a "Mild-red" tint The party then started by twos to explore the cave, but some, more timid than the rest, dared not explore the 'rough and perilous way," and re mained seated at the mouth. "Miss "'Lips-comb' in," said a voice as Tom planked himself square in front of the entrance into one of the ante-cham bers and imagined that he swung the door of some ancient castle back on its binges, and she came. Those who had not preceded followed suit, and soon all were in what is known as the 'Singing Room," where, at the sug gestion of the writer, several selections were sung with more noise than met ody. If John Howard Payne had heard the manner in which "Home, Sweet Home" was sung, he would have conclued that all the "Paynes" taken in its composition were in vain Another photo, was taken of the group inside the cave by the aid of the flash light, and then the parties again sought the surface. One young gen lleman who had been to Florence all day had just returned by telegram and was awaiting and duly congratulated on his safe return. The party then retired to a house near by and rented the front porch for a short time. Several were called on to make speeches, but none respsnded, and finally one of the leading young men was captured and taken to grindstone to sharpen up his intellect. but the crank failed to turn, and thus we were deprived of hearing the orator orate, for which one of the party at least was exceedingly thankful. This being the last item on the'program all wended their way homeward with the unanimous thought, We will do so again in the near future. Escaped Damages. Pittsburg, June 13. An Ebens burg (Pa.) special says: Notwith' standing that a year has elapsed since the flood at Johnstown, in which thousands of lives were lost and mil lions of dollars' worth of property de stroyed by the bursting of the dam of the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club, no suits, either criminal or civil, have been brought against the club in the Cambria County Court as threatened just after the terrible dis aster. A short time after the flood a fund was raised in Johnstown for the pur pose of making a test case against the club in the courts here. The case was placed in the hands of several of the Johnstown attorneys and the legal as peels of the case considered by them but nothing was ever done. It seems highly improbable at this late day that the club will ever be prosecuted. at least by the sufferers in Cambria county, for maintaining the fatal dam Some men's names are of no use to them at all. A Russian by the name of Pietzhkjoffgi tumbled off a scaffold in South Dacota. How a name like that could help caching in the planks is an inscrutable mystery, and yet its owner fell one hundred fect and was so shaken up that he confessed the de tails of a Nihilistic plot.

It is not enough that the cxaniner knows nothing against a candidate ; so bring certificates from teachers or oth ers with reference to earnestness, in telligence, and good moral character. W. A. Ramsey, Supt. Johnson City Schools. The Shlrtlet. To enter the domain of feminine fashions is to tread on ticklish ground, but the Gossiper of the Nashville American rushes in where bolder men fear to tread. He devotes half a col umn to the feminine shirt, "In my humble, masculine opinion," he says, "these female shirts in which it is now the prevailing fad or fashion or mania or what not to enshroud the upper half or such like of our beauti ful women are about the cutest things I have recently run right square up against. They are not only cute, but they are what cute may be construed to mean. They are beautiful. They are ravishing and chic and altogether sensible. They are terribly effective, too, and a man who can see one of these sure enough good-looking girls in one of these sure enough good- looking shirts and not feel his little old heart thumping away like the ef forts of a great locomotive to get a move on itself is not more than half a man. The other part of him is wood or stone or brass or something worse. These girl shirts are nice things. There's only one objection a man can find to them. They show how much more beautiful a shirt can be on a woman than on a man. Take one of these girls just as she comes out with her fresh shirtlet and her hat, mascu line in pattern, and her necktie and her studs and cuff buttons, and then ebserve the jauntiness of the setting and all at once like the tumbling of a big brick wall, a new beauty and an inexperienced admiration for that of ten unmentionable garment known as the shirt, dawns upon you. I de spise certain of the many new fangled innovations in woman's garb because they are unwomanly. When I first read of the Ypsilanti horrors came upon my soul like a thousand demons and, though I never did learn its real scope and signifi cance, I proceeded with all the vigor of a righteous indignation to place my largest foot right flat upon it. 4nd then when that other garment, known to civilization of the times as pants, came to be advocated by Jen ness-Miller and her school of suffra gists, I again gave vent in a series of denunciatory spasms to my unani mous disapprobation. I scorn pants and Ypsibnti silks, and when woman as is proposed, begins to divide hex avoirdupois while riding horseback, placing half of herself on the one side other doublexstirruped saddle, and half on the other, I propose to call lustily upen the legislators, of the country to enact laws for the protec tion of the opposite sex. But when it comes to the shirt ques tion my applause will be as loud as anybody's. There is around and about this same female shirt a kind of irre sistible dash, a stunningness and a dare-deviltry that gets all up next to a man. Indeed, it nestles almost as close to the appreciative male heart as it does to the heart of the wearer. There are some garments which, as I have stated, give to femininity a mas culinity which repels, but this shirt is not one of them. I indorse and commend it from collarband to hem, wherever that may be, and from wrist band to wristband. Tr&cklaylnsr Commenced. Yorkvillt Enquirer.

The Governor Tells the Buckeves Something About Cood Old Tennessee. At the summer dinner of tho Blade of Grass Club in Cicinnati last Mon day evening there were entertained a number of distinguished guests, among whom was our own Bob Tay lor of Tennessee. The Commercial Cazette gives a racy account of the banquet from which wo take the fol lowing extracts A vivid green, four-leaf clover, fresh plucked by a lucky hand, was pinned on tho upper corner of tho nieDU card that lay beside the plate of each member of the Blades of Crass Club who sat down to tho summer dinner of the club at tho St. Nicholas last night. A half dozen deep green blades of Juno grass, fragrant and moist from a near-by suburban pas ture, lay beside tho bouttoniere of each member of the club, and the great oval floral designs made of fra grant Juno roses, intertwined with waxen-leaved smilax that gave a dash of color to the sparkling tables, filled tno dining-room ol the club with per fume. Col. L. C. Weir, as full of cheerful ness as a maxum and as witty as a Chauncy DePew, presided at the horso shoe-shaped table. At his left sat Gov. J. E. Campbell, of Ohio, and at his right sat Gov. Robert L. Taylor, the famous fiddler of Tennessee, who defeated his own brother, another fid dler and a popular Republican, for the Gubernatorial chair of the prosper ous Commonweath of Tennessee. At torney General Michcner, of Indiana, a man ot Btalwart physique, brilliant eyes and alert intelligence, represent ed me Governor ot Indiana, who was unavoidably detained at the State capital. Judge W. W. Cleary, of Cev ington, portly, gray, keen-witted and quick of repartee, represented Gov. Buckner, of Kentucky The dinner itself was perfect, and served exquisitely. The soft music of violin and harp filled the blanks be tween courses, and the sweet voices of soloists gave a dash of vocal color to the songs of the night. This is the legend of the club that started at the diners from the second page of last nigth's menu : "And he gave it for his opinion that whoever could make two ears of corn or two blades of grass to grow upon a spot of ground where only orie grew before, would deserve better of man' kind and do more essential service to his country than the whole race of politicians put together." Gulliver's Travels. When coffee was served, and the blue smoke of fragrant cigars rose above the candles, Col. Weir, in clever and appropriate little speech introduced Gov. Robert L. Taylor, of Tennessee, while the club sang, "He's a Jolly Good Fellow." l have a grudge, and a spcci grudge, against Ohio," said Gov. Tay lor, after extending to the club his thanks for their invitation, "and this grudge against Ohio I have possessed for ten years. When I was a young man, Ohio sent a young man down in the mountains of Tennessee, and he actually beat me for Congress Cries of 'Oh, ho' ; I beat him once he beat me twice. I've been mad at Ohio ever since. I accused this young man of being from Michigan, but he denied it, and laid it on Ohio, and will never be satished until 1 get my reyenge. Laughter.

Taylor closed his speech with a clever description of tho natural and acquired advantages of Tennessee speaking with emphasis of tho great mineral resources of tho Stato, refer ring to tho fact that on the south side of the Valley of Ttinnesseo stretch 100 miles of unbroken fields of iron ore, hematite, magatite and specular, whilo on the north sido of tho samovallev there is an unbroken vein of coal, with iir.estone in the centre, and over all rich virgin forests of valuable timber.
