THE PEOPLE'S JOUR VOL .-NO. 15PICKENS. S. C., THURSDAY, MAY e, 19. ONE DOLLAR A YEAR "LEE, THE PRIN( A Splendid Tribute to if Native of Gre The following address was delivered W. Austin, Esq., a native of Greenvill 1I. Austin, of Walkereville. Mr. Ausi larta, and as the orator on Memorial 1: credit. Tihe address was heard by s0ev My Friends-The minstrel of th ancient days who told in song and story of the Trojan war sings of a scene where Pandai us, an aged councillor ol Troy, standing with Cressida, his niece, upon the city's eatern battlements, looks down on Priam's legions comiog back in untamed splendor from the Dardat plain whereon they had met in equal combat with the haughty Greek, and as the serried hosts return and each successive plhalanx files within the gate, points out t) her the Trojan heroes as they pass. First comes the brave Aeneas, commander of the host, the very front and flower of Troy, and next Antenor, second in command, a warriot shrewd in tactics and renown ed, and after him, great Priam's war like and illustrious sons-there the bold Hector with his helmet hacked and battered from the blows of Agamuem ion's hosts, and then the wanton Paris, Helenus next, and now Delpho bus--and as each prince of I:'iamu's royal blood files into view, Pandarus calls his name out to his niece and rapidly recounts the style of man he is. Like wave on wave, the columns pass, and Pandarus shades his eyes and looks out oil the plain intently and more steadfastly. There is one son of Priam not yet come, the flowei of Ilium's brave. Has noble Troilus fallen in the fray ? The old man's heart sinks as his restless eyes searches the mov ing matss in vain. But lookl lie starts! a lash of joy lights up his shaggy brow, and quickly turning to his niece, his hand tiplifted to his ear--" hark! do vou not hear the people cry ' Troilus?' " And as that names rings and re-cehdes from ten thousand throats, the rear guard of the army co-es in view with Troilus at its head. Then does the old man's pent-up feeling find its vent and as his idol and great Ilium's pridu with war like tread comes on, Pandaruis cries to Cressida: ''Yonder! 'tis Troilus, brave TroJ1a-1 It pin:-Uf hiva-lry ! Look well upon him, niece. Look how his sword is bloodied and his helm more hacked than Iector's and how lie looks and how he goes." And as the gallant Troilus goes past and enters in the gate, and other warriors come on, the old man turns away and with a gesture pregnant of h's scorn cries out: "The eagle's gone I" and then descends the wall. Today, my countryimen I ask you for a space to mount with me on fancy's airy wing, and from imagination's vantage ground, look down upon the highway of the years while I point out, like Pandarus from the Trojan wall the heroes of the times gone by, as in review they pass before the sub tle vision of the mind. And firet among earth's valiant and immortal sons I call on you to tun and look upon that Spartan band that comes before our gaze, moving with measuied and unbroken step, their javelhns high in air, and brave Leonidas at their front. Silent and grimi andl noiselessly they pass while deathless valor sits enstamped on every firm sct face. They move beyond our ken, they disappear, we hear the thunder of the ages peal-'' Thermepyhae I" And fast on Sparta's fading ranks there comes another and a greater host and at its headc upon his fleet-limbed horee Blucephalus, the stalwart and puissant prince of Macedon, in regal splendor rides. The conqueror of his age, p)roud Hellas' champion, there goes by. Mark with what majesty the haughty Alexander leads his serried ranks as conscious of the prowess of that mighty rm that laid the whole world waste. With all the pomp11 and1( panoply of war, he passes on, and now is lost to view. And after him, anoth er cavalcade comes oii. We see the (lust whirl upward from the plain, and hear the rumblbng of the solid earth as trembling from the tread1 of an un numbered host. Nearer they come the dust clouds rolling back- behold I the Roman eagles flash their b)urnlished wings, and Caesar's legions sweep by in all the splendid pageant of victorous war. We hear the trumpets sound, and like great Mars himself, the con queror of the Nervii th'mders past, guiding ii ith (dauntless hand the plung ing steedls of his triumphal car, while fast behind his chnriot wheeh the countless stand~ards of impljerial Rome flame out in brilliant andh unendling lmiie. The din of Rome's receding ranks grows faint, anid in the distance (lies away, and now a souind of martiul music, loud and clear, sends other echoes flying, and signals the near ap proach of yet another host. With rythmic swinig and measuredh tramp the van~guardl of the advancing columns comes in view, and at its front we see the flag of modern France flame on the way. The flag, that flew defiant over Egypt's burning sand1s beside the ancient Pyramids, andl high above the cloudls, shone like a star, from dizzy Alpine heights-that like a bird of prey swept (hown Cisalpine slopes, laid waste the citron groves and( peaceful vales of Italy, and flapped its wings against the lurid glare of Moscow's nlame-encircled was lods on the army of Napoleon now passing in review. Ah I what a spectache as that magnifIcent array dE OF CHIVALRY.' ie Confedt rate Dead by n enville County. in Atlanta oin the 26th of April by Jame County, and the eldest 8o of Dr. W, ill is one of the leading law)i8 of At. ay he has acquitted himself with great ral thousand people, and is as fIlows : goes by! Theie passes on the dash ing squadions of that son of Mars, the peerless Ney, and Kellermiann, Mlurat and Soult, Grauchy, Lefevre and other corps commanders of that splen did host move by, each holding as he rides the coveted baton of a marshal of pioud France and the army of the emperor. Corps after corps goes past, and now the figure of Napoleon looms up before our view. The mighty Corsican--the man of destiny-rides by, sublime and terrible. The man of destiny, who, with un heeding and remorseless hand, un. locked the massive doors of Janus's temple el sed, and flung theim opein for a secre of years-the man of des. tiny, who, with the spai k- of reckless passion and iii hot a-bbition, kindled the raging fires of universal war, whose crimson glow lit up a iighty continent from end to end-the man of destiny, at whose approach thrones shook and treinbled, principalities and powers fell prone and disappeared-thu man of destiny, whose supernatural genius in the art of war flashed like the blind irng lightning's strokes and whose dread thunder-roll dismayed, bewilder ed and affrighted foe--the man of des tiny sweeps, with his mighty army. pvast and now is gone I His batteries and troops, his long battalions and his living squadrons, with all the inoving train and engimery of war, go past and and( disappear. Sparta, Macedon and Rome and llodern Gaul have sent their heroes and their armies past, and now with quickened pulse we wait expectant for another and a last great host. Veterans of the iron cross! can you not hear again the long roll of the drums, the bugles' clario i call that set the long gray lines in motion--"the sted, tile miustering s(uadron forming in the ranks of war?" Out from the spectral mist that hides the past, the immortal army of the South again comes forth and warlike forms the grave has ihidden from our view, again take horse; the feet that once trod Dixi 's soil, again press down in stirrup, again inpetuous strike spur in mettled charger; the hands that ouce we loved to press our childreni's heads and felt such touch a holy benediction again reach down And (raw the brightest swords that ever gleamed on bloody battlefield. A ud on they come-the bullet-ridden. blood-stained flags, the flags that fairest hands that sunlight ever kissed wove and holiest tears that ever dropped from woman's face baptized " Again unfurled they fly, Anti flap their silken bars against the wind, Like eagles' wings against a southern sky." On they come, those nmoving lines of gray, sons of the proud old South "from the rice fields and the cotton 11n1d the waving sugar-cane, from the mounitains and the lowland~s, Dixie's wvarriors come!" Thel rc passes Stuart's cavalry, and Morgan's horse goes by thlere Hampton's dashing legion, Wheeler's swift-riding centaurs, stail wart Forrest's hlussars, Riosseri's reck less riders and hlorsemen of Fitzhughl and~ Willham Ihenry Lee--all gallop by -and~ as, with whirl of (lust and clat tering of hoof troop) 0on troopl and squadron after squladron of the Con feder'ite hoirse sv'eep) on, we cry of thenm as of the Spartan b~andl, " Death less valor sits enstamnped on1 every face." And after them, with roll of drums andl colors flying, the .serried lines of Southern inlfanltry march past-anl in fantry that, Caesar's vaunted legions, the army of P'rinlce Conde, tihe fittest corps led on by Marshal Ney, tile flame-swept British squares at, Water loo, canlnot outranlk nor can surpass. Tile very bulwark and dlefense of Southern arms, the front, the center, left, and righ t of battle line--their mov ing colunmns now pass on, brave dlaun t less souls I anld there, amidst their moving ranks, come on with measured tranmp andi feet unfaltering those hleroes of unending fame, bravo Pickett's gallant men whlose whistling lines ol baiyoniets flashed and gleamed upon the heights at Gettysburg upon that (lay of wrath when they "Thle brave, went down. Without disgrace, ley leaped to RuIn's red embrace; Thmev only heard lfamel's t' uniders wake, A lnd sawV tile daulZinlg sun~bui t break' in smiles on (J!ory's bloody face." Cavalry and infantry in long hues move by3, atnd now we hlear theo heavy roll of D)ixie's dIread artillery-tile guns that tllhnderedl from an iihndredi hills and1( hurled their hlail of shot and~ shell and rain of fIre anud (leathl against in vadiing foe, and riing on hard by their lumbering- guns we see thle martial forms of Pendletoin and Long, anid Georgia's gallan t Alexand~er, bravo Pelham, Walker andi heroic L~atimer p~ass on-Ah !

The painter's brush will halt, the poet's song die oin his lips, the sounding chords of min strel's harp grow mute before a battle scene like that ! Ile came from the valley of Virginia and was cousin to our own beloved an gallant sAldier, Colonel W. S. Thomp son, of Atlanta, standing here, vete rans, in your midst today. And still the great prccession passes on ; and now we see defile before our view the Titans of the armies of the South, her ! generals of the line-Albert Sidnev I Johnston, the Achilles of the Sout he n i host, and Joseph E. Johnston, her I Quintus Fabius MAaximus, but greater I far than Roman general-the brave I and valiant Braxton Bragg-impetuous Hood, and Stonewall Jackson, peerless aud incouiparable-an.i after them, the I other corps commanders and generals i of divisions and brigade, long line of talent militant such as no other army of the world surpassed ; and now, ily countrymen, come on the noble line of Georgia's warlike sous led by the gal lant Gordon-the white scar of battle flamiing on a cheek that never once grew pale before advancing foe-with Iardee. Young and Wofford, Lawton and the brave Bartow. Walker, Cumu miing and lLenry Jackson and gallant Cobb, who died at Fredericksburg and countless others brave as they soldiers all, my countrymen, whose I names are written in unfuding hue upon that scroll where valor's deeds lind everlasting record, and who have place enduring in the great Pantheoi of history where heroes live till tine i shall be no more. And now like him who istood on i I'roy's embattled walls waiting for son of Priam not yet come, so (10 we scan the plain with eager glance and look with wi-tful and expectalt eyes for that one son of Dixie not yet come our idol ai(n the old South's pride, tL-e old South's an11d the new. Can soldiers such as those gone past have in one man a head and front, a chief that, can be worthy of such names, such men and worthy of such deeds ? For an swer, turn, my countrymen, and look on yonder horsnan riding near, clad in his simp. mwiform of gray--three stars upon the collar wreathed with lines of gold, denoting his high rank look on that horeanmai riding with in a comparable grace of Southern cavalier on Traveler-iminortal horse of the Con federacy ! whose name. like Co penhagen's and Bucephalus's, linked with his master's, will go down in his tory-look on that silent hoiseman, and he will give yoi answer! Nearer, and nearer yet lie rides, and now, my countrymen, as that resplendent figure comes in full review, with hand up lifted do I point to him, and as the q aged Trojan did of Troilus shout, I cry of him--'Yonder, 'tis Lee! brave Ice, the prince of chivalry !"' " No purer sword led braver band, Nor braver bled for aphriduhter land, Nor brighter land had a cause so gramd, Nor cause a chief like Lee." Veterans of the iron cross, " the a eagle's gone." The prince of chivalry n shall ride no more. " The eagle's gone," but crows and jackdaws still 2 remain to peck at valor's dust and caw e against that glorious courage and re- tl nown their craven spirits never knew y nor yet can uiderstand. They tell ush that the greatest soldier of his age can i have no pla1ce wit hin a reuniited couni- n try's hall of fame.

And still the knightliest soldier ohf al' ime. can have no place within Columubia's hall of fame. My countrymen, there is no Parth enon of Greece, no forum of the Ito man capital, no " place dl'honeur '' by the Seine, no Westminister A bbey, anil 110 Amuerican hall of fame where his heroie statue could not grace the lof tiest nichie and bring a nobler luster to the great, company of immuortals there enshrined in marblo or in bronze. And he can have no place within our hall of fame. Hie needs it not There is no hall of honor built by mortal hands whose gIhled dome1) cani rise up high enough toward Ileaven to compilass in the height of his great fame I Thank God, the hail of fame whezem his knightly figure sits enthroned is not mnelosed by pillaredl marble nor by vaulting roof shut in, but holds its everlasting place within the hearts of all who love the great., the brave, the noble, thle sublime. tiut, it is not the nation's voice that speaks the harsh dlecrec, my country nmen, for, with brighteoing thought, and1( hearts aglow with gratitudle (10 we recall that countless gallant soldiers who once wore the blue with knightly grace and souls magnanimous, ui.. grud~gingly chivalric tribute render to our princely Lee. Ont such as these, may Ileavein's benediction reat, but, on the venomed toads who would spit iu. famy aind shame upon01 his spotless iiame, may that oblivion lie can never know fall on their little souls and may their little names forever be by brave men forgotten.

New York. THE BAR KEEPER MUST PAY The Legislature of Indiana Has Passed an' Odd Temperance Law. A law recently adopted in Indiana provides that proprietors of saloons shall be respoisible for damages to the itiocent victims of the liquor sold by them. The btate supreme court, has just )Issed ~lnIl the la1w, aflirWiig it and holding that it applies in cases where womien and children have been deprived of their means of support tirough the effects of liquors. II the case before the court it was shown that Geo-ge omre wo 11ent, home drunzk, picked a quarrel with ia boarder in the house and killed him. As a consu(lueice of the crime lie was sen tenced to the pen itentiary for a long term, n.irrowly escapjig the gallows. It was proved that when sober Ilomire was I petweablo man atnd devoted. to h is family of wyife and several chihie, () w hoiii lie was the sole support; but wieii dtik he was quarrelsome and lad tempered. It was further proved that on the day of the tragedy, he boiht mid drank liquor at the saloon of one1) ll[aIfmnan, from the effects of which he became intoxicated. Wheii her huiband had been convicted and i;aisported to the peiitotmiary, Mrs. Iloniaire brought suit against the saloon keeper, Ilalfman, for damages, placing the stin of $20,000. Ilalfman de iirreld claimimig that the new law did iot apply in such cases. The lower couirt sttained the demurrer, and the case ws appealed. Tle supreme court reverses the trial court holds that tie law does apply inl such cases as that of Mrs. flomire, and sends the case biek for trial upoin its merits. In its decision the supreme court says that the homicide committed by Ilomire was a crime punishable by im prisomment, aid that his arrest, con viction and imprisonmnlct. were results naturaliy to be expected; that, a shov inlg by tle plaintiff that the sale of the liquor to him caise( the itntoication, and the intoxicationi camsed the Crime sulifhicntly establishes the plaitiff's claim for loss of sum-lpolrt in conse quience. it. held that only two facts are necessary to lie show n, outside of the sale of thie l iquor by the (detfendanlt.
