Henry fFatterson, last of the "old ' school" editors, distinguished publicist and Confederate veterans "Would that tha sDlrlt of the illus trious dead whom we lament toduy could speak from the grave In tones which reach each and every heart; 'My countrymen! Know one anoth er and you will love'one another.'" Lamar on the death of Sumner. HE LINES of thought nnd feeling which led to the reclamation of the birth pluce of Abraham Lin coln and the peaceful scenes and unity of pur pose that attend Its trans fer from the ownership of an association to the possession of the govern ment of the United State contrast strungely with the passions which illumined the period in which his lot was cast, towurd the close breaking Into a volcano of blood and flame, his tragic death unhappily not the end ; for we now know that, while he was entertaining the most benevo lent intentions toward the beaten party In the strife, his tnklng off gave at once the signal and the pretext for letting loose upon the vanquished a swarm of evil spirits working Ills even worse than those of war Itself. For at least ten years before the secession of the Southern states the two sectional extremes In and out of congress 'talked like madmen, the ruv ing ranging from the abolition orator's melodramatic "My curse be upon the Constitution of these United States" to the rodomontade of the.fouthern sena tor who would not be pacified until he could "call the muster roll of his slaves beneath Bunker Hill monument." As the sectional pressure tightened in national politics before the advent of actual hostilities those conservative men who tried to avert the oncoming clash of arms were driven to the wall. Neither extreme would listen to mod erate counsels. The interposition of the border states proved of doubtful restraint and was of short duration. During the war and after It was over these patriotic men fared no better than the firebrands, the mass and body of the Southern people confounded with the original secessionists. Even now "the distinction that once existed Is blurred, if not lost. Yet a great majority of the Southern people were devoted to the Union and at least a strong minority were opposed to slav ery. No one understood this better than Abraham Lincoln. He was hiniselt of Southern birth. He and all his tribe were Southerners. Although he left Kentucky when n child, he was an old child; he never was very young; nor did he go very far, growing to man hood in a Kentucky colony, for what Is Illinois, what Chicago, but a Ken tucky colony, swollen somewhat out of proportion? He was In no sense Vlmt we used to call "a poor white." Awkward, ungainly hut aspiring, the spirit of a hero within that rugged casement; a flue, far-reaching imagina tion behind those heavy brows ; the courage of a Hon beneath those patient, kindly aspects; and, long before he was of legal age, n leader among men.' His first love was a Itutledge; his wife was a Todd. Lincoln the Poet. We know that he was a poet, for have we not that immortal prose-poem recited at Gettysburg? We know that he was a statesman,, for has not time vindicated his conclusions? But the South did not for a long time know, except as a kind of hearsay, that he was a friend the one friend who had the power and the will to save It alike from Its enemies and Itself. The direst blow that could have fallen upon a hapless and prostrate people was de livered by the assassin's bullet that struck him down. Much of a misleading kind has been written touching what did and did not happen at the Hampton Roads aon ference. Nothing' happened there which changed the Irreconcilable at titude of the combatants. Their agents. Indeed, argued from opposite prem ises the restoration of the Union the sine qua non of the one side, the rec ognition of the Confederacy the ultima tum of the other. Neither, Indeed, possessed the pow er to come, to terms. Mr. Davis had no right to dissolve the Confederacy and disband Its armies, Mr. Lincoln none to commit his government to any definite treaty. It Is a fact, however, that the federal president was pre pared with a plan then and there to end the war, which, could It have been adopted, would have saved two months' bloody fighting and spared the South the humiliation of the finnl collapse tnd surrender. Though this has been denied. It ad mits of no dispute. The historic Issue Lincoln's Family. There were four childrenRobert Todd, born August 1. 1843; Edward Baker, born March 10, 1840. and dying In Infancy; William Walluce, born De cember 21, 1850, and who died during his father's first year In the presi dency, and Thomas, born April 4. 1853, and who died when he was nineteen years old. His Personal Appearance. As Virginia Carvel enters Mr, Lin coln's presence: "Could this fantas- if 1 ' L ' hf n f -VV) - - V rests upon two Imperfect .and appar ently contlictiug narratives the ullicml and formal report of the Confederate commissioners anil the subsequent 01 a and personal statement of Mr. Steph ens. The disagreement, however, is easily explained, having, with Us at tendant controversy, arisen because what Mr. Stephens said was assumed to be an attack upon Mr. Davis, it was never so intended by Mr. Stephens, the aim being solely to throw light upon the character and purposes of Mr. Lincoln. It should be borne In mind In this connection that Mr. Stephens and Mr. Lincoln were personal friends old Whig colleagues In congress Lincoln a warm admirer of Stephens, whom he wanted to ask to become a member of his cnblnet when he was elected president. In the little" cabin of the river steamer where the conference was being held the two had drawn apart from the rest. "Stephens," said Lincoln, ns Mr. Stephens related the conversation to many of his friends, "you know I am a fair man nnd I know yqu to be one. Both of us understand the situation. Let me write 'Union' at the top of this page and you may write below It whatever else you pleuse. I am sure you will write nothing which I cannot agree to." Mr. Stephens re plied that the commissioners were lim ited to treating upon the basis of the recognition of the Independence of the Confederacy. "Then, Stephens," said Lincoln, "my hands are clean of every drop of blood spilled from this time onward." In the general rather desultory and, in the end, wholly abortive, talk be tween the three Confederate commis sioners nnd Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Se ward, Mr. Lincoln recurring to slavery and the Emancipation Proclamation, declared that be would be willing to be taxed to pay the Southern people a fnir valuation for their slaves. It Is a matter of fact that he had already prepared a Joint resolution to be rec ommended to the two houses of con gress appropriating $400,000,000 to this purpose, and a proclamation to be Issued by himself as president wheu this had been adopted. On his return to Washington he laid these two papers before the cabinet. Inevitably there was opposition. "Why, gentlemen," he said, "how long Is the war going to last? It Is not going to end In one hundred days, is It? It is costing us $4,000,000 a day. There you have the $400,000,000, not counting the Intervening loss of lives and prop erty. But, you are all against me, and I will suy no more about It." Both papers still stand In his own handwriting. The South's True Friend. The death of Lincoln removed from the head' of affairs the best. If not the only, friend the Southern people had at court. There came In his stead an old line southern Democrat a verit able "poor white" breuthlng destruc tion to the ruling classes at the South, yet n constitutionalist of the school of Jefferson nnd ns hostile to the negro equnllty theories of the radical Repub licans us the most ultra Copperhead of the North. Secession had failed ; must it carry with It the failure also of Institutional freedom? Liberating the black man, must It enslave the white? The plan to Impeach Aiulrew..lohnson was little other than a scheme to Mex Icanize the government. It came peril ously near succeeding. The Grand Army of the Republic tirally tall, stooping figure before her be that of the president of the United States? She stopped, as from the shock he gave her.

A Confederate sol dier, appointed by a Republican presi dent. Is chief Justice of the United States. Two Confederate generals who honorably wore the blue have died on the retired list and payroll of the Army of the United States. Verily the war of states and sections is over. The dream of Abraham Lincoln has been fulfilled. The mystic chords of memory, stretching to every living heart and hearthstone, have swelled at last the chorus of the Union, touched not only by the angels of otjr better nature, but bound by the blood ties of kindred origins, principles and affections. It did, indeed, seem a long tlmo coming. As far back as 1800, speaking primarily for the soldiers of the Con federacy, I had proposed that the three war amendments to the Constitution be nccepted nnd ratified as the treaty of peace between the North and the South. There followed n pretty wran gle. Many and especially those who had not been actually In the war were unable to sec or unwilling to admit' that the head of the South was In the lion's mouth, and that, unless and until It could he extracted, nothing was very much worth while. Sectionalism flourished upace on either side of party lines. The Confed erate brigadiers made a kind of common cause with the valiants of the bloody shirt, both out, as It were, for gate money. Thus the politicians played comedy while the people suffered trag edy. Although the Greely campaign in the long run perhaps shortened the distance across the sectional chasm, it did not show any Immediate fruitage, and It remained for an apparently un important personal event to make the first serious Impression upon the solid wall of misunderstanding and prejudice which divided the two warring parts of the half-restored Union. Tills was the death of Charles Sumner and the eulogy of Lucius Lamar. " It was on epoch-making speech. The North recognized Its fidelity and . Its truth, and warmed to It. Thencefor ward the South could Hee Its way ahead. Instead of sprinkling salt on raw places, It began to be the fashion to pour oil ; instead of twisting the lion's tail to pat his mane.

U7hy Rheumatism Comes UJith Cold Ucaifres'! ST VAXENTINB MOTT PIERCE, M. D. A close connection exists between these two cold weather and rheu matism. Prof. Alex, liuig, of London, has the most followers in the medical profession in the belief that the pres ence in the system of nrio acid, or its Baits in excess, is the real cause of rheu matism. Everyone has recognized the difference in the appearance of their water as soon as it gets cold j there io often a copious sediment of brickdust. Several causes may lead up' to an accumulation of uric acid in the system, which, in turn, causes rheumatism or gout, or creaky joints, or swollen fingers, or painful joints. For one iann th skin does not throw off the nric acid, by profuse sweating, aa in the hot weather, and the kidneys are unable to take care of the double burden.

Again, they eat more meat in cold weather, and some people are so susceptible that they soon develop rheumatism after eating meat. At all such times persons should drink copiously of hot water, sav, a pint mornirg and night, and take Anuria tliree or four times a day. This An uria comes in tablet form and can be had at almost any drug store. It dis solves the uric acid in the system nnd carrie it outward. I would advise everyone to take Anurio occasionally, and continue for three or four weeks, and in that way avoid rheumatism, gout and many of the painful diaordeis due to uric acid. Adv. i ! use
