Ges. Gordon requests camps of
Confederate veterans and individual
confederates to send him all the
war history and official war records
that can be used for historical pur-
poses by the war department. When
it is remembered how meagre his-

a special incentive is furnished old
soldiers to comply with his request.
When it comes to opportunities for

It is something to be an American

The Memphis Appeal-Avalanche
says : All the Eepublican papers de-
clare that the election of Crisp is an
anti-Cleveland victory. The wish is
probably father to the thought but
if any'of our Eepublican contempor-
aries suppose that the national
Democracy will allow the result of
an election in Congress to settle for
it the choice of a President they are
certainly counting without their
host. The Presidential question is
5 still an open one but the people will
i settle it for themselves and they
will not require any assistance from
Congress.
It is reported that the new pro-
cess of making sugar from sorghum
by the use of alcohol recently recom-
mended by Secretary Rusk has
been put into very successful opera-
tion at Hanover Indiana by a num-
ber of the leading cane growers and
bids fair to entirely supercede the
old method. Tlie process consists
in mixing a certain proportion of
alcohol with the syrup and it pro-
duces a sugar nearly pure white
testing over 90 degrees. It is also
asserted that the alcohol process
yields an average of 200 pounds of
sugar to the ton of cane an amount
double that obtained by the old pro-
cess. n '

CHRISTMAS.
The birthday of our redemption of chris-
tian civilization of every good and every
perfect gift for the bodies and souls of men
hearing the covenant of the life that is to-
-2
gether with that which is to be attain glad-
dens the heart of Christendom. Christmas
day records a fact as well as illustrates a
doctrine. The world which is but too in-
different to doctrine is more and more re-
cognizant of the fact. But however much of
kindly sentiment and pleasant liberality may
twine itself around the fact whether the
world knows it or not it is tho doctrine which
gives it its real worth. It is not that a Jude-
an child was born even under circumstances
of exceptional interest in Bethlehem the city
cradled among the hills of Palestine ; it is not
that the boy grewup to a most eventful man-
hood and died a too early death. Thi3 the
veriest agnostic can hardly deny but this
will hardly serve as a reason for the joy of
Christmas fide. That birth was not merely
the revelation that God had visited and re-
deemed his people for this all but the most
hopeless of unbelieving philosophers to-day
in some manner recognize. Socinianism
holds him "a teacher come from God" and
liberalism sees in every great thinker some
attempt of the divine to read the human. It
was more than this it was divinity recon-
ciling to itself the human nature; taking it
up and showing it according to its perfect
ideal ; the taking of manhood into oneness
with the deity that henceforth man might
know itself for what he ought to be. God
the son was incarnate Jesus the son of man
was born. It is the reality of both these
truths which makes their pjjeciousness. This
the w orld dimly sees and feels and rejoices in.
Christmas day then is a festival not of a
sect a race a creed or a church but for
mankind. Even as the daily sun falls on the
just and unjust with impartial cheer so the
"day spring from on high" falls upon all
sorts and conditions of men penetrates pris-
on cells hospital wards even the haunts of
vice and tin. It lights up the marts and
highways of travel and traffic by sea and
land as well as tho stately cathedral the
palace of the rich and the cottage of the
poor. Happy are those who have looked
upon this day spring and who walk in the
light thereof. In its light the simple and
wayfaring are wiser than the worldly-wise
and the loving faith of little children might-
ier than the philosophies of the faithless and
unbelieving.
A CURIOUS MENTAL PHASE.
The New York Herald is laboring
under the delusion that the Demo-
cratic party was divided says the
Memphis Appeal-Avalanche and it
it is now engaged in congratulating
itself on the assumption that the
election of Crisp has re-united the
party. The Herald made a fight on
Mr. Mills on one issue which it knew
to be false. It represented day after
day mat iiir. innis piatiorm em
braced the idea of Tammanv Hall at
any price. It was pointed out to the
Herald that Tammany Hall was for
Crisp but even after so corrected
the Herald kept that falsehood
standing up to the time when Crisp
was elected. Everything confirms
the impression that the power of
Tammany Hall has been expanded
by the selection of Mr. Crisp. "We
do not believe that the Democrats of
the country are by any means satis-
fied with the result of the Speaker
ship contest. Mr. Crisp s election
has done more to inspire hope in the
breasts of those who have been dis-
credited in the party it has done
more to revive the cause of Randall-
ism than any event that has hap
pened since the Pennsylvania states
man was dropped from power. The
New York Sun is now posing as the
Delphic oracle of Democracy the
Geersria protectionists think that
tariff reform will now be relegated to
the limbs of dead issues; and Gov-
ernor Hill who has nerer been a
pronounced tariff reformer has taken
occasion to say that the Democracy
of the country should not present
any sheme of tariff reform but after
trying to repeal the McKinly act it
should be content with a do-nothing
policy and Cimmerian silence. The
Democrats of this country ought to
make themselves heard on this
proposition.
It will be a sort of poor consola
tion to the cotton-growers of the
South whose crop is some 800000
bales loss than last year and is bring
ing a still more reduced price to
learn tliat the growers of wheat and
oats in the North and West have not
only had an exceptionally good year
as far as crops are concerned but
that they are obtaining unusually
good prices for them.
Nine-tenehs of the swine crop of
tne united orates is put into market
under a year old. It would pay
flockmasters living near the larger
cities to put a large proportion of
their young wethers into market un-
der a fourth of a year old.
i m
Speaker Crisp offered Mills the
second place on the ways and means
committee wmcu he respecttully de-
clined. He has heretofore Iiaati
chairman of this committee and done
nothing to assign him to a lower
place.
It is reported in Washington that
Crisp does not intend to place Con
gressman Culberson at the head of
the judiciary committee but the
chances are that Catchings of Missis-
sippi will be given that place.
The Mayor of Pittsburg has been
indicted for embezzlement.
THE JOE BETTIb CASE.
The Banner sometime since made
a note of the Joe Bettis case in the
District Court of Burleson county
who was first convicted of killing a
negro and given two years in the
penitentiary but subsequently tried
on a plea of insanity and convicted
and suggested that upon his return
from the Asylum he would then have
to serve out his term in the peniten-
tiary. The Caldwell Chronicle com-
menting on this statement says:
"The Banner is somewhat in error in
its statement that upon Mr. Bettis' return
from the asylum he will have to fill the two
years' sentence to the penitentiary given
him. The fact that he was not sine at the
time of the killing relieves him of the
penalty for manslaughter. It is impossible
to make an irresponsible man responsible.'
In reply to which the Banner will
state unfortunately for Mr. Bettis it
fears that it is not even "slightly
mistaken" and refers the Chronicle
to Article 95G of the criminal court
of procedure title 12 chapter 1 mis-
cellaneous proceedings which says:
"Should the defendant become sane he
shall be brought before the court in which
he was convicted and a jury shall again be
empaneled to try the Issue of his sanity
and sheuld he be found to be sane the con-
viction shall be enforced against him in the
same manner as if the proceedings had
never been suspended."
Maybe the Chronicle sees some
way of getting around this law but
it reads plain and seems clear to the
Banner and whUe we deeply sym-
pathise with Mr. Bettis while serv-
ing out a term in the penitentiary
for an act that he committed while
insane we can't see how he is going
to get out of it unless he remains
insane. The mistake lie made was
in not entering the plea of insanity
on the first trial instead of entering
a plea of "not guilty as he did and
fighting the case on the grounds of
self defense. If he is restored to a
sane condition perhaps the Chief
Executive will extend him clemency
but otherwise he will be sentenced
to two years in the penitentiary.
LOUISIANA POLITICS.
The democratic state conyention
of Louisiana was called to order at
11 O'clock Saturday morning at
Baton Rouge. The committee on
resolutions submitted their report
which was adopted. The platform
denounces the bolt of the antis as
threatening to again subject the
State to African rule expresses the
friendship of the democracy for the
farmer and laborer and pledges
itself to come to their relief when
in full control of the government
It also urges the abandonment of
the third party policy; asks for the
continuance of federal aid for the
Mississippi river; reaffirms its oppo-
sition to monopoly and class legisla-
tion; denounces the attempt to
misuse the election machinery at
the State election in April and
instructs the new central committee
to take measures against suoh mis-
use. It lays the responsibility for
the failure to settle the lottery ques-
tion by the white primaries to the
antis and empowers the new State
central committee to use every effort
to bring about a settlement. The
convention then nominated candi-
dates for State offices. The ticket
complete is :
For governor 3. D. McEnery of
Ouachiata; for lieutenant governor
Robert C. Wickliffe of "West Felici-
ana; for secretary of state L. F.
Mason of Concordia; for treasurer
Gabriel Montegurt of Terre Bonne;
for superintendent of public educa-
tion J. V. Calhoun of Orleans; for
attorney general E. W. Sutherlin of
De Soto; for auditor O. B. Steele
of Union.
The bolting wing of the conven-
tion have also nominated a full
ticket and the fight that is to follow
promises to be a bitter one as well as
one dangerous to the State. "What
a great pity it would be if the re-
publicans taking advantage of the
split were to step in and elect their
ticket.
THE GARZA REVOLUTION.
The United States troops that
went out from Ft. Ringgold to tackle
Garza the filibuster had a skirmish
with him and his men which resulted
in Corporal Easton of the 3d TJ. S.
cavalry being killed and Lieutenant
Hayes of the infantry being wouned.
The engagement took place near Rio
Grande City.
The detachment lost sight of the
enemy in the thick brush which "en-
veloped them and temporarily
abandoned the chase which will be
rtnewed as soon as reinforcements
are secured. These will doubtless
be sent out from the nearest posts
as speedily as it is possible to mo-
bilize them. The United States
military are as anxious to capture
Garza and his associates as are the
Mexican authorities and if it takes
all of the available troops in this de-
partment to do so he will be hunted
clown.
The military have full authority
from the war department for this
purpose and the killing of the ser-
geant and the wounding of the lieu-
tenant is but a still stronger in-
centive. Representative Vestal of Jewott
says he is for Mills for tho Senate.
In fact very near all the members
hoard from are that way; and in all
probability he will be elected on the
first ballot.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
Speaker Crisp has the lagrippe.
Jno. L. Sdluvan recently went on
a big drunk at San Francisco.
A party which depreciates the
standing of the Nation by falsifying
and diminishing its census returns
for partisan gain is not a patriotic
party.
Three or four cases of leprosy in
Kings county Wis. have been dis
covered and the discovery has
caused a panic among the people
there.
The remains of Senator Plumb of
Kansas who died at Washington
Sunday have been taken to Kansas
the body to lie in state at the Kan-
sas capital.
Senator Colquitt of Georgia de-
nies the truth of the report that he
had any idea of resigning his seat in
the Senate
Clarkson chairman of the Repub-
can Executive committee of Iowa is
urging Iowa to free the party of
that state from the issue of prohibi-
tion which he says is too heavy a
load for it to carry.
The Austin Statesman finds time
from its political palaver to occas
ionally have an editorial announcing
the progress of the dam there
which it says is to make Austin the
greatest manufacturing city in the
South.
From: all over the State comes
communications of regret that Hon.
R. Q. Mills was defeated for the
speakership accompanied by the as
sertion that they are in favor of his
being sent to the United States
Senate.
A Santiago correspondent of the
London Times says in consequence
of the delay in the trial of persons
concerned in the Baltimore sailor's
riot the Chilean congress proposes
to abolish the antiquated secret
Spanish proceedings for a system of
open trials. The delay causes irrita
tion here.
Gen. Clabkson said in a speech at
Des Moines Iowa a few days ago
that the next Republican campaign
would be made on the issue of pro-
tection to the negro in the South.
That is a dead issue and can never
win for the g. o. p. again. The color-
ed people have been fooled so long
and so often by the Republican party
that they are beginning to open
their eyes.
The Italian government is said to
be making vigorous efforts to dis
cover how Prince Borghese suc
ceeded in getting the picture of
Cresar Borgia smuggled through to
Pans. It the culprits who allowed
the portrait to pass the frontier are
found it will likely go hard with
them. Baron de Rothschild is said
to consider the portrait cheap at
S120.000.
The surface of any given quan
tity of gold according to the best
authorities mav be extended by the
hammer 310814 times. The thick
ness of the metal thus extended
appears to be no more than the
5G6020th part of an inch. Eight
ounces of this wonderful metal
would gild a silver wire of sufficient
length to extend entirely around
the globe.
A Gutheeie special of Saturday
says: The wildest excitement pre-
vailed all night over the Noble de-
cision giving 160 acres more to the
town site. Thousands of people
staked lots and slept on the cold
ground all night and this morning
3000 people are on the ground.
Many quarrels are taking place be-
tween the old settlers and the new
claimants and serious trouble will
ensue. Five hundred negroes many
armed are now jumping lots and
stealing fences and unless it can be
stopped at once there will be some
shooting.
Mills Culberson and Chilton have
all pronounced in favor of free coin-
age of silver; in fact Col. Mills de
clares that ho has always been an ad-
vocate of free coinage but does not
believe that free coinage at present
is the most essential measure of re-
form: the tariff being our greatest
grievance demands attention first.
The forcing of the silver question to
the Jfront in the next presidential
contest he thinks will lose New
York New Jersey and New England
from the democratic column giving
us in 1893 a republican house of
representatives a force bill and
military dominition in the South.

Balzac and Berthas.
Balzac the great French novelist
once received a. lesson in good mannera
from a younger and less distinguished
associate. The hint came with good
grace from the younger man Elie Ber-
thet because it was deserved and be-
cause Berthet himself was a person of
courteous manners and gentle and amia-
ble disposition. Berthet had written
some romances which became so popular
and he so distinguished himself in jour-
nalistic work as to become an assistant
editor pf The Siecle.
As the assistant of M. Desnoyers the
editor of The Siecle he had been intro-
duced to Balzac. But though Balzac
had many interviews with M. Desnoy-
ers and was often in the office he never
paid the slightest attention to Berthet
He did n'-t even speak or bow to tha
young novelist
One day Balzac took some copy to The
Siecle office and was greatly disturbed
because M. Desnoyers; whom he wished
to see was out
Soon after he left the office he met
Elie Berthet He went up to the yonng
man and without touching his hat ot
otherwise saluting him touched him on
the arm with one finger and said:
"Ahl you tell Desnoyers that I have
left the copy at the office."
Without a second glance he turned
away.
Berthet delivered the message and the
editor replied:
"I am not likely to forget it He has
sent mo word by three persons already."
Three days later Balzac and Berthet
met at abont the same place. Berthet
did not take off his hat He touched
Balzac on the arm with one finger and
laid:
"Ahl he says yon have sent him word
by three persons already."
Then he walked on. Youth's Com-
panion. The Itlanfaeed Crab.
One of the most singular looking crea-
tures that ever walked the earth or
"swam the waters under the earth" is
the world famous maafaced crab of
Japan. Its body is hardly an inch in
length yet the head is fitted with a face
which is the perfect counterpart of that
of a Chinese coolie; a veritable missing
link with eyes nose and mouth all
clearly defined. This curious and un-
tinny creature besides the great like-
1 133 it bears to a human being m the
mutter of facial features is provided
with two legs which seem to grow from
the top of its head and hang down over
the sides of its face. Besides these legs
two "feelers" each about an inch in
length grow from the "chin" of the ani
mal looking for all the world like a
colonel's forked beard. These manfaced
crabs fairly swarm in the inland seas of
Japan. St. Louis Republic

'l"t isn't often that a telegraph operator
stops to think of the message he receives
or sends" said an old operator. "They
are all of a size to hint. But I remem-
ber one night during the late war I felt
my e3-es moisten yes tnoist-si as I
read the following to Senator Fessenden:
'My son is sentenced to be shot tomorrow
morning at 6 for sleeping at his post
Will you kindly 6ee President Lincoln
at once and intercede till I can react.
Washington to present evidence which
will clearly prove my son's innocence?"
I knew that if the message was com-
pelled to wait its turn it would not reach
Senator Fessenden till too late for any
hope of reaching the president to say
nothing of getting a reprieve sent to the
line of battle where the son was.
"I said to myself: 'Here is a human
life hanging by a thread. Shall I cut tha
thread by letting the message take its
turn? No 1 couldn't. I violated the
rules and telegraphed the solemn mes-
sage to all the hotels in Washington till
the senator was found and the message
safe in his hands. Word came back that
