pased ilacel halls of every -des-cription were forced from 'thecanans's mouth causing the des-truction of human life lit untoldnumbers. tllht, Wmek they met-the Blue and Gray--at Vickabii• g,Miss., and tiijoyetd tli htdlpitali-ties set aside rot thein by its tlti-zeos. They granped sealh dtershands into a way that is nkntlownto one who was eltJSoystig his teensin the days of yore and of war.It must have been with muchfeeling.

On the same graunds wherethe battle was fought tetrans ofboth armies were brought to-gether and a Jolly good time had.In the national cemetery could beseen Confederates whose arm, legor band had proceeded them tothe grave decorating the woundsofthe enemy. So ft was in theConfederate cemetery the teteranFederal could be seen bending tothe ground, placing upon thegraves of his enemy, flowers.

Tbhosands of visitors were pres-ent among whom were GovernorStone, of Mississippi, Hon. C. E,Hooker, Gen. S. D. Lee, Col. F.T.Lee, (the latter gentlemen fromIllinois) and many others fromall sections.

There is no question but whatthis meeting will have its effecttowards healing, to a great extent,the bitter feelings that were leftin the hearts of not a few, and ameeting of the Blue and Grayshould be held yearly.

This has so far been a year offloods, fires and mysteries. Aboutthe time people become quiet andserene over their own misfortunes,horrible news is flashed over thewires announcing sad news froma town in a sister state. The firstthing one sees on opening a papernow is a startling article in whtchis described the terrible loss oflife and devastatioen of property.Texas has been battling againstwater spouts while little Louisianahas had a flood of several .weeksto contend with, and which basrendered many homeless anddestitute. Fort Worth now mournsthe loss of its Spring Palace,which was reduced to ashes lastFriday night at 10:30 o'clock.There were between 7000 and 8000people in the building at the tileof the fire and only one lirereported to be lost, and thbtman.
