the spine may be relied upon TO give

his wife fell in love with baby Cas-
titan, the son OF, "a lieutenant in the
Spanish navy. They encountered the
child and its parents at the seaside
city of San Sebastian, where they were

adopt the child. At first both mother
and father were averse to parting with
the little tot. Mr.. Palmer then pro-
cured the young lieutenant a six weeks
furlough and the latter, with his wife
and child, went TO Madrid and lived at
Mr. Palmer's residence. They became
so charmed with their host and hostess
that at the expiration of the six weeks

white and colored people in assessing
real estate and personal property has

and Northern fanatics will find just
what the negroes have done for

North are enthusiastic in praise of the
progress of the colored people, and
are entirely too prone to place them
ahead of their former masters. These

believe, show that the colored people
are far behind the whites in the accu-

CI,EyELAND AND WASHINGTON.

Ex.Presidsnt Cleveland's speech
before the Southern society at the ban
ouet in celebration Of Washington s
birthday was an able eulogy upon
American institutions, and upon the
character of the father Of this country.
The following sentiments deserve the
l<ss:I,l refusal both of democrats and
u rs, since they show q deep
s. tg patriotism on the part OF
rbresident, as well as thorough
pmplete study Of American citi-
: Flip, and the high and responsible
dues involved in the possession Of
such exalted privileges. Said he:
"We need in our public and private
life such pure and chastened sentiments
as result from the sincere and heart
felt observance of days like this, and
we need such quickening of our pat
riotism as the sedate contemplation OF
the life and career OF Washington
creates.
"Such an apprehension Of American
! citizenship will consecrate us all to the
sdisinterested service of our country and
ucite US to drive from the temple of
q ur liberties the money changers and
