rcry nuNoRs ABOUT BLOOD MONEY.

1.-THE Americans on board were full Of
indig nation and shame at tho whole affair.
Uelv rumors were efloat about blood
money, as though money had had in-
duence somewhere in securing tho sur
render of the man. Many passengers
openly expressed roget that the American
flag was theirs.
captain Pitts, It was generally hello.
was partly excusable for his action, seeing
that he had applied in vain 10 the war-
ships for assistance, and that he was con
fronted with an order from the American
Minister. At the same time feeling pre-
vailed that, had the Captain shown the
same frmness at San Jose as he did at
Champerico, the man would not have been
shot. The passengers condemned the ac-
ton of the men-of-war, who had been APP
pealed TO for help and had refused it, for
they maintain that, in any event, they might
have taken charge of General Barrundia
until some proper and definite expression
of will had come from Washington. They
also condemn the action OF Minister Miz-
ner, who, they thought, had no right to
sign a mans death-warrant by tho scratch
OF his name. for they submit that at the
time he did it he knew that 1t amounted
10 that, no matter what the character OF
the victim. They contend that the Amerl-
can flag should protect them, wherever IT
NAV be unfurled. and not be made by
word for weakness and indeclslon."

Hardening the Brain.

While we were waiting at the depot
in small town in Arkansas, a colored
woman came up and asked il any one
of the six white men was a doctor.
One of them proved to be, and she
rolled her check apron in her hands in
fussy way and asked if he wouldn't
'jist step ober to de cabin an see what
allied her ole man." He found that he
had time, and said that he would go,
and two or three of us went along to
see what we could see. AS we drew
near the cabin the woman halted us
and said:
"Tze bin all de doctah he's had, an

"Wellr'
''Wall, if dere has bin any mistake,

We went in and the doctor examined
the patient and found he had broken
rib, and told him what to do for it. AS
we left the cabin the woman followed
us out and exclaimed:

Swallowed Two Wars and More.

There were number of us in one OF
the London taverns made famous by
Dickens, when a great big fellow
sIouched in and made himself very dis
agreeable with his mouth One of our
party was man from Boston, and
some way or other he and the big man
came to exchange words. The first
we heard of the row the big man was
saying:
you Yankees is great on the brag.
and that's all you can do.
"Well, / dunno, replied Boston.
but [ do. When did you ever do a
bloomink, blasted thing?"
s'How about 1776?"
Never heard of it!''
''How about 1922
'Never heard of it''
did you ever hear of Bunker Hill?''
II have, sir. That's where 600 red
coats licked the life out of 1000 brag-
ging Yankees"
II guess not
Not! Does you dare to dispute the
Liverpool Kid?"
You'd better read what history
says"
II have done that ERE, you bloomink
idiot, and it says as how all you Yam
KEGS run at the first fire! Don't It
now?"
Il never heard that it did"
Don't it say that?"
The big fellow had pushed up his
sleeves and put up his fists, and it was
plain that a row was on hand. He was
big enough to eat up two such men as
Boston, while he had friends to look
out for the rest of us. Our companion
therefore took the most prudent course
and acknowledge that history might
say so, and probably did say so. This
satisfied the big fellow, and he turned
away and glanced at Frenchman,
also tourist, who had come in later.
After long stare he walked up to
Grape and shouted:
'sBlast yer bloomink parley vons, but
we've always licked We out of yer boots
on land and sea!''
You speak Won big lie!'' shouted the
Frenchman, hot in a minute.
What! Call the Liverpool Kid a
liar to his facem
''Aye! and [ shall now give you Won
awful beeg licking!''
johnny got out of his coat in a
jiffy, danced around with his hands
up, and to our utter establishment the
Kid went right down into his boots
and skunk out of the room, having no
more pluck than hen. We sat there
for five minutes before any one spoke.
Then it was the Boston man, who said:
just think of it! [ can lick six fell
lows like that banty Frenchman, and
yet that big duffer made me swallow
two wars for independence and Bunker
Hill on top of them!'-N Y. Satn.

country IS not worthy of serious con-
sideration, and Hon. James Phelan is
right (Ga.) Chronicle.
A better way to solve the negro prob

of the north, also. to surrender the pre-
iudice they have against the black man,
and give him the rights which belong to
him. If the leading men Of the south
will bend their energies to the accom-

to settle the negro question than any

blacks to remain where they are, and ii
proposes to solve the race problem in
the south in way that it could not be
solved in the north, if there were a

south must deal with the race question,
with the understanding that they are,
and that the north is disposed to in.

Not Good Example.

A Boston paper has rather singular
case of 1.-The terrible example" sort in
view. A woman lately died in that state
at the age of 101, who had been con-
slant smoker all her life. She smoked
after every meal, often at night also,
and used.a pound or strong plug tobacco
every week. The funny part of the
thing is that forty years ago an anti-to-
bacco league started in on a reformatory
mission in that section and used this
old lady as ''the terrible example,"
She was good-natured enough to sit on
the platform smoking her pipe and be
pointed at as slave to a vile habit and
fastening her way to sad, early grave.
But she smoked on, and when 100 years
old was able to smoke over the grave of
the last of the reformers. She might
have lived quite as long had she never
used tobacco. Instances of that sort do
not prove that tobacco may not be IN
juri Gus to the young or some constitu-
tons in maturity. Individual cases are
not reliable for the use that is often
made of them to prove any anxious the
