what is wanted of this unique kind

This Portfolio is rare and beautiful
exponent of the main architectural
features of the Great Exposition at Chi
cago in 1898. The fourteen magnificent
structures are faithfully exhibited,
while the Bird s-eye View gives real
istic glance at the lay of the grounds,
with their principal buildings, lagoons,

reproductions, in water color effects, of
the original drawings, made especially
for this purpose from the official plans,
by Americas best known water color

therefore are not only official, but they
are genuine works of art, and COM

Ono Authority Says 1t Comes From the
Indians In Nicaragua.
nj. Jules Maroon. OF the Paris Geo
graphical society. has lately spent u
great deal OF time in making re-
searches into the origin OF the namo
America. The popular notion that
America was so called from the hris-
tian name OF Americas Nespucci l.,
he says wholly unfounded the name

tho Indian name OF tho mountains
between Julgalpa and Libertad in tho
province OF Chontales which sepa-
rates Lake Nicaragua from the Mos
quito coast The name in the MAYA
language signifies 'the windy coun-
try" or the country where the wind
blows always" The (hristian name
OF Ncspucci was Alberico in Italian
and Spanish. and Alber.cus in
Latin but Pcarsons Weekly says it
Is subject to II great number Of
variations. and conse ,uently NJ. Mar
con suggests that the name Amergo
is IN adaptation OF Amerrilue. added

in tho same way as we now say Chi
neso' Gordon to distinguish this par
ticular Gordon by suggesting ono OF

the disco err OF America is put out OF
court by the fact that ho was in Se-
vile when Columbus made his vo :
age. He did. however. make two or
three vo. ages TO tho new world later

luainted with mapmakers he would

writer in the GcEtleman's Magazine.

Indians: They arc all horsemen
or rather pass their lives on horse
back In spite o. the climate which
IS burning hot in summer and free =

who have never yet been subdued
are entirely naked and have not even
IL covering for their head. They live
together in tribes each OF which is
governed by II caciquc but they have
no fixed place o! residence. Where
the pasture is good there are they to
be found until 1t is consumed by their
horses and they then instantly move

neither bread fruit nor vegetables
but they subsist entirely on the flesh
of their mares.

Confederate Generals.

In to-day's Constitution, it is stated that
General Longstreet is the only corps
commander Of our war who ever traine9
and fired cannon at the enemy. have
no desire to gainsay this statement; but
I may be permitted to add this much to
it.
During the campaign in Maryland in
1862, I was with General Wade Hampton,
who subsequently became commander of
General Lees cavalry, corps in itself.
In one of our battles in that State, while
we were being hard pressed by the infan-
try of the Federals, I saw General Hamp-
ton dismount from his horse, and per-
sonally work at one of the guns in Pei
hams famous artillery. He not only
assisted in ramming down the double
charge Of grape and canister, but he ran
to the breeoh of the gun when it was
ready for the firing, and it was he who
aimed its fire. During the time was
private soldier holding the Generals
horse at the wheels of the gun. Iremem-
words on the occasion, but I remember
also we'll that the shots fired checked the
advance of the enemy and saved the day
to the Confederate troops. General
Hampton is alive, and st our last conyer-
sation had a very vivid memory OF the
thrilling and bloody event. On a subse-
uuent occasion no held my horse while I
was engaged in working gun" in
efforts to keep the enemy at bay until
relief came to our assistance. have no
desire to appear conspicuous in any event,
but while honors are going, I should like
to inquire if there is yet living another
private Confederate soldier who has the
honor of having had General OF cavalry
