wreathed phantOms from the river course
aud from the dense thickets that skirted
the camp ground came ever ard anon
the mournful sound of whippOorwllls,
sounding FAINT aud low, like the renem'
bcrei echoes Of dream. Yet Wallace
Keene would have given we'll nigh all ne

verdure one moment only for the pine

Captain Keere turned his face toward
the opening of the tent, where Private
Spicer's head was just visible.
"why, sir, our fellows have just
brought in that lot O. men that was hurt
in that scrimmage across the river this
morning, aud some on ERA is wounded

II will be there directly, Spicer."
There was a little crowd Of men gath
cred on the river shore in tho warm
glow of the spring, but they silently
parted right and left for Captain Keene's
tall figure to pass through their midst.
Six or seven dusty, bleeiing men were
sitting and lying around in various pos
lures, their ghastly brows made still
paler by the faint, uncertain glimmer Of
the young moon. Keene glanced quickly
around, taking in the whole scene in
that one brief survey.
He stopped short as bis eye fell on a
new face, half shsdogsd by the green
sweep of dropping alders-a pale, blood
streaked face with gaping cut on the
forehead.
"This is not one OF our menl" he ex.
claimed sharply. "How came he here2"
"No, sir" exclaimed spicei, stepping
forward. 81 think he belonged to the
Eighth. I'm sure don't know how he
ever got mixed up with our fellows, but
there he was, and | thought we'd better
not wait for their ambulance, bat bring
him straight here"
"Right," briefly pronounced Reene,
STOPPING over the insensible figure.
'Let them carry him to =y tent,
Spicer."

five or ten minutes afterward as he came
out of the captains tent scratching his
shock of coarse red curls.
Meanwhile the dim light of lamp
swinging from the ceuter Of the little
tent shone full on the singular group
within its circling folds-the wounded
private lying like a corpse, still aud pale,
ou the narrow iron bedstead, the young
officer leaning over him and supporting
his heaJ--and the brisk, gray eyed little
surgeon keenly surveying both as be un-

To Drain a Big swamp.

The work of draining Okefnokes
swamp, the biggest undertaking of its
character in America, which will event
ually reclaim 900. coo acres of the finest
agricultural land in the country, is pro-
crossing at a remarkably satisfactory
rate. The great swamp is situated in
the southeastern part of Georgia and ex-
tends northerly from the border line of
Florida. Greeks of st. Mary's river and
Suwanee reach to the swamp.
This canal. when completed, will be
$50 feet wide and 83 feet deep, with a fall
OF 125 feet to st. Mary's river. The most
difficult part of the construction will be
through q high knoll two miles long.
Through the middle Of the swamp an
other canal 16 miles long will be con.
structed with small branches-the whole
to act as feeders to the big drainage
stream.
When the latter is completed, two n.y.
draulic pumps, with a capacity of 10000
gallons each per minute, will force the
water off the swamps. while the largest
inland dredger in the world will remove
the muck and tear away the stumps,
leaving behind . beautiful clay subsoil,
which has become wonderfully rich by
the muck accommodations of centuries
This muck averages 6 feet deep.-Sayan.

In view OF the increasing a~nti-Jewish
movement in Germany $40 rabbis of the
country have issued a manifesto, in
which they declare that the doctrines of
the Jews are founded on the Scriptures.
The ethics of Judaism, which are sacred
to its followers and are taught in the
schools and preached from the pulpits,
command as follows:
ITO esteem in every mar Gods image,
to eyince the strictest truthfulness in
trade toward everybody; to keep most
faithfully every oath and promise which
has been made to anybody, either Jew
or Christian; to be charitable toward
everybody of whatever confession; t"
obey the laws of the fatherland in faith
full devotion; to promote the welfare of
the fatherland with all ones power, and
to cooperate in the spiritual and moral
perfection of mankind"
1t remains to be seen whether the pub
~lication of this manifesto will have the
desired effect. I am afraid not. The
greater number of the anti-Semites are
fully aware of the fac. that the allega-
tions against the ethics Of Judaism are
false. They win not be taught better

Commander James B. Holt, of the
South Dakota department G. A. r. in
his annual address presented a new idea
on the pension question. He said: IF
this government is SO poor at the pres
emit time that it cannot afford to pension
it's defenders after twenty-sight years of
unexampled prosperity, justice and
equity are the principles we will now
urge; that the difference ir currency
which was paid the soldiers and sailors
and it's coin value be made up TO them,
principal and interest, the same as was
paid the bondholders. The amount of
interest paid the b~ondholders since 1861
is more than three times as much as
the amount of money paid her wounded
and disabled soldiers and sailors for PEN
sions. The coin value of q soldiers and
sailors pay was $500 per month, the loss
by the depreciation Of the currency was
$3.50 per month, and the interest to date

Wheat opened with a little show OF strength
but broke badly. Fears of further difficulties
in the Northwest, and decentralization among
local bulls caused the break. Corn was weak

shippers. Oats held their own. Shippers were
good buyers. Provisions ranged lower.
