Gen. Dabney Maury, one of the old est Confederate commanders now living. has written letter to Governor O'Fer- rall of Virginia. offering his services in the event of Q war between this country and England. The letter is strictly pri- vate. and at General Maury's request the governor declines to give it out to the newspapers. The generals views on the situation are quite we'll known. He is thoroughly in sympathy with the presi- dent in his Venezuela message, and has a fair opinion of English soldiers. General Maury held maior-g generals commits sion in the Confederate army. He is not the ranking surviving Confederate con- mander, but is one of the oldest in point of age. General Maury is well known to the people of Alabama, having been In command of the Mobile defenses toward the close of our civil war. One of his daughters married son of MT. Charles T.

RABBITS IN AUSTRALIA.

Less than half a century ago there was
not one rabbit in the whole of Australasia.
A few were introduced into New Zealand
in 1860, and into New South Wales and
Virtoria some eight or ten years previous
ly, and now the multitude of them is so
great that no one would attempt even to
approximate their number The hostility
of man they practically defy. They march
westward or northward, multiplying as
they go and devouring as they go, and
sheep and cattle and men leave plains and
ridges to them. The central governments
have contended against them with every
weapon which promised success, and pro-
vincial bodies and energetic private indi-
viduals either supplemented these central
governments, or carried on the war on
lines of their own, but the rabbits are vic
torious today in more effective manner
than they were ten years ago.
The soil and climate of Australia are
largely responsible for this. Under gen.
eral conditions, rabbits will breed five or
six times year: on the plains OF the great
interior of Australia they will breed eight
times year regularly, and instances where
this record was exceeded are chronicled.
Bearing in mind that the litter seldom num-
bers fewer than eight, one can see what
multitudes must arise if checks be not ap-
Piled. The common estimate of offsprings
from one mother in four years is given at
over !, ,25O, 900, if that estimate had been
formed on the exceptionally favorable con-
ditions which Australia offords, the figures
would be much more startling.-Chamber's
Journal.

CONDENSED HISTORY.

Those boys and girls who find it diff

which won the prize recently offered by
the Washington Pathfinder for the best
original history of the United States told
in 100 words:
"The revival of learning, commercial
rivalry and religious zeal in Europe led to
Columbus's discovery of America in 1852.
Conflicting territorial claims and parental
animosity involved English, French and
Spanish colonists in wars eliminating in
English supremacy in 1853. Englands

A TRUE STORY.
BY VI RlON WEIR.

| In well-known town of Connecticut
there was, some years ago, an institution
generally advertised as Miss Blanks Sc
lect Seminary for Young Ladies'"
Among the boarders entered for GER
| tain school-year was one whom we shall
call Frances Ray, a girl possessed of more
| than the ordinary amount of good looks
and common sense, and gifted with a rare
charm of manner She was Miss Blank
favorite pupil for had not Miss Blank
known her from her earliest infancy, when
the little motherless babe had been brought
to her aunt, Mrs. James Barber of Gram
ercy Park, New York, and was not Miss
Blank that aunt's very dearest friend?''
Yes, Frances Ray was undoubtedly clever;
no girl in her class could equal her in sci
ence, in mathematics, Or even in history
Yet there was one thing in which she was
complete failure-namely, French
Hour after hour she would sit poring
over a grammar or a copy-book, hopelessly
at sea as to number, gender, or con juga-
ton, when even that chosen verb for all
beginners-the verb dimer-was to her
mind but a confused muddle in which ter
limitations and the three persons" of both
singular and plural fought for supremacy
Towards the end of the first term the
French professor, NJ. Lemaitre, died, of
heart failure, and Frances Ray wept bitter
tears at the loss of her helper and sympa-
thizer.
And, when Frances Ray wept, she was
beautiful. Strange as this may seem to
girls who look their worst in the hour of
their woe, the fact remains that to Frances
Ray grief was becoming
Then it was that Miss Blank, almost in
despair at such disarrangement of her
classes, answered NJ. de Marceau's adver-
tisement, and called upon him.
The interview was most satisfactory and
NJ. de Marceau's extreme youth being the
only objection, he, after promising the ut
most discretion, was duly engaged and a
week later he entered the school
From the first the girls adored him
They admired his eyes, his hair, and the
tiny ~ an Dyke he Wore; they raved over
his perfect accent and his courteous man
ners; all save Frances Ray she alone dis
liked him
NJ. de Marccau was, in the main, true to
his promise. Never by look or word, did
he show the slightest partialty, except in
the severity and marked coldness with
which he treated Frances Ray Day after
day the girl came to the French class with
a dozen others, and sat there, unable to re
cite or to read, before the unquailing eve
| of the professor she dctested
At length, towards the end of the year
unwilling to bear the disgrace of her low
standing in this one study, Frances Ray
lmplorcd Miss Blank, with burst of tears,
to allow her to discontinue her lessons in
French. And Miss Blank, touched by her
favoritc's grief drew the lovely head to
rand, kissing the tear stained face grant
ed the request.
From that day until the close of school

Blue eyes, black tresses, worn in a braid;
Prim little maiden, forever at prayer,

Next loved Nora, great tile rogue
Just over from Ireland, she'd sweet little brogue:
Brimful Of mischief, light hearted and free
Yes, loved Nora and Nora loved me-

Eyes black as midnght-such a sweet little mouth!
Cheeks warm and glowing, short, auburn cur<;
Such was my W anda sweetest of girls
Then loved Katherine, a woman of ice;
Untouched by loves passion always SO nice;
Fair, proud and naughty, stately and tall,
Loved shortest of any, fairest of all.
Last, loved Peggy, regular turk!
Tease of the household, never at work
Aomplns and fishing, climbing of trees,
C'a ing the butterflies hunting the bees.

Intelligent people, who realize the impor-

body in normal condition, find nothing
strange in the number of diseases that
Hoods Sarsaparilla is able to cure. So
many troubles result from impure blood
that the best way to treat them is through
the blood, and it is far better to use only
harmless vegetable compounds than to
other drugs. By treating the blood, with
