may serve to inspire the insurgents to keep
up the fight, but will hardly fill any other
purpose. Cuba with her present popula-
ton cannot have the freedom that Ameri-
cans know, nor use it if she did have it.
Release from the yoke of Spain would
only mean the beginning of a race war be-
tween the negroes and mulattoes on one
side and the comparatively few whites on
the other. The other idea that some attach
to ''free Cuba,' that she become part
of the United States, is an absurdity. Our
country has enough of mixed races and
non-English speaking population now, with
out trying to increase it. From 1868 to
1878 the insurgents Of Cuba carried on a
ferocious and semi barbarous contest
which they called '''war" with the govern
ment of Spain. and probably from 1894 to
1904 they may do it again, but that will mot
give them liberty. To those lunatics who

Execution of Charlotte Corday.

Execution of Charlotte Corday.
Many stories of the death OF Charlotte Cor
day. who assassiiiated Marat during the French
revolution, have been written, but the true
one is now published. It is in 1.-THE Diary of
Charles Henri Samson who was the heads
manof that day in Paris, just published. This
is his account of her death:
"Oa this day, Wednesday. July 18th, first
year of the one and indivisible republic, l
executed Charlotte Corday. On reaching her
cell in the Conciergerie we found her writing.
She looked in my direction and asked me to
wait. When she had finished she took off her
capand told me to cut her hair. Since NJ. de
la Barre, had not seen courage equal to
hers. Wewere in all six or seven men, whose
profession was anything but softening. and
yet she was less moved than we were. When
her hair was cropped she gave part to the
artist who had taken her portrait and some
to the jailer's wife. Igave her tho red shirt,
which she arranged herself. As prepared to
pinion her she requested to keep on her
gloves. because when she was arrested the
cords were so tight that her skin was broken.

do it without hurting her. She smiled, ald

how to do it., held out her naked hands.
There was thunder and rain when we reached

window of the Rue ST. Honore, l saw Robes

tentively at the culprit. myself often look

beauty, great as that was, but it seemed i'm
possible that she should remain so calm and
courageous. L said; You find the way long,

reached the Place de la Revolution tried to
hide 1t from her by standing up. But she
said: Il havea right to be curious: this is the

A LIFE WORTH LIVING.

Few better answers to the query Ills life
worth living ?" have been given, than that
given in the death at the Johns Hopkins
Hospital, last week, of Mr.. Thomas P.
Doughty, native of northampton county.
in this State, and veteran of the 10Th
battalion Virginia infantry. An active
and prominent business man of Baltimore,
he was in the height OF his activity Danish
ed from the walks Of business by rhenma-
tism, which progressed so rapidly that he
soon became an utterly helpless invalid,
confined to his chair, and to touch whom
would produce intense pain. He became
an inmate Of the Hospital some years ago.
One would think that here was life not
worth living, and it was not, to himself.
But be made it worth living for others and
we doubt if there has ever been an inmate
of ''Ward C." man or woman, who does
not recollect him with love and gratitude.
He was a true Christian and true gen.
tleman, and with this equipmenth he set out
to make everybody he met happy. Ever
patient, cheerful, helpful in advice, taking
a hopeful and promising view of every
patients case, delightful companion, he
could not fail in the task he had undertak-
en-. The timld surgical patient got from
i'm encouragement, hope and courage.
The weary and hopeless medical patient
found in him comforter. His very man
ner, especially the devotion and tenderness
he showed his faithful wife, even in his own
agony, was lesson to all around him. He
had made many friends among the patients
who went from Staunton, and none recol-
lects him other than as the exposition of the
| most beautiful life he ever knew. He mel
death as calmly and sweetly as he had met
the pains Of life. and passed on to thai

A Communication.

On Memorial Day just passed some of
the people saw fit in Delta to prepare
base ball games, bicycle races and closed
the day with a ball at night, some of our
comrades of the G.. A. K. at Montrose,
as we are informed found considerable
fault with us as post members here be-
cause we did not put in such opposition
to these inappropriate actions as would
have caused their abandonment, and
thereby have offered no inducement to
many Montrose young people to des-
ecrate the memory OF our noble dead by
joining some of our thoughtless young
people in sports, amusements and hilar-
ity entirely repugnant to the sentiments
respecting this great national memorial
occasion of every true soldier. We as
members of Geo. b. Mcclellan post No.
76, G. A. r., kindly suggest to our much
esteemed comrades of Montrose that
they proceed in true missionary spirit
to humanize and civilize those OF their
young people who so readily and will
ingly came down twenty-five miles to
aid in making the y here hideous with
amusement and revelry entirely incon-
sistent with the observance of this pat
riotic and solemn day.
But the members of this Post have
not been silent. In the Delta papers of
last week will be found resolutions
strongly demonstrating against all hilar-
ious acts on this national day.
We earnestly hope that comrades of
Montrose and elsewhere will unite with
US in discouraging any future occurrence
OF this character.
