solve 40 pounds of copper sulphate
in 40 gallons of water, and in u

This can be kept as long as one
desires. When needed, measure
out 4 gallons Of the copper sui
phate solution and add some Of the
slaked lime until no change in col
or can be produced by the test
given above. The mixture will
then be ready for use when diluted.
The strength of Bordeaux can
be varied to considerable degree.
The above formula is about as
strong as we care to use at any
time, and, after the second appli-
cation, it is our custom to reduce
it by using SO and even 60 gallons
f water for the four pounds of
copper sulphate and three of lime.
This can be done, with no appar-
ent loss in the efficacy of the Bor-
deaux, when the fungi are not par
ticularly troublesome, and when
several applications are to be made
at frequent intervals. If the lime
is fresh and proper amount is add
ed after it has been carefully slak-
ed there is no danger of burning the
foliage with Bordeaux mixture.

moonlight night and we travelled
on until many of us could
travel no longer, without finding
any water. 1t was near midnight,
so we pulled our carts out of the
road and laid our tired bodies
down to rest till daylight should
dawn, when we started again on
our journey, having had neither
supper nor breakfast, aud most of
the company having had no water
since leaving the spring before
mentioned. It was near midday
when we reached the spring spok-
en- of as being four miles distant,
and 1t was nearer thirty miles.
When we arrived there we were
tired and hungry, so we stayed
there until the next morning. We
started on and came to a patch of
wild peas, where we stopped and
all hands went to gathering them.
We cooked and ate until we we're
satisfied. With the exception of
being a little strong, they were
very palatable. OF course they
were sNaller than our common
garden peas, but not having had
any kind of vegetables for some
time, they tasted so coed. We ate
too freely of them and they pro-
duced disease bordering an cpl
demic, which made us still weaker.
The next night we came to a
large spring which ran down to "a
low place and formed small lake,
on which was large flock of ducks.
l took my old gun and started
off for duck. The grass was five
or six inches high and I moved
slowly along to get good position
to shoot, without soaring the game,
and just as l was ready to crack
away at the ducks, a huge rattle
snake bobbed up right in front of
me ready to spring on me-. This
was not an enviable position, and
in order to save myself / shot the
snake instead Of the ducks. The
report Of the gun scared the ducks
away, and that ended my duck
shooting. [ returned to camp, to
find it all in commotion, and the
cry of all were Snakes" and we
found the whole country alive with
them.

not OF the kind to give us proper

but my wife's health about this

of conducting the war"
Senor Dupuy de Lone does not
think that the change in command at
this iuncture will have any injurious
effect upon the campaign or that any
political change in the conduct of
operations will take place Spain
has shown a readiness to agree to
the retirement of General Campos on
the request of leading loyal citizens
of Cuba who found, as has been
stated when General Campos was
first sent to Cuba, that he was dis
posed to be enient with the insur.
gents. He was frequently criticized,
however justly, for being too con.
ciliatory. As shown by its dispatch,
the government is perfectly satisfied
with the state of the campaign gen.
orally and does not borrow any
trouble as long as the rebels are con.
trolled within small territory.

Cuba. General Marin had taken charge

Cuba General Marin had taken charge
OF the government temporarily and
his responsibility would be shared by
General Pando shortly.
The news that Marshal Campos
had practically been relieved Of his
command caused little excitement in
the city The matter was discussed
in the cafes, restaurants and hotel
Hobbies where the people gather at
night, but there was no sign of
alarm displayed There are many
Span;ards who believe that General
Campos has been altogether too
lenient in his treatment of the rebels
and they clamor for more vigorous
policy. The men who will have
temporary charge Of the civil and
military branches of the government
are known to believe in policy that
will give no mercy to these who are
in arms against the king and it is ex-
pected that vigorous measures will
be taken to suppress the insurrection.
The people here are confident in the
ability of the government to main
tain order here.
Little news, and that Of no im-
portance. has been received from the
front to- day. The rebels have sue
ceeded in cutting off nearly all means
of communication with the interior
Many rumors are in circulation, but
when they are investigated they turn
out to be baseless. One thing is
certain, and that is that Habana is
not threatened by the rebels from
outside They know zull we'll that
the "Gibraltar of the West" could
not be captured by them, and that
even were it possible for them to
capture, they could not hold it, for
q hours against the warships which
would speedily horubard it and drive
them out. The only danger is a
rising on the part Of the Cuban sym
pathizers in the city and that is a
danger that perhaps is hardly apre
ciable in view Of the strong force Of
regular troops and volunteers in the
city and vicinity. Every precaution
has beeu taken to prevent such a ris'
