MY LOVES BROWN EYES.

For the State Herald.
Two lustrous eyes of purest brown.
Bright as the brightest rubies known.
NV love has, who is all my own
My own true love.
Her smiles with dimples tell me so:
Her lips express her souls love. too;
Her honest eyes of deep brown glow
With pure, true love.
No. no; deceit could never hide
In her bright eyes-love's fairest pride
For truth the curtain opens wide
And love is shown.
From depths of brown warm loye-Hgn1
glows,
A warming heart it's own love shows.
A soul it's virtuous love bestows-
And dove Is known.
The iustrous brown of gem or stone,
or art, the brightest ever known,
Pales into shadows when is shown
My true loves eyes;
Like agate set in purest gold,
AS tiny threads the gem-stones hold,
So thoughts of love in truth enfofd
My loves brown eyes

War Is Cruelty.

Chicago Chronicle.
War is horrible barbarism. whether
waged in the island of Cuba or in the
Shenandoah valley.
The captains General directed by Spain
to suppress the insurrection in Cuba-re-
sorts to measures so harsh that humane
persons affect to stand aghast.
When General Grant ordered General
Sheridan into the valley of the Shenanrs
doah in the fall of 1864 he said to him in
substance: You will SO clear out that
valley, destroy every particle of seed and
food supply, that crow flying over the
valley would be compelled to carry its
own rations."
The illustration is General Grants own.
The substance of his instruction is given.
1t is not recorded that the Spanish cortes
met for the purpose of entering protest
against General Grants proceeding In the
Shenand oah-a proceeding that was as
barbarous, as heartless and as necessary
for the Shenandoah had fattened alter
mating armies and the rebels had looked
upon it as their granary. as any order
issued by the captain-general OF Cuba.
War is savagery; war is horrible. Even
those humane elements Of later genera
lions that have entered into its conduct
relieve but little the essential brutality
of war.
If the United States approved General
Grants order to General Sheridan con-
corning the Shenandoah, they need have
no worry about the eaptafn-generafs Or
, ders in Cuba. To crush a rebellion re-
quires strong hand. as the United
States found out. Men must die by thou
sa nds Disease must be spread from the
camp to the cities. Finances must be
dis0rdered, corruption must stalk over
the land. thousands of homes must be
neudexed deselate. in oT5ar that success
shall be aensegeE.
The snsurgent 10 CUBA n no rnore saw
age than the Spaniard; the Spaniard no
more savage than the insurgent.

With a gesture that bordered on con-

ed young man rose hastily from the
chair, where he had flung himself but a
moment before, and started towards the
door. Turning on the threshold, he faced
the almost SpeechlesS girl who had just
told him, with an air of apparent indiffer-
ence, that she could not consent to be-
come his wife.

lower tone. Little did dream when /

From a paper read at recent meeting
of the Chicago Trade Press association
by Mr.. A. III. Lockwood, we quote a
list of hints to writers regarding the
meaning of certain words in common use
which have synonyms, or words very
nearly synonymous:
Abortive means untimely In it's birth
and so brought out before 1t Is well ma
tured. A plan may be abortive, but an
act cannot.
Ability and capacity are not exact syn
onyms. The former is the power of ap-
plying. the latter of acquiring. knowl-
edge.

of. and is not equivalent to irritate.

The South's Strength.

ST. Louis RepuDllc.
In an address full of facts and figures
concerning the resources of the south,
Ex-senator Walsh of Georgia makes this
surprising statement: Alabama alone
has more coal and iron and ten times as
much standing timber as the state of
Pennsylvania"
The purpose of this illustration was to
show the future manufacturing develop
ement of the south.
Notwithstanding the south's distinct
advantages in inexhaustible supply of
fuel and raw material the one state of
Pennsylvania has $300080000 more in
vested in manufactures than the COM
bined southern states.
With new harbors and an increased
population the south must eventually
wrest much of the manufacturing bust
ness from the east. This favored section
has for the first time since the formation
of the union become aggressive in its
business methods. 1t is drawing popula-
ton from the northwest and factories
from the east.
Having gone far enough to demon
strate its possibilities, the south Will not
be content to stand still. Its chief for
tune is the appreciation of its own
strength
