THE SOLDIER BOYS.

There were many more native-born
soldiers in the Union armies during the
civil war than there were foreign-born
soldiers.
Each German army corps is to be
equipped with portable crematory. 1t
resembles Il huge baking oven, and is
drawn by eight horses.
Osman Latrobe, Jr., and Stewart jan
ney, two young men well known in the
social life of Baltimore, have created
s0mew hat of a sensation in that city by
sailing for Cuba in order to join the
insurgents.
No less than 535 discharged soldiers
were among the 1850 persons who
passed through the casual ward of the
Nottingham tEngland) poorhouse dur
ing the first three months OF this year.
Burglars broke into the barracks OF
the One Hundred and Thirtieth infan-
try regiment in the Rue &c Babylone in
Paris recently, carried off the safe with
$4,000 bodily, and forcing the colonels
safe stole his private valuables.
y famous regiments colors, those of
the Seaforth Highlanders, are to be
sold at auction in London soon. They
formed part of the heirloons belonging
20 the grandson of former colonel of
the regiment.
Cordite does not shatter the body as
much as gunpOwder. The inference is
drawn from the condition OF the head OF
n royal artilleryman at Dover, who had
fired into it the cordite cartridge of a
new Martini-Metford rifle.

For your Protection. Catarrh "Cures" or

For your ProtectiOn.-C atarrh "Cures" or
Tones for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken
internally, usually contain either Mercury Or
lodide of Potassa, or both, which are injur-
ious if too long taken. Catarrh is local, not
blood disease, caused by sudden change to
cold or damp weather. 1t starts in the nasal
passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat.
Cold in the head causes excessive flow of
mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re-
suits of catarrh will follow; severe pain in
the head, roaring sound in the ears, bad
breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis
charge. Theremedy should be quick to allay
inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's
Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for
these troubles and contains no mercury
nor any injurious drug. Price, SO cents.

The Mountain Resort Still in Popular

For several weeks past Oracle has
been the headquarters of quite num-
Der of local and eastern health-seekers.
At that pleasant hosiery the guests
soon become acquainted, and take
pleasure in exchanging their ideas on
the subjects which came under their
observation. There were several things
upon which all agreed. For instance
that the locality was most pleasant and
salubrious, that Mrs. Neal was the
queen OF hostesses, and that to find
such q hotel and such service so far
away from the railroad was like apleas-
ant dream. All prophesied a great
future for Oracle. Capt. G. j. Flower,
of Illinois, who is visiting his cousin,
Col. Fred Steward, of Ohio, declared
that the government. would surely erect
fort there to protect the country from
the expected attack of Spain. Col. Fred
Steward conceded IN this opinion and
suggested the propriety OF mounting
long range guns to protect the mer-
ceant marine on the Santa Cruz River.
The other guests did not take such
martial views of Orscle's future pcs
slbilitles.
Professor Coke, of New York, sug-
gested a coffee plantation. Jack Al
Wrinkle declared that nothing could
beautify the place more than herds of
fine cattle roaming over its hills and
gentle slopes; but the Bayless brothers
contended that nothing could add more
to the native duties o: the place than
herds of fine sheep and goats attended
by gentle shepherdesses. Mr.. w. a.

ious nature is being fomented in Spain,

by agents of the Cuban insurgents. The
Minister of the Interior, Senior Gascay-

the chamber of deputies, admitted that
riots had occurred in Valencia, caused
by friends OF the Cuban insurgents,
who hoped thereby to prevent the de-
parture OF reinforcements Of troops for
Cuba. Hitherto the DC pulsr demon
strstions have been attributed entirely
to protests against the imposition Of
the pew taxes, made Necessary by the
financial strain the government has
been subjected to through carrying on
the Cuban war against the insurgents;
but while the government Is willing to
admit that the riots have been instigat-
ed by agents of the Cuban revolution
iste, it is generally admitted that the
roots of the trouble are much deeper,
and that they are being nourished by a
natural feeling of alarm and dismay at
the apparent utter inability of the gov,
eminent to cope with the situation in
Cuba.
