arrived here. The. men are Captain
Alfredo Laborde, William Gildes, oua
Melton. William Leavitt and Charles
Barnett, an Englishman. 6
The five men who had escaped the
fate of the Virginia's captives, were
greeted upon their arrival in New York
BY an enthusiastic crowd, who gave
them hearty welcome. The poor
wretches were too weak to respond "a
the cheers which had been given in
their honor. Captain Laborde's brother
was one Of those assembled on the
dock. The meeting between the
brothers was q touching one. The
friends Of the others cried with Joy as
they grasped the hands Of the released
prisoners, whose eyes were sunken,
faces pallid and forms emaciated. Rep
resentatives Of the Cuban junta were
also present and they added their greet.
ing to the men.
Probably the most wretched of the
Competitors crew is Ona Melton, the
newspaper correspondent, whose inten.
tion on going to Cuba was not to par.
ticipate in the war but to report the
true situation in that country.
In describing his capture and subse.
quent treatment, Melton said that when
the first shot was fred by the spanish
gunboat he and two Of his companions
lowered small boat and tried to es
cape. They were pursued and captured

noon he was taken out Of the dungeon,
as he supposed, to be shot. but in the
corridor he met Consul General Lee
who, to Melton's surprise, informed
him that all Of the Competitor prisoner.
had been pardoned. Then he and hit

When arrested Melton weighed 165
pounds, but now he could not pull
down the scales at 100 pounds.

WISE WORDS.

Whoever has a good temper will be
sure to have many other good things.
There is nothing so strong or safe
in an emergency of lite, as the simple
truth.
The violence done us by others is
often less painful than that which we
do to ourselves.
A mans domestic relations seldom
trouble him as much as the relations
of his domestics.
To see plum pudding in the moon
is a far more cheerful habit than
croaking at everything.
No soul is desolate as long as there
is human being for whom it can feel
trust and reference.
1t is not wise to aim at impossible
ties it is waste of powder to fire at
the man in the moon.
When a man is ashamed to look in
a mirror, it is a safe bet that his wife
buys his neckties.
The epochs of our life are not in
the visible facts, but in the silent
thoughts of the wayside as we walk.
A coquette is like rose. Each
lover plucks a leaf; the stem and
thorns are left for the future husband.
We see many men who we think
are happy, yet we know nothing of
the secret workings Of the heart.
If death was only journey to take,
whereby one could for a time forget
all of life's troubles, " how many who
boast of the happiest hearts, would
turn them away and die"

Advanced Organ Grinding.

A capital story is told of Mascagni
md an organ-grinder. Infuriated at
he rapid rate at which his "Intermez-

written it, and ought to know; where
ipon next day the organ-grinder ap-
scared with the placard, Pupil of the
celebrated Mascagni."

The man who eats because he is
hungry is, thus far, on level with the
brutes. The man who stops eating
the moment his hunger is appeased is
the wise man. Nature needs no more
food than she calls for. Continued
excess brings about indigestion or
dyspepsia, with loss of flesh, strength,
sleep, ambition and mental power,
and an accumulation of aches, pains
and many dangerous local maladies.
The stomach noao can do nothing
alone. We must appeal to some arti-
hcially digested food which can also
digest other foods. That is to say,
we must use the Shaker Digestive
Cordial. The effect is prompt and
cheering. The chronic pain and dis
tress ceases. Appetite presently re-
wives. Flesh and vigor gradually comes
back. and the sufferer RECEIVERS. But
he must be careful In future. A trial
