Among many deeds we hear spoken of
with pride by our citizens we cannot re-
frain from mentioning the case of Mr.. F.
Kiser. This gentleman, having more
corn than he thought was necessary to
last him during the siege of this place,
portioned off what would do him for the
brief interval that must ensue before the
arrival OF succor to our garrison, and
since that time has relieved the wants of
many families free of charge. May he
live and prosper, and his name be handed
down to posterity when the siege of
Vicksburg is written, as one in whose
breast "the milk of human kindness
had not dried up.

We are indebted to Major Gillespie for
a steak Of Confederate beef alias meat.
We have tried it and can assure our
friends that if it is rendered necessary,
they need have no scruples at eating the
meat. 1t is sweet, savory, and tender,
and 80 long as we have mule lett We
are satisfied our soldiers will be content
to subsist on it.

Porter is enjoying season OF rest, and
his men are doubtless obliged to him for
his kind consideration for their welfare.
On Tuesday he fired few shells from his
parrots, and kept his men tolerably busy
sharpshooting across the river, with no
other results than might be expected.
The mortars have not been used for near
ly As hours. Poor fool, he might as we'll
give up the vain aspiration he entertains
of capturing our city or exterminating
our people, and return to his master, to
receive the reward such gasconoding

preciative government at Washington.

under the necessity, in protecting his
property, to wound one or two soldiers
and deprive another of his life. We fully
appreciate the fatigue, hardships and pri-
vations to which our. men are subjected !;
but upon inquiry it may be ascertsined,
that our city is second to none in contri-
buting to the welfare of those gallant
spirits who risk their life and limb for
the achievement of an end which will
make US one OF the most honored people
OF the earth, and such conduct of which
we complain is but base ingratitude. A
soldier has his honor as much at stake as
when a civilian; then let him preserve
his good name and reputation with the
same jealous care as befole he entered
his country's ranks. But 80 long as this
end is lost sight Of so long may we ex.
pect to chronicle scenes Of bloodshed
among those OF our own people. We
make this public exposure, Notifying as
it is to us, with he hope that a salutary
improvement in matters will be made
by our military authorities.

Grants forces did little firing on
that day was comparatively quiet. Yes
terday morning they were very still and
continued 80 until early in the afternoon,
when they sprung mine on the left of
our centre, and opened fire along the line
for some distance. We have not been
able to ascertain anything definitely as
to our loss, but as our officers were on
the lookout for this move of the enemy,
the expectations of the Yankees were not
realized by great deal.

Jerre Askew, one of our most esteemed
merchant-citizens, WAS wounded at the
works in the rear of our city few days
since, and breathed his last on Monday.
Mr.. Askew was young man of strict
integrity, great industry and an honor to
his family and friends. He was member
OF Cowan's artillery, and by the strict
discharge of his duties and his obliging

FREE TO EVERY MAN.
THE METHOD OF A GREAT TREAT
MENT
Which Cured Him After Everything
Else Failed.

Painful diseases are bad enough, but
when a man is slowly wasting away
with nervous weakness, the mental
forebodings are ten times worse than
the most severe pain. There is no let
up to the mental suffering day or night.
Sleep is almost impossible and under
such a strain men are scarcely respon-
sible for what they do. For years the
writer rolled and tossed on the troubled
sea of sexual weakness until it was a
question whether he had not better
take a dose of poison and thus end all
his troubles. But providential inspira-
ton came to his aid in the shape of 4
combination of medicines that not only
completely restored the general health,
but enlarged his weak, emaciated parts
to natural size and vigor, and he now
declares that any man who will take
the trouble to send his name and ad-
dress may have the method of this
wonderful treatment free. Now when
I say free I mean absolutely without
cost, because I want every weakened
man to get the benefit Of my expert
ence.
I am not a philanthropist, nor do !
pose as an enthusiast, but there are
thousands Of men suffering the mental
tortures of weakened manhood who
would be cured at once could they but
get such a remedy as the one that
cured me. Do not try to study out how
I can afford to pay the few postage
stamps necessary to mail the informa-
ton, but send for it, and learn that
there are few things on earth that
although they cost nothing to get they
are worth a fortune to some men and
mean lifetime of happiness to most
of u.s. Write to Thomas Slater, Box

formation will be mailed In a plain

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed
condition of the mucous lining of the

inf1amed you have a rumbling sound
or Imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be de-

NEW YORK, May "a special from
Washington says: For the first time,
a representative Of the Cuban junta
has been received at the state depart
ment. Senior Tomas Estrada Palma,
head of the Cuban junta in New York,
chief delegate in the United States Of
the Cuban government, called at the
state department. Secretary Sherman,
in extending the invitation to Senor
Palma, was obliged to do SO unofficial
ly and to receive him as an American
citizen. The president was also un-
aware of his visit. The proposition that
the Cubans buy the island was discuss
ed by Secretary Sherman. Assistant
Secretary Day and Senor Palma.
It was indicated by Senor Pal
ma that the insurgents are
willing to purchase their freedom at
reasonable price,. A full understanding
prevailed that the necessary funds
could be easily secured to float the
bonds whenever Spain agreed to enter
into negotiations looking to sale of
Cuba. The sanction Of the junta was
given to the proposed institution of
correspondence having in view the re-
linquishment Of control in Spain for a
monetary consideration. The amount
which the Cubans are willing to pay il
discussed, was not divulged.

DECENTRALIZATION EXISTS.
Endeavor Rates to san Francisco be-
ing Freely Cut.

CHICAGO May 29.-Rates for the Chris
tian Endeavor convention at San Francisco
have become badly demoralized. Low as
is the $25 one-way rate, agreed on from
Chicago for the occasion, there is no likeli-
hood of the roads receiving anything like 1T
for each passenger carried. A wild scramble
for the business has been begun by the COM
peting roads. Each has its agents out con-
tracing all business they can find. 1t is
charged that cuts are being made in the
shape of cash donations to the general funds
and free transportation for the general Of
ficers of the societies and the heads of the
various delegations. Just where the trouble
began is hard to determine, as association
roads are trying to fix the responsibility on
outside roads. They in turn repudiate 1t.
and try to fix the blame on the association
roads. which, they claim. are trying to have
the odium fastened on the outside roads, so
that they may be called down by the finan-
cial powers and ordered to become members
of the association. That the decentralization
exists, however nobody tries to deny.

More Valuable Parcels May Here

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-The Universal
Postal congress held another session today
and disposed of several important measures.
The congress raised the limit of value to be
allowed and payable on parcels sent by post
to 1000 francs (s28O), instead Of 500 francs, as
at present. The report on international
money orders was discussed and a reduction
made of one-half of the present tax, which
is 1 per cent on all money orders above 100
francs. An official statement was given out
today, reciting that the principal modifica-
tons made by this congress Of the convention
signed in Vienna in 1891, and which will be
replaced on Jan. 1, 1899, by the treaty Just
agreed upon, are as follows:
First-The taxes on territorial and mari
time transit are to be gradually lessened
every two years, and the abatement of these
expenses will be considerably simplified.
Second-lnternational postal cards not pre-
paid will pay dollar tax in place of assess
letter postage rates, thus reducing the fee
for letters not prepaid from 10 cents to 1
cents.
Third-Samples of merchandise are allowed
in exchanges with countries of the union up
to $50 grammes in the place of 25o grammes
