are not effective in warfare; he knew
better than to attemp' to bew rocks

could not select his ground for fighting
IN this continuous siege of fortified
lines; for, though he and bis chief Of
hcers applied al their experience and
skill in endeavors to mar n lver the
enemy out of strong positions before
attacking him, his foe was often too
able and willy to fall into the traps set
for him, and had to be struck in posi-
tons which were far from Grants
choosing. When Lee stopped fighting
the cause of secession was lost. If
Grant had stopped fighting the cause of
the Union would have been lost. He
was assigned one of the most appalling
tasks ever intrusted to a commander.
He did bis duty fearlessly to the bitter
end, and t'iumphed. In thirteen
months after Lincoln banded him his
commission of ieu,enan'-general, and
intrusted to him the command of the
armies. the war was virtually ended.

lion and received rapid promotion for
gallant conduct in action. He was APP
pointed on General Grants staff as a
lieutenant colonel, aud thereafter was a
constant companion of the late general,
the close companionship expiring only
at the death of Grant. AT the Gle se of
Grants administration in 1873 General
Porter became vice-rresdent of the
Pullman Car Company. He has held
the Office ever since and has been influ-
entially connected with many other
business and financial enterpris es, So

on foot the campaign through which
the money to complete the Grant mon
ument was raised in two months.
John Hay was born in Indiana in
1889. He was graduated from Brown
University in 1858 and he began the
study of law in Springfield, Ill. He
became an intimate personal friend OF
Abraham Lincoln and Of John G.
Nicoley, also resident of Springfield.
When Lincoln went TO the White
House in 1861 Hay was appointed as
sistant private secretary. Hay was
appointed the presidents aide-de-camp
in 1864 and he served for several
months under Gilmore and Hunter,
being breveted Northumberland in
recognition Of his services. Hay was
appointed sul.general at Paris by
President johnson in 1865. He was
sent to Vienna as charge d'sffairs in
1867, and upon his resignation was APP
pointed secretary OF legation at Mad

on the Tribune in 1870, remaining with
that journal five years. He has pub
lished several poems of wide popular
ity and, in collaboration with John G.
Nicolay, has written a biography of
Lincoln which is a standard work.

Protection for Farmers.

The farmer who buys Bradley's Fer

every pound of every brand something,
the value of which cannot be reckoned
in dollars and cents, viz: The direct
application in the manufacture of the

edge possessed by mankind on the sub
ject of practical fertilization. The
Bradley Fertilizer Company chemists
are constantly in touch with the most
advanced agricultural thoughts of the
world. Their experimental farms are
used as safeguard for their customers.
Unlike others, they never experiment
at their patrons expense. Their buy
ers purchase only the highest grade
fertilizing material in the markets of the
world, leaving inferior grades for 9TH

Their experienced executive depart

The EyacuatiOn-Of Cuba.

News from Havana and Madrid in
dicates that crisis is near in the CO.
l)nial affairs of Spain. The Spanish
government is confronted with threat
ened revolutions of Carlists and Repub-
cans at home, besides the bloody wars
in Cuba and the Philippines. What is
still more grave is that the national
purse is empty, and all the efforts of
Spain to conceal her desperate situation
become useless in the face of her hope
less bankruptcy.
What, except the beginning of the
abandonment of Cuba, are we to infer
from the report that General Wey,er
is concentrating at the seaports his
troops of the interior? What else
means the news that 5000 soldiers,
ready to sail from Cadiz to Cuba, have
suddenly changed their destination to
go to the Philippines? Spain, without
money and credit, cannot maintain two
colonial wars and keep peace at home.
Sac is obliged to choose between the
Philippines aud Cuba, and she ap-
p 3ars to prefer the Archipelago; but,
like all Spanish state resolutions, 'per-
haps this one also is too late.
AmeIlCd was OuCc tuc prOnlstu iahu
Of the Spaniards. But America was
lost, and when the Spaniards in the
nineteenth century thought of Africa,
as Cervantes hal advised them to do
in the sixteenth century, it was zoo late.
More powerful European nations had
the control of that continent.
When, in 1864, Cuba rose in arms,
Spain was advised to leave Cuba and
promote her power in the Philippines.
Victor Hugo, however, being op posed
to all colonial expressions, wrote to
Spain: "Abandon Cuba and take Gil
braltar." Spain subdued the Cubans
after war Of years, but she neglected
the Philippines and did not increase
her power at home. What is the re
suit now? She has no Africa; she has
no Gibraltar; she is approaching
downfall in the Philippines; she seems
to be on the eve of the evacuation of
Cuba.-New York Sun.

A MAGNIFICENT
NEW
REFERENCE Work
Edited by JOHN CLARK RIDpATH, LID.

Everyone who has had occasion to consult
information, effectually concealed In some
long article, will be glad to know Of the
appearance Of a new general reference work
built along different lines, so that any child
who can read may successfully consult it.
Such a work is The New Standard Ameri-
can Encyclopedia in eight large quarto
volumes, and which embraces the substance
Of all the other encyclopedias, besides very
large amount of new up-to-date matter none
of them contain. 1t introduces vast number
Of new words, names, facts, ideas, inventions,
methods, and developments. 1t treats, in
all, over 10000 topics, which is from 5000
TO 10000 more than any other work. The
publishers Of the " Standard American have
also lavshly embellished the new work. There
are over $500 illustrations, which cover every
conceivable subject, lending new interest to
the descriptions, and forming succession Of
pleasing surprises. 1t also contains over 900
colored maps, charts, and diagrams and con-
stitutes a complete atlas of the world such as
no other encyclopedias has undertaken to pre-
sent This feature will be found of the
highest value in the education of the young,
for the pictures and colored maps will have
distinct fascination for them, and thus prove
an important incentive to reading and study.
Another feature in which the new work
stands absolutely alone, is in its very full ap-
u,bi Oh 81
sions, including Biographical Dictionary, a
Dictionary Of Technical Terms, Gazetteer OF
the United States, Presidential Elections in
the United States. Religious Summaries, State
the population of the world and veritable
mine Of information on thousands of subjects
Of universal interest and Importance.
But it is in its treatment of recent subjects
that the Standard American will be found Of
paramount value. All other encyclopedias
are from FIVE to ten years old and are silent
regarding hundreds of topics that every refer
ence work should contain. Such, for instance,
as "The X Ray" "Argon," Horselcss
Carriages" 1.-THE Atlanta Exposition"
"Color Photography" etc., etc. It also gives
biographies of hundreds of people who have
lately become famous, such as Prof. Roentgen,
discoverer of the tx Ray" Ian Maclaren,
DR.. Nansen, the explore Rudyard Kipling,
ETC., etc. On account of its lateness In all
these matters, as well as its accuracy, it
has become the standard in Schools Colleges,
Courts, Public Libraries, and wherever i'm.
portaut questions come up for discussion.
1t would therefore seem that no professional
man, artisan, mechanic, teacher, pupil. or
farmer, can well afford to be without this most
useful, practical, and latest Of all encyclo-
pedias, especially as its price has been so ar
ranged as to make the work great bargain,
and render its possession possible to almost
anyone who earnestly desires to own It.
Detailed particulars regarding the work
and how TO secure 1t at practically your own
price, may be found in an advertisement on
another page Of this issue.

sing no sot with eyes blood-shot,
Sing not the staggering throng,
sing the song of the ginless sot,
The wineless drunkard's song;
The man who drinks the air as wine,
Who quaffs with thirsty eye
The dazzle of the tumbling brine,
The glamour of the sky;
The man whom sunlight makes elate,
Who loves the storm winds strife;
sing the strong inebriate
Drunk with the wine OF life.
Fair dreams his sane delrium throng;
Hear ye the wineless drunkard's song
The wineless drunkard drinks the mirth
And music of the nom,
And hears the glad voice of the earth
Speak in the nesting corn;
He drinks the whiffs from off the mesds,
The spray from sailed seas,
The fragrance blown from waving reeds
And blossomed apple trees.
From many lily-bordered Drinks
Where summer rivulets stray
The glsdness of the earth he drinks,
The freshness of the day;
He drinks, and life grows fair and strong;
Hear ye the wineless drunkard's songl
The incense hat the meadow yields
Within his brain is wrought,
The business of the tangled fields
Is blooming In Lis thought;
The inland songs of murmurous brooks
Along their reedy Drinks;
The babbling strains from blossomed hooks
OF tipsy bobolinks;
The breaths that float from bloom and brake,
The songs from vale and knoll,
Surge in upon his dI cams and make
summer in his soul.
And lofty is his Joy and strongi
Hear ye the wineess drunkards songl
And when the iower-bells are curled
Within their dewy rest.
The spirit of the darkling world
Pervades his pensive breast.
His spirit drinks the peace that lies
on lakes beneath the moon
Outspread beneath the midnight skies,
Fringed with the wealth of June;
Deep doth the eternal silence press
Around our eremite,
His soul bathes 10 the quietness
And mystery of the night;
And deep his spirit broods and long;
Hear ye the wineless drunsard's songl
