The late George Maxwell Robeson was
the best abused man that ever held the
portfolio of the navy department.
As secretary under both administrations
of President Grant ne was made the
particular object OF assault by n hostile
partisan committee Of the House Of Repre-
ssntatives but he was unanimously ac-
quilted on all counts.
There was never moment in his
political career when Mr.. fsobeson did
not court the fullest investigation OF
his conduct-Few public men have been
subjected to more malicious criticism.
The period is recalled as hot and stormy
one for the national administration.
But Roteson came out Of the fire un-
Scithed. His name was conspicuous in
.he press OF the day In connection with
scandalous charge but every one Of them
was uisproved and the Democracy was
discredited in Its efforts to humiliate an
honest and vigorous public official

table showing the rates OF interest at
which various cities have borrowed
money this year and last year, the les
son of which is that money is cheaper
and cheaper and that the capitalist gets
a small return for its use Baltimore,
for example, got money in November,
1896, at 3.34 per cent, but in July,
1897, got it at B. 26 per cent Brooklyn
and New York got loans this summer
slightly lower-at 3.21 and 3.l3 per
cent respectively-but all the other
eight cities mentioned paid more than

American Table Manners Not So Open TO
Criticism Formerly.
1t has been conceded that the degree
of civilization people has reached may
be accurately measured by it's dietary
Now, some one has said that the
American feeds, the Englishman de-
YOURS, the Frenchman dimes. In view
of this statement one wonders what the
English have been doing through the
centuries to have advanced so little We
do not pretend to answer for them, but
would say for ourselves, we have been
hewing our way through forests, pio-
neering in every direction, i'll every
sense-ample apology for feeding in
stead Of dining.
But, of course, it was a Frenchman
who made the declaration, and, of
course, he made it long ago, when, NOR
tifying though it be, honesty compels
us to acknowledge that we may have
been guilty Times, however, and con-
ditions have changed, and not even the
most bigoted Frenchman will refuse to
admit that when the American has
reached the dining point he will have
more to dine upon than any other man
in the world The culture of man in
America will demand all the art in his
cuisine that France by study has evolv-
ed, with the added merit of honesty in
his food, the DISCUSSES incident to pow
erty of material not being necessity.

which we have not the advantage and

Among the men wounded in my
regiment at a battle in Virginia, = said
the old soldier, twas a man in my com
pany who was shot through the body
and taken to the rear. Our troops fell
back after the fight, and we had more
wounded than we had transportation
for, but two men out Of his own tent
set ont to carry this man wherever we
were going, which was presumably
the camp behind intrenchments that
we'd left in the morning.
They took turns at backing him for
half mile or so until they came to a
farmhouse that had q grassy yard in
front They laid him down on the grass
and took little look around the house
to see what they could see. In a build
ing at the rear they came across some
thing that made 'em stand still and
look at each other and laugh. 1t was a
hand cart. What use the folks here had
made of it they couldn't guess, but they
knew what use they were going to make
of it, They got it out Of the building
and rolled it around the side Of the
house alongside the wounded man and
dropped the handle ON the grass. He
laughed, too, when he saw it. He was
going the rest Of the way in private
ambulance.
1.-THE two men took their blankets off
their shoulders and united them and
spread their rubbers down ON the bot
tom of the hand cart and spread their
wooden blankets down ON them, and
then they ran the hand cart up and rest
ed the handle ON the front steps of the
house and lifted in the wounded man
and laid their guns in beside him. Then
they turned the cart around again, and
one man got inside the shafts, with the
crosspieee against his waist belt, and
the other man got behind to push. They
all smiled again when they started,
wounded man and all.
