When | sat down TO write | did
not intend to bore you with my
troubles, but you know women will
talk. / want to tell you about The
Great Stone Face before ! let you
go. In a certain valley inhabited
by many thousand people there
also lived a woman aud her son,
whose name was Ernest. There
had long been an old tradition ex-
tant among the inhabitants OF this
valley that one day a man would
appear whose face resembled The
Great Stone Face carved by Ma
lures own hand in the majestic
rocks Of a mountain in those re-
giOns. Late one afternoon, when
the golden rays OF the dying sun
painted the features Of the fabulous
rock with a tenderness and beauty
which made it appear lifelike, Ern-
est and his mother were sitting at
the door OF their humble home
looking at The Great Stone Face.
As they sat there in the mellow ev-
ening twilight, she told him the
story. 1t set his heart and soul
athrill with hope and joy the hope
that he would live 10 see a man
with such . majestic face; the joy
that meeting such a man would
bring 70 his own life. The years
rolled by, and Ernest grew in wis
dom as well as years. As he tOiled
in the fields, the story was ever
with him. 1t was the song Of his
soul by day, and the burden Of his
dreams by night. He tOiled on and
dreamed and waited. One day )

rich. His ships OF merchandise
sailed on every sea. The north
furnished him furs; Africa sent
him the ivory tusks Of her eIe-
phanis; the gorgeous East enrich
ed him with her diamonds and
pearls. After aecumulating an
immense fortune, GathergOld de-
cided to return to the home OF his
childhood. Even the yellow cur
rent Of gold had not so far frozen
the "genial current Of his soul" as
to make him entirely forget the

he had a magnificent palace built
in the valley. After itseOmpletiOn,

Screaming.

The past few days has witnessed
the most wonderful display of
gushing patriotism and windy
vauntlng that has seized on Con-
gress for many years. The great
American Eagle has been fed on raw
beef and gunpowder until he don t
know how to do a thing but scream.
Southern Representatives are con-
suming a good deal Of their valu-
able time in making wordY
speeches assuring the country that
the South is loyal to the Union, as
if there was really some doubt
about it. This sort of talk is Just
a little bit disgusting to the aver
age southern man. II we must
fight we prefer doing so with less
noise and bluster md fewer pro-
testations, Bolivar Democrat.

The Picturesque Post.

The Vicksburg Post may not bC
ide most temperae paper in Mis-.
sissippi, but it io so picturesque
that even its enemies must give il
the credit Of being interesting and
consistent, The following article
does not give Mr.. Bryan his just
dues by any means, and manifests
a spirit Of intolerance Of the ideas
which he and his large following
hold withunquestionablc sincerity;
but its spicy character is abundant
excuse for its reproduction;
sit is ineXcusabIe in the Spaniads
to NEEDLE with American affairs
to the extent of creating a boom
for Fitzhugh Lee for President in
1900. Globe Democrat.
And ineXcusabIe, also, to make
prominent a man who believes
that free silver is craze and its
chief exponent Bryan an arrant
humbug.
And some Kansas and Massa-
chusetts meddIers have suggested
Lee for President. What can they
be thinking about Lee never
made a free silver speech in his
life, and would die before he would
make such a speech. Lee is not
much of speeeh-maker anyhow.
But Bryan that paragon of per-
fection ! that matchlcss statesman ! |
that superhuman epitome Of all
that is great and good and noble
and Is to can talk for three
hours at stretch without saying
worthy Of ward politi-
cian, and it is now proposed to
ignore him and give a gold stand
ard man the Democrat Presiden-
5ial nomination. What is the
country coming to2 1t appears
% be drifting back to the days of
Washington and Jefferson, when
professional agitators and champ
ons of trusts were at discount. "

Or. Andrews on General Lee.

In closing his fine address on the
life and achievements of General
r. Il. Lee in this city, on last
Monday night, DIR. Andrews. "f
Brown University, recited some
eloquent lines from Sir Thomas
MaIlory's "Morte d'Arthur, :"
Mallory wrote in the time of Ed
ward III, and his book was first
printed by Caxton, at London, in
1885. The lines referred to were
Sir Ector's eulogy over the death
of Sir LaunceIot, the foremost
knight of Arthur's round table.
Said Sir Ector:
"Ah Launcelot, thou vert head
of all Christian knights; and now
| dare say Sir Launcelot, as there
thou lest thou never vert match
ed or earthly knight Oand; and
thou vert the courtliest knight
ever bare shield; and thou vert the
truest friend to thy lover that ever
bestrode horse; and the truest
lover among sinful men that ever
loved woman; and thou vert the
kindest man that ever strake with
sword; and thou vert the goodliest
person that ever came among
press Of knights; and thou vert |
the meekest man and the gentlest
that ever ate in hall among ladies';
md thou vert the sternest man to
.hy mortal foe that ever put spear
n rest."-Picayune.

Is Quarantine Of Any Use ?

The Literary Digest, under thi,
caption, says;
English medical papers moi
only consider our quarantine
methods absurd and antiquated.
but poke fun at our physicians for
giving them eountonance. The
Hospital, London, objects particu-
lorIy to Senator Callery's bill for
the more strict enforcement of
quarantine against yellow fever,
and it is shocked at an article in
the Medical News, of New York,
commencing the measure, and urg-
ing its passage The Hospital is
thus quoted;
ut does not surprise us that an
Ignorant population should stand
ON guard at railway stations with
loaded firearms, and should for
bid trains to stop or passengers to
a'lght, but it does surprise us to
find Il medical contemporary even
appearing to admit that the paper
pIausibiIities of quarantine are
able to confer some kind of degree
Of additional security upon states
in the vicinity Of those which may
be visited by yellow fever epi-
demic. The belief that any such
security can be afforded in the
manner indicated is one which
could hardly fail to spring up and
flourish during the darkness of the
middle ages"
The article goes on to give
short history of the Intellectual
efforts to combat plague by quar-
antine from the 18th century until
comparatively modern times, the
only result of which was to "cause |
the maximum Of loss and incon-
venience to healthy people, and
The maximum of injury to trade"
md concludes as follows:
IF plague or yellow fever were
brought to any English port, the
Cctual sick would be landed and
placed in proper hospital for the
reception of infectious cases; the
ound would be permitted to pro-
eed to their several destinations,
he sanitary authorities Of which
you'd be instructed to keep them
nder observation until all danger
yas past, and to send them to hos
itals if the disease should show
self in them; and the ship and its
lrgo would be subjected to disin-
,ction. When We had quaran- {
ne, plague and cholera were not {
My introduced, but destroyed
leir thousands. During the last
epidemic, cholera was f
troduced into many Of our ports, |
I'd it fzzled out rs harmless as a /
GIFTED match on a stone floor"

THE MAINE REPORT.

The report of the Court Of In
quiry, for which the nation has
been waiting, breathlessly, calmly,
noisily or silently, according 10
the individuality of the waiter, is
at last before the people, and the
heavens have not fallen.
The report states succinctly, and
in severely official terms, the fol-
lowing facts;
The Name lay, at the time of
the explosion, in five and a half to
six fathoms of water.
The discipline on board was ex-
cellent, everything was in order,
and the temperature of the maya
zine was normal.
! There were two explosions, with
a short interval between them.
The ship lifted on the first explo-
sion.
The court could form no definite
opinion Of the condition of the
wreck from the divers evidence.
The court deduces that the mine
was exploded under the ship.
The explosion was due to no
fault of those on board
The court believes that the ex-
plosion Of the mine caused the ex
plosion of the ships magazines.
The court cannot fix the respon-
sibility from the evidence. There
is no mention made either of Spain |
or the Spanish.
This is absolutely all there is Of |
the long expected document which
many thought, and apparently
hoped, would be the torch to touch
off an explosion Of national fury
which would hoist the Spanish
navy out of the water and far
around with fragments strew the
sea.
But this chilling official docu-
ment is as far removed from SEN
sationalism, as it Is possible to
The facts elected by
the examination were practically
known long before. The announc-
ment has done nothing to increase
Or mitigate the feeling of deep
outrage at the destruction Of nat I
onal property, and far more, at '
he wanton murder of near three |
hundred sleeping men. The i'm '
possibility Of fixing the RESPONSE /
,ility may take the destruction of il
he Maine out of consideration as c
casus belli, but the stigma will #
emain, and the resentment of Ii
american people is such that o
hould war break out on some Il

less powder, except approximately. But,
satisfied as to the Spanish position, our
men worked like mad. The Spanish
fire gradually slackened, and in less
than an hour 1t ceased altogether.
After that only one aggressive move
was made by the Spaniards. 1t re-
suited in defeat, and they abandoned
Ell Caney. At about 10 o'clock the
enemy dashed straight for the Ameri-
can lines. In one or two places our
men fell back from their position, but
quickly rallied and drove the enemy
back pell-mell into their own bitches.
The Spanish losses must have been
frightful, as they. were exposed to a ter
rife fire Tor quarter Of an hour. The
losses on the American side were light,
as our soldiers lay behind trees and
had every advantage.
Even after capturing Ell Caney and
San Juan and advancing upon Aqua

not done. 1t was necessary to hold
these positions against any sortie. I'm

John Randolph includes this illustra-
tive anecdote, the chief justice alluded
to being, it is presumed, his political
foe, John Marshall Of the United
States court. In some Of Randolph's
peculiarities he seems to have taken
pride. One which he cultivated with
care was an exaggerated precision Of
pronunciation. This led him to correct
without hesitation whatever he con-
sidered blunder in that respect. In
one Of his irritable moods at Roanoke
he grew very impatient for his cup

Hawaiian Music.

The singing of the native Hawaiians
is always melodiQus and pleasing. The
Kanaka has quick ear for music and
learns new airs with facility. Yet, no
matter what selection is sung by the
natives, and no matter how closely the
notes are followed, the singing is al
ways peculiarly plaintive, due, no
doubt, to some subtle, indefinite quail
ity Of the singers voices. Their sing
ing is at it's best out Of doors, and
particularly when they are upon the
water and the airs are their own
