yankee Impudence."

American sense ofhumor was ir-
resi- stibly tickled by the details OF
the capture Of the big steamer
Panama, mounting four IA pound
guns and carrying a crew Of
seventy four, by the little light
house tender Mangrove, mounting
two pound guns and carrying
thirteen men.
There is such a thing as Yankee
impudence, and it is complete de
light-to Yankees anyway. When
Commander Everett got his prize
he could not spare but one man to
take possession Of her, and when
Ensign Dayton, trim and dapper,
Just out Of Annapolis, stepped
aboard the big ship and "took
command" doubtless with the
gravity of an Admiral followed by
500 grim bluejackets, he completed
a picture in contemplation ofwhich
millions of his couutrymen smiled
in delighted approval.

With patience untold--endurance sublime.

Beware of a nation that bears on its crest
No mark of dishOnOr or bar;
That never submitted to tyrant's misrule,
Desirous Of eace-goes to war,
The women are silently trimming the lamps,
For every hero shrine.
And even the children are cheering the flag -
The Blues and the Grays are in line.

There's a hush err sea and land;
Ten million heroes. the bravest and true,
Are waiting the Chiefs command.

His wing is sweeping the harp.

The Manufacture OF Lager Beer.
To anyone desiring to enter into the
brewing business it is advisable in all
cases to employ an expert, one who is
up in all the latest improvements, so as
to plan and fit out the plant properly
whether the plant IS to be large or small.
To manufacture good lager beer. good
buildings and machinery are essential,
and they must be so arranged that no
time nor labor is lost. Many business
Of this character has not succeeded be-
cause OF the poorly arranged method
prepared by incompetent architects.
An up to date brewery is constructed
solely on the gravity plan in it's most
simple form land it is false economy il the
best and most experienced engineer and
architect is not consulted. The most
noted experts in this line of business are
J. d. Parsons & Son, of Philadelphia,
who established themselves in 1869.
One of the many contracts this firm is
now planning and fitting out is the
Little Rock Brewery and Ice Company,
Of Little Rock, Ark. This is the only
brewery in the State, which is something
remarkable when we take into consid-
Grafton the number of breweries other
States have. We would invite iuquiring
friends to address any communications

The government at Madrid has already
begun to restrict or prohibit the publica-
ton of dispatches about military prepara-
lions and the situation I'm Cuba, and ev-
erybody will Immediately interpret this
as a sign of weakness This is what a
censorship generally comes to-the publ

proper for public Information. A govern

is always afraid of its public. or else has
designs that IL wishes to conceal because
II knows the public would oppose them.
