however, that the Spanish are willing
to take the great risk of exposing to

would be required to overmatch Dewey.

Roadway for the dispatching of mill
tary expeditions to Cuba. 1t also has
caused complete change in the con
centration plans. Time is now be-
lieved to be the great factor. There is
no longer opportunity to indulge in ex-
tensive drilling and practice manoeu-
vering.
The regular army troops do not need
these, and are to be thrown at orc :
into the fray. Many of the regiments
of the National Guard which are en-
tering the volunteer service are felt to
be sufficiently trained from military
point of view, to Immediately follow
the regulars, and the department COM
municated its purpose, today, of dis
patching these volunteer troops directly
TO the Gulf coast for shipment, instead
of sending them to Chickamauga.
This disposition was shown by the
changes in the new orders issued to the
troops, although there yet may be a
return to the original programme OF
of weakness IS they develop. The
quartermaster general has already got
ton under charter q merchant steam
ers, fer the transport of troops and
roughly speaking. these should carry
about 20, 600 men. Others are being pro-
cured as rapidly as possible.
The plan of the war department is to
have these vessels assemble at the diff
ferent gulf ports, Tampa, Mobile, New
Orleans and Galveston, to take on
troops which will be sent there. The
navy department is expected to furnish
conveys fer these transports, which
would be absolutely helpless against
Spanish attacks.
At this point there are signs of fric-
ticn. First the transports will be
obliged to await Admiral Sampson
voy, and secondly, the navy objects
very decidedly to undertaking the task
of conveying number of transports
1t insists that to assure the safety OF
the convoy of the troops all of the
transports should be gathered in one
fleet to start from Tampa, and the navy
is likely to prevail in this.
Now that Major Gen. SewelI has beer
assigned to command the concentra
ton camp at Falls Church. prepare
tons are Icing rushed to put the
grounds there in shape for the recep

all OF these have spent the sweat Of

at the Spaniard's feet. Then came o

What Dewey's Ancestors Did.

Somebody has dug out of "Jen
nings's History of Vermont" an enter
tanning story of Admiral Georges
godly ancestor, the Rev. Jedediah
Dewey. 1t seems that the Rev. Jede.
diah was holding services in honor Of
the victory at Bennington, and, as was
right and proper, was giving Provi
dence all the credit for the triumph OF
the American arms. Ethan Allen,
who was present, cbafed under this
neglect of his own part in the battle,
and, rising in his pew in the middle
of the "long prayer, as it was called,
said: "Parson Dewey, Parson Dewey,
Parson Dewey" The clergyman
stopped and opened his eyes. The
intrepid Allen went on: "Please men
ton to the Lord about my being
there" Not daunted by this out
rageous interruption, the holy mar
thundered: "Sit down, thou bolt
blasphemer, and listen to the word o.
God. "-Philadelphia Record.

The famous English statistician,
Mr.. Mulhall, has made estimates Of
the wealth of the leading nations of
the world at the end of the year 1895.
His figures are as follows: United
States, $S1, 75O, 900, 600; Great Britain,
$50. .030, 900, 900; France, $47, $50, ,000,- :
900; Germany, $40, $50, 900, 900; Rus
sia, $S2, 125, 900, 900; Austria, $22,-
$50, 900, 900; Italy, SIS, 800, 900, 900;
Spain, 81, 900, 100000 The COM
parative figures for annual earnings
are as follows: United States, S15,-
$50, 900, 900; Great Britain, $7,115,
900, 900; Germany, So, 402, 900, 900;
France, So, 995, 900, 900; Russia, S5,-
O2O, 900, 900; Austria, SO, 3,535, 900, 900;
Italy, so, 1SO, 100000; Spain, 1885,
900, 900. 1t will be seen that the
United States leads all the other ma
tions in wealth and still further in
annual earnings. Compared with
Spain, we have nearly seven times as
much property, while our annual
earnings are twelve times as much.
The difference in the average intelli-
gence of the two nations is even
greater.

An Archaeological Discovery in Greece
A new Pompeii was discovered some
time ago at Pyrene, in Greece, and the
work of excavation, which was abap.
doned for time ON account of lack of
funds, or some such reason, has been
taken up again with renewed vigor.
The whole plan of the little town, which
has been preserved almost as marvel
ously as Pompeii, Is being laid bare.
Up to the present time no Greek town
has been SO well excavated, it is said.
All the streets are intact, with their rows
of houses on each side. A Temple ci
Minerva has been discovered, founded,
legend says, by Alexander the Great,
and there are great hopes that soon
the theatre will be unearthed. In
Switzerland, too, archeologists have
been at work. At Geneva workmen
engaged on repairing the Tour do PIle
came across bronze sword in excel
lent preservation. From the descrip.
tion the weapon seems to date from
the latter part of the Bronze Period.
1t has now been deposited in the local
archaeological museum. San Fran

Nipsic, but miraculously reached the

Nipsic, but miraculously reached the
shore.
A third man, q brawny fireman,
after studying the currents carefully,
threw off the few remaining stitches
of clothing which he wore, leaped
boldly overheard and struck out
bravely for the Nipsic.
A shout went up as he reached her,
and drew himself on board; but he
carried no rope from the Vandalia,
so his herculean efforts availed us
nothing.
Still we clung on, one hundred and
fifty Of us, faint and weary, awaiting
our end as the darkness settled around
us.
But God had willed that we be
spared. About half past seven in the
evening we saw the dim flicker of
lights to windward and gradually
drawing nearer.
A few minutes later a dark, heavy
mass brought up on our windward
side with crash. 1t was the Trenton!
and what remained of the Vandalia's
crew swung themselves quickly on
board of her.
Ere the last man of us had left the
Vandalia's slackened rigging, the
main and mizzen masts of our once
gallant ship toppled into the sea, COM
pleting her destruction. All that re-
mained of her was a sunken hulk,
over which still hoated the Stars and
Stripes.
The Trenton's lower decks were
under water, and her stern pounded
heavily upon the reefs far into the
night, but the sun rose clear and
beautiful over a sea of perfect calm.
In its day of fury forty-three of our
comrades and more than one hundred
others had been destroyed, with fleet
of costly ships.
Now it was Sunday; and the four
hundred and fifty persons on the
Trenton-her own crew and what re-
NAMED of the Vandalia s-were trans.
ported to the shore, where memorial
services were held for the departed
souls of the brave. Youths Com

Devices For Detachinr Horses.

OF late quite number of inven-
tions have been put out, the object of
which is to detach runaway horse
from the vehicle. Many advantages
are claimed for this idea in its various
forms. A careful overlooking, how
ever, of the subject does not warrant
very much enthusiasm as to the inven-
tion. In the first place, no horse
should be allowed to run away. THIS
assertion does not, of course, apply to
sudden accidents or frights where
horses are sure to become unmanage.
able almost on the instant, and may
oyerturn or plunge into any obstruc-
tion before the driver has time or op-
portunity to get them under control.
The idea of suddenly detaching the
horse at full speed is most unprac-
tical one. If the vehicle were running
ON tramway where the momentum
would carry it only in straight line
this might do. 1t would be on the
same principle of breaking the coup.
ling of a car. But ON any ordinary
road, however good, a wheel of the
vehicle might, while still going at a
high rate of speed, strike a stone OF
any trifing obstruction and throw il
out of line, precipitate it into ditch
or capsize it altogether.
Inexperienced horsemen are warned
against any device that processes tc
bring safety by detaching the horse
when at high rate of speed. If one
were likely to run into the ocean,
down an embankment or into rail
way train, the detaching device might
be of benefit, but the chances are that
it would dprecipitate calamity instead
of averting it.-New York Ledger.
