OuuI,Pr Honesty.

In the "ChroniClCS of "A kentuCk Set
tlement"is given an instance of iutcgri-
~ which deserves to he made historical.
1t is related of three brothers who were
importing merchants i'm North Carolina
before the war of the revolution. They
were Quallers, as were many Of the
early colonists Of that state. The story,
if true, goes to show that in this country
private honor is too often superior to
the public conscience. During the war
North Carolina. and we believe others of
the colonies, passed an ordnance re-
quiring citizens owing money to SUBJ
jects of Great Britain to pay the amount
into the treasury Of the state, which
thereby assumed the position Of debtor
to the foreign creditor. Harcourt
Brothers owed at the time large
amount for goods imported, and this
amount they paid as soon as possible to
the state treasurer. After the terminal
ton of the war and signing of the treaty
of peace, the English creditors, unable
TO recover the amount due them from
the state, which had been hopelessly
bankrupted by the long and severe
struggle for independence, demanded
payment from the original debtors. as
they were allowed to do by the terms Of
the treaty OF peace. The Harcourts.
who were honorable merchants, paid
again in fun, although in so doing they
were, in their old age. left comparative-
ly poor-Houth's Companion.

HIS LARGE NOSE.

There was a certain eXciseman in
Shrewsbury who was very trim and
neat in his attire, but he had bottle
nose of more than usual size, says
Life and Letters of DR.. Samuel But
Ter" As he passed through the school
lane the boys used to call him "Nosey,"
and this made him SO angry that he
complained TO DR.. Butler, who sympa-
thized, and sent for the head boy, TO
whom he gave strict injunctions that
the boys should not say "Nosey" any
more.
Next day, however, the exciseman re
appeared even more angry than be
fore. 1t seems that not boy had said
"Nosey," but that as soon as he was
seen coming the boys ranged them
selves in two lines, through which he
must pass, and all fixed their eyes in
tently upon his nose. Again DR.. Butler
summoned the head boy and spoke
more sharply. you have no business"
said he, 'to annoy n man who IS pass
ing through the school on his lawful
occupation. Don't you look at him"
But again the eXciseman returned TO
DR.. Butler, furious with Indignation, for
this time, as soon as he was seen, every
boy had covered his face with his hand
until he had gone by.

what wages are you receiving this

tinued: You see, when we come up
into the woods we never ask what our
wages are going to be. We simply get
OUR job, pack our turkey and start for
camp. In the spring, il we do our work
satisfactory, we get the highest pay
that's going. A good man always gets
fair wages, and the companies invari-
ably treat him right when he gets down
in the spring in the matter of pay. No,
! never ask when | hire out what my
wages will be. There is one very good
reason for this. In the fall the towns
are always full of men hunting for jobs
In the woods and naturally the wages
offered TO those who ask are not very
large. Along toward the LIST of Janu-
airy these fellows get weeded out. Some
of them are dissatisfied with their work
and quit, which leaves n scarcity of men,
and wages go up again. Now, If
should skwhatmy wages were going to
be when | hired out in the fall certain
ly could not expect more than had been
promised me. Experienced woodsmen
understand this, and never ask. and
when they settle up in the spring they
get good pay"

GAVE UP THE CHASE.
The Big Vessel Proved Too Speedy for the
Bancroft.

Bancroft.
KEY WEST, Fla, May $3.50 a. NJ
The unknown steamer supposed to be a
Spanish auxiliary cruiser, sighted by the
Wilmington and Bancroft about Is miles
off Key West, early on Thursday evening,
was not captured. The Bancroft gave up
the chase.
The Wilmington first sighted the
stranger, it now appears, and was about
to steam after her, when the Bancroft
came along and asked her if she had
seen anything of a four-masted steamer
with a yellow smoke-stack. The Will
mington told her of the unknown vessel
she had just observed, which had three
masts and one smoke-stack, and the Ban
on all steam when she saw she was being
chased and made off at a siXteen-knot
clip She had too big a lead on the Ban
croft and the latter after chasing her for
an hour and half, gave it up. Just be-
fore the Bancroft abandoned the pursuit
but night was falling and the gunboat
was unable to make them out The Off
GERS of the Bancroft believe the ship they
chased was a British vessel and that it
was the British flag which was displayed,
but they cannot account for her running
away.
During the chase the Bancroft held up a
number of ships, which were released
after establishing their neutrality.

Chickamauga National Park, Ca,
May 30.-The greatest excitement pre-
vailed in Camp Thomas to-day over a
rumor that general order had been
issued tC all troops in camp here to
proceed at once TO Tampa. Every man
seemed to be glad and there was a gen
eral hustllng about in the various
camps, each man acting as though he
expected tC be ordered to pack his
traps on the instant to be ready to move
to the front. The rumor when traced
to its source by the Associated Press,
proved to be only partly true, only eight
regiments being affected by an order
from the War Department, as follows:
First Ohio. 18th Indiana, Third
Pennsylvania and First Illinois, to be
commanded by Brigadier General ST
mon Snyder; Second New York, Sixty
ninth New York. Fifth Maryland and
First District Of Columbia. under COM
mand of Brigadier General Lewis H.
Carpenter. These regiments are order
cd to proceed at once to Tampa, and
the work of preparation began tonight.
1t is understood that four Of the regi-
mants will leave tomorrow. and the
ether four Wednesday.
With those regiments that arrived to-
day the troops at the park number 49,
C0G.
The usual Decoration Day services
at the national cemetery IN Chattanoo-
ga was varied to-day by a melancholy
event that accentuated the solemnity
and impressiveness of the occasion.
Just before the decoration services be-
gan TWO details of soldiers Grom the
Fifth Illinois regiment entered the
cemetery with the bodies of Private
Frank c. Rcsley and Ludwig Bohnert,
Of that regiment, accompanied by a de-
tachment of the regimental band play
ing a dead march. The cOrtege reach
ed the spot in the cemetery selected for
the interment, where vast cOngrega-
ton of men and women had gathered
to witness the military service for the
dead Chaplain H. w. Davis, of the
Fifth Illinois, held a brief religious
service. after which the remains of the
two young soldiers were buried and the
military salute was fired over the new
made graves. Ladies who had come to
decorate the graves OF the heroes OF
1S61-64, then fairly covered with flowers
and evergreens the graves Of these
young heroes in cause which removes
all sectionalism from the Federal GEM
etery and makes it now national GEM
etery indeed.

The Neumancia a Sample of the Sort OF
Flets She is Preparing to Send Out.

London, May 31.-A dispatch to the
Daily Chronicle from Barcelona refer
ring to the Spanish announcement of
the formation Of third Spanish feet,
including the good ship 'Neumancia,"
under the heading "a resurrected ship"
says:
'sThe Numancia is here, her bulwarls
battered her anchors and chains thick
with rust and he paint all gone. APP
parently she does not carry a single
gun. / am not sure whether she has
engines. Beyond a few sentries. she
certainly has no crew. A small gang OF
men is hammering. swabbing and paint
ing and fifty marines from Carthagena
have been ordered here to do the work
of patching up.
Though official announcements say
that the reserve fleet including the
Numancia is to go to the Philippines,
the orders for the seven thousand men
who were to have gone with it are now
definitely countermanded.'
