\ Chinese essayist thus describes
the American people; "They live
months without eating a mouthful
Of rice; they eat bullocks and sheep
in enormous quantities; they have
to battle frequently; the men dress
all alike, and, to judge from their
appearance, they are all coolies;
neither are they ever TO be seen
carrying fan or umbrella for they
manifest their ignorant contempt
of these insignia Of gentleman by
leaving them entirely to women;
none Of them have finger nails
more than an eighth Of an inch
long, they eat meat with knives
and prongs; they never enjoy them
selves by sitting quietly on their
ancestors graves, but jump around
and kick balls as if paid to do it,
and they have no dignity, for they
may be found walking with wom-
.en,"

Early in the week several West Wiz
eipla papers published a special dis
match from Camp Thomas, to the eject
mat Colonel B. D. spilmnn, Lieutenant
Colonel Clarence L. Smith and Major
W. H. Banks would resign their COM
missions for the reason that they felt a
dlsiuelInatIon to occupy the role OF
"play soldier" There was not the
least truth In the story from start to
finish, and the papers that printed the
dispatch were the dupes Of an unScrup-
ulous correspondent.
The IuteIllgencer has received q letter
from one OF the officers Of the regiment
In which he asks that the story alluded
to be denied in vigorous language. He
says Colonel spilman. Lieutenant-colo-
mel Smith and Major Banks Will not al
low their business opportunities at
home to induce them to leave the SER
vice of their country before the regl-
pent is mustered out OF the Federal
service. This determination on the part
OF Messrs. spilmaD, Smith and Banks Is
credltable 70 the unselfsh patriotism
that led them to GO out with the boys OF
the First"

yesterday. Yards OF copper wire held
the legs together, and two heGvy stones
