 He was walking on the Western railroad, and it was very dark, when about two and a half miles from Selma in the dark ness he was suddenly felled to the earth by blow on the jaw which knocked him senseless. MT. Anderson coming from Montgomery, and got off the night train at the junction, walking from there into Selma When he came to his senses he was lying across the railroad track and he discovered that he had been robbed of $l2. MT. Anderson says it was so dark and the attack on him was so sudden he could not tell whther his assailant was white man or a negro.
 MT. Anderson came to the recruiting headquarters of the Eighth United States Infantry in Selma Journal office this morn- ing and enlisted. He says he has spent several years in the English army in for eign countries, and he had made up his mind to enter the United States service to avenge the loss of the Maine.

Like Dewey

From the New Orleans Times-D Democrat.
 It was on the 1st of May (new style; 18th of April old style) that Sir Francis Drake with twenty-eght ships burst like thun- derbolt into the bay of Cadiz, and in eleven days destroyed there hundred Spanish men-of-war, without losing ship or a man.
 The 1st of May must be a fatal day in the Spanish naval calandar If their sail ors are as superstitous as ours, they will never fight battle on the 1st of May again One of Dewey's men said to him just before the fight at Manila that he hoped he would not fight on the Srd of May. The reason was that the man was at Chancei- lorsville and got thrashed on that date.
 Sir Francis Drake was one of those men who make epochs. Of his fleet only three belonged to Queen Elizabeth; the rest were owned by himself and his associates. The first thing he did was to drive the Spanish ships under the protection of the fortiflcations, exactly as Dewey did. The

MISS CiSNEROS TO MARRY
Will Wed Carles CarboneI, Who Assisted Karl
 Decker in Lbera,ing Her.

Washington. May 20.-Evangelina Cossio y Cisneros, the young Cuban girl, is soon to wed MT. Carlos Carbonel, the former Cuban banker, who was yesterday nomi- mated to be lieutenant and aide on the staff of Major-General F'itzhugh Lee.
 When Karl Decker went to Havana with the express purpose of liberating Miss Csneros, he found a trusted lieutenant in the person of Carbonel, although, like Mir. Decker, he was at the time unacquainted with the fair young Cuban When the night of the rescue from the Havana prison came, MT. Carbonel was at Decker s side during the entire affair.
 To Carbone1 was entrusted the duty and privilege of accompanying the girl to New York Companionshp between the two natives of a common cline soon ripened into love, and the usual details of court ship followed, with the result that the wedding will shortly take place, probably before Lieutenant Carbonel shall be or dered into the field, although no definite time has been decided by.

GEN. MERRITT
 GETTING ORDERS Thinks He Will Command Be- tween 16,000 and IT,
 900 Men.

Washington, May 2O.-Major -Gensral Wes- ley Merritt, who is to command the expedi- ton to the Philippines, accompanied by sev- eral members of his staff, reported to the war department this morning. and was in consultation with Secretary Alger and the regular army officials concerning his future work.
 Later in the day he will have a talk with the president and will receive instructions for his guidance in the difficult and im- portant duties assigned to him.
 General Merritt will leave here probably tomorrow for San Francisco, stopping en route a day or more at Chicago. He is yet uncertain as to the date he will sail for the Philippines, but it is now evident that he will not be able to depart with the first ship that goes to Manila.
 The general expects to have an ample force of men to establish the mission he is sent on. Between 16,0O0 and 1000 troops, he, thinks, will be allotted to him. Of this number he confidently hopes there may be approximately 5,030 soldiers of the regular army who because of their thorough dis eipine and usage to actual military life are regarded as absolutely essential to the successful completion of the work in hand
 There Is ample evidence already that the authorities are disposed to meet Genral Merritt's views. This is shown by the or- der issued yesterday, which directed the Eighteenth and Twenty-third regiments of infantry now stationed in the south to pro- ceed at once to San Francisco for duty with the expedition. The Tenth regiment of Pennsylvania volunteers, which are regard ed here as the best material in the volun- teer soldier line. have also been ordred to the Philippines.
 William Howell of New York, who was private secretary to former Assistant Sec 'retaries of the Navy Roosevelt and Me Adoo, and later has been connected with the strategy board, has been appointed sec retary to General Merritt and will accom- pany him to the Philippines. MT. Howell is well known in Washington and has rem dered exceptionally good service during his connection with the navy department, par ticularly during the war preparations when everybody was compelled to work at high pressure in putting the navy on a war footing at short notice.

Beer in Camp

Chattanooga Letter in Philadelphia Enq.
 A Chattanooga brewing company fur nishes large tent provided with counters g,ases, faucits, etc., etc., and also the beer which is sold by canteen manager, who Is an enlisted man appointed by the Colon- el. This man has a Commissioned officer over him to supervise the conduct of the canteen, and the profits from the sale is applied to purchasing extras for the mess. The plan thus instituted keeps the men away from the surrounding saloons. They get large glass of good beer for cents, and they are not permitted to have too much at any one time, being limited to so many glasses a day.
 The colonel of the regiment is supreme in control of the canteen, it can only be open with his permission, and he can close it at any time he so wills. The accounts are carefully kept, and the benefit accrues direct to the men from the profit derived, which would otherwise go to the saloon keeper.

Chestertown, Md, May 20.-A large force of men is operating in Kent cutting willows under a contract with the Dupont Powder company, of Delaware. Every possible stick of willow in the county is being secur- ed for the contract. Willow trees of from one to four inches in diameter are preferr, ed as the smaller growth makes the finest quality of charcoal for gunpowder. Almost the entire supply in the county is found contiguous to mill ponds and the fresh wa ter courses of streams. The earliest &C., counts we have of the manufacture of gum powder state that the charcoal of willow wood was used, for the reason that 1t is of fine grain, soft and easily pulverized.

The Sole Survivor.

Your true sailor is a prosaic animal;
he tells no Vanished story, and the
most patriotic narratives of casualties
and life-loss at sea are those which
are never written. Some years ago the
Captain of a British vessel deserted in
mid-ocean a bark, dismasted and ap
parently abandoned. He did as 80 per
cent. of British officers would have
done under similar circumstances. low
cred a boat and proceeded to investi
gate. Arrived at the bark he found
it difficult to approach on account of
the tangle of broken spars and rigging
which drifted alongside. On the deck
there was not the slightest sign of
human occupancy. The boats are gone,
the wheel was smashed, and the deck
house carried away flush with the deck.
In the forecastle, however, sick in his
bunk, was an English sailor, who told
an almost incredible tale. In effect it
was that week previous all hands
were summoned on deck to take in sail.
and so prepare for an approaching
squat. The sailor was too sick for
this service, so kept his berth And it
was well he did, for of all the COM
pany on deck not single man sur
vived. A huge sea came along. swept

THE SONG OF Gagged BIRDS.
1t Loses It's Sweetness Apart From
It's Associations

John Burroughs writes of the Songs
of American Birds" in the Century"
Mr.. Burroughs says: II have never yet
seen a Gagged bird that l wanted-at
least, not on account of it's song-nor a
wild flower that desired to transfer to
my garden A Gagged skylark will sing
its song sitting on a bit of turf in the
bottom of the cage, but you want to
stop your ears, it is so harsh and sibil-
ant and penetrating. But up there
against the morning sky, and above the
wide expanse of fields, what delight we
have in it! 1t is not the concord of
sweet sounds; it is the soaring spirit
of gladness and ecstasy raining down
upon us from heavens gate Then
to the time and the place, if one could
only add the association or hear the
bird through the vista of years, the
song touched with the magic of youth
full memories.
number of years ago a friend in
England sent me a score of skylarks in
a cage I gave them their liberty in a
field near my place. They drifted away,
and / never heard them or saw them
again. But one Sunday a Scotchman
from neighboring city called upon me,
and declared with visible excitement
that along his way along the road he
had heard a skylark. He was not
dreaming; he knew it was a skylark,
though he had not heard one since he
had left the banks of the Doom, a quar-
ter of a century or more before. What
pleasure it gave him. How much more
the song meant to him than it would
have meant to mel For the moment he
was on his native heath again. Then
told him about the larks I had liberated,
and he seemed to enjoy it all over again
with renewed appreciation.
Many years ago some skylarks were
liberated on Long Island, and they be-
came established there, and may now
occasionally be heard in certain local
tiles. One summer day a friend of
mine was out there observing them; a
lark was soaring and singing in the sky
above him. An old Irishman came
along and suddenly stopped as if trans
fixed to the spot; look of mingled de-
light and incredulity came into his face.
Was he indeed hearing the birds of his
youth? He took off his hat turned his
face skyward, and with moving lips
and streaming eyes stood long time
regarding the bird. All my friend
thought, if I could only hear that song
with his ears. How it brought back
his youth and all those long-gone days
on his native hills. The power of bird
song over us is so much matter of
association. Hence it is that every
traveller to other countries finds the
feathered songsters of less merit than
those he had left behind. The traveller
does not hear the birds in the same re-
ceptive. uncritical frame of mind as
does the native; they are not in the
same way the voices of the place and
the season..

I'm Pretty Sure.

I'm pretty sure that Heaven isn't so very
far away,
I'm pretty sure we're close beside the por-
tai every day:
And it seems to me quite certain as l think
the matter DER,
That our feet go tripping daily within its
open door.
I'm pretty sure that we can make of earth
a heavenly SPOT,
If only now and then We try to help an
others lot;
And heavens door will open to you and
me, my friend.
And heaven won't be far away when our
work is at an end.
I'm pretty sure that when we try We'll
find all sort O. ways
To send across our neighbours path tiny
sunlight ray
The plan is very simple; follow the Col
den Rule,
I'm pretty sure you've learned it when you
used to go to school.
I'm pretty sure that heaven is a place
where all can go:
I'm pretty sure I've found at last a truth
that all should know:
That heaven gates are open, yes, the
doors are ooen wide.
And I'm pretty sure the faithful will find a
seat inside
