They looked back and saw their enemies
still after them. Ike had taken the old
mans horse and was coming on a gallop.
They knew he had a revolver, and shivered
at the thought. But both stopped and
selected the best stones to throw, to attack
him with as soon as he came within range.
They halted minute to get their breath al

horse had to come down to walk and pick
his way.

MASLEY r. SHERMAN, of Los An

in Manila, says that no one in this
country can have the slightest concep-
ton Of the wealth-productiveness of the
Philippines. Even under the cruel re-
pressiveness of the Spaniards the exports
amount TO about 100000 a year.
There is little doubt that at once these
could be raised to S50,000,000. The
sugar cane is the richest in the world
but the people have No other idea Of ex-
pressing The juice than by having sew

clubs. The brothers of Gen. Weyler
have a practical monopoly of the to-
bacco trade, and make immense sums
out Of it. The Spaniards, for some rea-
son, would not allow coffee to be grown.

WAR NOTES.

The historic 9th Mass. passed through
Baltimore last Sunday, and received an
ovation instead of the bloody reception
given the regiment April 10, 1861. But,
then, 81 years generally does make a great
difference in this progressive country.
George Mason Lee, son of Mai. Gen. Fitz-
hugh Lee, and Algerpon Sartoris, grandson
Of Gen. L. S. Grant, will be appointed on the
staff Of Gen. FitZhugh Lee.
There was a difficulty in bringing this
about as the law prescribes that officers
of the staff must be appointed from the
Army, and both the young men were
civilians. But the President reserved to
ants in the Immune regiments, and gave two
of these commissions to young Lee and
Sartoris.
The Virginians seem to show up physic
ally better than any other Southerners.

world.
Gen. Merritt has been designated as
