LANDING.

This mornings news shows that
General Skaters soldiers are landing
on Cuba's coast and that so far there
has been no resistance worth speaking
of. Probably it wouldn't have made
much difference If there had been re-
sistance worth speaking Of The
United States forces went there to land
and would probably land if it took all
summer. 1t Is now thought that it will
take only a few days. Then the sharp
fighting that we have read so much
about may begin. 1t is not believed
that the Spanish army is in such state
of inefficiency as the Spanish navy,
and real resistance is expected from it.
1t does not yet appear whether there
are 41,0O0 or $4,000 Spanish soldiers
around Santiago. If those there stay
there the number of live ones will be
much reduced soon. 1t is too much to
expect that there will not be a fierce
struggle, but there is good reason to
expect that the Yankees will be victo-
rious in spite of the Spanish idea that
one Spaniard is match for three of
them.

COVE. BUT NOT FoRGo7TEN.

There is objection in this city to re-
Numbering the Maine. The Register
has suggested that the Merrimac be re-
membered. The Bible says remember
the Sabbath day, but nobody seems to
pay much attention to that. The Hart
ford Post seeing the dilemma in which
the good people of New Haven are ad-
vises us to remember the Wyandotte
and says that New Haven is in dan
ger Of forgetting the sturdy old mont
tor that guarded the molasses pre-
serves on Long wharf. In danger Of
forgetting the Wyandotte? Guess not.
A community that fondly and sadly re-
members the old State House will never
forget the Wyandotte. She is gone,
but not forgotten. And however long
she is gone, or wherever she goes, she
will not be forgotten. The hope of New
Haven is that after the Wyandotte has
been repaired and has quelled the fear
Of Bath, Maine, she will return to her
ancient mornings here and again serve
as protector and naval stimulus
The good she has done New Haven
cannot be estimated, and therefore we
shall not try to estimate It, But 1t is
quite enough to insure sempiternal
greenness to her memory here.

There is much more paper than there
used to be, but the quality has not kept
pace with the quantity. A committee
of a foreign technical society has
been carefully investigating the causes
of the deterioration of paper In
it's report it traces the many changes
undergone by the papermaking indus
try during the last century, and the
quantity of new fibrous raw materials
that have been introduced into the va

of these substances are said to occasion
the deterioration of the paper in which
they are used, though in many cases

LIFE AMONG THE AFR1D1s.

The Afridi is by nature and training
skilful skirmisher and a splendid
shot; his very life depends upon his be-
ing both. Rare indeed Is 1t that the
tribes are not at open hostility among
themselves, while within the tribe and
even within the family, blood-feuds are
so common that every Afridi has far
more enemies than friends. A strict
code regulates the prosecution of these
feuds. During seed-time and harvest
or during the progress of a jehad "a sa-
cred war; all quarrels are laid aside;
and at all times the persons of women
and children are inviolate. But with
these exceptions their feuds are prose-
cuted with vindictiveness to which
the history Of the Scottish Highlands
in the widest times can offer no par
allel.
An Orakzai, who owned a house just
below spot which my picquet occu-
pied for some time on the Sampagher
Pass, one day pointed out to me anoth-
er house within twenty PAGES Of his
own. There. he said, lived his enemy,
and then he went on to describe with
the utmost pride how he had killed the
father of the present owner after walt
ing nine whole months in his tower for
shot, his food and water being
brought him by the women of his
household, who also were responsible
for the proper tending of the fields and
cattle Of the estate, until this some
what protracted stalk had been brought
to a successful issue. 1t Is this state Of
affairs which makes the possession of a
good rifle the dearest ambition of a
frontier tribesman, a good government
Martini being always worth over three
hundred rupees, an immense sum of
money to people as poor as the Afri-
dis. The difficulties experienced by the
headmen of the tribes in collecting the
rifles for the fines we have imposed
may be easily imagined, when it is rea-
liked that the greater number of these
rifles must come from men with blood
feuds on their hands to whom the sac
rifice Of their arms means sooner or
later the sacrifice of their lives
A charming story is told of the KAN
Der Khels, illustrating how cheaply the
tribesmen regard human life. A mool-
lah of the tribe once in moment of
candor expressed his regret to his flock
that no sacred man among them had
yet been called upon to lay down his
life for his religion, alleging that the
presence in their midst of the tomb of
so holy man would be of the highest
value both from a spiritual and prac-
tical point of view, spiritually because
the Prophet would regard them all
henceforth with greater favor, practi-

not entitled to diploma on completing
the course. He was permitted to do
the freshman and sophomore work with
the understanding that he would be
matriculated as a regular student
should he catch up with his class.
"At the end of the junior year he
stood well in his class, and had success
fully met all the tests of the freshman
work. At the end of the first term of
the senior year he had completed the
sophomore work in a satisfactory way,
and was matriculated as a regular stu
dent. At the end of the senior year he
took the regular degree Of bachelor,
standing second in his class.
1.-THE student was coal black. The
study had been done while the student
had been working faithfully as a night
inspector along the wharves of Della
ware avenue. He had followed the text
book work by the light of a lantern, and
his days were free for reference studies
in the libraries.
"In the year 1887 the American Tariff
league offered prize and several silver
medals for the best essays offered by
members of the senior classes of Amer
lean colleges on a subject connected
with the tariff. Our black student en-
tered the competition. A score of coll
leges were represented, and yet he Sc
cured a silver medal. So in two years
he had done four years university
work, was graduated second in his class
and made splendid showing in an out
side competition.
His ambition was to study law. A
change of administration at Washing
ton brought about a change of collector
at the Philadelphia custom house, and
our black night inspector was promptly
dismissed, Notwithstanding the fact
that eminent members of the univer-
sity faculty had interceded to secure
his retention. So the law studies were
abandoned until night work could be
secured.
He drifted around, applying here
| and there for work, and finally became
bellboy in a Philadelphia hotel. Ut
terly disheartened and Disguised with
his work, he became day laborer in
the city hall of Philadelphia where /
found him carrying brick and mortar
in May last, eleven years after he had
made that splendid record at the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania. He had bor-
rowed from wealthy college mates in
the hope of making start. His wages
barely supported him, and to the dis
entertainments Of his youthful ambi-
lions was added the humiliation Of hav-
| ing debts which he saw no means of
| paying.
