Harder for Veteran Father to Say Good
by Than II Was 20 Go to the Front.
A well known state official was
standing in the governors party
at South birmingham the other
afternoon, while the farewells
we're being said to the boys of the
Second regiment, who were on the
cars about to start for Tampa. AS
he glanced about he saw four old
soldiers of the war of the rebellion,
all OF whom were veterans of the
old Thirty-sixth Massachusetts,
regiment.
"The Thirty-sixtb," he said, in
speaking of the meeting after
ward, "was recruited from the
counties in Western Massachu-
sets from which the second regi-
ment now comes. 1t had the same
kind of men in it, and it happens
that many of the boys in the Sec
ond are sons of the men who went
to the front with the old Thirty
sixth. You see, it YVES a good deal
as if the two regiments had been
all one family, though one was
generation behind the other. Now,
take these four veterans ! mention
ed. One was a captain in the old
Thirty sixth and he has son who
is captain in the Second, and the
young fellow, as he stood on the
platform, was the living image of
his father as he went away thirty.
six years ago. Another of this
group of four babe goodby to his
son as a private in one OF the
Worcester companies, and with the
old soldier was the mother of the
boy, who was herself sister of a
man who had marched away years
ago as comrade to her husband.
The wife's brother died in rebel
prison, starved to death at Ander-
sonville.
All put Oue VI tuebe lOuT NetST-
ans were wounded, and it was a
touching sight to see the two emp
ty sleeves in the group, one man
having lost right arm, another a
left arm, while the third was badly
wounded at Spottsylvania. And
it was a hard sight for them to
see the youngsters going away.
That's one of the strange expe-
riences the veterans are having
nowadays. You may not believe
it but it takes a good deal more
nerve to stand on a railroad plat.
form and bid your son goodby as
he goes away with his company
than it did to go away yourself
years ago; and more than one old
soldier, who went away to the
front in the old days as gay and
glad as you please, breaks down
now when he sees his boy leaving
for the fruut."-Boston Transcript.

Professional Races.

The combined attraction of
bicycle races and a tug-of-war at
Cyclomere Saturday night failed
to bring out more than fair at
tendance. The racing was of the
best and the finishes very exciting
and close.
The tug Of war was a good one
made very comical by one of the
members of the Iwilei team who
Was continually dropping the
rope to put resin on his hands,
and at one stage Of the game got
so excited that he left his place
and ran to the middle of the rope
tn see how far his side was ahead.
After stubborn pull of ten
minutes and ten seconds the Au-
waiollmu team caved in and were
pulled over the line.
Mike O'Irllby gave an exceed
ingly clever exhibition of trick
and fancy riding, and was com
PEELED to respond to hearty en-
core.
King and Ludloff each took a
race and second place in the
amateur races, King winning the
handicap and Ludloff the two
thirds. The time in the mile
handicap was 2:43 and the two.
thirds scratch 1872.
Jonas won both professional
races by inches, just beating Syl-
vester in the two thirds handicap
in Isl. Manoa thinking it was a
mile race did not "hit 1t up" on
the second lap and so WAS placed
third. In tho one mile scratch
Jones and Manos came tearing
down the home stretch on the
sprint with handlebars locked,
but at the tape Jones gave little
extra kick which put him over the
line a winner by six inches.
Murdoch, the Southern California
rider, did not appear.

The other day a young woman
was rambling along a country road.
She was dressed smartly, she
thought, and when she met a
bare-legged urchin carrying a birds
nest with eggs in it, she did not
hesitate to stop him.
4" You are a wicked boy" she
said. Chow could you rob that
nest? No DOUBT the mother is griev-
ing for the loss of her eggs"
ooh, she don't care" replied
the urchin, edging away; "she's
up in your hat"

reef-beset lagoon has been considered one of the safest naval-ports in the world, and the narrow sandspit at it's entrance the key to the island. What ever power possessed Puerto Reap' controlled the harbor and the capital of the island-'San Jago de la Viga' in the old days, rechristened Kings Town after the great earthquake of 1892. Thus for many years, Port Royal was the principal town in Jamaica, if not in all the West Indies, When the Spaniards were driven from the island they left behind great many slaves, who sought shelter in the mountains and defied the authorities. These ban- dits, much mixed with Spanish blood, were nearly exterminated soon after the English occupation; but later the relI- nant grew to be powerful and greatly disturbed the colony.
 They were "The Maroons," celebrated in song and story, and the history of their desperate struggles for freedom reads like a romance.
 To-day their descendants are seDa- rate people, and still enjoy the privi- leges granted to their forefathers in consideration of their services in sup pressing an uprising of the blacks, It would be hard to find a more interest," ing people than the Jamaicans of this generation. The blacks, which swarm Port Royal and Kingston, are like no othre negroes under the sun, yet have little strain of the old Spanish mixture with the Indians. The African blood, imported when slave labor was one of the blessings which white civilization thrust on the heather, seems still to flow from an uncontaminated spring. But it is funny to note how the blackest blacks that ever were born have be- come regular cockneys in words, air and accent, excelling even the Eng lishmen themselves in the broadness of their "cawnts'' and the frequency of their allusions to bloody eads' ct cet- era. The Browns as they are called, are yet another distinctive class, who claim to be the unadulterated descend ants of the real native Jamaicans,-t brave and warlike Arrowacks, who ruled the happy Land of Springs be- fore ever a white man was heard of. To-day the richest man on the island is Brown" However there is now lit- tie class-distinction in Jamaica, the English being singularly free from race prejudice except in the matter of Jews (and maybe Americans) ar blacks, whites, browns and maroons meet shd mingle as one happy family.

 At this entrance the channel is about mile wide, the open part or the la goon being perhaps seven miles long by as many broad. The latter forms the mouth of the Cobre river, the largest in Jamaica. on which, ten miles up, stands Spanish Town, the original seat of government, established by the Spaniards soon after the conquest. It was the fashion then-come down from the days of Thucydides and continued to the end of the last century-to build all important towns on estuaries, at distance from the sea for greater secur {, ity aeainst pirates. The Cobre river, running down from Spanish Town, con- verted the plain through which 1t flows into swamp. The swamp is covered with mangrove thickets, and the man. groves fringing the circuit of the salt lagoon are encruSted with oysters. l What crowd of historic associations haunt this place! Before the first hut was built in Kingston, Port Royal was the rendezvous for all the English ships which sailed the Spanish main for spoil or commerce. Here in later times whole fleets were gathered to take in i stores, or to refit when shattered by en- | gagements and here the jolly bucca- | neers sold their punder and squan6ered | their ill-gotten gains in gambling and riot. Here prizes were brought for ad- ! judcation and pirates to be tried and hanged. Here Nelson and Cord II and Collingwood and Morgan and Drake all figured in their time. Somehow such rollicking cut-throats do not seem like ordinary murdereTs when their roman 1 tic adventures and deeds of blood and 1 lust are seen through the glamour of two hundred years! It is interesting to recall how Morgan became dignified and virtuous Sir Henry" a pillar of church and state, knighted by the crown for the services he had rendered to civilization.

 Kingston, Jamaica, Oct. 2.-Dawn was breaking in the east and the Blue Mountains leaping out of their beds of mist and tumbling their cloudy blan- kets in every direction as we caught the first glimpse of this far-famed bit of the queens domain. One who is fla mliar with our own great west sees in Jamaica a strong resemblance to the Black Hills of Dakota set in an ocean of lapiz-lazuli Some of the peaks of the central range are more than seven thousand feet high and eternally yelled in clouds. Their lower slopes and ridges are clothed with the most luAu- riant verdure of the tropics; and the foot hills, trending down to the coast in many sharp spurs, like colossal van dyke pattern, have emerald valleys be- tween filled with cane fields an,l cof- fee-groves. No emerald was ever half so green as the living green" of these deep valleyeds! They are watered by in- numerable streams that come pouring down from the upper heights, through canyons banked with tree-ferns, gigan- tic bamboos and a hundred varieties of the great palm-family. Xaymaca, Land of Springs the aborigines called their island you know. The ear ly Spaniards rendered the word after their own musical fashion-Hah mack ah; and it remained for the English, i who always ruin the nomenclature and wiring the last drop of romance out of every place that comes into their pl O. safe hands, to f1atten it out to Jay may-key.
 To most of us the name Of this small territory is intimately associated with its celebrated pineapple rum, or with remembered pains under the apron in connection with it's pungant ginger Judging from the enormous quantities of Jamaica rum and Jamaica gin. ger' which have long been used in all ptl tS CI t1lC SlNlltZC1 "Ol itB ollG Woulu expect to find a fair-sized continent here, given up to the exclusive produc- i tion of those useful articles-instead of an extremely rugged tract one hundred and sixty miles long by fifty broad, l hardly one-fifth of which is yet culti- vated. Perhaps, as with Panama hats and Havana cigars and Mexican filigree work, the articles are made almost any, i where else than in the place whose name they bear.
 i Nearing Port Royal the entrance 1 harbor to Kins stOn, we beheld the usu- al West India ene-a level stretch be- ] tween the sea ard the base of the nils, formed in the slow course of cen, ,ut ies ] by debris washed down from above; | the plain covered with cane-fields, tof- | fee-groves ard cocoa palms, dotted with villas and the tall chimneys of s1- . gar-factories.
