The stranger gazed at it so long in thoughtful silence that a sympathetic spectator finally asked him if the stone marked the last resting place of some old friend. ''No," replied the visitor, "I was simply wondering how they came to put them both in one grave"

Alfred Hampton, U. s. immigration
 inspector at this port, was called to
 Washington last Thursday by tele- gram notifying him to report to Major General M. c. Butler for duty as second lieutenant on the generals staff and will likely be sent to the Philippines. Mrs. Hampton went to Tennessee to stop with relatives till the war is over. MT. Hampton is son of the gallant Confederate cavalry general, Wade Hampton, whose name is known by every school child in the United States, and who was one of the bravest and most dashing officers in the late war. If MT. Hampton junior develops the soldierly qualities that his father did he will be heard from before the Dons succumb to the power of America TNogales yidette,

Manila was captured by the British in 1762, but it required thirteen ships and nearly 1000 men, 1000 of whom were lost in the assault upon the forti- fcations, to accomplish what Admiral Dewey did with smaller numerical force and with no loss save that of the ammunition needed. That illustrates the difference between old and new naval methods and machinery.

ANNEXATION of territory is the true democratic policy. Under the Demo- cratic Presidents, mainly, has the ter ritory of the United States been added to and extended. Fertile land is the backbone and supporting pillar of all other wealth. No nation can have too much. We are an annexationist, re- gardless of politics. Let us annex all we can, and keep all we get. The stars and stripes are broad enough to float over it all, and those who owe allegi- ance to those stars and stripes are strong enough and brave enough to keep them eyer floating under the eter- nal rays of sun which never sets.- Prescott Courier.

FEW people will be prepared for the statement that the average summer temperature at Belen college, near Havana, is but four-tenths of a degree higher than at New Orleans, and but seven degrees higher than at Washing ton. The highest temperature re- corded in thirty years at Havana was 100.6 degrees. The so-called rainy season and dry season run into each other much as they do in the Atlantic States. In five years, in the thirty year period noted, as much rain has fallen in the months classed as "dry" as in the months chased as "wet." The conclusion reached is that the un- healthy conditions in Cuba are the re- suit rather of the negligence of the people than of peculiarities of climate.

IA CHAMPAGNE's STEERAGE.

Alarm

New York March 4.-One hundred and
eighty-nine of La Champagne's steerage
passengers arrived in this city from Bos
ton on the Norwich Line steamer City
of Lawrence soon after S o'clock this
morning. Officers of the French Line and
a crowd of friends and relatives We're at
the dock TO receive them.
Peter Spaenhoven. one of the steerage
passengers. said:
When the accident occurred there was
some fright occasioned, as it was thought
that the steamer had been struck and
was going down A few of the devout
ones began to pray, but most of the steer
age passengers were quiet and calm. In
fact. the officers of the vessel who had
come into the steerage to allay the fears
of passengers We're surprised by their
tranquility. During the eight days we
were on the water in suspense | was fire.
qUently in the first and second cabins and
there was more apprehension there than
in the Steerage. The Steerage passengers
asked many peculiar questions about the
broken shaft Being ignorant of how the
vessel is propelled. they wondered why
a broken shaft could not be mended like
an old shoe or the handle of a wheelbar-
row. After the second day the steerage
passengers resigned themselves to their
fate and an impromptu orchestra was
organized, consisting of three mouth or
gans. a triangle, a French horn and sew
erul violins. The time was whiled away
in this way"

thinking he would uphold the honor of his
country, because he was a brave Union
soldier. and because 1 thought this coun-
try needed just such a man. He was call
ed Napoleon, and | even thought him such
a man
To say that | am disgusted with Nc
Kinley and myself for taking stock in
him, after the ignominious manner he has
acted in allowing Spain to butcher our
sailors, is not strong enough to suit me-
but is the best / know how to put it. And
this is the American Napoleon This is
the man whom we voted for under the
guse of high patriotism! This is the man
who during the canvass, was doomed by
the waving of "OId Glory" the booming
of cannon ana as a typical American pa
triot. If McI[inleys canvass represented
any one thing in particular il represented
the spirit of 6l-5 Ne old soldiers felt
we would have an end of Clevelandism
and the milk and water policy of the
Democrats.
Cleveland would never have allowed
Spain to blow up our ships, murder our
seamen and degrade this country to the
extent Mckinley has, much he was in
the power of the money people. Please
express my utter contempt and disgust
with Mckinley. and If ever l so far for
get myself as to cast another vote for
him may my left arm be blasted as my
right was by a rebels BAH at Manassas
