s1The very hardest lesson young
American has to learn when he enters
she army is that Of obedience. For the
first time, his indivi duaI authority is de-
throned. He is as fractions as thor

the whip and spur. It is hard for him
tounderstand that his freedom Of action
must be subordinated to military neces-
sity. He chafes, if he does not openly
rebel, but when once whipped into line
he makes the best soldier on earth.

Some of Its Peculiarities as Observed at
( New Yorlk's Aquarium.
While the blue crab is not commonly
fact spend the greater part of it's time
on the bottom, yet it can very easily
sustain itself in the water and swim at
a very fair rate Of speed. It swims end
wise, and when swimming it carries
one big claw thrown forward and bent
back at the middle joint, making a
point projecting at that end of the
body, while the other big claw trails
straight out astern. If it changes direc-
tion, it crooks the claw it had been car
rying straight and let's the other 60
free If it sustains itself in the water
without progressing, it carries it's big
claws in front of itself as it would nat
urally do under ordinary circumstances
on the bottom, but it has to keep it's
little claws in motion to sustain itself.
and in swimming the little claws are
kept actively at work. Besides making
a good degree of progress through the
water in swimming the blue crab can
change it's course or swim to higher
or lower level with facility. When
frightened, the blue crab moves off side
ways, but when moving about at home
and undisturbed it may move straight
forward. Its body may be inclined at
any angle to the line of progress, but
its motion still be forward, the big
claws carried crooked around in front.
It may be seen moving thus in one Of
the larger tanks at the aquarium, in
which thereare blue crabs, Holsters and
other things The temperature Of the
water now just suits the crustaoeans,
and they are very lively. Blue crabs
may be seen swimming here, and also
walking about, stepping down from
stones that are as high as they them
selves are wide with perfect dignity, il
| not grace of manner, and walking on
carrying their claws before them

Mr.. James E. Tate, who Is largely in
terested in manufacturing in Baltimore,
of the firm of James B. Macneal & Co.
and Rubber Paint Company, etc., has
recently returned from an extensive
trip through the Southern States. He
has extended large credits to the mer-
chants of the South for the past twenty
five years, and is we'll known all over
the South. Speaking of the business
situation in the South. MIR. Tate eaid,
Business generally is depressed there
this fall, caused by the low price OF cot
ton and the recent yellow fever scare,
but / believe the South to-day to have
the brightest outlook of any section OF
the United States for immigration and
improvement. They need only to raise
more diversified crops and encourage
manufacturing of alIkinds. consider
North Carolina by tar the best and
most progressive State in the South.
This fall while other Southern States
were suffering from low price OF cotton,
North Carolina had in operation it's
hundreds of cotton mills running on
tull time, giving employment to thou
sands of laborers and getting the very
highest price for its cotton in the way
of manufactured goods, and so l wish
to see the new South entirely cover
ed with manufactures of various kinds
and then they will see prosperity, re-
gardless of the price of cotton" Mr..
Tate, who expresses such kindly feel
ings towards the South, Is originally
from Georgia, and nephew OF the late
Governor and member of Congress,
Wm. Schley, of that State. Mr. Tate

Gold Mining in Granville.

OXfOrd Public Ledger.
It is not generally known that three
gold mines are being worked at this
time in Granville. This actively be-
gan about twelve months ago. Capital
lists purchased The Khoinoor, Venable
and Lewis Mines and have secured op-
tions upon 1000 acres of valuable min
eral lands.
The Khoinoor mine is situated three
miles from Oxford, on the Cheatham
property, and Is equipped with a 100
horse power compressed air plant for
operating Ingersoll air drills, COM
plete hosting pumping plant, assay
office, dwellings, fitting shops and
other buildings.
The developments at this mrne con-
sist of a 3 compartment main shaft,
known as the engine and main hoist
ing shaft and is 27O feet deep, sunk on
an incline, following the vein. There
are also about 600 feet OF underground
| levels.
No ore has yet been treated, but
shipments have been made OF trial lots
to smelters in Chicago. Considerable
prospect work has been done upon 8
other veins, the development of which
will depend upon the results achieved
at the main Khoinoor mine. A force
OF 40 men Is constantly at work day
and night at this mine.
The Venable mine is distant Is
miles from Oxford, and is equipped
with hoisting and pumping plant.
The main working shaft is 13O feet
deep, and levels aggregate some 500
feet. Active work is still under way.
A car load of ore has been sent to Chic
ago for testing.
The Lewis mine adjolns the Venable
and shaft is being sunk and other
prospecting work Is under way. The
veins consist of quartz, carrying free
gold and galena and iron sulphurets.
The expenditure up to date amounts
to 365, 100000. This section Of NORTH
Carolina has never before been exploit
ed. The geological formative is saie
to be favorable, and the hopes are thai
the veins, which near surface ART
small, will enlarge with depth.
If the developments now under way
prove satisfactory, the mines will b'
equipped upon a large scale, and ma
chinery erected for treating the ore OF
the ground. The mines are owned b.

is nothing to indicate remarkable valor
on the part of the Spanish soldiers and
sailors. In the battle at Santiago the
SpaniardS never showed a file of sol
diers Safely hidden behind intrench
ments they poured volleys into the
Americans, who were obliged to ad-
vance on open ground. Their fighting
was all done under cover. 1t was eff
fective, but far from heroic. Thus far
there has not been an instance of
Spanish soldiers standing up to a fair
fight with the Americans, and yet the
Spaniards are supposed to be wellsea-
soned regulars, while the Americans
are mainly volunteers. But the heroism
of the Spanish sailors - where is the
evidence of it? No special valor was
matte way of standing by the ships to
the last. We have no means of knowing
how kindly the sailors took to the order
to stay by their guns, but in the ac
counts of Cervera's exploit we learn
that gunners were shot by officers for
deserting their posts. While we are not
inclined to disparage the Spanish SOL
der or sailor, we utterly fail to find
any evidence, thus far, Of exceptional
valor. There is nothing to indicate that
he is entitled to rank in the same class
with the American soldier in courage
