THE FIRST LAND BATTLE.

The first land battle, since our invad-
ing army has placed it's footsteps on
the island of Cuba, wGs q sanguinary
one, fought by American marines and
Spaniards, mentioned on the first page
of the CENToR. Siace this report, it is
learned thst after an all night battle
with Spanish guerrillas and regulars,
the enemy was repulsed with heavy loss,
with only four Americans reported killed.
Reports are now and then received
from various sources that Manila has
surrendered and that the Stars end
Stripes are floating over the city. 1t
is not stated whether the city has sur
rendered to the insurgent forces OF
to Admiral Dewey.
The first army of invssion to Cuba is
probably now landed, and consists OF
thirty two transport steamers, bearing
$4,000 officers and men, conveyed by
battieships, cruisers, gunboats and aux
ilery cruisers, sixteen in number. This
immense army left Key West yesterday
morning. AS Sampson has cleared the
way for this undertaking, there seems
no cause for apprehension when they
are landed. Once upon the soil ou'

Once more. once more, NJ Mary, dear.
sit by that lone stream
Where first within thy timid ear
breathed loves burning dream.
The birds we loved still tell their tale
OF music on each spray,
And still the wild rose decks the vale,
But thou art far away.
In vain thy vanished form ! seek
By wood and stream and dell,
And tears of anguish battle my cheek
Where tears Of RAPTURE fell,
And yet beneath these wildwood bowers
Dear thoughts my soul employ.
For in the memories of past hours
There is a mournful Joy.
Upon the air thy gentle words
Around me seem to thrill,
Like sounds upon the wind harp's chords
When all the winds are still,
Or like the low and soullike swell
OF that wild spirit tone
Which haunts the hollow of the bell
When its sad chime is done.
seem to hear thee speak my name
In sweet, low murmurS now.
seem to feel thy breath Of fame
Upon my cheek and brow.
On my cold lips feel thy kiss,
Thy heart to mine is laid
Alas that such dream of bliss
Like other dreams must fadel

There has not been governor OF the
state for more than thirty years who
has not made more general use OF such
favors than the present incumbent.
The foregoing paragraph, from the

Governor Scofeld's attitude on express

tions. The Telegraph should not over,
look the important fact that never be

The university Of Wisconsin was in
corporated in 1888, under an act of con-
gress granting $4,000 acres of land for
its support The preparatory depart

creased the grant by $4,000 acres, and
in 1868 by 100000 acres. The univer-
sity was reorganized in 1867 and has
since risen to high place among west

The Oregon state election, last Tues
day, was the opening gun in the state
elections to be held this year. In the
presidential contest, in 1896, on a wab-
bling platform and after desperate
struggle, republicans carried the state
for Mckinley by 1000. This off year
on a ringing platform declaring fol
honest money, honest politics and
clean men, the party swept the state
by $4,000. We take it that this is only
pointer to what will follow in all the
other republican states where the party
rises above personal politics and accepts
right principles and keeps faith with
the people.

The Disfguring "srake Up"

So long as we indulge in the barbar-
ism of footlights some strengthening Of
the points of the face may be needful.
1t is indeed an excellent thing when
deftly done and the material causes of
the effect entirely hidden, as they should
be. The clarity of whittier tint to the
general tone of the skin, the illumina-
ton of eye and teeth by emphasizing
the brow and lashes and lips. the height
ening of the color-all these things can
be SO done as to disguise the means by
which they are done. What is the
method actually pursued? White is laid
all over face and shoulders in thick
washes, like Pierrot's mask, masses
of black pomade load the eyebrows and
eyelashes, great gobs of red are put upon
the ear lobes and on and around the
lips like snapdragon, deep pink in and
below the nostrils and on the eyelids
and masses of black or purple beneath
the eyes, projecting to the temples in
arrowkeads.
All these things are perfectly visible
to large part of the audience and are
disfguring even at distance. With an
opera glass they are shocking The OBJ
jects which are obtained are the Cog
Cling of the eyes, which can be thrown
about with the intensity of darkys,
and the display of the worries, which
produce similar effect to his. For pas
sion to show itself in such plastered
faces, for waves of emotion TO spread
over them and for any refinement of
feeling to communicate itself to the au-
dience are as impossible as it would be
to expect these things from the painted
canvas. They cannot cry, of course, nor
touch nor be touched, without disaster.
Ellen Terry played disfguring scene
here one night. with the water stream
ing from an eye into which her loaded
eyelashes had discharged themselves. -
