PoRTUGAL's POVERTY.

The Melancholy Da Gan1a Celebrations
 Hatred of the English-Illiteracy of
 the People-Much Uncultivated
 Land.
 Portugal excites compassion. She is so bright and happy a land, if you go to her with no intention of seeing more of her than MT Murray's handbook bids you see. But tarry awhile in eith-
 CT of her principal cities, read her
 newspapers, watch the shrugs with
 which the men at the casas de cambio
 change your sovereigns into reis at an
 ever-increasfng agio, listen to the gos-
 sip at her clubs and cafes, and mark
 the extraordinary number of special
 Vasco da Gama postage stamps in the
 Lisbon shop windows. Then you must
 realize that though the average Por-
 tuguese has no love for the average
 Spaniard, Portugal may be excused for
 feeling a sort of pitiable and intimate
 sympathy for her step-sister Spain in
 this poor mantilla-clad lady's present
 humiliations and difficulties.
 To begin with, the Vasco da Cana business seems to some of us an incred- ibly foolish sort of advertisement of national decadence. Portugal somehow has missed that melancholy joke. The
 rest of Europe sent deputations to con- gratulate her on-goodness knows what, and to enjoy the banquets and other festivities provided. And PQrtu- gal herself is now struggling with | might and main to defray these expen- ses by the sale of pretty commemora- tive tage-stamps.
 There is rather a neat little free fair'' in Lisbon, also in honor of the cen- | tenary, modelled distantly on our Earl s Court exhibitions The cardboard fif- | teenth-century castle and Indian ele- | plants of colossal size are successful X enough, and it does one good to see the l trim warehouses of Portuguese manu- | facturers here on view, to prove how prosperous the country ought to be. | But enthusiasm is absent at this show, | to see which you pay nothing. The ex- l quisite blankets and rugs, the pottery 1 and the seductive biscuits, sugared and | plain, appear to interest no one. There are peepshows, waxworks, Edison's in- | ventions, Nautch girls, cheap theatri- l cal performances of the ''gaff'' kind, and dozens of refined-looking drinking I tents. Portugal, however, pays little l heed to any of them. Such money as it l has to spend it plunges on the humble i tee-to-tu tums. It is profoundly instruc- | tive to see the people-old men and l maidens, young men and even children l-crowding for these penny and two l penny gambles, also in honor of the l white bearded Vasco da Cana. Public cockfghts are an added feature of this

amount of uncultivated land in the country. Every one seems surprised to learn that forty-nine per cent. or Por- tugaIs area is left to itself, as com pared with Belgium's eight per cent and Germany's nine per cent. But one doesn't feel quite sure about Senhor Anselmo de Andrade's differences, al though Portugal certainly ought not to have to import cornstuffs. Sad rulers and a weakly resigned people would override the advantages of increased cultivation of the country The na- tional mind wants tilling as well as the land. If all Portugal could be sent to school and taught arithmetic Tor a week, the nation might yet be saved without catastrophe,-Pan Mall Ga- zette.

~ G. W| people of Springdale. Tue telegram to THE NEWS Thursday afternoon
 was the first information the people had of the time of ar rival of the boys, but it did not take long for the news to spread. The members of the Willing Workers began work at once preparing 2 supper, and notwithstanding the short time to perfect arrangements our boys were welcomed home | in a manner that was source of pride to all.
 The boys left Little Rock Thursday evening and arriv' d at 1 Van Buren Friday about a. m. The railroad company attached a passenger coach to a freight train and some of the boys ! came home on that, arriving here about one o'clock. Their coming was not anticipated at that time, consequently there was no one at the depot to wei come them. The rest of the company, with the exceptions of Capt. Long, Lieut.. w. l. Thompson, Sergeant Leon Smith, Corporal c. D. Whitwam, and your g !. Horton who remained~kO pre- pare the muster out roll, ar rived on the cannon ball. A. R. Moore, of Boonsboro, and G. Sheffler, of De Queen, mem
 bers of the company, will re maln at Little Rock to look after the goods and chattles.
 The train arrived at s p. m. and there has never been an other such demonstration Tn opringdale since the boys left here on May 13. The depot platform and street running alongside was crowded with happy and enthusiastic mep, women and children. Every body and his next door neigh Dor seemed to be present, and all had no hesitancy in letting the fact be known that they were there. Things were live lly enough, but as the train pulled in and the band opened on "Dlxie" there was a real warm time for a few minutes. Every body wanted to shake hands, and if a blue coated soldier wasn't convenient he satisfied himself by shaking hands with his nearest neigh bOr.
 The boys were marched down 10 the Springdale Hotel where supper had been prepared. Af ter some shortselections by the band, and to give the boys time to find out where they were at, Dr. J. H. Amacker mount ed an improvised stand in front of the hotel and delivered an eloquent and patriotic address of welcome, concluding with an invitation to the soldier boys to walk in and partake of the feast prepared for them. The good ladies of Springdale have an enviable reputation for their knowledge of ''cookology,' and the supper served on this occasion demonstrated the fact that :hey don't require a weeks notice to prepare a spread that would tempt the most confirm
 ed dyspeptic. There were no fancy frills about the supper. | It was good substantial eating, consisting of different kinds of meats, salads, biscuit, rolls, pies, cakes, jellies. preserves, coffee, etc., and seemed to be lin exact harmony with the ap
 petites of the hungry soldier
 boys. It was a good supper
 served by fair hands.
 While the boys were feast Ing the band entertained the
 crowd in the streets witt
 music, and it was a late hour
 when all finally dispersed.

The members of Co. F. have been particularly fortunate. During lhe entire tune they have never lost a man from sick. ana all were able to leave Chickamauga except Jack Hayes, of De Queen, and Ira Seeley, of this place. The former IS in the hospital, a suf fere- from typhoid fever and the latter is, we understand in the Letter Hospital suffering from the same disease. The reason for their good health was doubt less due to the fact that Col Chandler is an old army officer and knew exactly what was necessary to promote the com fort and health of his men Col. Chandler went down to the hospitals occasionally and stir red things up when he found his sick men were not receiv ing proper attention.
