and looked at the monument

was only IN Habana and Matan-

with reference to the military
aspect Of affairs in Cuba | SAW
nothing which impressed me with
the idea that Spain knows much
about modern warfare. The
soldiers | saw are not drilled as
our soldiers are. Indeed thew
lack every element of soldierly
bearing, whatever may be said of
their merits as fighters. The drills
that | witnessed were travestv
on modern military ideas. While
they were undergoing their evolu-
tions the soldiers were talking to
each other and smoking as freely
and unconcernedly as they would
do in their mess rooms.
Naturally there was much talk
about the Maine disaster, and SO
far as | could ascertain from my
conversation with Americans and
with those not entirely under the
influence of the Spaniards the
opinion was universal that the
Maine had been destroyed by an
external agency and almost every
person with whom l discussed the
subject in Cuba expects that the
findings of the American court of
inquiry will substantiate this

y Gentleman of South Carolil

Ga the 18th day of March,
ISIS, Wade Hampton was bSrus
in south Carolina. That was{S0,
years ago today and in those so
yen:s Wade Hampton has made
history for South Carolina. In
field and in forum, he has led his
people, nor ever lost high ideal.
nor did unworthy deed.
He is an old man now. FoIr
score years may not pass ovet a
head and leave no impress. Hamp-'
ton is old, and he rests from labor
in the quietudc of his home, with
his face towards the setting son
of life full of stirring events and
laden with honors. There have
been trials and there have been
sorrows to the great heart of
Hampton. His people he served
so well deserted him, in his old
age, turning their backs upon
him TO follow reprobates. .Rpt
Hampton never failed himself, and
the shame is South Carolina's.
But all have not forgotten the
days of glory, and the memories
of knightly period, and the
times of heroes, their struggles
and their triumphs. Here in
Charleston particularly is Wade
Hampton honored, loved and re.
verenced, for the people of Char
lesion are slow to forget worthy
deeds and noble men. A gentle
man recently told us that he once
asked Hampton what day of his
career had been the most impress
sive to him. Unhesitstingly the
general replied, That day in
April, 1877, when for the first
time. as the acknowledged COVER
nor of South Carolina, l rode
through the streets of Charleston. )
And well might that day have i'm
pressed even Wade Hampton, who
had seen many world stirring
events, for never earthly potent
ate received a greeting and hom
age, that surpas> ed the reception
given by the free people of Char
lesion to Wade Hampton, COVER
nor Of South Carolina. And if
Wade Hampton has not forgotten,
neither has Charleston.
At four score years his days of
activity are ended, but the wish of
al! South Calolina is that many
days of honor and repose may
bless HIM. On this, his natal
day, we send for Charleston. 4
greeting and blessing to Wade
Hampton, gentleman of South
Carolina, Charleston Post.

in regard to the outlook was held.

There are now not more than
90 persons in the pest house at
Pelham Mills. Nearly all those
who have not had the smallpox
have been vaccinated, and it is
not thought that there is mush
danger in the town. But in the
surrounding country there are
about 800 cases. The disease has
spread distance ofeight miles.
The inspectors appointed yes
terday will make a determined
effort to control the disease and
prevent further spread. They
are clothed with the proper author
ity, anil will 60 from house to
house. Every person who has
not been vaccinated will either
have to be or be compelled to
leave the State forthwith. The
board of health feels that in no
other way can the disease, which
they are fNlly satisfied is genuine
smallpox, though of mild form,
be stamped out.
The only other place where the
disease now eXis,s is in Spartan
burg county.
4 letter from DR. Blake to the
board says that there are but three
cases in the city of Spartanburg,
but that there arc several cases
among the operatives Of the Ark
wright and Beaumont mills. Here
the operatives say they would
rather have smallpox than be vac.
cinated In fact, they refuse to
be vaccinated, and the mill man
agement, it is said, arc waiting,

leave in case vaccination is made
compulsory.

LENGTH OF MEXICAN WAR.
Continued for Two Years Before Peace
Was Declared.

Continued for Two Years Before Peace
Was Declared.
The Mexican war is the best exam
pie and instruction in the time 1t takes
to fight small vars. That took two
years, and the present war is moving at
express speed by its side, as might be
expected after flfty-two years. Hos
tilities began March Is, 1886. General
Mejia at Matamoras called out the
Mexican troops. A month later, April
26, 1886, General Taylor called for 5000
militia. A fortnight later, May IL,
congress officially recognized the war
and called for volunteers. Mexico de-
clared war May %, 1916. Mexico had
no fleet and no army on the frontier,
except some desultory levies. Mon
terey was not taken until four months
later, Sept. %, and Buena Vista was
not fought until eight months after the
war began, Feb. %, 1847. After near
ly one year of hostilities, in which our
forces had been drilled and disciplined
in camp and by months of campaign
ing. Gen. Scott sailed for Mexico and
captured Vera Cruz, ten months after
hostilities began-March 20, 1S47. 1t
took four and one-half months, to Sept.
IA. 1S47 before the City of Mexico was
taken. sixteen months after hostilities
opened. Peace only came in two years,
in June, 1S4S. Yet the Mexican war is
quoted as great case of quick work in
fighting.-Philadelp Press.

Earth.s Oldest Flower.

So great is the antiquity of the rose
that all account Of its origin has been
lost. There seems every reason to
believe that the national flower of
England is the oldest of which there
is any record; to Englishmen at least,
it seems a case of the survival of the
fittest. 1t is not mentioned in the Bib
lical writings earlier than the reign
of Solomon, but the allusion to it then
made is such as to indicate that the
flower had already long been known.
In Egypt the rose is depicted on a
number of very early monuments, be-
lieved to date from 5000 to $500 3. c.,
and in the tomb of an Egyptian prin-
cess, disinterred a year ago in south
ern Egypt, several Theoretically sealed
walls were found, which, when opened,
contained genuine altar of roses, so
that the modern claims for the dis
covery of this delicious perfume are
vain. Rose water, or the essence of
roses, is mentioned by Homer in the
"Iliad." Both the Greeks and He

and these, for aught anybody can tell,
may have had it from the Chinese. The
rose in one of those flowers which are
supposed by the people of every land
to be so well known as to need no de-
scription and hardly mention, for 1t is
a singular fact that every continent
on the globe, with the solitary excep-
ton of Australia, produces wild roses.
Even the frozen regions of the north,
where the summer lasts but two or
three months, and is at best a season
which may be described as very late
in the autumn, produce their wild roses
and travellers through Greenland,
Kamschatka and northern Siberia
