EXPLORING The PHILIPPINES.
What Two Naval Officers Saw In the In
terror.


terror.
Paymaster w. B. Wilcox and Naval
Cadet L. R. Sargent, of the United
States monitor Monadnock, have re.
turned to Manila after a six weeks
tour of the interior, says cablegram
of Wednesday. They report that they
were we'll received everywhere. Trav-
cling, however, was most difficult.
The officers visited the watershed OF
the Rio Grande and Cazayan. They
say its fertility is marvellous. Not a
ward of barren land was seen. The
towns were quiet and prosperous, the
plains were highly cultivated and the
mountains were splendidly timbered.
The rivers were mostly without bridges,
and are almost impossible during the
rainy season.
The native authorities refused to
permit travellers to 70 into the noun
tain unescorted, because the "head
hunters" annihilate any party of less
than 20 rifles.
Near Ilagan, the natives mistook Mr..
Sargent for a Spaniard ard opened
FIRE; but nobody was hurt. Messrs.
Wilcox and Sargent enjoyed three
days festivities at Ilagan. There were
dinners, theatre parties and a ball in
honor of the Americans, who were
immensely surprised at the culture and
education of the people. The latter
wear western dress and the ladies are
beautiful, entirely falsifying the an
ticipations of semi-savagery.
The insurgent troops have every
where apparently settled down, and
there were no signs of dissatisfaction
with Aguinaldo's government.
There are many Spanish soldiers and
friars in captivity; but no sisters OF
charity were observed among the pris-
oners.
They sailed down splendid river to
Parri, at the extreme north of the
island of Luzon, where they arrived
on November 5, on board the insur-
gent steamer Filipinos.
From there the apparently idle traV-
elers took a steamer to Uslo, on the
west coast, and landed and tramped
through the province of 1locos, near
the mountains inhabited by the Neg
ritos, or black aborigines. They saw
none, but they collected number of
interesting weapons and implements.
That part of the country is apparently
quiet, excepting in the mountains,
where a state of primitive savagery
exists.

HAD A GOOD MEMORY.


"It isn't often," said the well-known
attorney, as he smiled to himself, "that
a witness gets the best of lawyer.
But I remember one that got the best
of me in a way that caused the sbivers
to run up and down my back.
"a good many years ago l was re-
tanned upon line fence suit between
two old farmers. 1t had been in the
courts for ten years, and bid fair to be
there for ten more unless the parties
became bankrupt in the meanwhile.
"It was my first appearance in the
matter, I having taken the place OF
one of the lawyers who died.
"I was very, very young. In fact,
it was my first case, and felt my I'M
portance more than I do now after 80
years of hard grind. =.
"Among the witnesses was an old
farmer that knew personally, having
been born and brought up in the same
neighborhood.
"He was put on the stand to swear
to some facts that happened ten years
back, and when he was turned over to
me for cross-examination, l proceeded
to test the value of his memory dating
so far back.
"sDo you mean to say began,
sternly, 'that you can remember a
mere incident that happened ten years
ago?'
I" yes, SIR he answered.
"sThen you mean to say that you
can remember on certain day, ten
years ago, that Farmer Dunn drove
a black -and-white cow into his back
pasture?'
"sYes, sir, kim he answered.
"'Then, perhaps said 1, sarcastic
ally, 'you can remember something else
that happened upon that particular
day?'
"sYes, kim he put in, eagerly
.ies' after I saw Farmer Dunn drive
that cow of his'n into his back pasture
wuz goin' through my apple orchard
when I saw ye and two other kids
stealin' apples. When ye saw me
comm ye tried to git away; the other
kids did; but I cotched ye when ye
kim a-slidin' down the trunk OF the
tree
"Like flash my memory went back
ten years to very painful experience,
and I tried to stop him but he went
on.
"sAn' 1 took ye across my lap an
gave We the all-iredist spankin' that
ye ever had,' he concluded.
"I didn't question his memory any
further."-Detroit Free Press.

A METAPHYSICAL CoMBAT.-The
great colored preacher of the Baptists
was pitted against the Methodist di-
vine. The first says:
"De Methodiss, my bruddren, is like
de grasshopper-hoppin,' all de time
hoppin'-hoppin'-hop into heaven,
hop out, hop into heaven, hop out.
But my bruddren, de Baptiss, when he
get to heaven, he's dar. De Baptiss is
like de possum. Hunter get after him
he climb de tree; he shake de limb
one foot gone he shake de limb, an
udder foot gone; he shake de limb
ebbery foot gone; but tink you, my
bruddren, possum falls? You know
my bruddren-you cotch too many
you know 'possum hang on by tail
and de berry debbil can't shake him
off,"
The Methody fell below par in the
colored folks heart until sometime
afterward, when this particular belle
again had admirers, for the opposition
clergy demolished the Baptist as fol
lows:
His text was: "My sheep hears my
voice and I know them, and dey fol
lows me-" Then he said "In de-
Bible de Christians is de sheep" He
had heap of Bible in dat pint, ant
he preached a mighty long time, and
made dat 50 strong no niger can't
dispute it. "Now, my bruddren and
sisters, you all knows you can't get 6
sheep into de water nohow, less yor
cotch him and carries him in." Ther
Methody had a great and final triumph
