four points; the Americans three. Among
the British points was that relating TO the

The peace treaty was finally agreed to
December "a, 1874.
During the Mexican war. while hostilties
were still In progress. the chief clerk of the
state department, Nicholas p Trist, was
sent to Mexico to open negotiations for
peace. He was instructed TO demand the
cessation OF New Mexico and California.
These terms were rejected by Mexico.
Thereupon the United States recalled Trist.
This caused much agitation in Mexico.
for it was feared that the United States
would adopt very aggressive steps. Trist
had not acted on the recall, but had re-
manned in Mexico. He succeeded as a
result OF the changed feeling. in making
treaty of peace. known as the treaty of
Guadalupe Hidaigo. February 4, lSiS.
At the close OF the civil war there were
no peace negotiations OF treaty in the usual

Cnwritten Law.

1t is an unwritten law in America

and obeyed saves endless confusion.

the gun is directed by the left hand.
lie offers his defensive side to the
stranger. In Europe they turn to the
left. That is because the spear was
pointed and the mace yielded with the
right hand. 1t is remarkable how many
of our manners are feudal and military
pretty much all Of them, iu fact A
respectable bow is concession of su-
periority, survival in much modified
form of the oriental prostration. The
military salute is token of surrender.
The finest Of all salutes is the lifting
of the hat. 1t is an act Of homage, an
acknowledgement of moral worth; and,
unlike the others, has no pretense of
humanity in it. 1t is reserved for the
most part for cstimable ladies', and it
is remarkable how much discrimina-
tion is shown in yielding it to men.
Touching the hat is military salute
and means comradeship. There is an
extended code of the unwritten laws
OF social life, but they are mostly nat
ural and therefore obcyed spontaneous
ly. The unwritten law of the highway
is that, in meeting, each must give
half, but if one is light and the other
loaded the light must give all. Peo-
pie do that because it Immediately ap-
peals to the sense of appropriateness
and right. One who disobeys these
laws is regarded as more than uncul-
tured he is regarded as morally coarse.
The obedience Of the crowd to the
policemen is an intelligent obedience.
The people know that good order is
necessary to progress, and that disre-
gard Of the policeman's orders lead to
discomfort, confusion and collision.
Nothing is more conductive to happi-
ness than the spirit and habit of obedi-
ence to lawful authority. The boy
who is not trained to obey his parents
is left to incur word Of trouble in
life.

"A Wartime Luxury.

While some of the ''old boys were
talking over the stirring times when
they played so prominent part the
colonel took Il hand, with hardtack as
his subject:
Il never saw a company of volun-
tccrs go out yct," he said, "that they
did not kick good and plenty against
the army cracker. 1t was so when /
was a lieutenant with lot of raw re-
cruits. There was next thing to
mutiny. They vowed that hardtack
had less taste than air, water sponge
or cork. They designatedit it as solidi-
fed nothing brittled in q desert heat.
The Government was invcighed against
as the worst kind Of provider and
the GROWERS would punish each other
by telling what good things they used
to get at home. I Ea heard groan
from hundred throats when some
fellow would yell pie just as taunt
and self-relief.
con the first expedition intrusted
to the boys managed to have bread
issued for them, and they were tick
led beyond expression. Before the
end Of the second day the bread was
sour. The next day it was far worse,
and simply defcd anything better
than starving appetite. Before we
got back to camp they were fairly
crying for hardtack as children do for
gingerbread when on pic mic excur-
sion. Later we had worse and moro
convincing experience. Our army
was making forced march, and ran
out of regular rations. Flour was
issued instead of crackers. Occa-
sionally orders to advance came before
we had time to prepare any sort Of
bread, and away we d go carrying our
allowance of -four. When caught in o
rain storm the -four would be changed
to paste, and when we tried to cook it
in this form it was about as digestible
as grape and canister. We had half
baked dough that would send an alli-
gator to the hospital, fapjack that
reached the stomach with dull thud
and rolls that justified their name only
in the subsequent effect produced
upon the eater. When we struck
point where bareback could be issued
the boys cheered as Justify as though
they had won hard battle.
"We men who have been through it
know that this same despised hard
tack is the mainstay and comes to be
the solace Of the army. Il is as good
wet as dry, if not better. If crumbled
till you have to eat it with spoon or
by the handful, it is just as palatable
as when it is intact. The man that
invented hardtack did whole lot to
fight the battles Of the world. -

A Critical Time During the Battle OF
Santiago.
SICK OR WELL, A RUSH NIGHT AND
DAY.

The packers at the battle of Santi-
ago de Cuba were all heroes. Their
heroic efforts in getting ammunition
and rations to the front saved the day.
7. Il. Butler, of pack-train No. 3,
writing from Santiago de Cuba, on
July 23rd, says owe all had diar-
rhoea in more or less violent form,
and when we landed We had no time
to see doctor, for it was a case of
rush and rush night and day to keep
the troops supplied with ammunition
and rations, but thanks to Chamber
lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy, we were able to keep at work
and keep our health; in fact, I sim
cerely believe that at one critical time
this medicine was the indirect saviour
of our army, for if the packers had
been unable to work there would have
been NO way Of getting supplies to the
front. There were no roads that a
wagon train could use. My comrade
and myself had the good fortune to
lay in q supply Of this medicine for
our pack-train before we left tampa,
and know in four cases it absolutely
saved life."

Excursion to New Territory.

The first excursion from the south
to Cuba and Porto Rico vii probably
leave Savannah sometime in the first
week of October.
A splendid steamer has been char
tered, it is said, and the gentlemen in
charge Of the proposed trip are Allan
tians. Realizing that nothing could
be of more interest just at present
than Cuba and Porto Rico, several
gentlemen have been negotiating
for couple Of weeks for safe, COM
modious and weli-equipped steamer.
These negotiations have proceeded far
enough to warrant the statement that
there is almost certainty that the
complete arrangements for the trip
will be made known shortly.
The steamer will accommodate be-
tween 200 and 300 passengers and the
trip will occupy about three weeks.
Tie FIRST stop will be made at point
in Cuba, and the next stop will be
at Ponce, Porto Rico.

sPINNERS MAY GO SOUTH.
A Solution of the Cotton Mill Trouble
is offered.

Boston, Jan. 10:-A special meeting of
the executive board of the state branch
of the American Federation of labor
was held here today for the purpose OF
discussing the situation of the cotton
mill operatives in this state and devils
ing ways and means to furnish employ
Inent for those who will be thrown out
of work by strikes and lOckOuts. It
was stated by a representative that
number of southern capitalists We're de-
sirous of building up the cotton spin
ming industry of the south and that
sufficient capital would be forthcoming
if the skilled labor of the east would
go there and work on a system OF
profit sharing.
It is further stated that higher grades
of goods could be manufactured in the
south as successfully as in the north,
and that the wages to be paid would
equal if not exceed those paid in the
east. A certain town in the south
would give land sufficient for a large
factory and would furnish $4,000 cash
and would guarantee stock subscrip-
lions of the amount of 800 900. The
committee instructed the officials of
the board to Investigate the matter
and report at once as to the advisable
ity of sending a committee south to
look into the matter. The committee
then voted to organize the hosting and
portable engineers in Lowell, New Bed
ford and other cities
