The "Wandering Jew"

January l, lG44, Michob Ader, call
ing himself the Wandering Jew, ap-
peared at Paris, where he created an
extraordinary sensation among all
ranks. He pretended to have lived
sixteen hundred years, and that he
had travelled through all regions OF
the world. He was visited by the
literati Of the city, and no one could
accost him in a language of which he
was ignorant. He was also familiar
with the history Of persons and events
from the time of Christ, so that he was
never contounded by any amount Of
cross-questioning but replied readily
and without any embarrassment. OF
course, be claimed an acquaintance
with all the celebrated characters Of
the previous sixteen centuries. He
said of himself that he was usher Of
the Court of Judgment in Jerusalem,
where all criminal cases were tried at
the time of our Saviour that his
name was Michob Adler and that for
thrusting Jesus out of the hall with
these words "Go; why tarriest thou p
the Messiah answered him: Il go !;
but tarry thou till l come, " thereby
condemning him to live till the day
of Judgment. The learned looked upon
him as an impostor or madman, yet
took their departure bewildered and
astonished.

Anecdote OF General Early.

A student Of the University, writ
ing to the Petersburg Index-Appeal,
says: "An editorial in the Index on
the fighting qualities, or rather the
lack OF fighting qualities, of the FIRE
eaters in the late war puts me in mind
of a conversation | had with one of
our professors some time ago. He
said that he would be glad to have
war with Spain on one condition,
namely, that only the JIngoes and
yellow journalists would compose the
army. lie then told me an anecdote
Of General Early, who signed the se-
cession papers with tears in hls eyes.
Near him was an old fellow from
Charlottesville, who was just bowling
for secession. Turning to him Early
said, You'll never spill drop Of
blood for the cause, and sure enough
about elk months later General Early
came upon this FIRE eater driving a
wagon loaded with shoes which be
was selling. Help yourselves, boys,
said the general to his troops, and
they did it.

What One privateer Did in Eight Months

Just what one little privateer can
do has been revealed by the short ca
reer of the Confederate cruiser Shen-
andoah. She was actually cruising
for the destruction Of Union property
but eight months, and during that
time she captured and destroyed yes
sells to the value Of 81 100000, and
the United States had never been able
to direct blow against her. She had
visited every ocean except the Antarc-
tic, covering a distance Of $4,000
statute miles. She destroyed many
whalels in the Arctic ocean. 1t was
there that the last gun was fired. Ii
was fred from the deck Of the prlva-
teer cruiser Shenandoah by Command
er James Iredsll Waddell on June %
l865-just seventy-four days after the
surrender of Lee at APpomatto1.
Commander Waddell could not per,
guade himself to enter an American
port, and, for some time, aimlessly
secured the seas. In August, however
he spoke the English ship Barricouta'
bound from San Francisco to Liver,
pool, and from her received conclusive
evidence Of the end Of the war between
the States. He resolved to seek ar
English port, and 50, on November
5tb, the Shenandoah entered st
Georges channel, having sailed 22''
600 miles without seeing land. Or
November 9th she steamed up th'
Mersey, and the Confederate flag wal
hauled down by Commander Waddell

Cuba.

Cuba is the largest and most west
ern Of the group of islands called the
West Indies, and situated in the Car
rlbean Sea.
1t is III miles from Yucatan, 90
miles from Florida, los miles from
Jamaica and IS miles from Hayt.
Cuba resembles somewhat the arc of
a circle Its greatest length-frOm
east to VESTS about $50 miles, and
its greatest breath, which is IN the
eastern part, is 100 miles-Or a little
farther than from Luay to Roanoke;
at Havana the island is only - miles
wide
Around the island are innrmenble
islets, keys and banks, facilitating
navigation for small boats, but very
dangerous in many places for larger
vessels.
The southern coast of Cuba is COW
cred with a species of brushwood called
manglades, the bark of which is used
for tanning purposes.
4 chain of mountains traverse Cuba
from east 10 west, only a few isolated
groups being of much height until it
reaches the eastern coast In the prov
ince of Santiago de Cuba, where 1t
IONS group called Sierra de CObre,
with peaks 5000 feet hgh.
Vast caverns are found in many
parts Of the island-noue, however, SO
far as we've heard, to compare with
the wonderful Luray Caverns.
In the city Of Havana-with a pop
ulation Of 270,0OO-the death rate }.
3 per cent.
The whole of the island Is habitable
for people Of temperate and even cold
climates, provided they do not drink
to excess, or eat unrIpe fruits, and OBJ
serve general sanitary rules.
The census of 1887 gave Cuba a
population of l,O53,O0O whites and
$4,000 blacks.
The months from May to October
are called the wet season, although
rain falls every month May is the
first spring month.
Havana has 10000 inhabitants,
fine streets, fine mansions and first
class hotels
Christopher Columbus and his son
Diego are buried in Havana.
Mantanzas, Puerto and Santiago
each have about 10000 inhabitants.
Corn and potatoes produce two and
three crops each year. Bananas, sug-
ar and tobacco are the chief articles Of
consumption and Of export.
There are more than 900 miles Of
railroad track in Cuba.

Who lack the lights that guide us,

Let not Thy wrath befall them,
But deal to us the blame.

Terms Used in Army and Navy.

Just now, when everybody is inter-
ested in the movements Of the army
and navy, the average reader Is not
unlikely to become confused with the
multiplicity of the terms and titles
employed by the newspapers. He may
make the mistake, for instance, Of
thinking that a captain IN the navy Is
equal in rank to a captain in the IN
fantry, or that the captain in the IN
fantry is bigger man than a naval
lieutenant. He may be interested to
know that there are two kinds Of
sauadrous, one which runs on land and
one which travels on the water that
regiment of artillery consists OF twelve
batteries of six guns each, and that
regiment of cavalry is composed OF
twelve troops, two or more Of which
form a squadron. The relative rank
of the officers Of the army and navy
and the divisions in the formation Of
these two branches Of the service are

have been sent to me. The version as

the cause of the duel is undoubtedly the
correct one. and has been furnished to
me by no less than SIN or eight different
people, some of them very old settlers OF
Winchester, and until the article by Mrs.
Getzendanner it had never been queS-
toned.
Peyton BHH Smith, as my register
shows, was named for 4 Mr. John Pey-
ton, Of Winchester, friend of his faith
er, and who, with his wife, was present
at the christening Of Peyton. The old
Bible register in Mrs. Smiths handwrit-
ing so states it. Dull was his mother 5
maiden namc.)
Mr.. Joseph Holmes and Mr.. Pcyton
Smith were boyhood companions, and
until the recruiting officers engaged them
in the game of cards and encouraged the
dispute there had never been any differ
cnce between them. For two or three
days after Smiths death Holmes at
tempted to commit suicide and was bare
ly prevented from doing SO, He died Il
complete wreck.
The recruiting officers left for parts
unknown Immediately after the duel for
fear of being roughly handled. The fol-
lowing was copied from clipping ol
