PROMOTED FOR BATHING.

An incident related by the late Mar shal Canrobert, a French general, ot his own experiences in the Crimean war, sheds culious light on the French character; it shows how much the French like picturesque incident and also, perhaps, how heroic an episode might appear to them which was at least not far from the ordinary to a northern people.
 In the Crimea, during the winter, Gen. tanrobert was in the habit of going out Among the men of his command, incog- ito, to see what they were about, and , learn their wants and encourage the 'ldiers if they needed encouragement

the opposition" which once was so ready to die now looms up in threat. ening magnitude, with the cares or state stamped upon it's brow and Dlt- ter denunciation in it's frOwns. The silence of this stealthy awfulness was broken one day and voice rose up from the vicinity of the town harness makers shop and went chilling, thrill ing through the streets: Where once there was a hard road there IS no" dust We have been taxed to g ade a street, but the result is dust. we have been taxed to grade, but the grading was finished with dust. We were told our money would be spent to pave our street and they have spent it to cover the street with dust The middle of the street is filled with dust! They have taken up my pavement, which was dry even while it yet rained, and put it somewhere else and in it's place and before my door they have put dust!! I say to you there is one grand kick in this town, from it's center to its circumference; now we can have it graveled if we pay for it- ye gods, turn us loose!!! Now, then, I offer for your consideration, fellow sufferers, the following resolution: Whereas, The ignominy of our rulers who sit in state above us has been more than we can stomach and, whereas, for confidence they have given us mistrust for peace, they have given us agony for the clear air which was the boast of mankind, they have given us an atmosphere which bids fair to depopulate our fair city, and, whereas, for gravel they have given us dust, now, therefore, be it resolved that we do pile up this dust in the middle of the street, siege the armory, call out the militia and from behind this pile of dust destroy this corporation like free men,"
 The resolution was carried with a cheer that shook the town. The reso- lution would have been carried out and the vale of Tempe would soon have been no more but for the fact that shortly after that the street sprinkler, who had been indisposed because he was not financially appreciated, having got matters satisfactorily ar ranged, patched ho1e in his tank, found a nut for his axle and gave the street a good wetting. Having over come this great obstacle the corpora tion believes 1t will become great city some day.

The South Side
(Continued From Sixth Page.) THE TRIUMPH OF TEMPE.

Although the clouds of war With Spain have been gathering omlnous and awful in the horizon, there are clouds of gathering storm still more ominous and more awful hover ng around the peaceful little city of Tempe. Many times the citizens of that little city have ceased in nursing their indignation at the Maine disaster, have stopped in their bitter denuncia- tion of Spain, have forgotten their impatience with the American admin istration and have listened with trembling knees, blanched faces and quaking hearts at the growlings and rumblings vibrated from the butte. That grand old protecting sentinel has been seen to quiver itse,f. The atmos- phere sometimes assumes an unnat- ural hue. The people who once went about their avocatiOn so confidently, now walk in trembling as though they lived over a bursting inferno. They cast hasty glances around and sniff terror in the air. No one understands the meaning of these phenomena and because all is unanswerable the agony is doubled. The one who could pierce the black vale of uncertainty and find luc OTlSlu Ol Iu0S0 mySCeTlOuS IuluSS would be public benefactor, and the one who would attempt to measure the effect after the disaster would pos sess brave heart. Great as the fame and glory would be, yet the responsi- bility must be shouldered and these things must be told.
 These phenomena are not in nature, but in the abstract. These rumblings which reverberate from the towering butte are caused by the heaven reach ing indignation of an outraged peo-. pie. The unnatural coloring of the at mosphere is caused by dust mixed with the black looks of men in secret plotting.
 There has been great deal of opto- sition in that city to it's being incor- porated, because of the idea that the taxes are heavier than they should be. Another faction is in favor of incor- poration and extra taxes, providing the money is used for city improve ments. The opposition" believed it had heard it's death knell when it heard the ring of the grader on the principal street, and thought it saw it's own corpse reflected in the shining shovels used in spreading cement to pave the well graded street.

last resort for the defense of the honor of the nation.
 s'The belief appeared to be genesa al that the Maine was blown up by in ! tentlon and not by accident, but whether done by Cubans or Spaniards, the disposition seemed universal to ac- quit the authorities of any gull y knowledge, collision, or complicity, in advance of positive proof to the con- trary.
 The tone of the newspapers is re markedly judicial and conservative, except at Atlanta, where the Constitu- tiOn exhibited some tendency toward i hysteria.
 ''The gravity of the situation Is ad- mitted by every one, and the possibil- l ity of war conceded, but the attitude | of the administration is cordially ap- | proved, and the conduct of the presi- dent under personal provOcation is especially commended.
 ''The most gratifying indication to me is the growth and development of the national spirit in the south. The narrow provincialism of the past has gone. The points of the compass are disappearing from politics, and state lines are fading from the map. Moth

 l 'We have been large gathers by the
 Klondyke rush, to be sure, but even
 if that had never materialized the natural conditions of commerce would

 We have market for our flour in
 Japan and China that fixes a price of our wheat quite independent of the ! Liverpool market. Our lumber, too, i is in demand in nearly every quarter of the globe. Last year we shipped east more shingles than were produced in the four greatest lumber states of the Union con bined."
 i Mr.. Clise will carry back with him a document from the war department, showing acceptance on the part of the government of a grand donation of land by the city of Seattle for the es- tablishment of a military post. The municipality gives up unreservedly 900 acres of land inside the city limits for the location of the post-690 acres of forest, and the rest fronting on Puget Sound, the whole forming a res ervation susceptible of unlimited adornment. The government would have, but for this gift, been compel ed to pay many thousands of dollars for 1 such a tract.

Washington, March 6.-Hon. John J. Ingalls, has returned from a lyceum tour through Alabama, Georgia, and the Carolina's. Speaking of the sit aation in those parts, he said:
 "'The pulse, temperature, and res piration Of the south are absolutely normal. There is no fever nor ex- citement; no delirium nor frenzy in any locality that visited. The tenn per of the people. is rational, patriotic, and admirable in every way. At the clubs, in the hotels, on the trains, the destruction of the Maine and the re- lations of the United States to the contest between Spain and Cuba were constant topics of discussion, and I heard no sentiment for war except as

That's an odd sort of soap you are using," exclaimed the general.

 Well" said Canrobert, "what if I should give you another way of getting wen with those old fellows?"
 ''Why. I shouldn't mind," answered he young soldier.
 ''I'n make you corporal" said the general.
 The soldier laughed "I guess that won't go,' said he. You'd find my colonel wouldn't have it."
 ''I'm higher than your colonel; am Gen. Canrobert.''
 The soldier was in transports-espe- cially as the same day he was made a corporal in the presence of the regi- ment-
 The story is authentic, and it is a good Illustration of the ways which served to make Canrobert the most pop ular general in the French army; but it is unsatisfactory in the respect that it does not tell whether the young cor poral went on taking baths in the snow in the hope of being made sergeant.

HOW TO MAKE GOOD TEA.

Reasons for 1t.
FROM an Exchange.

From an Exchange.
The facts 10 be borne in mind in the
preparation of a cup Of tea, says DIR. Good
fellow, a recognized expert of London, are,
first, to develop the aroma; second, to OBJ
tain the maximum quantity of theme with
the minimum percentage of fannie acid.
In order to do this 10 perfection, he add
ed, il is necessary to have two hot dry,
earthenware teapots, and as soft a water
as possible. Should the wafer be hard 1t
should be used directly IL has started 70
boil, otherwise the precipitation of the
hardening salts will interfere with the
solution of the constituents.
Last, but not least, good tea must be
used. The teapots should be placed In
front OF the fire, or on the hob. to get
them warm. Good tea can seldom be
made in a cold or wet teapot. When the
water has come to the boil the tea should
be placed in one of the not pots, and al
lowed to remain with the cover on for
half a minute; boiling water should then
be poured in quickly to the amount re-
quired, and the pot allowed to stand
under a coy for four minutes, or from
three to five minutes according 10 the
kind of tea used. After this period has
elapsed the infusion should be used at
once or If REQUIRED to stand for a little
while should be poured off into the sec

battered and helpless, driftod ashore in
flames. The Oregon accompanied by the
Brooklyn, sped on after the fleet footed
Colon. The rapid fire batteries OF both
American ships ratified and shrleked after
the fugitive, The S7inch guns rumbled an
