A Political story by "tiam" Lewis.

During the civil war one OF the regi-
ments from the North, mostly composed
of Irishmen, who are ever loyal to their
country, was passing Georgia along the
line OF Sherman's march to the sea.
There they had the misfortune to be as
sailed by hostile regiment that ap-
peared to be getting the best of them.
1T was in the midst of the hail of
death, when the Irish regiment was being
moved down, there being NO shelter,
no ambuscade, that OF sudden there
rushed out from the ranks little witty
Irish Sergeant, who remembered his
country and remembered Georgia. He
rushed into the line OF fire, and called

Liyable Rooms.

The successful placing of chairs in a
drawing room amounts to an art. Every
one knows how, with some articles of
furniture, one woman will make a room
look livable, and another will make it
look stiff, while stupid servant will
completely spoil the effect after a gene
raj cleaning by putting each thing Just
wrong"
Any one who entertains much should
really study the arrangement of chairs,
as their juxtaposition and look of invita-
ton have much to do with the success of
small gatherings. A Washington wo-
man, whose charming receptions were
noted Tor their attractiveness, and who
has the nearest approach to a "salon''
that is possible in this country, said,
when asked for the secret of her success
II really ascribe what you are kind
enough to term my popularity to my
chairs. / never clear out my rooms for a
crowd, as is generally the custom, but
place inviting looking seats in groups.
and it is astonishing how quickly each
group forms, as it were, focus and
draws congenial people together"

A Coming Dilemma.

Old ninety-eight Is nearly past,
And ninetynine is coming fast;
And soon our poets will be found
All writing madly on the ground
For ninety-nine. like weight.
A twelvemonth hence must meet its fate;
And then our poets will be caught
At finding rhymes for naughty naught"
Not 'at the rhymes are very rare
They can be found most anywhere.
But how can one refer with pride,
In lofty rhythm and dignified,
In periods full OF sentiment
OF nobler sort, from Heaven sent,
When In the end slap bang they're brought
Against a term like ''naughty-naught? 2"
And after naughty naught" Is done.

OLYMPIA. FLAGSHIP.
Manila, Oct. %, 1898.
My Dear Mrs. Moss: wish to express
to you my deepest sympathy 1t must
lessen your sorrow somewhat to know
that your young husband fell fighting
bravely for his country, the noblest death
man can know. From the Olympia /
watched the fight that fearful night and
wondered how many American homes
would be saddened by the martyrdom
suffered by our brave men, and my SYM
pathy went out to each and every one of
them.
Your loss has been sadder than the
Others, and / am unable to express the
sorrow l feel for you. Tears came to my
eyes as / read the sad story of the father
who never saw his child and then the
loss Of all that was left to the brave
mother. 1t is hard sometimes to believe,
but our Heavenly Father, in his infinite
goodness, always does things for the
best, and some day father, mother and
daughter will be joined, never again to
be parted. With my tenderest sy mpathy,
believe me, your sincere friend.

A QUEER VISION.

THE son OF the Duke of Connaugh
IS now the flag at the great English
school in Eaton of young Astor, the
son OF the New York Astor, who nov
resides in England"
General Washington, on the day fol
lowing the surrender OF Lord Cornwall
lis at Yorktown, Va. on the 18th day
of OCTOBER, 1871, invited the defeated
British commander to dine with him
After a sumptuous dinner on Hampton
bar oysters, Pocomoke back terrapins
and Harvre de Grasse canvass backs,
with a liberal consumption of Old Vir-
ginia rye, the two great commanders
became confidential
MY Lord" said Washington. Il had
a dream last night, after l had taken
your sword to bed with me, so that il
could not be stolen. | saw a rich Am
erican living in your city of London
| saw his boy put into one of your
schools. I saw the son of a Royal
Duke, and the grandson of a Queen
and Empress, led to that American
youth, and installed as his fag, his
servant. I saw the Royal youth fetch
ing beer, carrying packages, brushing
the clothes, blackening the boots of that
Yankee, and doing all of these mental
services which the British constitution
and immemorial usage requires a fag
to do. / saw the Royal parents. and an
Empress grandmother approving of it.
Yes sir, approving of this homage
My Lord, is this nothing bat a dream -
To him Lord CORVALLIS replied:
General, if it is a true dream, if its
forecast should ever happen, | am in
deed Inundated. You have taken my
sword take my coat, my boots and
shirt. Did I cross the ocean to sur
render to a nation, that will send il
the future an audacious youth to do
inmate English aristOcrats?"
General Washington replied: 'My
Lord, in the near future | shall be Pres
ident Of a new nation. I shall in ny

den by Mrs. Washington | shall war;
them, now that l have had this vision
against foreign matrimonial alliances
which may undo the work of these last
eight years. Who will live to put the
brakes on the wheels of history?"
The two commanders, arm in arm
walked silently to the side board of tn,
Nelson house. What indeed had the,
fought for? And then, in terror il
sorrow, at the strange and unseeml!
picture cast by the dream, they walked
arm in arm, to the bluffs of the Yorl

dency: "a common destiny, a common

PRISONERS AS FARMERS.

The man who put into the plat
form of the American Union
Party, the plank, recommending
the employment of the prisoners
on farm, deserves great praise.
The State of South Carolina
employs her prisoners in this way.
with profit to the State, and with
great benefit to the prisoners
themselves. The cOnvicts of
Mississippi, employed on the
State farming lands returned Il
profit of $4,000 to the State last
year. Eight thousand acres of
land, in addition have been recent
" purchased. and much more has
been leased. On this land its 900
convicts are working, under hu-
man treatment. and with excellent
results.
1t has taken many centuries to
find out that the closer mankind
come to an intelligent and brainy
use of the soil, the nearer they
come to the conditions of a whole
some life. This was General
WashingtOn's opinion, hundred
years ago. The image of that
great man is profoundly worship
ped, but little respect is paid to
his opinions.
If we will make high grade
farmers of our prisoners, it may
happen III a hundred years, that
the aristOcratic yeomanry of these
Islands will date their beginnings
from the time when their ances-
tors were prisoners on the Homo
lulu reef" and were educated in
the prisoners agricultural
schools.

THE SAILORS.

The words of that old sea dog,
Captain Cutler are weighty. 1t is
pity that philanthropists, as a
rule, make up the facts to suit
their theories, instead of letting
the facts make out their own theO-
ries. The few men who have been
successful in influencing Jacks
moral nature, have preached little
TO him. These few men have had
deep insight into human nature,
and have taken it as they found
it. The most eloquent sermon on
religion is the silent sermon, the
sermon of the deed and not the
creed. 1t never failed to reach
Jack.
On our table, for some days,
has been the valuable suggestion
of Collector McStOcker that a
respectable free and easy be at
tached TO the Sailors Home; that
the singers, dancers and elOcu-
tionists among them be encOur-
aged: in fine that Jack be treated
as he is and not as he ought to be.
The immense value of the Y. NJ.
G.. A. is that it treats young men,
not as imaginary creatures, Great
ed by unwOrldly old theOlo-
gians, but as they are actually in
the flesh.
Jack, often degraded, but with
the elements of better things i'll
him, responds to kind words, but
he needs above all things a better
environment, suitable to his own
tastes, a place where he can get
his own amusement, and not other
peoples amusement.
One may as well preach God to
the whirlwinds as to preach Him
to men who live in fOrecastle
stinks, and only see vengeance
and cruelty and misery in His
reign. When Jack finds himself in
the nasty and fetid quarters of Il
vessel, owned by God-fearing men,
it is useless to tell him that he is
put there for some great, wise
and inscrutable purpose" His
reason cannot work it out. But
he does understand the Divinity
that treats him just as he is,
through the hands of kind men
and women, working on the lines
of his own limited education, and
almost perverted nature.
