THE BITTER RIVER WARRIORS.

When fust the papers come to hand A sayin' there might be a war, You'd ort to seen us fellers stand
 A fightin' battles at the bari There want Bitter River chap.
 From Colonel Tom to Kid McLane, That wasn't acbin' fur a scrap
 All spattered up with blood, with Spain Wed stand an diagnose the news 'Atween our frequent shifts O booze. or Colonel Tom he said that he
 Was in the wor O Sixty-one. An reckoned he was up in G,
 A pumpin' bullets through gun Fur bravery in facin' death AT s tbsn name ssT was on the honor hf rol- By histin' in another bowl An we jes' cheered till we was hoarse: Him settin' up the drinks, of course. AP Rv oneEyed saSE baf Riley b he ehi9Pped iR All over sacred ol Virgin, An used to, make the rebels git. He reckoned he was jes' as brave An many a rebel soger grave aed 6o fuTPished iq sEna with an oeeupant Wed see he was fighter yet. Then Shorty Norton said that when
 You talked O desp'rit fghtin, he Was one O them same rebel men
 That tux his. dose along with Lee. It used to be his one delight,
 As Lee an all his comrades knew, To hunt the thickest O the fight
 An plug them sassy boys in blue. An If call for sogers come Wed see him steppin' to the drum. An Dick the Lamb an Faro Dowd An Windy Jim an Scrapper White In short the hull durned River crowd Was all itchin' fur a fight An when ol Colonel Tom once more Set up the devil lightnin. and Got off a speech bout spillin' gore We 'lected him to take command, An swore that In the bloody fray Wed foller him through Helena. Mex day we found a written call
 Stuck up in front O Jackson's store, In scholar langwidge askin' all
 To give their sarvice to the war. It drawed a quite excited crowd,
 An twasn't very hard to see That talkin' wasn't near loud
 Nor bloody as 1t used to be. None of hadn't much to say, An said it, in quiet way or Colonel Tom he run the bluff
 That he was old an full O pain, An there was youngish men enough An One-Eyed Riley said at he

That night twas hinted round that Buck, That's tendin' bar fur Whisky Brown, Whose place we paternize, had stuck That notice up to call down. An when he owned right up on sight That he had put the war call there We acquiesced in his invite

 ,...,o while and on her return to her borne on wheels walked down Fourth street to her destination Instead or tahihS a street car She was accompamed py d couple of theatrical people besides one oi two Willie-boy admirers, who, kho"lhS the charming Annas love of comfort anu distaste for any sort of unnecessary phy sical exertion, wondered why she shoulo elect to walk instead of riding, particu- larly such a distance and at such d liae' the hour being considerably after ten. They had not gone far before they passed a ereen-grocer's and Miss Held stopped and purchased a bunch or asparagus which she handed to one of her admirers who not only carried it, but gallantly in sisted on paying for it. At the next shop a bundle of spinach was acquired, Wnlcn was paid for and carried by aulhirer No' 2. Then, in quick succession, a market, a fruit store and a fish stall were visited and purchases made, which were paid Tor hv the different male members or the party until every one of the crowd was packing something that promised to de- ve,op into a toothsome dish under the skiIlful handling of good COOK. MISS Held herself brought up the rear, carry ing a large sized crab tied to the end of a string To the numerous interroga- tories put to her with the purpose of as pertaining what she intended to do she would return the one answer to wait ana see the artist she had for COOK, so the gentlemen who were carrying the oll- ferent articles trotted along contentedly, cheered by visions of the delightful mid night supper that would reward them for their trouble and devotion when the car should at last have been reached. It is a. long lane that has no turning and Fourth street is no exception to other lanes When the party stood beside the ear they heaved a sigh of relief, and, handing their bundles to the servant, they prepared to mount the steps which were to lead them to the interior and supper. Miss Held. however, had 8 surprise in store for them which they little suspected. Standing on the platform she expressed her regret that the lateness of the hour prevented her from asking them in and then, thanking them for their kindness in carrying the parcels, which she in formed them were destined to charm the palate of Tod Sloan. who was to dine with her on the morrow, she bade them smiling good night and vanished. To say the gentlemen of the party were crest fallen would be putting it mildly. They were crushed.

NO OBJECTION TO THESE.

While there is a general feeling against the incoming of the off-scourings of Europe no one will have word to say against 605 steerage passengers who ar rived last week on the Kaiser Wilhelm. Their average age was 25 years old and they brought $21 ,460 with them. had rail- road tickets to their destination and knew exactly where they wanted to go. A third of them were Russian Mennonites, who are bound for the Dakotas and Washington, where so many of their countrynen are already settled and are developing that great agricultural terri tory. Such citizens as these would be welcome anywhere in the world.-Louis- vile Courier-Journal.

It is claimed that no demand had been made upon Page for return of the stolen money. and far actual words are concerned this may be true. Yet the cir cumstance of arrest the charge of stealing might be construed into strong insinuaton that the of the loot considered desirable If Page has the money concealed about his person and yearns to make restitution he should not let didence due to the fact that he had not been asked for 1t stand in the way of handing it over.

ONE GREAT UNITED COUNTRY.
 

General Wade Hampton's advice to Southern men to stay at home and let the North furnish the troops, if war is de- clared against Spain, is narrow. sectional and wholly repugnant to the feelings of the brave followers of Lee and Stonewan Jackson. We are one great country un- der one flag. and it is admitted by patri- ots all over the land that declaration of war would have the effect of abolishing sectional lines, and that in the future there would be no North, no South, no East, no West, but one great reunited nation standing shoulder to shoulder in defense of a common cause. We are sur- priSed at Wade Hampton.

 Look at the proportion between the to- tai revenue and the interest charge upon the public debt and he who fears war with Spain may be treasured that the hostilitfes may occur only between the treasuries at Washington and Madrid.
