ACCORDING to the New York Voice,
on pay day, seven and a-half barrels
(not kegs) of beer, per hour, are sold in
the Soldiers Home at Hampton, in this
State, and the quarterly receipts there
from are $4,000. The thirst of ex-
Union soldiers must be phenomenal;
and yet, as a general thing, physical
disability is not provocative of thirst.

which began at the commissioners

ately after their assembly there at 2
o'clock this afternoon.

sioners adjourned to meet at 2
O'Clock next Friday afternoon. such
interval being desirable and neces
sary to allow separate consideration
by eaca commission Of matters re

fixed for the reception Of the Ameri.
cans is at 4 80 in the afternoon. Gen.

to the session, which will be held at
the Palais de EIysees.
The opinion is now held that the
work of the commissions may be fln
ished within month from the pres
ent time
While it is the general impression
that to.day's meeting was again de-
voted to preliminaries and that the
adjournment to Friday was taken
only to enable the secretaries to draw
cd schedule of work. the represent
stive of the Associated Press learns
that the session was highly important
and that the Americans have made a
demand Of such character that the
Spaniards found it necessary to ask
an adjournment 10 order to enable
them to consult with the government
at Madrid
1, is believed that the question
concerns the Philippines, and it was
known that the Americans are highly
pleased at having 80 soon reached
what they consider very important
phase of tee negotiations and consider
the two sessions thus far held very
satisfactory to America The fact
that a member of the commission
expressed the belief that the work
would be completed within a month,
indicates a happy frame Of mind
The Spanish commissioners great
hopes are buii. on wba, they believe
Gen Merritt will advise, namely,
shat the Philippines are incapable of
self government and thai the whole
question does not warrant America
io taking the responsibility for the
entire Philippines The Spaniards
are, quite ready to give whatever
America asks in the way >of coaIing

very verge of renewal of hostllties.

INSTRUCTING THE JURY.

AS | reached a village under the
shadow Of the Cumberland Mountains
and stopped at the postofiice, was told
that a trial Of considerable Importance
was being held at the Office Of the local
Justice Of the Peace, and presently l
found my way as spectator. A noun
taineer had traded a rifle for mule
with a neighbor and the rifle had prov
ed defective The other man was
therefore seeking the aid Of the law to
have his beast restored to him. There
were dozen witnesses for and against,
and | noticed that almost every man
was armed 1t was jury trial, and
his honor didn't have a word to say
as they went out. Ten minutes later
thew returned for instructions, and. the
foreman asked:
Judge, if we decide this we're case
agin Joe Larkins is thar goin' to be any
hard feelin's lords this jury?"
His Honor decided that the case must
be decided according to law, and the
Jury filed out again. Only a few min
utes had passed when they returned a
second time and the foreman said:
"Jedge, what this jury wants TO know
this time is if thar'll be any hard feel
ms agin us if we decide the case in
favor of Jim Bolands?"
There was an ominOus movement on
the part Of the Iarkins crowd; his hon
or noticed it and replied that he had
full faith in the Jury and expected them
to return a verdict in accordance with
the facts The jury filed out again,
every man of the six looking doubtful
and perplexed; and this time it was a
quarter of an hour before they reap
peared. 1t was further instructions
they wanted, the foreman said, and he
added:
ledge. whar' three of us ar fur Joe
Larkins and three of us for Tom Bo-
lands, what ar we TO do about it,"
Keep talkin' tn case over till yo'
kin all go one way" was the reply
But that amt all, continued the
man. pill Thomas is lookin' into the

an wayin' his shotgun around, and
Pete Silsby he's lookin' in at t'other
winder and sayin' he's fur Jim B0land
and shown big knife. What we go
in to do in such a case?"
The adherents in the court room were
about evenly divided, and his honor
put on his glasses and looked them over
and replied:
'Bein' as the jury stands three 70
three and can't agree, and bein' as we
don't want no fussin' and no hard feel

looked upon the Samoan islands with
covetous eyes. One day he called the
officers Of his navy before him and
babe them sail for Apia to annex those
islands to the Hawaiian kingdom.
1t was a long voyage for inexperl-
enceG sailors. When the navy arrived,
it was ragged, hungry and thirsty The
Samoans were a hospitable people.
The officers of the Hawaiian navy were
feted, the crew was made drunk, and
all were guests of honor.
No mention was made of the cause
Of the visit of the navy, and months
flew by before the true mission OF the
Hawaiians was known. When the real
object of their errand was discovered,
the Samoans were indignant, and the
Kanakas narrowly escaped massacre.
They retreated to their vessel, but
were loath to 60 to sea without sup
plies. They offered to sell the navy to
the Samoans, but the latter refused to
purchase it.
The Kanakas became desperate and
at last succeeded in pawning the navy
to the Samoans for enough money 70
pay their passage home. When they
arrived in Honolulu, they were put in
prison, but the lenient, soft-hearted
king soon liberated them.
