WASHINGTON, June 23.-Two near rela-

in the volunteer army as private soldiers
to aid in the establishment of safe and
stable government IN the Island of Cuba.
They are his nephews. John Dewalt Barber
and James Fuller Mckinley. both OF whom

some of their friends to appoint them Sec

easily have done so In filling the numerous
vacancies in that grade caused by the re-

He declined however, TO exercise his pre-

willing TO enlist as privates he would pre-

piled with emphasis: absurd! The thought
never came to me- No more was it ever

Put Up the Price on Him.

Mr. Depew will not get home as soon as
he expected. For the first time since he be-
gan his yearly excursions across the ocean
he took return passage in a steamship
which flies neither the American nor the
British flag. He is a passenger by the Kali
ser Wilhelm der Crosse, which is detained
at Southampton because of accident to her
machinery. The detention and, perhaps. the
price Of the ticket. will give Mr.. Depew a
new experience. The purser of the Kaiser
Wilhelm demanded of him $500 for the
stateroom he is to occupy price which
rather staggered Mr.. Depew. 1t Is about
four times as much as he ever paid for a

The Epicure's Paradise.

1t is our belief that in the United
States the region around the Chesa-
peake bay probably produces more
good things to eat than any other
upon Gods footstool. The shellfsh
of the Chesapeake bay, the Lynn
Haven and Cherrystone oysters, the
salt water fish which swarm in the
waters of the Chesapeake, the fresh
water fish which swim in the Sus-
quehanna and other rivers which
run into that magnificent sheet of
water, the diamond back terrapin of
the Chesapeake marshes, the wild
fowl that fly over those marshes,
the canvasbacks that regale them
selves upon the wild cele-y in the
ponds along the Chesapeake shore,
the plump and yellow legged chick
ems raised by the farmers wives on
both sides of that bay, the luscious
peaches and other fruits found in
Delaware and Maryland, the tooth

kongo Cannibals.

Livingstone was slow to believe
that cannibalism prevailed to any
extent in the Kongo regions. Cap
tain Hinde found it widely preva-
lent. He says in his book, 1.-The
Fall of the Kongo Arabs $50 far
as / have been able to discover,
nearly all the tribes in the Kongo
basin either are or have been canni-
balls, and among some of them the
practice is on the increase. :" In
some districts regular traffic in
human flesh was carried on, and to
such an extent that the Europeans
did not venture to buy flesh offered
in the market, especially when
smoked. 1t would appear that not
only captives of low rank are re-
served for this fate. The chief Mo-
hara, who fell fighting with the
Arab force under Tippu Tib's son
Sefu, seems to have been disposed
of in this way. So, at least, we con-
cludo from the Seply OF some OF his
rivals people: "Oh, we know all
about Mohara! We ate him the day
before yesterday. y

SOMEHOW OR OTHER.

Life has q burden for every ones shoulder.
None may escape from its trouble and care.
Miss it in youth, and twill come when we're
older
And fit rs as close as the garments we wear.
Sorrow comes into our homes unlimited,
Robbing our hearts of its treasures of song;
Lovers grow cold, and our friendships are
sighted.
Yet somehow OF other we worry along.
Midst tAe sweet blossoms that smile in our
faces
Grow the rank weeds that would poison and
blight,
And e'er in the midst of earth's beautiful
There always is something that isn't quite
right.
Yet oft from rock we may pluck gay flower
And drink from u spring in {. desolate waste.
They come to the heart like a heavenly dover.
And naught is so sweet to the eye or the
taste.
Everyday toll is everyday blessing
Though poverty's cottage and crust we may
share.
Weak is the back on which burdens are press
ing
But stout is the heart that is strengthened
by prayer.
Somehow or other the pathway grows brighter
Dust when we mourn there was none to be-
friend.
Hope in the heart makes the burden grow
lighter,
And somehow or other We get to the end

The Giraffe's Drink.

"If were going to give word of
advice to young man just embark
ing in the show business, said the
old circus man, II should say never
let a giraffe drink out of pond or
a stream, because he's almost cer-
tain to drink foo much. You see,
the giraffe doesn' really realize that
he's drinking until he begins to take
the water into his stomach, and he
doesn't stop drinking until he's got
enough there. The result of this is
that his neck is still full, long col
umn of water that he doesn't need,
but that he takes in just the same
and often with disastrous results.
have known many giraffe to kill
himself by drinking too much, and
feel that l cannot do my young
and ambitious friends Il greater
service than 10y warming them of
this characteristic. The giraffe
should be watered invariably from

The Old Lyceum System.

During long period, says Colonel
T. w. Higsinson in The Atlantic, I
lectured q great deal in what were
then called Lyceum courses, which
stretched over the northern half of
the United States 40 years ago to an
extent now hardly conceivable.
There were two OF three large or
ganizations or bureaus which under
took Systematically the task of
bringing speaker and audience to-
gether with the least possible in
convenience to both. One of these,
whose center was Dubuque, Ia, ne
gotiated in 1862 for 35 lecturers and
10 lecture courses, undertaking to
distribute the one with perfect pre-
cision and to supply the other. AS
result the lecturer left home with
a circular in his pocket, assigning
his dozen OF his hundred engage
ments, as the case might be. Many
of these might be in towns of which
he had never heard the names. No
matter, he was sure that they would
be there, posted a days journey
apart, and all ready to receive him.
AS rule he would meet in each
new place what looked like the same
audience, would make the same
points in his lecture as before, would
sleep at what seemed the same hotel
and breakfast on the same tough
beefsteak. He would receive the
usual compliments, if any, and make
the same courteous reply to the ac-
customed questions as to the acous-
tics of the hall and the intelligence
of the audience. In the far west he
would perhaps reach villages where,
as the people came 20 miles for their
entertainments, a dance might Le

The Art and Mystery of Driving Hog.

Tho Art and Mystery of Driving Hog.
The difficulty of driving single
hog was well illustrated at the foot
of Ninth street one afternoon. Some
men were driving a herd of swine to
Amherst, and as they approached
the bridge one of the animals be-
came obstreperous and holted TO-
ward the city, becoming thereby
separated from the rest of the drove.
The three or four men, assisted by
volunteers, placed themselves be-
tween the city and the rebellious
hog in Il semicircle, while one OF
their number advanced cautiously
and began to tickle the hogs nose
with Il pine brush. This would make
the animal turn round, and each
time he did so he would move few
steps toward the bridge and the rest
of the drove. The maneuvers were
watched with Il great deal OF inter-
est by Il large crowd of spectators,
and when finally the wayward one
returned to the bosom of the drove
very audible murmur OF admlra-
ton went up from the crowd

The Right Man For the Place, out He
Served Only One Day.
Thousands of young men and wo-
men in this country are annually
preparing themselves for the voca"
tion of schoolteacher, but there is q
shipmaster in this port who tells a
good story of how, when he was in
a Florida port, he concluded he
would accept school that was Of
fered him and quit the sea.
81 was in Pensacola, Fla, during
the winter of 1876" said Captain
Blank, with the English bark De::,-
ter. AS I had As lay days and the
charterers told me they would not
begin to load the ship for nearly 6;
month I concluded I would take
quarters ashore and enjoy mysele
hunting and fishing. One day, while
I was in Milton, a small village
about ten miles from Pensacola, l
met planter, who made me very
fattering offer to teach private
school in his district, some 20 miles
north of Milton. AS the salary he
offered me was nearly three times
as much as I was getting Iconcluded
/ would accept it. So that night I
drove out with him to his place, and
next morning I was introduced to
my scholars. You never saw such
lot of children in your life-boys
and girls from 10 to % years of age,
and as untamed as hurricane in
the Indian ocean. The planter had
been gone about FIVE minutes when
the fun began, and from that time
till the noon recess these pupils had
lots of fun.
"When school reassembled in the
afternoon, a big, redheaded lad start
ed the circus by hitting me square
in the face with q spitball and there
by raising storm. / went outside
and got couple of good sized clubs,
and when I came in I locked the
door, took off my coat and started
in. Within five minutes they were
cowed. You never in all your life
saw such set of badly whipped
boys and girls, for I was SO excited,
once I got started on them, that any
head was good enough for me to
hit, and about the only thing l felt
sorry for 90 years afterward was the
language I used, for talked pretty
much as would on the quarter deck
of a ship to mutinous crew. After
I had thoroughly beaten the cubs ]
struck for Pensacola as fast as my
legs would carry me, as ] was sure
the planters would murder me if
they caught me after giving the
children such a trouncing, but let
ter received from the man who en-
gagged me convinced me that, instead
of doing me an injury, / could have
had anything / wanted. This is the
letter received:
'sMlLToN, Fla, Jan. 15, 1876.
"DEAR CAPTAIN 8LANK-Incloscd is $50, your

30 teachers, not one Of whom was able to han
die our boys and girls for a week, but tho
