-sargents portrait of Thomas B. Reed
is in some unaccountable way so unchar-
acteristic of the speaker as TO have dis
sipated some partisan animosity against
him. the Democrats regarding the portrait
as sufficient punishment. The likeness is
decidedly uncomplimentary.
A fact not generally known is that the
late James Payn was for some time lite
rary adviser in England to Baron Tau
chnitz of Leipzig, a position which gave
him great influence over the continental
fortunes of his fellow authors, though it
need perhaps hardly be said that Mr..
Payn's selection of new novels for inclu-
sion among the Tauchnitz edition of Brit
ish authors invariably showed good judg-
ment and fairness.
Marshall Mcdonald, who has just died
In ST. Louis, age "A years, was one of the
countrys greatest criminal lawyers. He
did not begin his career as a lawyer, but
was graduated from a Chicago school of
pharmacy, after which he studied medi-
cine, devoting himself particularly TO sur
gerry. This knowledge was >of immense
value to him later on in the trial of impor-
tant cases, where much expert medical
testimony was submitted.
Rev DIR. Swallow, independent candi-
date for Governor of Pennsylvania, pro-
poses to run on the platform, Thou shalt

ZIONIST as he did in his late brilliant cam
pagn for state treasurer, and he demands
that his followers form a practical politi-
cal organization Throughout the state. II
is evident that the doctor means business
as a candidate of the thou-shalt-not-steal
party. In view of what has been going on
at Harrisburg for some years, the Mosaic
plank is said to be pretty good politics.

A good many of those who are think
ing of volunteering for the war are say
ing that they do not wish to be treated as
regulars" The idea seems to be that in
the service a distinction will be made be-
tween the regulars and the volunteers. In
war, however, there is no distinction he
tween the two Glasses of soldiers, except
possibly that the regulars fare better he
cause their officers know better how TO
take care of them, and they know better
how to take care of themselves. As far
as "bossing' goes. the volunteer officers.
from corporal up to colonel, will be ex-
pected to maintain rigid discipline, not
withstanding the stripes or the straps
may be the only point Of superiority of the
officer over the soldier.

Gen. 'JOe" Wheeler, Late c. $. A.
From the New York Times Dem.).

Al things considered, his career was
perhaps the most distinguished in the cav
airy arm in the Confederate service. After
the battle of Shiloh he was placed in COM
mand of the cavalry of the West, and
performed constant, laborious and brilliant
service. His work was especially appre-
ciated by Gen. Sherman, to whom he was
opposed during the campaign that ended
in the capture of Atlanta. Gen. Sherman
is reported to have said after the close of
the war that if we ever had 10 fight a
foreign foe Gen Wheeler and Gen. Forrest
should have commands.
Since the close of the civil war Gen.
Wheeler has pursued a straightforward.
manly and patriotic course, which has
won for him the universal respect of his
associates in Congress. He has shown
there, as he did in the army, great intel
ligence and industry and thorough mas
terry of his work

In preparing soldiers for service in a
coast country, they should be sent to the
coast. All of the fighting that the volun-
reers will have TO do in this war will be
either in Cuba or along the coast of the
United States. There will be no fighting
in the interior. The Georgia troops should
lie rendezvoused at or near Savannah, not
in the higher attitudes of the interior.

The Florida Hill Country.

The majority Of our tourists carry
from this state an impression Of tropical
vegetation luXuriating in level eXpanse
of sand arched by a heaven intensely and
brilliantly blue. But that is because
they have not seen all we have to show.
Florida has ''hill country" also, and
seems to belong rather to Georgia than
to the land of oranges and winter vege-
tables.
The soil Of that section is entirely
distinct from that of the east and south.
There we have the red clay of Georgia,
and the pine gives place to the oak,
hickory and maple as the orange does to
the pear and the garden to the cotton
field
1t is the conservatism Of middle Flor
ida that has kept it unknown in great
measure to the outside world, not it's
lack of attractions. There are still
found much of the old plantation life,
the antebellum southern hospitality and
much of the thought Of the olden time.
To the tourist it will give new sensa-
ton, to the sportsman a new field. To
the settler who feels that the subtropic-
al productions of southern Florida are
too strange and new it offers field for
the crops of the west, it shows fine
stock and the diversified scenery for
lack of which he grows homesick with
US.
In all the south there is no section
more beautiful and none which offers
richer returns for intelligent industry
than the FLORIDA hill country. -

The Admiral In q Battle.

Writing of the perils of naval war
fare, Park Benjamin in The Independ-
ent says: AS for the admiral, there is
nowadays no rigging for him to ascend,
and he would be promptly blown out Of
it if there were. In fact, after fleet
engagement has begun there isno place
for him at all. He has no business in
the coming tower, no business at the
guns. He cannot very consistently go
below, and he cannot stay on deck. It
has been proposed to build separate
armored tower for him or to take him
off the flagship and put him on small,
swift vessel, 50 that he could choose his
position and conveniently give his or
ders by signals. The difficulty with this
would be that the enemy would concen-
trate his fire on that tower or ship, with
the certainty of sinking the latter and
rendering the former uninhabitable.
The problem, therefore, is still unsolved.

They tell the following in connec
ton with John Allison, the we'll known
Muhlenberg lawyer: John is very
much of wag, and on one occasion,
even when death was staring him in
the face, he could not repress his dis
position to be funny. He became i'll
at his home in Greenville with what
was supposed to be heart disease, and
a physician was hastily summoned.
When he arrived John was gasping
for breath, and his friends expected
him to die at any minute. When the
doctor asked him what was the mat
ter, he coolly replied, :'Doc, I have
an intimation that my case is about
to be called, and, if possible, I want
to get a continuance The doctor
went to work with him, and, contrary
to everybody's expectation, did get
John a continuance, and he is still
alive and practicing law in Greenville.

ON THE BIRTHDAY OF DoNIzETTl.


The Rome of Cesar crowned with bays
The heroes who increased her might,
The poet for his stately lays,
The soldier victor in the fight.
Today it has no fair confetti
To grace the tomb of Donizetti.
The critics long have lost the ear
Which found Rossini charmed and sweet.
Fen Verdi, in his early sphere,
Is almost always judged effete,
And all the skill of Donizetti
Is voted crude and alpha betty.
For Wagner's noisefu1 rule has come
And walked the world with blaring brass.
The tuba, trombone, horn and drum
Have silenced silver strings, alas!
And all his striGent strength makes petty
The dulcet airs of Donizetti
The Venusberg and all the gods
Or Lohengrin are now a-tour,
And no one thinks of laying odds
On Lucia di Lammermoor.'
We're told it's foolish and duetty,
This masterpiece of Donizetti.
The very schoolboy whistles DER
The intermezzo, note for note.
And Bizet's braggart toreador
Is daily heard from every throat,
But poor old Signor Donizetti
Is not piano-organetty.
IT'S ever thus. What prophet hath
The honor that is his by rightf
The oak today, tomorrowS lath,
And day must always turn to night.
But shall the darkness dour and jetty
Blot out our dainty Donizetti?

''Now,'' he said, ''let me tell you

He told her story after story of his
travel, all that was most amusing and
most commonplace. Her laughter and
her color returned, but at the end Of the
stories, when the silence came, she
abruptly said:

draw for her some of the faces that he

and shivered.

rushed away from him, covering in
