been posted, sentinels were placed
at the doors Of the cafes, and the
soldiers could only obtain rofresh-
ments by permission.
To avoid scandals and scenes, the
American generals had decreed that
the drinking establishments should
be nlosed, 40 that tbs soldiors should
not drink alcohol. Il
VIEWS ABOUT SURGEONS. t>
Among the volunteers, as is
known, wore some Of tho representa-
tiyes Of the highest families in the
United States and come millionaires.
There were some medical volun-
teers, who,, together with the Red
Cross Society, were at Santiago at
the disposition of the Spanish sold
iers. There were also some ladies,
and young ladies, elegantly dressed,
and who were devoting themselves
to the cares of nursing the wounded
and sick, from highest to lowest.
Religion being free, there wore
entire battalions of Roman Catholics
and on Sundays they went to mass
at Santiago. ~. ......
The doctors we're exceedingly we'll
paid, receiving as much as $4O0 per
month. But in this there is exag-
geration.
The generals convey their orders
in the simplest possible hammer, and
they are obeyed with mathematical
rapidity.
The sanitary train is excellent, and
for the transport of tho repatriated
(Spaniards) from the hospitals out
side the walls the Americans gave all
their ambulance coaches, which are
very well equipped and drawn by
six mules, with automatic brake, and
driven by one man.
WHISTLE AS THEY FIGHT.
The regular army always fight in
the vanguard. In marching they
60 whistling or singing.
From the moment they reach San
tiago they never missed moment
in practicing with arms and drilling.
Their infantry is very we'll in
structed, and ono of their battalions
distinguished itself by the extreme
rapidity with which it dug and
formed trenches. -.~.-..--.--
Their activity is so great that they
have not occupied place more than
half an hour before they have it for
tilted. Of cavalry there is little.
Tho mounts arc poor.
1t must be remembered that tile
above arc not expert opinions, but a
number of impressions taken from
many mouths and from the soldiers
as they arrived.

JOHN BROWNS LAST LETTER
Written to Cousin Short Time BE.
fore His Execution.
fSt. Louis Globo-DcmOCrat.1

The. following unpublished letter
from the pen of the great liborator,
John Brown, will be of unusual in
terost. The letter was written to an
old friend and relative, the Rev. Lu-
ther Humphreys, of Windham, O., a
short time before his execution and
while Brown was under sentence of
death. The letter follows:
Charlestown, Jefferson County,
Va, November 13, 1S59.-The Rev.
Luther Humphreys, Windham, o.:
My Dear Friend-Your kind
of August 20 is now before me. So
far as my knowledge goes as to our
mutual kindred, suppose am the
first since the landing of Peter
Brown from the Mayhower that has
either been sentenced to imprison-
ment or to the gallows. But, my
dear friend, let not that fact grievo
you. You cannot have forgotten
how and where our grandfather
(Capt. John Brown) fell in 1776, and
that he, too, might have perished on
the scaffold had circumstances been
but very little different. The fact
that the man dies, under the hand of
the exccutioner or otherwise, has but
little to do with his true character.
Dohn Rogers, a great and good
man, AZ [ suppose, perished at the
stake, but his doing 80 does not
prove that any other man who died
in the same way was good or other
wise. Whether I have any reason
to be of good cheer or net in view
of my end, | can assure you that I
feel 80, and that I am totally blinded
if do not really experience that
strengthening and consolation you 80
faithfully implore in my behalf. The
God of our fathers reward your fidel-
ity. | neither feel mortified, de-
graded nor in the least ashamed of
my imprisonment, my chain, nor my
near prospect of death by hanging.
I feel assured that not one hair shall
fall from head with out the will of
my heavenly Father. | also feel that
l have long been endeavoring to
hold exactly such fast as God had
chosen. See tho passage in Isaiah,
which you have quoted. No part of
my life has been moro happily spent
than [ have spent here, and l humbly
trust that no part has been spent to
better purpose. I would not say
this hesitatingly, but thanks be unto
God, who givith us tho victory,
through infinite grace.
az should DO sixty years old were
l to live until May 8, 1860. I have
enjoyed much of life as it is, and
have been remarkably prosperous,
having early learned to regard tho
welfare and prosperity of others as
my own. have never, since I can
remember, required great amount
of alccir>, SO that I conclude that |
have already enjoyed an average
number of walking hours as those
who reach their thrce-score years
and ten. l have not as yet been
driven to the use of glasses, but can
see to read and write quite comforta-
bly,. More than that, I have gene
rally enjoyed remarkably good health.

bered and unmerited blessings,
among which would be somo very

A little girl who had been for a
piano lesson told her mother on her
return that her teacher was not all
nice to her. "Why, what did he do ?''
said the mother. "ITe asked me
right in the middle of my lesson how
mary turnips there were in a bushel !''
When the child wont for her next
lesson she was accompanied by her
mother, who said to the teacher,
"Why did you ask Nellie how many
turnips there were in a bushel2" "I
never asked her such a question" ="
replied the surprised teacher. But
he added, after moments reflection,
"l did ask her how many beats there
were in measure"
