''The bucksaw in any mind" said the
middle-aged man, "is indelibly associ-
ated with q sawbuck-the reach be-
tween the two KS half sawed through,
where 1t had been scored by the saw
dropping down upon it-standing by a
wood pile in the back yard. There are
chips scattered around on the ground,
and scraps of bark and more or less
sawdust.
''What brings all of this to my mind
Is the sight of man saving wood
with q bucksaw on the deck of a
schooner lying at South street wharf,
a stick of cordwood resting in the saw
buck, and the man with his knee on it
and saving away just as he would
ashore. At first this looked strange;
and so 1t does still to same extent. l
had seen sawbucks and bucksaws on
the decks of canal boats, where they
looked natural enough, because the
canal boat is usually close by the land,
where one could step to or from it
easily; but could scarcely make the
bucksaw seem familiar on saltwater

TALLY thing of the land.
"Finally, did make 1t seem all
right on the schooner, though, by think
ing Of that as vessel making short
voyages and keeping near land, and
hauling up, maybe, in creeks, close by
the shore, and as being in various ways
intimately associated with the land;
but couldn't think of 1t as being used
at sea. But when I came to think 1t
over knew, Of course, they must have
some way Of saving wood aboard deep
water ships, and when came to in
quire I learned that the bucksaw Is
used af1oat just as it is ashore; 1t is
piled on a ship 1000 miles at sea just
as it would be on a farm.'-New York

APPROACH TO SANTIAGO.
Residents Say Our Army Will Have Little
Trouble Reaching the City.

Residents of Santiago de Cuba and
the neighborhood who are at present So
journing in Jamaica, among the number
being several men connected with the
Juragua Mining company and its rail-
road, say that if the Americans think
the Spanish defenses between Santiago
and Baiquiri are strong they greatly
overestimate them. Any strength that
these defenses have has been added since
the outbreak of the war, and the facill-
ties that the Spaniards have had at their
command have not been sufficient To al
low them to strengthen them materially.
Most of the defenses consist OF nothing
more formidable than planks and earth.
and some of them are very old. They
could not withstand the fire OF an enemy
for any time
The men who gave this information
to the New York Sun added that the APP
proach to Santiago from the east Is easy
and there is en abundant supply OF eX-
cellent water along the route. The town
of Seboney is supplied with water
through four inch pipe. which leads
from the river, from which the Amer
leans can also draw their supply. The
country in that part of Cuba is healthy.

AN INCIDENT OF THE WAR.

Scene at a Popular Restaurant the Night
Before the Yankees Boys Sailed.
The evening before the Yankee sailed
away to the war an incident that was
full of the spirit Of the times, too, was
enacted in an uptown New York res
taurant. 1t is place that is generally
full to OVERLOOKING at the late supper
hour, and this evening every table was
occupied Every one was decorous and
proper, but the spirit of mischief was
evidently abroad and waited only al
excuse TO manifest itself.
Presently the excuse came with the
appearance of four young tars in ful!
United States navy regalia, with Yam
kee cap bands, and when it was re
membered that the Yankee was to
weigh anchor the following day they
became the center of observation and
interest. At one of the tables was g
party of four, whom the boys recognized
and walked across the room to greet.
As they stood for several minutes talk
ing every eye in the room was focused
upon them, and when the "Yanks'
turned TO go shook hands with the men
of their party and then stopped, each
and severally, and kissed the girls, the
place rang with a rousing cheer.
1t was rather disconcerting and the
tars blushed somewhat under the atten-
ton, but they were equal to the occa-
sion. They realized they were under fire
and the honor of the navy was at stake.
They accepted the challenge without
finching. Beginning with the next Ia
BILE in order, those four naval reserves
went the rounds of the room and kissed
every woman in it. There was no trou-
BILE about it either. Now and then an
escort was heard to grumble, but the
ladies made no demur, and every time
the salute was given the rest of the
house applauded vigorously. When they
finally departed, the diners rose in a
body, and wave Of handkerchiefs,
cheers and good wishes followed them
into the street, while the orchestra

different Spanish possessions which will
soon pass into the hands of Uncle Sam.
Bishop Andrews, the vice president of

of DIR. A. b. Leonard, senior correspond

mously adopted that the board appoint
a committee of five, (which shall have
power to confer with like committees
or representatives of other boards con-
corning the occupancy for missionary
effort of the islands named.
The preamble sets forth that there
are "strong providential indications
that through the agency of the army
and navy of the United States the Phil

and Porto Rico will be open at an early
day to Protestant missionary endeavor, "
and the Methodist board has taken this
action that friction and unnecessary
expenditure of money may be avoided

FROM HOBSON'S MOTHER.
A Letter Telling of Her Pride In Him.
Her Hero Before the Nations.


This letter from the mother of Lieu
tenant Richmond p Hobson, the hero
of tine Merrimac exploit, has been re-
ceived by friend in New York:
GREENsnoRo, Ala, June IL.
DEAR -: Your letter of congratulations
reached me few days ago. fully appreciate
and agree with you in your enthusiastic trib-
ute to my boys heroism. In accomplishing
his daring achievement l realize he was guided
and protected by our kind Heavenly Father.
The appreciation of the country, his state and
native town is most gratifying to US all. 1t Is
but natural that my mother pride should be
pleased at the recognition Of my boy by the
nation and its rulers. Such recognition Is
very happy, but it has told us nothing new of
his grand worth. A nobler son no mother
ever had. He has been mighty tower Of
strength to me for years. Never forgetting
the many demands of large household, IT has
always been his pleasure 10 share his salary
with us. In every way he has been help and
a comfort. The three years he was studying
abroad there never failed TO come from him
the most loving letters, and his resources were
ever at our command. The gentlest noblest
nature with every attraction OF person and
character, he claims the admiration Of every
one who knows him. To MS, nearest and dear
est to him, it took no Santiago to proclaim
him hero. He has been TO u for SO long the
truest hero, as noble son and idolized brother.
The plaudits of the world are his, and, while
history will record the daring deed of his hero
ism, the gentler, sweeter, nobler beauty of his
nature can be known only TO those to whom
he is ''hrst best" go
1t may be that on Richmonds return / shall
be in New York, when 1 hope to see you. OF
course shall very eagerly share all the glores
that will be heaped upon my boy. Our own
state is preparing now to present him jewel
ed sword. 49, Affectionately yours,
