Mrs. CHARLOTTE SMITH says bicycle
riding for women is unfeminine and
highly Objectionable, but she demands
that the government shall at once en-
list fifty thousand women to fight
against Spain. There is no doubt of
the fact that if so many women could
be found for such a service they would
be most effective soldiers, for the first
glance at those who would face such a
force would be sufficient to put most
men to flight.

A DISPATCH from Lisbon states that
twenty odd sailors deserted from the u.
S. warships recently lying there, all OF
whom are Spaniards. The shipping
and navigation laws of this country are
such that the ports thereof, from which
in former times any required number
of American seaman could be obtained
on short notice, are now bare OF them,
and foreigners compose large part of
the crews of all American ships, and
even U. S. naval vessels are manned in
large part by negroes and people from
other countries who have no particular
affection for the flag that flies over
them.

Of General Miles his reason for chain
ing President Jefferson Davis, an old,
sick and enfeebled man, to the floor OF
a casemate in trebly guarded fortress,
with the eye OF a guard continually
upon him, he said she had directed
anklets to be put upon his ankles which
would not interfere with his walking,
but would prohibit his running away"
Afterwards when somebody had told
him of the enormity of his offense, he
said he had been instructed to chain
his prisoner by the Assistant Secretary
OF War. And yet Southern congress.
men have voted to revive the rank OF
lieutenant general in order to confer it
upon this same General Miles.
