some extent, but had hardly got time
to start when we arrived on the scene
and all was changed. Remember
the Maine and to h with Spain" is
our cry. l trus: ere long we shall re-
turn home to old friends. We left the
city of Yonco last night and arrived
back here at Ponce few hours later,
whore we all received our mail and a
happier set of boys yog never saw.
The first thing was to read our mail,
which we did with pleasure, for if ever
a letter was read with eagerness and
joy, it is in such place as this, and
to all my friends | will say this; / will
gladly answer all letters l can if they
enclose a stamp for reply, as | have
seen no money since my enlistment and
no way of getting any as it is almost
impossible for the paymaster to keep
up with US, as we are scattered out in
the mountains so much. | would not
ask this only l can not get the stamps
to mail them with. l have also been
asked what presents are useful to a
soldier from friends at home. This |
will say, if you have friend or rela-
tive in the army and want to make
him present which is useful to him
the following will be a pretty good
list or enough to give you an idea OF
what he would need most: postage
stamps, daily papers, pocket knives,
pocket combs, handkerchiefs, thread,
buttons, pins, needles, small pocket
purses, which are made out OF oil
cloth, for some of these articles are
often received from the best girl, as is
ter or mother; some are fancy, while
the most of them are plain, yet the
most useful of all. Well, | must close
for this time, by saying that l am still
in the best of health and perfectly con-
tented with all my surroundings and
my place and treatment. Have made
friends every where l have gone. You
can almost make carrier pigeons out of
the mosquitoes down here, they are SO
large, and this is just about the hottest
place l eyer saw. With no exceptions.
1t is no trick to fry steak or eggs, or
bake beans out in the sun. | am al
most as black as the natives from the
heat. | guess I'll have to belong to
the other race of people when | come
back, if l stay down here long. My
regards to all friends.

Daisy E., nine year old daughter OF

lingering illness. quietly passed from
earth to the realms of eternal rest on
the morning of July 9th. 1898, leaving
father, mother and number of rela-
tives to mourn her loss.
She was an intelligent. loving child.
but God in His infinite mercy saw fit
to call her, in early childhood, from
the troublous scenes of this life to one
of eternal peace and happiness in the
heavenly Canaan, and she now dwells
in the presence OF him who once said
of such little ones, Their angels do
always behold the face of my Father
which is in Heaven
The remains were inferred IN the
Des Arc cemetery, Sunday evening,
July 10Th.
May God bless the stricken ones and
help them to SO live that they may
meet little Daisy, Some sweet day,
by and by"
God sent his holy angel,
To take our little flower;
She was too pure and innocent
For this dark world of ours.
She stands before the Savior now
So loving and SO bright;
Wearing crown OF purest gold,
And rolled in spotless white.
A FRIEND.

A Mother.

Up at che menagerie in Centred Park
q big mother lion had just had three
baby lions. She was greatly charmed.
The keeper, III order that the babies
might have q quiet time, built 6 box
in the corner Of the lion cage with a
hole in the side. For u few days the
baby lions stayed in the box; but at
last they decided that that was very
stupid, and they spent their time run
ming in and out Of the hole in the box.
This distressed their mother, for the
constant friction of their pretty soft
coats against the side of the box wore
their fur off; and, like all mothers,
Mother Lion vas very anxious that
her babies should always look pretty.
1t was evident to those who watched
her that she meant to put a stop to
this destructive habit. One day last
week she lay with her eyes half
closed not far from the opening Of the
box. The trouble was hat the three
babies were never inside of the box at
the same time. There was always n
outside, and this was the mothers
problem. While she lay there, appa-
rca:!y half nsleen,-.he hnbies rushed
in and out, playing tag. At one ex-
citing m all three were in the
box at thr Same mOmcnt md thu
mother lion sprang quickly in front Of
it and closed the hole with her back.

peace on her face. slowly waggcd her

which We found in abundance. We
returned to her fathers late in the
evening, and spent the night.

A Romance OF Law.

Driven from home by the iron hand
of the law.
Fifteen years ago j.. p. Corbett, a
young boy living in Sumter County,
was compelled to leave the State to
save himself from serving a sentence
in the State penal institution.
Allowed to return through the
mercy Of the law.
Truly the law is Janus like. Evil
it frowns upon with a fierce face, but.
crime cXpiatcd, it burns Il smiling face
and allows the pcrpctrator under GER
ia'n circumstances to again hold up
~ head IN the world. Yesterday
Corbctt was permitted to return to
South Carolina, the sentence against
him having been wiped out by a par
don from the governor.
The rather romantic circumstances
IN the case are as follows:
Twelve years 20, in 1856. Corbctt,
then a lad of but fifteen years, was
running a small store on his fathers
place in Sumter County. At an un-
guarded momcnt he permitted himself
to engage in the sale Of whiskcy and
was arrested on the charge. His
father declined to interfere in his be-
half, SO angercd vas he at his sons
violation Of the law, and, to escape
punishment, the boy ran away. In
his absence the case was tried before
Judge Kcrshaw and a sealed sentence
lodged against him.
He first located in Colorado, where
he engage. in business quite success
fully. Later he moved to California.
where he met with continued success.
So exemplary was his conduct hat he
was regarded as one Of the best citi-
zens in his community. He was elect
ed a deacon in the Presbyterian
Church. He proved worthy of many
trusts imposed upon him.
The sequel is very pretty. His pa
rents, their hearts turning fondly to-
ward their boy in their declining years,
longed to see him once again and to
bless and forgive him and to breathe
their lives anew in the joyousness Of
his presence. Accordingly a petition,
signed almost unanimously by the
people Of the district, was forwarded
his excellcncy Gov. Ellerbe and re-
ceived by him yesterday through Col.
ID. z. Duncan. AS soon as the gcver-
nor became acquainted with the true
inwardness of the case, he removed
that restraint and permitted that
mcther's boy to come home again,
honored and not despised, a citizen
and not q criminal, to receive her
blessing and a fathers benediction.--
