STAINS WAR AND CONQUEsTS.

Military Record of the Nation-Centur-
 Peninsula and Over the World.
 sWar is he'll" is the terse way that Gen. Sherman had of putting it, and, If history is true, Spain must be pretty well seasoned by this time, as "con- dition of war" has existed on that pen- insula ever since the sons of Japheth made it their abiding place, thousands of years before Christ.
 Of Spanish prowess at arms history Spanish successes. Tubal, son of Japheth, and his brothers, were chiefly noted for being slave traders and deal- CTS in brass in the markets of Tyre, so the commercial instinct being inherent in the Spanish people, it could not be expected of them to excel at arms. As s.scrappers," however, the most impar- tial history considers them easily the leaders. Abbott says: "The first glimpse we catch of Spain through the haze of past ages reveals to us the country inhabited by numerous bar barrie tribes, fiercely hostile to each other, and constantly engaged in bloody wars. The mountain fastnesses were infested by numerous hands, and rapine and violence everywhere reigned."
 The first real combat and history of Spain began at one and the same time, when the Phoeniians and Carthagin- ians made a raid on Spanish territory with 50,O00 men and and 200 elephants, intending to annex Spain to Carthage, which they proceeded to do after a good deal of bloodshed.
 It should be understood that Spanish territory was a valuable field to con- quer. Its silver mines were the richest in the then known world. From them the invading general, if successful, got silver enough to pay his armies and to

 The first part ended with the whole company singing ''Unchain the Dogs of War; each one waving a small American flag. The second part con- sisted of the usual monologue and mu- sical specialties. The stage was dec- orated with palms, behind which were draped a United States flag and a Gray banner. The ushers were in full dress uniform.
 After the entertainment the floor was cleared for dancing. It is need less to say that there was no merrier dance in the city.

A HEALTHY WIFE

Asicl1ly, half-dead-and-alive woman, especially when she is the mother Of family, is damper to all joyous ness in the home.
 If a woman finds that her energies are Tagging and that everything tires her, her sleep is disturbed by horrible dreams, and that she often wakes suddenly in the night with a feeling of suffocation and alarm, she must at once regain her strength.

SECOND TO MUSTER OUT.
Effort to Form New Regiment Aban-
dOned.

The men. OF the Second Georgia win in
all probability bid farewell to the service
this week. Col Brown and the officers
who have been delaying matters in Atlanta
have given up hope OF securing enough
men from the regiment to form a new
regiment in combination with men from
the First Regiment, who desired to re-
main in.
Col Brown was given until yesterday
morning by the war department TO deter
mine whether the Second Regiment would
be able 10 remain in the service under the
terms already stated The information
from Atlanta is that only 125 to $50 men of
the five companies in camp there were
wiling to remain. The final census of the
men IN Atlanta was delayed from day TO
day in hopes that more of them would re-
main in the service until a time
limit was fixed ~by the war department
AS only small number OF men from the
Savannah and Augusta companies were
willing to remain, the failure Of the COM
panles at Atlanta to come TO the scratch
put the reorganization of the regiment on
the proposed basis out of the question.
1t is expected that orders to begin mus
tering out will be received to-day or to-
morrow.
Capt. Trippe, who is the mastering out
last night that he had no orders or infor-
nation from Washington on the subject.
The order, when issued, he said, would
be directed to Capt. Fredericks, who is
now engaged in mastering out the First
Regiment in Macon. who will then notify
him of the orders received.
An Atlanta dispatch to the Morn
Ing News says that Col. Brown
announced yesterday morning, after
having made up the rolls showing
the number of men who desired to remain
in the service, that the regiment would be
dlsbanded. The proportion of those who
were willing to do further service was so
small as to render the plan of consolidation
with the First Regiment, and thus obtain
a new regiment, impossible. Hence, the
First Regiment will also be mustered out.
II has been week since the regiment was
reassembled for the purpose of mastering
out, and the vote Of the men has been de-
layed that long, though the officers claim
by no fault or influence of theirs.
1t was charged by some of the men that
the officers were delaying the vote so az
10 bring influence to bear among the men
and secure enough of them to make up the
new regiment, but the officers in Atlanta
deny this, and say that the delay has been
occasioned by the war department and the
failure of a mastering officer to arrive up
on the scene. The mastering officer has
not yet arrived in Atlanta, and it will be
Monday at the earliest before the five COM
panies stationed at Piedmont Park are
lined up for dismissal. The task Of mus
tering out will take as long as that of mus
tering in, as the same examinations will
be gone through with so as to keep down
pension claims.
Before being given command of the Sec
ond Regiment. col. Brown was detailed
as assistant adjutant general of the state,
but is not thought that he will return to
this duty. 1t is likely that he will con-
tinue in active service, probably being
sent to join his regiment in the First Cav
