health and strength.

And what of their discipline? These great big, athletic officers, you say to yourself, and these great, big athletes of the rank and file, are all very well individually splendid felows-but what of them collec- lively? Isn't their discipline rather lax? Each man you notice seems to wear his hat at an angle which suits his fancy or fits in with his comfort. As they go about town each man seems to walk with the stride which suits his habit and the &C., commodation of his own legs. The drill sergeant does not seem to have accom- plished his customary uniformity. Each man-and to the European eye it seems so strange as to be almost ludicrous-each man seems actually to retain something of his own individuality. Every man seems to retain, as we'll as his individuality, his own intelligence. That, to the European view, seems almost horrible.
 How, you wonder, can an officer exercise complete command over an aggregation of separate individualities?

JosEPHTNE's CHILDHOOD.

The childhood of Marie-Joseph-Hose Tascher de La Pagerie-which formidable appellation was soon abbreviated to Jose- phine-was one calculated to enhance those physical charms for which she was always noted. The great house" in which her
 father lived, was built on terrace or one of tba ereat hills overlooking Fort De France bay On this hillside, surrounded bv all the beautiful foliage of the tropical island, Josephine became the empress Of a domain comprising her fathers estate ana all the slaves that dwet thereon while she

THIS Is AMERICA

From the New York Sun.
 From the Hon. Hoke Smiths Atlanta Journal we derive these satisfactory and stimulating sentiments:
 I've of course undertake new responsi- bilities and may incur some new dangers, but the faith in our country is weak in- deed which doubts that we cope sue cessfully with these.
 "Is is "a condition. and not theory that confronts us. Territorial extension on large scale is for us foreordained What ever we may have thought of the wisdom of this policy, the practical and patriotic thing now is to accept it cheerfully and to strive to make the best of it.
 "Objections to territorial extension which had force some years ago have been over come by changed conditions"
 This is the Americanism of the new south not the political new south which the Hon. Grover Cleveland tried to create, some years ago, with the help of the Hon. Hoke Smith, but the national new south which events are now creating, with the help of the Hon. Hoke Smith and other southern patriots, and in spite of the last struggles of dying Clevelandism.
 Contrast this patriotic teaching with the dismal utterapces of the Hon. Hoke Smiths former principal in his address two or three weeks ago to the boys at Law renceville, N. J.
 Mr. Cleveland apparently has as little influence with the former members of his cabinet as with the young Americans at Lawrenceville.
 We present to the Hon. Hoke Smith the assurance of our most distinguished consid- eration. He is no death mask. He is in partnership with no death mask. He knows . condition from theory.

The Vesuvius is a Bird.

The Vesuvius has been in the in
ner harbor of Santiago, even beyond
the MerrrimaC wreck, going in on
one side and returning on the other.
The Captain of the Vesuvius reports
that there is plenty of room for the
largest war ships to pass on either
side, and this fact makes 1t better
for Sampson, as in his attack on
Santiago, he can take two ships
abreast and make the assault on
Cervera's fleet more effective.
There was other important facts
gathered by the Vesuylus which
will aid our soldiers both on land
and sea in the coming assault.

Stuart of the Courier that he has
no ill feeling toward him or his
foundry and what he has written
was all meant in fun. We had no
idea when we called attention to
the fable of the "kettIe and the

himself as to throw aside the lessons
he had learned at Sunday School,
and clear his decks for action.
Neither did we know that he had a
gun of as large calibre as he poked
through his Office door this
morning and hurled his missiles at
our pon-offending head As the
Courier gunner made Spanish

posed to kick and play wounded
