If you went to war in the sixties you had small ailments to battle with, but in this spanish-Amerlcan war you have not only a foreign foe but foreign disease. Typhus fever, that scourge which so seldom passes cur quarantine, now rages in the island of Cuba, and Cholera is an all-the-year-round i'll. mallpox is as plentiful in Cuba as Is measles in the United States and it is not infrequent to find family in which ty- phus, smallpox and cholera are all three at work.
 The rainy season is now on and the con- ditions which generate these diseases are magnified and multiplied a hundred-fold When the spaniards asked for sixty-day

Robert E. Lee Wore No Sword
m the Washington Star.

From the Wash1ngton Star
 "It is a remarkable fact said a distin- guished ex-Confederate, that General Lee never wore ar sword during the war or any weapon and he never buckled on sword until the day of his surrender, and then as an act of courtesy to General Grant and as proper for the occasion, when trems of surrender were being agreed upon. Gen. eral Lee did not expect to surrender his sword to Grant, because by the terms of surrender, all officers were to retain their

Accidentally Killed.

Judge j. S. Wood received a letter
yesterday from Fl. Pendergrass, dated
Crittenden, August Is, in which the
writer states that Sam G. Moss was ac-
cidentally killed on Thursday and that
he (PendergIass) had communicated
with relatives of Moss with a view to
administering upon the estate OF de-
ceased. 1t would appear from the in
ventory that Moss had been possessed
of mules and teams to the value OF
$1,000.
This fact would give color to the idea
that Moss was freighter on the Crit
tenden, Harshaw and Washington Camp
route, but nothing in the letter throws
light upon the cause which led to the
sudden taking off of Moss. The great
register does not show the name of S.
G. Moss and well informed persons liv-
ing here do not possess any knowledge
of the man, his antecedents or the char
acter of work he conducted.
1t was learned later that Moss was
dragged by an animal, and being un-
able to extricate himself, his death re-
suited Tucson Star.

HIT BY THREE BULLETS.
Captain McCiintock's Leg in a Big
Wooden Box.

When the news came that several of
Arizona's wounded soldiers had reached
the vicinity of New York, after their
fierce battles in Cuba, City Recorder
Jobs, among others, wrote to his family
in New Jersey to look up the sufferers
and do what was possible for their en-
couragement. The Republican pub
fishes the following letter which be ro-
ceived:
'Captain McClintock was awfully
glad to see us and you would think he
had always known US instead of meet
ing US under those unusual circum-
stances for the first time. His leg had
three bullets through it and the holes
are still open. For thirty-six hours he
lay on the battlefield and he says only
God knew what he suffered. In that
engagement there we're 1000 Spauiards
and 900 of our men. His leg is done up
now in a great wooden case and he has
to lie right still all the time, but he is
so brave and cheerful and all the at
tendants in the hospital think great
deal of him. [ am sure 1 don't know
how long he will be there, for the leg
has not commenced to heal yet.

.'All we have to regret is our inability
to get to the front. To my dying day
the recollection of that disappointment
will rankle, and there are hundreds who
feel the same way. We do not blame
anybody in particular. 1t was just our
hard luck. We have been told that we
can go down to Cuba with the army of
occupation, but there is no solace in
that. Some of us have given up posi-
tions paying as high as $4,000, and We
went from motives of patriotism. We
went to fight, but fate was against US
and now we will go back as quick as
we can to our private business. Excuse
us from the army of occupation. Few
of the volunteers will willingly go with

One of our exchanges gets off the fol-

ried and the bride invited an old aunt
to the wedding. The cards were swell

scanning it closely over her specs, the
old lady said: "That's all right, but

eler, II cannot stay out in the rain,
can't you let me stay some way?" The
landlord scratched his head and then
replied: ''Well, there is room up
stairs with two beds in it, with a cur
tain between, there Is lady in the
north bed, but the curtain will answer
the purpose of double room, maybe. I"
"Oh, thanks" replied the traveller, as
he picked up his grip and started up
stairs. The landlord showed him his
bed and bade him goodnight and went
down stairs. Pretty soon down came
the fellow with his shoes in his hands,
collar and necktie ditto, and his hair
standing on end. "Why-why-why-

About the most disgusted men who

because they were assured that they

cAWDOR CASTLE.

How Macbeth, who Pounded It, Hap
 pened to Select Its Site.
 The late Earl of Cawdor was the owner of two charming residences in wales-Stackpole Court, Pembroke shire, where he died, and Golden Grove, Carmarthenshire-b thess were mere pleasure houses by compar4. son with the ancestral home of the Campbells, Cawdor castle at Nairn- This fine north British dwelling re- mained almost undistuTbed from the death of Sir Hugh Campbell in 1716 for a period of nearly 150 years. when it was conscientiously restored by its late owner. Cawdor castle itself had its rise in a fierce and wild age. around which traditions of a hazy nature clus- ter. It is @ legend in Nairn that the murder by Macbeth was committed in an old chamber of the castle tower. and visitors wishing to conduct them selves with gravity and respectful rever- ence are expected to receive this story with an expression of solemnity not un- tineed with awe. That the "silver skim of King Duncan was ''laced with his golden blood'' in this particular apartment is a fable that need not now be enlarged upon.
 Cawdor castle by its outward aspect is, however, strongly suggestive in it's gaunt and minatory massiveness of the fierce and troublous times of the ambi- tious Macbeth. The story goes that the thane who founded it was much con- cerned about the choice of an abode and was warned in a dream to place his worldly wealth in a coffer and to bind it upon the back of an ass and wher- ever the animal should halt to set about his work. The ass "came to 8 sandstill at the russetburn at the third hawthorn from the starting point" and lay down. Cautiously enough, as if to confirm this tradition, to this day in the dungeon beneath the tower a haw- thorn grows. The other two trees have disappeared, the last one as lately as 1886. Many stirring tales are told ot the later history of Cawdor castle, which came to be left untenanted fol long years owing to the Campbells de- parting for Wales, where they married young ladies with ample fortunes St. James Gazette.

 A very good story is told of the head of 0 college wEo was the possessor of 8 very clumsy, old fashioned vehicle to which he was very partial and which he constantly used ill riding through the streets of the town, to the disgust of most of the students.
 A plan was formed among some of the boys that on a certain night they would remove this offensive vehicle from the coachhouse to a wood about half mile from the college. Their in tention was to run the carriage into the khickest of the woods and underbrush and leave it there.
 But the principal by some means learned or suspected their intention.
 Accordingly, in the evening, he quietly went out to the coachhouse, and, we'll wrapped up, crouched in c corner of the carriage and waited
 Soon the boys came, very stealthily, and, without looking into the vehicle, began their operations very quietly, and in whispers, and with many "Hush" |" and "Take care" and Look out" they succeeded 1n getting 1t out or the house and yard and into the road.
 There they were all right. but they were puzzled to find the thing so heavy to haul, and amid grumblings and puff ings and paintings, varied occasionally with a strong expression of disgust, they succeeded in reaching the woods, the principal listening to their complaints and rather enjoying the situation.
 Having with some difficulty backed the carriage into the brush, they began to congratulate each other on the suc- cess of their maneuver. The old gentle man, letting down the window, to their utter surprise and alarm, very quietly said:
 "Now, young gentlemen, just take me back very carefully, if you please. |" Spare Moments.

A Novelty In Bells.

Herr Appunn of Hanau has invented bell of a new shape, which is said to have a very deep tone and to be as pow erful as considerably heavier bells of the form at present in vogue. The shape is peculiar, being hemispherical, while the metal is uniform in thickness ex- cept near the "sound bow" Cor the thickened tip which the clapper strikes). From the edge to some little distance above the sound bow the metal is very thick, and then alters suddenly to the uniform thickness which it has for the rest of the bell.-Invention. a
