this necessity OF life to the homes of thou

they become clogged up disease germs will
develop and the system be attacked by disease.

Public Opinion i'm SDain.

The London Standards correspondent at
Madrid writes that to understand the pres
ent temper of the Spanish people it must
lie borne in mind that the press and Coy
eminent have encouraged them to believe
that their navy could easily compete in a
first brush with that of the United States.
They have been led to suppose that their
military organization i'm Cuba and Porto
Rico could undertake to punish severely any
aggression from the small Regular forces
and poorly organized militia of America.
They have been persuaded that the home
coasts and ports have nothing to fear, as
the reserves can be called out and the
coast guarded without difficulty. and they
put much confidence in the idea of sending
privateers to raid the American coasting
fleets.
These optimistic vieTs are not shared by
high political and professional circles
where grave approximations exist regarding
Spanish trade, communication with the
colonies, and the dispatch of relief pro-
visions, especially, for the forces in Cuba,
that used to get most of their supplies from
the United States.

An Iowa Comrade Tells a "Reminiscences of
the Nick,burs Campaign.

]
Editor National Tribune. On the evening
of May Is, 1868, the 30th Iowa passed
through Raymond. the County seat of Kinds
| County, Miss. The town seemed to be
located on a gentle ACTIVITY, and as we
marched along the female citizens and a
few old men were in their little dooryards
| gazing at the blue coated procession. i
did not see an ablebodied male person in
the whole length of the place. ! presume
| they were all absent.
We halted and went into camp short
+, distance out of town, on the jackson road.
Unfortunately rationS were scarce. SO that
supper was short affair, both in the get
ting and in the eating. However, we felt
comfortable when we retired for the night.
But our comfort was brought to q sud
den end by an exceedingly heavy down
pour of rain. 1t dampened our clothes
through and through. Having swallowed
our morning half dozen bites, we continued
on our way, being informed that it was the
design for the two divisions OF the IN
teenth Corps (Steele's and Tuttle's to
visit Jackson. the Capital of the State.
Other divisions also were en- route Tor the
same town.
After marching a few miles we were
halted in an open field to dry our guns.
This was accomplished by swapping caps
on the tubes. While thus occupied--and
the swapping sounded like a thousand
sl>ilIets of good popcorn going off at once
Gen. Grant and his staff rode into the
field
That's right, men," said he; dry your
guns The party dismounted. The Cen
eral was smoking a cigar, and seemed IN
a brown study. Presently, without word,
that could hear, he mounted and galloped
on and out at the farther side OF the field.
Then there was hurrying on the part OF
that staff. As fast as each one threw his
leg over the saddle he lit out, as 1t were,
as hard and fast as he could go.
We followed at a very respectable pace.
A little farther, and we heard artillery. 1t
was off in the direction whittier we were
going.
