Awakening Of the Nation.
On the bosom Of peace lay the nation.
Her sword, In its scabbard Of gold.
Lay at her feet with Old Glory
Wrapped in its crimson fold
And the song Of the sea
And the lands industry
Had lulled her to sleep in its seeming.
Closed the eyes that had pierced the dim
future
And seen through the strife from afar,
The freedom we fought for and died for
The hope of our land-her sslode star
And the shadow OF strife
That has darkened her life
Was lost in that stars golden beaming.
The hands that had lifted the banner
Till It touched the bright dome Of the
sky
We're folded in peace on her bosom,
While her sons kept the watch close by.
After labor comes rest
To her passion-heaved breast.
But her sword in its scabbard Is cleaning.
Hark, meath the heel Of the tyrant
Comes voice that Is frenzied with pain;
A nation Is calling for succor.
Alasl will It call In vain?
But the deaf cannot hear,
Though angels be near
And the "Land Of the Flowers" Is dying.
Rouse ye, o stalwart young nationl
Fell the cry on her brave, tender heart
She sprang to her feet-from the scabbard
Flashed the sword-and never will part
The swokd from the hand
Nor the strife from the land, :.
Till the tyrant for mercy is cryingf

In thai beautiful isle of the sea;

Undaunted by danger, unconquered by
pain,
They came with the banner they bore,

Like Egypt upon the red shore.

And SPANS cruel empire that was, now ts

Proud Europe shall tremble to learn Of the

wither like reeds,
Swept away by fierce Liberty's storm.
But the Saxon shall stand in the land Of
his birth,
And his home Ger the wide rolling sea,
/ Giving freedom and justice and mercy to

While ages Of ages shall be.
And thou, our bright banner, 60 forth like

And the rainbow our message Of peace.

4 NOTABLE TOY4GE.

When the monitor Wyandotte went caped drowning it was quite feat, as the scared members of the Naval Re serve who went with her realized But the voyage of the monitor Monadnock was greater feat, or, at least, longer one. The letter of Secretary Long to Captain Whiting, of the monitor Mon adnock, conveying the warm praise of the department for the patriotism, courage and ability shown by the off, cers and men of that vessel in taking her to Manila, an ocean voyage of 7,000 miles, brings into prominence one of the hitherto unnoticed achievements of our navy during the war. In his own report of the voyage, Captain Whiting says that she is practically raft, with only sixteen inches free board as she was loaded for her remarkable voyage. The monitors were designed for coast and harbor defense vessels. It was never in- tended that they should be subjected to the trying conditions of long ocean voyage. particularly one across the wide Pacific. Yet the Monadnock, with only little over a foot of space be- tween her deck and the rolling sea, with limited coal accommodations and load ed to her extreme capacity, made a voyage of 1000 miles, consuming forty days, taking all the chances involved in an ocean journey under such unfav- orble conditions.
 Great work. The United States navy has shown itself able to keep it's own ships af1oat and to sink those of the enemy.

NEW BUSINESS FOE THE SOUTH.

When manufacturers of cotton goods ton grows it was easy to see that they would prosper. They have prospered and the cotton mills of New England have felt their prosperity. Now shrewd men are beginning to think that furni- ture-factories can prosper in the South. as well as cotton factories. The forest destruction in the North, and the South's abundance of woods suitable for furniture, are pointed out One man prominent in the great furniture industry in Grand Rapids, Michigan, foresees a change. On a recent trip to Mississippi in search of hard woods for the Michigan factories he said that the time was near at hand when these fac- tories would have to move South. They cannot afford, he says, to pay freight on lumber from the South in it's heavy, raw state, and then ship much of it back South as furniture, on which the freight is high, because of the liability to damage by breakage. And the ar gument follows that when some of the factories do go to the South they will be able to manufacture furniture so much cheaper than those which remain remote from the hard wood forests that the latter will be unable to compete, and must either go out of business or follow their rivals to the home of the raw material.
 The new South is fast gaining in busi- ness. It is pity that it isn't gaining faster in some other things that tend toward peace and prosperity.

ALMOST DONE.

The treaty is done, all but expressing and signing, Of course the signing of 1t will be rather important formality, but that will be done either Saturday or Monday unless the Spaniards change their minds or say "manana" again. It is now expected that they will sign on time and that everything will be as pleasant as it can be.
 The Spaniards are said to be very bit ter and to be blaming both Europe and the United States for their downfall. This is natural, or, at least, Spanish. And perhaps they will not feel any bet ter when they see how well we govern the people they couldn't handle. But the people will feel better, which is one of the things we had in mind when we put our arnor on.

and a score of miners were soon crowding about the players, Thus the betting went on, $5,O00 at time, until the resources of both banks were ex- hausted. Loves last bet was $7,500 and the colonel called it.
 Everyone in the room stood on tip- toe and the deepest silence prevailed, for everyone knew that the fate of one of the two banks hinged on those po- ker hands. Love looked so serious that his old acquaintances standing near gazed in wonder at him. With deliberation he threw his five cards, on which hinged the fate of Thomas or Dawson's bank on the table before him, face downward.
 Colonel, look at that writin' and tell the boys if those are the five cards l held in the game" he said.
 The colonel looked at the signature on the back of each card, and after nodding assent he laid his hand face downward, for Loves inspection.
 All right, colonel" Love said.
 Thomas and Dawson, both confident, were glaring at each other, when Love luiAeo ONer one cara. It WAS lile dCc of spades. The miners leaned forward and Love turned over the ace of hearts. Then he exposed the ace of clubs. Dawson and the colonel looked at each other and both colored slightly. Then Love turned over the tray of spades. The two men looked wonderngly at each other. They knew that the next card meant life or death for Dawson s bank. Love did not hesitate a mo- ment before he turned over the ace If diamonds. The colonel and Dawson seemed stunned for a moment The colonel was the first to act Taking up his five cards he tore them in two, and walking over to the stove threw them into the fire.

Then he left the room and three minutes later the doors of Dawson's s bank were closed for all time.-Chicago Inter-Ocean.

The selfish system of greed that has mothered the gold standard, special privileges, and monopoly, is destroying the opportunities for the enjoyment of life, liberty and the pursuit of happi- ness! It is conflscating our homes and reducing the people to tenantry! It is quartering among us the agents of Eng fish money-lenders, who are coming into the possession of the title to our lands and the business industries of the na- tion! It is destroying human character and lowering the standard of morals and religion It respects neither sex nor age The babe in the mothers arms, the aged and enfeebled, the boy just budding into manhood are, all alike, through poverty existing or threatened, the victims of its rapacity! Honor and patriotism, a decent self-re- spect and love of country demand it's overthrow! Our future and that of posterity is involved! Our cause ap- peals to the manhood and womanhood of America!
 So says Coin Harvey, and if he could have thought of anything more exclam- atory he would have said that. But what's the use of talking about sixteen to one any more? It will certainly make no impression in New Haven, which has a little matter of seventeen to nothing to think about.

result of such combination is most beautiful. One lovely shawl cape had a deep top-cape of beautiful sable. This fell over cape of white satin that showed a half yard below the fur all around, and the part of the satin that was below the fur was covered by a fiounce of black thread lace. On the edge of the satin was set deep band of sable. Another an opera shawl cape, had a top-cape of chinchilla set on a blue satin yoke finished with & high fur collar. The blue satin appear ed in tiounce below the fur cape, and below the satin flounce was final flounce of chinchilla.
 Chinchilla is also combined with lemon yellow velvet overlaid with heavy white chinchilla lace. Ermine and black velvet is a rather conven- tional combination, but ermine and pale yellow velvet is not so usual and makes an exquisite cloak The velvet covers the shoulders, is deeply edged with a full fiounce of ermine, and CT mine collar and revers complete the combination.

The Rev. J. H. Swallow, the secretary of the English Clerical Prevalent Union, says in "The London Mail:" ''In the Church of England there is simply no place for an old curate.

There are over twenty-five thousand clergy for fourteen thousand Iivings, one-ha1f of which can only be held by persons having private means I have repeatedly pointed out in the press that if the revenues and bounties and charities of the Church-which are still enorrnous-were managed on a sound financial basis and equitable dis tributed instead of percolating through an infinity of channels, we should hear less about clerical distress and the death of curates.'

The honest and efficient collection of customs revenue at Santiago de Cuba by the American officials has thrown unexpected light on the extent to which the Spanish government was defrauded there by it's own officials. Last month $1Oo.000 was collected in customs, which is at the rate of s1, ,2OO,O 900 year, and it is believed that, as trade is increasing, the intake will be $1,500,o00. But before the war the port collected and sent to the treasury at Havana only $475, GOO for the last complete year! All the mer- chants at Santiago knew how the off, cials were enriching themselves and paying tribute at the sametime to high CT officials at Havana.

An English traveller in Spain, writing to a London newspaper, says that he found a similar absence of resentment toward Americans. Spanish soldiers who have returned home speak favor ably of their victorious foes, and the mass of the Spanish people seem to have no unfriendly feelings toward the United States. They are glad that the war is over and are looking for better times It is evident that the Spanish politicians and newspapers do not fully represent Spanish public opinion.

The Baltimore Sun says that the late West Virginia, veteran of the civil war, carried bullet in his heart for thirty-seven years. His death was not due to the presence of the bullet, and, in fact, he never suffered any incon- venience from it. Before his death he asked his physician, in the interest of science, to make an autopsy in order to find the bullet The physician did so, and found it imbedded in the heart.

Department. at 3:l5 this afternoon, posted
the following bulletin:
THE department has no reason to be-
lieve that battle has occurred in the
Windward Passage.
'The auxiliary cruiser ST. Louis has cut
the cable at Santiago de Cuba and San

''The transport City of Pekin, with /, 200
troops on board, and the transports sgd
ney and Australia, also loaded with
troops, are expected to sail from San

Late this afternoon it was ascertalned
that the cable from Santiago that was
cut by the st. Louis was not the line
controlled by the French company, run
ming from Santiago to Haiti through
Guantanamo, but one of the two English
cables running from Santiago south to
Jamaica. This information was communi-
Gated to the officials of the government
