Money to Burn.

"When Burnside made his mud
march on to Fredericksburg, we men
in the advance had some gay times"
remarked veteran of the civil war.
"It was long while before the John
MES would let us cross the river, but
when we did get across we made the
fellows who had been shooting at US
for the past three hours get right up
and dust for safer quarters. The in
fantry soon followed US and took up
their position along the river toward
Falmouth, while we skirmished through
the town. When we came to the
Planters hotel, we just walked in and
took possession. Everybody had de-
serted the place and we did just as we
pleased. In going through one of the
rooms l came across three bundles OF
Confederate notes. Each bundle was
labeled to contain $4,000, and as held
them aloft l shouted to the rest of the
men that we now had money to burn.
They laughed, and / thrust the notes
in my pocket. The Johnnies had taken
or destroyed everything to eat, and, as
for liquor, there wasn't any in the town.
"Atter satisfying ourselves that there
was nothing further to be had in the
Planters hotel we sailed forth and
walked up toward the home of the
mother of our country-George WASH
ington's mother. We had had no
breakfast yet, and now it was close on
to noon. One of my companions had
some coffee in his haverssck, so 1
thought we might have little coffee if
nothing else. Well, we got the coffee
out and then discovered that we had
no frewood. There was some tall
swearing just at that time, for the
Johnnies hadn't left so much as a
match behind them.
COVE got ftp cried, and l hauled
out the three bundles of notes l had
found in the Planters hotel. My ex-
preston was greeted with shout by
my companions and--we had money
to burn. We soon had the fire going
and the coffee cooked. Need say to
any soldier that we enjoyed our coffee
at a price which seems rather high
$4,000? We were soon through and
marched back into the town only to see
our men trying to buy some tobacco
without money. How strange Is
seemed They had not cent, while
we had money to burn and burned it.
"four years AFTER reSretleu navlug
had this money and burned it. While
in Washington in the winter of 1865,
had the modification of seeing an ad-
vertisement for this identical package
of notes and offering fifty per cent on
their face value for their return. They
were Virginia state bank notes; hence
their value. Whenever hear that
man has money to burn l think Of my
S15 900 and shed a tear of regret that I
burned it."-New York Telegram.

POLITICAL.
Keep the philippines.

1t is certain that we have gone into
the China sea to stay, but it not certain
that we will claim more than the Island
of Luzon. There is no assurance that
Spain will not treat us to surprise.
Spanish eyes have been opened by the
war. A dispatch to London from Mad
rid says that majority of the politicians
in the Spanish capital favor the renun-
citation of the entire archipelago. This
is a sign of sanity. The protocol set
tied everything but the Asatic problem.
From the outset it was assumed that
that would develop into bone OF fierce
contention. Since hostilities were sus-
pended, however, change has come
over the spirit of Spanish dreams.
Porto Rico and Cuba are lost and we
propose TO keep Luzon. Manila, its
capital, is to the group what London Is
to the British isles. Mindanao IS per-
baps as large as Luzon, but its capital
is place of little consequence, COM
mercially and otherwise, and to play
second fiddle there after having been
supreme at Manila could scarcely be
other than distasteful to the Spaniards.
Pride is no longer factor in the case;
it has been too badly battered to be con-
sidered as an obstacle. When that is
eliminated, the difficulty is to conceive
of reason why our adversaries should
not forsake the Pacific as completely
and as expeditiously as circumstances
and some remnants of dignity will per-
NIT. Having dropped close to the bot
tom of the list of naval powers, the lux
ury of dying clutch abroad can profit
ably be dispensed with.
This explains why we may be treat
ed to surprise-why Spain may APP
pear to be quite accommodating when
the peace commission meets. OF
course she understands that what has
become valueless to her may by others
be regarded as priceless acquisition.
Assuming that Luzon will satisfy us,
she may manifest disposition to offer
the remainder to the highest bidder.
She is not oblivious of the fact that
there is European market for what
she will have to dispose of. II is true
we have stipulated that we shall be
consulted, but it is not true that we are
likely to resume hostilities. 1t would
profit us nothing to lombard the coasts
of Spain-we should probably have to
settle accounts with the buyer rather
than the seller. There is just posi-
bility that bargain has already been
made, subject, of course, to certain
contingencies that may arise while the
peace commissioners are in session.
Perhaps the administration had in
mind this pleasant possibility when it
concluded to send the Oregon and the
Iowa to the harbor of Manila. There
is little likelihood that Dewey will
either apply for or receive leave of alb
sence until the commissioners adjourn.
Nor is it injudicious TO add to rather
than diminish his fighting force. Not
that he needs a squadron to keep
Aguinaldo at distance. A few gun
boats would serve this purpose, but
stranger things have happened than
that the Oregon will again prove to be
the right battleship in the right place.

SOLDIERS BUDGET.
The Subject Was Dropped.

"That reminds me-" remarked an
old pioneer to a San Francisco Post
reporter, when General Halleck's name
was mentioned, "of the banquet we
gave Halleck in 1865, when he return
ed from the war. The people here
were proud of him, for he had more
than regained the laurels he lost at
Corinth, when he permitted the enemy
to escape under the cover Of big bat
terry of wooden guns that had been
made out of logs during the night.
"Among the friends OF Halleck who
met him at the banquet was Bully
Waterman, the old sea captain, who in
early days commanded clipper ship
plying between San Francisco and
New York. On one voyage he had
laid big wager to beat rival clipper,
but when be found on going to sea that
some of his crew who had shipped as
able-bodied seamen were incompetent
he was so mad he hanged three to the
yard. Just how many were hanged
was never known, but Waterman was
tried for murder and acquitted.
"During one of those silences that
will fall over the merrest of banquets
General Halleck called to Waterman,
who was at the other end of the room:
"'Now that you have been tried and
acquitted, Waterman, won't you tell US
how many men you hanged on that
voyage?'
"'Yes, general, 1 will, "-responded
Waterman, elf you will first tell US
how many wooden guns stopped you at
Corinth.'
"The subject was dropped there"

A Thrilling Scene in Field Hospital
at Guasimas,

There is one incident of the day
which shines out in my memory above
all others now as lie in a New York
hospital writing. 1t occurred at the
field hospital. About dozen of us
were lying there. A continual chorus
of means rose through the tree branches
overhead. The surgeons, with hands
and barred arms dripping, and clothes
literally saturated, with blood, were
straining every nerve to prepare the
wounded for the journey to -Siboney.
Behind me lay Capt. McClintock with
his lower leg bones literally ground to
powder. He bore his pain as gallant
ly as he he had led his men, and that is
saving much. l think Major Brodie
was also there. 1t was doleful group.
Amputation and death stared it's men,
bers in their gloomy faces.
Suddenly voice started softly,
"S sxyS cSpIn SnS Of III iiS Of thee
OF thee sing"
Other voices took it up:
LAND where my fathers died.,
Land OF the Pilgrims pride"
The quivering, quavering chorus,
punctuated by groans, aud made spas
modic by pain, tremtled up from that
little group of wounded Americans in
the midst of the Cuban solitude-the
pluckiest, most heartfelt song that hui
man beings ever sang.
There was one voice that did not
quite keep up with the others. 1t was
SO weak that did not hear it until all
the rest had finished with the line,
"Let Freedom ring"
Then hating, struggling, faint, it re-
peated slowly,
"Land-of-the-Pilgrms
Let Freedom"
The last word was woeful cry. One
more son had died as died the fathers.

A DISPATCH from Madrid to the
London Daily Mail, says that a ma
jority OF the politicians favor the en-
tire renunciation of the Philippines,
hoping that Spain will obtain in ex-
change therefor valuable economic ad :
vantages. The retention of the islands
they believe, will be fruitful source
of complications.
