Some New Wrinkles.

General Robt. r. Hemphill, Of
South Carolina, an old veteran of the
late wal and editor of the Abbeville
Medium, recently visited the soldiers
in camp at Chicamauga, and among
other things he says: eve saw them
all on dress parade the afternoon we
arrived. There are great changes
since we served with General Lee.
Then the regiment was formed in
double ranks and the field officers
were dismounted. Now the regiment
consists of three .battalions. On dress
parade these are formed in column of
companies and the field officers are
mounted. Each battalion has four
companies and on dress parade three
majors sit upon their horses in front
of their respective battalions. There
is an interval bet ween the battalions.
The evolutions are very much the
same as they YER in old times. The
band alwas plays the "Star-spangled
Banner on dress parade and also
sotae of Sousa's marches.
When the flag passes before the
Colonel he removes his hat and places
it against his left shoulder in from.
This was something new to u.s."

Hon. ]. T. Heard.

-
We are pleased to notice that Hon.
j. T. Heard of Ayoyelles parish is a
candidate for Railroad Commissioner
from this the Second Railway district,
which as our readers know, is COM
posed of the parishes composing the
Third and Sixth Congressional Dis
tricts. Mr.. Heard is a prominent
business man of Avoyelles parish, a
true and tried Democrat and a gen
tleman who stands deservedly high in
the estimation Of the public, both as
regards character and business quaii-
fications. He served his district faith
fully and well in the State Senate
from 1892 to 1896 and during his
term Of service he mace many friends
and took "a active and prominent
part IN the legislation Of that some
what stormy period. MT. Heard lS
thoroughly honest and Straightforward
in bis dealings, a man Of the people,
a friend of their interests and one
who, if elected, will strive to deal
justly by all concerned. With the
rich and prosperous parish of Avoy-
Giles at his back Mr.. Heard will have
!. strong pull in the convention and,
being the first gentleman from this
district to announce his candidacy,
he will doubtless have a big advan-
tage in the exciting race, which will
shortly be on.

Prince Bismarck Dead.

Shortly before IL o'clock Saturday
NIGHT, Prince Otto Won Bismarck
died at his home at Friedrichsruhe.
Thus passes from the stage of action
one Of the greatest figures Of the cen
fury. Bismarck was born April /,
1876, received a finished education,
and entered political life in 1916. In
1862 he became first minister to the
crown of Prussia, and from that time
he became the most prominent man
in Europe. His masterful manage
ment in the Franco-Prassian war
made him the idol Of the German peo-
pie. For the past few years he has
been in poor health and has lived a
quiet life.

Spain Sues for Peace.

Realizing at last the hopelessness OF
further prolonging the unequal con-
nict, Spain last week sought, through
the Intervention of the French AM
bassador Cambon some proposals
from the United States looking to
peace. After due consultation with
his cabinet President Mckinley sub
mitted the following as the terms of
peace:
/. The relinquishment of sover-
eighty in Cuba for the establishment
there of a stable government by the
United States.
2. The cession Of Porto Rico to
the United States as part payment of
a war indemnity.
3. The cession of all the Spanish
islands in the West Indies to the
United States.
4. The establishment of q naval
base in the Ladrones.
s.. The permanent occupation OF
Manila and contiguous territory by
the United States as d naval and com
mercial base.
6. The United States valves no
claims upon the Philippines or any
Spanish territory that has been cap
.tured or may be captured.
Z. An armistice to be granted as
soon as Spain binds herself to eyacu-
ate Cuba, Porto Rico, and the other
Spanish Islands in the West Indies,
the suspension Of war only for the
purpose of reaching some conclusion
as to the government of the Philip
pines (ourside of Manila and conti-
gaous territory,) the indemnity to be
paid the United States and the claims
Of private persons against Spain.
The main proposition is that which
proposes q suspension Of hostilities as
soon as Spain agrees to relinquish her
possessions in the West Indies. The
two subordinate propositions are:
1. The minimum demands relative
to the Lanrones and Manila.
2. The stipulation as to the future
lof the Philippines.
The latest press dispatches are tc
the effect that Spain has accepted
these terms. Details will be ar
ranged by commissioners.
