"Oh, I've been mentioned in lot of

best things did was to take two Spanish

Mr.. B then rode up with the same
order, and we three started for a spring a
mile distant, having gathered up the
empty canteens which lay strewn on the
field. This was the nearest spring. The
enemy knew it, and consequently had
posted sharpshooters within rife range
to prevent the troops being supplied with
water.
Notwithstanding this we filled our can

fast around us, and returned in safety to

ration Day is widely expressed at least once
in every four years, which ia as often as the
matter is brought wildly before the people .
Senator Hoar has proposed Constitutional
amendment to bring the Inauguration of
the President back TO April Both, where il
was originally, Washington having taken
the oath of office on that date, 1889. There is
no doubt that March 4th is very apt to be
cold, treacherous and uncomfortable, even
in Washington. The soldiers and citizens
are Obliged to stand for long hours in the
streets, exposed TO the keenest winds of the
year, and the President in making his ad-
dress runs the risk OF pneumonia and other
dangerous maladies, On the other hand,
April Both is very close to the first of Nav,
which is genial period, for the most part,
and shows Washington in an inviting
aspect The suggested change of late
would be widely welcomed, at least by
those who attend the interesting ceremo-

that the Oregon Legislature got into dead
lock and adjourned without making choice
The Governor then appointed Mr.. Corbett,

The effect of this decision is to leave the seat

The Governor of Oregon can convene the

The refusal to seat Corbett, which is based
upon precedent as well as sound law, leaves

British government is determined to main

"even at the cost of war" The British press
