iect of sixteen to one, and so be-
ing distinctly declares he wants no
golden wings" Indeed, he
boldly repudiates them, whether
sweeping" or otherwise; while
with true poetic ardor he sudden
ly presents the heroic climax to
this extraordinary epic, properly
and artistically reserved until the
very last. In fact, without in
tending to be in the least degree
irrevelent, we venture to suggest
that like the wasp or the humble
bee, the sting of this remarkable
poem is to be found sticking in
the tail.
"By heaven we'll war for the rotting
Tar-to hell with other things"
including, let us hope, Mr.. Richard
e. Stevenson, the renowned au-
thor, unless be will hasten to cross
his heart and body, in a solemn
promise, never again infict us, or
a suffering world, with any more
of his Spanish-fy ointment, in the
name of poetry.
If ever tempted to violate this
promise, in a renewed effort to
pose as the Rudyard Kipling of
the West, we coniure the poet
laureate of our sister state to fer
vently pray with good King Lear,
"give me an ounce of civet, good
apothecary, to sweeten my imagi-
nation. Bolivar Democrat.

TIE SURPRISE OF ALL,

Mr.. James Jones, of the drug

serious that physicians at Cowden
and Pana could do nothing for her.
1t seemed to develop into Hasty

home, and to the surprise of all
she began to get better from first

Lillian Bell on Polish Girls.

ed the Russian frontier and came into
the land of the Slav." writes Lillian Bell
from Wilma, Russia, in the June Ladies'
Home Journal. "Here at once I found
individuality. Polish girls are more like
American girls If you ask q young
English girl what she thinks of Victor
Hugo she tells you that her mamma does
not allow her to read French novels. If
you ask French girl how she likes to
live in Paris she tells you that she never
went down town alone in her life.
"But the Polish girls are different.
They are individual. They all have a
personality. When you have met one
you never feel as ifyou had met them all.
In this respect they resemble American
girls, but only in this respect, for, where
as, there is type of Polish young girl
and a charming type she isl never in
my life saw what considered typical
American girl. You cannot typify the
psychic charm of the young American
girl"

THE cAD1z FLEET.
1t 10 Reported to Have Sailed, But Date of
Sailing and Destination is Not
Made Known.

GIBRALTAR, June Alt is announced
here that the Spanish Cadiz squadron
has sailed, but the date of its sailing
was not mentioned nor was the desti-
nation of the war ships given.
According to reports, the Cadiz feet
of Spain consists of the battle ship
Pelaic, the armored cruisers Carlos v.
and Alfonso Kill, the auxiliary cruis-
ers Rapido and Patriota, the cruisers
Ciudad de Cadiz, Leon KILL, Buenos
Ayres and Antonio Lopez. several aux
iliary cruisers of . smaller. type than
the Rapido and the Patriota, the
torpedo destroyers Audaz, Prosperina
and Destructor, and possibly the ar
mored cruiser Cardenal de Cisneros
But so many misleading reports re-
garding the composition and strength
of the Cadiz feet have been circulated
that it is almost impossible to refer to
its composition in more than general
terms. However, there is only one
battle ship in the Spanish feet, and
she is not very formidable.

WASHINGTON, June A--Peace, with
profit to the United States and also
permitting Spain to save the fragments
Of her national homer, may come at
any time. The Spanish government
has had all the trouble 1t cares for, and
is already indirectly negotiating
for cessation of hostilties.
A senator is authority for
this statement He is not one of the
statesmen who syndicated to head of
war, and just now his chief sentiment
seems to be one of fear that hostilities
may be terminated before this country
has time to conquer sufficient territory
to recoup itself for the expenses Of the
combat.
1.-THE Spanish ambassador at London,
Count De Rascon, has made overtures
for peace negotiations to the American
ambassador" asserted member of .
foreign legation to a correspondent
II might be more correct" he con.
tinued, Count De Rascon is endeavor-
ing to ascertain through the American
embassy what the official feeling in
this country is on the subject of set
Element De Rascon, of course, could
make no direct propositions to Mr..
Hay, nor could the latter make
official response. De Rascon's evil
dent instructions are to get some idea
of what terms his government can
make. have heard also that Mr.. Hay
informed the state department of the
Spanish ambassadors desire to gain
information"
At the state department it was said
that Ambassador Hay had made no re-
port on the Spanish frame of mind nor
touching the counts pursuit of knowl-
edge.
The cabinet is discussing terms of
peace. Several times this week, in the
con ferences at the white house, plans
of war have been laid aside for the
consideration of the conditions upon
which the country will be willing to
cease hostilities The impression
that Spain is to sue for peace after a
signal defeat strengthens every day.
Porto Rico is to be taken as the in
demnity for the war and for the $780,
100000 claims of American citizens.
This is one of the terms of the coming
treaty that may be regarded as
settled. Estimates of the probable
cost of the war vary, but $780,
000,00 is an average amount For this
and the claims of the Americans the
United States will take Porto Rico,
it being taken for granted any money
indemnity is out of the question, in
view of Spain's impoverished condi-
ton.
To the ultimate disposition Of the
Philippines some consideration is be-
ing given. Only one point about that
question may be considered settled. 1t
is that, whatever the United States
may decide to do about the
islands as whole, this government
will retain possession of good
harbor and of sufficient terri tory for
q coaling station and naval base. 1t
is not at all certain that the conclu-
sion may not be to hold permanently
the harbor and city of Manila under
the flag of the United States and let
the rest of the Philippines go.

Life In Virginia.

CAMP ALaER, Va, May 81, 1893.
EDITOR NEWS HRRALD:--I thought this
morning a. I had q little time before
guard mount that I would write some
notes to you and for my Highland coun.
ty friends. We broke camp at Colum.
bus, O., May 18th and arrived at our
destination Friday, May goth. We had
a delightful trip which was enjoyed by
all the boys. We left Columbus over
the T. and o. @. to Athens, O., then
over the X. & M. 10 the mouth of the
sauley River, w. Va, where We were
transferred to the O. & o. 1t was here
that we saw the piers of the old wood.
en- bridge across the sauley River which
was burned by the Confederate General
Wise during the late war.
While on the @. & o. We passed
through the prettiest part Of our trip.
The route lies along the bank of the
New River which the railroad follows to
its source in the mountains of West
Virginia. Often there was only room
for the railroad track between the over.
hanging cliffs on one side and river on
the other. While in a narrow place
just above Hawks Nest, w. Va, on a
sharp curve COW was run over and
killed by our train. It was miracle that
we we're not derailed We had been hav.
ing corned beef with our travelling ra.
tions ard after this incident we had
corn beef to throw away.
Our drum major is native Virginian
and was able to point out all the old
battle fields we passed through. We
were sidetracked for three hours at Sem.
mary Ridge Ridge and the boys soon
scattered over the fields in search of
souvenirs and some of them were re.
warded by finding old brass buttons,
bullets and pieces of bayonets. One of
them found captains shoulder strap.
We have ncie camp. Our neighbnrs
are the lst N. ] the 65th n Y. and the
l59th Ind. They are all nice boys. Our
band serenaded the 1st N. J one even
ing and the 65th N Y. the next l never
saw such time as the boys all but car.
ried us on their shoulders and cheered
themselves hoarse. What the 7th Ohio
boys do now is all right,
Every evening we have brigade dress
parade, composed of the lst N. j., the
7th Ohio and the 65th N. Y, comman.
ded by Col. E. A. Campbell of the 1st
N. j. He is fine officer.
We have just received orders for our
brigade to prepare for review before
the President and Adjutant Gen. Col.
Hamilton says that this means that we
will see active service within the week,
which will please the boys for every
one of US to man wants to 20 to the
front. Well, will have to close wish.
ing you prosperity, am ever yours

Henry wattefson, that most eloquent
orator, spoke In Lexington, KY, recently
on the occasion OF the departure Of the
troops from that State. He said In part
"You are about to make history. It
may prove that this will not be history
merely repeating itself. For the first
time since the crusades war has been
levied for no cause Of purely mater.
ial kind, and with no selfish purpose.
I scarcely like the shibboleth 'Remem.
Der the Maine.' It seems to me too re.
vengeful to be quite worthy. I do not
forget the circumstances to which It owes
its origin. The scene Of that awful trag.
edy under the shadow of MORO Castle
is yet before my eyes. I can sec -
close them, the very faces Of our muir.
dered men with the ghastliness Of death
upon them. But also see the myriads
of starving men, women and children
ruthlessly sacrificed to feed the lust and
fill the pockets Of professional plunderers
and masquerading in Cuba q Spanish
officers and gentleman. Behind them
see three centuries of wanton pillage, OF
frightful corruption, Of cruelty unsur.
passed in human annals. The time YVES
long ago come for some great power to
stretch forth it's hand, to interpose its
authority and to say to the world, This
barbarism shall proceed no farther
What power except that of the United
States was to do this? Cuba is our next
door neighbor. Time out of mind these
atrocities have been perpetrated before
our eyes, While Spain has required us
to spend millions of money policing our
coasts against filibusters, she has shown
herself unable, in our protection, to po.
lice one of her own harbors. Was this
to 60 on forever? You yourselves are
the answer to this question.
"You are going to he battle waged
by man for man. You are going there.
for in the name OF that Christ who died
for men. You are going to fight battle
for the glory of God and your native
land. You are going, therefore, under
a flag, which, the symbol at once OF
freedom and humanity. and having Gods
blessing upon it, has never yet known
defeat. Look to it that you carry your
selves as soldiers equally of the cross and
of the flag.
"No man can be good soldier who is
not at heart good man.
"Self. possession in the presence Of
danger is the truest courage and he is
the bravest soldier who keeps his head,
who knows perfectly the right thing to
do, and who does it. when, frightened
out of boots his legs would fain carry
him away. 1t is the sense Of duty which
will make you men; duty to the flag
above you; duty to country and honor
and to those dear ones at home who will
follow you with ever fearful, but with
ever Frightening eye.
