The ex-Spanish cruiser Maria Teresa
is lost at sea and Uncle Sam Is sick.
She was sunk by the American warships
off Santiago July with the rest OF :he

raised by Lieut., Hoason. While being
towed to Norfolk, Va, she encountered a
gale, the heavy seas sprung the patched
up plates and the vessel sank in three
miles Of water. There was general
desire on tho part Of the people as well
as the government that the cruiser be
saved and be added to thu United States
navy as one OF The trophies Of the war.

After the Mule.


A physician and his friend were stand
ing on the street corner Of a Virginia
town, where they were spending a few
days. Their attention was amusingly ar
rested by the sight of an Old darby be-
laboring the tanks Of a mule in a vain
persuasion TO make him move on. At last
the doctor was appealed to.
Say, boss, I'll give you five dollahs ef
you'll make dis hyar mule GO"
With sly wink the physician opened
his case and took out his hypodermic
syringe, filled the needle with an acid, and
sent IT into the hind quarters of the mule.
The effect was magical With a wild
plunge the mule went tearing down the
street with the darby after him, the by
ISLANDERS roaring with laughter. a short
time afterward the darky, dust-coyered
and painting, approached again.
Say. b0ss-hOw much-was de wuff-

Down went the darky's hands into his

me Of an old colored woman now living
in Salem named Isabella, and who has
been in his family for more than 100
years, having first belonged TO his grand
father, then to his brother, and then to
himself.
Colonel Shanks says there Is an entry
Of her birth in an old Bible which be-
longed to his grandfather, and which
shows that she is now in her 102d year.
He also gave me other evidence which
would be sufficient to settle IL as a TACT
that she must be at least a hundred. /

Besides the above. l know of another
who, though not quite centenarian, Is
very near one--yiz., Mr.. Charles Reid, Of
the firm OF Charles Reid 4 Son. of Nor
folk, Va, who is now well in his seth year,
having been born April T. 1850 Mr.. Reed
is. l am Informed hale and hearty Old
gentleman, still engaged, with the aid OF
his son, who is some ", In carrying on a
large export stave business, going to his
office every. day that tho weather will
permit, and, In addition, attends regu-
larly TO his duties as a director Of the
Marine Bank, the same OF which Colonel
Walter III. Taylor is president. Mr.. Reid
has lived In the cities of Portsmouth and
Norfolk, first one and then the other, ever
since he was years old.
Another thing worthy OF remark about
him is that though he went into business
at the age OF q, and has, therefore, been
in IL for seyenty-seven years, he has
never failed.
In conclusion, will say that in Howe's
History OF Virginia, an old work (which
has been out OF print for a number of

left for Richmond.
On our arrival in Richmond at camp
of instruction our band played and sang
Dixie" Live and Die in Richmond
This was the first time the words were
ever heard there, and the sentiment OF
them created quite a general excitement
and interest and the soldiers in camp
from privates to the field officers, would
collect at the quarters Of Company Il
to hear Dixie"
This was played every evening while In

citizens gathered to hear our band play

we were warmly greeted by all the sol
diers previously stationed there. At dress

frequently sang the words. and the great
est enthusiasm was manifested for the
sentiment. Many wanted a copy Of the
words and applied for them, but as the
author was very difildeDt and in no way
DESTROYS TO become notorious, he man
aged TO avoid giving a copy.
Seeing the interest manifested in those
words and the anxiety TO hear them by
all, asked the author to be kind enough
to allow me to copy them as ne would
repeat them, which he consented to do,
and 1 copied them myself in his tent
when we were in private and no one
else knew of IL. My object was to give
the words, which carried the sentiments
Of the South, to the public and let the
world know our feeling, and believing
that the author would not do so. L took
took this method to bring them before
the public.
After getting the words / sent a copy
TO the Richmond Dispatch, signed "E. X.

head of the first column on the first page,
and they were read and sung by thou
sands, both young and old. 1t was never
known who sent the words TO the press,
neither did any one know the authors
