CATCHY SONGS OF RIOTERS
Carmagnole" as the Sunday Night Mob
 in Paris Sung It

From the Baltimore Sun.
 "rhe Carmagnole," which the thousands of rioters sang in Paris Sunday night, is a French song and dance of the revolution ary era It greatly contributed to exas- perate the people against Louis XVI, and Marie Antionette. who were lampooned in it as Mon. and Mime. Veto.
 The mobs in the streets during the revo- lutionary era danced to the music of the song and amid the widest enthusiasm, which was equally displayed in the theatres and on the battlefield when it was played by the military bands. II was suppressed by Bonaparte after the establishment of the consula te.
 The name is said to have originated from the waistcoat worn by the Marseilles men who took conspicuous part in the 1nsur- reetion of August 10 1892 the song appear ing soon afterward: but the name of it's author remained unknown. The songs name was also applied to the costume of the territorists, to the most violent Jacob ins and to the soldiers of the republic. The waistcoat thus called is said to have orig mated in Carmagnole. near Turin, Italy. An English translation of the entire song, which of course, lacks the French jingle and rhyme, is as follows: Madame Veto had promised,
 
 To have cut the threats of all Paris, TO have cut the throats of all Paris, But the blow did fail,
 Thanks to our gunners Let us dance the carmagnole!
 Long live the sound, long live the sound, Let us dance the carma gnole!
 Long live the sound of the cannon! Monsieur Veto had promised To be faithful to his country, But he has fallen therein Let us give no quarter.
 Let us dance the armagnole!
 Long live the sound, long live the sound! Let us dance the carmagnoie!
 Long live the sound of the cannon! Antoinette had decreed
 To make us fall on our backs, But her blow did fail;
 Her own nose was broken. Let us dance the carmagnole, etc. Her husband thought he was victor, He did not know our valor; Get out Lewis, you big block head, From the Temple to the Tower. Let us dance the carmaSnole, etc. The Swiss guards had promised They would fire upon our friends; It caused her sore heartache To see herself dishonored. Let us dance the carmagnole etc. The patriot counts among his friends All the homes people of the land, But they will hold out All by the sound of the cannon. Lei Us dance the carmagnole, etc. Aristocraey counts as it's friends All the royalists in Paris, But they will support you As real towards do.
 Let us dance the carmagnole, etc. The horse guards also had promised To stand by their country And they failed not to respond To the sound, to the sound of cannon. Let us dance the carmagnole, etc Friends. let us ever be united Let us not fear our foes; If they come to attack us We will make tslem skip Let us dance the carmagnole, etc. Yes a breechless man I am In spite of the friends of the King; Long live the men of Marseiles, The Bretons and our laws. Let us dance the carmagnole, etc.
 IL is evident from the above that the words of the song have largely lost thell special political significance. but the tune stn catches the Parisians.

WILL HAVE BIRMINGHAM DAY

Yesterday the State Fair management took up the matter of having day for con- federate veterans. A letter was received from Commander Long of the camp at De- catur, and 1t is known also that several let ters have been sent to General Harrison at looking toward the setting apart of a day for the benefit of the veterans.
 It is not doubted that such an event would bring an unusually large throng to the city and with an appropriate pro- gramme il should prove to be one of the most enjoyable features of the fair After the veterans have arranged some further details the Fair management will name the date.
 It is intended to have every day of the Fair devoted to something new. It is gen. be known as educational days. It is settled that there will be a T. P. A. day, a Schley day and a negro day, besides others that may be named in the near future.
 It is proposed to make Birmingham day one of the biggest features of the entire Fair. To do this it is necessary that the Commercial club, the Bog of Trade and all other organizations should unite and frame an excellent programme.
 Secretary Rountree said yesterday that the different organizations should take some action and appoint their committees at once It is expected that every citizen of Birmingham will take especial pride in this day and aid in making a splendid showing for the industrial center of Ala hama

OTIS DENIAL
Of Correspondents Charges Given Out
at Washington.

washington, July 21.-The war de-
partment has issued a statement quot
ing certain dispatches from Gen. Otis
in answer to the press correspondents
Round Robin" The general says in
substance that the correspondents
wish to send statements that impern
operations; that they had no specifica-
ton to support their charges against
him and that these charges were un-
true He denies that he mininizes the
work of the navy and quotes from ma
val dispatches to justify his statement
The text of the statement is as fol-
lows:
Gen Otis in a dispatch under date
of July 20 says that the press corre-
spondents demanded permission to
cable that official reports sent misrepre-
sented conditions. This was denied
They then demanded the privilege to
send without reservation facts found by
them and their opinion This was
granted if the public interests were not
imperilled. The answer was not salts
factory and they therefore sent by mail
to Hong Kong. Gen. Otis says he Is
not conscious of sending nisrepresenta-
tiOns but thinks that his dispatches at
times have been too conservative. The
press affair appeared to be threat.
When correspondents were asked to
be informed wherein Gen. Otis dis
nothing tangible except that his con-
clusions were unwarranted. When told
that they were disregarding military
authority, it was apparent that they
courted martyrdom which it was un-
wise to give them.
IN a later dispatch General Otis says
that the charges made by the press COR
respondents are untrue. He adds that
the most harmonious relations exist be-
tween the army and the navy. He gives
the following extract from a letter Just
received from leading Filipino at Tar
la, which is the center of the main in
surgent army:
. For some days have been trying to
closely impossible to leave. A great
many of the people here long for Amer
lean troops to advance; for every one is

mitted by Aguinaldo's army

ceeded Admiral Dewey in command of
the feet in sending the report of the
commander of the Yorktown to the
navy department makes this endorse
ment:
g I am pleased to note the cordial CO.
operation of army and navy.
LAS bearing upon the statement that
the opera tions of the navy had been
minimized, it may be stated that Gen.
of the navy, as for example in his dis
patch of June 18th last, in which he
says:
" The navy aided greatly on shore

Two Soldiers of the Twentieth
In the Philippines
Dig Up a Spanish Strong Box
Full of Gold.
T CONTAINED $4,000.
The Boys Were Working on an
Embankment.
Coin Had Evidently Been Buried
For Years.

Independence, July 21.-En1il o. Etzold
Of this place, who is member of COM
pany G, Twentieth Kansas writing from
the Philippines tells of a lucky find of
a box containing SO, 500 in Spanish gold
coin by Win Smart and Orville Spencer,
two of company G boys.
The Kansas boys were throwing up
an intrenchment near Santa Tomas
when Smart and Spencer unearthed a
small iron box several feet under
sround. 1t was very strong ana was
opened with difficulty. The coin ap-
peared to have been buried many years
and it is supposed that it belonged to
some wealthy Spanish family who lived
there and that the owner either died
suddenly or was forced to flee so rapidly
when the Americans entered the cOun-
try that he did not have time to take
his strong box. He says that several
other finds have been made OF buried
treasures but not of such value as this
one
He also says that the natives have
been offered $50 in Mexican money for
each gun they bring in and surrender.

THEARTFUL RAVEN.
(From the Phiiadelphia Times.

(F'rom the Philadelphia Times.)
Many stories are told of the cleverness
of the raven. a bird that really seems to
have reasoning powers. One of these
stories tells how a raven, by a skillful
strategem, got a young hare for it's din
ner. 1t had pounced upon the little ami
NAL, but the mother hare drove it away.
Then the raven slowly retreated, en-
cOuraging the mother hare to follow him.
and even pretending that he was afraid
of her. In this fashion he led her to a
considerable distance from the young one,
and then. suddenly, before the hare had
time to realize the meaning of the trick.
he rose in the air, few swiftly back,
caught the young hare in his heak and
bore it away.
A similar plan was adopted by some
dog. The teased him until he grew so
angry that he chased them from the spot,
but the artful birds turned sharply round,
easily reached dish before him and car
ried off the choicer bits in triumph.
AS to the ravens s power of speech, the

thority OF Captain Brown, who VoucheS

The cry being presently repeated, the
traveller thought it must proceed from
someone in distress, and at once began
to search for him. He soon discovered
two ravens nercely attacking a third. He
was so struck with the appeal of the op-
pressed bird that he promptly rescued
him.
1t turned out that the victim was tame
