A RUSSIANS VISION.
It Forms q Curious Contrast to the
Cxar's PrOfessiO Ms OF
Peace.

In curious contrast with the pro-
fessed love of peace of the present czar
of Russia comes the publication of
the Year 1S-," the vision of Russian
patriot, which was received with the
greatest interest in Russia proper and
was translated into French and German
Immediately after its appearance IN
Russia, says the Boston Herald. The
story describes war of Russia against
Great Britain, Italy, etc, starting from
a naval port in the Arctic ocean not far
from the North cape and a much
stronger fleet than now.
The author is hiding under the pseu-
donym "a Bjelomo" (meaning White
sea), but his disguise Is rather thin, for
everybody knows that Admiral Maka-
rolf is behind it. Only last year the czar
authorized the use Of 90, ,OO0. 900 rubles
toward the opening of Jekaterinport,
on the so-called Murmannic coast OF
the Arctic, a splendid harbor, which, on
account of the influence Of the gull
stream, is open the year round. and to-
ward the building Of additional men-of-
war. The minister of the navy recently
went with Admiral Makaroff to visit
this new port. and railroads will be built
to connect it with Archangel and St
Petersburg, the building of these rail
roads being now assured beyond G
doubt.
Would this not prove that the czal
has but small hopes of the ultimate vic
tory of his peace projects?

A POSSIBILITY.
The Railroad Mans Guess Why Tick
cts Were Selling at Bargain
Counter Prices.

She was portly lady with lot of
bundles-and it may be noted at this
point that it is almost always the case
that the larger the lady is, the larger
and more numerous are the bundles she
carries-and when she entered the rail
road station she was putting so that a
drowsy man on the front seat jumped
up suddenly, thinking it was the engine
of the train he was waiting for. She
approached the ticket window and there
she put her bundles In all the available
space. They were nice, new, store bum
dies, however, and no objection was
made.
'Is the train for Jungleville gone
YETI" she inquired.
mo, ma'am," responded the clerk.
"How far is it there?"
"About 70 miles, guess, ma'am," for
he was new to that place, and was not
thoroughly conversant with details.
whats the price of a ticket?"
"One ninety-eight, ma'am."
Zone ninety-eight?" she repeated.
"How does that happen?"
II don't know, ma'am," he replied as
he eyed her bundles. II guess it must
be marked down from two dollars."

GOMEZ SAYS FAREWELL.
The Aged Cuban General
Urges His People to
Unite.
Wrangling, He Says, rIust Cease
Before Americans Will Grant
Home Rule.

Havana, June General Maxine
Gomez, the former Commander-in-chief
Of the Cuban army, issued his farewell
manifesto today. II substance it says:
1--WE wanted and depended upon foreign
Intervention to terminate the war.
This occurred at the most terrible
moment of our contest and resulted in
Spain's defeat. But none of US thought
this extraordinary event would be fol-
lowed by military occupation of the
country by our allies, who treat us as
people incapable of acting for ourselves
and who have reduced us to obedience,
to submission and to tutelage imposed
by force of circumstances. This can
not be our ultimate fate after years of
struggle, and we should aid by every
pacific method in finishing the work of
organizing, which the Americans ac-
cepted in the protocol, and which is rs
disagreeable for them as for ourselves.
This aid will prove useless without con-
cord among all the islanders. There
fore, it is necessary to forget past disa-
greements, to completely unite all
elements and to organize a political
party, which is needed in any country.
s'It is always said that countries have
the government which they merit.
Cuba will have that which her heroism
entitled her to. Today she can only
have one party in Cuba, with one object,
that of obtaining the aspiration of years.
"We must devote ourselves to pacific
labors; gain the respect of the world,
and show that, though our war was
honorable, our peace must be more so.
"We must make useless by our
behavior the presence of q strange
power in the island, and must assist the
Americans to complete the honorable
mission they have been compelled to
assume by force of circumstances.
'This work was not sought by those
rich Northerners, owners of q continent.
l think doubts and suspicious are unjust.
We must form Immediately a committee
or club to be a nucleus of government.
This will serve Cuban interests purely
and act as an aid to the intervenors."

horae could 60, and the king embraced
him and conferred SO many decorations
on him that hesyhad to wear some Of
them ON his head.
The town was trimmed with bunting,
garlands were thrown across the streets
from house to house, and the marriage
was so splendidly celebrated that the
people could talk of nothing else for
fortnight.
All went we'll with the king and
queen for year. The king had quite
forgotten his ginger nuts and the queen
ler jews harp.
However, the king got out of bed one
morning with the wrong foot foremost,
and after that, of course, all went
wrong. 1t rained the entire day; the
| imperial globe fell down and the little
cross on the top broke off; the court
painter brought new globe on which
Macronia was painted red instead of
| blue, as he had been ordered, and to cap
the climax the queen had a headache.

quarreled for the first time; why or
wherefore they knew not. In short, the

er the quarrel had gone ON for some
time the queen shrugged her shoulders
disdainfully and said:
you've found fault the entire day.
And why, pray-you, who can't 60
much as play the jews harp?"
He retorted sharply:
"You've nothing to say. You can't
even bake ginger nuts
For the first time the queen did not
reply, but remained quiet, and without
exchanging another word they went to
their respective rooms.
The queen seated herself in corner
of the sofa and wept and thought sadly
"What foolish wife you arel Have
you lost your reason? You should not
have begun quarrel SO stupidity"
The king paced up and down his
| room, rubbed his hands and said:
''It is truly bit of good luck that
my wife can't bake ginger nuts. Why
did answer her when she reproached
me for not knowing how to play on the
jews harp?"
After repeating this three or foul
times he felt more cheerful. He began
to whistle his favorite tune, examined
the large portrait of the queen which
hung in his room, mounted chair, anG
with his handkerchief brushed off {

West Liberty Banner.
The sermon of Rev. George E. Davies,
of Bellefontaine, to the graduating class
of Glover Institute, Sunday evening,
was one of the finest efforts it has been
the privilege of the people of West
Liberty to hear for some time. Rev.
the county, but his reputation as an
eloquent orator and deep thinker is
growing rapidly. His discourse here
was splendid inspiration to become
seekers of truth as the highest mission
that can be given to man. His address
to the class was full of food for thought.

Home Cominss Of Two Wars.

From the Waverly Independent
1t was when the Forty-ninth Iowa
was welcomed home last week. The
towns whence the companies had gone
were gaily decorated. They were met
at the stations by bands and cheering
multitudes, and cannon doomed, an
nouncing their arrival. Calliopes and
many other things calculated to crack
and rend and lacerate the air were
brought out to parade the streets. A
squad of ex-soldiers were looking on.
From 1861-5 they marched to the music
of the Union in the Fifteenth, Logan's
Corps. They compared this welcome"
with that of '65, and they said this
welcome of the Forty-ninth was more
gorgeous and louder than that accorded
the Fifteenth Corps on their arrival
home in the summer of 1865. They
were right. And the difference is
easily accounted for:
Two companies left little Northern
town in the summer of '62. They were
with Grant until after Vicksburg.
In the fall of 1868, those of them who
had not been left at Champions Hill
and in the trenches at Vicksburg, were
at Missionary Ridge where others were
mustered out" Less than q third OF
the original members answered at roll
call and marched with Sherman to the
sea, and fewer than one-fourth of them
marched through the Carolinas, and
were at the final review when the war
was over. Then the two companies
went back to the little Northern town.
But instead of 200 hundred strong they
returned with less than SO. Where
were the other $50? Was the town
gorgeously decorated, and did the
anvils ring, did cannon boom, and CALI.
opes sing, and did the crowds cheer
when this little band arrived in towr
with their old flag which had been rid
died with bullets, and the staff of which
had been splintered by mimic balls!
Oh, no, they didn't! They were GLAD
the boys came home, but something
came way up in their throats whenever
they thought of cheering. So they
didn't cheer. Every home in thai
town was made to feel, what it cost tt
save the Union.
James Logan returned home, but
his father and mother couldn't cheer
because he buried his brother Samue
at Mission Ridge. Jacob Wagonel
came home, but his brother Carl wa
shot dead at Vicksburg, and his brother
Joel was killed in the charge at Tun
nell Hill. John Andre came home
but his two cousins were buried a
lAllatoona Pass. And so it was from
A to z through the two companies

calliopes and if they said anything, i
was just ''God bless you boys" whil
the tears rolled down their wrink
led cheeks. There are different way
in which to say welcome. There wer
lseveral thousand companies in 1876
like the two mentioned above.
