Notes From Manila.
Apalit Philippine Islands
SO miles from Manila.

Province of Pampanga.
Well, received a letter from YOU
before l left MaIolos, from which
place we marched on early morning
of April 18th. All day :2!4th of Apr
we were under marching orders and
on morning Of 25th we started, the
Kansas and Montana Regiments
and one Battery 9Th ARTILLERY, and
Utah Battery, called Gen Wheat,
on's Brigade, composed the firing
inc. We were compelled to c%mp Il
mile ahead, owing to the tarlincsS
in the arrival Of the deStrurtlo"
car, which had on it l llotchklFs, {
Gattling and Rapid Fire guns.
This train was 1 fiat cars, whlcE
were boxed in with railroad rails to
protect the gunm RS, anl also j.
sharp shooters. On the morning
Of 2Gth we started for good march
and from the railroad to the rIght,
the entire Mountains regiment went
into a skirmikh line audOn the 9th
er side TO the left the Kansas regi-
mcnt did the same. | enclose a
map sketch which will guide you
somewhat on our way. The march
on the Goth was from the camp
marked to bridge OH Calumplt
River marked !, whicI, WAS Il most
wonderfully fortified place, as We
found it ont to be, two attempts
were made but we were not proper
ly prepared to take the bridge. The
destruction car had no engine but
was pushed along by Cinnamon
hired for the purpose, they moving
along continuously with us. We
found no trouble until we reached
the point near bridge where have
the train marked, then the 4 large
guns turned loose upon the enemy,
before they SAW MS and and it was
an awful bombarding, shot after
shot was poured upon their trenches
and we were then lined up again to
pour volleys upon them. A few thou
synd yards ON Our right was Gen.
Hale's Brigade consisting of Nebras'
ka and South Dakota and 9Th Ar.
tillery. They were very unlucky as
they lost quite number Of men and
Several wounded. Our regiments
were more lucky as we had very
few even hurt.
We took the bridge No and ]
never imagined such heavy intrcnch-
mcnts could be made in SO flat a
country, these Tugalos arc smart
and cunning but lack the staying
faculty,Were We fighting Europeans
they having such Notifications as
these people erected, We could new
er run them away from them.
Imagine it, we OIL one side of Calum-
pit river, IS yards across, these
nig9ers behind entertainments seven
feet thick and made CT heavy bam-
boo and SOD and then getting out
Of them and running away while we
slaughtered them. We sent los
dead to the happy home right in the
trencles,-suc awful sights we do

NEW EVERY MORNING

Every day Is a fresh beginning,
Every morn Is the world made new;
You who are weary of sorrow and Sill
ming.
Here is beautiful hope for YOU
a hope for Ele and hope for you.
All the past things are past and over;
The tasks are done and the tears shed.
Yesterdays errors let yesterday cover;
Yesterdays wounds, which smarted
and bled,
Are healed with the healing which
night has shed.
Yesterday now is part of forever,
Bound up i'm a sheaf which God holds
tight,
With glad days and sad days and bad
days, which never
S.lall visit us more with their bloom
or their blight,
Their fullness of sunshine or sorrow-
full night.
Let them go, since we cannot relive
them,
God in his mercy receive, forgive them
Only the new days are our OVID;
Today is ours and today alon'.
Here are the ski S, all FURNISHED brightly,
Here is the spent earth all reborn;
Here are the tired limbs springing lightly
To face the sun and share the morn
In the chrism of dew and cool CT dawn.
Every dsy is a fresh beginning;
Listen, my soul to the glad refrain,
And in spite of old sorrow and older
SHINING,
And puzzles forecasted and possible
pain, -
Take heart with the day and begin
again. Susan Cooli &c.

The readers of this paper will
be plea sed to learn that there is
at least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in
all IT'S stages, and that is Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure known to the medi-
cal fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the sys-
tenn, thereby destroying the
foundation Of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing it's work.
The proprietors have so much
faith in it's curative powers, that
they have offered One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails
to cure. Send for list of testi-

The stormy retrel:; nest just above the

the licbridCS. There above the rock OF,
certain islands in :! black, butt~gy soil, l.,
which they Eurrow like winged niiCc, each
one will lay enc white c-S.
As this dcscrtiun of the regions cf light
ana air by birds is something outside ,:::'
natural course of their lives, it leads Z,
various odd and unexpected social compli
! cations and domestic problems.
Among the latter is Il serious one, the
difficulty of keeping the underground
house clean or moderately cool II is usu-
ally very hot. Sand martins, for instance,
do not attempt to rcntilatc their burrows
as rabbits and rats do, neither do king
fishers nor the stormy retrcls when they
make their own burrows and do not cree,
into chinks between pile; of stones or
rocks. Evidence of the high tclnrcraturu
of this hot chamber" where the young
pctrcls are Matched is seen i'll II very pretty
popular belief in the outer IcbridnS
The people say that they hatch their
eggs not by sitting on them, but BY sit
ting near them, ut {. distance Of six inches,
between th%n and the opening OF the bur
row. Then the rctr,ls ti!rn their head,

song" This which sounds like u fable
OF the east Atlantic islands, has really a
! basis in fact. Mr.. Davenport Graham
says that the account is very correct.
Though 1 never heard the cooling Eois2 by
day, often did in tho evening. IL is
rather Il purring noise. When its nest IS
opened up, the bird is usually found COW
cring few inches away from its egg. -
| This hot and stutry atmosphere may aid
the Matching of the eggs, but there is TO
doubt that it brings into being other and
very undesirable forms of life. The nests
| and burrows of sand martins arc full Of
most unpleasant insects, and those Of the
kingtisher are nearly as bad.
