A HIGH COMPLIMENT

Paid by an Eng ishman to the Fourth I'm
mune-.
The Tri- Weekly Cleaner, of Kings
ton, Jamaica, under date Of January
18th, has the following communication
from an Englishman, concerning the
Fourth regiment Of Immunes, at Man
zanillo, Cuba, of which regiment Capt.
A. A. Franzheim's company forms a
part:
THE ALERICA AN ARMY N CUEA.
The Editor of the Cleaner.
Strive have heard deal of late
about the American army, especially
the volunteers. l was in Manzanillo
a few days ago; the Fourth United
States volunteers, a Virginia regiment
is quartered there. l observed them
closely, both officers and men.
/ must say the regiment is a splendid
one, and would lie a credit to any army
The physique of them is grand, faI
above that of the British infantry OF
the Line. | should say half the men
are quite to the British Foot Guards.
OF course, the men are not SO well
set up, nor do they move with the
machine-like precision of the British
regulars, but that cannot be expected
the regiment having only been raised
about seven months, during which tins
it has made wonderful progress, which
is no doubt due to the intelligence OF
the Americans.
| must say | was surprised when
saw the regiment on parade. | could
hardly believe that such excellent re
suits had been obtained in seven
months.
The conduct of the men inthe streets
is admirable, quite equal to that of the
very best conducted regiment in the
British army.
may say have seen a good part o.
the British army having been quar-
tered at Aldershot with $4,000 men, and
having been encamped at Salisbury
plains with some $4,000 men.
The American and British soldier
would make grand soldiers in arms
both having exactly the same senti-
ments and military qualifications.
The West Point officers in Cuba keep
up their reputation Of being second tC
none in the world. They are splendid
drills, quite equal to the very best
British adjutants.
The first l saw was the captain of q
think K company; he was a splendid
drill, and a smart man, at the same
time, | saw he was a bit Of a mar,
tinet.
Manzanillo is, am told, under mar
tial law. One would not think SO
under the mild and paternal rule OF
Col Petit
Every American feels grateful tc
England for having caused the other
European nations to stand aside during
the war. All are in favor of an Anglo
American understanding, against the
balance Of the world.

spirits of these deluded paganS
would be released from their
bondage and sent to the kingdom
of heaven, if at twelve O clock on
a Christmas eve. when the moon
should be at her meridian. some
priest would have the courage and
piety to come alone to this music

water. But alas it has never
been done. These poor heather
souls are still in captivity, and
their pitiful wall rises al Intervals
from beneath the gurgling waters:
Such Is one of these accounts OF
the " Mysterious Music"
The most generally accepted,
the true Indian tradition, tells OF
a tribe called the Biloxi, who
were formerly in possession OF the
larger part of the Southwest. Like
the famous Natchez Indians, they
bad attained a high degree of
civilization. While making steps
in the direction of culture they
lost their fierce and warlike hab-
its. After long struggle they
were conquered by the barbarous
hordes pressing in from the west.
Driven from one portion after an
other of their territory, they made
a final stand upon the bord ers o
PascagouIa hay. Here they erect
ed a fortress and prepared for a
seige. long and fearful was the
conflict. Famine and disease
finally entered the ranks Of the
defenders. Death or surrender
stared them in the face. They
chose the former At moment
when their assailants had with
drawn. they threw open their
gates and marched down to the
brink of the water. After a short,
stirring address from their aged
chief, men, women and children,
chanting their death-song, plung-
ed into the river. None survived.
The strange, sweet music of Pas
cagoula is said to be the echo OF
their last melancholy strains.
If there are persons who. too
wise and incIedulous to believe
these legendary accounts, insist
upon inquiring, " What is the real
cause Of the mysterious muslc|

assurance that no one knows. 1t

However, while there is no GER

as to the occasion of such a phe-

grottos and assures which abound
beneath the surface of the river,
But the most probable solution of
the matter is a theory that these
sounds are produced by a
school Of peculiar fish. The fact
that noise of any kind i'm
mediately puts an end to the
music would seem to corrobOrate
this explanation. Yetmany OBJ
jections and reasons have been
raised against it, and the matter
stands where it was at first,
shrouded in mist, doubt and
speculation.
The people resent all attempt
at scientific explanation and cling,
with true poetic instinct, to the
legendary accounts. For the
music, as it now stands
Is enveloped by thousand rare
chaams. The mists of superstl-
ton render it touchingIy thrilling.
Oh what treat it is to hear this
weird music!

Of Interest to Southerners.

One of the greatest needs OF the
Southland has, for many years,
been a magazine devoted to its
literary, commercial, industrial
and agricultural development.
To meet this want, some enter
prising young men of Gulfport
are prepareing TO issue a monthly
entitled " Down South.
One specially Of the literary de-
partment Will be articles concern
inc points of historic interest in
the South. stories and legends of
war, Indians, Southern pirates,
early Spanish and French settle
ments. and incidents of typical
Southern life. Preference will
be given to Southern writer's, and
in this way, many unknown au
thors of talent will have fair op
portunity of demonstrating gen
Jus.
The opening issue is to have a
circulation of 5000, but It's firmly
believed that the many advant-
ages this periodical will offer can
not fail to meet the approval of
the general public.
1t is the purpose of the editors
to secure a large subscription list
in the North. both in order that
our Northern neighbors may have
opportunity to become more
closely acquainted with onr liter
ary ability, and the picturesque
nature of Southern scenery, and
that the Southern man may have
medium for advertising the com
mercial and industrial adyant
ages of his section.
The outside cover of the maga
zine will always contain a typical
Southern scene, in half-tone:
like Illustrations will be found at
close intervals within its pages.
The initial number will appear
during the first week OF August.

cerning the circulation. Mr.. ); !;
