Mnrvelous Pigeon Flights.

Tegctmeier, the great authority on

200 birds from Bf:ssels. They were
tossed at the Crystal palace at noon,
and telegram was sent off announcing
the time at which they were released.
The birds reached their loft before the

CUBAN CAMPAIGN STORY,
A Native Cook Who ODeyed His Amer
lean Masters Orders Too
Literally.

"Apropos Of the hardships of our boys
in Cuba" said an officer who saw a good
deal Of duty on the island, I'll tell you
bit of Il story. Shortly after our rcgi.
ment went on duty near Santiago, at
the beginning of Woods administration
as governor, we began to be able to take
little better care OF ourselves than
we had done throughout the campaign.
One of our captains--I won't mention
his name, for he's sore about this affair
was n great crank Oh the subject OF
microbes, and took extraordinary pains
to avoid their society. He had picked
up raw Cuban for a cook, and gave
him the most explicit orders to boil all
the water used in the mess, no matter
where he got it. Boil everything we
drink he said, 'or I'll kick your back
bone through the top of your hat The
Cuban promised faitf. fully, and obeyed
the order to the letter.
~ week or SO afterward the captain,
wlile foragipg about town. was pre-
sentcd with a quart bottle of cham
pagnc from one of the ships. He was
overioyed, and, securing small lump
of ice, he hustled back to camp and
turned over his prizes to his cook. I
want you to get up something extra
good to-day he said, for I am going to
ask a few friends to dinner to help
drink this wine At the appointed hour
the party assembled, and after serving
repast of stewed beef and sweet po-
tatocs the cook stalked in, carrying a
steaming saucepan half full of mud
dy-looking yellow liquid. What in
thunder is that?' asked the captain.
That's th' wine, senor,' replied the Gu
ban, gravely. 4 boil i'm good deal,
an e mos all 60 way. The guests
roared with laughter, and the captain
was SO thunderstruck he couldn't say a
word. He subsequently recovered HIM
self sufficiently to grab cleaning rod
and chase the Cuban nearly half mile.
After that all anybody had to do to
get a fight was to say boiled cham
pagne.' When I left the wound still
yankled."-N. o. Times-Democrat.

1t. IA soft answer turneth av.v
wrath" but they are not soft in these
parts. "When mans ways please
the Lord He maketh even his enemies
to be at peace with him." but his WAYS
don't seem to please tie Lord in Cur
tersviile, for his enemies are not at
peace with him. The great question
mere is not about drinking or selling
whisky, but is about the right of q
man to order a bottle or a Jug from
Atlanta for his private use or for
medicinal purposes; and its agitation
and dcnunciation has made as mucn
talk as the mag,,a charta, and both
sides declare they will take it to tn.
supreme court of the United States OF
North America aud the Philippines.
Then, again, Hon. Pope Brown, the
Jealous president Of the State Agricul-
tural society, says the state will not
prosper any mol e until the negroes are
sent away or c>lonized; but if they
won't 60, what Is to be done about it !?
lie says that education has ruined the
negro as laborer, but how is it to be
stopped? The rich fools at the north
keep on dying and leaving money to
negro schools, and our law makers
keep on making appropriations for
them and taxing us to educate them
to oppose our people and to take sides
with our political enemies, who are
killing negroes in Indiana because they
want work.
And now the war party want negroes
to 60 to the Philippines and fight other
negroes. That would be q good deliv-
erance all round. but l don't believe
they will 60 to any extent. The niger
is in the woodpile, and he is here to
stay. Let l.im stay as long as he be-
haves, and If they won't behave and
be good citizens they will suffer in the
flesh. Our people are tired fooling with
them, and are desperately in earnest.
reskon we can get up excursions and
take all the bad ones to Indiana and
drop them. They will go on an excur-
