THIS QUEER OLD WORLD.

It is queer how things go by contraries here 'Tis always too cold or too hot, And the prizes we miss, you know, always ap-
 pear
 To be better than those that we've got. It is always too wet or too dusty and dry, And the land is too rough or too flat; There's nothing that's perfect beneath the
 blue sky It's a pretty good world for all that Some people are born but to dig in the soil, 4 nd sweat for the bread that they eat, While some never learn the hard meaning of
 toil,
 And live on the things that are sweet. A few are too rich and lot are too poor, And some are too lean or too fat Ah, the hardships are many that men must
 endure
 It's a pretty good world for all that The man who must think envies them that
 must be
 Ever pounding and digging for men, And the man with the pick would be happy if
 he
 Might play with the brush or the peni All things go by contraries here upon earth; Life is empty and sterile and flat; Man begins to complan on the day of his
 birth
 It's pretty good world for all that

Shamokin, Pa, March s. Banks, stores and the postoff1ce in this city have been flooded with counterfeit sil- yer dollars bearing dates of 1879. 1882 and 1884 and having such a good ring that bank officials who sent some of the dollars to the national treasury for ex- change think the coins contain more sil- yer than the genuine money. None of the banks will receive dollars bearing the above dates until the matter is in vestigated by secret service agents.

Ratification of Treaty Expected.


 Washington, March s.-Although no information on that point has yet reached Washington, the authorities are confident that the new Spanish cab inet will secure the ratification of the peace treaty. It is believed with all confidence that the new cabinet in- tends to devote itself principally to in- ternal reforms; that 1t perceives the in- jury that would be inflicted on Span ish trade by senseless opposition to the treaty. and that it will not countenance the continuance of the present unsatis- factory relations between the United States and Spain. It is pointed out that, the cortes having adjourned, it Is again within the power of the queen re- gent, under the terms of the treaty it. self, to ratify that document without further reference to the cortes, and 1t may be that the new cabinet has de- cided on some such plan as this.

| som from Mnarfu-rtitDusters nun n- ko uipaIdo-Further Trouble at the waterwork. Expected. Manila, March S.-General Hale de- | termined yesterday to clear away the | enemy from in front of the right of his wing.
 The gunboat Laguna de Bay. under Major Grant. began smelling the enc my's position. Two companies of the Twentieth infantry and three compa- nies of the First Nebraska, under Colo nel Statenburg, swung in from the road to the waterworks, driving the insur- gents toward the Pasig river. The First Wyoming advanced direct ly on the insurgent position in front Meanwhile the Laguna de Bay pound- cd the foe from the river. Thus taken on three sides. the insur- gents, after some resistance, were driv- en back.
 Captain J. D. O'Brien of the First Wyoming was shot in the wrist. and Major Bell of the bureau of informa- tion was slightly wounded. Complete reports of the wounded are not yet in.
 General Hale estimates the enemy's loss at 250.
 At the time of sending this dispatch the Wyoming troops occupied an ad- vanced position.
 The insurgents opened fire across the river from Guadaloupe. killing Private Lovejoy of Company c, First Washing ton, and wounding two others.
 The insurgent losses have been se- were the last few days.
 The Madrid authorities have offered Aguinaldo a ransom of $,000 for each officer, $100 each for the privates and $500 for each civil servant. They have not offered to ransom the priests.
 Aguinaldo declares that he has paid hlibusters s700.o0o and has received on- Nv 800 rifles and 2,000. 900 rounds of ann munition. The fiilibusters say the rest nave been captured. but probably they were never bought.
 Filipino Treachery.
 The Filipinos in front of General Ov- enshine's line sent out flag of truce yesterday morning, but retired when Lieutenant Koohler, with two men. ad- yanced to meet it. Again yesterday aft ernoon they showed a white flag, and a general, with two officers and an in- terpreter, advanced.
 When the Americans were within about 200 yards of the rebel party the
  backs and opened fire upon them. but fortunately without effect. Hawthorne's battery fired two shells, killing several of the enemy.
 The rebels are preparing defenses at various points and are most aggressive near San Pedro Macati, where their sharpshooters maintain a persistent an noyance Scott's battery on the hilltop is the cepter of fire from both sides of the river.
 General Hale withdrew his outposts from the left bank of the stream and is now occupying his original position
 Further trouble is probable in the vii cinity of the waterworks when the reb- els rally, but it would be almost an im- possibility for them to interfere with the water supply owing to the strength of our position.
 The weather yesterday was several degrees hotter.
