San Fernando. P. l., June IS, 1885,
Dear Father: The United States trans
port Grant arrived here yesterday, the
2Sth.. from San Francisco, bringing
among its cargo mail. Today our mail
came from Manila on the train. re-
ceived your letters, one of the 23d and
the other of the Goth. 1t is the one
thing that comes into soldiers life
to cheer. and enliven him. He thus
learns what is taking place back at the
old home, and that amid all the cares
and pleasures he is still remembered.
You ask whether l have to pay any
postage on mail from you. No, / do
not. Letters come to the soldier for
two cents and our letters should go to
You for the same if they bear the sig
nature of an officer. l' RninrgF:
I will send you Manila paper, the
Freedom, which gives an account Oh
the campaign from Malolos to San
Fernando. 1t is the best account L

account Of what took place.

There is u rumor here that "Agg;e'

Precautions are being taken to meet
the attack should it be made. We were
up at a. M, had breakfast and were
in readiness to move should a break
be made. One thing sure, if "Aggie"
does come down here and attempt TO
take San Fernando he is going to run
il to as big hornets nest as he ever
struck. If he would bring his entire
army and make a fight, there might
be some hope of ending this business,

Probably it is not generally known n
manufacturing chemists in the United
States that this country has vast re-
sources in Hthium mineral which have
never been exploited, says a writer in
the Engineering and Mining Journal.
Llthium is classed as one of the rare Gle

rare In occurrence or commerce. We do
not know what their usefulness might
be II their supply were large and cheap,
but at present the use of lithium salts.

the preparation of lithia water, which
is used extensively for medicinal DUR

SHE NEEDED s1LVERWARR.
That Was Why She Celebrated Her
silver Wedding without
Husband.

"A South side woman whose name is
not Mrs. Jones has created a veritable
sensation in large circle of acquaint-
ances. On the face of it, says the Chi
cago Tribune, there was nothing to ex-
cite her friends when they received an
invitation to help her celebrate the
twenty-fifth anniversary of her we'd
ding. But as matter of fact her
friends all supposed that she and her
husband had been separated for several
years; consequently the invitation set
all the gossiping tongues to wagging
furiously.
"Humph!" said one woman; $50 she's
made up with that old skinflint! I'd
see myself doing that! Why, I'd rather
starved"
She swore she'd never live with him
again, and l heard her with my own

Dead" added third. "He died some

years ago."
Naturally the women could not stand
the suspense, and the very next dav

Mrs. Jones, determined 10 solve the
mystery of friendly call ard an offer
to help in the celebration. g soon as
possible they began to cC:glatulate

commission" and it seems natural that
the landsman should ask: What does
the phrase mean?
The term, says the New York Trib-

the statement of a shipping firm, when
used in connection with merchantmen.

or laid up" and the term lin com
mission" is not applied to her except
by such people as they who go up
stairs" and "downstairs'' oil a ship.
AS to yachts, the same authority said:
when the owner raises his private
signal and has commander and crew
aboard, the yacht is in commission, and
this does not happen until the vessel is
in condition to go on cruise"
War vessels are in commission when
the commanding officers flag or pen
nant has been hoisted al the main, and
this again indicates that the vessel is
in active service.
