rassment Billy's wish was tnat the COLO
mel were fifty miles away. 1t was fate
and a hard one, thought he, that
brought him there-an everpresent re-.
.proach. 1t was luck of the worst kind
that they should be confronted under
such circumstances, since neither could
retreat. He submitted in anxious
silence to the keen, quick examination
of the skillful surgeon in charge and
to the redressing of his wound. He
could have been proud and happy but
for that shadow on his life, of which
Armstrong; presence would so con-
stantly remind him. He could not even
think how his dear old dragoon daddy
would rejoice in the congratulations
that would surely greet him when the
story of the brave dash of the -teenth,
Billy among the foremost, should
reach the states. He could not even
dream how it might affect her-Amy
Lawrence. He was beginning to be
ashamed now in this presence to think
how that other-how Margaret Gar
rison might be impressed, forgetting
that, to the army girl who has lived
long years on the frontier, tales of
heroism are the rule, not the exception.
He wondered how long it could be be-
fore she would come to him to bring
him comfort. Surely by this time she
knew that he had been seriously, pain
fully wounded. lie did not know, how
ever, that at the very first sound of
battle Frost had bundled the sisters
to the transports. Yet, what comfort
could her visit bring to him with that
stern censor lying there, seeing and
hearing all? Billy Gray that Monday
night could almost have wished that
Armstrong; slumber might be eternal,
never dreaming that before a second
Monday should come he would thank
heaven with grateful heart for Arm
strong's presence, vigilance and inter
vention.
In three days the colonel was able to
sit up. Within the week he was per-
mitted to take air and exercise in the
spacious court of the old college, his
sword arm in it's sling. But Cray and
the young officer of volunteers were too
seriously wounded to leave their pill
lows. The -teenth had occupied a new
line far south of the old one; but, 1T one
time, several of Billy's brother officers
had dropped in to see him and tell him
regimental news; and one of them, the
young West Pointer who had broken
down at sight of the dl Eace that
stirring Sunday morning. I'D him of
Latrobe's soldier funeral and of Gen.

cause of the sectional differences be-
tween the north and south. The scheme
involved the immediate construction of
four ships of the Great Eastern class,
to regularly run between southern and
European ports. Their great value as
auXiliaries to our military resources
were then clearly pointed out, as well
as their usefulness as nurseries for
American seamen who would be ready
to respond to their country's call if
needed. No wonder, in these circum-
stances, Mi. Edmunds in his speech
made it very clear that the revival of
our foreign-g going shipping is not Sec
tional or partisan question, but is q
purely industrial, commercial aud aux
iliary naval question. He said: Orig

about $40O, 900, 900 worth of foreign ex-
ports a year, shipped almost exclusive
ly in vessels that fly the British, Ger
man and other foreign flags, the south
may well be deeply concerned in the
upbuilding of merchant marine be-
cause of the magnitude of its present
export trade" This trade he expected
would rapidly multiply, and he pre-
dicted cotton crop in the not distant
future of 100, ,O00, 900 bales.
1t is not surprising to find that both
of the great political parties are now
vying with each other in their espousal
of an American merchant marine. That
the representative men in both parties
have formally and finally rejected the
suggestion of free ShipS'-which
means the purchase of British instead
of American-built ships for our mari
time needs-may be taken as an indi-
cation of both the conservatism and
progressiveness which augurs well for
early effective and permanent legisla-
tion in behalf of our too long neglected
shipping upon the seas. 1t is this una
nimity of sentiment that is converg-
ing upon demand for such legislation
that will have become so insistent and
imperative as to compel such legisla-
tion at the next session of congress.

WINNERS AND LOSERS.

Ae man who quits at the first rebuff
Is one of the men who fail;
And the man who deems three Efforts
enough
Is one of the men who fall
,Che man who believes down in his heart.
That he never was born to sway,
Or to go to the front in leading part
To rise o'er the crowd, some day
Is one of the men who fail!
,Che man who labors but for himself
IS one of the men who fail;
No matter how vast his piles of pelf,
He is one of the men who fail!
Che man who has never enjoyed the thrill
That follows kindness shown
Has never won, and he never WILL
Though the earth were all his own,
He would still be doomed to fall
The man who never gives up is one
OF the lucky men" that win.
Who believes that his best has never been
done
Is one of the men that win;
Che man who has faith in himself and
stands
Forever ready to try
Whatever men do with heads or with
hands
Will be numbered, by and by.
AS one of the men that win.
The man who praises wherever he can
Is one of the men that win;
who raises the hope of his fellow man
Is one of the men that win
A. man may shiver and starve alone,
And die al the foot of the hill;
But II he has loved and If he has known
What a chid's love is he still
Is one of the men that win

PRISON BABIES.
The Little Newcomers Always Gre
ate n FIutter of Excitement In
Their Gloomy BirthpIaces.

Very few people outside official cir
cles know what large number of ba-
bies are born every year in the infirm-
aries of prisons and penitentiaries, the
little people always causing quite
flutter of attentiyeness and excite
ment among female warders and pris-
oncrs alike.
Of course, there is a vast difference
in prisoners, and sometimes the per-
son least attentive to the prison baby
is the mother herself; but, on the 9th
CT hand, the general body of the wom-
en- prisoners make the most pathetic
efforts, by means of all manner of
trifling scraps and odds and ends, to
fabricate articles of wear and orna-
ment for the out-of-place stranger.
Quite three-fourths of the women
volunteer to tend it, and it is often the
case that the most refractory and diff
fcult of the prisoners soften and
greatly alter by being allowed to do
little things for it; indeed, it acts
throughout like a veritable ray of sun
shine among the whole of the poor
prisoners, who generally manage to
get themselves into great good humor
by suggesting as volubly as the prison
rules will permit fantastic names for
the child. Within a certain period of
their birth these children are taken
away from the mother and are tended
elsewhere with the utmost care and
manity.-Cincinnat Enquirer.

tering the United States, anu that for
eign commerce was causing cities of
other states to flourish while south
ern cities were falling into decay
Lieut.. NJ. +. Maury, famous for his
invaluable aids to mariners upon the
oceans, was impressed with the
immense benefits southern states
would derive from the establishment of
steamship lines between southern and
European ports. For many years he
urged the investment of southern cap
ital in such lines, showing the great
and growing power her rich foreign
commerce was giving to New York,
and deploring the fact that the south
was missing its opportunities to share
therein. He saw for Norfolk, Va, pos
sibilities of development which have
never been realized, but which it seems
possible are likely of fulfillment
through the growing scarcity of Euro
pean coal and the inevitable depend
ence of the world in the future for the
greater part of its coal supplies upon
the United States. In our trade with
other American republics Lieut. Maury
saw advantages even greater than
those possible through our CONNER
cial intercourse with Europe, and he
was never done urging upon the peo-
pie of the south the wisdom of gem
erousiy encouraging American mari
time development through the estab-
hshment of steamship lines to the West
Indies, Central and South America He
advocated ship canal across the
American isthmus and predicted enor-
mously beneficial results to our trade
and shipping to follow.
Away back in 1858 the assembly of
Virginia incorporated a $50,OOO,00
steamship line under the name of the
Atlantic Steam Ferry company, but

An EnterprisinE Merchant,

A town which has played its part
in history for more than hundred
years ought to be forgiven for being
a little sleepy by this time, although
its newer neighbors may be inclined
to poke fun at it. 1t is told that a
Bladensburg merchant was doing in
his store one day, when a little girl
came in with a pitcher and asked for
a quart of molasses. The merchant
yawDed, stretched himself, half opened
his eyes, and then said, in an injured
tone: "Weil, amt there nobody what
sells molasses in Bladensburg but me ?'

Cnstle Campbell.

There are few more picturesque spots
in Scotland than Dollar Glen, and no
more interesting ruin anywhere than
the grim old castle of the Campbeiis,
known in the olden time as Castle
Gloom. Once visited, the castle will
never be forgotten. 1t is not only beau
tiful for situation, adding might to the
majesty of the everlasting hills, but il
abounds with weird traditions that give
the added charm of romance. To visit
the glen by moonlight and to see the
bare walls of the castle cleaning white
through the trees, is to be filled with a
feeling of awe, that is in
tensified by the rushing of the water in
the deep, black chasms beneath. 1t is
a scene to uplift the soul-a glimpse
of nature in her widest and most i'm
pressive mood-and it is not surpris-
ing that every year an increasing num-
ber of visitors find their way to this
most beautiful part of the Ochils.--

BETTING ON COLORADO.
J. A. Sanders is Confident it Will Go
Republican.

New York, Sept .11.-That Colora-
do will go republican this fall is the
opinion of j. A. Sanders, who was a
member of the republican national
committee -four years ago, when the
state gave Bryan a majority of 1872, 600.
He has the courage of his convic-
tons, and is will to place his money
on the result in Colorado. as well as
on Kansas. which, he says, is certain
for Mckinley. On his way east Mr..
Sanders placed a bet of $4,000 to A..
900 on McKinley's election, and has
more money with which he is willing
to accommodate any rashly enthusiast
tic Bryanite on the same terms. He is
willing to put up $55 to $45 as often
as he can find a taker that Kansas will
be counted in the republican ranks.
Mr.. Sanders bases his prediction of
republican victory in Colorado on the
failure of Bryan's calamity prophecies
Of four years ago to materialize. and
the consequent satisfaction of the peo-
pie of the state, and declares that
among all classes there is a feeling
that the policy of the present admira-
ton has been a wise one and that the
foreign affairs of the country have
been astutely and profitably managed.
The suicidal policy of the democratic
party in Colorado will have much to
do with the result in hat state, he be-
lieves.
In his opinion many democrats who
favored the silver party four years ago
purely because they believed the poll
cy of that party to be to the interest
of Colorado as a silver state, have be-
come convinced of the fallacy of that
proposition, and will this year vote
the republican ticket The silver re-
publicans, he believes, are going back
to their old party, and will prove but a
discordant element which will do
more harm than good to the cause of
the silver leader.
The populists of the state will not
give the support expected by the demo-
Gratis by enough votes to weigh heavi-
ly in the balance.

Mr.. Reid is known over the state as

TWO ARE GUILTY

VICTED.

long to Them and Now Say They
Did Not Mean to-Case of Ben
O'NeaI on Trial This Afternoon

The jury in the case of George II.
Smith, charged with having stolen a
horse from Sam Phillips, last night
brought in a verdict of guilty. In the
other charge against Smith, that of
having stolen a horse from Terry Fee,
his attorney withdrew the plea of not
guilty and entered a plea in bar, to the
effect that through a defect in the in
for nation against Smith he could not
be tried on that charge. The court
has not yet ruled on that plea.
Smith was a small contractor on the
grade and he took up the Phillips
horse off the range and shipped it to
Omaha. In his defense he claimed
that he thought the horse belonged
to a brother contractor and that
through an arrangement with him he
had a right to take it. This did not
sound good to the jury.
The case of George Baker charged
with grand larceny. occupied all this
morning and in the end Baker was
found guilty. He worked for A. How
ard, a contractor, and took advantage
Of his opportunity to ride away with
a team and wagon belonging to Mrs.
Howard.
The demurrer in the case of Theo-
dore Katrina, Louis Kosmopolis and

cry, vas overruled and the trial of the
cases was set for next Thursday.
This afternoon Ben O'Neal is on
