vaHced Ten Points.

The conspicuous heroes of the Span
ish war have at last received their re-
wards for gallantry. The President
has signed the commissions of those
officers whose promotions have been
confirmed by the Senate.
Hobson has been advanced ten num-
bers, which places him fifth in the list
of captains of naval construction. His
ranking officers are Rear Admiral
Hichborn. and Captains Hanscom,
Bowles and Linnard. His advance
ment is greater than that of any other
officer in either branch of the service
except Governor General Wood, of Ha-
vana, and Bell. one of the new Briga-
der Generals. In jumping from the
rank of lieutenant to that of captain,
Hobson passes those of lieutenant
commander. and if he were in the line
he would 90 over the heads of 700 or
500 of his comrades. He entered the
rank in 1888, aud will rank above men

crease in his pay will be comparatively
small. His prospects for speedily
reaching the summit of his corps are
thus excellent. Clarion Ledger.

o heart of mine, we shouldn't
Worry SO!
What we've missed of calm we couldnt
Have, you know!
What we've met of stormy pain,
And of sorrows driving rain,
We can better meet again,
If it blow.
We have erred in that dark hour
We have known,
When the tears fell with the shower,
All alone
Were not shine and shower blent
As the Gracious Master meant?
Let US temper our content
With his own.
For we know, not every morrow
Can be sad:
SO, forgetting all the sorrow
We have had,
Let US fold away our fears,
And put by our foolish tears,
And through all the coming years
Just be glad.

The supreme court of Louisiana has
officially declared that drunkenness
does not excuse a crime. The judges
opinion was given in the following
words:
"Where party in possession of his
mind enters into voluntary drunken
debauch he is not legally eXcusable for
homicide which lie commits during
its continuance, and while in condi-
ton of drunkenness, even though this
drunkenness may be such, at the time
of the commission of the homicide, as
to render his mind incapable of know
ing right from wrong. If the debauch
be one continuing voluntary drunken
debauch, starting with the sanity of
the party engaged in it, the mere length
of time the debauch may extend over
is immaterial. Drunkenness for week
no more excuses Il homicide commit
ted as its immediate and direct result
than drunkenness for an hour. Judg
