Now ISM Z 1T really curious;
And doesn't it show the futIity
OF warning against the Injurious
Effects Of mixed sOciabihty,
When a girl who, with greatest facility.
Could have captured and wed a mucn
finer man,
And ended her days in tranquility,
Expresses her love for a Chinaman?
What makes me so terribly furious
Provol les me almost to scurrility-
Is noting that foreigners spurious
limitations of social civihty.
L co not deny his utility
Nor WilfulN would malign a man,
Till a lady with Grass iubecility
Expresses her love for q. Chiuaman.
She says that his grace is luxurious;
But it S only an air Of SerVf.Ity,
Like that of a. common usuriOuS
Dispenser of loans to ncbiity5
He's wholly devoid of virility.
To prison I al gladly consign man
When a girl with such facile docility
Expresses her love for a Chinaman.

Dresden pOtters who could so design a
man,
That my lady with great volubility
Expresses her love for a china man.

During the debate in the house Of

During the debate in the house Of
representatives on the naval appropri-
alton bill Mr.. Berry of Kentucky re-
ferred to the long standing contro-
versy between Admirals Sampson
and Schley and said it was still the
evident purpose of the naval depart
ment to confer the highest honor upon
the man who was "fal thest way"
at the battle of Santiago. Mr.. Berry
read Admiral Simpsons alleged re-
cent letter to Secretary Long as to
the inadvisability of giving warrant
officers in the navy commissions on
account of their lack of social re fine
ment. Mr.. Berry said that Admiral
Sampson was of extremely humble
origin himself and whatever refine
ment he had obtained had been due
to his service in the American navy.
By contrast he recalled Admiral
Schley's action during the stress of
battle in sending word to those below
that "all went well'' and when the
battle was over, in saying that the
victory belonged to the ''men behind
the guns"
