the pursuit of Pemberton's army. Gen.

Gen Grant informed Gen Blair that
SHERMAN is ordered to Bridgeport with
his corps. He will probably arrive this
morning; move to the same point with your
division, and take the pontoon train with

To Gen. Sherman he wrote: 81 will

Seed Time and Harvest.

4 good time to think most seriously of
the harvest Is seed time. The decision you
make then will determine the value of your
crops later. Thousands of seed sewers in all
sections of the country SOW Ferry'S famous
seeds year after year, and have the satisfac-
tlon of good harvests to justify their con
tinGed faith in the Ferry firm. They pay a
few cents more at seed time. but realize
many dollars in better crops at the harvest.
The natural consequence of this confidence
is an ever increasing business. ID. NJ. Ferry
* Co. sent out last year more seeds than
any other seed house in the world. The 1902
catalogue Of this house Is now ready and will

fThe Manila Critic1

| NtHe Hanlla Orltlc.D
| Spain did not build so badly after all
While there are many things in Manila to
condemn, there is much to admire. When
Magellanes anchored in Manila Bay, over
three centuries ago, and took possession
of the Philippine Archipelago in the name
of his flag, he cast his lot among savages
tribes that rivaled the American Apache
and Comanche in thirst for blood.
Spain, then in the zenith of glory, sent
her missionaries, her priests and friars,
and commenced the work, built parochial
schools and churches. seized property and
heritages, bred internal strife, and wiped
tribes Oft the map; still Spain ruled and
Manila grew. Manila proper was walled
to keep out warning elements, stand earth
quakes and knock out the typhoOn. Casas
and business buildings were erected VIII
great base walls of stone, topped with
great awnings that Tapped the sidewalks,
ana there was reason for 1t, too. The ge-
mus OF the umbrella man was then UNI
known, and the jutting caves gave protec-
ton from the fierce blasts of rain, which
last from four to six months of the year.
AS the Critic has before printed, the Phil
ippine group has but two seasons, wet
and dry. and, while both have their bene-
fits, both have their terrorS-the wet sea
son furnishing the earthquake and ty
phoon, and the dry season the tOrTid, tan
talizing sun; hence the arching caves are
great things in their way. All this is by
way OF explanation, for walks about Ma
Mia suggest that these same caves have
great rents, which let great waters fall
upon the unfortunate man without
quicz during the rainy season, and they
also suggest that there is a great work
for Senior Alcjandriuo, the successor of
Scnor Hinkle, as building inspector, to do
Nevertheless, Spain had rewarding
nature; so, also, has Uncle Sam. Spain |
gave Manila the Luneta, and Uncle Sam |
wiped off the knOlls and artificial noun |
ANS that obsCured it. Honors in this re-
'pect are more than even, for Uncle Sam |
las proven to be progressive. Without
'urthcr righteousness, it is but just to give
'rcdit where credit is due. Manila, the
real handiwork of Spain, hOnors Magel-
