By Way of Saving Space.

Stonewa1l Jackson had small mercy
on soldiers whom he caught struggling
but is said to have laughingly con-
doned one instance. During forced
march in the summer of 1862 he stop
ped to consult with one of his general
officers. The entire command had
then passed; and, as Jackson and his
officers rode forward to rejoin the col
umn, the former discovered a private
up a persimmon tree. Asked by the
commander why he was so far in the
rear, the private replied:
"Eatin' simmons
."Persimmons!" roared Jackson.
"Why, they're not even ripe yeti"
Like 'em green Just now" ex-
planned the soldier.
''And why?" asked Jackson, soften
ing a little with amusement at the
fellows .laconic manner.
ITO draw my innards up to 1T ny

Selecting Monuments.


The Vicksburg Battlefield Monu
ment commission is well satisfied with
the work accomplished during state
fair week, as all the Ohio organiza-
lions taking part in the siege of Vicks-
burg, with the exception of the Eighty
third regiment, made selections OF
monuments. The committees from
the regiments and batteries expressed
themselves as well pleased with the
designs shown, and among so many
it was. difficult to make selection.
When the monuments shall have been
completed the commission will invite
all the committees to go to the works
at Clyde and make an inspection OF
the work. The regiments and the
number of the design selected by each
are as follows: Sixteenth regiment,

his breast;
Just a boy who kept his courage to the

And the bugle song is mellow in the

And the muffled drum is drumming In

For it's honor for the soldier, and It's
laurels for his head.
And it's praises for his daring-when the

Just a soldier lying dead-and the carp

When he fell upon the altar every critic
was his friend.
With the folded flag about him, and the
medal cleaning there,
Then the praise is quick in coming, and
the soldier has his share
For it's honor for the soldier when he
dies beside his gun,
And it's medals for his coff1n-when the

And it's eulogy and plaudit. when he's

Come the men with brush and chisel;

While they live, the praise and medal is

reason is from sheer lunacy. It is in
exact accord with what President Nc
Kin1ey said in his second letter OF ac-

1t is our purpose to establish in the
Philippines a government suitable to
the wants and conditions of the inha-
bitants and to prepare them for self
government when they are ready for it
and as rapidly as they are ready for it
This has been the consistent l1nvary

In other days the Place Bertin, the
waterfront or 1evee of St. Pierre, was a
wide, stone-paved way, with trees along
its shoreWard side, and a farrow-gauge
tramway running over it to transport
passengers or sugar-bags. Now it has
1urched forward, and slid into the sea.
There is a distance of not more than
fifteen feet between the cutter from
which we have jus. landed, to the line
of yellow, shattered houses. Fathom
upon fathom of wire rope and link
cable is strung along the beach, wash
ed close against the house; and held
there in a tangle of iron beams and
braces. In some places the stone paw
ing has been torn up and hurled with
the cable against the houses. Drift
wood is seen half-buried in the sand
which here and there covers the hagg-
ing to depth of four or five feet. A
large buoy, weighing at least half a ton
is jammed in a doorway, the sturdy
chain which anchored it trailing behind
it into the water. The warehouses
facing the lee were called upon to hear
not only the volcanic blast, but the fury
of the waters. which rose in mountain
ors wave and leaped upon them
What distinct damage this inflicted is
not evident, but when the wave reced-
ed, it dragged back with it great quaint
tiles of shattered masonry and sand,
and strewed the levee with them.
Northward and southwsrd the sea has
encroached upon the land, in some
places tapping at the foundations of
walls that once were at least twenty
five feet beyond its reach. At one
point a crazy mass of stone marks the
shore end of pier but the tagged
way which led to it has sunk, into the
beach. A few feet beyond it, tip-tllted
md firmly bedded in the sand, is a
;afe, its door gaping-t1ie doors of all
he safes in St. Pierre are agape and
he bodies of nine 1ooting devils lie
inder an arch which SPINS the Roxe
ane and its contents some.

Special Cablegram to Boletin Mercantil ,

New York, June I6th.--The Cana

this morning, with great earnestness
Senator Morgan made brilliant spec b
in which he attacked the resolution
giving the President authority to decide
on the preferable route. He stated
that the Administration was largely to
blame for the status of the Canal ques-
ton, and that the opinion of the Com
mittee to the effect that the Panama
title was a good transferable one, had
been dictated by the Presiden'. He
was followed by supporters of the ad
ministration, and a great uproar follow
ed. Public attention all over the Unior
is centred in the Canal debate, and ths
weight Of opinion seems to be that thi:
question has parted the ranl S of the
Administration. The debats will b.
continued all the week.
