of the British steamship Kara, when
he arrived in port yesterday.

the way in which he summed up the

The watersp6ut was met by the
Kara on Sunday morning last, short

one Of the number which were watched
with great interest by the people of
Cape May.
Though the officers and crew of the
Kara watched the waterspout with as
great interest as the residents OF the
summer resort, 1t was with feeling
other than delight.
The Kara was bound into port with
q valuable cargo of sulphur, and the
waterspout appeared at the end OF q
voyage free of incident.
When Sunday morning broke the

Suddenly, however, there appeared

THE SWORD OF ROBERT LEE.

Forth from it's scabbard pure and
bright,
Flashed the sword of Lee.
Far in the front Of the deadly fight
High Ger the brave in the cause OF
right,
Its stainless sheen like beacon light,
Led us to victory.
Out of it's scabbard, where full long
It slumbereo peacefully
Reused from it's rest by the battle song,
Shielding the feeble, .smiting the
strong.
Guarding the right, avenging the
wrong
Cleaned the sword of Lee.
Forth from it's scabbard high in air
Beneath Virginia sky
And they who saw it cleaning there
And knew who bore it, knelt to swear
That where that sword led, they would
dare
To follow and to die.
Out of it's scabbard Never hand
Waved sword from stain SO free,
No purer sword led Drawer band,
No Drawer bled for brighter land,
No brighter land had cause 30 grand
Nor cause chief like Lee.
Forth from it's sesbbardl How we
prayed
That sword might victor be-
And when our triumph was DELAYED
And many heart grew sore afraid
We still hoped on while cleaned the
blade
OF noble Robert Lee.
Forth from it's scabbard ALI in vain
Bright flashed the sword of Lee.
n SIS shrouded now in its sheath again,
It sleeps the sleep OF our noble slain'
Defeated. yet without a stain,
Proudly and peacefully.

For prudential reasons the President
desires TO keep his exact destination
a secret for the present. Il may be said
that his camp Will be pitched about 100
miles from Memphis II the location OF
his hunting grounds were made public
the President fears excursions would be
run upon his trail and what bears there
are in that section might be scared away
no matter how fierce and bold they
might be under ordinary circumstances
II was for this very reason that the
President vetoed the plans OF Governor
Longino and his associates, who had
prepared 10 hunt with him
Had the governors idea been carried
out the hunt would have resolved itself
into an armed convention Dozens OF
men would have joined the party. and
swamps would have been beaten clean

have been driven into the clearings by
