Mrs. Garrett suffered with a Cerebro.
Spinal affection, and had been treated by
the best physicians, but without the slight

For the last twelve months two doctors

She was so low that for the greater part
OF the time she was perfectly unconscious

the knights defended Acre in vain and
finally took shelter in Cyprus in the
fourteenth century, then in Malta.
The badge of this order the well
known Maltese Cross. IN reality four
barbed arrows, the heads meeting at
their points. Even sto this day the
order has a certain Independent exis-
tence. verdala was the orders most
famous grand masters. These knights

was besieged for several months. Their

sermon was good but since it was in IN
other language we did not catch much
OF it. Under the floor of this cathedral
manv of these Knights are buried.
We also visited the ancient capital
of the island, Citta Vecclia. eight
miles inland. connected with Valetta
by railroad. This old town was known
to the Romans as Melita and was
founded 700 years b. G. Here is the
cathedral of St. Paul built in 1897 and
traditionallv occupying the site of the
palace of Publias who erected there a
church and a cathedral built by the
Normans in the twelfth century and
destroyed by an earthquake in 1893.
This editice is adorned with mosaics.
pictures. statutes and other works of
art and is a most beautiful sight. Here
are the catacombs and the grotto of
st Paul where he is popularity believed
to have lived during his three months
stay on the island where he was ship
wrecked, as described in Acts %. Two
miles distant is the Verdala palace
built by Grand Master Verdala in 1856.
now used as the summer residence of
the governor of the island.
The island has a population of about
175, coo. 1t has more stone to the
SQUARE inch than any place / ever saw
where people try to cultivate the lit
tie soil they have. That little. how
ever, is very fertile, and corn, cotton,
wheat and tropical fruits are grown.
There are no rivers on the island
but many springs aud water is very
easily obtained. The temperature to-
dav was only sixty-five degrees beau
tiful weather. In summer though. |
am told the hot winds, from Africa
blow across the island and make it so
unpleasant that all who can afford il
seek some other resort until the heated
season is past. The inhabitants of
the island occupy their time in farm
ing and in working around the har-
bors. The old families are still a dis
tinct race and you find counts aud
marquises on all sides who date back
their patents of nobility to the times
of the Knights of St. John. They take
great pride in their blood and in their
history. The harbors are busy places
and from eight to ten thousand vessels
enter and clear at the ports of this
Land each ear. On our arrival we
found a church festival in full swing.
Something like our Mardi Gras at New
Orleans. We were pelted with few
ers, candy, etc. as we walked about
the streets of Valetta looking at the
sights. There was a street parade in
which all who participated wore
masks and dressed in fancy costumes.
1t was most pleasant as well as un.
expected. We sail tonight fos Athens.

V~aletta, Island of Malta,
February 23rd.

A two davs sail along the northern
coast brought us to this world re-
owned Island. The weather has been
fine since we sailed into this inland
sea, and all of us are enjoying these
first sights of the Medi %terranean.
Every minute of our time is occupied
and we find ENJOYMENT in all we see.
AS we steamed into the harbor this
morning, one of the finest in the world,
the first thing that caught our eyes
was thu series of Notifications which
defends it. Many of them are hewn
out of the solid rock, are mounted
with the latest guns. and any at
tempt to attack them would certainly
be most vigorously combated. The city
of Valetta is composed of several small
er towns or suburbs, and occupies a
rocky tongue of land over 5000 yards
long, and on each side lies a noble har-
Dor. Since 1900 the island has belong
ed to Great Britain, and is tho base
of supplies for the Mediterranean
fleet. Eleven warships were at anchor
flying the British flag as we steamed
in and 5000 British soldiers are gar
risoned here, in this the principal port
of the island. 1t was pleasant as we
strolled through the town to hear the
sound of the English language spoken
by others than our own party, though
it was accompanied with a cockney
burr.

The Davidson and Nash Monuments

On the 18th of April, 1895, the North
Carolina Society Daughters of the Revo-
luton" unanimously adopted a resolu-
tion to request the House of Represen-
tatives of the United States to pass the
bill, then pending which had been passed
by the Senate for an appropriation of
$4,000 towards monuments to the two
Revolutionary heroes, General Francis
Nash and William Lee Davidson
The Society had printed several hun
dred leaflets embodying this resolution,
together with a stirring appeal to the pa
triotism of Congress; these were placed
OH every desk. The petition was pre-
scented by our Senator with request
that it be printed in the Congressional
Record There being, no objection it was
done, and may be found on page All of
April 2Sth, 1898.
In consideration of this step the So
cety feel that their interest in the mat
ter entities them to a hearing as to the
placing of these monuments.
At a meeting of the Board of Mana
gers on yesterday the sense of the meet
irg was this: that thse monuments
should both be placed at the capitol of
the State; that these two heroes be-
longed to North Carolina and to no
special section that if there is to be
anv discrimination that the one to Gen
eral Davidson should go to the campus
of Davidson College.
