American Cardinals.

Within the past eight or ten years much has been said about sending red hats to American prelates. but not until last Sunday has Cardinal Gibbons spoken authoritatively on this subject said prominent Catholic.
 He says in substance the United States will be represented by an additional Cardinal or two and intimates that within the near future this country will have a number of Cardinals His eminence did not say who the new members of the sacred college would be, but 1t goes with out saying that If more than one is ap- pointed Archbishop Ireland will be in- eluded. If only one is named however, at the next consstory I am inclined to think that Archbishop Ryan of Philade- phia will be the prelate honored. Let us suppose that within the next three years the United States will have five or six instead of only one cardinal as at present. In that case the American dign- taries so honored would probably include Archbishop Ryan, Archbishop Ireland, Archbishop Farley and Archbishop Chapelle.

HIGH AUTHORITY GIVES
 POINTS ON MINT JULEP

glass Then put upon those leaves as much sugar as you think will tickle your friends palate Now, stir gently. Take time. Don't hurry. Juleps are not built tenderly, and when 1t has reached ma turity it will richly repay your loving care
 Now, put in the ice, not enough to drown the julep. but just enough to cool it. Next pour in the whiskey. And here you must compound your julep with judgment. The question is how little whlskey you can put in to give the thing flavor. Flavoring is the business of the mint. What you now have to consider is how much whiskey your friend will like, and also how much will like him, for the julep is the subtlest of the drinks of the field. Spare not the whiskey. Get your friends limit, for a weak julep is the abomination of a strong man. The first julep should have power to awaken emo tions of peace and contentment; the sec ond should open the gates of happiness; the third should fill the world with vis- ions of joy too great to be- and the fourth should leave all desires of the soul gratifed and the delighted body stilled to perfect rest.
 Having the whisky in do not shake in vulgar shaker, but stir gently with large spoon till the sides of the glass take on soft hoar frost Now plunge in the mint Let it be fresh and plenteous. Measure the length of the stalks accord ing to the length of your friends nose. The organ of smell should be buried in the mint, but the leaves should not be in the eyes of the thinker lest he should find difficulty in closing them in the mo- ment of ineffable delight.
 Fear not to give this julep to your friend. He will love you. The next day when he remembers what you did for him he will respect you. When he has suf- ficiently recovered from the weight of the obligation. he will come and ask you ta do 1t again. He will cleave unto you like a brother while the mint holds out But let him and you both be cautious. The julep is a gracious and desirable ser- want; but it is a tyrannous master. AL ways keep in mind the awful fate of the man who learned to put grass in his whisky" Stop at the second julep. You cannot stop after the third.

N LTHOUGH out of season, the fol- P0 lowing editorial remarks from the ' New York Sun will be read with interest by many men:
 A man, a real man, has written to this newspaper asking to be informed what are .'the approved ingredients and the proper methods of manufacture of the standard mint julep." There is man for whom it is possible to feel at once pity and envy. What sad state is his who has not yet swallowed a properly com pounded julepl What a joy will be his when first he buries his nose in the odor- ous leaves and lets the julep trickle down his throat, clear and cool spring of inspiration flowing from under the shad- ows of summer leaves He has something yet to live for, and, if he will stick to 1t long enough, to die for.
 But our friend does not desire any poetic views of the julep, nor yet any stereotyped directions out of the Bar keepers Wade Mecum. He says in plain English that he wishes 10 know how to make a julep, so that he can hand out the beverage to his friends at home. "This is not to decide bet" he says, but to get a drink" Juleps at home Then he lives in the suburbs and has mint in his back yard. When Carlyle said, "Oblivious Lethe flows out above ground he knew not of the julep. With mint in the back yard one can forget that he re- members and dream that he forgets.
 But to the point. The mint julep of com merce consists of a glass of moderate proportions almost full of ice. Into the interstices of this ice is permitted to tricxle a niggardly modicum of whisky or brandy, according to the expressed of the barkeeper. Some half-dried wisps of semi-odorous mint, which has long re- posed on the shelf behind the bar. are thrust into the glass, after the usual process of throwing in dab of sugar and giving the whole thing a demonstrative shake have been completed
 It is a poor substitute for the real thing. This is the way to create juler dream at home a julep fit to hand out to your best friend that he may forget all other friends, that he may see you doubled in beauty and graciousness. that he may long to stay always in your house and never go home any more-til the mint is gone:
 Get a large glass, such as barkeepers are wont to use in the first bloom of the June roses to confine the Hon, Thomas Collins. In the bottom of this glass crush with patience and care the succulent juices out of some sprays of the delicious mint. Leave the crushed leaves in ths

THE BLUE AND THE GRAY,

By Francis Miles Finch. By the flow of the inland river, Whence the fleets of iron have fled, Where the blades of the grave grass
 quiver,
 Asleep are the ranks of the dead; Under the sod and the dew,
 Waiting the judgment day;
 Under the one, the Blue;
 Under the other, the Gray. These, in the robings of glory; Those, in the gloom of defeat All, with the battle-blood gory, In the dusk of eternity meet
 Under the sod and the dew,
 Waiting the judgment day;
 Under the laurel. the Blue;
 Under the willow the Gray. From the silence of sorrowful hours The desolate mourners go, Lovingly laden with flowers. Alike for the friend and the foe Under the sod and the dew,
 Waiting the judgment day;
 Under the roses, the Blue;
 Under the lilies the Gray. So, with an equal splendor. The morning sun rays fell, With touch impartially tender, Oll lllt blbSSpliS blOpihlHS Aoi Under the sod and the dew,
 Waiting the judgment day;
 Broidered with gold, the Blue;
 Melowed with gold, the Gray So. when the summer calleth, With an equal murmur falleth The cooling drip of the rain
 Under the sod and the dew,
 Waiting the judgment day;
 Wet with rain, the Blue;
 Wet with rain, the Gray. Sadly, but not with upbraiding, The generous deed was done; In the storm of the years that are fading No braver battle was won
 Under the sod and the dew,
 Waiting the judgment day;
 Under the blossoms, the Blue;
 Under the garlands, the Gray. No more shall the war cry sever, Or the winding rivers be red; They banish our anger forever When they laurel the gra ses of our
 dead
 Under the sod and the Few,
 Waiting the judgment L-g;
 Love and tears for the E5ue. Tears and love for the Cfay.

The State Fair.

'hS StatS rdiT'
 A week from next Thursday the Ala bama State Fair will be opened and think it is safe to say that it will draw the largest crowd ever seen in Birming- ham," said a man close to the manage ment
 '"rhe railroads have advertised @ one half rate fare and this indueement would of itself bring tens of thousands But there will be many attractions at the fair. Troop c. of the Seventh United States cavalry, will give exhibition drills daily during the progress of the fair. The regimental band of twenty-seven pieces will come with the troop, and will give daily concerts. Bobby Walthour, the worlds champion bicycle rider, will race against the pacers. These are only a few of the attractions. But, after all, the immense crowds that will come to Birmingham will be a crowd well worth seeing"

federal pension system:
Amount.
Total ... .... ..645, 20s

It is a singular fact that Ohio should have more pensioners than New York, although it sent fewer soldiers to the war-but any attempt to explain the oddities of the pension system is idle. It is here to stay on the ground no doubt that to the victor belong the spells.
 The Grand Army of the Republic, headed by Gen. John c. Black, is now engaged in warm pre-presidential campaign in favor of a service pension of SIP month to all civil war veter- ans, this being the rate paid to sur 1vivors of the Mexican war. The new proposition would add the names of 300,000 new pensioners to the rolls, swelling the annual disbursement about s3O,0o0,000 year, and carrying the annual total to about $170, 100000. Congress will probably create this win ter service pension for the benefit of civil war veterans, but it will prob ably start it at $S month, leaving to some subsequent congress the task of carrying it to SIP a month.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR,

From the New York Press.
 When woman will reveal her age it is to conceal something else.
 About the only real forgiving in this world is what some forgives oneself.
 Nobody can stay in politics very long without getting morally cross-eyed.
 There is a certain figure that woman's weight never goes beyond any more than her age.
 When man has succeeded In making an open fire burn he acts as if the German Emperor were trying te make him take his job.

gether with the heat, gave him a
very severe diarrhoea which 1t
seemed almost impossible to check,
and along in June the case became
so bad he expected to die. One day
one OF his neighbors brought him
one small bottle of Chamberlain S

edy as a last hope A big dose was
given him while he was rolling about
on the ground in great agony, and
in q few minutes the dose was re-

icine was soon noticed and Mithin
an hour the patient was taking his
