CAPTAIN LATANE.
By JOHN r. THOMPSON, of Virginia.

6 HE combat ragged not long; but the day,
And through the hosts which compassed us around
y Our little band rode proudly on its way
Leaving gallant spirit, glory crowned,
Unburied on the field he died to gain;
Single, Of all his men, among the hostile slain!
One moment at the battles edge he stood,
=, Hopes halo, like a helmet, round his hair
The next, behold him dabbled in his blood,
Prostrate in death; and yet in death how fair!
And thus he passed. through the red gates of strife,
From earthly crowns and palms, to eternal life.
A brother bore his body from the field,
- And give it into strangers hands, who closed
His calm blue eyes, on earth forever sealed,
And tenderly the slender limbs composed
Strangers but sister, who with Mary's love,
Sat by the open tomb and, weeping, looked above
A little girl strewed roses on his bier,
:. Pale roses-not more stainless than his soul,
Nor yet more fragrant than his life sincere,
That blossomed with good actions-brief, but whole
The aged matron, with the faithful slave,
Approached with reverent step the hero lowy grave
No man Of God might read the burial rite
-, Above the rebe-thus decreed the foe,
Who blanched before him in the deadly fight;
N,r-.. But womans voice, in accents soft and low,
Trembling with pity touched with pathos, read
Over his halowed dust, the ritual for the dead
"'Tis sown in weakness; it is raised in power"
Soft the promise noated on the air,
And the sweet breathings of the sunset hour,
Come back responsive to the mourners prayer.
Gently they laid him underneath the sod,
And left him with his fame, his country and his God.
We should not weep for him! His deeds endure
So young, SO beautiful, SO brave-he died
AS he would wish to die. The past secure
Whatever yet OF sorrow may betide
Those who still linger by the stormy shore;
Cnange cannot hurt him fortune reach him more
And when Virginia, leaning on her spear,
~ V1tr1x ct vidua. the conflict done
snail raise her mailed hand to wipe the tear
- That starts, as she recalls each martyr son;
NO prouder memory her breast shall SWAY
Than thine-the early lost-lamented Latane!

The movement inaugurated by the Mobile Regis
ter to erect monument to Father Abram j. Ryan,
the poet-priest of the confederacy, is one that
should appeal to every Southerner. The Confeder-
acy never boasted the devotion of purer sweeter
soul than Father Ryan. His songs afforded great
spiritual upft to the people in the days of victory
and in the days of defeat, and they yet remain
among the sweetest memories of the Lost Cause

The magnanimity of Japan in this affair is very
great. The undisputed victor in every engagement
on land and sea- she has foregone indemnity and
has given half of Sakhalin Island back to her foe
She has yielded in the cause of humanity, for no
one could dream of her as having any fear of the
future arbitrament of arms. She has seemed to
lose the diplomatic game, and the shouting and
the tumut' are all for Wtte but she has won hand
somely enough before the bar of the universal
brotherhood of man.-Bostom Journal

The Croaker.
JOHN NJ. KEITH.

JOHN M METH.
There was once an old fellow who always cried down
Every effort proposed for the good of the town:
And croaking, to him, was such infinite pleasure
That he piled it beyond any reason of measure.
He would approach you with well what's the news2
And eer you replied he'd expose his own views.
He'd tell you that people were making a blunder,
by coming in here. for The town would go under,
For the companies here, and the big corporations
Were crushing ii out with their explorations:
And then when the bitches we're running quite low
He declared they would yet cease entirely to flow.
Ard that the ground then would be parched and so dry
That the crops that were growing would wither and die.
Even when the canals we're full to o'erhowing
And for long level miles we're the finest crops growing
He declared the whole country would soon be drowned out,
A dead cinch he knew what he was talking about.
Why this is the sorriest bum little town,
He often remarked, with an ominous frown
The merchants can't shelve their goods in a way
To show the advantage of a business display.
That the doctors who live here are nothing but quacks.
And the lawyers all rascals, he set down as facts.
The officers, too, we're but organized jobbers,
Who stood hand in hand with c%utthroats and robbers.
The newspapers. too, we're the poorest excuse,
And not fit for respectable folks to peruse.
And the towns water ~system-he gave it a score;
The electric lights, too, we're exceedingly poor.
He had praise for the shacks of the neiehboring towns
But not a word for the brick blocks of his own.
And thus he continued from day unto day
Belittling the town and its people always,
Til one day while passing a stable near by
A blind mule stopped eating and kicked him sky high,
And there he was nearer to heavens bright door
Than he will be hereafter-or had been before.
The coroner came on the scene to review it,
Verdict:-'The mule knew the best way to do it,"
The undertaken, though given a sad melancholy,
While preparing this case was unusually jolly,
Keeping time to the swing of hilarious songs
He flung The corpse into its coffin with tongs.
On his funeral day was all business suspended
Were the streets deserted, the rabble all ended2
Not any, the people had NOT to the grave yard hied
They were all congregated where the croaker had died,
And we're there celebrating with holiday cheer
The end of his s~landerous. lying career.
And the blind mule stood out on the spot for hours
Like a conquering hero, bedecded with flowers.
From this tale, a thought | drew
Not patented its free to you
OF the vilest snakes that cucumber the ground
The croaker is the worst around.
He will NOT see himself, Alright,
And stands in better peoples light.

present to specified posts. There should be an
adequate inspection service. that the de-
partment may be able to inform Itself how the
business of each consulate is being done, instead
OF depending upon casual private Information or
rumor. The fee system should be entirely abol-
ished, and a due equivalent mace In salary 10
the officers who now exc out their subsistence
by means OF fees. Sufficient provision should be
made for a clerical force in every consulate,
composed entirely of Americans, instead of the
insufficient provision now made, which compels
the employment OF great numbers Of citizens OF
foreign countries whose services can be obtained
for less money. At a large part of our con-
sulates the office quarters and the clerical force
Gus duties imposed by the recent provisions OF
our immigration laws as we'll as by our increas-
ing trade. In many parts of the world the lack
of suitable quarters for our embassies, legations
and consulates detracts from the respect IN
which officers ought to be held, ana sefl-
ously inpairs their weight and influence.
Suita BILE provision should be made for the ex-
pense of keeping our diplomatic ofhcers more
fully informed of what is being done from day
to day in the progress of our diplomatic affairs
with other countries. The lack of such informa-
ton, caused by insufficient appropriations avail
able for cable tolls and for clerical and messen-
ger service. frequently puts our officers at q
great disadvantage and detracts from their use
fitness The salary list should be readjusted.
It does not now correspond either to the i'm
portance of the service to be rendered and the
degrees of ability and experience required in the
different positions to the differences In the
cost of living. In many cases the salaries are
quite inadequate,
