Gen. Palma Is living a quiet, Sc

interest in politics, but devotes himself
to the simple affairs of rural life. His
chief pleasure is In teaching a little
band of his neighbors' children to read
and write, and he devotes two or three
hours n day to that task, while at night
he gives instruction to a class CON-
posed of his farm laborers. He was
a school teacher for a great part OF
his life and in his latter days finds
satisfaction in his old profession."-
