LEE AND MCCLELLAN.
An incident Of the First Messing 81
the Two aeIdiers.

the Two Soldiers.
TIE drst meeting between General
George b. Mcclellan and General Rob
ert Il. Lee happened in Mexico during
the war with that country. Mcclellan
was a lieutenant Of engineers, and Lee
was O major on the stan OF General
Winfield Scott.
One day Mcclellan was walking
across field when he saw General
Scott and his STAFF approaching on
horseback As they drew near Ma
Jor Lee reined up his horse and asked
the lieutenant If he did not know
that he was disobeying orders. His
tone was sharp and angry. Mcclellan
answered that he was not aware of
any disobedience and asked for an ex-
PLANTATION. Lee replied that all officers
had been told to remain in their quar-
tiers, awaiting orders, and asked for
the lieutenant's name.
Mcclellan gave bis name and said
that no order Of that kind had reached
him, But Lee in a peremptory tone
ordered him to 90 to his quarters and
remain there. Then he rode Off and
rejoined General Scott and the star,
who had not stopped. Mcclellan went
to his quarters, as he had been directed
to do, but was quite indignant at the
way In which Lee had treated him, for
he had not knowingly committed a
breach Of discipline.
He had just finished telling his broth
er officers the incident when he was
informed that an officer was outside
the tent asking for him. On going out
he was much surprised to see Major
Lee, who saluted him with respect.
Lieutenant Mcclellan" the major
said, Il am afraid that l was not cour-
teous I'm my manner to you little
while ago, and have called to apol-
ogize."
II assured him that it was all right, =
said General Mcclellan in telling the
story, "and he rode off after making

Going tco near the fireplace, her volu-

Catgut strings. Il Is well known, are
made OF the intestines OF sheep. The

from forty to ifty feet long.

against the blade OF safety razor set
upright In the table before him. The
strands are then spun together and
placed on the drying frames.
An American r violin string re-
quires six strands, the European four.
The strands, at one end fastened to an
upright post. are twisted together
while still damp and pliable by means
Of d spinning wheel Taken from the
drying frames. the strings are cut In

very fine emery paper laid on grooved
aluminium block is used. While the
strings are stlll on the drying frame
the covered block is passed over the
strings. polishing as many at one time
as there are grooves in the block. 1t
can be seen that from the manner in
which the strands are twisted the ef-

Prayers For the Dying Reeited In the
Public Streets.
"A few evenings ago while we were
at dinner In our hotel" writes an
American author visiting in Porto Rico.
1--WE heard the tlnkling of small bell
just outside the hotel doors. Instantly
Salvador. the waiter. stopped in the
little bustling run with which he waits
on the guests, hurriedly procured a
candle, lighted 1t and carried 1t out on
the balcony. Almost as soon as that
candle was on the balcony railing we
three Americans were beside it, ques-
tioning Salvador, for we were sure
something unusual was going on.
eve saw procession of many peo-
pie, led by two priests, coming down
the street, each person bearing in his
hand lighted candle. They stopped
I'm front of house facing the hotel.
and Salvador told as that somebody
was dying there and they were pray
ing for his soul. Up and down the
street as far as we could see ON every
balcony railing was burning either a
candle or Kerosene lamp.
From the absorbed interest of the
people gathered in front of open doors
and windows of the afflicted house the
sufferer was apparently trying to die
In full view Of the spectators.
Presently the bell began to ring
again, the procession formed once
more, and they all moved up the street.
Salvador telling us in explanation that
there was a second person dying and
they were now going to pray for him .

The Incident Which Moved England ts
Turn Drake loose.
The relations between which brakes
raid into the south sea had for
time threatened with open rupture had
greatly improved-at least in outward
appearance in 1885, under spe-
cial promises Of immunity from mo
lestatlon on religious or other grounds,
Philip had invited to his ports a feet
Of English corn ships In order to sup
ply the deficiency Of his own harvests.
No sooner, however, had the English
ships arrived than an embargo was
laid upon them and their crews ar
rested.
One ship. the famous Primrose of
London, managed to escape. While
lying of Bilbao quietly diseharging her
cargo she had been visited by the cor
regidor Of Biscay and his guard dis
gulsed as merchants Suddenly called
upon to surrender, the crew flung them
selves upon the Spaniards, drove them
all overheard and made sail. Some of
the discounted Spaniards as the shore
boats fed were seen clinging to the
English vessel. These were humane
~ rescued ana carried in triumph back
to England, and among them was the
corregidor himself. Upon him were
found his official instructions, setting
forth expressly that the embargo was
ordered for the purposes of the expe-
dition which Philip was preparing
against the English. This was enough
for the queen and the powerful pub
lie opinion Of commercial circles In
London, which had obstinateIy chung
to pacific relations with Spain. A re-
taliatory embargo was proclaimed, let
ters of general reprisal were issued,
and Drake was let loose. From Publ

POINTS OUT FACTS.
Robert Hunter Calls Attention to
Trickery In Democratic Platform.

New York, July 22.-Robert Hunter,
the parlor Socialist, said last night:
THE Democratic anti-injunction
plank is a direct evasion and an in
famous attempt to delude labor, but I
have confidence enough in the intelli-
gence of labor to believe vain at
tempt to betray labor.
AN anti-injunction plank was de-
handed pro-injunction was obtain
cd. Mr.. Gompers says he is cotent;
that he does not ask the abolition OF
injunctions. He only wants them to
be used against labor in the same way
they are used against others.
well, here is an injunction that was
not usel against labor. \ gentleman in
Texas asked a judge to enJoin an
other man from alternating the affec-
tions of his wife. The injunction was
granted. 1t commanded the intruder
neither to communicate with nor to
speak t. the wife, nor to go near her
house, nor near any other house or
place in the city Of Dallas or in the
state of Texas, where this young
woman happened to be. If judge can
issue an injunction like this he can
enjoin, as judges have done, the
Brotherhood of Carpenters from not
handling non-union material. He can
dissolve unions as conspiracies He can
even enjoin union from paying an
eight hour strike benefit.
Furthermore he can enjoin Samuel
Gompers from writing editorials or
from having private conversation
with the President of the United
StateS''
