He looked awfully bored as he en- ergetically applied the brake and brought her to a standstill, By this time he was far in advance of the man, who walked along as slothfully as you please, apparently to get even with the motorman, He did not get on the back end, but walked on up to the front platform, the motorman with difficulty suppressing his feel ings at the valuable time being con- sumed, When the man reached the latter be looked up, spata copious superfluity of “long green’? on the ground, and said; ‘Pard, I wish ye'd stop here fer me when ye come back this way !"” $4. % Mr. Chas, Lofland, better known as ‘Mileage,’ says that they don’t do things nowadays as they did in the late unpleasantness, and that the soldiers of today don’t know what real fighting is. ‘They have a little brush and lose ten ora dozen men, and call ita ‘battle,’ and the papers think it is a great thing. “I remember when we were out following the flag over thirty years ago, we met one day down not far from here. There were 23,000 on one side, and 17,000 on the oth r, and we fought nine hours, At the expiration of that time there were 7,000 dead Jeft on the field—and they called that a@ skirmish.

Wright, of the city, the well known tobacco man, Young Wright was reared in Bowling Green, and remained there until about a year or two ago, when he went west and was given a position by Jobo Valentine, president of the Wells-Fargo Express company. When the war broke out he at once enlisted under Roosevelt, and was made color sergeant, ‘I'he last letter received from him by relatives was written on board one of the trans- ports just as they were starting for Santiago.

The Spanish policy of extortion first assumed really burdensome pro- portions with the establishmont of a tobacco monopoly in 1717. This led to the first sericus uprisings of the colonists—a forerunner of the suc- cessive rebellions that were to mark the subsequent history of Spanish control of the island. Several of these uprisings occurred during the first quarter of the nineteenth cen- tury, and, by that time (according to Louis Edward Levy, editor of Rai- mundo Cabrera’s Cuba and the Cu- bans) the people of the come divided into two distinct and hostile parties, the Cuban and Span-|! ish. Needless to say, this division has continued ever since and the lines of cleavage become more and more sharply drawn. In the desperate and bloody rebellion of 1868-78 the long pent-up wrath of the colonists broke forth with such fury that Spanish sovereignty very narrowly sca complete overthrow, and was main- tained only at enormous cost. That rebellion cost Spain more than $300,- 000,000 in ¢ besides some 8,000 officers and 200,000 private soldiers, It was a war characterized by inde scribable cruelties, among which the Havana theater massacre of May, 1810, and the execution of the eight boy students of Havana who defaced a Spanish tomb, st out as lasting monuments to the capabilities of the Spanish character. ‘Phe existence of the same villainous spirit to-day is shown in the extraordinary precau- tions that have been necessary to guard American diplomats and - ns from mob fury, both in Madri and Navana.—Gun Magazine. THE CENTURY PLANT. Story of Huw This Native of Mexico Got Its Name. About two centuries agoa nobleman travel in Mexi and admired the ey plant, W is a native of Mc > The plant was so much admired by the Russian for its beauty and utility that he was eager to have growi specimens in his own country. So, when leaving Mexico, he procured some roots to take home to the ezar as a present. On his first visit to court, after he reached the capital city, he told of the wonderful plant and asked per- mission of the ezar to present to him the specimens which he had. The czar graciously granted his request and gave the roots to the court gar- dener, who promised to give the plants his best attention, but, unfor- tunately, before he could plant them properly, as he intended, he was taken suddenly ill, and died without having accomplished anything. Another gardener was appointed. In the meantime the roots lay in the sack in which they were first placed. The new gardener, not knowing their value, threw the sack away, and it lay unheeded in @ corner of the arden vay after day, Some time afterward his little daughter picked up one of the roots, and, in a playful mood, pared it, but paid it no further at- ention. ‘The czar had forgotten all bout if. In course of time the ruler ied and also the second gardener. The Pant in after years put out a few spikes for leaves, but did not thrive in the cold air df Russia, It grew very slowly, and its origin was not known to anyone save the wife of the former gardener and the child that planted it. Years passed, and still the strange pants with its thick, long, straight eaves, now nearly six feet tall, did not bloom, but as it grew taller it attract- ed notice, and the new czar sometimes looked at it, and wondered if it would ever bloom again, In time he, too, died, and still the maguey bloomed not. But just after the coronation of an other czar a stalk shot up from the root of the plant and rapidly grew to the height of 20 feet. Soon many etusters of smal] buds appeared, which slowly unfolded and became white blossoms. The wonderful plant had bloomed at last! The gardener nid it was 100 years old, and had bloomed in honor of the new czar. Word was sent to him, and he and his whole court visited and ad- mired the flowers and the plant, The poor exile from the stnny ekies of Mexico had earned its reward and @ new name, for ever since that day it has been known as “the cen- tury plant.”—Godey’s Magazine. CURED HIS BASHFULNEsS. How Col. Higginson Managed to Over- come His Shynes: Col.

Schley is described as five feet nine inches in height, with blue eyes, a mustach and imperial, both gray; his hair is growing very thin on top, but he artfully brushes it so as tohide the bald spot; he weighs about 170 pounds, is restless in manner, walk- ing up and down and all around the person to whom he is talking; is modest in dress and democratic in al things. In the civil war Schley had command of a gunboat under Ad- miral Farragut, and they tell this story toi rate how he fights: Farragut summoned him one morn- ing, and, pointing to a confederate fort, said: “Do you see that place, Schley? Go knock it to pieces.” Schley went and was hammering the fort to bits when his quartermas- er rushed up to him and said: “Captain, the admiral has signaled 0 stop and return to the fleet.” ‘Te — with the signal; I won't see it,” answered Schley. He kept pounding away at the fort ‘until it was in ruins. Then he re- turned fo the fleet. Farragut was an- gry and summoned him. Before all the officers of the flagship he gave Schley a fierce dressing down for not ying the recall signal. I didn’t see it,” protested Schley. “You must have shut the eye that you put the glass up to,” said Farra- gut After again raking him fore and aft for his disobedience the admiral took him into the cabin out of sight of the other officers and gave him a drink of the finest liquor aboard.— Syracuse Standard, The Military Spirit. “T have just come from the oil regions,” reinarked the Casual Caller to the Snake Editor, “and I find that the war feeling has got into the petro- eum producing business.” “Tow is that?” “Drilling is going on actively."— Pitisburgh Chronicle-Telegraph.

L. B, Sims preached a most excellent sermon Sunday morning at the A. M, E. church. The three young ladies who de- ported themselves so improperly at a public service Sunday ought to be ashamed of themselves. It showed one of two things: Ignorance or disrespect. Intelligence should have done away with the first as well as the latter. It looks very much like Prof. John H. Jackson, of the State Normal school at Frankfort, is going to ac- cept the presidency of Lincoln Ins tute, a State Normal school at Je! son City, Mo. Prof. Jackson has served the state long and well. The idea of a State Normal, in this state, for colored persons, wi born within his pro~ gressive brain. Since the founding of the school at Frankfort, he has served the institution with signal ability and success ; and it is no won- der that he should be ized by the demand of a popular institution on him for his services. In the past there was some clash- ing in the faculty at Frankfort by the unscrupulous ambitious, bot Jackson brought peace out of chaos, and now all is serene on Nermal bi And it is just such men as he that are in demand everywhere—for they are few. Hon. John R. Lynch, of Missis- sippi, has been made paymaster in the United States army. Lynch is one of the few notable colored men living that flourished a decade or so ago, comtemporaneous with Bruce, Langston, Smalls ai others.
