The Is.ok is pi ineip.illy a collection of poems by Southern writers .and when I looked through its pages the first thought was. “This is the 'book par excellence to place In the hands of Southern children, for the authors r. pi 1 ent. <1 are Southerners. But it certainly seems to me that the book is j ruined for our use, when toward the end, I .Miss Minnie Quinn gives as one of.her se lect recitations, an “Extract from speech of Senator Thurston in the United Stares Congress,” There is small reason to doubt that Senator Thurston's speech, or prim arily the tragic circumstance 'Which in spired and induced his speech, had a share in ipr. cipiilating the war that is now upon us, and when he stood before the United States Congress, and began "'Mr. Presi dent: I am here by comtmand of siletnlt lips to speak on. e for ill upon the Cuban agi tation "our ivinpathies were all with him. 'However, Miss Quinn in her extract from Senator Thurston's speech quotes the . most objectionable portion the climax that ruined the speech for me. but which Miss Quinn has seen tit to copy and to in clude in the pages of her compilation. "Force saved the Union, kept the stars in 'the liag. made ‘niggers' men. The time for God's force has come again. Let tin* impassioned Ups of American patriots once more take up the song: “In the beauties of the lilies, Christ was born across the sea, With a dory in His bosom That transfigured .you and me. .As He died do make man holy, iLt t us die to make men free. For God Is marching on.” This hook of Mis Quinn's may sell, but unquestionably it would have been more appreoiat. I bore if Senator Thurston’s speech had b< on left out. There is, to say the b ast of it, some degree of incongruity in obtruding such sentiments (?) in the United States senate, and in expecting the Sotjlhern droops to eo-operate With those of the North in attack and in defense.

It is suggested t-hat as soon as tlie volunteers get here the regulars will move to Tampa, but there is no indication here of such an intention.

BUINOTGOODBYE" Macon Volunteers Marched Out this Morning With Full Company. lUDEMKIiriCiIISMK And Were Greeted With the Great est Enthusiasm as They Left the Depot for Griffin. ■ The marching out of the Macon Volun- I teers was made the crowning event of the I military excitement of the last few weeks. I There wa.s more genuine enthusiasm I shown in Macon this morning than has yet been seen and the Macon Volunteers were given a send-off that has not been equaled at any time in the military his tory of the city. The Volunteers left their armory shortly after 7 o'clock and marched to the South ern depot. All along the route they were greeted with the greatest Enthusiasm, and thou sands of people gathered at the depot to hid them farewell. Two coaches had been at:ached to the regular train, which pulled out about five minutes late. The storm of cheers, the waving of handkerchiefs and the flittering of flags lasted until the train had disapeared around the bend and the last notes of the bugle call sounded by" Trumpeter Billingslea died away. Captain Sam B. Hunter, Lieutenant Connor and Private Wiley will remain be hind for a day or two perhaps in order to finish up the recruitng which the company will be allowed to do for the next two days. Lieutenant Sidney Wiley, who resigned as lieutenant of the Floyd Rifles, yesterday joined the Volunteers as a private and the company will have no better or more enthusiastic soldier. Private James H. Blount, Jr., also went out a as new recruit with the company, and with Private Robert Hodges, will rep resent the Macon bar at the front. The old members of the company who are in the city escorted the boys to the depot. Among them were Messrs. W. W. Wi igley, George Keith, Ben C. Smith, G. C. Connor. Emanuel Isaacs, C. E. Camp bell, C. M. Wiley. These are the seven war members in the city, Mr. L. D. Ripley is also a member of the oVlunteers. He is not in the city at present.

The iMacon ARilunteers will make one of the companies of the Second Battalion of the First Georgia regiment of United States When the first battal ion was organized and included Ithe iMa <on Companies Captain Hunter was not offered one of the companies. He iw-as, however., offered the fiist lieutenancy of the Floyd R ties, but this he promptly refus ed, taking the petition that the neglect of his company and the failure to recognize them as an organization, was a slight to the company and that he could not con sistently accept any other commission in another company. Tn this he was upheld by the members of the company, and when the call was made for volunteers his com pany refused to have anything to do with it. The Macon Volunteers is one of the old est companies in the state, .and has more honors on its colors than any other com pany in the state. As it stands at present it is the strongest, numerically, of any of the companies. When Major Wooten was organizing his battalion he was prompt to see that it would he a big thing for him if he could secure the Macon Volunteers, and he of fered Captain Hunter a place as captain provided he could make up seventy-five men in forty-eight hours. Captain Hunter very promptly accepted and the members of the company rallied to him like men. The result was that in side of the time limit Captain 'Hunter an nounced ready and today he went out with over that required number and has two more days in which to recruit here. Old members of the Volunteers came in from every direction, and when the com pany formed on parade this morning it was as fine a body of men as could be found in the South. It is safe to say that they will be the pride of the First regi ment of Georgia Volunteers. The banquet given by the citizens of Ma con last night to the Macon Volunteers was agrand tribute to the company. The order -to march ad been received so sud denly that there was not much time for preparation, but Caterer Binswanger was equal tef the occasion and had an excellent ! spread ready for the boys and fheir invi ted guests. . , Colonel C. AL Wiley acterd as toast master. He was attended by his whole staff, and as the guests included a large number of ladies, the tables, which were beautifully decorated, presented a most at tractive apearance. The speakers of the evening were Ad jutant Ross, of the Second regiment; Rev. F. F. Reese, the chaplain of the regiment; ” Mr. Washington Dessau, Mr. Roland Ellis, Mr. Minter Wimberly. Captain Sam B. Hunter. iMaior J. L. Hardeman and Colo nel R. A. Nisbet. Tn the course of the speeches the battles of the A’olunteers were told again by those ;wbo had fought beside them in the sixties, and the roll of honor was called. Chaplain Reese gave the young soldiers sound ad vice. It would be hard to say which was the speech of the evening. Each one was i received with enthusiasm, but none more than that of Colonel R. A. Nisbet, the last speaker, wbo was sending three sons to the front with Ithe A’olunteers. The banquet, the speeches and the en thusiasm was a great tribute to the Vol unteers. After the banquet an informal dance was given and kept up until as late as Captain Hunter thought it advisable to allow his men to stay up. considering the fact that they bad to make an early start for Griffin this morning.

A AVashington special says: Os course it is true that under the call for volun teers memtbers of the militia companies are not forced to enlist, but the president in his call signified his desire that the nrilitia of the states should he recognized I and given the firts chance, and in order to ' secure the prompt enlistment of these men I it has been deom.-d best in almost all the states to recognize their thus let ting them come ftito volunteer army preserving their militia organizations in nact. Where this has not been done, the ardor of the citizen soldiery seems to have been taken from them and embarrassing delays have resulted. There is either something radically I wrong with our militia system or there have heen serious mistakes in its admin istration. If it turns out that in Georgia, for instance, the militiamen do not volun teer promptly they themselves will ho put in a rather peculiar light. For vear< they have been posing as' the soldiers of the 'state. They have worn their uniforms on dress 'parade occasions; they wear the military titles with grca,t gusto, and in Hmes of peace at least they pose as the “whole thing” from a military standpoint. The states and the federal government contribute toward their maintenance, the former by furnishing money and the lat ter by furnishing munitions for war. If, w hen the war comes they fail to come to the front and bear the state’s share of the war burden by volunteering their services, there is something wrong somewhere. If it were due to any lack of .personal brav ery or personal willingness, it certainly would reflect upon the men themselves. If it is due to misinterpretation of the spirit of the president’s call by governors giving commissions, to friends and ignor ing the regularly elected'officers of the militia regiment's and companies, the re sentment of the militiamen is natural and the blame does not belong to the men themselves.

In these stirring times of war, every thing else is practically side-tracked, and amusements or entertainments of every kind except of a military nature are for goten for the time, but one exception must certainly be made of this broad rule. The Young Men’s Christian 'Association scored a distinct hit, in the opening of their mag nifiefient 'May Musical Festival last night, in spite of all the adverse circumstances. And this it not to 'be wondered at, con sidering the magnitude of their undertak ing and the unqualified excellence of the musical program so charmingly rendered on this occasion. It is safe 'to say that no more cultured or refined, or better pleased audience ever assembled in Ma cou’s opera house than greeted the South ern May Musical Festival Company last night. This is a company of twenty of the most talented vocal and instrumental so loists that even J. S. Atkinson & Co., the promoters of the enterprise, with all their splendid energy and large capital, could select from this country and Europe, assis ted by an orchestra of thirty picked men from the famous Boston Symphony play ers and Damrosch’s New York orchestra. Every member of tbp company is a tal ented artist, and they proved it conclusive ly last evening by their faultless rendition of- one of the most charming programs ever presented to a musical audience. Dt is useless to particularize in a de scription of that program. Useless to say that this or that number was superb, for it was all grand. The well trained voices of the vocalists, combined with the faultless technique, style, dash and tone of the instrumental soloists and the or chestra, combined to make an aggregation of soul-loving music that has never been surpassed in Macon. The News does not at tempt to specify or particularize, but pre sents the program in its entirety, and says that everyone 'Who heard it was charmed, and those who missed it have lost a great opportunity in their lives.

This chorus was selected and. ■trained by Miss M. Jennette Loudon, the talented musical director of Wesleyan Col lege, and was a distinct victory over ad verse circumstances.

Washington, May 10. —Mr. Wikliam T. 'Hornady, chief naturalist of the Smithso nian Institution, has spent nearly ten years in East India, Borneo and Sumatra jungles ■eolecting rare animals, birds and in’sects for the Smithsonian. He is the only white man who ever lived among the he'ad hunters of Borneo. “All this talk of the danger in Cuba of the rainy "season, yellow fever, etc., is greatly exaggerated.” Mr. Hornady said. I “Because the Spanish army has lost so heavily, many uninformed persons fear that the country would be as fatal to the newly arrived Americans as it was to the green Spaniard. The Spanish troops I saw were wretchedly fed and clothed, and ab solutely no heed is taken to enforce the most obvious saniatry regulations. Then the food, clothing, medicines, everything 1 the men have to live on, is furnished by i contractors, who stand in with the officers j and simply starve the poor soldiers into ; disease an death. The Spanish women ‘ have a saying: ‘When our sons go to Cuba or the Phillipines they never return.’ Many a Spanish mother whose son is coming near the time when he must do service in the Spanish army, is praying that Cuba and Porto Rico may be lost to Spain be fore her son goes away. “After five years of living in 'the most I malarial jungles on earth, in the most | mlasmic swamps, drinking syamp water. : and often having to eat unaccustomed and i badly cooked food. I never had but one touch of jungle fever, and that only laid me up six or seven days. I owe my excel lent health to two or three precautions. I never slept on the bare ground nor in the ; rain, and always under shelter. 1 always , wore light flannels next o the skin, and m ver slept in damp clothes. Whatever else I might have to’do without, two changes of flannel underwear, besides that I had on, were always at hand. Take from six to five grains of quinine every morning in a cup of hot coffee, if you have it; if not, ithcn in hot water. Have your shoes to tit you, even if you must buy them I yourself, though the United States is fur nishing its troops with an excellent march ing shoe. With these precautions and a dose of some light laxative -twice a week, there need be no more fear of fever in | Cuba than there is in Missouri. Morrillas. a Culxau born, and for some years an assistant surgeon in the I niteu States navy, now in the marine hospital service, in the tropics, said; “The rainy season, as it is ‘called out of Cuba, is to Cubans the most charming season of the year. It begins generally about tne middle of May and lasts to the middle of September. It usually rains in the after noon, and sometimes the fall is very heavy and accompanied by such thunder and lightning as one never knows outside the tropics. It generally stops at sunset, which is simply unspeakably grand in its cloud effects.. I rarely ever have known it to rain at night. It is this so-caled rainy season that gives life and vigor to the growing vegetation and makes our sugar and toiiaeeo crops what they are. By eat ing well cooked food and eschewing ovar indulgence in 'the fruits of the country, usually so tempting to strangers, always sleeping under some sort of shelter, and not on the bare ground, the green Yankee from the New Hampshire hills may laugh at the bogy of the ‘rainy season’ and the yellow fever. It is 'well for the uiiaccli raated man to take from four to five grains of quinine every morning, and a mild pur gative, say, 'twice a week. You may be as wet. as possible if you are on the move, but when you stop change your clothes, sox and all. You will never have this fe ver if you follow these easily remembered rules.” Notes Taken On the Run. Husband, you must go and see that screen man. i can’t stand these Illes any longer.
