Spring Stanzas—The Species and Gems of Nature,
Who has not wandered in the illustrious w oils ?
Some agreeable day of the spring of the year ;
When nature is in its cheerful moods,
And the arching skies are radiant and clear.
The rare sweet nature’s wild flowers will make,
The heart overjoyed and empowered to feel ;
That spring with its atmosphere partakes,
And our imagining charms make real.
Even the. birds, with their plumage so clear.
Help the spring to be so charming and divine ;
All the grandeur shades of the rainbow is near,
t-V -‘"s Wi<J„ dwell where the flowers are sublime.
Birds of the spring with their variegated plumage of art,
Their songs form richness upon the heart ;
These birds are killed and prepared for history’s hall, ■U**' 1 *
Natural societies, they are obtainable by all.
The most remarkable bird that may be seen,
Is the predominating parrot of sparkling green ;
Thi s is contrasted by iilar, pink, violet and blue,
About them curious stories are related that are true.
Jonathan Swift, who never laughed when he was old.
Owned a parrot, and many manifesting anecdotes we are told ;
V ho would, on all occasions, say : “Let us pray,”
‘‘Help me to pray,” this is what he would say.
The marvelous ol birds is the humming bird.
This bird does not dwell in winter climate and sphere ;
\\ hen the white spring blossoms bloom the b rd is heard,
And its fairy music is again echoed here.
A solemn bird, that in most places dwrells,
Is the cunning mocking bird that we love ;
From the trees floats their songs like the bells,
Its imitated music is sung to its maker above.
The mocking bird has the genius of birds that are free,
It is capable of copying songs of other birds o’er ;
No bird has the superiority like this one with g’ee,
It repeats songs from distant lands and shores.
Doubtless people no;ice the dazzling sunny skies,
When the universe is illuminated with its rays ;
Then exquisite spring biids bring light to our eyes,
They seem to us like winged jewels of the days.
Why should people kill spring’s amiable species of beauty,
When they are sweet in temper and noble in ways ?
Why hinder them from exhibiting their facinating duty,
Treat the birds with kindness, and listen to their lays.
For birds were created to dwell with us on earth.
To hit tue spmig nuuT:........... *»» ■— ,
They are the most majestic, jovial, creatures that live,
Who’s dazzling hues no mimic art can give.

Electric Locomotives.
A new electric locomotive of
large dimensions, calculated to
draw trains of double the weight
of those attached to ordinary en
gines at the rate of 62 miles an
hour, has been tried with success
on the Western Railroad of France
line. The first experiments of this
kind were made in 1893 between
Havre and Beuzeville with an elec
trie locomotive, which behaved
well throughout the trial trip.
Owing to the success of the ma¬
chine, the company’s engineers
constructed two larger locomotives,
and it is one of these which has
just been tested, It is 57 feet long
and of 1,350 horsepower, In spite
of their size, they wear out the
rails less than ordinary locomo¬
tives, as the weight is distributed
Oil eight axles instead of four
five.
They are safer than the others,
owing to their elastic character,
vvhich enables them to make
curves with security at lull speed.
Great things are, in fact, expected
from these contrivances, which <
----- ---
when perfected, will do 100 to 115
miles an hour.

The Question Answered.
Several distinguished generals
on both sides of the late war are
discussing in the Century Maga¬
zine the question “Why the Con¬
federacy Failed.”
Never mind what is said now ;
let us look forward and guess at
the verdict of posterity.
In future generations, when the
story of the confederacy is told,
people will say that it failed—
Because the confederates never
had in the field more man
troops against 3,000,000 of feder
als.
Because the confederates had
fight the outside foe and
4,000,000 of blacks at home.
Because it was impossible for a
small army to defend thousands
miles of borders by sea and land.
Because the north, with its
army and navy, was able to
ade and shut out the south from
markets o.' ti e world.
Because the north was able
manufacture, produce and
everything it needed.
Because the nations of
failed to aid the south.
Because the southern people
were almost starved out and their
resources exhausted.
These will be some of posterity’s
answers to the question, but some
thoughtful persons will say that the
confederacy failed because it was
the will of the Almighty.
But dropping from grave to gay,
what is the matter with the
j given by Gen. Toombs—that "the
confederates literally wore them¬
selves out whipping the yankees. »>

WEYLER’S BRUTALITY.
Correspondent Scavil Tells
How War is Waged
in Cuba,
Sylvester Scovil, the World’s
Cuban war correspondent, in pris¬
on at Saneti Spiritus, writes from
his cell under date of March 1st :
( ( Some idea of how Spain is
making war here may be gained
from Weyler’s own words.
Two weeks ago this captain
"gfcweun of all Cuba, had the alder
men'of the town and the town peo
pie assembled in the public square,
Addressing them, he said : "hast
year Gomez and Maeeo went west,
destroying right and left. This
year I am coming east to finish
what they left. I am going to
make grim war here, and before I
get through the country will be as
bare as the palm of my hand. »i
"The troops in the town have
acted like vandals. They are in
m any instances quartered in pri¬
vate families. Twenty were allot¬
ted to the house of a mulatress of
good repute. 1 am informed that
they horribly abused the hostess,
although Gen. Weyler has hitherto
sternly prohibited and mercilessly
punished such atrocities of his sol¬
diers. They have not been rare.
"Cattle for a large number ol
soldiers have been killed on the
public streets and their entrails left
to fester and rot under the hotCub
an sun, spreading disease. Rob¬
bery by soldiers is prevalent. A
Spanish clerk in a Spanish store
pursued one of the thieving sol¬
diers, who had stolen something,
and killed him. The clerk, of
course, will be shot. He is in this

the corn was burned by troops four
days ago. Farm houses were
razed to the ground. As I have
no means of verifying them, I will
make no mention of the stories of
the wholesale slaughter of farmers
in the country round about Who¬
ever the Cuban chief near here is,
he has been doing some hot fight¬
ing. Fully five hundred wounded
men have been brought back to
town by ox teams. I can see hos¬
pitals from my cell window. The
Spaniards and Cubans alike have
been much maltreated here.
General Segura, while reeonoit
ering in the province of Santa
Clara, has recently h: d several
skirmishes with the insurgents in
which the enemy lost thirteen men
killed. The Spanish troops des¬
troyed a hospital for wounded in¬
surgents and a prefecture of the
enemy.
The insurgent leader, Quentin
Vidal, has been killed by the troops
under the command of Lieutenant
Colonel Linares, in the vicinity of
Cifuentos.
Herrman and the Tramp.
Herrman came into a restaurant
where the Chronicle of the Roch
ester Democrat and Chronicle was
lunching with a couple of theatri¬
cal acquaintances, friends of the
magician, and he joined the party.
He was in great vein, and during
an hour or so ot chat and tobacco
did most astonishing things with
cigars, corks, glasses, napkins,
and the like. There came a piti¬
ful looking tramp with a tale of
woe, to which the non-necromatic
members of the quartet listened
with more impatience than sympa¬
thy. But Herrman, in his broken
English, began questioning the
fellow. "Starving, eh ?” -Got
money ? Not a cent! Too bad! » >
His hand went to his waistcoat
pocket, but it paused, or seemed
to, on the way. He regarded the
vagrant sternly, and broke out with
a fine assumption of wrath:
( ( What do you call this? And
this?” And this? Meanwhile
gesticulating excitedly and rapidly
extracting silver pieces, quarters
and half-dollars from all over the
astonished tramp’s ragged gar
ments. 1 < Hah ! You’re a nice
swiudler! You take your money
and get out. Away with you!”
He forced the silver (it must have
amounted to $3 or $4) into the fel¬
low’s hand and started him by an
imperative gesture toward the
door. The dazed beggar, looking
more frightened than happy, went
off without a word. Herman’s
only comment was: "That fel¬
low will think he has met the
devil. I hope he won’t be too
alraid of the money to spend it.
4 ( What do you want to throw away
your money on a drunken loafer
like that for, Herrman?’’ said one
of his frieoiis. "Oh, well, it was
only a joke, apologized the pau
perizer, "and then, he was so mis
erable-looking. What would you? » }
And a shrug closed the subject,
Tilings Went His Way.
The Kaw river had overflowed
its banks, and for two miles after
crossing to the west bank the water
on the prairie was up to my horse’s
knees. We were splashing through
it when we reached an island about
thirty feet square. It was the crest
of a mound and the only dry spot
in sight. On this island, under a
shelter made of bed quilts, were
husband, wife and four children.
None of them appeared the worse
for wear, while the man smoked
his and had a smile on his
face as I halted and said :
.. So you’ve been driven out by
the flood, eh ?”
« l Yes, house went two days

< I Right here, stranger. This is
the highest pint on my claim. 1 )
11 And everything has been swept
away ?>> :
i 1 Every thing ’cept us. Yes
house gone, stable gone, every¬
thing gone. » »
„ With that he gave me a wink
seemed to take his loss with such
good nature that I observed :
«r Perhaps you figure that this
flood will enrich your land as an
offset to the damage?”
"Stranger!” he whispered, as he
entered the water up to his knees
to lay his hand on the saddle,
"Stranger, d’ye know what would
have happened if this flood hadn’t
come?”
H No. » )

Let Gen. Lee Be Retained
If President McKinley wishes to
gratify the people, regardless of
political beliefs ; if he desires, in
addition, to please the i • sound
money democrats,” who so largely
contributed to his election, he will
have no trouble in accomplishing
both objects by retaining General
Fitzhugh Lee in the consulate gen¬
eral at Havana.
General Lee, more than any otli
late adminis¬ . .
er appointee of the
tration, has tpyified the true Amer
lean spirit. Though Cleveland and
Olney were inimical to the Cuban
cause of liberty, though in cham¬
pioning American citizens like Ruiz
he was aiding that cause, General
Lee’s hot American blood would
not permit him to lie supine and
cynical, like his chiefs, when the
Spanish were violating the laws of
nations, insulting the United States
and outraging American citizens.
Disregarding everything but the
generous and humane impulses of
manhood, he has played the part of
a humane and generous man, and
has at once shamed his selfish su¬
periors and set an example of fiery
patriotism and reckless humanita
t ianism that was sadly needed in
this commercial age.
General Lee has deserved well of
his country, As his country’s
chief officer, President McKinley
should see to it that General Lee’s
deserts are rewarded. He should
immediately nominate for consul
general to Havana General Fitz¬
hugh Lee, of Virginia.—[New
York Journal.

P. P. P., Lippman’s Great Remedy, Saves
a Man From Becoming a Cripple.
Mr. Asa Airmons, a well-known
citizen of Jacksonville, Florida, was
afflicted by a terrible ulcer. Medical
skill seemed unavailing in stopping the
ravages of the terrible disease, The
leg was swollen and intensely painful,
as the ulcer had eaten its way down
to the -eery \>om. f»\\ Tlxx
treatments having failed to effect a
cure, the doctors said the leg must
come off. Just when it seemed that
Mr. Ammons would become a disabled
and a crippled man, he tried P. P. P.,
Lippman’s Great Remedy, and the re
suit was wonderful.
P. P. P. SAVES HIS LEG.
«( Jacksonville, Fla., July 1, IBS'S.—
Two years ago I had the worst nicer
on my leg I ever saw. It had eaten
down" to the bone, and my whole leg
below my knee, and my foot was
swollen and inflamed. The bone was
swollen and painful, and discharged a
most offensive matter. My physicians and
said I had necrosis of the bone,
my leg would have to come off. At
this stage I commenced to take P. P. P.
and to bathe my leg with hot eastile
soap suds. It began to improve at
once and healed rapidly, and is to-day
a sound and useful leg. Lippman’s Great
“ I think P. P. P.,
R -inedy, is all a man coukl ask for as
a blood' purifier, as I have known it to
cure so meterrible cases of blood poi¬
soning in a remarkably short time.

TERRIBLE BLOOD POISON.
The body covered with sores—two
bottles of P. P. P. made a positive and
permanent cure. This is only one of
many thousand similar cases.
Catarrh yields at once to P. P. P.
That smothered feeling at night, that
heavy feeling in the day—can and
shou ld be removed; P. P. P. will do it
if you only give it a chance.
Indigestion and constipation go hand
in hand. Headaches and total loss of
appetite are the results. Regulate
