Giving to the typhoid fever at Tam pa it is jin osed to move some of the trooos nor h, .deluding detachment of ctvrdry regiments left behind by the Rough Riders and the regular cavalry when they went to Santiago. While Lincon was practicing law in Spiingfield, the fire-house company, desiring to buy some new apparatus, scut out subscription papers and one youthful collector called upon the future president. He was closely ex amined on the purpose of the subs cription, and finally Lincon agreed to subscribe in this fashion: Well, I’ll tell Mrs Lincon is generally good ma tured after supper—and then I’ll tell her l been thinking of giving SSO to the brigade, and she ll say ‘Abe, will yon never haae any sense? Twenty dollars is quite enough’ So to.morrow, rny boy, you come around and get your ♦20.” DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an niiiamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rambling or imperfect hearing, and w hen it is err rely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube re stored to its normal condition, hear ing will be destroyed forever; nine eases oui of ten are causad by catarrh which is nothing bu’ an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send fe r c'rulars, tree. F. C. Chexev .St Cos , Toledo, O.

TBKSOI.DIKR'S vot* We find the followin sensible sug gestion in the Augusta Herald: “The proposition is being discussed in Georgia and other states ot how to take the soldiers’ vote in camp. The proposition is being seriously con. sidered of sending commissions to the various Georgia regiments, in order that the soldiers may vote in the fall alections. The bpst thing to with the soldier vote is to let it alone. The are no specially heated or close contests that from a political stand point will drive the party managers to such a course. There is every rea son why the soldier should forget local and paitisan po'itics while he is wear ing his country’s uniform and doing his country’s servire. Georgia can well afford this year to do without the votes of the Georgia regments in the field, and there isn t another state but what can do tho same. Leave the soldier for soldier ing and let the people and politicians do the voting.” A SERIOUS PROBLEM ON HAND. Hostilities hare been stoped be tween Spain and the U. S. it now re mains to be What the Cuban insui - geets under the leadership of Gomez, and Garcia will do. If they are willing to trust their cause to the United States and the management of the Washington government, the sit uation will be greatly simplified, but shoulb they decide to fight- on, a serious problem will present itself for solution. The United States having compelled the Spaniards to lay down their arms, cannot afford to have any armed force attack them, and consequently will have to devisa ways and methods of stopping the work of the Gomez army. To do this will involve the recognition of the Gomez government or will require the American forces to suppress the Cuban insurgents. In any event the Cuban question is here for settlement and it promises to prove quite vexations in all its partic ulars. —Athens Banner. EUROPE REVISES HER OPINION. When the United States of Amer ica had the temerity to declare war against the Kingdom of Spain, there was scarcely a European nation that had any idea that the “American pigs” could fight. The Unit/d States hav ing always been a peaceful nation, giv en to the prosecution of business, with no standing army to amount to any thing, presented a ridiculous spectacle to the average European —Three months of active and aggressive war fare has served to open the eyes or Uncle Sara’s warlike capabilities, and Euiope has reversed her opinion—So thoroughly convinced on this subject are the European nations that not one of them would willingly jump into a war with the Uaited States, and it is the judgement of the best military cu ics of the age that America can hold her own with the strongest Athens Banner. General Lee is to have 5,000 troops with which"to occupy the province of Havanna. The date is set at October 1. The Immures are expected to be ready for this duty. Other volunteer regiments who have seen no fighting will probably be required for the gar rison and for preserving ordert hrough out Cuba. o The Savannah News publishes this Sit of history: Thirty-six years ago Generalf oseph Wheeler had the pleas ure of capturing the officer he is now servin under in Cuba In March, 1802 William R. Shafter was a major in the nineteenth Michigan. He was with a foraging expedition one day when a body of Wheeier’s cavalry surround ed and capture 1 the whole outfit. Shaftor was sent to Richmond and speDt six weeks in Libby prison. Nobody in the country has a higher opinion of Little Joe as a strategist and fighter than General Shafter.

It may be well to group some ot them here The world will not forget two sen fences uttered by Capt. Philip of the b, ttleship Texas at the moment that he discovered that the last of Cevera’s fleet had gone down: “Don’t cheer boys, the poor devils are dying.’ And “I want to make public atknowledge rnent here that I believe in God the Father Almighty.” ‘Tve got them now, and they will never go home,” said Commodore Schley when he located Cevera’s fleet in Santiago harbor. It was prophetic He got >hem, the Colon going down last just where the Virgtniua was captured in 1873 by the Snamards. “Glad to see you, but do not get in the range of the American fire, when the bombardment begins.” said Ad miral Dewey to Price Henry of Ger* many. “No one knows but Dewey and I,” answered the captain of the British man-of war at Manila when the Ger man nrrairal asked what he (the brit ishcr) would do if he (the admiral) interfered with the seige of Manila. “Don’t hamper me with instructions I’m not afraid of the whole Spanish fleet,” wired Capt. Clark of the Ore gon from a South American port when he was on his famous voyage around Cape Horn to the scene of war, and when he was warned that it was prob ably that Cevera had sailed to inter cept him. Aud the Oregon was in at the death: “Remembea the Maine.” Commo dore Schley’s signal to his squadron. They remembered and avenged. “They (the Americans) bring yon the fostering arms of a free people, whose greatest power is justice and humanity to all living within their fold.” GeD. Miles Miles’ proclama tion to the Porto Ricans upon landing at Ponce. The whole document, which is quite brief, is worthy of a piace in every scrapbook in the land. “The government will see to it tbit our country gets tho maximum of commerical advantaga and the minimum of governmental control,” said President McKindley in speaking of the affair out at Manilo. “I am not an eminent personage,” Cervera said with deep pathos to M Cambon. “I am only an unfortunate ) a poor Spanish officer, who saw his ships destroyed, his commanders and men killed and his flag pulled down- I love Spaia and would spare her further misfortune if those in authority will but hear me.” “See there, boys the Yankees are running. No d—n it I mean the Spaniards,” said fighting Joe Wheeler at Santiago. “Don’t mind me hors; go on fight ing.”—Ccpt. Allyn K. Capron of the Rough Ridors. “Don’t swear, boys, shaot.”—Col. Wood to the Rough Riders. There must be no more recalls; iron will break at las’.”—Lieut.
