To the majority of peo ple io this country it does not matter three straws whether Dewey is a Dem* oerat or a Republican ; it is sufficient that bo is an American, and that be whipped the Spaniards, The Pari. Figarc expected (o see tbe Spaniards at Manila wipe the American, out of existence. Said tbo Figaro recently: “With the fine, generous ardor of tbe Spaniards, we ought to expect some brilliant fight ing and heroic combats. And why should cot the Spanish ships come out victors iu tbe fight in the Philip pines? They are lees modern than tbe others, it is true, but they have the advantage of numbers, and be sides, material tbingsicre not every thing We must reckon with the bravery of those who work the gms, and who possees an ardeut faith in tbe nobility and rightfullneas of their cause.** After a while, probably, tbe Figaro will begin to think that all of tbe bravery, nobility and rightfulness is not on one side. When tbe little Petrel, of Admiral Dewey's squadron, comas borne ebe ought to be put in a glass case to re ceive tbe admiring attentions of Americans, says the Savannah News. She is a little bit of a craft, and is ra ted in tbe naval lists as a gunboat, but the reports show that she was in tbe thick of the fight, and destroyed not lees than three of tbe enemy “with her own bands,” so to speak. After tbe white flag bad been raised on Oavite, not for tbe purpose of ear* render, as tbe Spanish commander claimed, but in order to gain time to remove tbe women and children, tbe Petrel bluffed the garrison with a threat to blow tbe whole neighborhood off tbe face of tbe earth if American orders were not obeyed instantly. It is a pity that Congress cannot pass a special act promoting tbe Petrel to bo a line-of battle ship. CASTORIA For Tefant. and Children.

Magasine some exciting experiences that befell him in the course of an ele phant bust in th. turret.Xf Mobnnga. a dirtrict near the upper 4 Kongo river. Thia country, which la inhabited by Mobnnga cannibals, had not been visit ed by a white man before. Having bwa succearfnl In reaching a favorite ground for elephant., his guides left the hunter at midnight, retaming in their canoe. “After floundering about for some time, ” he aaya, "1 at length found an elephant path. The cane was trodden into tbe sodden ground about four feet in width, and tbe path led straight across the middle of the bamboo patch. On either side at the path the can* grew so thickly that I found it almoto impos sible to penetrate. A storm was raging. I distinctly heard elephants forcing their way through tbe forest in order evidently to reach some open space where they might be safe from falling tress. “In tbe intermittent flashes of light ning I got a glimpse of their great, ghostly tonne approaching the cane patch, and as the storm in- SHSSfI in fury the sound of elephants stampeding in all directions through the thick mam of bamboos impressed me in a most uncomfortable manner. Each moment I feared being trampled. The floundering, heavy footsteps occasional ly seemed to approach within a few yards of me, and I distinctly heard the frightened squeals of baby elephants as they plunged and stumbled in the swamp. "The storm ceased as suddenly as it came, and in tbe subsequent lull there was a constant dripping of water in the forest and the sound of falling branches. The elephants appeared to be standing motionless, and the air was onoe again filled with the eternal music of mosqui toes. “With tbe first indication of dawn my spirits rose, and I carefully wiped the mud from my rifle with the ragged sleeve of my shirt. While it was still too dark to distinguish tbe surround ings, I could plainly hear elephants stirring in al! directions. Crawling some little distance along the sloppy path, I suddenly distinguished the out line of an elephant’s head and back cut ting sharp against the gray morning sky. It was impossible in that light to estimate distance. “Creeping cautiously forward, I was startled two or three times by a low, rumbling sound peculiar to elephants, and which is in some way connected with their digestion. The cane patch appeared to be a perfect bavra of refuge for elephants during the storm, for on every side there came audible evidences of their presence. “When within what I judged to be 20 paces of my elephant, I was just able to discern bis ears, flapping spasmod ically to beat off the mosquitoes and sand flies that hovered around him, and his trunk swinging listlessly among the trampled cane, as If in search of some thing edible. Gradually I noticed a cer tain restiveness, as though the animal was conscious of danger. Raising hto trank in tbe air, he sniffed ■in various directions until his bead was turned straight toward me. , “Realizing that my presence was dis covered and that there was not an in stant to lose, I took a steady aim at his left shoulder and fired. The recoil of my eight bore rifle knocked me back ward, and as I struggled in the cane en tangled slush, enveloped in smoke, I was conscious of a deafening uproar. The rifle report echoed strangely through the forest, and the startled elephants charg ed madly forward in every direction, crashing through the dense foliage like giant tooomotives. “By the time I regained my feet and had run aside to be clear from tbe smoke I found my elephant slowly ris ing from the ground. By this time I was within 15 paces of the beast and fully realized the neoemity of firing a fatal shot. Trembling with excitement, I fired point blank at tbe animal’s fore head, and, quickly stooping below the smoke, I caught sight of a jet of blood spurting from tbe wound, while the ponderous beast slowly sank to the ground again—dead. “Reloading in haste, I took two snap shots at an elephant rushing past me, without other effect, -however, than to stop his progress. He stood for a mo ment gazing at me and twitching hto tail. Owing to wet or dirt I found diffi culty in opening my rifle, and in spite of frantic efforts I could not make the lever act. I can well recall tbe feeling of blank despair when the wounded beast, with coiled trunk and ears erect, rushed forward with a shrill scream. “I darted aside and fortunately fell, lost to view in a cwamp hole, complete ly covered with a mass of vines and branches. There I lay breathless for some moments, listening to the floun dering* of the wounded elephant. At length the noire died away, and with daylight all was still again.” Platlawn and Gold. A package of wire that weighs 28 pounds and rerem bles ordinary fine pol ished steel wire was entered at tbe ap praiser's department of the custom house some time ago and valued at |5,- 000. This is almost as much as the same weight of gold would be valued, and the wire attracted a good deal of attention. It was platinum wire, and for that rea son worth its weight in gold. A man who viewed it said that the demand for it had apparently increased greatly, as much more platinum, and* and manu factured, was coming through th* cus tom house now.—-Duluth N«ws-Trib- Bne - > XX " ' CANDY JF ■ cathartic n ~ t 1' jm jjm R/ w JX 1® PT TPP CONSTIPATION wc ALL 25. » drugcsts iii i re—— 111 1 " IML TfKOIIiIILMTCO.
