An old civil war veteran tells a good story ot how a lazy private in his regi ment was cured of shirking, says the Philadelphia Times. It appears that the fellow was utterly no good. lie bad been drafted into service, and thereafter devoted hie whole time and aiumtiuo tv getting out of it. Ha spent more than half of his time in the hospital tent. He ran the gamut of all the diseases that flesh is heir to or has acquired through its own mis guided efforts. Somehow, even the severity of military discipline was in adequate to his case; shirk be could and would. One day the regiment was ordered to battle. There was to be a long, hard march, and a fierce conflict at the end of it. When the orders came the shirker himself collapsed. He was taken loan ambulance, where he lay apparbsUjPin a comatose condi tion, bearing nothing, heeding noth' iog. The surgeon, a new officer just appointed on the staff, was sent for to see him The physician chanced to be a keen-witted man, and, after tak ing in the situation, he bandaged the fellows eyes, motioned to a private to take bis feet, while be himself took the bead, and without more adore dumped the comatose shirker head foremost into the river. As it was the dead of winter, with ice blocks clog*, ging the water, a more violent remedy could not be imagined, and the way the fellow twain to shore Was a cau tion. From that day forth he was never known to try his game of shirk again. Yellow Jaundice Cured. Suffering humanity should be sup plied with every means possible for its relief. It is with pleasure we pub lish the following : “This is to certify that I was a terrible sufferer from yel low jaundice for over six months, and was treated by some of the beat phy sicians in our city and all to no avail.

Another Land Battle in Which the American* Are Victorious-No » New Cases of Yellow Fever- WABHISGTON, June M-WThe ma rine* stationed nif the coast of Guan tanamo bay made their Ires »gs res aive movement ag-inet the Spanish guerrillas last Tuesday. The marines were under Captain Elliott and had the co operation of a large number of Cubans, under Colonel Lwborda. These Ibrcek made an attack upon a Spanish camp abodt five mile from the American position, and killed about forty Spaniards and destroyed the onl? welkin the vicieily. Two Cubans were killed, fonr wounded and one American was slightly wounded. The filing of tho Cuban warriors was mild throughout the whole en gagement, but they were apparently without fear and showed the utmost contempt tor Spanish bullets. It Was a great victory for the little squad ofrmarines and put the com mand in high spirits. Advices from the headquarters of the Cuban civil government at La Guadaja, in Camaguey, report that not less than 5,000 Spanish volun teers and many regulars from Puerto Principe and Nuevitas garrisons have deserted to the patriot army. The im mediate cause of desertion was the fear of the American fleet. A dispatch from Manila says: "The fighting continues incessantly. There are skirmishes at intervals day and night and lack of provisions has compelled the Spaniards to yield at certain points Both ammunition and food are most scarce. Neverthe less, the Spaniards are animated by the best spirit and are fighting heroic ally. The wounded who are crowding into the churches and convents, have been placed under the protection of she Red Cross society. w Official dispatches to the Marine hospital service show there bave been no tresb developments io the yellow fever situation in the seutb. They announce the opening of Camp Fontainebleau, the detention point, just out of McHenry, Bliss , and that there are now 21 suspects from Mc- Henry in camp. A leading member of the diplomatic corps said today that the departure of Gen. Shafter’s first army of invasion to Cuba put an end to all present prospects of peace. While none of the foreign represent* stives hire has ever made peace over tures United Stales government, yet a peaceful solution has always seemed to the diplomatic fraternity as within the bounds of possibility, even probability, so long as the troops re mained at Tampa and Key West. Now, however, with 15,000 Ameri can soldiers about to take a position on Spanish soil, it is said that the con ditions opportune for peace have un dergone a material change, as it com mits the United States to an aggres sive land campaign, and also makes it impossible for Spain to adopt any other course than that of defending her soil against invasion.

HIGHWAY ROBBERS. 0 They Hold Up Several Hack Driven | Last Night. Dick Ball, one of the negroes run ning a back between this city and Camp Nnrthen, reported to the police last night that he had been held up about 8 :30 o'clock and robbed of sev eral dollars Ball says he was on hie way tdesnip and as he reached ths brow of the hill thia aide of the grounds a man wear ing the uniform of a soldier, with hie campaign hat pulled over hie eye*, stepped out from the shadows and commanded him to halt. Ball slopped his team and asked the man if he wished to go to tho city, The highwayman then drew bis pistol and pointing it at the negro, com manded him to deliver up all the money be bad. The command was accompanied by a fearful oath, and the negro being unarmed, was forced to obey. He had presence of mind, however, te outwit the ; robber, as he. told him be : barf turned over to his employer all he had but souie small change, which be handed over. By resorting to this ruse, he saved several dollars which he had in anoth er pocket. In a short time other back drivers reported similar experiences to the police, and some of them stated there were two or three parties at different places along the road, who attempted to bold them up. It created consternation in the ranks of the hack drivers and they positively refused Io carry any one to camps and put up their teams, thus forcing all the soldiers wbo bad come to the city to walk back. The matter was reported to Col. Lawton, who detailed a squad to in vestigate the matter, but at a late boor they bad made no arrests. He Will Accept- Mr. H. N SlaruM, who waa rsceully. elected professor of agriculture in the University of Georgia, was asked by a Call reporter yesterday if be would accept the chair offered him. Mr. Starnes replied that while bo had received ne official notice from the board of trustees regarding the matter, be had been informed by a friend on the board of their action,and after careful consideration bad decid» ed to accept the profeasorsMp. Mr. Starnes was unable to state when be would assume tbo lesposi bilities of that important branch of the university, but expressed the opin ion that be would take charge at tho openiug of the fall term. Mr. Starnes has for fife years past been the efficient horticulturist ot the Georgia Experiment Station and bis removal to Athens will necessitate the election of bis successor at the next meeting of the board of directors, which occurs the first week in July.

The bright ffiSt'of Campbell, the poet, has no especial Scottish characteristic, but Having been perpetrated by a renowned Scotsman it is worth reproducing here. Campbell, it may be remembered, is the author of “Hohenlinden,” which begins: On Linden, when the sun was low, AU bloodies* Uy the untrodden snow, And dark as winter w«j the flow Os Inter rolling rapidlr. The poet attended an evening party on one occasion, and when the gentlemen were securing their hats and coats previous to departure suddenly the lights went out. Tn the confusion which followed aome'oqe puehqd vigorously against Campbell, knocking him down stairs. The oilending gentleman at once said, “Beg pardon, who’s ttareJ” and a voice replied from the deplffbelow, “It is I, sir, rolling rapidly.” OA.BTOHILA. Wanted to rent good Milch cow.

A change ip tho system in naming our idps of war would seem to be advisable, ✓> far as certain features arc concerned. The policy of naming'a class of ships after the states of the Union ondtaniAher class after important or historical cities and towns is admirable. Still another class bears the names of our great naval heroes. This also is as it should be, so far as the games are regarded, but it seems entirely inappropriate that those nanjes should be borne by tho class to which they are a*- sfgnod. In the British navy the names of the great commanders are given to the greatest and finest of the ships, and the example should be followed by us. Those names would thus be carried into all parte of tho world and made familiar to all peo ple. But it seems almost as Inappropriate to (five such names as Fakragut, Porter, Someq: and tho like to a lot of torpedo boats—craft without dignity or magnitude —as it would be to assign those names to steam launches, tugboats or vessels of the mosquito fleet. The practice of naming the torpedo boats after this fashion is said to be thoroughly distasteful to the officers of the.navy. There is a certain appropri ateness in giving the name of Cushing to such a craft, for It was the daring act of blowing up the Confederate ram Albe marle by a torpedo boat extemporized from a launch that gave Cushing his fame. The name of Ericsson, too, is appropriately as sociated with a peculiarly modern ana de structive engine of vwv, bat it would be betten Io tho great* Swede, to Whom' wo are all deeply indebted, by giving his name to one r cf the best of the monitors in honor of his invention of the type.—Boston Herald. Give Maw York a Chanee. n «»id Boston, have he* tea party told in every school history? So did New York when out Sons of Liberty, as sembling without disguise, boldly boarded the British tea ship London and dumped 18 chests of the hated tea into the salt wa ters off what is now Battery park. Ths Boston massacre is often spoken of as the first bloodshed of the Revolution, but it was antedated nearly a month and a half by New York’s battle of Golden Hill, wherein at least one patriot of New York city loet his life defending a liberty pole that stood on what is now City Hall park from the assaults of the soldiers of King DidJßoston have a Paul Revere! New York more than matches him in Marinas Willett capturing almost single handed the guns which a British regiment were car rying off to use against the patriots assem bling in New England, and the act of Wil lett far outranks in picturesque heroism the story told in verse by Longfellow. Fraunce’s tavern, still standing at the cor ner of Broad and Pearl street*, in this city, where the Sons of Liberty plotted in dependence and where after independence had been won Washington delivered his famous farewell address, easily ranks-with Old South church and Faneuil hall as a spot sacred to the lover of his country.— New York Teachers’ Quarterly.
