Owing to their exposure to the yellow fever they will be neither taken to Porto Rico nor returned to tbe United States for a time.

They must be led gjnlly and gradually out of the atmos phere of feudal despotism in which they have existed all their lives, and instructed in tbe ways of civilized tic mocracy before lbby will be fitted to bold the reins of government unaided. The United States is responsible before tbe world lor tbe establishment of a stable government, and having under taken tbe task we must carry it out in ? an enlightened and charitable spirit Washington Poet. ■ The New York Mail and Express in commenting upon the weather has : this to say: “Is tbe matter of weath er tbe soldiers in the southern camps fared almost aa well as, and in some I instances better, than we did yesterday In New York. Tby highest tempera ture reported was 93 degrees, from Jacksonville. The sky was clear. At Chickamaugua it was only 82 and at ' Key West 82/ Tbe local thermometer recorded 88 degrees and tbe reached 98 degrees, or within two of complete saturation. A more depress- I log day has seldom been experienced I bore. south has been making ’ many boasts recently that southern weather is milder than our northern variety. During tbe torpid wave of two weeks ago it was distinctly cooler io New Orleans than here and yester day record goes to show that there 1 may be some truth in these state ments” j A Clever Trick- .

United States would be embroiled in eerioua trfuubto with some of the pow ers of Europe were it not for the prev ent altitude of Eoglend. The Herald says; “It tbe United States evma» through with belter fortunes than Japan, the fad will be largely owing to the now well-understood feet that Great Brit ain has stood by America in all tbe diplomatic lilies that have taken place •ioee the war opened and will be dis posed *o do so until it has ended. Were it not fur this, tbe difficulties of the siioAiioo would be only beg. Doing, and peace might be indefinitely post poned until Russia and France as well aa Germany bad completed tbeir ar raogamenta for dividing tbe Philip pines. As tbe case ata ode, tbe existence of Great Britain’s enormous fighting machinery, ready to concentrate at a few hours* notice wherever it may be needed, gives to British diplomata, and through them U> American diplomats, a potent influence in tbe negotiations that are even now doobtfan being carried on. If there is an early peace, it may be due to tbe latent British force almost a* much as to the active American ode ” Campbell’* Joke. The bright mot of Campbell, tbe poet, has do especial Scottish characteristic,, but having been perpet rated by a renowned Scotsman it is worth reproducing here. Campbell, it maybe remembered, is ths author at ••Hohenlinden," which begins: On Unden. when the sun was low. All bloodless lay the untrodden snow. And dark a* Winter was the flow Os Is*r rolling rapidly. The poet attended an evening party on one occasion, and when the gentlemen Were aecuringtboir hate and coats jirevious to departuro suddenly the lights went out. In tbe confusion which followed some one pushed vigorously against Campbell, knocking him down stairs. The offending gentlttnan at once said, “Beg pardon, whofodbsref" and a voice replied from the degtft lx low, “It to I, sir, rolling rop idly.” —IJOVML iHfiniiifimiHtitiiHHMiififmfiaiiHMiiimiHftniHfe MOTHERS, 1 READ THIS! ] Do Yoa Want to Know the Best Remedy for Flatulent Colic, Dysentery, Nausea, Coughs, i Cholera Infantum, Teething Children, * t ‘ Cholera Morbus, j w Pains, Griping, 1 And All Diseases of the Stomach and Bowels? * X ii toi Ajvmd IS THE STANDARD.
