He was entrusted with an important dispatch, and being in danger ol falling into the bands of the Spaniards he pul H into a rubber tobacco pouch he bad in hie pocket, and forced bis mule to swallow it. He was captgred, but nothing be-* ing found upon him he was allowed to go, and on his arrival at hie place of destination the mule was killed am tbe important document whs cut out by a veterinary surgeon. “Shorty” ought to be given a medal for his clev erness. _________ The commissioner of agriculture ol Alabama recently made a tour through tbe eastern and southeastern portions of that state, with a view to investi* gating the crop prospects. As a result of bis trip, the commissioner ssys that witbin the past ten days the continu* ous rains and tbe ravages of the bol worms and rust have caused a decrease in percentage of tbe cotton crop o from twenty five to thirty five per cent, as compared with the prospects at the same time last year. MUesOpera-Bonffe H General Miles’ ievasion of Porto Rico is like a scene from upera-buffe. Nothing more comic was ever put upon the stage than some of the events which have accompanied it. When our troops made a landing at the little port of Ponce, tbe people marched down to tbe beach, loaded with cigars, tropical fruit and other gifts, with which they bombarded the, boats before they reached the shore. As the boys come on land, they were embraced by the effusive Porto Ricane, and loaded with tokens ol amity and good will. Ponce ia a goodly-sited city, the K second in importance on tbe island, two miles inland from the port. Ila surrender was demanded and received by telephone. Ito people made a hol iday festival of tbe surrender, and re ceived tbe American troops as oom* rades rather than invaders. Gilbert, of Mikado fame, never conceived a more comic situation. Thd outlying villages and military stations surrendered to officers who drove out from the city in vehicles, without either tbe pomp or tbe pano ply of terrible war. But tbe elimax of absurdity was tbe glad surrender of the town of Coamo to a newspaper correspodent who strayed into it, hav* ing lost his way on a obscure road, fc; The whole invasion is provocative of laughter, if not productive of glory, and would furnish tbe text for a comic opera libretto on tbe Merry War.— Macon New*.
