More Volunteers.
The president lias issued a proc¬

Volunteers. This will make the
total army strength, regular and
volunteers, 280,000.
When the little Petrel, of Admiral
Dewey’s squadron, says the .Savan¬
nah News, comes homo she ought to
be put in a glass case to receive the
admiring attentions of Americans.
Sim is a little bit of a craft, and is
rated in the naval lists as a gunboat',
biit the reports show that she was in
the thickest of the fight, and dfe-
stro ed not loss than three of the
enemy “with her own hands,” so to
speak. After the white flag had
been raised on the Cavite, not for
the purpose of surrender, as the
Spanish commander claimed, but iu
order to gain time to remove, the
wOttien and .children the Petrol
bluffed the garrison with a threat to
blow the whole neighborhood off tire
face of the earth if American orders
were tint obeyed Instantly. It is a
pity that Congress cannot pads a sph-
eial act promoting tho Petrel to bo a
line-of-battle ship.
uuteer When armies men of the into regular and they vol- J
go action
will wear around their necks little
tags of aluminum by which they may 1
be identified if found lator on the
field of battle. In the last war it
was often impossible to properly
identify tho dead soldiers, and thqus-
atids were buried in graves marked
“unidentified.” Tho War Depart¬
ment has prepared this system of
identification, and it has been deck
ded that on each tag shall be the
numeral assigned each man on the
muster rolls, with tho letter of ids
company, battery or troop, and his
regiment. These tags will bo sent
to troops in the South when it is
evident that a fight is on hand, In
the civil war officers of somo of tho
regiments had little silver shields in¬
scribed with the wearer’s name, rank
and regiment.
There was a time when Spain was
.
dreaded by all tho world. Several
times sho made England tremble,
and other powi rs sought to avoid a
conflict with tho mighty Dons. Per¬
haps the most memorable seige in nil
history was made by the Spaniards,
A few years after England had taken
Glbralta Spain attempted tp regain
it and tho soige lasted for three
years and seven moirihs. The as¬
saults were constant and fearful, but
the heroic garrison repelled every
attack, but finally Spain abandoned
the effort to retake tho impregnable
defense and retired after suffering
great loss. Bqt Spain’s pristine
glory has faded, her territory is being
taken from her, and the day may
come when that barbarous country
will be bit without any land of its
own
This is the way the talented lady
editress of tho Miller County Liberal
looks at it: “A truly refined gentle¬
man should think too much of him¬
self ovon to pass off a few idle mo
mentis with a man who know's not
even the first principles of a gonHe-
man, no matter how funny or enter¬
taining he may he.”
In an exchange of a recent date
wo read of a lady who lives in Ar-
kansas and is 104 years old and has
never been kissed. Wo have no j
such women as that in Ihis section
of the country.

Bam Jones says that marriage is

dren who enter the home are given
to milk bottles and nurses in baby¬

and given over to society, dress and

of reading their Bibles anil saying
