A beautiful smile is to the tenance svhat the sunbeam is to the landscape, it embellishes an infe¬ rior face, and redeems an ugly one. A good Ufa is tho host philoso¬ pher; a dear conscience is tho best law; honesty is tho best policy, and temperance is tho best modi cian. Tiik war department has decid¬ ed that it will not allow three ma¬ jors to each Georgia regiment. This up sets some of Gov. Atkinsons plans. A notable coincidence is that the destruction of the Spanish fleet at Manilla and tho Spanish fleet in the Caribean sea, both occurred on Sunday morning.

As The Record goes to press ttie combined forces of both the army and navy are concentrated against Santi ogo, and the complete annihilation of that city and the capture of the Span¬ ish troops is certain. Gen.Shafter has notified tiie nrmy officials at Washington that lie can knock the city into atoms witli light guns, and is pourng a deadly fire into the city and trendies. The force under the command of Shaffer in the present engoge ment U 22 ’ 8,W men> Tiie principal event of the past week in war circles was the release of Lieut. Uobson and bis seven comrades from Morro castle, the Spanish prison in Santiago de Cuba. One officer of equal rank with Hobson was ex¬ changed for him, while two common Spanish soldiers were given up for each of file'seven brave seamen who faced almost sure death when they ran tiie Merrimac into the narrow ent¬ rance of the harbor of Santiago and sank Iter. Tiie Kougli Hitlers being in the tront trenches were tiie first to see the released men, and ran to them and hugged and kiised them, lifted them on their shoulders and carried them up and down the line. Commodore Watson is ready to sail for Spain with ids squadron, and ere this week’s Record reaches some of its readers Admiral Camara and his Span¬ ish fleet will doubtless be playing a game of hide-and-seek near the mouth of the Suez canal, hunting for a hole to crawl into. Gen. Miles, commander-in-chief of the United States army, is in active command of his forces, and will per¬ sonally conduct an attnck on San Juan, Porto ltico, immediately. Should this expedition prove successful, (and there is little doubt of it in the minds of the average American) tiie entire army and navy will be concentrated against Havana. At least this is the plan outlined by the powers that be in Washington, and yet there are all kinds of rumors of peace being de¬ clared. Really, propositions have been made by both sides looking to that end, but all were declined. The in¬ habitants of Santiago are reported to be starving, and many women and children have gone into tiie American lines, asking for protection and some¬ thing to eat. Evidences of Cervera’s complete loss of his tleet are becoming more apparent daily, and the late dis¬ patches give harrowing accounts of dismembered bodies floating ashore— arms, legs, heads, and other portions of human anatomy that the sharks failed to get, are seen at alt t.imss. Hungry vultures swrrtn the beach for miles, and altogether tiie aoaounts are too sickening to be retold. Ilobson says he and hi* men were well treated while in prison, which is a surprise to iis all. The Rough Riders acquitted them¬ selves Handsomely in the attack oil Santiago, and Col, Wood has been made a brigadier-gensral, and Lieut. Col. Roosevelt has been made n colonel, in recognition of their valor New Mexico sent 100 men to join them Sunday. ) OFFICIAL. General Wheeler issued the fol¬ lowing official report of the first skirmish on Cuban soil: The cnsualities in tho engage¬ ment were: First United States volunteer cavalry, strength 500: killed 8, wounded 84. First United Slates regular cav¬ alry, strength 244; killed 7, wound¬ ed 8. Tenth United States tegular cav¬ alry, strength 220; killed 1, wound¬ ed 10. Total strength 964 men; killed 16, wounded 52. Respectfully submitted, Joseph Whaler, Major General United States Vol¬ unteers Commanding. THE STRANGER WHO RIZ UP. A mile outside of Groversville I met four men, who were carrying fifth on a door, and a natural curiosity prompted me to ask how the victim had been injured. “Wall, stranger.” replied one of the four, “thrt’s my sou Ben and I reckon I can give it to ye straight. Me and Ben was up to Groversville this mawuin’ to get a pa’r o’ bates was butes we went fur, wasn’t it, Bear “Yes, pop,” faintly replied the man on the door, as he op¬ his eyes and looked around. “We went into a stoh and nsked butes, and in that stob was a lookin’ critter who was crackers, and cheefiaand ask * tho w , y to p inevU l 0 He . was - } )mnb ie-lookhi’ cri tter, wasn’t he, - '’ as „ “it wasn’t ’, none o’ Ben „ ’a , bixncss . that criUiy, . . ., continued the man, “but lie was foeliii 3 colly kinder wanted to do sutiMhiii’ He look* the man over and ten sc*z to me: “Pop, I’m gom' to skeer that outer this town and half way tho mounting.’ “As how?” sez I. : >ii his caiy k-z he". | “Mahbe he’ll skeer and mebbe he won’t, sez I. ‘lie looks pow¬ erful lonesome and down-hearted, but yo’ can’t alius tell l.ow a crit¬ ter will perform.’ That’s vvhatyou said and I said, wasn’t it, Ben?’’ “That’s what we said,” sighed Ben. “I didn’t want you to yell, bpt you felt colty and wouldn’t take my advice?” “I jest wanted to skeer him, pop.” “Yes, you wanted to skeer him. Yon got around behind him and drawed a long breath and let ‘er go. It was a mighty yell, Ben— the powerfullest yell I ever heard. I’m braggin’ about that yell, Ben.” “Thankee, pop.” “But it didn’t skeer nobody, like you thought it would. The strang¬ er jest riz up slow, drawed a pistol from behind, and the fust tiling you knowed you had three bullets into ye. He riz up slow, didn’t he, Ben?” “He did” “And he fired three bullets into your karkass and walked out doalis with his crackers and cheesi, and said you could bev more lead if you hankered fur it?” “Yes, pop he said that,” whis¬ pered Ben. “But he didn’t want no more,” continue ! the father as ho turned to me. “He’d got all he wanted and some to spare, and so we put him on a doali and ar’ talcin’ him home fur the doctor to work at. Mebbe lie’ll die and mebbe he’ll git well. If he dies I shan’t blame that bumble-lookin' critter ‘tall, if lie gits well he won’t never do no more yellin’ in anybody’s ear on less thar’s a handy hill to dodge behind. That’s all—let the pur ceshun move on.” ITEMS OP INTEREST. As soon as the cockerels begin to crow s opera to them from the pullets. They will thrive better, and besides, they require different feed. If the young chicks are confined in barren yards give them plenty of cabbage, lettuce or grass from the lawn. They will relish it for a change, Don’t let the chicks roost witli the old fowls until at least three months old. Their breast bones are tender and will become crooked if permitted to sit on the roost. If young broods are cooped foi th* first month it gives the chick two chances to reach maturity whore it would have but one if miming about while young and tender. Sunshine is the best medicine for poultry as well as men. If the house is dark and gloomy, the fowls will stay out of it even in tho^vorst weather. Nothing likes sunshine more than poultry. Cholera among chickens is a di¬ sease which is a result of the poor conditions which surround them. With good foot!, fresh, pure water, daily clean quarters and a good range, it seldom gets a foothold. Lice sap the blood from the chickens, and cause restlessness of ights; and on mornings fowls come from the roost feverish anu thirsty. They drink too much, and sit around and soon get indi¬ gestion. They take cold easily when their systems are so impaired, and the cold, if let alone, runs into roup. Eight thousands earlier pigeons, all well trained, are in use in the German army,. Sheep, thrive beat in a pasture where wolves are numerous. The wolvft holes serve to drain the laud. In the regular army about 25 per cent are foreigners, in the na¬ vy 52 per cent of the petty officers, and 42 per cent of the seamen are of foreign born.
