Of the dyker, 1,000 feet were swept away on one farm and 1,200 feet on another. and all these will have to be rebuilt. The lowland crops on all three farms are a total loss. On one farm 109 acres are covered with sand or cut into immense holes, much larger Mr. Young says es- timates of the loss range all the way from $30,000 to. $225,000. He says he cannot give an estimate, buv that the loss is much over $30,000—Raleigh Press- Visitor. than a house. WAR WITH SPAIN. Captain-General Weyler Wants Spain to Fight the United States. A special to the Atlanta Constitu- tion of yesterday says: Captain-General Weyler is seeking to bring about a war between Spain and the United States. Cuban advices received to-night state that Lachua aud other Hayana papers conuinue 40 attack the United States in & savage manner. Not only is the country attacked, but President Cleves Jand and Secretary Olney are being Jampooned. These attacks are in ___ spired by Weyler, and some of them, po itaseaid, were: written by his private hy, ‘ seerétary. All of them were submit. ted to the captain ‘general before being published. _. Weyler’s motive is said to be to so @mbroil Spain and the United States that war cannot be avoided, Weyler ‘|they need it ish ambassador at Washington. He claims Delorme has yielded too much to the United States and thinks the minister should be recalled to Spain. He is also enraged tecause Delorme fa- vors immediate concessions to Cuba. Weyler’s idea is that no concessions should be granted as long as Cuban re- mains in arms. Weyler’s animosity against Delorme is reflected in inspired articles in the Havana papers demand- ing the recall of the minister. It is openly talked in Havana cafes that unless Delorme is recalled or Wey- ler succeeds in causing war between Spain and the United States the cap- tain general will resign. +, LL ES a He Came to Time. Last week during court in Summer- ville a murder case came up for tri. 1. The defendant claimed his rights un- der the law, and a full panel of forty- eight men was summoned from which to geta jury. Slowly, and one by one, the solicitor put the usual questions as to their competency to try the case at issue. Finally a long, lank juror stood up in answer to his name and answered the questions all right until he stumbled upon this one : “Are you conscientiously opposed to cypital punishment ?” The juror didn’t understand, and the question was repeated. Finally, after much hesitation, he seemed to grasp the idea, and replied earnestly : Oh, I believe m hangin’? ‘em when hd The court, and the spectators smiled, while the defense sang out “Object \”’ Toid of Bryan’s Father.

Light vieasantry ul Englund, The chief thing about the great republic is, after all, that it is very big, but one little intaglio, found at Delphi or Olympia, is of more inter- fascinating. Tho opprobrium of gi- gantic newness lies upon the Amer- ican continent, and there are num. bers of Americans who would ex- change all New York, and Chicago into the bargain, for one ancient monastery or one battlemented for- tress of the past. Our transatlantic cousins are a wondertul and delight- tui people, but they cannot show a singlo antique, unless they have im- ported it from tho old world. It is not surprising, then, that as soon as they have ‘‘made their pile,” or are on the way to making it, the first thing Americans think of is a visit to Europe, and, most of all, to the /old land. It has been said that the strongest wish of every American is to be an Englishman. But, if they only knew it, they are Englishmen —London Standard. ee eed Napoleon aud Robert Fulton. Yhe emperor nad revealed the truth to his favorite brother when he said that he himself would never attempt a landing on British shores, but that he might send Ney to Ire. land, It isa significant straw that when Robert Fulton offered to make the flotilla independent of wind and wave by the use of steam Napoleon, the apestle of science, friend of Monge and Volney, member of the institute, displayed very little scien- tific interest. For some time past he bad heen coquetting with the American inventor, granting him inadequate subsidies to prosecute his schemes for applying steam. power to various marine engines of destruction. He probably intended to keep others from using Fulton’s inventions, J’bat he made no fair trial of them himself would seem to show that he had no real use for them.—‘' Life of Napoleon,’’ by Pro fessor William M.

Three things, writes a naval con- tributor, there are which do more than anything else to lighten the burden of existence such as it is borne by Jack Tar, says the West. minster Gazette. These three are grog, the hornpipe and a pet animal, and the pet animal is the greatest solace of the three. There is scaroe- ly a vessel afloat, from one of our line of battleships down to a canal. boat, that has not a two or four foot- ed pet on board. Sailors proverbially make pets of almost any animal they are shipmates with—elephants, bears, sheep, goats, monkeys, ga- zelles and raccoons among the mam- malia, bantam cocks, parrots, cock- atoos, magpies and sea gulls among bipeds, and even inhabitants of the ocean, such as seals and turtle, have been laid under contribution to pro- vide amusement for our bluejackets! | An elephawt scems ‘‘a large or- der’? as a sailor’s pet aboard ship, but who of the senior naval officers does not remember the vessel called by the nickname of H. M. 8. Me- ‘nagerie, and the elephant on beard | of that paddle wheel frigate when they were on the Indian station, , The 9 elephant was regularly stationed land batnessed to the jib halyards, land when the order was given to. | | “‘Make all plain sail,’’ he made a tri- umphant bellow and ran along the | waist until the pipe was sounded to | ‘Belay ''* to the delenda est Car- “thago of any toes that got into his | way ! Admiral Sir G. W—— told me that when he commanded an Indian troopshipa full grown tiger was em- barked for passage to England as 4 the queen. It was a magnificent ‘animal, and for many years after- ward was exhibited at the zoological gardens. One morning, about 5:80, ' the captain was awakened by a mes- senger, who said, ‘‘Please sir, the tiger has broken loose!’ His reply was, ‘‘Lock my cabin door, and call me when he’s in his cage again.’’ It {appears that in cleaning the cage, the men being thes washing decks, the door of the cage had been tn. ' fastened and the beast had escaped, causing a regular stampede, the bluejackets forward running up the rigging and the soldiers taking to the hammock nettings and the hurri- cane deck. The tiger ran aft; the men had not heard of its escapo and were throwing buckets of water about. The scene appeared to puzzle the tiger. At any rate,an old quarter- waster realized the situation, and | taking his lantern flashed it full in tho face of tho tiger. He then took she animal by the scruff of the neck, ran it forward to its cage and slam. med and fastened the door ina jiffy. Here is another ancedote of a rea} pet, this time in the same ship. Thero aro several officers now alive who can vouch for the truth of this (story. The first lHeutenant had a very jolly little monkey, quite a general favorite. One evening, just before dinncr, on a guest night, the ship being in harbor, the first lieu- tenant went into his cabin with the monkey, and, opening a box of very vhoice Havana cigars rather hastily, by accident smashed two of them— tha parts of which he threw over. board out of his cabin port. Then, filling his cigar case, as dinner was already on the table, he left the box | on the table and hurried to mess. It had been the custom for his monkey to follow him and wait by the table for a morsel of food now and again. This evening, after some little time had elapsed, and the monkey did not appear, his owner, excusing himself for a minute, ran back to his cabin to see what his pet was doing, mowing besides, having a strong imitative trait of character, it was generally up to some mischiof or other. Alas, ho was too late! The monkey had only too well imitated his master, for‘as the first lieutenant entered the cabin, he was just in time to see the last of his cherished weeds taken out of the box and thrown out of the port overboard. Bitter Jerrold, Among the sayings attributed to Douglas Jerrold is a very bitter one he applied to Mark Lemon, then edi. tor of Punch. Lemon was deeply at- tavhed to Dickens and showed it in a very open fashion, which perhaps aroused the great satirist’s jealousy.
