F on People here hard'y ‘realice what Spain has done in the course of the struggle with Cube. She has sent 80 many conscripts f¢ die there of frver apd homesickness and wietchedness | that at present the Spanish War Office has a greater experience in the matter of the transport of troops by sea, not merely than any other wer office of, modern times, but of any times. Spain‘in the last few years has put 250,000 men into Cuba. That she dows not have to provide for bringing them home is the most dreadtul and disastrous fact of all. The Cuban war has dore muci to exhaust Spain in three ways. It has cost huge sums of money, bas absorbed the energies of government, and, more important, it has robbed the country of half her crop of young men. — The conscripts have been sent to die in Cuba ac the very moment when they ought 10 have been using their young energies in tillinz ‘he soil, winnint iron from the mines, or working io she trades, In a lund where the men bave an invincible longing to rest in the shade after tor.y, and are old at fitty, the nation cannot do without its youtLs. Spain, then under its present conditions, is exactly the country in which one would expect the gosp-l 4 anarchy to flourish and abound — London Spectator. aaa II / It Looked Like a Secticn of Klon- dike. ~The store of the Wallace Bros. wore a somewhat Klondikish look for apart of the day Tuesday. One of their customers, Mr. J. G.

It was mostly in nuggets, the two largest of which were about 34 inches long, 14 inches wide and weighed 90 and 86 pennyweights, respectively.

Pee ech: TN The sentiment which annuaily greets the return ol the oyster trom iis summer vacation may not be of an wathetic sort, but certainly 1t is as re- mote as possible from meicenary con- g.deration of commerce. And yet ‘the oyster not oniy stands for a great deli. cacy, but for a great industry that will in time be vastly gea‘er. It is shewn by Government statistics, for instance, that of the 35,000,000 bushels of o.sters consumed throughout the world each year, 30,000,000 bushels are supplied by the United SScates, and that the oyster fishery excels any other fishery in importance. Add to this that the ndustry is especially important in our sister States of New Jersey and Maryland——the latter alone producing oe bird of the world’s crop—and it will be seen vhat there are special reasons why Philadelpnia should be cordizl to the oysier, and should greet its advent with a dezree of eflusiveness not ex‘ended to any other thing in the edible list wth the possible exception of the Tiankeg ving tarkey —Philadelphia Record rsa ‘Lhe United Siatss Navy Depart- ment’a repo.t states that there are now being built for the Federal fleet five battle ships, one gunboat and fourteen torprdo boats, ‘The battleships are the Kearsarge, Kentuck, Alabama, Illi- nois and Wisconsin ; the gunboat is ‘he remain’ng one of the Annapolis Vicksburg Newport Princeton Wheel- ing Marietca sextet ; and the fourteen torpedo boats include the submarine Plunger of the Holland type.

The pan is said ei Santana “The professional beggar is cocting an up to date story that is likely to touch the sympathy, and the pocket of any one incautious enough to listen. The latest of these naratives Ws sprung in the cafe of a hotel in Chestnut street, ‘one evening recantly. A man who was shabby, but neat, walked up to a group of gentleman and said : “Gentlemes, | was on my Way to the Klondyke with $500 in my pocket, and it bas been stolen from me. Instead of having a prospect to gain a fortune, [ have now no prospect cf getting sup- per or a place to sleep unless you will assist me.

Wlegvy Turkish "re, ~ must draw attention to that fea ture of the Turkish tactics which atampe\ the war of 1877 charactwr of its own, a feature evi- dent in all sections in whrch I took part, in none more than in the one under discussion. I refer to the quick fire of the Turkish infantry, of such power, duration and effect as had never before been dreamed of. General Todleben wrote later, “Such a shower of lead as that with which the Turks hail our troops has never before been employed as & mode of warfare by any European army.’’ It was more instinct, ex- perience, silent consent and confi- agence in their weapons than training or formulated rules which induced the Turkish foot soldiers to adopt this mode of fighting.
