In a letter to his brother at Ash land, John Graeber, who is in the Klondike gold fields, says that they have only one hour of darkness out of the twenty-four. He continues that he has not found a fortune yet, but is not without hope. Mrs. Helen Cummiugs died at Mrs. M. A.

"I was a rebel when I lost these glasses; I'm a Yankee now." This was the comment of ex-Senator Butler, now a Major General of the United States volunteers, when he recovered one day a pair of field glasses that he had lost on the battle-field of Brandy Station in 1863 —where he also lost a leg. "W ell, that settles a point which a majority of Americans have been contesting with more or less—lately with less—energy for a hundred years. AH Americans are Yankees now. Nearly three huudred years ago the Northern Indians, trying to say "Anglais," as they had heard the French call the English, corrupted the word into "Yankee." The New York Dutch gave the name to the English colonists of Connecticut, and among Americans south and west of New England the term was applied only to Down-easters until the middle of the century, when the South ap plied it to all Northerners. England first applied the term to all people of the United States. We might have withheld our political noodles From knocking their heads against hot Yankee Doodles— wrote Moore early in the century. But now the contest is ended. When an ex-Confederate General announces himself a Yankee the term at once and forever is invested with a new and authoritative meaning and be comes applicable to any citizen who acknowledges as his flag the Red, White and Blue.

Letter Prom Hobson's Mother, The following letter was received by a friend in New York, from the notner of Lieut. Richard P. Hobson, the Santiago hero. That he has always been a kind and dutiful son is proven by the mother's, words of praise. We reprint the letter from the New York Sun. "GREENSBORO, Ala., nth of June. "Dear—: Your letter of congratula tions reached me a tew days ago. I fully appreciate and agree with you in your enthusiastic tribute to my boy's heroism. In accomplishing his daring achievment I realize he was guided and protected by our kind Heavenly Father. The appreciation of the country, his State, and native town is most gratifying to us all. It is but natural that my mother-pride should be pleased at the recognition of my boy by the nation and its rulers. Such recognition is very happy, but it has told us nothing new ot his grand worth. A nobler son no mother ever had. He has been a mighty lower of strength to me for years. Never foigetting the many demands of a large household, it has always been his pleasure to share his salary with us. In every way he has been a help and a comfort. The three years he was studying abroad there never fail ed to come from him the most loving letters, and his resources were ever at our command. The gentlest, noblest nature, with every attraction of per son and character, he claims the ad miration of every one who knows him. To us, nearest and dearest to him, it took no Santiago to proclaim him a hero. He has been to us lor so long the truest hero—as noble son and idolized brother. The plaudits of the world are his, and while history will record the daring deed of his heroism the gentler, sweeter, beauty of his nature can be known only to those to whom he is 'first—best." ' "It may be that on Richard's re turn I will be in New York, when I hope to see you. Of course I shall very eagerly share all the glories that will be heaped upon my boy. Our own State is preparing now to present him a jewelled sword. * * * Affec tionately yours, "SALLIE C. HOBSON."

"Remember Crittenden" will be the battle cry of every Kentuckian who lands to fight on Cuban soil. Nearly half a century ago Kentucky blood was spilled there in the cause of Cuban freedom, and the bones of William Logan Crittenden and his men lie in some unmarked spot in the city of Havana. They lost their lives in a filibuster ing expedition which was unsuccess ful because the expected uprising of the Cubans to aid it never took place. Of the 150 Kentuckians whom he had fifty were killed in battle, as many more escaped, and the others were captured with their leader. Every one of the captives were shot. Narciso Lopez, a native Venezulan, who had lived for many years in Cuba, was the organizer of the expedition. His first attempt 1849, wa s frustrated by the United States authorities. A year later he succeeded in landing a force at Cardenas, but was driven back and lorced to take to his boats and return to Florida. Still, he was not discouraged, and in August, 1851, 500 men, including Crittenden's Ken tuckians, sailed from New Orleans and landed ofl Aug. 15 at Morillo. Lopez had spread enthusiastic re ports of how the Cubans would rise to meet them, and their little force would be nucleus for an army which was to spring into being instantly thousands strong. He had misreck oned. Only a few straggling natives joined him. The Spanish attacked the invaders at once and routed them. Crittenden's command bore the brunt of the attack, and, driven back by greatly superior numbers took to the woods, leaving a third of their num ber on the field of battle. In this way 50 of them, with Crittenden himself, were captured and taken to Havana. Lopez's main force had already been surrounded, and the Venezulean was afterward garroted in Havana, some of his followers being shot and others pardoned. It was decided that the Americans should be put to death by military execution. Tightly bound with ropes, they were brought into Havana and kept confined for eight een hours, after which they were led forth to their death. In platoons of six they were made to kneel facing a file of soldiers, and were shot. Crittenden, when bidden to get on his knees, replied : "A Kentuckian kneels only to his God." He was shot standing. The bodies of the victims were thrown into a trench. An hour before the execu tion the hands of the captives were untied, and they were notified that they would have half an hour in which to write any messages or letters they wished sent. Col. Crittenden wrote to his friend, Lucien Hensley: "This is an incoherent letter, but the circumstances must excuse it. My hands are swollen to double their natural thickness, resulting from having them too tightly corded for the last eighteen hours. Write John [Col. Crittenden's brother] and let him write to my mother. lam afraid the news will break her heart. My heart beats warmly for her now. Farewell. My love to all my friends."

Some of Crittend en's men escaped and put back for Florida in the vessel which had brought them over, pur sued by the Spanish warship Pizzano. Men were stationed at the magazine to blow up the ship, should capture become certain. They reached Florida by a narrow margin, the warship having fired on them, but with poor aim. Col. Crittenden was a nephew of John J. Crittenden, ex-Senator from Kentucky, and a brother of ex-Gov. Thomas T. Crittenden of Missouri. He was 28 years old at the time of his execution.—N. Y. Sun.
