It was a grand morning for a bunt. Tbe dew lay thick ou the grass and sparkled like a myriad of gems in the bright sunshine. The hunters opened their mouths and drank ia the keen morning air as they dashed after the beagles, past farm and homestead, over hedge and dilcb, up hill and down dale. Tbe fox was a gallant fellow, and tied like tbe wind before bis pur suing foes, who followed tbe scent with n ise to the ground aud tail erect. Sir Keynard slackened f-peed at last, and in another moment Lord Willow brook shouted tbe "view halloo!" By this time they had formed a semi-circle, and were half-way back to Willow- brook village. On the crest of the hill stood a little stone-built hou.te covered with jasmine and Virginia rneper. It was tbe little school of Willow brook, and tbe singing of tbe children came through tbe open door and mingled with tbe faint baying of tbe weary bea gles, that panted up the bill after their tired victim. They were close upon him now, and in another moment his fate would have been sealed, when sud denly there was a cry of astonishment from Lord Willowbrook, who was the foremost huutsman. "By Jove, the animal has run into the school hou9e!" It was a fact; tbe poor, tired beast bad seen tbe open door, and had dashed in to escape tbe fangs of the bounds behind him. The children in the school set up a fright ful shriek, and tbe school door was rap idly banged to in the face of the hun gry beagles, which ran to and fro, bay ing and whimpering in frantic excite ment "Well, tbi9 is certainly a rum go," said Lord Willowbrook, as the other huntsmen struggled up. "What shall we do?" "Call off the hounds and get inside," said Frank Co a ley, the par-ion's mad cap son. After some consultation this was finally agreed upon. The school door had been locked, and nobody op ned it after repeated knocking, so with very little ceremony, Frank Cowley put his bboulder to tbe door and attempted to burst it open. It was a solid piece of oak, with strong bolts outside, a some what singular arrangement, ouly used when tbe place was empty. The lock resisted all his attempts; but when half a dozen stalwart fellows burled them selves against it, it yielded. The dozen or so young huntsmen entered pell-tnt It I into tbe schoolroom, but pulled them- selves up suddenly when they realized their situation. At tbe end of the large room, on a little raised dais, upon which was a school desk, stood a young girl, sur rounded by a group of little children who were clinging to ber skirts in ter ror at tbe sudden invasion. She was a slim, fair girl, in a plain, tight-fitting black dress, with a mass of sunny goldeu bair; and, as she stood by her desk, with flushed cheek and an angry light in ber blue eyes, she looked very pretty and haughty. "What is the meaning of this unwtr- rantable intrusion, gentlemen?" she said, in a clear, silvery voice. Tbe young huntsmen touched their caps, but could not find anything to say. "Gadzooks, what a pretty gal !" wbis- pred tbe irrepressible Frank Cowley. Lord Willowbrook was tbe first to cpeak. "Madam," be said, in that deep, mu sical voice of bis, which caused such a thrill to the hearts of the female In habitants of Willowbrook, "we sin cerely aak your pardon, but but we are rough huntsmen; our fox took ref uge in your school, and in the ardor of our sjM)rt, we have, perhaps, forgotten our manners." "I think that Is the caee" said the schoolmistress, with a faint suspicion of a smile. 'However, gentlemen, you will not find your fox here, because it La. gone up tbe cbimney, where you are at perfect liberty to follow it" The huntsmen burst into a merry laugb, which put them at their ease. The young lord of the manor rat down on tbe foremost bench and look ed around curiously at the little school room, fitted with rows of wooden deks, and decorated with colored maps and charts. Then his eyes returned to the pretty schoolmistress with the golden bair, and to the little group of village children, who had recovered from their fright, aud were peeping from behind ber bkirU. "Really, this is quite charming!" said the youug man, pleasantly, as if to open a conversation. "Itemlnds one of oue'a youth, doesn't it?" said Mr. Frank Cowley, sitting down on another bench, and taking up one of tbe children's slates. "I say, schoolmistress," said Tom Hardy, one of the neighboring squires, more renowned for bis good temper than for hU brilliant wit, "a'poj-e you give us a lesson V Tbe proposition was received with a general burst of applause from the huntsmen, who sat down with much tlatler and jingle of spurs In the chil 0111 SOMERSET, PA., dren's benches, and possessed them selves with slates and pencils. Tbe school children, wh were beginning to think the whole scene fine fun, clap ped their hands at the Ufa of "school mistress" teaching twelve big hunts men in scarlet jackets. "A lesson! A lesson!" cried the huntsmen. "Certainly," said the schoolmistress, with a mischievous twinkle ia ber blue eyes. "I will give you a lesson on man ners." "Fairly well hit, ia faith!" cried Frank Cowley, with a roar of laughter. "Perhaps, gentlemen," she said, in a clear, decisive tone, as !f she were de livering a lecture, "perhaps you have not beeu told before that it is extremely rude for gentlemen to wear their hats in a room where there are ladies." The huntsmen looked at each other rather sheepishly, and pulled off their caps hastily. "You also seem to be unaware of the fact," continued the schoolmistress, with a triumphant smile at ber success, "that no gentleman has a right to be seated while a lady stands, without first obtaining her permission." Lord Willowbrook rose from his seat with a stately bow, and bis companions followed his example. "Thirdly and lastly," continued tbe schoolmistress, "it is the height of bad manners to intrude oue'a self where one is not wanted." The dozen or so youug squires went off into prolonged laughter, during which the schoolmistress resumed ber place at ber deck with much dignity, but with a Bmile lurking at the corners of ber mouth. When the laughter bad subsided Lord Willowbrook stepped forward and bowed low before tbe fair instruct ress. ''Madam, he said, "my companions will, I am sure, join me in apologizing profoundly for the grave breach of eti quette of whicb .we have been guilty, and beg to assure you, in their name, aud iu my ow n, that we will not forget tbe lesson which you have given us." Tbe huntsmen applauded vigorously and cried "Hear, hear!" with much en thusiasm. "I beg to second my friend's speech," said Frank Cowley, "and thank you heartily for your valuable instruction. Before we take our leave, however, we must not omit the payment of so great a favor." "Hear, hear!" shouted the huntsmen. "The payment!" "As payment," continued the par son's sou, with much gravity, "I pro pose that before we take our leave we each and severally give our fair school mistress a kiss!" "A kiss! A kiss!' shouted the young fellow, enthusiastically. The schoolmistress turned pale and retreated behind tne blackboard. "At your peril, gentlemen!" she cri ed, indignantly. They were about to carry out their intention wben young Lord Willow brook r prang forward aud placed him self between bis friends and tbe black board. "Stop, geutlemen!" be shouted au thoritatively. His companions started back, sur prised and angry. "Faith! You're not going to be fool enough to spoil sport?" said Mr. Frank Cowley, irritably. "Gentlemen, said the young lord of the manor determinedly, "I will horse whip any one who dares to touch this lady. I appeal to your sense of honor. We are a dozen against one, and it would be uumanly to insult this lady after so well-merited a lesson as she hat given us." The huntsmen looked at each other with hesitation. Willowbrook evi dently meant what he .said, and he wa) not the sort of a man to tackle. Ob, well don't let's quarrel over it," said Cowley, at length. "Kisses are not so scarce that they are worth fighting over. Come on, you fellows; let us turn back and get something to drink." So saying, the young men sauntered out of the schoolroom whistling carelessly. His fellow huntsmen scow led angri ly at Lord Willowbrook, but followed their companiun's lead, and, swinging into their saddles, cantered back to Willowbrook village. Lord Willowbrook rode behind them for a little way, but wheu he came to the bend of the road by tbe old mill be suddenly turned his horse's nose and galloped back to the little school- house on the hilL He tied his horse to the stump of a tree and sauntered into the school again. It was Saturday a half holiday and all the children bad gone, but tbe schoolmistress was en gaged in putting away tbe books. She started at the clatter of Willow- brook's spurs oa tbe threshold and blushed a deep crim-ton when she saw who was her visitor. "May I ask what what is the cause of your return?" she said, nervously. "Madam," said the young man, smiling pleasantly and with a gallant bow. "I have come for the favor of a kiss." The schoolmistress retreated hastily and placed herself behind a desk. "I I do not understand you sir. After your generous defense, for which I thank ycu much, lam sure you do Dot mean what you say. Perhaps you are joking?" - "No, madam," said the young hunts man, with cool assurance, "that is tbe inconsistency of human nature. lie- cause I do not permit my friends, Frank Cowley, Tom Hardy, William Kocles and tbe others lo salute your fair cheeks with a kiss is no reason why I, Austin Willowbrook, lord of the manor, should deny myself that pleasure." "My lord, I am sure you will do no such thing," said tbe schoolmistress. "Madam, I most assuredly shall!" said the young man. The schoolmistress looked for some means of escape, but Lord Willow brook stood with hia back to the door. "Well, my lord, you must first catch your bare!" she said, defiantly, and made a little dart for tbe blackboard, behind which she took refuge. "That is easily done," said Lord Willowbrook, with an agreeable sense that he v au aocjmplished sports man, and thst this was very easy game. But it was not so easy as he thought; every time he got round one desk the little schoolmistress darted behind an ESTABLISHED WT3DNESDAY, AUGUST 10. 1893. other. No sooner bad be vaulted over one bench than she disappeared be hind the blackboard. Lord Willow brook soon got complrttely winded, es pecially as he had to stop now and then for a hearty laugh. The school mistress' cheeks were brightly flushed and her eyes darted mischievous defi ance at her pursuer, so that she looked prettier than ever, and Lord Willow brook vowed he would not give up until his object had been attained. Present ly there was a mutual truce. "f thlntr vmi huA hjtfir trlva nrM said the schoolmistress. "Never."' said Lord Willowbrook. "I am hungry, my lord, aud want to get home to dinner." "You can easily do so." "How?" By letting me kiss you," said Lord Willowbrook, calmy. Tbe schoolmistress thought for a mo ment "J will let you do so, on one cendi tion," she said, at last "What ia that?" said Lord Willow- brook. "If you will promise to remain here until I've bad time to get half way to Willowbrook village." "Agreed," said Lord Willowbrook, cheerfully. The schoolmistress came from be hind the blackboard aud waited shyly for tbe young man to approach her. Lord Willowbrook Btepped forward, and, lifting up tbe girl's head and looking into ber blue eyes he imprint ed a kiss on her lips. "You shall pay dearly for this, roy lord!" she cried, with flushed cheeks and an indignant frown. "Anything you please," said Lord Willowbrook, with perfect good humor. "So great a pleasure is worth any price." But he was not quite prepared for the little schoolmistress' next move. Be fore he could realize the situation she had darted out of the little bouse, the great oak door was slammed to and tbe bolts were thrust into their sockets. Tbe young man started up and ran to the door. "Caught, by Jove!" be cried. It was true. Tbe door was securely fastened from without and resisted all efforts to budge, tbe little lattice win- windows were too small to admit of egress, and he was imprisoned like a rat in a trap. "I wish you good day, my lord!" cried the schoolmistress, with a tri umphant peal of silvery laughter, and then the young man heard the sound of her retreating footsteps, w hicb grad ually grew fainter and fainter, and finally died away. Taken prisoner he was. There was not tbe slightest cham of escaje, and his only hope was that his captor would repeultuid cams Lk to liberal) him. But hour after hour passed and the schoolmistress did not return. He examined the maps oa tbe walls, tbe initials carved on tbe desk, the ink stains on tbe floor, and still she did not come. Hour after hour went by until tbe light began to fall and twilight crept ia through tbe lattice windows, and Lord Willowbrook became very cold and hungry. Still be did not lose bis temper, or wish that he had not been so eager for a kiss, and be paced up and down, holding imaginary con versation with tbe little school mistress, in which be expressed his un dying admiration for her trick, and offered her his hand and heart But the schoolmistress did Dot come to auswer him, and at last the twilig'..i deepened into darkness, and he realized that he would have to spend the night In the little schoolhouse. At last be fell into a confused sleep, disturbed by dreams of the little schoolmistress, and he awoke next morning feeling very cold and hungry. It was Sunday, and the church bells in Willowbrook village were ringing for service. He could picture all bis friends trooping into tbe little church and wondering at bis disappearance. What a fool he should look when tbe ory became known! He, the lord of tbe man )r, who had disdained tbe advances of the combined female force of Wil lowbrook, to be caught in the toils of a little schoolmistress. He would b the Uughing stock of the country side. He wou id not dare show bis face outtide of tbe manor hcuse. The day passed tediously for the young man, and he was beginning to picture a death by slow starvation, when the souud of approaching voices, the clatter of horses' hoofs and tbe tramp of many feet sounded joyfully in bis ears. "At last!" be cried, springing up from a bench oa whMi he bad been reclining. Tbe sounds grew nearer, and pres ently stopped befors the little school, and Lord Willowbrook blushed wben be heard tbe laughter of many voices. . "Now for a nimble wit!" muttered tbe lord of the manor. "Help me, all ye powers, to get out of this pretty scrapeP' The bolts were drawn back, the door was thrown opeu aud disclosed to tbe eyes of young Lord Willowbrook half the population of Willowbrook village, foremost among whom was tbe pretty schoolmistress with the golden hair, accompanied by Messrs. Frank Cowley, Tom Hardy and William Ec cles, while the rear was brought up by old Parson Cowley, in the threadbare coat and white bands, with old Dr. Featberfew and Mrs. Bodkin. A burst of derisive laughter greeted the young man as be stepped out jaunt ily into tbe open and bow ed low before tbe assembled company. The pretty schoolmistress stepped forward and courtesied to her former prisoner. "My lord," she said, with a pretty Impudence, "I have had my revenge." Lord Willowbrook bowed with a pleasant smile. " 'Tis true, madam," he said, In so low a tone that it could be beard by none save tbe schoolmistress, "and I will now have mine." So saying, be took tbe young girl la his arms before she could escape from him, and kissed her again and again before the astounded villagers. Tbeu he turned to the little group who were staring at the scene in open mouthed astonishment "Gentlemen," be cried, la a louJ, 1827. triumphant voice, "permit me to pre sent to you my future wife the lady of the manor!" Peterson's Magazine. Dewey a Pig-tter Even at a Boy. Before entering Annapolis Dewey went to tbe public school in tbe village, and also attended a military school at Norwich, where he lormeda determin ation to enter the navy. Dewey's father did not think much of sailors, and told bis son so, but this made no difference to George. He kept at his father until be procured him his ap pointment to Annapolis. While a pupil ia tbe district school at Montpe lier youug Dewey received a severe thrashing, which he probably remem bers to this day. Tbe flogging was ad ministered by Major Pangborn, the schoolmaster, now editor of tbe Jersey City Journal. Prior to tbe coming of Major Pangborn as master of tbe school the boys had whipped several masters. Soon after Pangborn bad been installed it was decided that his mettle should be tried. George Dewey was selected by tbe other boys to make tbe test Major Paughom beard of the plot Dewey was called from his seat in the midst ot a session of tbe school. He refused to respond. The other boys chuckled. Master Pangborn walked down to where youDg Dewey was seated and, with the grasp of Hercules, took tbe lad by the collar and yanked him from his seat and walked him up to the master's desk. He was accused of the plot, but refused to acknowledge it When Master Pangborn bad finished with young Dewey be was escorted home where be had to lie abed for sever al days as tbe result of bis thrashing. Dewey was too big-hearted to harbor U 3 a feeling against tbe school-master, and afterward there grew up lietween pupil and pedagogue the most friendly feeling. Demorest's Magazine.

WORKING A SHIP IS A BATTLE. How the Brooklyn Was Managed on July 3. "Captain Ccok, keep your men below the protective deck informed of any advantage we may gain," said Com modore Schley, speaking loudly to overcome tbe noise rt tbe frightful guns. Tbe gallant captain of tbe Brooklyn said with a Muile. "I always do that, sir. I couaider it necessary for the esprit de corps," and stepping into the conning tower be called down the tubes: "Tell the men bt low that the Maria Teresa is running ashore." At tbe same time Executive Officer Mason rushes to the firing turrets and calls into the men the same joyful news. It was the 3d of July and tbe excitement of the first call to battle bad hardly subsided on the Brooklyn when the foregoing incident occurred. Commodore Schley stood upon a small temporary bridge running about the conning tower, while Captain Cook spent bis time between tbe interior 6f the tower, where be directed the ma chinery, and the platform where he could see the enemy. The Brooklyn was one mass of flame and smoke as she spit out defiance tinged with death, and yet but one-third of the entire crew could see the enemy or any part of the fight In tbe big turrets, half naked men worked behind lh fcteel walls with no knowledge of how the battle went until they were informed by Mr. Mason, aud below the protect ive deck fully 300 or more men worked under the glare of electric light, keep ing this great engiue of tiestruetiou mechanically and rapidly at work. WORK I NO THE BIG liUSS. The men in the turrets of five-inch steel see as little as the men below deck, except that once in a while '.hey get a glimpse of the object fired at. When tbe ships of Spain were sigbteil coming out the eight aud five-incli guns were all loaded and in each turret within two minutes after the summons. eleven men stood half-naked awaiting the word to tire. The chief of the tur ret, a lieuteuant, is in the hood, bis eye to the telescope, gets tbe line of his guii on the harbor, and awaits tbe signs!. "Five thousand yards," sings out an orderly iu the turret opening, and tb gun goes up to the proper elevation a the lieutenant in the hood orders tbe elevating gear turned. The numier one man at the guns connects tbe elec tric wire to the primer with the hood's band -firing apparatus, and all Is wait ing. "Commence firing," comes thei order, and quickly the answer comes. Tbe turret lieutenant's band closes ou the electric apparatus and the gun jumps back a foot or more as 1 1 pounds of exploding powder drivtsa. 250-pound shell from the muzzle of th great piece at a rate of 200 feet per second. Then, before tbe roar has ceased, the hand of tbe man in charge of that turret touched the electric lever. and tbe great 700 tons of steel moved. quickly and almost noiselessly arouuJ until tbe mother gun of the twius wast iu tbe same position as tbe first on had been. Slowly tbe muzzle comes up to the right elevation, once more tb tin ire re close on tbe electric handle aud. another 250 pounds of steel shoot away on its death errand. CLEAN I NO AND UlADINO.

THE rOWPEH DIVISION. Down below the water line of t! le ship, beneath the protective deck, is a nakbd, prespiring crowd of her, their eyes effectually closed ti Use changing scene of battle, but their senses keenly alive to the fact that tor pedo or shell below, or through tins armor belt may mean death. These men work with an energy that prove? their patriotism and devotion to the flag. On this day they sent up to t he various turrets and guns over 70,00 pounds of ammunition, taking it care fully out of the big magazine without accident. Tbe men detailed ia the handling- rooms of tbe Brooklyn are from the-1 fifth or powder division, composed of' those not detailed as guns' crews, such, as caroenters and runner's mates, ser vants, idlers of all kind and the relief watch, of the engineer's division. This medioy of men is of many nationali ties, and is knowu on board the Brook- lyn as "Coxey's Army," and is com- maoded by the senior deck officer. Dr. Griffin, with four or five other officers. as assistants, eaca assistant Having- charge of a section of about forty or fifty meu, the whole division taking charge of all magazine holds and all gpi between decks during action. At the clang or the alarm lor "gen eral quarters" the men rushed for their stations, struggling through asmall 11 "Tl WHOLE NO. 2454. steel hatch iu the protective deck, and down a narrow and almost vertical ladder, to the rnaxazine and shell rooms below. The oflicer iu charge, Dr. Grifiin, hurried to the cabin for the magazine keys, grabbed tbe small leather bag containing them from tbe baud of tbe marine orderly on duty at the door of the captain's cabin, and rushed after bis men, distributing the keys as rapidly as possible to tho al ready standing at the box-like tops of the magaziues, the bolts of which bad already been loosened. Tbe ammunt tion whips were quickly led out, and the men standing with their hands oa a small lever ready to turn oa the cur reut of the electric hoists as soon as tbe hatches were off. RAISI.NO THE AMMUNITION When everything was seen to be clear, the endless chains of tbe hoists started with tbe whirr of the motor and rolled their loads of rapid-tire ammu nition to the decks above, where men were stationed to receive it Down the chute of the eight-inch gun turret comes the command : "Full charges, common shot," from the omoers in charge of the turret, and the answer quickly goes back, "Aye, aye sir," and as a response to a lower tone of voice, "(. lick, lads; lively now," up come tbe long powder tanks and heavy SjO pound shell to the base of the turret There the shell was quickly seized in the tongs by the stalwart apprentices, raised and rammed home ia the car; the tops of the long copper powder tanks taken off and the powder ia two sections placed ia the other compart ments of the car, the signal given and both cars quickly rise to the breach of the turret guns aud are sent back, al most as quickly, emptied. All this preparation of getting ready occupied a space of four miuutes' time, after all tbe meu went below aud the hatches lowered and secured. HOT IN THE STEEL CAOE. The beat varies in this steel cage from 120 to H'i degrees Fahrenheit, and quickly causes the men to strip to tbe waint and settle down to their work in an air-tight box tilled with sweltering humanity, blindly obeying orders with unquestioning obedience and alacrity, not knowiug the cause of the alarm, whether target practice, bombardment, tbe Spanish fleet or a false alarm. Suddenly, the report of the first gun was beard, followed in quick succession by another, aud the battle was on. Down the hoists and chutes comes the powder smoke to add to the already high temperature of the handling room, followed by the. hot saltpetre water from the spongiug of the guns, making the derks slippery and burning blisters ou the bare backs of the men under neath, who, groping and choking, feeling 'their way through the dense smoke, & siW-utly aud obediently about their work with but one thought and aim in view to keep those coutiuually empty enrs aoxl hoists tilled with pow der aud projectiles -not knowing how tbe battle is ragiag until a cheer is fi nally heard from deck, their spirits brighten and an old salt will exclaim : "I guess they must hav hit 'em that time." Then he goes up and Fpits on lare shell for good luck, or, as a yell is heard, "armor-piercing, quiok," and tbe shells are quickly changed, be takes an old oily rag aud rubs tbe cap of the projectile, siyinz: "Taat'H make 'er i bite better," and the young boy of tbe new navy, who nas oeea ia tne service as many mouths as tbe old salt baa years, excIaitUH to bis shipmates : "Ah, what's be given us!" ONE SHELL DROPS. That was tbe routine of tbe handling room on the 3d of July, except that i , . onee in a wiaie tne ru.-u was tn-oa.eu by a carelessly-handled shell dropping. One came down in tbe forward hand ling room when Mr. Hancock had charge the day of the battle. There was the low rumble as it dropped the i forty feet "Stand clear," shouts Hh- Icock, but t'ie command is superfluous, for if the shell bad exploded no m l ia that place would have ever seen day- light again.

SOME OTHER HEROEH.

When the Vizcaya had been sunk and beached that day Captain Cook, having been ordered by Commodore Schley to cease firing, called the men from the hand Iintr rooms and tbe turret to take a breath of air while tbe chase of the Colon wei t on. But the battle was on for men not visible. . Dowu beneath the protective, informed only of the glories of that day's fighting by Cap- a I tain Ciok's bulletin, through tbe speak ' ing tube, men worked in a pit below the water line in a temperature of over l'0 degrees. From the funnels the black smoke pouring forth told that stokers and coal-passers and firemen were working like fiends to give tbe ship more momentum, so that the foe vuld be captured. At the eDgiues tagineer Carter and his assistant, Mr. Pattou, watched every pulsation and MM'ouraged tbe men to greater efforts produce more steam.

Tbe heat however, was intense ou July 31, and several times the big steel cag opened to let out men who had fainted.

Captain Frank Wildes, of the Amer ican cruiser Boston, who bore a dUtki gulihed part in Commcdort. Dewey's splendid victory at UaiiiLt, has written a Utter to cue of hi? friends in Fort- laud, M., dicriiins a picturesque in cident that followed the Saiii.h defeat It will remembered that b&re th arrival f the invading rt?rt the Span ish Captain General f the Philippine issued addresses to the people denounc ing tbe American sailors as pigs and monsters, who, if they succeeded ia eutering the city would indulge in a wild carnival of violence and crimo against Life and property. Tbe moie Ignorant classes of tbe inhabitants were made to believe these frightful stories, and even some of the intelligent resi dents were seriously alarmed lest the dreadful Americans should subject them to indignity and suffering. As Captain Wildes tells the story, a Span ish lady of great reduement and beauty, who bad beard these terrible reports, went to the British consul and asked whether be really believed that the bated Yankees were as wicked as tLey had been pictured in the Captaiu Gen eral's proclamation. The consul simply replied : "Madam, houor and virtue are safer in Manila to-day than they have bet n for 300 years." That truthful assurance contains a hint of one of the most important and far-reaching results whicb the present war is destined to accomplish. Social conditions In Spain's colonial territory have long been notoriously corrupt and vicious. Tbe unprincipled officials whom the Spanish government has kept in control of her island possessions have debauched both society and politics ; many of them have grown rich by levying blackmail oa vice and crime, and their influence has been constantly used to slide the morals and conscience of the people. I n an atmos phere thus polluted life and honor are held at their lowest valuation. Tbe law, administered by corrupt officers, has offered no redress for the wrongs of their helpless victims, and in some of tbe cities of these Spanish colonies, Ha vana, for example, womeu and young girls have been debased to the lowett depths of degradation. Under providence, tbe present war wiil abolish these revolting conditions aud opeu the way for social order and progress. In every one of the colonic which the clash of anus wrests from the dominion of Spain, the status of woman, socially, intellectually and morally, will, undergo an immediate aud steady improvement She will acquire a larger liberty, a higher respect and a purer influence than she hasever enjoyed under the degrading misrule of Spanish monarchism, and her ulti mate advance to the honored position now cheerfully assigned to her Anglo American sisters will be the crown ing achievement of the nineteenth cen tury chivalry. Beneath the extraordinary and help ful interest which the women of Amer ica have thus far taken in the struggle with Spain th?re is a profound convic tion that this is a holy war for the res cue of womanhood and childhood from the clutches of their d ex poller. The blood of Weyler's Inuoceut vietijj cries from the Cuban soil for veuean. and vindication. The specters of iba helpless mothers and babes whom that relentless monster put to death by the exquisite tortures of starvation still haunt the horizon of our latter d-iy civili.ttion, and they will uot down until the merciless power of Spain is forever destroyed iu the Islands which she has shown herself unfit to govern. To this heroic task iu behalf of virtue and honor, the sons and daughters of the great Republic have dedicated their hands and fortunes. The god of battles will affirm the righteousness of their cause, and they may conSdently ap peal from kings to time for the approval U theif. deeds. Dr. i. I.
