The Times is a tireless newsgatherer, is edited with extreme care, spares no ex- pense to entertain and inform its read- ers. shape, caring aiways more for quality than quantity. It keeps its columns clean, but at the same time bright. Nothing that is of human interest is overlooked by it. It aims tobe reliable rather than sensational. with due respect for the facts.

Our duty there was to watch the Govern- ment locks, as they bad found, on three occasions, dynamite buried near the locks and several dynamite torpedoes sunk in the water below the locks. Should the dynamite have exploded, the locks, which are the finest in Amer- ica, would have been blown to atoms. dered there, thirty Spaniard’s came off the Canadian boats and acted strange- ly around the locks on the American side. Fort Brady is situated on a beautiful hill, one mile from the locks, and it is a credit to the United States. No sol- dier can say one word against it. The best of beds, elegant bath rooms and sanitary arrangements, and in fact everything to make a soldier comforta- ble. Fort Wayne, Detroit, is one of the oldest forts in- America and one of the best. © The old stone fort, which part of our battalion occupiod, was built in 1838, and the mason work cannot be beaten at the present day. Should you ever take a trip to the beautiful city of Detroit, do not fail to visit Fort Wayne, as the soldiers there will treat you with the greatest of courtesy and respect. At Fort Wayne, as at Fort Brady,every convenience cof modern and the buildings, three in number, ern architecture. Our guard duty at both these forts was very strict, and at both places to his wants, etc. We left Detroit last trip to Cleveland, by the City of De- troit. We had a pleasant voyage across the lake and arrived at Cleveland at 5.30 p. m., where we took the Cleveland & Pittsburg railroad for Camp Meade. After a safe journey by rail we ar- rived here on Friday afternoon, at 2.30, and had a very hard march for over an hour in the boiling sun and dusty roads; but all arrived safely, with the exception of four men, two left at Cleveland and two here, who are a lit- tle “under the weather” with eramps. We have a pleasant camp here, but the water is not as good as at Mt. Gretna, (Camp Hastings). I send you a copy of a poem written by Samuel Dreyer, of the 19th infant- ry, U.S. army, who was chief cook for General Miles and “Buffalo Bill,” in the Indian campaign of some years ago.

There was nothing very strange about this, but what makes the occasion worthy of note was the fact that he found in the toe of them a slip of paper on which was written: “I am a young lady of twenty and would like to correspond with a bachelor with a view to matrimony,” and signed the address of the young lady. After due deliberation our friend concluded to write to the sock maker. In a few days he got an answer to his letter: “I was married five years ago last Christ- mas.” The merchant who sold the socks did not advertise. > ey ee Remember the Maine. New and mighty from the ship yard Comes the fair battle ship Maine. Thus a ship both strong and unmarred Sets sail on the ocean’s wide plain. She sails with a navy good and strong, And with ease and grace moves along— The Maing, the Yankee Maine. A nation calls her to duty On a brave, but peaceful act. She sets sail with pride and beauty, With her crew of skill and tact, And Captain Sigsbee in command, She sails off to a foreign land— The Maine, the Yankee Maine. Now, like a white angel of peace, To Havana harbor goes, She bids hostilities tocease, And to shore her boatman rows, And secs, as along the coast he The Maine, the Yankee Maine. Ah! deeply the Spaniards sighed, With hatred and jealousy, To see-their rusty ships defied By the strong steel panoply Of the ship that does their treachery dare, That ship so beautiful grand and fair— The Maine, the Yankee Maine. No act’s too cruel to be done W here blackest treachery dwells; And in the hard heart of the Don, His heart with revengance swells For that great ship and its gallant crew, That ship with its captain brave and true— The Maine, the Yankee Maine. Calmly and peacefully closed that day, The last of the ship's career, As the sun’s last glimmering ray Lit the waters far aud near. They shone their last on the fair doomed ship, IFor terrible fute awaited it— The Maine, the Yankee Maine. A boom, and a gush and a roar, And a powder cloud, dark pall, Hides the wreck crimson with gore Where the wild waves rise and fall. Torn and rent at a terrible rate Lies the ship once so grand and great— The Maide, the Yankee Maine. Two hundred gallant sailors lie With the death wound on their brow. Their brave comrades to duty hie— There is no time to lose now— For the wrecked ship reels and totters And is sinking ’neath the waters. The Maine, the Yankee Maine! The Spanish murderers laugh and grin (er the act that they have done; But well they suffer for their sin, For no battles have they won; And they lose men, navy and land To pav for that ship so fair and grand— The Maine, the Yankee Main. —DANIEL R.

Prices very low: The Scientific American Navy Sup- | plement. | The Sei ntific American, which has al- | ways been identified itself very closely | with the interests of the Navy, is to be congratulated on the extremely hand- some and valuable “Navy Supplement” which it has lately put before the pub- lic. We think that, if the average read- er had been asked beforehand what kind of a work he would prefer upon the Navy, he would have asked for just such an issue as this. Both the illustrations and the read- ing matter are of the straightforward explanatory kind which is necessary to put a technical subject clearly before the lay mind. It was a happy thought to preface the work with a chapter up- on the classification of warships and in- sert a few diagrams by way of explana- tion of the subtle differences between cruisers, monitors and battleships; for | after digesting this chapter one is pre- pared to follow intelligently the detail- ed descriptions of the various ships | which make up the bulk of the issue. One of the best things about this num- ber is that it does not merely give an external illustration of each ship, but it takes the reader down below decks, and initiates him into the mysteries of the magazines, handling rooms, ammu- vition hoists and motive machinery. The sectional views of the interior of the turrets of the monitors are excep- tionally fine, as are the large wood en- gravings of the engines of the “Massa- chusettes.” * The last page of the num- ber contains complete tables .of the new Navy, the auxiliary fleet and the | weekly journal in the worid, | | New York, various naval guns.
