" Charging is the last resort of brave but baffled commanders," said a local critic of military-.affairs, "and it al most always results disastrously." Thirty-one years ago, March 24, 1895, the affairs of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia were des perate enough to warrant its brave commander, Getf. Hobt. Ev Lee, to resort to charging, says the Utica Ob server. So it came to pass on the morning of the 25th day of March, 1865, he made a break through the Union lines and opened the way to City Point, which, if he could have reached and held, would have pro longed the war for at least another year. The preliminaries were well arrang ed. First of all 100 men appeared in front of our picket line and announced themselves as North Carolina deser ters. They were all armed, but the officer in charge of our pickets wel comed them and told them to bring in their guns, as Gen. Grant had recently issued an order commanding his quar termasters to pay for all guns brought in from the rebel ranks. So this hun dred of armed men were graciously iuvited to march in behind our pick ets. "When once there they turned suddenly jipon the astonished Union troops and requested them to surren der in words too impolite to print. And the picket had no choice but to obey. In the rear of the picket line stood Forts Haskell and Stedman, garrison ed by the 14th New York artillery, several of whom belonged in Utica. In the early dawn of that mild March mcrning the sleeping members of the 14th were awakened by the sharp "Yi yi!" of the rebel troops, who pounced in upon them 10,000 strong or more. They were under the command of Gen. William Mahone, of Virginia. After capturing the 14th they were expected to move forward to City Point. But here an obstacle arose that neither Mahone nor Gen. Lee had foreseen. That obstacle was our sup plies of food. It was utterly impossi ble to get the Confederates, who were actually starving, beyond our soft bread and coffee, our fresh beef and salt pork. The whole body passed and went to eating, drinking and mak ing merry, without regard to the con clusion of that well-known saying, "For to-morrow we die." It was all in vain that Gen. Mahone threatened and swore and coaxed his men. They simply would not stir till they had satisfied their appetites. This pause was the Balvation of the Union Army. It enabled not only the majority of the 14th to escape from their captors, but the other divisions of the 9th corps to come to their relief; so that when the rebels were ready to advance they found their way blocked, and they were com pelled to retire from the scene of their victory and their breakfast table and carrying with them nothing but full stomachs. The foregoing is abrief but truthful account of Gen. Lee's last charge. In a little more than a week from that day he evactuated Bichmond and Petersburg, and in less than another week he surrendered his entire army to Gen. Ulysses S. Grant.?Exchange. California's Babbit Pest, California's rabbit nuisance is as suming proportions and making prog ress which most unpleasantly suggest comparison with the actual plague of rabbits that afflict Australia ; afflicts ]it in a hopeless degree, according to the latest reports of the various co lonial governments. California has lately adopted some Australian meth ods of thinning out the rabbits, and apparently with about the same lim ited measure of success. In Australia the attempt to exterminate them has been given up, and every effort is now directed to confining the rabbits to [ certain areas, or rather to keeping them out of certain cultivated regions. Even this entails enormous expense on the governments and landowners, is by no meams sure, and often is un successful. It is stated that in one county alone in California-the loss to farmers from: rabbits and hares amounted last year to fully $600,000. Many experiments with poisou nave been made, but the I farmers have about concluded that the only thing to do is occasionally to thin out the rabbits by holding big round-up hunts or drives. The story of several of these drives recently un dertaken has been told in the Sun. It is estimated that as a result of 140 drives in all held in California 356,400 rabbits have been killed. But the latest reports say there is no apprec: able diminution in their numbers. Some years ago the government of New South Wales offered a reward of ?25,000 to any one who suggested a really efficient method of getting rid of the rabbits. This offer stood open for several years, and more than 2,000 schemes were offered, coming from all parts of the world. Many were tried, but none found to be wholly satisfac tory, and finally the offer was with drawn, and the Australians tried to make up their minds to the inevitable permanence of the pest. Ferrets, stoats and weasels were imported and bred in thousands, and they have done good work. Poisons of all sorts were tried with but little 'success. C Cats were introduced, and they also did good service. But the rabbits multi ply at such an astounding rate that they have much more than held their own, and have spread into new regions, destroying a large proportion of all crops; wherever they have penetrated. Directly and indirectly South Aus tralia loses fully ?500,000 a year from rabbits. The government of Victoria has been working hard since 1880 trying to keep down the plague, and has spent more than ?300,000 in the work. The amount of money spent by farmers and other landowners is incalculable. One man, owning a large estate, has spent about ?15,000 in the last few years fighting rabbits. The government estimates that no less than 37,750,000 acres of land, farming and grazing, in the colony of Victoria, is infested by rabbits. Many schemes have been offered for making use of the rabbits commercially, and thus recouping at least a little of the loss they cause. Many thousands are killed and their skins used, and something of a trade has been built up in the shipment of rabbits to Eng land and elsewhere for food, either canned or frozen. But the world can't live on rabbit meat, and it would need to in order to afford to the Australians a profitable way of making use of their rabbits. The skins are largely used for many purposes. One concern in Victoria uses 374,000 rabbit skins every year, and in the last 17 years about 68,000,000 skins have been ex ported from Victoria. There have been intercolonial con ferences, attended by representatives of the various governments and dele gates from the agricultural societies, at which every phase of the question has been considered. The final de cision seems to be that extermination is impossible, and that the most ef fectual way of dealing with the evil is in building long fences of rabbit-proof netting to keep the animals out of areas not yet infested, to shut them off from food supplies, and also to get them together as muoh as possible bo that they can be raided by mean? of drives. Some of the fences are hundreds of miles long. One starts at Barringun, on the Queensland border, follows the , Main Trunk line from Bourke, and ends at Corowa, extending in an un broken line for 407 miles. There is another such'fence along the entire western boundary of New South Wales, 346 miles long. But even this heroic remedy is not unfailing. The fences are liable to break down, especially in times of flood, and particularly where they cross rivers and creeks. It is impossible to keep the fences under complete and constant supervision in order that breaks may be repaired im- ; mediately, and it does not take long for a few thousand rabbits to pour ! through a break once they find it. It is stated that in many instances hun dreds of thousands of rabbits have been seen dead or dying on the outer side of the fence, having eaten up all 1 the availablefood supplies, and making rain efforts to leap ov>r the closely ! woven wire netting. These fences are expensive to build md expensive to maintain. They 1 bave to be sunk a considerable depth is well as built up quite high. But ifter many years of heavy loss and lisheartening "struggles the Austra lians have come to consider this as the only means of dealing with the pest. A Mean Trick. A man who probably hailed from Buffalo played a powerful mean trick on a Detroit bridal couple at Niagara Falls the other evening. They went to a hotel and registered, had supper and then started out for a night view of the Mighty Roarer. They had not gone far when a man called to them and said : "Have you just been married ?" "We have," anwered the groom. "Going to stay here a day or two?" "Yes." "Having registered at my hotel, you probably intend to remain there ?" "Yes, sir." "Well, I want to say a word to you. I don't want any duck-deary nonsense around my house. I want no popsy wopsy business on the veranda. I want no squeezing hands on the bal conies or feeding each other at the ta bles." The groom let his arm fall from his bride's waist in a slow and pain ful manner and the stranger contin ued: "The first time you call her peachei and cream, or she calls you her darling out you go." "Yes, sir." "She's no sweeter than ten thous and other girls, and you're no more of a darling than I am, and I won't stand lovesick nonsense." He walked away with that, and peo ple at the Falls who knew the bridal couple were amazed to hear them ad dress each other as Mr. and Mrs., and to see what precautions they took to prevent touching hands or betraying any symptoms of love. They put in two wretched days, and it was only as I they were on the point of leaving that I they discovered how a base villain had duped them. Mistreated Him. _& '~ A Michigan man that had just start ed a saw mill in the Pine Flat neigh borhood asked old Bench-Leg Bob if it were really true that the colored man's political privileges were abused. "Yas, it is true, sah. I ain't voted I fur de man I wanted in mo'n six I years.1' . ; "You don't say so !" "Yas, I does say so; ef I hadn't you wouldn't hered whut I did say." J uAnd you have been voting for Democrats all this time, have you ?" I "Yas, sah, dat's zackly whut I been doin'." "That a shame." "Yash, sah, but it kain't be he'ped." "There is no use talking; the gov ernment ought to take this matter in charge. Who did you vote for at the last election ?" j "John Simmons." "A Democrat, I suppose ?" "Er pizenous one. sah dat's whut he is." "And they made you vote for him?" "Dat's whut da done, sah." "Threatened you, I suppose ?" "No, da didn't do dat/* "Then how did they make you vote for him?"

In wrath and tears Edith H?wlett had gone to bed. She had been tuck ed in once, given a drink twice, kissed goodnight three times, and the lamp had been extinguished : but the spark j of rebellion still burned in her child- j ish soul. "Mamma," she cried. "Go to sleep, Edith," her mother said sternly ; "I shall not come in there again." "I want a drink, mamma," Edith pleaded. "You've had two drinks already. Now go to jileep." There was a brief silence, and then Edith tried again. "Mamma, come and kiss me good night." "You've been kissed goodnight, dear, and I shall?not come again, bo go to sleep at once like a good girl." There was another pause, while the lonely child cudgelled her little brain for a new expedient. "Mamma," she cried, at last, "please come in, I'm so hungry." "You cannot have anything to eat tonight, and if I come in there again," the mother said, with rising choler, "it will be to give you a good spank ing !" There was a long pause, and just as it began to look as if the evening's battle were over, the child's voice was heard again. "Mamma," she pleaded, "I'm so lonely in here ! Please come in and spank me I" ? An extradition treaty has been negotiated between Brazil and the United States. ? A Scotchman had a dream in which he saw four rat3 in single file.

Oar friends in Cuba are wise in declin ing to accept Spanish promises of reform as a basis upon which they can lay down their arms and make submission to Cap tain General Wey 1er. They have had these promises before, and Martinez de Campos, who arranged the paoiflcation of Cuba in 1878, has more than once re proached the Spanibb government for its treacherous duplicity. Marshal Prim, Marshal Serrano, Emilio Caatelar, the highest Spanish authorities, have at dif ferent times within the past SO yeara acknowledged that the Cubans were just ified in their aspirations for self-govern ment, and that in every instance in which they laid down their arms on the strength of Spanish promises of relief they have been betrayed and scorned. The insur gents have absolutely no warrant for ex pecting good faith or even mercy from Spain. They would be fools to Ignore the teachings of their terrible and tragic experience. We are all familiar with the causes that led to the revolt now in progress. They are the same causes which have provoked similar revolts at various times since 1865. It was during the great ten years' strug gle, beginning in 1867, that Marshal Prim Baid : "I do not flatter myself that Spain will retain possession of the island. I con sider that the period of colonial autonomy has virtually arrived. However the present contest may end, whether in the suppression of the insurrection, or in the better way of an amicable arrangement through the assistance of the United State;, it is equally as clear to me that the time has come for Cuba to govern her self ; and if we succeed in putting down the insurrection tomorrow, I shall regard the Eubject in the same light, that the child has attained its majority and should be all owed to direct its own affairs. We want nothing more than to get out of Cuba, but it must be done- in a dignified and honorable manner." The pacification by Campos was con summated six or seven years later, but the Spanish promises upon which that pacification was accepted by the Cubans were never fulfilled. Our consul general at Habana said in his report?1885?to the State department : "There is a system of oppression and torture which enters into every phase of life, eats into the soul of every Cuban, mortifies, injures and insults him every hour, impoverishes him and his family from day to day, threatens the rich man with bankruptcy and the poor man with beggary. The ezaotions of the Spanish government and the illegal outrages of its officers are in fact intolerable. They bave reduced the island to despondency and ruin. * The government at Madrid is directly answerable for the niiseiy of Cuba and for the rapacity and venality of its subordinates. * * * No well-Informed Spaniard imagines that Cuba will long continue to submit to this tyranny, or at least that she will long be able to yield this harvest to her oppres sors. Spain cares nothing whatever for the interests, the prosperity or the Buffer ings of her colony. The government does almost nothing to ameliorate any of the evils of the country. The police are everywhere insufficient and inefficient. The roads are no roads at all. Every in terest which might enrich and improve the island is looked upon by the officials au one more mine to exploit. * * Cuba is held solely for the benefit of Sixain and Spanish interests, for the sake of Spanish adventurers. Against this all rebel in thought and feeling if not yet in fact and deed. * * * They wish pro tection from the grasping rapacity of Spain and see no way to attain it except by onr aid." And this only a few years after the Cubans had made submission, believing in Spain's pledges of fair treatment!? New York Sun. -? The way a woman holds up her dress when she goes across a muddy street has heretofore been considered her own affair. There has been an unwritten law among the fair sex that the height would be reg ulated by the size of the woman's foot, and whether or not she had on her best silk petticoat. Last week the question was, bowever.drawn into Court in Brook lyn. A pretty woman was crossing a muddy street, and to keep her skirts from being spoiled raised tbem to a level with her shoe tops. The bicyclist Lindblatt was standing near, and yelled, "Ob, wow, wow," which hurt the feelings of the wo man, and she had him arrested. The Judge realized that this was a serious case, as it bad to legally settle the skirt limit, and had also to take into conside ration the depth or the mud. There were, however, no precedents to be consulted, so he did what was better, he took the opinion of a lot of sensible women before banding down his decision. Be fined the man $25 for his remarks, and backed up the woman's point of view that a woman may hold up her skirts to any height de manded by the mud that was consistent with modesty. ? ?

Attorneys, April S??, ISCfl 41 q It Came Hard, In France, as most of other coun tries, it is neoessary to give one's age when making a statement in a court of justice, as well as in many other of ficial proceedings. But French women of mature years are noted above all other women for their unwillingness to state their age. On one occasion a lady who had to testify was accompanied to the court by a numerous company of her friends, and when the magistrate asked, "How old are you ?" there was such a cough ing and clearing of throats, as of peo ple suffering from severe colds, that all that could be heard in the court room was "-ty years !" Through the amiability of the mag istrate, this more than half suppress ed response was allowed to stand, but the tribunals are not always so lenient. On another occasion a magistrate asked a woman : "What is your age, madam ?" "Whatever you choose, sir ?" an swered the lady, who was under oath. "You may put it down 45 years, then," said the magistrate to the clerk. "What is your occupation, madam ?" "Sir," said the witness, "you have made a mistake of 10 years in my age." "Put down 55 years then," said the magistrate. "Your residence"? "Sir," exclaimed the lady, "my age is 35 years, not 55 1" "At last we have your statement," said the magistrate, and he proceeded with the examination. ?

C?Dear Sir: Your letter of the 17th nb. t. to hand. In reply will say that I am rery much pleased with the policy I bold with the Mutual Benefit, and I know of jo other policy issued bv any other com jany for whteh I would exchange mine with you. My return premiums or divi iend8 have been perfectly satisfactory, amounting every year so far to more than ;wenty per cent of my annual premium. Yours truly, < JOS. J. FRETWELL. Newberby. S. C, Oct. 1,1895. Mr. M. M Mattison, Mgr. Mutual Ben Bfit Life Insurance Co., Anderson, S. C? Dear Sir: Replying to your favor of re cent date, asking my estimate of the value of a policy contract in the Mutual Benefit Life Iosuronce Co., of Newark, N. J., I would say that my attention was called to the advantag/s of owning a policy in this Company about seven years ago by a friend of mine who was receiving 22 per cent dividend annually on a new policy, when I was only getting about 10 per cent on my policy of $3000 in the Equitable Life and about 11 per cent on my $2000 policy in the New York Life. His con tract and mine in these Companies being about the same age. I gave up these poli cies in the Equitable and New York Life and took out two policies of ?'OGO each in the Mutual Benefit Life and the smallest dividend they have paid me was 20 per cent. I carry $6000 besides this in other Companies, but I regnrd the advantages offered by the Mutual Benefit superior to any contract I have ever examined, espe cially the guaranteed face v.ihie, the 30 per cent loan plan, the reputation for economical management, the liberal ex tension features and the large dividends they have credited me with for the past six years. I would not hesitate to recom mend it to any one desiring reliable life insurance for the smallest cash outlay. Sincerely yours, A. C. JONES.
