Breakfast Saved the tuion.
" 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.

At Any Cost.
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"

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!?

-? 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. ?

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.

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.

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.
