Washing v?tir of the negotiations with Bj *D !t j8 0f intereBt to recall those ? o this country and Mexico at formina?00 of the two years' war V Meiko. That war dates from ri.lM, to July 4, 1848, tho iPVof ?***0 heiae Promu,8ated afc f latter date. In that war the -.ted States had 112,000 ?nen, nearly '??00 beiog militia and volunteers, LU bad been victorious in nearly ' oDgagcmcnt. though outnum e i Though virtually conquered ?ore the capitulation of the City of ?co to Gen.

In ,Qcert with the commander-in-chief [r Trist continued his attempts, but p Mexican authorities were deaf for while, though finally Santa Anna ting 6uperceded and the army disin* jrrated there was a disposition on "tir part to treat with the victors. \ccordingly when Gen. Scott laid Lfore the Mexican Congress at Que Euro in January, 1848, articles of l,ty, that body appointed commis oncr? at once. These met Mr. Trist iGnadoloupe, Hidalgo, and a treaty f -peace, friendship, limits and B?t ement" was concluded February 2, The attested copy was sent to abbington, and before the end of e mooth was transmitted to the nate, by which it was slightly Leaded and ratified. As amended ie document was sent by A. H. S?rier (minister plenipotentiary) and atbau Clifford (afterward Justice i?preme Court United States) as com l?5sioner? to the Mexican Govern ed at Queretaro, and it was ratified L both houses of Congress, and on [ay 30 thc ratifications were ex hanged by the minister of relations Mexico and Commissioners Sevier d Clifford. This having been done te treaty was promulgated July 4, gig, by 1'reside.it Polk. By thc articles of tho treaty tho nited States troops were to be with rawn from Mexico within three iontbs after thc final ratification, ad within a month after the ex Junge of ratifications-May 30-most the troops had reached their homes, ie bulk of them reaching New Or aos by the middle of Juno, and on ie ensuing Fourth of July the nation lebrated the close of the war simul Jaeously with the promulgation of e treaty. That history repeats itself is evident j the record of the war with Spain, ?my of the events, in the last few iontbs, recalling like achievements former years. The war with Mex ?, which was concluded half a cen ary ago, and resulted in the addition ! BO large and valuable territory to ocle Sam's domain, grew ont of the ?temptof Mexico to encroach on what id been Mexican territory. Texas declared her independence in |37. and was acknowledged by the [rited States, but there was constant n with Mexico for several years, te latter claiming much of the tcrri ry east of the Rio Grande. Early : 1845 Texas, through her Governor, IODgress and Convention, asked the ? and protection of the United Lites army, and President Polk di eted Gen. Taylor, then in Louisiana, ?bold his troops in readiness to move Iito Texas, and shortly after to move, eias at once applied for annexation, jd in December of that year the frmal Act of Congress adding the one Star State was passed. In the [eantime Gen. Taylor was marching ?the western frontier and a squadron usent to the Gulf coast; [Whatever are the reasons theGov fment assigns as th6 causo of tho j |?ent war, the general pnblio look on 1? a war by invitation, fought in the Hereat of a downtrodden people, the U?8 being similar to those which a to the Mexican war-misrule and cession.

'lon Star. planning an attack by land and sea, appeared incredible and comical. Re cently we had the capture of Ponce by a few of the smaller vessels of the navy before the army reached there. Then we had the Texas Rangers, with McCullough and Sam Walker; now we have our Rough Riders. Then the light artillery (popularly known as flying artillery) of Ringgold, Bragg, Duncan, Sherman played as important parts as Capron's and other batteries recently achieved. In that war many who took high rank on the Union and Confederate sides in thc civil war won their first laurels, and some have sons and grandsons in the service now. Among these were Gens. Grant, Sherman, Meade, Pope, Reynolds, Huger, Kear ney, Fremont, Wright, Emory and Mansfield and others on the Union side, and Gens. Longstreet, E. Kirby Smith and Ewell, of thc C. S. A., with Jefferson Davis, the President of the Confederacy. Geo. Worth, who was wounded re cently at Santiago, is the son of Major Gen. Worth, who served ou the staff of Gen. Scott in the war of '12, and who made a most brilliant record in Mexico. That the son is a chip of the old block is shown by the record he made in the civil war and his con duct at Santiago. Gen. Fitz Lee, who comes from the "Light Horse Harry" stook of the Revolution, won his first laurels in the Indian campaign, and others in the Confederate service as a geueral officer under his distinguished uncle, Robert E. Lee. The father of Gen. Fred Grant and grandfather of Capt. Sartoris, Gen. U. S. Grant, served in Mexioo. Gen. Wm. M. Gra ham is a son of Col. W. M. Graham, who fell in Mexico leading the 11th infantry at Molino del Rey. Lieut. J. P. G. Ord, killed at Santiago, is the son of Gen. E. 0. C. Ord, who was an officer of "the regulars in the Mexican war, who died a few years ago in Havana. Lieut. Fremont, of the navy, whoBe effective work on the Cuban coast has made a bright name, is the son of the modest Capt. Fre mont, of the Mexican war, and be bids fair to make the family name as bright in naval annals as it is in military history and civic record. The Mexican war was not only school for young officers, who rose to important commands in the civil war, but was a stepping stone to high pisces in oivil life in some instances successful. Gen. Taylor, (old Rough and Ready,) crowned with laurels won in Mexico, was elevated to the PreBi dentisl chair, while another of the generals,' W. O. Butler, was the de feated candidate for Vice President. Gen. Pierce filled the succeeding term defeating Gen. Scott, who had bess his commander-in-chief in Mexico, and for the next term Gen. John C. Fremont was the unsuccessful can didate. The civil war, too, produced several candidates for the Presidency in the persons of Geh. McClellan, who was unsuccessful ; Gen. Grant, who filled two terms; Gen. Hayes, father of Col. Webb Hayes who filled one term; Gen. Garfield, who was successful over Gens. Hancock and Weaver; Gen, Logan, defeated on the ticket with Mr. Blaine; Gen. Butler, and Gen. Harrison and Major McKinley, who were successful. Two Battlefield Observations. I have just come down from the trenches to Roosevelt's tent. The hill under the firing line looks like the abode of cave-dwellers, so bur rowed is it with bombproofs, which are merely shallow caves dug into the ?ide of a hill with the point of a bayo net, and covered with , flat projecting roofs of planks and layers of dirt. The men dug bombproofs and trenches moBt willingly, especially the negro troopers. "Foh God," said one, as he swung his pick at dusk after the fight of San Juan, "I coyer thought I'd git to love a pick befahl" The men up at the trenches are ready. Their cartridges are piled along the edge of the pits-in the tops of oornbeef cuns, on pieoes of boards, in little ?aollows scooped from the dirt -and everybody is eager and expect ant. Sergeant Burrows, bronzed and grimy, is at the breeoh of his long dynamite gun, as keen for another ex periment as a child with a Christinas toy that he has not fully mastered. A young German stands at a machino gun not far away. "It is norvouB at first," it says, "just waiting. But after the shoot ing begins it is all right. I hear no bullets-nutting-the gun makes so much noise. Two of my men were killed the udder day, and I shoot on for two hours and not know it.'* John Fox in Harper'? Weekly.

Fer salo by Evans Pharmacy. Santiago SoMlftr* nn rnhM f?A??Hlti^5i ? Virginia member of thc hospital department of the Second Division of ?be Fifth army corps, who was in Co lumbia on his way home on a furlough, chatted interestingly to a representa tive of The State yesterday about the state of affairs in Cuba. He had been in the Santiago district, arriving there tho day after the big fight, and is now off on a furlough to try and recover from an attack of intermittent fever, which he contracted in Cuba. "Yes," said he, "I will talk to you about Cuba, provided you don't use my name, because I am still a member of the United States Army, and I might be punished for what I sav. 4'Conditions in Cuba ? Well, they are horrible. The Cubans are starv ing to death every day and their plight is growing more and more serious. I cannot see anything for them in the future but wholesale death, unless our government promptly sends them food and clothing. The imagination can hardly take in the completeness of the devastation of the country there. The armies of Spain and Cuba have swept back and forth over thc land, carrying ruin with the torch at every trip, so that now there is nothing but a few cocoanuts for the natives to maintain themselves on. What was missed by one army was picked up by the other. I cannot see how the Cubans are to keep alive much longer. They are starving by the hundreds daily now. It was pitiable to see those poor crea tures hanging about our camps, pick ing up hard tack and old clothes the soldiers threw them. The women and children, as well as the men, were either ragged or altogether naked, and with their faces sunken and haggard from want of food. They were the impersonation of misery. . "There is no crop on the island, and all we had for roads were ditches, some 16 and 20 feet deep, which had been washed out among the under growth by the heavy rains. "Of course the soil is very fertile, and Cuba ought to make a rich and prosperous place, but it will be-a long time yet before residence there by civ ilized people will be possible, though it doubtless will in time be of great commercial importance, especially to the South. The lumber market there is especially rich. But I would not advise any one to go there just now, because of the conditions I have just told you about." "Thc health oonditious in Cuba, however, are not any worse than they are among the soldiers in Florida. There are prevalent in Cuba all styles of fever, but there is no smallpox, and the yellow fever is of a mild type. In Florida malarial fever, and especially typhoid fever, is playing havoc among the troops, and deaths are becoming alarmingly frequent. Every day a large number of sick are transferred to Atlanta and elsewhere, but the hos pital fills up as fast as it is emptied. I will tel! yoi: two interesting inci dents that grew out of the Santiago fight among the wounded. "One of these occurrences shows the unique effect of the present day steel bullet. A private in a front rank was shot through the right lung, and, though the bullet that passed through this vitai part of the body killed the fellow just behind him in the rear rank, the man with the wound tiiFOugh his luug is lo-oay ns well ano lively as a jay bird. The clean, shari wound healed without* suppuration, and when I left him in Florida he wat walking about out of doors as if noth ing had happened to him. "The other incident is this : A North Carolina regular just before lu left for Cuba had a talk with his girl and she advised him to take a squirre along with him to Cuba aa a mascot He protested against the absurdity and nuisance of such an awkward mas oot, but when she insisted with tearj in her eyes and declared she wouh never again see him alive unless h< carried the squirrel with him, he con eented, although she could give n other reason than that she felt thi would be his only salvation. The sol dier kept his promise to always hav the little pet near him, and it rod upon his shoulder when he went int the fight. A bullet out off the tail e the squirrel, and as he turned to se what waa the matter another bulle slightly wounded him in the head The missile would have pierced bi brain bad he not turned to look at th squirrel just at that time.

Sold I Hili^OrrDrugCo. It would shook a teetotaler to tell him that coffee drinking is more in jurious to the human system than whisky drinking; yet that is practi cally what Dr. Oliver P. Rex, medical director of the Penn Mutual Insur ance company, says. The medical gentlemen who guard the interests of the insurance companies havo done muoh to teach thc present generation how to live. Having the best oppor tunities of studying physiological problems they aro able to draw accu rate general conclusions from the great number of individual cases which come under their observation as medi cal examiners. The physician for an insurance com pany always makes a careful examina tion of the action of thc heart for organic or functional derangements. If he finds an organic trouble which -w,.wwi I.? uiin 11 tr "turna UaUUUU WV* IW1AJV1 VU ? . V. W . W WW . J VMtMM down" the applicant for insurance. He finds plenty of cases with funct ional troubloe, due to various causes, which may be cured in greater or less timo by removing the causes. Ho de tects these by listening to thc heart beats; and to a well trained ear the variations of these heart-beats from the rhythm of a healthy heart indi cates ono cause of the derangement. It is easy, Dr. Rex said, to note the difference between tho "bicycle heart," a "whisky heart'' and a ''cof fee heart." These troubles are so frequently met with by examiners that they are commonly known by tho above names. The man or woman who exercises by riding a bicycle up hill or "scorching," produces an en largement, or hypertrophy, of the heart. Th? stimulation of alcohol, tobacco, coffee or tea affects tho rhymth of the beats. A heart-beat consists of two sounds, one long and one short. In the first, blood is' filling the relaxed heart; in the second, the heart contracts, with a corkscrew motion and violently ex pels the blood through the arteries. It is essential to a healthy circulation that the first movement should bo completed and the heart filled before the second is begun. Strong stimu lants disturb the'regular action, short ening the length of the long beat, and a long continuance in their usc may make the derangement perma nent. The best remedy, of course, is to remove the cause, and the doctor, re ferred to several cases where marked beneficial results were produced with in short periods. He would confine the use of coffee to two cups a day. Coffee topers are plentiful and are as much tied to their cups as the whisky toper. The effect of the coffee upon the heart is more lasting, and, conse quently, worse than that of liquor. It is a powerful stimulant, and in certain oases of extreme weakness is more valuable than liquor. As a beverage it is important to use it only at the close of a meal, when it is said to assist digestion. In this respect it is unlike tea, which, by its tannie acid, prevents digestion. Men and women alike suffer from too much coffee, but men alone, in this country; a. least, are the sufferers from "tobacco heart," the result principally of smoking. There is not only the stimulus which comes from smoking and chewing alike, but there is tho action of the nicotine in smok ing which creates an additional dis turbance of the heart's functions. Dr. Rex has found that smoking after the day's work is done is less harmful than the morning and midday cigar. In one or two cases that he mentioned, gentlemen told him that by omitting smoking during the day they found their brains clearer for business and their digestion improved. Of course it will be understood that as the heart is the center of the cir culatory system, any disturbance of its action must affect every part cf the body; and this in turn produces diseases in other organs. It is not surprising, therefore, that the exam ining surgeons of the army have re jected many fine looking fellows with tobacco hearts and bicycle hearts on the ground that they would break down under the strain of service in the field.-Philadelphia Ledger.

Many accounts of thc operations near Santiago and other places in Cuba show that barbed wire plays an im portant part in the defences of tho is land. It has been known ever since the revolution began in Cuba that the Spanish trooha or dead linc was marked with barbed wire, but until the United StateB troops reached tho island there wore only indistinct, ideas as to how the wire was used and to what extent it became an impediment to an invading or opposing force. It was believed by many that these barbed wiro abatis were simply wire fencos of from four to eight feet high, but in has been found that they arc not built on the fence plan. Thc wire is stretched from tree to tree at irreg ular heights. Sometimes a strand will be fastened to a stump, and from there to a height of eight or ten feet from thc ground. In this way hodges with six or eight strands of barbed wire are run along for miles, the construction being so irregular that one never knows where to look for the intividual strands. The whole forms a formidable barrier. This style of abetis is popular in all southern countries, and luis been used wherever there has been a war sinco barbed wire became a commercial com modity. The only thing like a barbed wire hedge used in the civil war was a telegraph wire hedge at thc siege of Knoxville. It bas been said by the Cuban and South American leaders that the barb ed wire is superior to wood abatis made from limbs of trees because the wood can be torn to pieces by artillery fire, and once down the forces can march through the breech. It can also bo set on fire The barbed wire became a commercial commodity in this way, and Thomas A. Hdisou has suggested that a dynamo might make thc collec tion of wire strands exceedingly hard to handle. But it does not appear that the scientific methods have been employed by the Spaniards, and their wire hedges were simply irregular, ob stinate, and most uncomfortable thi'jgs which yielded, however, to the nippers with which tho troops were supplied. The large manufacturers of barbed wire say that while great quantities of their product were sent io Cuba dur ing the last two years, they have no means of knowing how much of it was used in building defensive works. They discredit the report that the American expedition to Manilla car ried many tons of barbed wire to be used in building hedges similar to those used in Cuba. They believe that much wire has been sent there, but they say that it will be used for purposes of peace and not for war. Pop Corn in Milk. A Northern business man living in the South has found an agreeable cure for insomnia. It answered perfectly in his case, and no longer needing it as medicine he continues it as food, It is a most agreeable dish of pop com. The corn is popped in the usual wire basket, and while hot it is put in a hot bowl. Scalding milk is poured over it, and in two minutes it is soft and ready to be sprinkled with sugar, unless salt and pepper are preferred. The addition of a little vanilla trans forms the juvenile favorite into a del icate hasty pudding. To keep thc corn after gathering, put it (on the cob) in a cool place ; if shelled it loses its moisture sooner, and after awhile will not pop. The place where other corn is kept is best to preserve it in. Pop corn hot served in bowls of hot milk is a Southern refection at card parties. " um - He Had the Bad Ones. They were two little brothers who had toddled in from the farm, each with a neatly paoked basket of peach es. The spruce old gent on the cor ner stopped tho first and asked: "Say, bud, what's that basket of fruit worth ?" "Twenty-five cents," was the prompt reply. Turning to the other youngster the old gent asked the same question and was somewhat surprised when the lit tle fellow answered: "Fifteen cents." "All right, young man, I'll trade with yon," replied the old gent, hand ing over the change and receiving the basket. "I am well pleased with my trade," he remarked as he started to walk away.

A VALUABLE REMEDY T SOLD BY ALL Price Si .or? EVANS PHARMA! Is Sunstroke Epidemic I It may become possible to forecast sunstroke epidemics. Thc weather bureau, at Washington, is conducting a board investigation with that end in view. Among thc iutcrestiug facts brought vutby the statistics collected, says the New York /'ww, are that the old notion that sunstrokes are not apt to occur on dry. hot days is fallacious; that people in lloston are more liable to the affliction than are those in New Orleans; that sunstrokes are not due to sudden rises of temperature, but to continuous hot weather, and that in order to produce a sunstroke epidemic the nights, as well as the days, must bc hot. Experiments recently made in France show that one is much more liable to become sunstruok when tired than when rested. Like scarlet fever, sunstroke often leaves to its victim some permanent malady. On *he other band, it has been known to havo acted like thc gold cure on men who had previously been addicted to drink. Many of our soldiers in the tropics have been victims of sunstroke since the war began, a largo number of the cases occurring on board tho transport vessels when the men were inordinate ly crowded together pending delays. A large proportion of the strokes oc curred at night. A military surgeon, who had studied heat strokes in thc army for twenty years, says he has seen most victims fall when the sun was obscured by clouds or mist. Sensational reports that this work of the weather bureau was being dono in order to be able to forecast waves of crime duo to weather conditions has been somewhat embarrassing to the department because there was no such purpose in view. Nevertheless, some statistics lately collected tend to show that thc public morals really are at a lower ebb in summer than in win ter. The Chicago police records, com pared with statistics of that city's weather bureau, show that for a period of eight years marked increase of crimo set in with the hot weather. They also show that crimo increases as rain fall decreases, and that' tho peopia of thc Windy City are most immoral when winds are southwest and least so when northeast. In the Bull Creek Hills. There is a boy in Taney County, ac-1 cording to a story which is making thc rounds, who has a record which perhaps few, if any, old hunters can match. Ile killed a dear with a mar ble. True, the marble was shot from a gun, but still thc occurrence may bo ranked among the most unusual of hunting events. The lad was out in the woods shooting, and he had ex hausted his supply of shot. He had put into his muzzle-loader, a single barrel gun of the old pattern, a charge of powder, when he discovered that his shot pouch was empty. The boy had in his pocket a marble whioh he used as a i;taw" in playing the com mon game. The marble exactly fitted the muzzle of the gun, and hardly thinking what might result from ex periment, the young hunter dropped the "taw" down on the wadding cov ering the powder. Strange things happened down in the Bull Creek bills, and on his way home the boy came upon a deer, whioh, at close range, stood and challenged his aim. The adventurous soion of good hunt ing stock leveled his gun, pulled the trigger and brought down the game, the marble boring a hole in the vitals of the deer.-Kansas City Journal.
