Seftor I/ Twelve o'clock midnight. From far ill ross the country comes a dull, holiow, reverherat ng boom-the signal gun of the Spanish forces. Slowly, tlmostp painfull3', the Cuban patriot flung ick his light blankel,. gazed upwatrd for a moment at the burning mass of stars in the heavens. then fell back again to dream of bloot'y charcs made by the gray dragoons of Spain. and of their repulse by the sturdy Cuban machetetrs.

A short stay in New 'ork will eonl viIce any observant Southerner that the part which the penny plays in life in this great center of p)opuIation LC counts, in a greatt mlieasure, for the fact thatt tlere is such I vast accuinu la1tionI Of wealth h10-e0eab0Uts. It will also convince, bin that the South and the Vest loso a great deal by virtue of the fact that the penny plays no part in thoso sections as a nedium of barter and trade. Up here the )onny, the insignificant, contemptiblo little copper cent, that nobody will touch in the South. that is scorned as beneath consideration and cast into Northorn-made slot niachines or any other convenient receptacle as totally unworthy of ownership, is a powerful factor in the upbuilding of fortunes, in the maintonanee of whole families, and in the conduct of the largost, as well as the smallest branches and chiannels of business. Prom the newsboys, whose single standird and unit of value is the penny, to the greatgt. department stores of this metropolis, which scale all their prices to the iowest penny's concession, the cOpper cenlt plays an execedingly ilportant part in the daily course of Ovents. In the mattoe of the street venders' trade it is an all-powerful factor. ],n the South if you want an apple or oven two applIes to eat as you walk or at your denk, or if you fancy a banana or a ioar, or a few peanuts, .ou must buy at least live cents worth of them, receiving three or four apples, as many bananas, two or three pears, and enough peanuts to make yourself and all of your friends sick. You must take on this large stock or go without the dainty. The vender will not hear to selling less than live cents worth of aything, arid ou lA compelled to buy three times what you rea.: y want. The difference up here is quite marked. The penny, as I have said, is the unit of value vith these fakirs. An apple, a pear, at banana, a block of peanut candy, and Innumerable other (It licacies can be had for the in- ignili cant cent. You do not miss the outlay and yet get all that you wish for the timo being. Two results follow. People here get what they want chcaper and trado is vastly stimulated by the fact that you can buy so little at a tine that you do not miss the amount spent. Both sides-the Purchaser and the seller-are bonelited by the system and both are thoroughly satisfied with it,. But greater than this the penny 4 the basis of fortune up here. It is at admonition of frugality's advantages, It teaches the saving habit and emipha sizes in a really wonderful manner thc value of nickles and dimes and dollars, Never can a Southern man lppr Ciate the expression, " a dollar looked as big as a cart wheel to him," until bC gets up 1here asnong these ponny-sav ing people. Tho penny habit does not stop witl the Is,, of tile Cent itself, blt cuts tc the half cent and even further. On all of t lie ferries and on the cable cart over Blrooklyn bridge the fare for a singl trip is three cents. if you buy two tickets at a timi1 you get them fo 26 cents each, saving at half cenit, or one who1l01 cent on the two tickets. i you buy six or 12 at a time the savingj is larger ini proportion. SO) even thet half cent cuts its swathl inl tinanial toperautionls.

They visited each other two or throc times a year, and most of their tim( wats put in trying to convince caot other that they were wrong politically rho Wichita man met the Cold watei man last winter. and he appealed t( him strongly to come over to the 1te. publicans and find salvation and thai peace of mind that it brings. The Coldwater man could not be persuaded Finally the Democratic conventior wits held at Chicago, with results fam iliar to everybody. The Coldwater man changed hit politics and became a Republican. H( felt good, as every Democrat does wh( sees the errors of his ways. le coulh not keep his joy to himself, so he tooli the train and camte posto haste to Wi chita, and went direct to the home o his friend.

If we were t judge by the loegevity of soldiers b the pension list, it would be some thing astonishing, for that has steadil, increased ev .r since the war, througi the merciful interposition of a bencli cent Congress, which may yet agaii rarrest tie increasing rate of imortalit for pensionors, is not for soldiors. It i something that the disbursements har conmc witnin the enormous appropria Lion of $1 10,00U,000, but we observ that the estimate tot the next fisca year -is the sano amount, notwith stan~ling the promised diminution c the roll."
