An Ex-Confederate Veteran under General Picket during the rebellion, at a recent meeting held at Phila delphia in support of the soldiers ticket says: “When General Grant started your parly on that high plane of treatment of our people he put us on our honor. We were down on our backs, uud the Republican party was throned in absolute power. In our anticipation it was only a ques tion bow many of our leaders you would consider it necessary to bang V’ou might have treated us as the prostrate inhabitants of conquered islands, and you received us instead as fellow citizens, and lived up to your proclamations that yon had been lighting with us for four years only to keep us in thut relation. Much lias been said of the magna nimity, the generosity, the charity and soon of the treatment of the south by the north after the war, but it. took the present war to call proper utlenlion to the foresight and broad statesmanship of the Republican party in following the policy it has pursued. McKinley has shown him self worthy of the example of Lin coln and Grant. When he contin ued Fit/. Lee at Havana uud then gave old Joe Wheeler the chance he sought to go out and get shot at un der the old Hag he wurmed our hearts and turned a clinch on the good work of thirty years ago. ‘•What do we folks think of Mc Kinley? Whut did you think in '<14 when it was tried to put somebody else in Lincoln's place to settle the job? No president since Lincoln has grown upon the country after liis election so fust as McKinle y, and there are a lot of us down south who uever voted unything but a Democ ratic ticket who are not only going to be for McKinley next time but who are for the ticket that represents McKinley this full. The party that has fought the war must be the party to settle the issues growing out of the war, now as in ’<>5. We may be just at the begiuiog of our troubles aud all the nations of this earth must be taught that this county stands right behind its president as the north stood by Lincoln. His defeat would have been worth an army to the Con federacy then, and any doubtful sound that would go out to the world from our voting places this fall might cost us another war. You—we—have one party in this country which has proved itself capable not only of conducting a great war. but of gath ering its fruits aud dealing with the questions which follow, and the en thusiasm for its success in the elec tions this year is just plain horse sence. And so.,’ he added, witu a sweeping gesture toward the room where the war veterans were declar ing their loyalty to the ilepublican soimer nonet, "so is mat 1 woman t give shucks for an old soldier who wouldu t stuud by unother old soldier whenever be got a chance."

Most of the troops who swarmed up the slopes at Santiago, and captured intrenched positions held by seasoned troops and swept by artillery were mere untrained butchers, bakers and candlestick makers at the beginning of the war. When they went into camp at Tampa they were the greenest of the raw hands. Many of their officers were probably very little better. Their commissariat was a practical joke. Transport, medical service, all hud to lie created. The chief part of their equipment was their spirit as free men, their general intelligence, their lifelong habit of turning their bands and their bruins to anything and to master it ut uncomonly sitorl notice. In one word, they had nothing ut their hack but the sys tem; and their whole military organ ization is liaised on ttie belief that with this, they hare the wherewithal for the ruggedest hour that time and spite can bring against their country in time of danger.

These, with their pro nunciations, are: A (ah), e (a), o (o as in ho), n (oo), h (hay), k(kay), 1 (la), m (moo), n (noo), p (pay), ami w (vay). The missionaries addod a thirteenth, t, | but the natives won't havo it, and con tinue to pronounce, for instance, the name of the root from which poi is made “kara.'' although the mission aries have it “tara.* Every vowel in a word is distinctly sounded, except that the vowels ‘‘ai’' are sounded “i,” as In English. Waikiki, the beach in Hono lulu, is properly pronounced "VI keekoe." Thoro is a great difference in the speech of the high and low caste natives. Tho first call their island group “Ha-va-ee-ee,” and tho latter bo gin it all right with “Ha, ’’ but con clude with a guttural gruiit, and the word heard most, “Aloha,” sounds soft and beautiful on the Ups of the first, but is a lazy, good natured grunt as tho latter speak it. Aloha is in their limited vocabulary at once a greeting and farewell, a form al expression of regard aud of deep love. In the latter case it ia increas' d in warmth and depth of meaning by modifying adjectives annexed instead of prefixed, as “Aloha uui," “Aloha uni loa,” or oven “Aloha nul loa kea!" —and then it ia time to speak to papa. —New York Herald. How Him Won Over the .1 iidge. A woman resident of Detroit relates an interesting talo of Kansas justioe years ago. It was after her wedding trip that her husband was called to Kansas on business and a real estate dealer, out of spite, had him arrested. The prisoner was taken before a local justice of the peace. The incensed bride insisted u))on attending the trial, aud while it was in progress she so far forgot herself as to deliberately level her opera glasses npou the justice, who dashed undor the table and shonted: 4 4 T\ .b sU.,4 Iff Thu officer secured the glasses and cautiously laid them before the magis trate, who promptly fined the woman ,000 for contempt of court. With gracious diguity she asked the right to defend herself, and, going up to the bench, she explained that the glasses were not harmful, and had the justioe look through them, and after a few pretty words of apology she presented them to him. He hit the table a mighty blow to reconvene court, and lined the prosecuting witness $26 “fur insultin a visitin lady and gent in contrariety ter law and eterket. ”—New York Tribune. Blunders In Song* and Programmes, I suppose all composers have bad a laugh over i he extraordinary mistakes which son < times occur in the first proofs of then- songs. Iremember, years ago, writing u very sentimental love song in whioh the line occurred: I've never onoe regretted the row I made that dey. My feelings may be imagined when I found they had printed I've never onoe regretted the row I made that day. And onoe the following amusing mis take occurred in the programme of one of my own oonoerts. A well known singer and very good friend of mine was down to sing my two songs, “To Mary” and “Crabbed Age and Youth.” But the newspaper announced some thing very different. Not content with drawing up a programme of my ooncert, it drew up a programme of my future, for I read as follows: Mr. Blank To Marry Maude Valerie White. Crabbed Age and Youth. —Cornhill Magazine. Bemsnyl Found a “Oaynlooe.” The late Edouard Reraenyi appears to have been the “discoverer” of Jo hannes Brahms, who was a boy of 19 when the Hungarian violinist found him in Hamburg in 1863. They went on a ooncert tour, so the story goes. and fetched up at Weimar almost pen niless. Liszt invited Remenyi to stay at the Altenburg. “I have plenty of room for you,’’ ha said. “You have perhaps a servant with you?” "Oh,no! lhaveagayniooa“(genius). “A what?” “Muster, I have here with me the greatest composer since Beethoven, and I have come to solicit your protection for him." “Very well. Bring slung your guy aious, and we will see.” Lint saw, and after him othera also found their vision cleared.
