If shpuld have a qualification to vote, othejr ..than that of good citizenship or addonal thereto, reading would suf fice J "I" also dislike the poll tax feat ure., And then, there Is no provision for those who are physically infirm, and f or. that reason cannot, write : They are left out in the cold even after 1898. ,Andr next, if it does not disfranchise a single white man, and is intemdted to disfranchise the negro only, does it not fall within the condemnation of tae iu. teenth amendment to the federal con stitution, which reads: "The rights of citizens of the United' st-ntea fn. vz t t -w-w-x, TVSl Lehall not be denied or abridged by the unitect'tstates or by any state on ac count of race, color or orevious condl. kton of servitude.'

Early last fall there was published an account of a box of cold being piowea up near the old battle ground of Jack- . . . a TT I son, Miesissipi. ur. Anaerson, xii&ii lands;, N. C. according to the Highlands correspondent of the Franklin Press, was at that time there as - commissioned of ficer in an Ohio regiment and he gives the facts of tne my -'.en-us disappear ance of a box containing $50,0v0 in gold, which was undoubtedly the one found. Dr. Anderson says: On the 14th of May, 1863, after a brief but 'terrible battle. Jackson was taken and occupied by General Crock er's division of the Seventeenth artillery corns. Grant's army. General Crocker appropriated for his headquarters a fine mansion, surrounded by spacious grounds in the mburo of the citv. Along in the twilight or tne eve ning the owner of these premises mani fested great uneasiness, by walKing two amd fro on his porch, the meanwhile anxiously watching a collection .of sol diers who were evidently searching for something beneath the shrubbery by probing the earth with their bayonets and ramrods. Finally the old gentleman called the General aside and confidentially told him, that when he found that the union army was approaching Jackson he had an iron box containing about $50,000 in gold buried down there, and that he pre sumed that his negroes had tola the sol diers about it, and now he would flike to have It linearthed and brought to the house and protected while the army re mained, whereupon the box was taken, up and placed in a room in the mansion with a guard at the door. The next morning the guard was still at the door of the room, but the box was gone, and the moat diligent search failed to find it or elicS any clue to the manner of its extraction, from the room. .Now, Inas much as the regiiment to which the de tail for this guard belonged, was order ed to march with the army early next morning, and during the next three or four days lost heavily in one of the most bloody battles of the war, it Is not too much to conjecture that every soldier who had any knowledge of the spiriting away and hiding of this box was kMed ttn one of the terrible battles that was fought during one of the latter days of May. between Jackson and Vlcksburg, and may we not reasomibly jump to ihe remcluKion that the box that was re cently found as the same that so'raye teriously disappeared during the night Of May 14,' 1863 y ' .

In the February' instalment of "Sailing Alone Around the Worlu," Captain Slo cum tells the readers of the Century how he brought ihe Spray from Cape Town to FaSrhaven, Mass., where he had huilJt. and launched her. Ihlis concluo.es the narrative of his single-handled voy age of over 46,000 miles, but in March ha will describe, for navigators, the con struction, gear, and rig of his adventur ous sloop. A pleasant visit from Admiral Sir Harry Raw son of the Royal Navy and Ms family ibrought to an end the Spray's social relations with the Cape of Good Hope. The 'admiral, then commanding the South African squadron, and now in command of the great channel; ;fleetr evinced ethe greatest interest in the di minutive Spray and her behavior off Cape Horn, where he was not an entire stranger. I have to admit that I was delighted with the trend of Admiral Rawson's questions, and that I profited by some of his suggestions, notwiftu standing the wide difference in our re spective commands. On March 26, 1898. the Spray sailed from South Africa, the land ofi distances and pure air, where she had pent a pleasant and profitable time. The steam tug Tigre towed her to sea from her wonted berth at the Alfred Docks, giv ing her a good offing. The light morning breeze, which scantly filled her sails when the tug let go the towline. soon died away altogether, and left her rid ing over a heavy swell, in full view of Table Mountain and the hign peaks of the Cape of Good Hope. For a while the grand scenery seemed to relieve the monotony. One of ithe old circumnaviga tors (Sir Francis Drake, I think), when he nrsj saw this magnificent pile, sang " 'Tis the fairest thing and the grandest cape I've seen in the whole circumfer ence of the earth."
