CURRENT COMMENT . - Poverty has its compensa tions. It is to be noted that it is always the "wealthy" farmer who is buying gold bricks or running away with his neighbor's wife or hanging himself or shooting somebody else. The needy agriculturist is presuma bly too busy noeing corn to get into A such scrapes. Chieago Chronitle, Dem. The negroes of Virginia have contributed about 110,000 to fight the new constitution of this State. For all practical purposes of good to themselves or to any one else, ex- cept the lawyers on their side of the case;4hey might as well havepoured their dollars in a rat hole. Will the negroes never learn anything in the hard school of experience? Especial ly, will they never learn that the way to their elevation and prosperity as a race does not lie through the field of politics, but in the acquisition of wealth and learning Petersburg Index-Appeal. Mr. John G. Webb of Florida writes to the New York Sun, quoting a dictum of John C. Oalhoun, that "cotton cannot be profitably raised where there is no frost." This was anuounced in one of his masterly speeches in the United States Sen ate. Mr. Webb continues: "Since then I have become a Southern farmer and I have learned that Mr. Calhoun's dictum is true. The cost of eliminating the last year's foliage, unaided by frost, is too great." This is another illustration of the profound philosophical intellect of Calhoun. He was not content to go along blindly, but he must first see things, and then see the reason of them. How many persons, farmers or others, would have thought of this and realized that the tenderness of the cotton plant is a blessing be- ' cause a hardy plant would not easily be removed from the soil P It has been said that Calhoun was the best farmer in South Carolina. He cer tainly was a close observer. Colum bia State (Dm.) rWINKLINUS "hi" exclaimed the fair sum mer boarder as a couple of calves scampered across the meadow, "what pretty little cowlets."

Two Union officers, prisoners of war, at Tullahoma, Tenn., were sitting in the Jail yard plajing euchre. A Confed erate officer approached with a paper tn his hand and spoLo to them. "Captains Ward and Greenway, I am ordered to select one of you to be shot in retaliation for a Confederate of the same rank receatly shot by the Feder als at Murfreesboro under the false accusation of beiinj a spy, Since you both come under the order you must draw lots to determine which shall suffer death." The prisoners paled at this grim an nouncement. "We have cards here," said the older man, Ward. "Let us play a game of enchre." "Make it a rubber," said the Confed-i erate. "Barton," said the younger man, "this is terrible." "It Is only death," replied the other, "which we often face In another form." Barton Ward dealt the cards, and the game began. The first game he lost by a point; the second ho won by a point; the third he lost badly. "Are you satisfied with the outcome?" asked the man in gray. "I am." "Come." The two Union officers embraced with emotion. As Barton Ward passed out of the Jail yard to a file of soldiers standing in the street bis conductor asked: "Why did you give him the first and last games?" "Because he Is idolized by bis moth er, whom I revere, and his sister, whom I love. In his death three would suffer; in mine, but one." "Sergeant," said the Confederate, "march your men and the prisoner to headquarters." When the party arrived the officer entered the general's tent. The com mander was sitting before a pine table with a scowl on his face. Turning he said gruffly: "Who are you and what do you want?" "I am Major Carries and I wish your authority to insert the name of Cap tain Barton Ward on the order for the shooting of a Federal captain in retaliation for our Captain Stanbury." At that moment a mounted officer on a foaming horse dashed up to the tent and called: "General, the enemy has possession of the gaps." "Orderly," shouted the general, "tell the chief of staff I wish to see him Immediately." Then to those about him: "We are flanked. We must get out of Tullahoma tonight." "The order, general," said the major. "I cannot obey' it unless the name Of' the officer to be shot is properly filled in." The chief of staff hurried into the tent "What shall I do, general?" the major persisted. "Get away from here, or I will have you snot in place or tne prisoner, l have no time for such matters." Early the next morning the Union advance guard, pressing down the road to Tullahoma, passing hastily thrown up defenses, finally came to the main fortifications, behind which the Con federates had expected to defend the town, and found them deserted. Press ing on, they came upon the rear guard . of the Confederate array and captured a body of men, among them the Union prisoners who had been in Jail at Tul lahoma. Major Canics, who had charge of them, found the tables turned. Yesterday he was a jailer; now he was n prisoner. "Captain," he said to Burton Ward, "I congratulate you." "Major," returned Ward, "I trust that hereafter when you are ordered to shoot Union prisoners, you will be as particular in the drawing of your order as you have been In this case." Captain Ward made It his especial business to see that the man who had bo nearly acted as his. executioner should be treated with every kindness. Carnes remained a prisoner for some months, during which time he learned from Henry Greenway that Captain Ward was a rejected suitor for the hand of Greenway's Bister, Alice. Carnes suld nothlug about having no ticed that Ward had purposely lost the games which had been played, with llfo for the stake, and when he was exchanged the secret went south with him undlvulged. In the spring of 1SG5 the war was ended, and the Union armies marched home. Barton Ward met Alice Green way; she relented and consented to be his wife. The wedding had taken ! place, and the bride and groom depart ed in the usual shower of rice. The same evening when they were alone the young wife said to her husband: "Barton, why do you suppose I mar ried you?" "Because you loved me," said the groom, starting at the strangeness of the question. "I love you truly, but there Is a rea son why I would hate married you even if I did not love you." "And that is?"

Ina-eBiana Plan Devised to Lift Skips ' From Oeesa'i Bed Smoke Spanlsk, Cruisers May Also Be Raised at Restored. Unless the plans of the engineers, are all awry the wreck of the battleship Maine, which has lain in the mud at the bottom of Havana harbor since Feb. 15, 1898, will be raised from its lgnoDle bed and once more breast the curling wave. The plans, which are now 0Qfiplett, are the result of constant .s'tuSyBinca the Spanish war by Mr. George Rich ardson of Chicago, an enfcinser df ex perience. The scheme itself is simple, although it involves a great deal . of la bor and will require three months V be put into execution. But before any thing further can be done it will be necessary to secure the consent et the government. At the next session of congress the United States will be asked to release its ownership in the sunken vessel and also to turn over to Mr. Richardson the Spanish ships that lie beneath the wa ters off the southern coast of Cuba. If congress will grant the jprjvilege, work will be at once begun by Mr. Richard son on one of the sunken Spanish ships, as he thinks they can most easily be raised. It is his intention, however, to raise all the ships if his plan will work at all. In beginning the work several rows of piles will be sunk parallel to each side of the wreck. These piles will" rest on the hardpan and will project sev eral feet abotse the water. Upon (he piles will be built platforms capable of sustaining great weight, and Upon the platforms will be set hydraulic Jacks. The Ingenious part of the scheme, however, is not lh this part of the pro posed Works but in the method of plac ing the cables beneath the wrecks. The principal part of the device for running the cables under the sunken ships con sists merely of hollow steel tubes ten inches or more In diameter. These tubes, each section of which -Is-about six feet long,- will serve as a spout through which a Jet 'of wates is to be forced. In the beginning the tubes will m v i? : 1 WRECK OP MAnTE AS IT NOW APPHABS. be only long enough to reach the mud, bottom. Great pumps will force the water through them, driving away the soft deposit. As the water digs into the mud the tubes will be extended by the addition of other sections. These tubes incline at an angle of forty-five degrees, and there will be 184 of them on each side of the ship. Their location must be so nicely calcu lated that when they are forced through the mud they will join at right angles beneath the keel of the sunken vessel. When the tubes from opposite sides meet, the pumps on only one side will be kept working. A wooden sphere slightly smaller than the bore of the tubes will then be foi'ced under the vessel through the connected tubes. To this wooden sphere will be fastened a cord. ' This cord will be used to draw a rope and the rope to draw through a cable. When this is repeated 184 times and the cables are strung under the ship from stem to stern, both ends of the cables will be fastened to the hy draulic jacks. The raising of the- ship then becomes a .simple task, according to Mr. Rich ardson. The Jacks will draw the ca bles taut and thus gradually raise the wreck above the surface of the water. Once above the water the vessel will be buoyed by airtight casks sufficient in number to support if. It can then be towed to a dockyard in this country and repaired. It was with the idea of raising the Maine that the inventor set about to find a method to that end, but now that he believes he has solved the prob lem he Intends to raise all the Spanish war wrecks along the Cuban coast Many expert engineers and wreckage man to whom the scheme has-been submitted believe It is practicable. All that Is now necessary is Uncle Sam'a permission to begin work. The entire expense of the work will be borne by the' inventor, who hopes to be reimbursed by the exhibition and sale of the ships. So confident Is Mr. Richardson in the success of his plan that he fully expects to have one or more of the ships np next summer. So the ill fated Maine nfter her years of repose In Cuban mud may once more gladden the hearts of the patriotic, fnlly restored to her original strength and usefulness. "Harry Up" Larking:.
