CARROIN BIRDS IN CUBA. Hideous Turkey Buzzards That are Allies of the Array. A feature of campaigning in Cuba trhich has inspired the soldier from the North with horror and difgust is the pre sence of the huge turkey buf 7Ards on the battlefield. This.

The bill is long and 1 slender, with a pwwrful curved tip for tearing flesh Carrion is the iood of the tur ey buzzard, though it will eat fresh meat, and, when in force, will evn kill small auimals or birds. But American soldiers L Caba, with their dead lying in J the thick underbrush, know too well what tfce approacn 01 tntsej - 1 vultures mea is, and for them the nauseoias b rds form the cftiet horror of the war t. in a i.uer tu a tnena 10 tins city, written after the fighting at Baiqulri, one of the Koogh Rider, of watcLio, the bu.rf. co-e and shootiaz at them as they settled down to their faast. One ot His company, he acias, who fourht as bravely as the rest during the battle, went into a hysterical fit at the approach of one of the birds, and cowered awav Irom it. crvinir lite a child. Other instances of the soldkrs shooting at the bszzards aud killing and driving them aray have been related. Yet thre is much to be said on the side of ths carrion birds They arc our best allies, and .s soon as the battle is over their work of sanitation begins. lna that hot climate death lurks in the dead aud reaches forth for the living. Close behind death in battle waits death by pestilence, ready to claim more victims than shot and shell. It is here that the vultures perform their part, terrible to think of, but very necessary to the army's weal After the buttle friend or foe lie dead together iu the all but im penatrable chaparral. What the burial parties cannot find in that tangled underwood, the instinct of the vnltore discovers. Far away in the sky distance a black spot appears, grows larger, and alls along on motionless wings until presently it settle down to the earth. Others follow, gath ering from all parts of the com pass. They settle in little bands of six or eight or even a dozen, and when they have risen, in stead of the intolerable and hor rible residue of humanity which lie in the brush, a menace of pestilence, there remains only a skeleton to whiten in the sun and rain. All through the south the worth of the turkey buzzard as a scavenger is well understood. Laws are in force protecting these birds, and any one shooting them . or wantonly disturbing them is fined. In the smaller towns they arc the streat cleaning dedartment, aud even in cities like Charleston they stalk about the streets unmolested, and ut tering their harsh, hissing note, New Jersey is as far North as they get on the Atlautie coast, "mt the Southern States teem with them, and in Cuba they have multiplied rapidly in the last two years. Hideous and foul as they and their ways are, the Northern soldier who shoots unwittingly couinvits an offense against the whole army of in vasion, tor if there were no tut key Duzzarus in uoa many a gooi American who will return home to tell of his part in the war would leave his bones for testimonial to a more deadly foe than the Spanish. Chicago Ins ter Ocean. The Rev. W. B. Costley, of Stockbridge, Ga., while attend ing: to his pastoral duties at Ellenwood, that state, was at tacked by cholera morbus. He says : "By chance I hrppened to get hold of a bottle of Chamber lain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy, and I think it was the means of saving my life. It lelieved me at once." For sale by W.

The late Paymaster Clark of tire United States Navy, of Del aware, was attached to one of the ships on the European sta lion during the period of the civil war. It may have been the Kearsage' but it is not im portant. She was an armed vessel and had been long at ea and came in for coal, provisions and to give the men a liberty day onahore. To meet these and other expenses it was nec essary to have some 8,000 (men are paid in the currency of the country they may be in when on foreign stations), and Paymaster Clark drew sight drafts on the sub-treasury of New York through the govern ment agents, J. S. Morgan & Co.. bankers, in old Broad street London. Accompanied by the Vice Consul he went to the Plymouth branch of the Bank of England, tnd present ing.his drafts' asked to have them chan ged for notes and gold. The bank manager, not content o ' with exercising proper com mernal scrutiny, was verv nas tv and finally said: "Well' I do not know the subtreasurv. I do not know the paper nor you, and I have nev er had business with the gen tleman who is United States Vice Consul here, so I won cash your drafts. You say T. S. Morgan will indorse them You had better so ud and let O A him cash tbem." Mr. Clark went out to thetel eonnh office, out himself m ts r ' x a communication with Mr. Mor pan. and Mr. Morgan went to the Bank of England in Lon don. the manager sent word to the manager of the Plyuouth branch, and that gentleman came personally to the Roya Hotel and, with his hat in hand begged to be of service to Pay master Clark in any way tha gentleman would suggest The apparrently placated pays master' accomDanied by his clerk, accompanied the bank officer to the bank. The drafts were duly passed over and large bundle of Bank of Eng land notes placed before the A. paymaster. "What are these?"said Clark "Those are Bank of England notes." "Yes.
