Cervera roreeaw tbe End. Admiral Cervera's correspond ence with tbe Queen Regent and ministers of Spain have turned np and they show that the Admin 1 protested against the oonrse ot entering into a war with the Uni ted States, which he foresaw would be the ruin of Spain. The Admiral also claimed that Cuba was lost to Spain practically with or without a war with the United States. After giving bin views by way of warning he invited orders which be stood ready to sacrifice himself in the effort to execute. lint Care to "pain. Messrs. Alexander Sp'Unt & Son yesterday shipped their first cargo of cotton by steamer to a Spanish port. It was the British steamer Naranja, Captain Tinkler, which oleared for Barcelona, Spain, with a oargo of 2,917 bales of cotton. In speaking of the shipment to Spain, Mr. James Sprunt said yesterday evening that his company had re peatedly triad some time before the reee'.t war to eptablish a trade with Spain, but was unsuccessful. Since the war, however, they have not only succeeded in opening up trade with that country, but established an agency in Batcelona, which bids fair to develop into considerable proportions. Wilmington Star, Kaey Divorce In Hiirmab. ' When a Burmese husband and wife deoide to separate, the woman goes out and bnys two little candles of equal length, which are made especially for this use. She brings them home. She and her huiband sit down on the floor, plaoing the candles between them, and light them simultaneously. One candle stands for her, the other for him. The one whose candle goes out first rises and goes out of the bouse for ever, with nothing but what he or she may have on. The one whose candle has survived the longer time, even by a eeoond, takes every thing. So the divorce and division of tbe property, if one can call that a division, are settled. Ex.

A Rog- 7 1-3 x O Feet Another Abont Ibe BlKKMt In Ibe World Celery, Potatoee and ninorcaa. On Thursday wo were apprised tbat Mr. W. A. Smith has some thing worth going to see in tbe way of prosperity in pork and other things. We hied away, and rather than be taken of! onr feet, we secured a sewing machine agent to accompany us and tone down any burst of amazoment into which wo might be betrayed. (There was no lightning rod man available). Well, we wended onr way to the pig sty and were re warded with seeing a hog that measures 7 feet from the tip of the nose to the root of the tail and requires a girth 9 feet long to span him. We saw the 750-pound hog of Mr. Wm. Ltnlz's some 12 or 15 years ago and Mr. Tom Ebinebardt's hog the same year of something over COO, and we will not be surprised if this porker pulls down the beam at 800 pounds. In the same pen is an other that we should think about tbe biggest hog in the world if this first mentioned one wero not right by him. The two will prob ably foot up 1,400 or 1,500 pounds of pork when slaughtered, which will probably be about the middle of December. These hogs came from a good line of hog blood. Tbe larger is a cross of tbe Berkshire and To- land-China and tho other is pure Berkshire. The larger is two and one-half years old and the other 2 years. Mr. Smith says they are very reg ular eaters. A gallon of meal made into a cold water mauli makes both an ample feed. While about tho promises we were shown a very fino lot of cel ery and an immense production of late Irish potatoes, alfo a flock of Minorca chickens, in all of which Mr. Smith takes great pride. As for onr own mind, though, there was a special bent toward hoggishncss, and therein waa our greatest gratification. Mr. Smith says ho has many welcome callers of both sexe3 and all classes to see the froo hog show. It is worth much more than the cost. m Lient. Ernest Fetser Now In tubs. From the Baltimore American we see that Mr. Ernest Fotzer, of Baltimoro, is now in Cuba ia the army service. Mr. I etzer has a number of relatives who will be glad to know of his whereabouts, and also to know that he has sev eral times been promoted. When he first went into the service of the First Maryland regiment he was the second lieutenant. He was afterwards given charge of an ambulance corps, and was several days ago put in charge of tbe hospital corps, numbering ninety nine men. By this time he and his men are in Cuba, having joined a brigade at Athens, Ga. It is the earnest intention oi Mr. Fetzer to make a record for him self while in service, which is evi denced by the appointments he uae received. Boy Break In a Store.

The yenerable Capt. John II Newell, of near Flowe's, died at his home Wednesday at 2 o'clook p. m., after an illness of three days. It was a going ont of the lamp of life, a loosing of the sil ver cord, a breaking of the golden bowl that contains in unity the immortal with the mortal. . Capt. Newell had reached his 82nd year last August. He was the last to represent the family of Newells whose she William Newell, reared them on the spot is here the captain lived and died. It will bo seen that Capt. New ell was 45 years of age at tho be ginning of tbo Confederate war, bat ho commanded a company of rcseryes that wore once called out but did not cot into battle. Capt.
