(Mrs. Evelyn Townsend Wilson).
Died March 21, 1SSS.
Sweet-faced lady hast thou gone?
Gone beyond this vale of tears?
Quickly thou hast glory won
Ended are thy earthly fears.
Silenced now, thy pleasant tones
Missed, thy charming happy ways.
Loved wert thou in many homes
Loyal, faithful, true always.
Thou like Ruth as told of old
Cheered Naomi's shadowed life
And 'mid trials manifold
Proved the constant, loving wife.
Ah! farewell! earth closes o'er thee
Friend of past bright, happy days,
We who knew thee always loved thee
And we name thee, now, with praise.

WHITELY EXERCISER. In order to keep up a heal t hy
circulation it is not necessary to strain the muscles as is done m
heavy gymnastics. The exercises necessary for harmonious develop
ment of the muscular system also call into action and develop the In
ternal organs and other structures; hence the rapid and permanent
cure of digestive troubles. The WHITELY EXERCISER will produce
health and strength; it is simple, inexpensive and the only practical
form of athletics for busy people.

Dear Sir: The Secretary Disc Plow I pur
chased from you is giving us satisfaction. We
are using it to plow under a crop of lupins. They
are three feet high and very thick. Your plow
turns them completely under, at the same time
plowing the land fourteen inches deep.
I feel satisfied that with this plow the draft
for the same quantity and depth of work is as
6 to 8. That is, with the old plow, to do the same
work, it takes 8 good mules; with your plow it
takes only 6, and they are less tired at night.
Please send me another plow by first schooner
leaving for this.
You are at liberty to use this in any way you
may see fit. Yours truly,
A. L1DGATE.

On April 23d the Governor General
of the Philippines issued a proclama
tion, prophesying disaster to the Am
ericans and victory to Spain in the
struggle. The extraordinary document,
abounding in fustian, characterizes the
sending of the American fleets against
the Spanish forces as "vain designs,
ridiculous boastings." The proclama
tion in full is as follows:
"Spaniards.
"Between Spain and the United
States of North America hostilities
have broken out. f
"The moment has arrived to prove
to the world that we possess the spirit
to conquer those who, pretending to be
loyal friends, take advantage of our
misfortunes and abuse our hospitality,
using means which civilized nations
count unworthy and disreputable.
"The North American people, con
stituted of all the socialexcresences,
have exhausted our patience and pro
voked war with their perfidious ma
chinations, with their acts of treach
ery, with their outrages against the
laws of nations and international con
ventions. "The struggle will be short and de
cisive. The God of Victories will give
us one as brilliant and complete as the
righteousness and justice of our cause
demand. Spain, which counts upon
the sympathies of all the nations, will
emerge triumphantly from this new
test, humiliating and blasting the ad
venturers from those States that, with
out cohesion and without a history,
offer to humanity only infamous tradi
tions and the ungrateful spectacle of
Chambers in which appear united in
solence aud defamation, cowardice and
cynicism.
"A squadron manned by foreigners,
possessing neither instruction nor
discipline, is preparing to come to this
archipelago with the ruffianly inten
tion of robbing us of all that means
life, honor, and liberty. Pretending
to be inspired by a courage of which
they are incapable, the North Ameri
can seamen undertake as an enter
prise capable of realization the sub
stitution of Protestantism for the
Catholic religion you profess, to treat
you as tribes refractory to civilization,
to take possession oi your ncues
if they were unacquainted with the
rights of property, and to 'kidnap those
persons whom they consider useful to
man their ships or to be exploited in
agricultural or industrial labor.
"Vain designs! Ridiculous boast
ngs! "Your indomitable bravery will
suffice to frustrate the attempt to carry
them into realization. You will not
allow the faith you profess to be made
a mock of impious hands to be placed
on the temple of the true Cod, tne
images you adore to be thrown down
by unbelief. The aggressors shall not
profane the tombs of your fathers,
they shall not gratify their lustmi
nassions at the cost of your wives and
daughters' honor, or appropriate the
nronertv that your industry has ac
- - ... -
simulated as a provision tor your oia
age. No, they shall not perpetrate
any of the crimes Inspired by their
wickedness and covetousness, because
your valor and patriotism will suffice
tr nnnish and abase tne people tnat,
be civilized and cultivated,
have exterminated the natives of North
America instead of bringing to tnem
t-ho. nfp rf civilization and of progress
"Philininos. prepare for the struggle
and, united under the glorious Span
ish flag, which is ever covered with
laurels, let us fight with the convic
tion that victory will crown our efforts
and to the calls of our enemies let us
oppose with the decision of the Christ
ian and the patriot the cry of "Viva
Espana."
"Manila, 23d April, 1S9S.
"Your General.
"BASILIC- AUGUSTIN D AVI LA."
Another proclamation of the same
fintP declares that any one ottering as
Hktnnpf? directly or indirectly to the
pnpmv shall be. summarily tried by
Court Martial as a traitor and be pun
ished with death, and that those, who
propose the submission of any place
besieged by the enemy or spread re
ports calculated to discourage the de
fenders shall also be dealt with as
traitors and punished with death or
penal servitude for life.
A third proclamation declares mar
tial law and" requires all able bodied
Spaniards to enroll themselves for
military service.
