A MANILA LETTER.

Joe Hofdemui, under date 6f Sept 1, writes from Manila, P. 1., to his sister Rose, of this place, and we are permitted to copy a portion of the letter: “Dear Sister: Your surely most think that I have given up writing home for good, but as I have the opportunity I will write a few tinea. You will probably be surprised to learn that I have been discharged and re-enlisted again, but such is the case. I was discharged Aug. 16, and re-enlisted next day in the rough riders or the 11th U. S. V. Cavalry for two years. I suppose you understand that I enlisted in the 14th Inst only for the war with Spain. I was promised to be made a Sergeant (one notch higher) if I would re-enlist in the “L” Co., 14th Inst, but I chose the cavalry, thinking I would see more active service. I think I will get my fill of it, as great things are expected of the rough riders. The tittle interest yon take in this insurrection with the Philippines, surprises me. It seems to concern those at home very little that we are fighting nearly every day. Perhaps yon are not aware of the feet that 500 American soldiers hare been killed since Feb. sth. Twenty men have been killed in the 14th Inst. and about forty wounded, two have been killed in “L” Co., and five wounded. Both of the men killed in “L” Co., were killed within ten feet of me, on June 13th, just 20 miles south of Manila. I have become so used to having ballets striking the ground all about me or whizzing by my ears, that I don’t mind it any more. There are about 25,000 soldiers here and it will require four times that many to whip the negroes. Everything is rushing in Manila. The stores, hotels, restaurants and saloons are doing a great business. A small glass of beer costs 10 cents. Meeds cost 50 cents and no good meal at that. Eggs are 30 cents per dozen.”

GREENBACKS or Governafcdt Money. At dose of oar Civil War in 1865, there appeared in the London Times the following: “ If that mischievous financial policy which had is origin in the North American Republic daring the late Civil War in that country, should become indurated down to a fixture, then that government will furnish its money without cost. It will have all the money that is necessary to carTy on its trade and commerce. It will become prosperous beyond precedent in the history of civilized nations of the world. The twain and wealth of all countries will go to North America. THAT GOVERNMENT MUST BE DESTROYED OR IT WILL DESTROY EVERY MONARCHY ON THIS GLOBE.” The famous Hazzard circular, to capitalists in New York, and the Buell Bank circular to United States Bankers, both emanating from London, and the fabulous corruption fund raised in England and Germany, estimated at $1,500,000. were the agents that secured the dosing of our mints against silver. The ’‘walk into my parlor” policy of England, during and since the Spanish War, is the latest evidence of English Diplomacy in shaping the destiny of the United States Government. Notwithstanding the famine price | of wheat, the Spanish War, and fabulous expenditures of money by our | government during the past year, gold has increased in value eleven per cent | and all other values decreased in the same proportion. For a thorough understanding of the money question, or sihrer issue, the Cincinnati Enquirer has uniformly given evidence of its ability to teach, explain and produce all facts and truth. It is a paper that ought and can be read by all dasses with pleasure and profit

ALIENS IN AUTHORITY.

Various European Countries Have For* eigners to Rule Them. In nearly all European-countries the prominent positions in. public life are held by persons of foreign extraction. Of course, in countries like Austria, Switzerland, Turkey and Russia, in each of which the intermingling of nations almost amounts to the confusion of nationalities, this is not so surprising. But who would imagine that the highest official posts in the German empire have been, and still are, held by men who are aliens? The last chancellor of the German empire was Count Caprivi de Montecuculli, a Sardinian, many of whose relatives still hold high posts in Italy. Count Bronsart Schellendorff, one time minister of war for Germany, is l the descendant of an old French Huguenot family. Again, neither Moltke, nor even the man of “Blood and Iron,” Bismarck, was a German. Both were bom in Denmark, of Danish parents. Moltke’sdistinguished military career commenced in the Danish army. Subsequently he became a Prussian officer. In Italy we find morethan one minister of French extraction, and no end of high functionaries who are merely naturalized Germans and Austrians. Both Messrs. Brin and Morin, admirals of the fleet, and men who have been in their time minister of marine, are of French origin, and the one has a brother in the French army, the other one in the French navy. Baron Blanc, the former minister for foreign affairs in Italy, is likewise a Frenchman and a Savoyard, too, and hails from the native place of the late President Grevy. Unlike Germany, France takes the majority of her great men from British sources. The late Marshal MacMahon, one time president of the republic, was of Irish descent, and Senator Waddington, formerly French ambassador to the court of St. James, is the son of an Englishman. At least a dozen general officers in the French army are in reality Germans. Prominent among them we find Gens. Muller, Metzinger and Gebhardt. Sweden’s chief foreigner is King Oscar, a descendant of a very humble French shopkeeper.—Pearsons.

THE LYNX.

Ia Row Placed in the Cat Tribe by Naturalists. Until recently, the lynxes were placed: by naturalists in a genus by themselves, but now there is a pretty general agreement that they should go into the genus Felis, or cat tribe, which includes the highest of the carnivora, or flesh-eaters, such as the lion, tiger, leopard, and so on, including the house cat. The lynx is found in all the great divisions of the earth, excepting Australia. Our own country hag three species—the Canada lynx, the wildcat, or red or bay lynx of the eastern states; and the spotted lynx of the far south, reaching to Mexico. Europe, too, has three species—the common lynx of the north', the deer lynx of central Europe, and the leopard lynx of southern Europe, namely, Spain and Portugal. Mivart, the naturalist, who has given much attention to the subject, contends that our three American lynxes, and those of northern and central Europe, the whole five are only varieties of one and the same specie®, and he proposes for them all the one name, Fells borealis, the northern lynx. With one exception, all lynxes are animals of great courage. The deer lynx of central Europe is a little the largest of them all. It measures 40 inches from the base of its tail to thus tip of its nose. It was this fierce lit-; tie animal which entertained the Boroana in the nahnv daw of tbeir

amphitheater, in which i£ would be pitted against savage beasts much its superior in size. These animals feed on birds, rabbits and small creatures generally, though upon occasion they are terrible destroyers of sheep. Their agility and courage under the pressure of hungez would make them, if the chance were offered, more than a match for a deer. I regret that in this matter of courage our own bay lynx, or wildcat, cannot be complimented. At some points of character the wildcat is below par. It is the most cowardly of all its species. It prowls at night near farmhouses, and it will stoop to the roll ol a chicken thief. It will even capture and eat, seasoning and all, the common skunk rather strong meat, surely. There is a similar feline sputtering or caterwauling with the lynxes as with the common cat, though in this matter the wild can be much louder than the domestic. Indeed, the night cry of the wildcat in the forest is truly Tearful. I had a friend tiring in the Catskills, who once had to take a night journey alone for severs! miles in the woods. He was followed by a bay lynx. He told me that it 9 cries.made Ms flesh creep; and yet, though sometimes it was near enough for him to hear the crackling of the underbrush on which it trod, it did not once venture behind him on the open road in the moonlight. In truth, he did not see it once. Its cowardly nature kept it out of harm’s way. It is not known from what stock has come our domestic cat. As cats are found in the mummy' state in the tombs in Egypt, it Is certain that this animal has been domesticated not lees than 3,000 years, though not known so long as that in Europe. That it came from a wild feline is made probable by the fact that it so easily reverts tea wild state. In Cape May county, New Jersey, was a hybrid race of cats, called cooncats, whose fur certainly did indicate such a parentage. Some years ago, two kittens were brought to New Jersey from New Hampshire, which were regarded as great curiosities. An appeal was made to me to unravel the mystery, when, upon right, I pro*; nounced them hybrids with the bn lynx. Their ears even were and had a trace of the tuft; thd fur was peculiar, and the tail was short, and they could not be kept in at night, though they werequite gentle through the day.—Prof. Samuel Lockwood, in N. Y. Ledger.
