The following case has arisen out of the new law striking the word " white" from all laws relating to the Dis trict of Columbia :—" The Rev. J. Sella Martin, pastor of a coloured Presbyterian Society in Washington, obtained not long ago an order for the admission of his daughter to the New Franklin school. The daughter is a blonde, the father being a light mulatto, and the mother so white that no trace of negro blood is noticed in her face. The daughter took the positions assigned her in the classes, and for some time it was not discovered that she belonged to the negro race. Upon the facts coming to the attention of the teacher the girl was refused admission to the classes, and although she attended regularly, instruction was denied her. The father hppealed to the Mayor, and the latter has called upon the Superintendent of Schools to see that the girl is protected, and treated as other scholars, or that new teachers be found. Mr. Martin asserted that there were three other children of the coloured race in daily attend ance at tho school, but the teachers, after diligent search, have failed to discover them."

From Cuba the accounts are conflicting, but the last report was that the Captain-General de florets would take the field in person in the campaign against the insurgents, of whom it is estimated there are nearly 60,000 in arms. It is impossible, however, to ascertain with accuracy the facts, while the general impression is that the insurrection is dying out. The gunboat fleet has already caused no small deg ee of embar rassment, and a very warm discusssion between Spain and the United States. On the receipt of the despatch announcing the embargo, the Minister of Foreign Affairs at Madrid had a stormy inter view wfth General SICKLES, and negotiations since then havebeen chiefly carried on at Washington. At Madrid the tone assumed was more peremptory than by the Spanish Minister at Washington, and it is asserted that Senor BECERRA, some three months ago, gave General SICKLES to understand that the detention of these gunboats, or the recognition of belligerent rights to the Cubans, would be accepted by Spain as a casus belli. At that time the United States were but ill-prepared for a naval war, even with Spain, and it is given as Admiral PORTER'S opinion that the Republic could not then have raised a Spanish blockade of New York, or made any naval demonstration of weight. Hence the activity in the navy yards of the United States, so often re ported by us. The cool temperament of General GRANT characterised, in a marked degree, the treat ment of the question by the Administration. Doubtless Spain at the time assumed a haughty, almost a menacing attitude, of which Washington took the same calm,quiet notice that aNewfoundlaud does of a very angry little dog ; but men were set to work during the night as well as during the day in the yards, and the result may be seen by those who glance at the summary we give of the Report to , Congress of the Secretary of the Navy. The PRE SIDENT was aware of the necessity at such a junc ture, of being strong at sea, the more so as after Congress hail assembled, he might not be able to control the ForLign relations of the coun try, and offence may be given which, if Spain is in the same mind as be!'olee might lead to a rupture, for which it is his business to be prepared. Considering the great publicity every thing is apt to get in the United States, it is creditable to the Ad ministration to have thus rapidly and quietly armed. There neither is nor has been any bluster or menace, yet at this moment Great Britain alone is stronger at sea than the United States. The tone of Con gress may be predicted, and receives some illustra tion in the presentation by Senator CA3IERON of a petition signed by 30,000 Philadelphians to recog nise not only the belligerents rights, but the inde pendence of Cuba. These signatures, it must be . recollected, are those of the " Quaker City," and if recognition of belligerent rights may mean war, recognition of Cuban independence must mean war. Senator MORTON, and many leaders in both Houses, would go much further than the PRESIDENT de sires to move, and it is brought as a charge against Secretary Frsu that he is a drag on a thorough American policy ou this question. Consul-General PLUMB has been removed from Havannah by the Secretary, and this tends to puzzle politicians in Washington, as he supported the moderate views of Mr. Fig'. At the Junta the Cubans greeted with loud applause the announcement of Mr. PLUMB'S removal; and Mr. HALL'S appointment as his suc cessor was received with as evident satisfaction. The latter gentleman will proceed from Matanzas; but with the letter of recall to Consul-General Plano went another awarding to him the highest praise for the administration of his office during his difficult term. By the death of General RAWLINGS Cuba lost its most earnest friend ; and a Washing ton correspondent of the Tribinie asserts that a pro clamation, recognizing its belligerent rights, having been drawn up, Secretary RAWLINGS so pressed the PRESIDENT that the form was filled in, and he then sought to secure a promise from GRANT that it would be issued as soon as possible. Still it would appear from the telegram of last Thursday that the Government yet pursues its policy of conciliation. Among the reasons given for the detention of the gunboats is this, that Peru is a foreign State with which the United States are at peace; and should these vessels be released and go to Cuba, larger vessels there in service would be relieved, and could go out toPeruvianwaters for war purposes, which would be virtually the same action as if they were to sail directly from New York for the coasts or waters of Peru. Not only does the PRESIDENT hold that opinion, but the Cabinet is unanimous in thinking that the boats ought to be seized and kept at all hazards. It was, too, in view of such an emergency that the American fleet had been so strengthened in Cuban waters, and we can only conclude that the law is shown to be against the Cabinet, that the insurrection has really died out, or that Cuban independence will k gained by nego tiation. At any rate, the proposal to surrender the gunboats to Spain has been made while Congress was sitting, and, although we cannot otherwise account for the turn the affair has taken, it is evident that things have considerably changed since the departure of the last mail, which left a Spanish squadron gathering near New York, and the de spatch of ironclads from Fortress Monroe to Long Island. The feeling of America towards Cuba is well expressed in the PRESIDENT'S Message, and it is possible that it foreshadows the negotiations by which the United States may induce Spain to with draw from her dependency in American waters. " When the present relations," he says, “of these colonies with European Powers cease, they are to be come independent Powers, determining their future conditions and relations with other Powers. The United States, in order to put a stop to bloodshed in Cuba, and in the interests of a neighbouring people, proposed their good offices to restore peace. The offer not having been accepted by Spain on a basis which alone could be received by Cuba it was withdrawn, but he hopes the good offices of the United States may yet prove advantageous for a settlement of this unhappy strife." We would judge from this that the PRESIDENT has reason to believe that the negotiations first opened at Madrid by Gen. SICKLES will be renewed, and that Spain will retire from the island on some such terms as then proposed. This would account for the tele gram of Thursday, and probably it will be found the true solution of the Cuban question. RAILWAY NEWS. —A. special despatch from Che yenne reports the completion of 51 miles of the Denver , Pacific Railroad. Tho track is advancing at the rate of ono and a half miles per day. Tho price which the Cen tral Pacific Railroad pays the Union Pacific for the fifty miles of track between Ogde,n and Promontory is $3,000,000, half in United States Bonds and half iu those of the Cen tral Pacific, or double the Government subsidy. The Union Pacific asked $5,000,000. By the new arrangement the cars will soon be brought into the Salt Lake Valley, where proper accommodations can be had for both pas sengers and freight. The ejectment suit in which John S. Oakley and Haskell and Co., bankers, of St. Louis, and Thomas M. Walker, of Pennsylvania, were plaintiffs, and the Terre Haute, Alton, and St. Louis Railway Company the defendants, to recover possession of the coal mines on the above road, has resulted in favour of the plaintiffs. An enormous saving will be effected in plain, fancy, and commercial stationery, by dealing with the manufacturers Perkins and Gotto, who receive the papers direct from the mill, and cut, press, and finish it upon the premises, employing up wards of 150 hands.

Under date Bth September, 1899, Mr. Belt writes :—" I have been ill nearly ever since last mail. Our cows had got to a trough at the assay office in which mercury was occasionally washed. They had imbibed a quantity of mercury, and the milk contained it. lam fond of milk, and when I took ill the doctor ordered me as much as I could take. It culminated in severe salivation. As soon as we found out the cause, and stopped the supplies of the poison, I commenced to amend, and now, although still very weak, I am rapidly recovering, and am quite able to go about my usual duties." Under date 7th September, 1869, Dr. Simpson writes :—" I regret to report that Mr. Bolt has suffered from a severe attack of mercurial poi soning, but is now much better, although he has still to recover from the debility consequent on such an illness. Ho had not been well for some weeks, but became worse on the 16th ult., and two days afterwards was pro fusely salivated. The cows that supplied Mr. Eelt's house with milk had been in the habit of drinking daily out of two troughs used in retorting, both of which contained considerable quantities of quicksilver, both pure and sodia mixed. The cows were out of condition, had not given much milk of late, and when examined their gums were found swollen. An analysis of their milk set any doubts that might have remained at rest, as distinct traces of mercury were obtained by several tests. Mr. Belt had at all times drank freely of the milk, and unfortunately after first feeling unwell it had bees his principal article of diet. The youngest child, the other chief consumer, was likewise afflicted, but in a much less degree." Under date 6th October, Mr. Belt writes : ":We are all now in capital health. I have quite recovered from the mercury poison. One of the cows, and the calf of the other, died from the effects of it. I believe I had rather a narrow escape myself." Land and Water observes that we may deduce two lessons from this : firstly, that it is possible to introduce mercury into the human system, in where its administration is called for, in the form of milk, a very much mere "elegant formula" than blue pill mercurial ointment. We hope this hint will not be thrown away by medical Men, as occasions may occur where the administra tion of mercury in this manner may be found most service able. The second sson lesson is to ladies who have the management of household affairs; it warns them to inquire into the origin cf the milk which is served at the door by the London milkman, for if the animal from which this milk is derived be not in a healthy state, then farailioa may suffer, while the parents may possibly all the time be administering the cause of the suffering in the form of milk. In times, especially, when the foot and mouth disease still prevails, the question assumes considerable importance V RIIPTURES.-BY ROYAL LETTERS PATENT.

Chancellor James's Court an application was made for the transfer of a plaint from the Bristol County Court. The subject matter of the plaint exceeded £5OO, the limit fixed by the Act, and the principal defen dants lived at Bournemouth, the others living at Plymouth and Chew Stoke. It was submitted that if the matter were tried in the County Court, the defendants would have no means of interrogating the plaintiff. The appli cation was opposed. The Vice-Chancellor said the object of the Act was to bring home justice to the doors of de fendants as well as of plaintiffs, and there would be an order for a transfer to that court. A LIBEL ON A GAnnr.Nnn.—A curious libel case has been heard in the Shciiff's Court. A gardener, name 1 Barnes, who had been in the service of Lord and Lady Rolle for nearly thirty years, left the service on account of ill-health. He complained that Lady Rolle had written a libel against him in two letters which she wrote after the plaintiff left, in which she spoke of the neglected state of her garden, greenhouse, Sze., through the plaintiff's negligence. Witnesses attended from Bicton, Devonshire, Lord Rolle's estate, and the plaintiff himself was exa mined. Her ladyship allowed judgment to go by default, and the jury gave a verdict for £lOO, the full amount claimed. MONEY LENDERS AND COMPROMISES.—Two summonses againzt !limey lenders for fraud have been applied for at Marlborough Police-court, on behalf of a young man who is entitled to a reversionary property in rents, of £14,000, who had borrowed money before he came of age, giving deeds for it. After coming of age, he borrowed more money, and a deed was put before him, purporting to include all the amounts borrowed, and to render the other deeds void. He signed it without reading it, and only became aware that both deeds were still in force, by proceedings in equity being taken against him. Mr. Knox, after putting a few questions, asked the counsel if it were really a /kind f ide proceeding, as four-fifths of such cases were compromised or with drawn, The young man referred to, being in court, was called forward, and decl;.red his intention to go on with the proceedings. The summonses were accordingly granted. HEAVY DAMAGES AGAINST A RAILWAY COMPANY. A the Manchester Winter Assizes a Congregationalist minister, residing at Tintwistle, obtained a verdict for 2,000 as compensation for injuries received on the London and North-Western Railway, in a collision which took place near Leeds in 1867. Paralysis ensued from the accident, and he had to resign his charge and a salary of £3OO a year, which ho received from the British and Foreign Bible Society. FIRING RicKs.—At the Salisbury Assizes, two cases of rick burning have been tried. In one, the criminal had applied for relief to the guardians, and being refused, said he would do something for his bread, and afterwards fired the rick. He was sentenced to six years' penal servitude. The other man was believed to be of unsound mind, and his conduct being very strange in the dock, he was ordered to be detained during her Majesty's pleasure. Upon hearing the sentence ho asked to be sent to the asylum at once. ATTEMPTING TO UPSET A TRAIN.—A well-dressed man, named Mangles, was charged at Richmond, Yorkshire, with attempting to upset a passenger train by placing a sleeper on the lines. The prisoner, after putting the sleeper on the lines, himself went by the train. The engine knocked the sleeper out of the way, and no shock was felt, but the prisoner when he got out said they had run over something. He told an old woman in the after noon that it might be the last time he should see her. He was committed for trial. A. BAD DAY FOIL GAILOTTERS.—On Saturday afternoon the men convicted a few days ago at Leeds, before Mr. Justice Lush, of robberies with violence at Leeds, Sheffield, Bradford, and Whitkirk (a rural dis trict near Leeds), underwent the punishment of twenty four lashes each with the cat-o'-nine-tails in the borough gaol of Leeds. _ 'ISIT OF HER MAJESTY TO AN AGED WIDOW. —lt having been intimated to her Majesty, through the medium of that well-known agriculturist, Mr. Headington, of Ragstone Farm, that a Mrs. Plumridge, the widow of an agricultural labourer, living on a small income derived from the savings of her late husband and herself as agri cultural servants, at Touch-en-cnd, in the parish of Bray, Berks, and who is at the advanced age of 101 years, had repeatedly expressed a desire to see her Majesty, the Queen, in the most considerate manner, gratified the wishes of the old lady on Wednesday. Her Majesty, accompanied by Princess Beatrice, and attended by the Hon, Caroline Cavendish, drove to Ragstone Farm, when Mr. Headington had the honour of shewing her Majesty the way to Widow Plumridge's cottage. It is needless to say how much the old lady felt honoured by the visit, and at the kind way in which her Majesty and the Princess conversed with her. THE DEATH OF A MARTYR TO CIRCUMSTANCE.— Mr. W. H. Barber, whose romantic story in connection with the great will forgeries of Fletcher and his confede rates, was once familiar enough to the public, died on Sunday of heart disease, in his sixty-first year. The Fletcher frauds were accomplished by means of forged documents dealing with unclaimed dividends in the Bank of England—the confederates being used by him chiefly to personate legatees and witnesses to pretended sig natures. Mr. Barber, who was employed by Fletcher in the customary way to prove the forged wills and transact other business in connection with them, was convicted in 1844 at the Old Bailey as an accomplice; but was subse quently proved, both by the separate and independent confessions of Fletcher and all his accomplices, and by numerous collateral evidences, to have acted in the business with Lone fides. Barber's case is ably set forth in a volume from the pen of Mr. E. H. Thomas, on the judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench, on Mr. Barber's application for his certificate ; but the romance of Mr. Barber's life must be sought in the picturesque and touching narrative of his sufferings which, under the title of " Transported for Life," was published by him in Mr. Dickens's Household Words in July and August 1802. A pamphlet on the Barber case, entitled " The Royal Pardon Vindicated," was also pub lished by the late Sir George Stephen. The case of Mr Barber would be memorable, if for no other reason, as the first example of an innocent man obtaining compen sation from the nation for a wrongful conviction before a criminal tribunal. £5,000 were voted to him by Parlia ment in 1859 on the recommendation of Lord Derby's Government; but unhappily, except we believe in the solitary instance of Mr. Bowicke l the promckat .i h4liet been followed.-naiily Fan ~ ~~ y I . t I s
