As the existing stale Of the relations OF The
) United States ana Spain, on the subject OF
tie Floridas, yetholds US in the expectation
of acquiring those provinces sooner or iatSr,
would not a full history of the early inyasi-
ons and progress Of the Spaniards through
out what they then called Florida, be an &C
ceptable and interesting publication to the
American public at this time The Spani-
ards of those times supposed Florida to be
bounded on the north by Canada. 1t has not
been the lot of the writer of this TO have
ever seen an Erglish translation of the His
tory of the Invasion of Florida by the Spani-
srds, underline command of Ferdinand de
Soto, in 1859, written in Spanish, by Gar
cilasso de la Vega, born in Peru. Of Span
,ish father, but bis mother was of the race Of
the incas, the aboriginal soyereigns Of Peru.
If a translation Of that work has been pub
l;shed in ngland, it's yet pTesumable that
the copies OF j, arc rare in this country
The writer of this has French translation
of that history, published at Leyden, in Hol-
land, in 1891 and, judging from his own
sensations in reading it, he concludes that
81 edition Of il ia our language would not
failto please and astonish, persuaded, as he
is. that but few have any idea of the vast
extent of what is DOW the dominion OF the
Uni>ed States, traversed by the Spanish ar
NY during that expedition, which lasted
more than four years. independent OF the
circumstance that our country was the thea
tire on which the Spaniards chiefly acted, the
history is well calculated to amuse and inte-
rest, not only by the incidents arising out OF
almost perpetual warfare, butby lis variety
of curious matter upon the manners, habits
and genius Of the aborigines with whom the
SpaniarGs came into contact, either IN peace
or war. The authors manner of narration
is insinuaiins, and he must have had very
circpmstantial memoirs to have enabled him
to enter into SO much detail as he Las.
II appears that Soto, who had been in a
high station among the conquerors OF Peru,
and was then Governor of Cuba, sailed from
the HAVANA, and landed on the gulf side OF
the peninsula of East Florida, about the lat
ter part OF May, 1889, with well appoint
ed army OF about loco men, 500 horses.
From thence they marched, by various turns
and windings, land under great difficulties and
dangers, from the nature of the country and
rude encounters from many brave and war
like tribes OF indians. to the Mississippi ri.
yer, called the Chucagaa in the history,
which they must have struck somewhere in
the upper Part of what's now the state oil
Mississippi, or perhaps in Tennessee
crossing the Chucagua, they advanced isI
,nto the westward, where Soto, dying in

CANINE MADNESS,


We mentioned some days since. that
mad dog had been killed in the yicini-
ty of Montreal, after having bitten Sc
veral animals. ihe Montreal Courant
of the 18th instant, states that another
dog, suspected of madness has Just
been killed and as proof that in the
notice SO often taken of this subject,
the editor has not been sporting with
the fears of the public. nor guilty of
exaggsration, he subjoins list of the
damage done tn the river road to La
Chine by single dog; from wblcll
may be seen the very bad consequences
that may result to both human life and
property, from the extension of the ma
lady, and therefore the urgent necessi-
ty of instantly destroying. at the first
symptoms, animals so affected. In this
case, indeed, lie adds. no human life
has been lost; but the happy exemption
being very remarkable, cannnt always
be expected.

This fact, together with the foregoing
account of the havoc made by single

proper officers of this city, to STE that
the dog law is rigid'y enforced. The
dog We are sensible is a faithful, saga,
cious, and often valuable animal, and
at first view, it appears cruel to cxte,.
inmate the race. But We ought not to
let our symparhies for the brute out
weigh our regard for the safety of oul
fellow beings. The life of one human
being. ought not to be jeopardized f.,
all the dogs iii the world. During &
short walk on Saturday evening, We
counted eight dogs at large in the
streets, and without their masters. We
cannot but conceive it criminal to snffel
them to be in the streets at all, during
this season of the year. Even if takeI
out with their masters, they ought t,
be so muzzled rs to prevent the posi-
bility Of there doing injury.

BY the Edcari- Foster, from Malaga, arrived at
Boston on Tuesday last, Spanish advices TO nearly
the end of March have been received.
The Ministr, in Spain bad been entirely
changed, and Cens,hn!ionalisis appointed rs

Courts (excepiIng the one 10 the United
Slsiss) have been recalled and Constitution.
aliss appointed and he officers civil and

exceptions, have been removed, and friends Of
the Constitution chosen IN their places.
The members oil the Cortes Of i2. had re-
ceived orders TO attend general assembly 10
be holden at Madrid as soon as possible.
On the 9th and 10Th March there was
massacre at Cadlz. II appeared, that Gen.
Freyre revisited Cadiz on the 9th, when
the people called for the Cons'i,u.on-tIe
promised il should be proclaimed on the 9th
on which day the inhabitants being assembled
in large public square TO hear it, the troops
of The garrison (who had been joined by
number OF deserters from the lsla) fired upon
them, and killed between 700 aud 500, aud
wounded from 100 to 1900! This, of course,
erealed a>sreal sensation in Spain; but when
The EdSg,4fd. Foster sailed, all was quiet. The
Constitution WAS eventually proclaimed in
Cadz on the 2lsth March, in the evening.
A plot 10 effect a coun,er.revo!ution was
discovered in Madrid on the llth March, and
several persons implicated in il had been ar

We add with pleasure, that the following

their victim from the herd.n
Whether the wolves learned the art Of be-
quilting the antelope, from the Indians, or The
Indians from the wolves, is a question that seems
rather difficult 70 decide. However, there is prac-
tised another stratagem, of which the Indians
appear fairly entitled TO the exclusive honor.
From the same work, namely, Lewis and
Clarke's travels To the source Of the Missouri
river and across the American Continent to the
Pacific Ocean--is taken the following curious
story Of the manner in which the Indians out

of these animals, the ears and horns fastened on
his own head so az to deceive the unsuspect'ng
herd. Thus accoutred. he creeps between them
and one Of the river prcoipices his companions
in the meantime get on the rear and SIDE oil the

The bufsloes take the alarm, and run towards
the decoy; he leads them as fast as possible to
the precipice. and secures himself in some crew
ice which he has marked those at the brink
are driven on by the hindermost, who see no
danger but from the hunters, and the whole are
thus precipitated down in such numbers that,
after the indians have taken as many as they
can dispose of and the wolves glutted themselves,
the air is tainted with the carcases which re-

empire Of man and brute, the most puissant and
most dreaded monarch Is the brown bear. The
Indians were .orely afraid of Bruin, and in
manner did fealty to him. "rheJ never ventur-
ed To attack him but in parties OF six or eight,
and before they went out to give him battle
painted themselves, and performed the same
ceremonies as if they were going to war I; even
with all this advantage of numbers they were
often defeated and obliged 10 retreat with loss"
80 We had rather" says captain Clark, " ena
counter two Indians than r,cet single brown
bear their very track in the mud or sand, which
we have sometimes found eleven inches long
and seven and quarter wide, exclusive Of the
talons, is ALARMING. The wonderful power Of life
which they possess renders them dreadful there
is no chance ofkilling them by single shot nn-
less the ball goes through the BRAIN" Six of the
exploring party attacked one Of the breed; and
even after they had broke his shoulder and sent
eight balls through his lungs. he pursued them
so closely that two of the number very narrowly
escaped with their lives.

The toek's shriu clarion wakes the ruddy morn,
The clouds fly fast and melting into tears
The misis disperse--the lovely May day dawn,
Hail'd by the songsters OF the grove, appears.
The laughing schoolboy trips the now'ry lawn,
To pluck nosegay for his blushng fair;
The sylph-like maiden, lightly as the fawn,
Bounds Ger the dewy lawn with waving hair.
The songsters tune their little voices shril,
As thro' the groves their sweetest notes resound;
While murm'ring softly winds the lmpd rill,
Giving bright verdure to the fields around.
But, 10, the gunner, with his tube of fire,
Steals silent on the warbler's calm retreat;
Loud rings his shot-the redbreast see expire,
Mangled and bleeding at his murd'rer's feet.
Shame that the beauties of this glowing day
Should be devoted to such murd rous deeds;
This day should see the featherd songsters gay,
Sport unsolicited in the now'ry meads-
Those lovely mead,, where thousand How'rets
spring,
Sparkling with lustre, deck'd with dews Of night,
Should on this day with sweetest music ring,
While 'mongst their sweets We revel with de-
light. q.
