Cuba.


The news from Cuba will not fail to affect the
heart of every true American. Cuba is lost for
a time to independence only for time.
The day must come when, by the force Of cir
cumstances, and in spite of the assumed protec-
ton of England and France to that OF Spain
she will form free republic, annexed or not
10 this country, so long as she enjoys that lib
eriy which is her right in common with hu-
maDity.
There are even in this country, men who, un.
der various pretexts, systematically oppose all
progress on the part of neighboring people
There are antiquated old fellows who think, in
clingipg to European ideas and principles, and
siding with the party of organized disorder, to
give themselves Importance, and an aristocratic
odor
There are some who abuse LOPEZ II some
who insult the unfortunate enthusiasts Others
even, who rejoice over their common calamity
These are the men who, had the enterprise sue
ceeded, would have proved that they had had q
hand in bringing abont the great event, and
would have applauded it as the most brilliant Of
modern times
There is no merit, however, but in those who
casting their eyes beyond the ephemeral inter-
ests and passions of the day, see in the devel-
opment of general liberty the accomplishment of
moral victory, in comparison with which other
events sink into insignfcance. The history of
human progress has a thousand phases. The
whole advances by slow degrees, because each
particular event is only won by trial and sacri-
fce Let us not hastily condemn those who
have ventured to aid in the accomplishment of
any Que of them.
Plunder is not the only stimulus to suchIisks.
The chance Of fortune may do much, but
higher feeling aud principle influence men at the
same time.
Neither is it enough TO say, Cuba is not ready
the Cubans did nothing. That only proves the
necessity of an earlier emancipation and better
education. The death of LoPEz will probably
hasten Cuba's Freedom.

~ Will the North try the question whether
free negro of New York, or any other State,
can be driven out of Indiana? We should like
TO see such point agiiated, as it would bring
the question of State rights out in bold relief
among the Northerners themselves.
Would New York, and other States which
treat free blacks as equals, defend the rights Of
their citizens !-if rights they have, according to
Northern notions, over the whole country!
Will not Indiana claim her State RIGHTS and
independent sovereignty And wien she has
done that, and her right maintained, wll
Northern fanatics any longer question Southern
State rights With what face?

Tg- In opening the number for September
of HUNTS Merchants Magazine, we came acci-
dentally upon an article, page $50, headed Sta
tistics of the four Great Powers of Continental
Europe-Russia, Austria, France, Prussia
1t Processes to be translation from the Kolr-
iShe Zeitung. But we do not believe that such
mistake as that we are about to allude to,
would have occurred in that journal.
The entire Russian possessions are set down
at 26225l square miles. Those Of Austria at
12,l58 square miles. Those of Prussia at s, i O4
square miles. France at 9,74s square miles.
Now, if we bear in mind that the most thickly
populated countries of Europe have only from
200 to $50 persons to each square mile, and tina
Russia in Europe has hardly 100, we may form
some idea of the incorrectness of the abov.
statement.
This careessness we did not expect in maya
zine of such repute and ability.

Liverpool papers record the invention by Mr.. II.
Watson, gentleman Of fortune residing in
Manchester, England, Of new method of rig
ging ships, by which the usual method is en-
tirely dispensed with. The principal feature
in bis invention q the introduction of set Of
revolving sails, l6 in number, something similar
to 10 fins of a windmill, which are elevatsd on
wheel, and are attached to sort of spindle. AS
soon as the wind touches these sails, thew in
stanty set in motion the spindle, which acting
upon very simple piece of machinery, propes
couple of paddles The obi icts attained are
greater speed by means of the paddles, and the
advantage OF sailing against head wind This
is great improvement as The sails can be point
ed with ease TO any point of the compass. Head
OF contrary winds are not recognized stiff
breeze is all that is requisite TO propel the vessel
The paddle boxes give the hull the appearance

SCARLET FEvER.--In Braithwaite's RETROSPECT
OF fPractical Medicine and Surgery, Dr. Gardner
has paper respecting the treatment of scarlet
fever with belladona, in which he says that he has
not met with fatal case in treating with it. He
administers the belladona according to the ability
Of the patient, in doses Of a grain to whole
grain every three or four hour, He does not al
low delrium to delay him from giving the medi-
cine The diet he recommends is bread and milk.
Dr. Greene, of Peckham, England, corroborates
this,and says he has used il for ten years
fully. His poses to persons above puberty is
one-sixth of grain in mint-water, every hours;
for inf hts, very minute doses are given, and these
with caution. DIR. Bennett, of Gateshead, states
that s.-er ammonia, mineral acids, and the appIca-
ton Of nitrate of silver had all faiied in treating
malignant scarlet fever, he found that or table
spoonsful of fresh yeast, frequently given, was
quickly eaicacious as an sniiseptic and stimulant.
A BEAUTIFUL Discovery IN THE MarAasmrrr
OF BEES lit has hitherto been regarded ns a well
established fact, that bees require the light TO be
carefully excluded from their habitations The
Rev. l.. l.. Langstroth, of Chestnut street, native
of this city, and gentleman of equal worth and
accomplishment, who has been engaged for many
years the scientific investigation OF their habits
mas most conclusiveiy proved that this not the
case. The various glass observing hives. which
have been used by ingenious naiuralists, have
always been furnished with shutters, to be opened
only when the hives are inspected. Such sud
den admission oflIght exerts disturbing inhu-
ence upon the bees. Mr.. Langslroth has hives of
his own invention, in " hich the bees are exposed
10 The J>H f'gh Of day, That all their beautiful
works are as easily examined ~ the articles ex-
hibited in shop-keepers window. They do not
manifest the slightest dislike to such perfect
flood oflght. ~
It's ovious that this unexpected discovery must
greatly facilitate thorough knowledge Of the ha-
bits of this wonderful insect as the Queen is
almost constantly in sight, and all the mysteries
of the hive are unfoldeo in the most ample manner
TO the lover OF nature. We know that Mr.. Lang
stroth has been repeatedly consulted respecting
the best means OF ventatng public rooms and
we strongly suspect him having stolen some
of his IDEAS from the admirable principles on which
bees yentIlate their hives. We wish he could
persuade the community that their public and prr-
vate buildings ought TO be at least as well ven
tlated the humble dwelling of the bee, aud
thus aid in eflscting revolution, the importance
of which TO the public health cannot be oyerest,-
