We are not in the habit Of applying party
tosts to public measures, and have never noted
the fact stated above. That the freedom of
Cuba should constitute basis Of strife between
the two great political parties of this country
will be q cause Of regret to many Of both par
ties, who are disposed to regard the measure

The boundary Commission.

Private letters recently received from Colo
mel Graham, Of the Corps Of Typographical
Engineers, give information Of himself and
party being en- route from San Antonio to Ell
Paso del Norte. where it is expected be will
arrive in few days, to join the United States
Boundary Commission. as principal astronomer
and head of the Scientific Corps
The Government train which Colonel Gra-
ham accompanies to El Paso being the FIRST
and only opportunity he has had ofljoining the
Commission since he was assigned toit he has
availed himself of the time thus afforded him
to provide complete outfit of excellent astro-
nomical and surveying instruments necessary
for that service.
We may therefore expect that, with the as
sissance of the Typographical officers and Civil
Engineers who accompany him, the country
will be furnished with scientific results such as
have given to Col Graham an enviable repu-
tation on the several expeditions which he has
heretofore conducted.

Wealth of Cities.

F Tho property Of Philadelphia is rated at
$I37,0 100000; of Boston at $2l4,00c 900
of New York, at $2s6.0oo, 900. Dividing the
properly bythe population, says an exchange
paper, each p Philadelphian is worth $333, each
New Y Yorker 1886, and each Bostoniafi over
81 500, making Boston the richest city proper
tionably IN the United States, and probably in
the woEld. We doubt whether the opulence|
of Boston, great as it IS known TO be, is not
exceeded by that of New Bedford. We are!
not in possession Of the data necessary for
making a comparison. but the vast afHuencel
Of the town is kuownto to all eastern people -
And then the wealth of New Bedford is of'its
own creation. IA lurge portion Of il is the
product of the eterprise and energy of its cit
izens employed in The whale fishery. The
following paragraph relating TO the town, is
copied from the Washington Republic: "
The New Bedford Mercury states that dur
ing the past year sixty-eight ships have been
added to the Whaling feet belonging to that
port. This remarkable fact indicates a degree
of prosperity and enterprise as gratifying as it
is surprising. It shows the fruits of an unre-.
stricted commerce, and the results of protect
i've measures. The town Of New Bedford, sit
uated on a rocky. promontory, without any in
land advantages whatever, and surrounded
by a barren soil. by the intelligent enterprise
of its inhabitants is rapidly becoming com
mercial city Of the first class. Its growth is
a marvel; and ii already numbers among its
citizens some of the wealtbiest merchants in
the country. This out Of the way town has,
for many years, supplied the north Of Europe
with oil; and it is remarkable fact that both
France and England are indebted I'd New
Bedford merchants for establishing tie whale
fishery in London and Havre. Henry Grin
nell, by whose muni6cence the expedition was
sent out from New York in search Of Sir John
Franklin, is New Bedford merchant. We
observe, that among the articles in the great
exhibition of which favorable mention is made,
are muslins from the New Bedford mills,
This enterprising and thrifty town is one Of the
most beautiful in New England; the county
road, where its merchants have. built their
princely residences, at the back of the town, is
one Of the most elegant streets that any town,
of the Union can boast OF.

American DaguerreotHnes.

The London Morning Chronicle, in noticing
the artistieal department. Of the great exhibit
ton in London, makes the following remarks
runs a range of daguerreotypes,
and throughout the compartments there are
several cases Of specimens, forming, we think.
the best portion Of the American Exhibition.
Everybody who has walked in the streets of
Paris knows how superior che French daguer-
reotypes are to ours; how much sharper and
clearer in outline, and how much deeper in
shades and tints. The Yankee pictures, how
ever, beat the Partisan. as the Partisan do the
English. The climate probably, makes all
the difference; the atmosphere Of Paris is a
different thing from that of London-and the
still superior purity of the air. and the still
brighter play of the sun,-across the Atlantic
are demonstrated in the still richer tones Of
the plates aud the facility with which they
can be viewed in any light The display Of
American daguerreotypes is well worth visit
ing. As the Chronicle publishes all its des-
criptions of the Fair inthree languages Eng
lish, French and German-the superiority Of
American Daguerreotypes will become pretty
well known to the European world 5.
