CUBAN DIFFIcULTIEs.-Th course of the
Spanish authorities in Cuba towards the Uni
ted States seems dictated by spirit of blind
malignity that may need severe correction,
and will receive it, If the parental government
does not make ready disavowals and restitu
ton of the loss by the Crescent City. The
Governor General seems to bo passionate
and irrita bic man, whose zeal to maintain his
own aut, ority and that of Spain has BETRAYED
him into course that may sacrifice both. =
We have little doubt however that Snain viii
promptly disavow the acts of Caneda, and
make prompt restitution. The issue of n wa,

pret to its disadvantage. Further, iudped
even by despotic eyes, the acts of the Cuban
authorities were Outragcs, without the excuse
OF any adequate provocation. Further, still
no other power will have a ris s1t to interfer,
beyond an offer Of mediation, to preserve the
integrity of Spanish territory, as Spain has
violated not only the precepts Of Puifendorf Or
ICirotius, but also specific treaties. With the
burden of this upon her conscience, without
active sympathy anywhere on earth, with
Exposed possessions of vast value, and an an
tagonist as much to feared as hated, what can
1Spain do but gracefully accede to demands
tor restitution! We therefore do not antic-

But the course of the Spanish authorities
in reference to the Crescent city will tend to a
result which we shall see with satisfaction

OZ- 1t is estimated that 10000 men will
resort to Grass Valley this winter from the
rivers, for winter diggings, as, for 10 miles
around this village, every bushel of dirt is
worth as much as bushel of corn in Ohio,
and every man should have an equal right to
work, and this right right must be secured to
'him Ly iaW.
The Californian says the above is from
" respectable merchant in Grass Valley

town, Steep Hollow, &C., &c. On that cal
Iculation, Grass Valley may have a popula'
ltion of 10000 people. A bushel of corn is
worth about 25 cents in Ohio. If the "re-
spectacle merchant" has discovered that to
be the value of every bushel of dirt within
ten miles of the Beatty House, the intelli-
genec will be gratifying to his neighbors,
! when he proves it. Grass Valley is a thriv-
ling place, and needs no such absurd pufiery
aas that we quote; and if we mistake not, it
will bring blush to the merchants and peo-
! pie of that place to be SO extravagantly

NEW MAGAzINEs.-We have received
from Muford & Searls the November Nos.
of Harper and Graham. The fame Of the
former is too extensive to need editorial no.
tice, and the announcement that it is for sale
is sufficient. One hundred thousand copies
of each number are regularly printed, in the
United States, besides extensive reprints in
Europe. The present number is filed with
interesting matter, and fine illustrations.
Graham has lost much of the insipiiity
that characterized its carly existence, and
now models more after Chambers and Har-
per's Magazines, giving food for the million
rather than sickly love tales. We observe a
fine selection, with illustrations, from Punch
in the No. before us. which in itself is worth

SABBATH EVENING AT HOME.

When Sabbath bells have ceased their sound
And the hours of day are past,
And twilight draws it's curtain round,
And shadows gather fast,
There is one spot and one alone,
Round which our hearts must cling
And fondcst memories, one by one,
Their choicest treasures bring
That spot is home, its sacred walls
Admit no discord then;
Nor crowded marts nor festive halls,
Nor gayest haunts Of men,
Cannot joy impart so pure
None such 10 them is given;
Might joys like these for aye endure,
This earth were quite heaven.
I've wandered far 'mong other bowers
Than those my childhood knew,
With hope of gathering fairer fowers
Than in those gardens grew;
Yet in the cold worlds earnest lhrongs-
Mid its din and stormy strife
Affection turns TO scenes and songs
Ofyoung and joyous life.
Homes well loved group! Its Sabbath song,
Its lures seem to hear;
Though borne full many league along,
They come distinct and clear,
o Sabbath night! o treasured home!
The pride ofmemory's train
The thoughts OF ye, where'er | roam
Shall bling my steps again.

mounted on racer, and followed by jockey,
when he was overlaken by the ram; Il common
accident under the amiabe British climate, but
against which he found himself entirely unpro-

his master the supplementary ovcr-coat that ne
usually carried carefully folded attached to his

broad and long jacket of coarse cloth which
enveloped him comfortably from his chin to the

stopping his horse, "will you go into this shop
and drink to my health till the shower is overT
"With pleasure" replied the sailor.
"Well, then, take off your jacket, and sell it

PHYSIOLOGICAL FACTS. The following physo-
logical facts were translated from French Scen'
titic Journal:
"The average height of man and woman at
birth, is generally sixteen inches. In each of
the twelve years after birth, one-twclfth is added
to the stature each year. Between the age Of
twelve and twenty the growth of the body IS
slower and it is still further diminished after this
up to twenty-five the period Of maximum growth
In old age the height of the body diminishes
on the average about three inches. The height
of woman varies less than that of man, in
different countries. Tile average weight Of a
male infant is about seven pounds; Of female,
about six and half pounds. The weig ghs of an
infant decreases few days after its birth, till it
is week old. At the end of the first year,
the child is three times as heavy as when it is
born. At the age Of seven years, it is twice as
heavy rs when a year DID,
