OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES United States, etc.
Advces from Cuba by the Crescent City arrived
lately at New York, give accounts Of defeated
spiracy for the overthrow Of the Spanish Govern
ment on the Island. The Isl of September the an
niversary of the execution Of Lopez was fixed upon
as the day of rising, when the government discover
ed the conspiracy and promptly suppressed it.
Letters brought over by refugee passengers i'll the
Crescent City, affirm that secret Commissioner has
been appointed to solicit the cooperation of England
and France in vigorous for the fence of Gu
ba. from any attempts made upon it from the United
States In this negotiation fails then treaty is
be entered into with Sououque, the niger Emperor
of Hayti, to surrender Cuba to the niggers-
the Spanish navy to transport the army of the black
Emperor to Cuba, when the negro slavery on the IS
land will be emancipated, and Cuba will be given
up to them, condition of certain yearly tribute
to be paid to the Spanish Government which would
rather that the Island should fall into the hands
the negroes, than that the Creoles or the United
States should possess it. We do not know what t,
make of the runor, but give it for what it is worth
| The more we think of it, the more we arr
convinced that the rumored intention of Spain Il
cede Cuba to the blacks of Hayti is hoax, or al
idle threat. Cuba is the back-bon of the Spanish
finances, and pride and interest alike forbid its ces
sion to such despicahle affair as Havti.

r,ssfe~ness W. ysesigna tIon.--Eery Instructive.
We can hardly pick up Wing paper, without
not;c;ng s;ons o that excessive and vindctire bit
terness which ndicatesthe irriabiliy arising from
the consciousness of approaching defeat ana the
desperation Of d hopeless cause. The Washington
Republic is as waspish as though it were nest OF
the insects. and as unwilling to withdraw SANDER
or do an act of justice, man would De 10 auiis
that his last dollar was counterfeit coin Perhaps
the thing is natural but it is ridiculous Wewonld
advise our friends of the Wing press to bear up like
soldiers and die like men. 1t is true, the minor
drama of the Wing press must follow their lead
ers but they should request those leaders not to
lead them into temptation but get them out of
the scrape as easily as they can. Patience and re-
signation are great things. Yea, verify ana they
are held in especial regard by the followers OF the
prophet, who let slip opportunity OF impressing
their Importance upon the attention OF their TOUR
footed fellow citizens, down unto the dogs, whom
they hold in peculiar contempt as unclean beasts,
and Astounding in neas.
Illustrative of this trait of Mahometan character,
there is an anecdote going the rounds Of the papers
in the words following. to wit:
! A SERMON TO DoGs-The number of dogs in Con
stantnople so great short time ago that three
thousand were conveyed to island Of the Bospho
rus with provisions sufficient to last three days..
On the 4th day. the Imans assembled the minareis
and exported them to patience and esignation.
Far be it from to liken compare, or insinu
ate likeness or comparison between our very re
spectacle, but exceedingly snaptous brethren 9th
i Wing press and the sons Of dogs alluded to il
the foregoing elegant extract" yet fain would W
be an Imam tall neinaret exhorting them to pa
tience and resignation; teaching them, since di
they must, to die with dignity to keel grace
fully, and give up the ''jost," politically speaking
) quietly and automatically. It's the best plan W
tried it four years ago, and know all about it..

Prepared from RENNE1, or the fourth STOM-
ACH OF THE OK, after directions of BARON
LIEBIG, the great Physiological Chemist, by
J. S. HOUGIlTON, NJ. D. Philadelphia, Pa.
This is truly wonderful remedy for INDIGES-
TION, DYSPEPSIA, JAUNDICE, LIVER
COMPLAINT, CONSTIPATION, and DEBIL-
ITY, Curing after Natures own method, by
Natures own Agent, the Gastric Juice

ter, will digest or dissolve, Fire Pounds of Roast
Be, f in ahom tro hours, out of the stomach.
PEPSIN is the chief element. or Great Digest
ing Principle Of the Gastric Juice--the Solrem of
The Food, the Purifying, Preserving, and Stimula-
ting Agent Of the Stomach and Intestines. 1t is
extracted from the Digestive Stomach of the Ok,
thus forming an ARTIFICIAL DIGESTIVE
FLUID, precisely like the natural Gastric Juice in
its Chemical powers, and furnishing CON-
PLETE and PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for it.
By the aid Of this preparation, the pains and evils
of INDIGESTION and DYSPEPSIA are remov-
cd, just as they would be by healthy Stomach.
1t is doing wonders for Dyspeptics, curing cases
of DEBILITY, EAIACIATION, NERVOUS DE-
CLINE, and DYSPEPTIC CONSUMPTION,
supposed to be on the verge of the grave. The
Scientific Evidence upon which il is based, is in
the highest degree CURIOUS and REMARKA-
BILE.
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE!
BARON LIEBIG in his celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says: can Artificial Digestive
Fluid, analogous to the Gastric Juice, may be
readily prepared from the mucous membrane of
the stomach of the Ok in which various articles
OF food, as meat and eggs, will be sofened chang
ed, and digeStcd, just in he same manner as they
acOud be in The human stomach"
