Mr. Jones, the agent for the sale of this Map,
Is now in town, and after an examination Gifts var
rious parts, we feel authorized in recommending it
to our citizens, the very best thing of the kind,
ever got up in the country. In addition to .heen-
tire possessions of the United States, this map in
cludes the whole Of Mexico, Central America and
the Islands Of the Gulf, the whole, so far as we
canjudge, being unusually accurate, as well in the
general arrangement ana outlines, as in the COM
pick details. To those feeling an interest in the
contemplated rail road, from the Mississippi valley
10 the Pacific ocean, and the various projected in
teroceanic routs, through Mexico and Central
America, together with the new territories lying
WestwardIy, on both sides of the Rocky Mountains,
this map will be very acceptable. 1t also contains
a miniature map of the world, spread out on plain
and several tables Of distances, interesting to the
traveller, and the man engaged in commercial af
fairs. Let those who take an interest III all tht
foregoing matters, examine this land-chart, anC

SHETLAND PoNIEs.--The demand for these har
dy little animals has been on the increase for sew
eral Years, and the prices, in consequence, have
been materially advanced. One dealer has taken
about four hundred annually from off the Shetland
Islands for the past five years, and the total num-
Der yearly exported may be estimated at one thou
sand. Taking the average price at FIVE pounds,
there is brought uto these distant Isles for ponies
alone, al least five thousand pounds per annum.
and nearly all this may be set down as the result
OF steam communication with Berwick Though
We name five pounds as The average, there are but

Annexation Of i'nba as a Free State

lon,the Washington correspondent
of the Baltimore Sun, says
The Buffalo party is everywhere
gaining strength, and the country
rs thus becoming prepared to meet
the great pregnant Cuba question:
Tho annexation of Cuba, us free
State, has already become popular
measure ut the North, aud no party
there will oppose it, The question
will be brought upon us in full force
during the term Of the present nd.
mlnlstration, aud it Is alrea,ly known
that the Harris and the national
wings will vpto with the Soils and
the anti slavery men of I'LL shades, in
the extension OF the area of freedom
by bringing into the Union more free
territory The North will according
t4 present appearances, b. united on
this subject.
Great Britain is about preparing
the way for the emancipation of the
slaves IN Cuba, aud thus half the
work of the Northern people will be
dPue to their hands. It is probable
That cyen-the next Congress will
have to face this question in some
form.
There is an old French maxim, tho
English Of which is TO make rab-
blt hash, you must first catch your
rabbit. 10 make another ST Do
mlnSo or ,Ialnaica of Cuba it will be
lldcefsart first to get posseski sion. of

other party snllposes that tIcy
can obtain the consent of .he people
Of Caba to II transfer Of the island FIR
the purpose of making a free negro

pr force the submissive South into
giving itsassent to such n consummA-
ion, they arc really mistaken. 1t

II The fact is now nscertnlned, tina

Iture from tho duty of elecing ] udge'
Iand Attorney Generals, and lnton,
IN future TO exercise that privilege
themselves. The question now 10 IL
decided is, when sha the people be.
gin 10 exercise that right. The po-
sliion is Ia ken by many that the pres
emf order of things must continue,
until the Legislature elected IN ] 500
shall fix on time for the people to
hold elections for the choice OF these

swer the argument composed Of words
Of learned length aud laundering
sound drawn froma legislature schcd-
ule, we are in favor of the present
Legislature fixing the time for hold
ing these elections, and as The people
have determined to choose these Of
licers themselves in future, we can
see no good reason for poning the
time when they shall make a choice
The Legislature to be elected in 1865
might fix on the first day Of April,
1899, as the day on which tho first
election should be he ID, and sy llble
mongers and techn ical qulbbleIs
might declare it constitutional; but
the willof the people would not be re-
spected by such n decision The
people now claim the privilege of
choosing these Office us themselves,
and we can see no prqpriety in With
holding from them 4 he exercise Of
the right. The sooner the orPortu-
nifty is gran ted for their TO express
their choice, the sooner their will is
complied with. lin these remarks
We err. our error is on the side pf the
people, aud could they be consulted,
we have no doubt, two-thirds oithem

our position. Sho uld The fixing of
the time for holding these elections
be left for the Legislature Of 1906,
md that body should conclude that
the present Legislature was the only
one authorized to act iu the cnsa, the
