ANOTHER CUBAN OUTRAGE-WHEN WILL OUR
GOVERNMENT WAKE UP?-In our Washington
letter of to-day will be found the details of
another gratuitous outrage committed by one
Of the Cuban officials on the person of an
American sailor. If the facts therein stated be
correct-and we have every reason to believe
they are-not the slightest shadow of provoca-
ton can be pleaded in excuse for this act of
wanton aggression. The facts, as we under
stand them, are briefly these:-A fire acciden-
tally broke out on board of the American brig
Stirling, which was lying at anchor in the har-
Dor, but it was extinguished in the course of
few minutes. The Captain of the Port, on
learning the occurrence, Immediately hurried
on board the vessel, apparently in violent
passion, and, after questioning the steward in
the most naughty and insolent tone as to the
particulars, ended by striking the man twice,
although his answers were couched in the most
respectful terms. When the captain of the
vessel found matters carried so far. he thought
it high time to put stop to the fellows IN
justifable violence, and he quietly intimated to
him that if he did not adopt more civil tone
he would throw him overheard The prospect
of a sea bath had at once the effect Of cooling
his ire and Of expediting his departure from
the vessel.
This is another item added to the long ac-
count Of grievances which we shall have to
settle with the Spanish government as soon as
We can get men of proper pluck and spirit into
the places SO meekly filled by the creatures of
shreds and patches who compose the present
Cabinet at Washington. As nine tailors
go to make man, it is fitting subject
for speculation as to how many fractional parts
of humanity in this form are required to ill the
poet of Secretary for Foreign Affairs. Until
this important problem be solved, we are glad
to see that our citizens, tired Of waiting for the
action of government, are determined to take
the care Of their protection into their own
hands

sW There were some queer doings in the
Recorders Court of the First District of New
Orleans on the 18th inst. A writ of habeas
corpus was taken out by Col. Fields in behalf
of one of his clients. The prisoner was ar
rested on a new affidavit, and brought before
Recorder Summers. Col. Field in very
offensive manner declared that that function
ary was acting Illegally, and might wake up
in Jail. The pieayune tells tho rest Of tho
story as follows:
"The Recorder at once ordered tho Clerk
to make out n commitment for contempt of
court and Col. Fields was taken into custody
He then requested permission to make out an
affidavit, which was granted, and he went into
the Clerks office for that purpose, but return
ed in few minutes without the affidavit, and
informed the Recorder that he was sd
jackass." Mr.. Summers, feeling as a man,
not n judge, at once adjourned the court and
leaped from the bench, intending to chastise
the man who had so grossly insulted him.
He was prevented, however, by the officers of
his court, who demonstrated with him upon
the improprety of Noticing the insult at such
time and in such place, and he desisted
and resumed his seat. In the meantime Col.
Fields had drawn pistol and dared the Re-
corder to come on. He was Immediately dis
armed and taken out of court, and so the
emeute ended"

A "KEow."-"Stranger, will you please to

turned around just in time to hear the same
question put to another passenger, who no
doubt was little riled at the impertinence
of the fellow, and bawled out at the top Of
his voice, "a teoae, guess darn ye." Imme-
diately the Kcntuckian seized the affrighted
Yankee, tured his face to the opposite shore,
and gave him to understand very distinctly,
that if he ever dared to cross that river again
it would oe the last time. ..i,..e......

i SANTA CLARA WHEAT AGAINST THE
WoRLD.--The editor of the San Jose Tele-
graph has visited the wheat fields of Mr.. F
G. Appleton on the Goodrich rancho, and
from his statements the growth and yield of
grain are beyond anything we have ever
heard of even in California. 1t is thought it
will yield eighty bushels to the acre: q
ave saw a cluster of wheat the product
Of one grain, with ll9 stems and the same
number of heads; so of these heads averag-
ed 70 grains to the head, and the whole
number of heads would have averaged more
than SO grains to the head. Think of that
$3.50 grains produced from one seed. We
saw it with our own ewes, and yet it seems to
us incredible. We saw, too, cluster of oats,
the product of one grain of seed, having lo2
fine heads" 'i

DEATH OF A MURpERER.-The Chickasuw
Intelligencer, published in an Indian nation,
and edited by an Indian, gives the following
account of the death of the Indian Lequahah,
alias Polecat, alias Morgan, the last surviv-
ing murderer Of Messrs. Stemm and Lepple-
man. Morgan, pursued by his tribe, travelled
almost two hundred miles to the tent of a
distant brother, which he entered at night,
and, in answer to inquiries propounded to
him, repeated truthful narration of his
crime, pursuit and escape. His brother heard
the tale, reminded him Of former admoni-
tons, and requested him to promise 20 sur.
render himself to justice. He refused, and
in few moments fell dead by the hand Of n
man noble enough to sacrifice even brother
upon the hallowed altar of public justice.

. Lieut.. Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte,
of the rifle regiment, has forwarded to the
Secretary of War from Paris the resignation
of his commission in the army of the United
States. Lisnt. Bonaparte is an American by
birth, and grandson of Prince Jerome,
youngest brother of the great Napoleon. He
was educated at West Point Military Acade-
my, where he graduated with credit in July,
1853. After serving with his regiment year,
he went, with his father, Jerome Bonaparte,
Esq, of Baltimore, on visit to France,
where, report said, he was received with dis
tincton by his kinsman the Emperor, and the
consequence, as appears, has been the resig-
nation of his commission in our army.

SENSIBLE, IF NOT SPIcY.-We not unfre-
quently see very good things very well said
in the Dayton Gazette. If any one doubts it
let him read the following:
"The tree is not more certainly known by
its fruit, than is a town or city by its news
papers. A growing city, with an intelligent,
enterprising, and thrifty population, will send
out wel-conducted, well printed newspapers,
crowded with advertisements, saying to eve-
ry stranger who picks them up, "See how
sleek, well fed and fat our people make us;
and interhence, how prosperous, full-handed
and liberal our people themselves must be-"
How different story is told by papers of
another kind. When you open dull little
sheet, that looks as if it had been printed
with sour apple-butter for ink; with six lines
of editorial matter, preceded by an imploring
notification that "The publisher now calls,
for the last time, on those who wish TO pay
their subscription in wood;" with few paying
advertisements but those of the Sheriff, of
ierlng to sell real estate "at two thirds of its
appraised valuej' when you open sheet of
this kind, coming from town you never
saw, what is your conclusion? Is it not that
the place has 'gone to grass" and better be
fenced in for pasturel Would you be likely
to think of going there toinvest money or to
do business"

PROCLAMATION OF THE PULPrr-A friend Of

a certain Divine not fifty miles distant, who.

incidentally alluded to his mode of ratiocina-

his conversion. aIf I get religion l shall be
safe any how; If don't get it at all, the
chaneesare against me, must, ,ciH repent.

Such is one out Of the many instances
wherein, owing to hurriedness Of utternnce.
words become the vehicle of uncherfshed
ideas. Passion and enthusiasm should never
be allowed to gain supremacy over reason
and self.possession. '|'

to the people for support At any rate he
seems to have made his appointments on
this principle.
