GREAT PREPARArIoSs BIZ THE CuBA FiLIBus-
rERs-The editor of the Alexandria Democrat
(Red River. La.,) has been spending some
time among his brother 6libusters in New Or
leans, and writes joyonsly home to his paper, as
follows:
1.-The fate of Cuba is sealed. Nothing short
OF the hand of Omnipotence can save her now,
and the Queen of the Antilles may set about pre-
pariag a wedding dress for her marriage to Un-
Gle Sam. 1t does not matter a straw whether
We kick up war with her about the Black
Warrior case, or let that take its place among
the THOUSAND and one other indignities we have
impatiently endured. There is an expedition
On foot having for its object her overthrow, of
character altogether too formidable to admit a
loop upon which to hang doubt. This IS posi-
lively true, and what is a little remarkable
there is no disguise whatever about it. sien
talk of it here event beyond the survell-
lance of chance. There is no such word as
fall" Batherskite meetings not held, nor
are our risibies excited by symbolic givings out
of any mysterious hints. Bat what amounts to
something more and better, hundred subscrip-
ton books are open, and | state a fact within
my own knowledge. that nearly half a million
OF dollars has been subscribed in New Orleans,
and paid in. Any one can see these books,
witness the paying down of cash by what |
may call countless throng, cruwding and fork
over whatever he may deem proper Munitions
OF war, huge canon, muskets powder, etc.,
leave here almost daily for New York, and
large bodies of EN- grants pressing forward
to the Rio Grande. Up to this time these public
movements have encountered no obstacles, nor
will they IN future. Men have charge of the
expedition now who are not half-brained fools,
but energetic, practical business operators
They will start with the sinews of war-money
with picked men--not the rag-tag and bob
tail OF large cities-and with appointments for
any emergency.

A BEAUTIFUL SIMtLE.-The pious Jonathan
Edwards, whose writings are 80 highly priced
by the churches, describes Christian as being
like such little flower az we see in the
spring of the year, low and humble on the
ground; opening its bosom to receive the plea
SAINT beams OF the suns glory; rejoicing as it
were in calm of rapture; diffusing around
sweet fragrance standing peacefully and lowly
in the midst of other flowers The world may
not even notice it; but nevertheless. it will be
diHnsing around sweet fragrance upon all who
dwell within its lowly sphere.

New SoUrH WALES AND OHIo-A CoMPARI-
soN.-The Sydney Empire, in an article on the
subject of land settlement ia the Colony, after
complaining of the scarcity of farm labor, and
the slowness with which new lands are being
brought under cultivation, makes the subjoin-
ed fattering contrast between Ohio and Aus
tralia:
In 1894 this territory (the State of Ohio) was
covered with dense and impenetrable forest.
In 1880 ii contained two large and fourishing
cities, and population of upwards of million
of inhabitants. This colony, in the sixty
seventh year of its existence, comprises ouly
one city, and population of barely quarter
of million. In the one case, however. settle
ment and cultivation have gone hand in hand !;
in The other, the land has been suffered to lie
waste. while capital has accumulated without
corresponding field for its employment. In the
Que case, industry has had full and free scope,
and the progress OF the community has been
great and rapid in the other, industry has been
damned up and forced into artificial channels,
and the consequence has been that the cornmu-
nifty is, in all the substantial elements of wealth.
in stationary condition, and must, without the
prompt application of powerful remedy, very
soon retrograde.

To GRAIN GRowERs.-In response to the lei
ters which have been received from our CORES
pondents, asking what shall be done with onr
wheat we are happy to say to them. says the
California Farmer, that addressed letters To
our most prominent Bankers upon the subject
OF shipping grain East, and are now ready To
say to those who desire to send grain forward.
that way is opened to relieve them. We are
authorised by Messrs. Page, Bacon g. Co., who
are ever ready to aid in the great interests of
The country, to say that they are willing to make
liberal advances upon cargoes or large quantities
of grain shipped and consigned to them. Those
who are now ready can make arrangements as
their case requires Other prominent houses
are ready for aiding the farmers, and mil
lion Of dollars is ready for them, and more il
wanted
To perfect this relief and to give n perma-
nency to these interests convention in every
county should be Immediately called, and u
State Convention also This is the great inter
est of the country, and demands immediate at.
tenton.
Let those who crowding grain and -four
from Chill and the States, know the true cond-
ton of this market, and that we have in Califor-
MIA one million bushels wheat to spare that the
grain growers will manage their own business
and are determined not only to sell al low as the
lowest, but become exporters also.
