The Penalty Of Patriotism,

Wm. Goblet was very useful man-toiled
forty years like slave-did world Of geod
educated his countrymen-taught them their
rights-helped on real reform powerfully
suffered long Imprisonment and sad persecu-
tion-was tree and disinterested in moneymat-
ters-and when he returned from the banish-
ment TO America, caused by Castlereagh's ty-
rannical six acts, and was set down with his
family in bird lodgings, they had among them
less than dollar in money A friend, how
ever, lent him Geo, and this paid for a num-
Der of the Register and for years, in and out
of Parliament, he and his struggled against
poverty AT length he died, like the eminent
and amiable Duanne, poor, leaving his coura-
geous widow to struggle with adversity All
history tells us that political gratitude is what
personal gratitude was in the days Of the ten
lcpers. Jefferson died poor aud struggling
with want, after bestowing fortune, life, and
talents Oh his countrymen. Monroe died in
utter destltutioh. Lafayette, when invited to
America in his old age, could neither beg nor
borrow decent outfit, and had not the leaders
taken up his case, the people would have ior-
gotten him as they did st. Clair, Barton'-and
manv others Of their bravest revolutionary
friends.-M. Ken=ic's Weekly Messenger

In 1918, he retired from Parliament, and
entered the service at Chill. During the fol-
lowing ten years, he was constantly fighting
for the cause of freedom. His friends in Eng
land, during this interval, vainly endeavored
to persuade the ministry TO restore him to the
service. twenty Esars--atter his persecution
and degradation, William w., himself sal
lor, restored Lord Cochrane to the rank he
would have held in the British army, if he had
not been dismissed. lie was replaced, also,
in his position as Knight of the Bath. Since
then, he has became Earl of Dundonald, bv
his fathers death. But for his advanced age,
he would now be naval commander-in-chief
either in the Black Sea or the Baltic. His
story is so remarkable, that have sketched

LIBERIA.-The present population of

Liberia affords the slronges, attractions.
The following is his acrount of the present
condition Of Monrovia:
"Monrovia. the capital, is situated im>
medately in the rear Of the bold promon-
tory of Cape Mesurado, which rises 10
TIE altitude Of $50 teet. The highest
Vart Of the town is eighty feet above The
level OF the sea. The place is laid out
with as much regularity as the location
wi admit Broadway is The main or
principal street, running nearly at right
angles with the sea. Besides this, there
are twelve or fifteen more. The town
contains not far from TWO th' and inhab-
itants. Many of the houses are substan-
TALLY built Of BRICK or stone. AMI several
of them are handsomely furnished The
humidity Of the climate has greatly i'm
paired the wooden buildings. The State
House, public stores, and the new acade-
my, are solid. substantial buildings, ap-
proNriate 10 their uses. There are five
churches, and these are well attended.
The schools will compare favorabIy with
the former distrc, schools in tins coun.
try, which is not saying much in their fa-
yor.
"The soil in the vicinity of the rocky
peninsula of Mesurado is generally sandy.
and comparatively unproductive, except
where there are al'nvial deposits alone

lands on the banks OF the rivers-of this
St. P9ul's for instance, four or five mile
north OF Monrovia-are verv rich, of loa.

lands of Brazil, or any other part of he
world. Here more care is devoted to the
culture of sugar, and increasing attention
is given TO agriculture. These lands readi.

To CONDITION OF CUBA.--A le

aEJ CONDITION OF CUBA.--A letter
from a New Yorker in Cuba says that
having seen the principal parts of lha, is,
land, and noted the Notifications and pre-
parations for active war, he is satisfied
that he is satisfied that the people Of the
United States have been Systematically
deceived BY publications which have
most grossly and intentionally misrepre-
sented many things too obvious for mis-
take. There are twenty four thousand
regular troops on the island, and TO these
will Soon be added three thousand negro
troops, to be attached to each battalion as
flank companies. The number of frigales,
armed frgates, and "guarda coslas," ali
well manned, on the coast and in The har.
bors is four times greater than is generals
ly known here, and there are also q num-
Der of vessels which may easily be con.
verted into vessels Of war of from len to
twenty guna besides which four stea mers
and six ships Of the line are now on the
way to Cuba, in convoy Of transports,
with SIX thousand regular troops, one
thousand of whom are ar,illerists. The
writer adds:
"A register of the landholders and roy.
alists, and those suspected, is in the hands
OF the Governor. All those who can be
relied upon; and those suspected, are
noted. In the hands of the former, arms
will be placed in the event of invasion,
and all suspected will be Immediately ar
rested. The ammunition aud arms are
carefully guarded, aud arrangements are
made in case Of trouble TO pass all public
and private treasure into the Moro Cas-.
tie. The foolish young fellows in the
States who Gin the fIlbusters in expec-
ta'ion of plunder aud easy conquest, will
be disappointed,--an instead of realiz.
ing these expect '.ons, will find defeat,
death or imprisonment. TIE natives of
the island supposed to be friendly to rev.
oluuon, are feeble race, ignorant of mil
'tary matters. without organization, arms
or concert-and will disappoin, the ex.
pectations of their friends in the Uni,ed
States"

THE PRICE oE w ooL The price ol
wool is quoted much lower now than i,
has been sold for last year. and the repor,
is indus riously circulated that the demand
for wool and the price, will be much re-
duced this year. No one, however, can
name any good reason for so great re.
duction as is predicted. We believe,
wool growers would do well TO hold on a
while before accepting the greatly reduced
prices offered. The wool buyers are
comparatively few in number, and can
easily combine TO circulate false reports
in relation 10 the demand for wool.
Our manufactures need 1000 900
pounds Of wool TO supply their machin.
cry every year. Of this seventy one
million pounds, only about fifty three mil.
lion pounds are grown in This country. -
Only three fourths Of the wool manufac>
lured in the country is grown here; and
only about one third Of the ooi consum.
ed in this country is grown here. The
rest is imported in the shape of clo'h or
The roy material, There is a deficiency
in the wool crop Of 'he whole world
The supply does not eqaal the deman nd,
and never has equaIled it.
In tie face Of these facts no one can
believe that there can be any very mate
ria reduction in the price of wool this
season There is no reason for it. On
the contrary, there are some reasons ir
favor of an increase of price. We ad
wise farmers not to be in hurry to dis,
pose Of their stocks at the present low fig
ures.
