THE children once went with their grand
mother TO see spiders web they thought
it very curious, and they talked good deal
about it. though they could not see the use
of such things, nor why there should be
such creatures as spiders at all. Their
grandmother replied, MY dear children, I
cannot tell you just now all tho reasons why
the all-wise God created and sustains the va
rious creatures which we see around US,
though we may be sure thore is some good
end to be served but will tell you pretty
story, which may, at least, help us TO think
upon the subject. A young prince used Of
ten to wonder for what purpose God had
made flies and spiders as he could not see,
he said, what use they wero to meE, and if
he had the power, he would kill them all.
One day after great battle, this prince WAS
obliged to hide himself from his enemies,
and wandering about in q wood he lay
down beneath tree, and fell asleep. A SOL
dicr passing bv, who belonged to the enemy,
WAS quietly drawing noar~with his sword To
kill the prince, when, all of sudden, fly
stung his lip, and woke him. Seeing his
danger, he sprang to his feet and quickly
made the soldier run of. That night tho
prince again hid himself in cave in the
same wood, and during tho night, a spider
wove hor webb across the entrance. Two
soldiers belonging to the army which had
defeated him, and who were looking for the
prince, passed the cave in the morning, and
the prince heard their conversation -
Look cried one of thom, 'he is surely con-
cealed in this cave No. replied the other,
that is impossible, for if he had gone IN
there he would have brushed down tho spi-
der's web at the entrance When thoy had
gone away, the prince raised his hands and
eyes to heaven, and thanked God for such
goodness, in yesterday saving his life by a
spider, and acknowledged that tho ways and
works of God are perfectly good and wisc."-

THE Celebrated TEXAN SPY.

Anour two years after the Texan rcvolu.
ton, q difficulty occurred between tho new
government and portion of the people
which threatened the most serious conse-
quences--eyen the bioodshed and horrors Of
civil. war. Briefly the case was this:
Tho constitution had fixed tho city OF
Austin the permanent capital where the pub.
ic archives were TO be kept with reserva.
tion, however, Of power in the President 10
order their temporary removal in case Of
danger from the inroads Of foreign emeny,
or the force Of sudden insurrection.
Conceiyihg that the exceptional emergen-
cy had arrived, as the Camanches frequently
committed r.yages within sight of the CAPT.
tai ITSELF Houston, who then resided at
Washington, on the Brazos, dispatched an
order commanding his subordinate function
aries to send the State records to the latter
place, which he declared to be, pro tenpore,
the, seat Of Government.

citement which the PRONUNCIATION Of that fiat
raised In Austin. The keepers of hotels,
b1<Fding houses, groceries, and flro- banks,

sof the measure would be n death-blow to
their business; and accordingly they deter

danger by opposing the execution of Hous-

ing of the citizens and farmers of tho circum
jacent country, who were all moro or less in
teresred in the question: and after many
fiery speeches against the asserted tyranny
OF the administration, it was unanimously re-
solved to prevent tho removal of the archives
by open and armed resistance. TO that end
they organized a company Of four hundred
fnen, one moiety of whom, relieving the 9TH
or at regular periods of duty, should keep
constant guard around the state-house until
Che peri. passed by. The commander Of this
force was cae Colonel Morton. who had
.sehieycd considerable renown 10 the war Of
independence, and had still more recently
displayed desperate bravery in two desperate
'duels, in both of which he had cut his antng-
onist nearly to pieces with bowie-knife.---
Indeed, from tho Dotoriety Of his character
for revenge, as well as courage, it was

IMPORTANT MOVE AGAINST SOUTHERN In.
TEREsrs IN CrBA.-For the first time, q gentle
man, native and resident of Cuba, the Count of
Cannongo, has been appointed Civil Governor
of Havana 1t is matter Of speculation why
this extraordinary selection of an intelligent
Cuban has been made for so important post.
There Is one circumstance in connection with
the history of the Count de Cannongo worthy of
consideration, which may possibly afford clue
to the mystery Between the years 1871 and
1914 several reports were obtained by the local
government OF Cuba from parties selected to
advise on the proposed British treaty for the
emancipation Of the negroes imported since
1920, and preparatory 10 the penal law for the
execution Of the treaty for the suppression Of
the slave trade. One of these REPORTS was writ

and il was then the only instance of an ooinion
manifested officially in favor Of the emaucipa-
lion Of the slaves and decidedly abolitoDary

EUROPEAN INTERVENTION IN CUBAN POLITICS.
Why are the French and English men of-war
now actively employed in aiding the Cuban
government to awe the disafected of their own
people? No American adventures or devoted
friends have been concerned in the alleged
conspiracy-no filibustering expedition or even
indications of one have been noticed on the
high seas or on the Cuban shore Upon what
ground stands then this foreign Intervention
against the liberals of Cuba, who must be
crushed through the exhibition Of the power of
two great nations?
The answer is to be found in the m memorandum
of Senior Isturiz, Spanish Minister in London,
published among the English parliamentary
documents Of 1852. That gentleman proposes
in it-after England and France had sub ,cribed
the tripartite treaty for the guarantee of Cuba,
that the said two governments shou Id declare
that they would not allow any power whether
European or American, at any time to possess
itself Of the Island OF Cuba, either by cession
or alienation, conquest or insurrection of the
same; adding, that such declaration would be
a natural counterpart to the one expressed by
the United States, to the effect that they would
allow no European power to acquire Cuba.
What confirms the belief that England and
France adopted NJ. Isturiz's suggestion en-
tire, and that Cuba is guaranteed to Spain
even in opposition to the popular will OF her
population, is the concluding sentence of the
Spanish Ambassador in the said memoran-
dunn viz
at would be moreover in consonance with the idea
which, according 10 information received BY Her Catho
lie Maiestys government, at present prevails with the
French and British representatives TO whose the
negotiations new pending at Washington have been
trusted
The pamphlet published in Madrid on the
Sd February last, by Daniel Ryan do Acuna,
advocating the late American policy with
Spain, and defending Mr.. Soule's course con-
siders the treaty of guaranty as positive fact
and the recent acts of the navies of Englaud
and France, at Havana, sufficiently prove that
their governments adopting VI. Isturiz's sug-
gcstion. consider themselves bound to sulIocate
every sigh for freedom Of the inhabitants of
Cuba, whether il DC uttered At home or abroad.
