The truth is, that Cuba, in its existing COL
onial condition, is a constant source of injury
and annoy ance to the American people. 1t is
the only spot in the civilized world where the
African slave trade is tolerated; and we are
bound by treaty with Great Britain to main
tain naval force on the coast of Africa, at
much expense both of life and treasure, sole
ly for the purpose of arresting slaves bound
to that island The late serious difficulties
between the U. S. and Great Britain respect

not afforded market for slaves. As long as

A DEVOTED WlFE.-A correspondent of the Ro,
ton Post relates the following in REFERRING to ~.
recent accidental death of Col. Wynkoop:
Colonel Wynkoop, of Pennsylvania, led into the
field in Mexico regiment second in point of dscin.
line to no regiment of volunteers, except perhars
breckenridge Kentuckians. He was dstinguskeS
in many engagements. He captured Gen. Valencia
and staff and at the close Of the war he returned to
his home crowned with laurcs. He is low dead Tho
circumstances are familiar. With his wife, who is an
invalid, he was visiting the interior of PENNSYLVANIA
for recreation and change of scene The country
is wild there and sparsey settled One morning he
went out with his servant to shoot game for his wife
In handing him The gun, the servant by accident
discharged it; the contents took effect in his leg
severed the artery and he lived but few minutes
This has been told before.
An absurd superstition prevails among the ignorant
inhabitants OF the region, against touching dead
body before an inquest has sat upon it. The SER
want had been sent at for aid to some distance
and in vain did Mrs. Wynkoop endeavor to induce
by supplicaton, by promises, by offers of money! tho
stuIted neghbors to shelter and care for her hus.
bands body. 1t was night. He still lay where he
fell and there, in that bowling Wilderness with the
clammy dampness of midnight gathering on her gar.
ments, did that delicate woman, as fra as the wild
flowers around her thai folded their petals together
in that weird solitude, sit alone on the chill turf,
supporting on her knee the head of her husband
and there remained keeping her lonely vigil until the
breaking of the grey dawn, alone with her dead and
with her bleeding heart.
If the incident be a sad one, it becomes a season
set apart to lessons and pledges Of affection.

In 1.-THE order of accidents" Jenkins next did
homage to the lady of the Secretary of the Treasury,
and in her presence the impulses of his ardent
ture warmed into glow of intensest admiration.
He exclaims
Mrs. Cobb is a generous representative OF the
Empire State of the South" We always linger
longest where the bland air and the sunshine greet
u.s. and the half hour in which this emnently social
lady and her friends Miss Clayton and Mrs. Craig,
carried me back to the sunny groves of Georgia,
with ten years. retrospection left the most agree
able and enduring memories 1t should be the pride
of nation that the ladies Of our men high in po
litical power can do so much by their hgh-toned
courteses to hold the Union together" .
Improvident eulogist! For he exhausts the Ian
guarge of panegyrc before he reaches the climax Of
admiration, and is then compelled to repeat compl-
ments already appropriated or to vary the monotony
of praise by ridiculous extravaganza and impertnent
conceits. Afther such safety of adulation, what
he writes of his visits to the ladies of the Attorney
General, the Secretary of War and the Secretary of
the Navy, strikes as absurd bombast insipid
