The BOmba-dment of CallaO- Spanish
BaTbaIism.

From the Times.
In its quarrel with the South American re-
pubhcs, Spain has from the first acted in oppo.
siton to the feeling of the civilized world. The
causes of difference were not s9cn as Justify war,
at least until all efforts mediation or settle
ment had proved Intellectual. And when the
Spanish Government, with Characteristic AFRO
gance declared war; and repudaIed the pacific
intervention rendered bg England and France,
the sympathy OF other nations ranged itself on
the side of tine allied republics. The opinion
crystallzed when the Spanish fleet assaled the
delenseless commercial city of Valparaiso; and
it will be intensified by the details now pub
lished in reference to the bombardment OF
Callao.
The circumstances of the two ports at the
time OF the bombardment, we're widely different
To remove al pretcXt Tor attacking Valparaiso,
the Chilan Government had d'snantled its iorts,
removed It's guns, and lett It, IN all respects, Il
mere commPl C al city. It's merchants were for
e,gn, its warehouse" were filled with foreign
goods, its whole Importance was centred IN its
position as the Leat of an extended commerce.
In this tact should have consisted its strongest
guarantee against destruction. To the chiYIi-
rous NuncZ, however, it seems to have been the
inducement Tor cneap display OF courage;
and, though the population of Valparaiso almost
totally escaped injury, the damage done to pub

The deienscs OF Nallao, instead OF being

against the forts of Callao, however, so many of
the Spanish ships rs were vet hit for service
turned their attention to the business part of
the CITY, and re.enacted the disgraceiul scene of
Valparaiso. The town was mercilessly shelted,
and ITS best mercantile Establishments greatly
injured; the only apparent object being the
qualification of a savage vengeance, and the
further exemplcation OF the manner in which
Christian, chivalrous Spain chooses to conduct
its hostiltles.
II is in the latter of these aspects that the
course of Spain towards both the Peruvian aud
the Chilian port will command attention. The
avoidance Of injury to commercial towns is
one OF the best established rules OF modern
warfare amongst nations pretending TO be
civilized. Inconvenience TO commerce, as
consequence Of hostillties, is inevitable; but
the causeless, wanton infection of damage
upon places OF exclusively commercial import
ance, is universally condemned as at variance
with humanity and civilization. Although
England cannot boast OF clear conscience
in this regard, as the history of her operations
in China and Japan, ana more recently before
Cape Hsytien, sufficiently shows, 1t is renem-
bered TO her credit that in the Crimean war
her fleet, in conjunction with the fleet OF France,
abstained from the inliction OF loss or injury
upon the port Of Odessa. And when the King
OF the Two Scilies proposed to lombard the
commercial but rebellious town of Mess1na, an
English vessel-oi-war interposed and prevented
the execution of the threat. 1t is the same
everywhere. War is bad enough at the best, and

property and lite. Spain alone, OF all the powers
IN the world, dares to DEFY public opinion, and
to carry on war upon the principle OF barbarism.
Spain alone, IN effect, declares that commerce
shall not be respected, tnat civilization shall be
ignored and that Christian countries may, in
this year of grace, prosecute hostiities on plan
which the KING OF Dahomey may be supposed
most he Cartily to approve.
Other nations can hardly afford long to remain
silent observers Of these outrages affecting as
they do, most intimately, the rights OF their
own citizens and subjects, and the common sem
timent of the world. The nation that should
now revive the slave trade, or initiate for its
own advantage customs repu1nant to humanity
would probably require the name of a nuisance,
and might be dealt with accordingly. BarbIric
eL cluslveness, as in the case OF Japan, is nova
days held to constitute grievance, to be pro-
tected against and abated. And 1t remains 10
be seen how long Spain will be permitted to
DEFY the rules OF civilized warfare, aud to punish
its enemies by assaults upon unprotected centres
of commerce. There may be no justification
for war against Spain by way of punishment
but there does seem to be good ground for such
protest on the part of other counties a9 shall
bling its impCnous ldlers to their senses.

Chesnut street.
All works from Mr.. 0lphant are welcome.
She seldom, il ever, writes bad book, or even
a mediocre work They are ali good. In nothing
does she excel more than in short stories. She
has tendency to spread her details until they
approach prolixity; but when her tales are con-
cise we know Of none which we would rather
read. "The Orphans is a quiet, home-like, and
vvdly natural story, OF some hundred pages,
while "Cacb Field is a Puritan romance short
and spicy, yet with the true ring OF the Puritan
metal. To those who have read miss Maiori-
banks" and her other productions, we need
hardly waste space by recommending the little
production now before us.

A CONSIDERABLE JUDaE.-A very
learned and compassionate Judge, in
Texas, on passing a sentence on John
Jones, who had been convicted of murder,
concluded his remarks as follows
"The fact is, Jones, that the court did
not intend to order you to be executed
before next spring, but the weather lie
very cold our jail, unfortunately is in u
very bad condition much of the glass in
the windows is broken the chimneys
are in such dilapidated state that no
FIRE can be made to render your apartment
comfortable; besides, owing to the great
number of prisoners, not more than one
blanket can be allowed to each !; to sleep
sound and comfortable; therefore, is out
of the question. In consideration of
these circumstances, and wishing to les
sen your sufferings as much as possible,
the court, in the exercise of its humane
compassion, hereby orders you to be exc
cuted tomorrow morning, as soon after
breakfast as may be convenient to the
sheriff and agreeable to you.

Something About Dreams.

The writer believes in dreams, that is
after his own fashion. He does not be-
lieve that one can tell from dreams what
is to happen. Strange stories are told of
things occurring after certain dreams, but
nobody knew what the vision meant until
after the event came to pass, so that
the dreamer was no wiser than the peo-
pie. Any ono who should try to do
business by following his dreams, would
soon have no money to dream about
of course we do not refer to the visions
which the prophets had in olden times,
but to the ordinary dreams which every.
body has. Our belief in dreams is, that
pleasant ones are very desirable, that they
amuse and recreatc the mind during hours
of sleep. The poorest man may enjoy
unbounded wealth for eight hours out Of
twenty-four, if he be good dreamer, aud
all things that the heart can desire may
come without an effort. Thus at least
one-third of life may bring pleasure, and
this is as large portion OF enjoyment
as most men have.
A hearty mea! shortly before retiring,
very great anxiety, too heavy press OF
business, or whatever disturbs body or
mind during sleep, win often bring tor.
ment to the dreamer. He will be attack
ed by wild beasts, or fall from precipices,
or be drowning, or in some other terrible
situation. Pleasant dreams usually at
tend sound health, proper mode of life
and quiet conscience !; all Of which vii
add to happiness by day as we'll as AZ
night The most important dreams
come when people are wide awake
Columbus dreamed in this way, that
there was Western world, and then he
went to work to find it. Thousands of
boys aud girls, men and women, arc every
,lay dreaming of becoming rich or IA
lnous, but, they do not to 60 to work to
bring it about, and SO their dreams only
make them discontinued. Here then are
three things to be noticed 1st, day
dreams are useful if they are to good pur-
pose. I'd, bad dreams can, aud should
lie dismissed and Sd, to accomplish
anything, dreaming must be followed by

An Old Story in q New and Improved
Dress.

The Fon du Lac Press is responsible
for the following squib
ga gentleman of our acquaintance got
it into his head the other day that bis
stove wood melted away little faster than
the warm weather warranted, and con-
cluded to try an experiment, in the hope
of catching the thief. Taking a fine
looking stick, he charged it with few
ounces of powder and replaced it on the
side of the pile which seemed to diminish
the fastest. This was on Tuesday. On
Wednesday afternoon an explosion, some
what resembling the shock of small
earthquake, was heard in house near
by. A man passing by at the time says
that simultaneous with the explosion he
saw kettle of salt pork and eabbage-it
may have been sour. krout-shoot up,
through the roof near the chimney, very
much like a sky-rocket. At the same
time large Thomas cat was observed to
make his exit throug b the window, evil

thing might be wrong, the gentleman en-
tered the house, where a scene of inde-
scribable confusion met his gaze. The
atmosphere was pervaded with most
diabolical smell of gunpowder and burnt
cat fur. The lady Of the house was
crouching away in closet, and said she
didn't feel we'll, tho wood box looked very
dilapidated, and pan of apples that were
stewing on the stove had been elevated
to the ceiling above, giving it very much

legs the stove itself was slightly demon
allied aud just water enough split to
prevent general confagration. The
Teutouic proprietor of the establishment
was standing on his head in a distant
corner of the room, and it was some tune
before he could be prevailed on to come
down. He now expresses tho belief that
the explosion was 'tam Yankee trick,

SLEEPING CAUSE.-THE people of this
country, says the New York Tribune, are
paying several thousand dollars per night
in generous prices for the use of sleeping
cars on railroads, and receiving in re-
turn more poison than the black hole
of Calcutta could have generated had it
been filled and rc-filled with helpless cap
tives down to this hour. 1t would be
low estimate to pacs the baneful results
of these mephtc dens at thirty thousand
typhoids aud one thousand deaths per an
mum.
A sleeping-car might and should be
properly and thoroughly ventilated but
none ever will be so long as air shall be
admitted only from windows at the top,
nor SO long as the quantity of air admitted
is controlled by any person or PERSONS
The occupants of the top berths very ma
turally object to sleeping in draft for the
benefit of the groundlings; and your at
tendantS will shut up ventilators to save
heat until the car becomes foul, revolt
ing charnalhouse, wherein sleep is peril
GUS and breathing the inhalation of dis
ease and death.
Until this abuse shall be reformed, and
every car thoroughly ventilated from the
bottom as we'll as to the top, SO as to main
tain pure atmosphere within it, whatev-
er may be the temperature without it,
and utterly independent of the will of the
conductor, we advise passengers to keep
out Of sleeping cars.

ONE PAIR OF STOCKINGS.

An old woman sat by her bright fireside
Swaying thoughtfully to and fro
In an ancient chair whose creaky craw
Told tale of long ago;
While down by her side on the kitchen floor,
Stood basket of worsted balls-a score.
Was filled to the very brim,
And now there remained of the goodly pile
But single pair him.
Then wonder not at the dimmed eye-sight,
There's but one pair of stockings to mend to-
night.
For each empty nook in the basket old,
BY the hearth there's an empty seat
And miss the shadow from off the wall,
And the patter of many feet;
IT'S tor this that tear gathered over my sight,
At the one pair ofstockings to mend tonight.
IT'S said that far through the forest wild
And over the mountain bold,
Was land whose rivers and darkening caves,
Were gemmed with the rarest gold
Then my first-born turned from the oaken door,
And knew the shadows were only four.
Another went forth on the foaming waves
And diminished the baskets storer
But his feet grew cold-so weary and cold
They'll never be warm any more
And this nook in lis emptiness seemeth to me
To give forth no voice but the moan Of the sea.
TWO others have gone towards the setting sun,
And made them homes in its light,
And fairy fingers have taken their share
To mend by the Preside bright;
Some other basket their garments fill,

Lord Byron.
1t is curious aud instructive to observe
the mental peculiarities of our friends. 10
notice the lights and shades which blend
in the character, and serve as the mental
medium, by which heart speaketh to heart.
We see these things with loving eyes, for
they are part and parcel of those indi-
viduals for whom there is reserved and
honored place in our regard. If l were
asked to express in one word the most
prominent trait in the character of nv
friends, l should unhesitatingly answer,
sadness. A morbid sadness, through
whose distorted lenses, all persons and all
subjects appear enveloped in sadness. A
sadness so indefinite iu its character, yet
50 strange in its manifestations, that
have long classed it with those mysteries
which Hamlet told Horatio, were not to
be found in his PHILOSOPHY" 1t is a
sa luess which, though owning to "local
habitation," has no "name.'' 1t is a
aocighty nothing. An "insubstantial pa
geant" heavg vapor, lowering cloud,

My friends are no losers by the war
manual or mental labor has never seized
them with iron grasp, and said, "work for
your daily bread, and for helpless fami-
ly." No weary needle.women are they,
singing the "Song of the Shirt" No
landlord gives them warning. Gaunt
want stalks not through their homes.
Grim poverty hears not the echo of their
footsteps. My friends are in comfortable
ciroumstances-but they arc sad.
My friends are not the descendants of
those melancholy pilgrims, whose bark
was moored, as poet saith, "on the bleak
New England shore" The fates forbid {!
l should think my friends sadness per-
fec'ly natural and proper if such were the
case. No, the Hon. Charles Sumner is
welcome TO them all, and we only ask him
to Eettton-he is always petittoning-
Congress to pass an act to prevent them
from riIgrimising in this direction.
My friends are not pnilantbropists.-
They do not care fig for woman's rights
and never think of negro suffrage
They have 10 mission except to amuse
themselves, and this mission they doo't
embrace with any ardor. They care not
farthing for either Asia, Africa, "Green-
lands icy mountains" or "Iudia's coral
