A TouCuING SoENE.-On Friday af-
tcrnoon of the 9th inst, at the Baptist
Church, was enacted scene whose soft
and touching beauty has not yet passed
from our memory. 1t was the funeral of
little Robert II. Wiles, eldest son oe our
fellow townsman Mr. Roht II. Wiles.
A procession Of his school-mates, the
pupils Of Miss Albergotti, followed the
bier Of their little comrade from his
fathers residence to the Church. and
each Que Of the little mourners bore a
wreath Of living flowers, twined by their
own little hands to deck his grave.
After the funeral services, Including
solemn and impressive address by the
Rev. DR.. Durham, were concluded the
remains Of the little fellow were carried
to the grave appointed Tor them, and in
tered in solemn silence, the group of
fair and harry children standing around
in soft and silent sorrow, their bright
eyes downcast, as they gazcd upon a
scene SO new, 50 sad to thc,n.
When his grave had been filed up,
upon the mound that rose above it, these
bright children cane aud s;rewed their
wreathS. changing its earthly profile into
: mound Of fragrant and beauteous flow
ers. Bright happy nowors, their expires
sion is ali love and beauty. That mound
wreothed with natures beouteous offer
ings, placed there by childhood's tiny
hands, spoke message Of fragrant, aud
thrilling hope TO those who mourneA
their little one. They wrote the epitapl
Of their loved and lost: ''Resmyop,! |

Flowers, bright flowers
They sleep in dust ilro' tic winuy hours
They break forth ia glory, flowers, bright
aywers?
The Lord had need of that fowcrct
gay, he is trausplantcd to the genial aiy
of Heaven"
Amid just such scene, nelhinks, he
shall arise, amid just such associations,
only the flowers there will be unlading
and immortal, aud the little ones will be
cherrbim, angels around the throne Of
God, land there shall be no death there,

CUBA,

THE latest news from Cuba received by way of
Key West, and published in this mornings
papers, is calculated to arouse the indignation of
every citizen of this Republic, whether they
sympathize with the revolution or not.
We are informed that Count Valmaseda the
commander of the Spanish forces in the Eastern
Department. has issued proclamation, of which
the following are the principal features:-
First Every native male over fifteen years of age
found away from his residence without sufficient
Second. Every unnhabited dwelling and every in
habited dwelling where a white flag is undisplayed
will be reduced to ashes.
Third. All women away from their houses will
come to Bayamo or Jiguani, or they will be brought
by force.
Accustomed as we have been of late to the re-
ports of Spanish outrages, it is difficult to be-
lieve that such an order as this really issued
by an officer protesting to represent civilized
and Christian government. At the same time
there is nothing against the truth of it except its
fendish character, and if it really was issued it
is certainly time for the friends of Cuban inde-
pendencc in the United States to make them
selves heard in the most decided and unmistaka-
BILE manner. A meeting will be held this even
ing at the Academy of Music and we hope that
the demonstration will be of such a character as
will encourage the Cuban patriots and advance
| their cause.
The Cuban revolutionary movement cannot in
| any way be put in comparison with the late
| Shareholders Rebellion in the United States, but
it is entirely analogous with our own revolution
of 1776. The outrages perpetrated by the
| Spanish authorities make it more than ever
necessary that the voice of the American people
should be heard, clear, strong, and imperative, on
the subject of Cuban independence, and the
| time appears to have now arrived when it is not
only expedent but our absolute duty to do
something beyond giving our mere sympathies
to the struggling patriots who are endeavoring
to free themselves from the chains of q despot-
ism as cruel as it is contemplate.

muneration by stated salaries, instead of fees.
The latter of these proposed remedies will GER
tsinly be productive Of great reform, and 1t is
highly probable that the former would prove
equally ef3icacious. Under the present loose
and rotten system, the County Prison is crowded
with persons accused of trivial offenses, in the
great majority of which cases there Is not
the shadow of pr5peo focie case against them,
while as the Grand Jury maintains the high
handed criminals are enabled to go unwhipt OF
justice through influences with which the public
is already too familiar. A reform is impera-
lively demanded, and the people have the means
Of cffecting 1t within their reach. They must
begin with the Legislature, by selecting next
October class Of men different in almost every
respect from those who have heretofore been
entrusted with the task of making our laws-a
class of men with whom the public interests
will be paramounti whose sole study shall not
be q discriminate and reckless plunderiug Of the

THE NATURALIzATIoN Whatever
may be the legal merits of the issue on the
power of the Supreme Court at Nisi Prius to
naturalize aliens, which was put at rest yester-
day by Chief Justice Thompson's decision, the
subject demands imperatively the attention of
Congress. If the Nisi Prius Court is to be en-
trusted with this power, without any safeguards
other than those now provided by law, we shall
be in the future, as we have been in the past, at
the mercy of reckless and shameless politicians.
The sooner they prevented from rendering
nugatory the ballots of legal voters the better
for the people and the country.

THE GRAND JURY.

IT is not often that we are enabled to peruse u
document, in the shape of a presentment of a
grand jury which possesses such sterling merit
and Is deserving of such unqualified endorse
ment as that which Mr.. Robert j. Mercer. the
foreman of the body whose labors have Just been
brought TO close, presented to the Criminal
Court this morning 1t deserves "A careful read
ing at the hands of every citizen. The grand
jury again call especial attention to the crowded
state of the County Prison, and Justly place the
principal share of the blame for it upon our
reckless and grasping aldermen They saw.
'In the great majority of cases the malice and envy
OF the private accuser, harvest rich in emoluments
for our honorable aldermen, and heavy hills Of nN
pense for the community of taX-payers are ,nore
easily discernible than the paramount claims of Inc
tlce or tne pubic Interest," The whole
prison statistics on this subject render il anparent
that our adermanic system has been turned into n
laboratory for the creation OF offenses, ana well
trained witnesses are ever ready TO a the most ne

LAFA YETTE GONNA n

The complimentary banquet which was given
last evening at the Continental Hotel in honor
of Rev. William G. Cattell, the President of
Lafayette College, was something more than
mere social gathering, or simple expression of
regard for a talented and estimable gentleman.
DR.. Cattell was surrounded on this occasion by
men who do honor to the stations which they
hold in this community and who represented
the learning, social influence, and piety of the
most influential classes of society: and the express
sions of personal regard for the recipient of the
testimonial and of earnest sympathy for the
great work in which he is engaged, were such
as will be appreciated at their true value.
DR.. Cattel took charge of Lafayette
College when its fortunes were at the lowest ebb,
and by his learning influence, skilful manage
ment and indomitable energy, he has not only
placed it upon firm foundation, but he has
brought it to the front rank among our educa-
tional institutions. Holding fast to what is good
in the old collegiate systems, he has successfully
introduced improvements in accordance with the
most advanced ideas of the age, and has gathered
about him corps of workers as enthusiastic as
himself, whose solid learning and eminent ability
in the various departments have aided mate
rally in giving Lafayette College its present
standing.
President Cattell will shortly sail for Europe
where he expects to remain for year or more
engaged in the examination of the various
Polytechnic schools, investigating their sys-
tens of government and principles of education.
His friends on this side of the water bid him
God-speed, and they anticipate the most graft
flying results to follow from the extended tour
of observation upon which he is about to en-
bark. In our paper to-day will be found a
full report of the proceedings at the banquet
last evening; and we especially commend DR..
Cattells admirable address to the attention of
our readers.

n bis works should have fair treatment. what
followed was not altogether creditable TO either
party but it served TO illustrate the whole difficulty
and TO bring II In the most decided manner before
the public. Mr.. Moran's action in defacing his pic
lures appeared rash and i'll tempered, but every one
could see for themselves that they not hung in
such positions as was due to the reputation OF the
artist or their own undoubted merits
While the artists very properly think that an
Academy designed for the encouragement of Amerl-
can art ought to exert itself to place good American
works before the public, and to make additions OF
such works TO its own collection as often as is prac
ticable yet they have never demanded the exclusion
Of foreign art and no other proof OF this is needed
than Gastaldi's picture of "Parsina," which was
only purchased by the Academy, at sum which was
perfectly insignificant in comparison with its real
value at the urgent solicitation and entreaty of the
artists OF Philadelphia, who appreciated fully the i'm
portance of having such picture among us as q
subject for study
In every other country but the United States nation
al works OF art always accorded the first places,
and the foreigners left to take of themselves
as best they may At the Paris Exposition Of 1851 the
Fine Art Committee complacently voted themselves
and their compeers all the desirable prizes and they
cared nothing for what the Belgans, Italians, Eng
lish, and Americans might think say so long as
French art was gorihed Are we In Philadelphia more
vrtuous than Paris. or we merely more stupid,
that we take French art at its own valuation, and
thrust our own productions in the background Or
is American art utterly yaueless that IL IL not tit
to show its face in good company These are sub
jectS worthy OF consideration and we hope that the
managers of the Academy of Fine Arts, with the
results of this policy before them in the most ndif
ferent display they have offered to the public for
years, VIII think 1t worth while to make fresh
start and try and do something worthy of the name
and ancient reputation OF the institution which they
represent.
