\ great many people are about to pack
up and go to Florida, so glowing are the
accounts of the remarkable productive
ness Of that State. \ writer in Fernan-
dina says, ''it northern man could lire
in Florida, year in and year out, he could
make it pay to 60 into sweet potato and
early vegetable business but congest-
ed liver, or chills and fever, or both, will
commonly be the penalty of u protracted
residence in Florida. The old residents
have the sallow, bad look, which the eli
mate in summer and the bad water are SO
certain to produce. 4 man who can

trouble. Strikes in England In all branches Of
trade have never done the workingmcn any
good. As our correspondent truthfully re-
marks, ''capital in Englaad always starves
labor into submission" II does so not ia
England only, but everywhere. The money
which has been actually lost through the sys-
tenn of striking, or standing out, is incaicu-
liable. In too many instances the workingman
in such matters Is but the tool of designing
political demagogues. Men who live and fat
ten on the gains of their fellows, and who
never themselves suffer, unscrupulously bring
thousands to misery. II Is time that tho

Our CASE IN CUBA.-When Mexico was
recently all at sea with regard to government
we plainly indicated our hostility to the re-
establishment Of monarchy so near to us. In
Cuba the case is substantially the same. In
common with the Spanish people the Cuban
people have thrown down the Bourbon domi-
nation, and while in Spain the people
deliberate whether they will choose repub-
lcan or other form Of government, II Is for us
to guarantee to our neghbors the same right
Of choice and to see that European monarchies
gain no new power here. This Is the Monroe
doctrine. These are American ideas. This
doctrine and these ideas must be asserted at
the Spanish capital by man fresh from the
American people.

Mr.. D,srasn and tho Church oue.tio..

Mr.. Disraeli and tho Church Question.
On the evening of Monday last the conserva-
tive party held a meeting in London to hear
from the lips of their chief, Benjamin Disraeli,
an account of the policy which he intended to
pursue on the Irish Church question when tho
bill is brought up for third reading in COM
mittee of the House. The party was we'll
represented, over two hundred members being
present. Mr.. Disraelis plan is substantially
comprised in the following sentences -
According to the ministerial plan the Irish
Church is to be formally disestablished on tho
LIST of January, 1871. Mr. Disraeli's plan Is
to sever the union between the Irish Church
and that of England in 1872. Mr.. Gladstone's
bill provides that private bequests made to tho
Irish Church since 1860 shall not be disturbed.
Mr.. Disraeli proposes that all grants made to
the Irish Church since the reformation shall
remain intact. Mr.. Gladstone's bill provides
that glebe lands may be retained by the Church
by the payment of nominal sum. Mr.. Disraeli
proposes that such property shall remain in
the hands of its present holders without
purchase. Mr.. Gladstone proposes that all
present incumbents shall receive annuities
equal to their present salaries. Mr.. Dsraeli
proposes that out of capitalized sum the
clergy shall draw their incomes. Mr.. Glad
stone proposes that so much money shall be
given respectively to Maynooth and to the
Presbyterians that the Presbyterians and the
Catholics shall find themselves better of than
ever. Mr.. Disraelis plan Is to leave Maynooth
and the Regium Donum as they are. If tho
cable has given us correct account of the
conservative meeting and the speech OF
Disraeli on the occasion, 1t appears to US that
in this matter the conservatives find them
selves in a very forlorn and helpless condition.
The debate on the bill for the disestablish-
ment of the Irish branch Of the State Church
was continued in the House Of Commons on
the 10th instant with much animation. Mr..
Disraeli again opposed the plan Of severance
of the Church, this time by specific resolution.
Mr.. Gladstone canvassed the effect Of the
resolution if adopted, and met it by counter
resolution and division, which resulted in the
rejection of Disraeli's motion and the susten-
ton Of the government by a majority Of ono
hundred and twenty-three votes. Church
establishments are doomed, not in Ireland
only, but in England and Scotland as well
and not all the genius of Disraeli can save
them.

REsuscrTATIoy. Science might have been
benefited IL the manipulation Of the body Of
Gerald Eaton had been carried little further,
just enough further TO have told us the state of
the cervical vertebre and Of the spinal mar
row where enclosed by those bones. From
the fact that certain vital phenomena were
manifested not directly due to the electric
force we are inclined to believe that the man
might have been resuscitated If the parts re-
ferred to had been uninjured. Their injury IL
was, perhaps, that rendered life impossible.
It would, at least, have been instructive to
know this, yea or nay; for if the communica-
tion was interrupted there the failure Of the
experiment does not put future success out Of
question.

The Fashions In Paris and I'm New York.
Our sprightly fashions correspondent details
in the Paris letter which we publish to-day
the information acquired during recent visits
to Fancy and Taste, those influential relatives
Of Fashion. While Fancy delighted In model
spring costume, consisting Of bright green
faille skirt, with founce of chantilly at the
bottom, pannier of two founces rounded, very
full behind and looped with green rosettes, an
alms-pouch chatelaine, q square bodice, high
lace jacket, with falling sleeves and enamel
jewels, rivalling those for which the Japanese
are famous, Taste was jubiant over the failure
of Longchamps, the return Of cashmeres, put
on in peplum style across the back, and new
fanchon trimming for hats and toquet drapery
with these cashmeres. The Van Dyck red, an
Alencon ruff, the Diana toquet and the Canovs
headdress are described, together with other
novelties adopted by Fashion herself. The
letter concludes with description Of toilet
lately presented, enclosed in large ebony
egg, with silver rims and silver edges, by q
bankers son to bankers daughter.

Fancy and Taste preside over the spring ccs~

pendence the bellies Of New York have now
fairly established their right to modify and

make, iu public on Broadway and at church,
a more liberal display Of brilliant toilets than
their Partisan sisters; but at least the baohe-
lors, who have no milliners' and mantuamakers'
bills to pay, cannot complain Of this custom,
which contributes so much toward enlivening
both church and street. American a6gdntes
do not feel constrained TO conform to the strict
sumptuary law that seems to oblige the ladies

LEARNINe THE TRADE.-When the war
began our generals had to learn the trade, and
as the beginners blundered they were cast
aside and later comers profted by their
experience. Grant was, fortunately for him,
one of the later comers. Now in another
sphere he has to learn another trade; but the
difference is that he cannot be cast aside for a
blunder. He Is sure Of the place for four
years, and he will learn the trade long before
his term runs out.
