PROBABLY THERE ARE NO THREE MEN In
Washington upon whom more important
public duties devolve, In reference to public
improvements, than the Superintendent Of
Public Buildings and Grounds, the Architect
OF the Capitol and the Architect Of the Treas
ury buildings, and we also doubt whether
these otiices could be intrusted to abler minds
than those OF Brigadier General Michier, Ed
ward Clark and John Mullet. Evidences Of
their efficiency abound In all directions, In
the paving Of public sidewalks In front Of
Government reservations, land In this connec-
tion we cannot refrain referring to the great

when the Legislature of Maryland, In 1861,
after patient examination into the merits Of
the matter, passed law doing Justice to this
road and to southern Maryland, It was hoped
that the managers OF the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad would have ceased to wage war upon

intoxicated by success, and 10 determined to
do all In its power to cripple all enterprises

The Baltimore Sun, the paper alluded to, has

and 10 a favorite with the people and we
should be slow to believe It could Knowingly
and willfully do anything Injurious to the In.

geneer on the subject of railroads, the Sun
makes very strange statement. It says

that any 10 being done below the point leading

THE MoyENGsT FOR CUBA.

Confirming the int, lligence already given to
the readers of The NEWS in regard to the
movements in this country in aid CT the Cuban
revolution, the New York correspondent. OF the
Philadelphia Ledger writes:
1t is no secret now that within the fortnight
past large quantities Of arms and ammunition
have been sent from this port, oStensibly to
Inagua, but really to certain points in Cuba,
under control of the insurgents. Perhaps it
would be unjust to impute to the customhouse
and other Federal authorities full knowledge
of their real destination, but certain it ls,
none of them went out OF their way to inform
themselves.
The Spanish Consul, it may be added, has
been in CO nmuncation with the representa-
tive of his government at Washington, not
only with reference to the shipments above
mentioned, but to o her vessels which he has
reason to believe are fitting out here on q like
errand. They do say also that there arc de-
tectives here in the interest OF the Jpanlsh
Cove lament commissioned to watch sharply
all suspicious passengers going from here on
the Havana steamers.

The Pail Mall Gazette gives publicity to
prospectus which it is likely the proprietors OF
the proposed periodical preferred to keep out
ouence, however, of the prevailing custom in
England, Of purchasing and selling ready made
sermons. 1t is plan for publishing privately q
weekly magazine containing two sermons suit
able to the occasion, at shilling copy. The
advantage of the system over the usual one OF
selling autographed sermons, which are liable
to be used by several preachers at different
times, and thus expose theirmercenary origin,
small cost and the secrecy with which it could
se conveyed through the mails, are dwelt upon
at some length. 9hore would seem to be no
reason why the Cathedra, as this new pcriodi-
cal is to be called, should not be successful
The morality Of the practice does not appear
to be questioned, US the prospectus remarks
There can be no objection to delivering priu,-
cd sermons beyond the simple one that when
published in the usual way they are supplied
to laity as we'll as clergy and by that means
may possibly be dffuscd among colrsrcga-
tion before they are heard from the pupil
