these negotiations are not successful. he thought,
the feeling in favor of Cuban independence will be
so great among the people that the Government
would be compelled to bow to 1t and recognize the
Cuban as belligerentss.
1t is stated that John Bigelow, former Minister
to France, has accepted the editorial chair of the
New York Times.
CHICAGO, July 26.-The Iribune's Washington
special says: The result of Boutwell's admins
tration appears in a proposition from a German
house at Frankfort to loan the Government three
hundred millions at Eve per cent, which the Sec
rotary of course is obliged to decline. He thinks
we may. within a year, borrow all the money we
want at four, or certainly four and a half per cent.
and will probably recommend sucb a loan next
twenties. A private letter from a well-advised
source in England expresses the opinion that a
loan at four and a half per cent. could easily be
negotiated within six months.
New YORK. July 28-The following is furnished

Boston, July 2S.-In a speech made at a banquet
in honor of laying the French cable, Sir James
Anderson said he had been told certain opposition
had been made to landing the cable. 1t might be

ing the hesitation of the Ministry, a conflict between
the Peers and the people is inevitable, and the
crisis will be delayed only from q knowledge of
the momentous character of the undertaking. 1t
is rumored that q disruption Of the Cabinet may
ensue.
New YORK, July 22.-The Herald's special says:
The die is cast and the struggle has begun. The
Lords and the country have finally come to an
issue, in consequence of the abrubt termination of
the debate last night. Intense excitment prevailed
among political circles during the day. The
Cabinet has been in session all the afternoon. and
reports are afoat that great Discussions exist in the
Council. Gladstone, Bright and Low, and all the
strongest members, insist on an immediate with
drawal of the Irish Church bill, on the ground that
obstinate resistance of the Peers to its principles
renders a direct conflict between the two Houses of
Parliament inevitable. Some members of the
Cabinet. Lord Clarendon among the number, advo-
Gated more moderate proceedings, such az letting
the bill take the usual course and only abandoning
it at the last moment. The insulting language
used by Salisbury towards Gladstone. joined to
the large majority cast against the preamble. how
ever, shows any attempt to effect a compromise is
useless. There is but little doubt that Gladstone
will carry a withdrawal of the bill Immediately.
This will be followed by a speedy adjournment,
the calling of another session in August, and the
creation of a large batch Of new Peers sufficient in
number to overcome the present Tory majority.
Piacards have been posted on the walls to-day
headed Shall the people or the Lords Rnle ?" and
calling q mass meeting at Arundel Hall for to-
morrow. This will be followed by a monster open
air demonstration. Rumors are aloat that the
Duke of Cambridge has openly expressed his indig-
nation at the radicalism shown by the Ministry,
and hopes the Queen will refuse to sanction tie
coercion Of the Peers.
The crisis promises well to open a ball to sween
with reforms all England, commencing with the
virtual destruction of hereditary legislation.

A Mr.. Shannon, a native OF
the Emerald Isle, born in the
year 1749; making him in this
good year OF our Lord 1859,
one hundred and twenty years
old, passed through Scarcely,
Arkansas, on foot on his way
to Texas. Colonel Mosely,
with whom he stayed on Sat
urday night, says he has the
appearance in the face, at a
glance, of being hale and stout
for his age-his hair and beard
are as white as cotton, both OF
which he wears very long,
which gives him a grave ap-
pearance. He is a man of fine
appearance, quite intelligent
and very corteous gentle
man-indeed, the sine old Irish
gentleman" lie is a brick and
stone mason by occupation,
and carries his trOwel with
him to do any little job Of
work he may meet with while
on his way to Texas.-E1-

The Chicago Tribune tells
the story of a miss in that city
city who married a fast young
man, without the knowledge of
her parents, who had forbidden
him the house, she keeping the
secret till she could do so no
longer a child was born to her;
she repented, and was divorced;
and within a month was mar.
ried again, with the approval
of her parents. The Tribune
concludes: "Thus, within four.
teen months, a Chicago Repre-,
sentative of the female upper
tendon has undergone all the
various stages of courtship,
stolen meetings, marriage, ma
ternity, divorce, widowhood,
and a second husband. Such a
summary Of incidents has rarely
been equaled in or out of CHI
cago.".

SENATOR CHANDLER, who was
present when Senator Ross had
an interview with the Presi-
dent, of which such a sensation
was made says that the con-
versation on each side was in
a very low tone, and with no
apparent excitement; that
when it closed, Ross took leave
in a most courteous manner, to
which the President responded
as courteously. 1t is under
stood that the President de-
clined. to do what the Senator
desired, but beyond an earnest
presentation Of the case on one
side and the refusal on the
other, and all couched in prop
er language, there is no foun-
dation for the story in circula-
iton.

The work of retrenchment
still goes bravely on in the
Treasury Department. A dis
patch to the Cincinnati Ga
zette last week says:
The Secretary of the Treas
ury to-day discharged ninety
women clerks from the Regis
ter's Office, and will soon dis
charge sixty more. This Bu-
reau was filled with unneces.
sary women by Cooper and
Jeffries just before the close of
their day Of authority for the
purpose, apparently, of embar-
:assing whoever might be the
lew Secretary. The places of
hose discharged will not be
lied, as there is plenty Of
orce for current work, and the
secretary will refuse all appli-
cations for appointments.

The great men of the world
have been workers. Demos.

blacksmith. Arkwright was a
barber. In our own country,
Ben. Franklin was a printer,
and was not born with a gold
spoon in his mouth. He wan
dered about the streets of Phil

OF bread under his arm, but
kings sat at his feet and listen.

Jackson was so obscure that
it is not known where he was
born, or whether he had any
parents. Clay was the mill boy

his mothers bowl with meal
Tom Corwin was a wagon

newsboy. Men who have thus
made their mark are working

How Train Becamea a WOman's

How Train Became a WOman's
.o Rights Man.
A little incident occurred
while Train was in Australia
which will illustrate one phase
of his character. A possible
president was about to be born
to him, and George Francis
was unwilling to spoil the
child's prospects of succeeding
Washington by forcing it to
catch its first streaks of sun
shine among the savages Of
Oceanica. 1t was mid winter,
and a ninety days voyage, but
Train suddenly shipped his
wife for Boston. The lady was
alone and the voyage was a
tempeStuous one; but, after
narrowly escaping Shipwreck,
she landed safely in this coun.
try. Here the child was born,
and-it aoas q girl! This mis-
take as to sex, however, will
have no material effect on the
child's presidential prospects,
if Train and Mrs. Cady Stanton
succeed in their attempted
Revolution ackard8 Month,

Brains VS.. Labor.

DIdtho we LaOOAs
The following beautiful pass
age is by the Rev. j. +. Corn
ing. 1t will be appreciated by
all "brain workers."
"While l sit at my study ta-
BILE with my pen in hand, the
fingers moving with tardy pace
at the beckon of brain, / hear
right below my window, in the
adjacent field, the monotonous
ring of a laborer's hoe upon
the corn hills. While he hoes,
he Whistles hour by hour till
the clock strikes twelve, and
then with favenous appetite
repairs to his bountiful yet SIM
pie meal, only to resume his
task again and pursue it to the
setting of the sun. AS | stood
at the window watching his
toll, and turned again to my
pen and paper, 1 asked myself
how it happened that the man
with the hoe will labor his
eight or ten hours a day with
less fatigue than the man with
his pen will toll his three or
four. Hugh Miller was a great
worker with the shovel and
pick-would have made a good
hand in slateNquarry, in grad
ing a railroad, or digging a ca
nal. But one night, as you
know, he shot himself lin a fit
of nervous fever. What was
the difference between the
great geologist and the man
with the hoe whistling under
my window? Simply this, the
former was a worker of brain,
and the latter a worker of
muscle. Let this man with the
hoe lay down his husbandry
for a little while and set him
self to studying one of the
stalks of corn, or the chemis-
try of one of those hills Of
soil, and he very likely would
soon learn what it is to lose
ones appetite, and hear the
clock strike nearly all the
night hours in feverish wake
fulness. And thus we get at
a great organic law of our be-
ing, to.wit: that brain work
subtracts vitality from the
fountain, while muscle work
only makes draughts upon one
of the ramifying streams of
life. tt is estimated by scien.
tific observers that a man will
use up as much vital force in
working his brains two hours
as he will in working his mus
cles eipht.n

IT has been discovered re.
Gently in France that oak wood
is almost as well adapted for
the tanning of hides as the bark,
and that almost any kind will
answer the purpose. The prin-
cipal point to be attended to is
to make use of wood cut when
it is filled with sap, as thereby
the greatest amount of tanning
is secured. The wood may be
used without the bark, or wood
and bark may be ground up to.
gether and applied in the ordi-
nary method.
