The preposterOus charge against Goethe of
stealing poems from lady, has its exact coun-
terpart in English literary history. After Sher-
idan's comedy of "The Rivals had been pre-
sented with great success, the friends OF a
young woman who had died of a decline at
Bath claimed that the comedy was hers, and
that it had been cOnfided to Sheridan for re-
vision and adaptation to the stage. We be-
lieve Sheridan never took any steps to retute
the charge, except the most decided and salts
factory one of writing THE School for Sean
a dal." The young woman being dead, and 1t
being evident to the dullest vision that the
hand which wrote the last comedy must have
written the first, the story, like the lady, fell
into decline. Sheridan must have made more
than one excellent bon mot upon this arraigu-
ment but, unfortunately, they are not re-
corded,

An evening paper, in copying our remarks
OF yesterday about the project for recognizing
the belgerent rights of the Cuban rebels,
argues that this action ought to be taken by our
Government, for then Ut says) Cuba too may
"buy arms and fit out vessels, and make a
"fairer fight for the independence for which
"she has struggled so gallantly." But it is an
GORGEOUS mistake to suppose that the inde-
pendeuce party of Cuba, in case their belllger-
ent rights were recognized byour Government,
would be permitted to fit out military and
naval expeditions from this country against the
Spanish power in Cuba. In the event of
recognition, we should be just as much bound
as we are now to maintain our neutrality be-
tween the belligerents. There would undoubt-
edly he certain advantages to Cuba in a
recognition of belligerency. For example, the
Spanish Government could not then come here
and build or purchase war-ships, as 1t has
lately done, for service against the belligerent
we had recognized And again, If Cuba had
then privateer like the Hornet on the high
seas, we would not be compelled to deal with
it as we must now do, under the existing state
of our relations. By the recognition of belliger-
ent rights both parties would be placed on
terms of equality; but neither party would
have the right of using our territory as a base
of operations.

In regard to the Spanish gunbOats at this
port, it must be understood that our Govern
ment has not, at any time thus far, instituted
any legal proceedings against them. When
they were seized and temporarily held, in
August last il was by the direct order of the
President, acting under powers which he pos
sesses in such cases. The District Attorney has
doubtless received instructions to govern his
action in any circumstances that may arise;
but thus far his duties have been confined to
such conferences as may have been necessary
with Admiral Godon, under whose surveillance
the gunboats were put. 1t is quite possible
that when these gunboats are ready to take
their departure for Cuba, and when the Spanish
Minister demands their release from the super
vision maintained over them by our naval
authorities the Government will avoid ANY
further direct responsibility in the premises by
turning the whole matter over to the Courts
and providing that the settlement of the ques-
tons involved shall be determined according
to the legal forms for such cases made and
provided. In that event, District-Attorney
Pierrepont may be able to save the Govern
ment from disagreeable Spanish complication

We never knew any one to achieve notoriety
more cheaDly than the Bostonian who pulled
the nose of another BOstOnian some two
months ago. The incident itself was tele-
graphed all over the country, which at once
made the whole American people acquainted
with the name of the belligerent; then we
had an account of his incarceration; subse-
quently we got the details of the trial, with
the thrilling speeches on both sides; then,
after his conviction and condemnation, we
learned of the desperate efforts to get the
sentence relaxed and the prisoner released /;
then we heard of the popular agitation against
the infexible Judge; and now at last the
country must be delighted with a dispatch
from Boston, announcing that yesterday fore
noon Curtis, who pulled Churchll's nose, was
released from Jail, having served ont the term
of two months to which he was condemned
for his outrage against law and. manners.
Curtis deserves the fame he has achieved as
the last man to give Boston new sensation.

Mr.. Gladstone has decided against the release
of the Fenians, and in the n.me OF great
country has probably done mean act. 1t Is
charged. we know, that the Irish have made
frequent threats at their meetings, and that
their LOYALTY is none of the best; but on
the other hand it Is quite credible that
some of the Fenian prisoners have been
subjected to cruelty, while upon the whole
the meetings have been as orderly as any
similar class of English gatherings. Saving
Mr.. Moore and one or two others, whose
denunciations of English rule In Ireland are
scarcely as cOntemptuous and indignant as
some Of Mr.. Brght's, we know OF no IRISH
leader who is open to the charge OF having
stirred bad blood. Even Mr.sMoOre, burning
as some of his words have been, is not willing
to be counted intractable, and the Parla-
mentary leader of the Irish, the ODonoghue
has counseled faith in the good disposition OF
the Government, and, at all events, modera-
ton. The petty conclusion to which the Gov
eminent of John Bright and Mr.. Gladstone
have arrived is, therefore, all the more sur
prising. 1t required but a small stretch OF
concession to let the FeDians 90. In British
eyes they deserved punishment for treason; but
how much punishment have British statesmen
earned in the worlds eyes by their treason
to Ireland This is always to be remembered
when our English friends compliment them
selves upon merciful inclinations yet fall
short of doing what is polite no less than
charitable 1t is excellent to have a
giants strength, says Shakespeare; to use
it like" giant is not always
excellent, though it is certainly English. Now
that the Irish are refused their petition, the
English are all the more bound TO do justice
to them on the land question. No half measure
will satisfy the aroused conscience of England,
to say nothing of the temper and need Of
Ireland.
