Cabellero De iRodss, who succeeds
Dnlce as Captain General of Cuba, took
so active part IN the Spanish revolution
that when Queen Isabella was dethroned
he was promoted to Lieutenant Gen.
eralcy. The subsequent republican
disturbances in Spain were put down By
him in a manner SO brutal, that he has
the reputation of bold, bloody, and bad
man, but an officer of great energy and
military skill. He is simply soldier,
ami is likely to pay little respect to law
when it stands in the way of his purposes.
The Cubans look for a war of unexampled
fesocity, when he arrives and assumes
command, but it is hardly possible that
he can be worse than some of the sub
ordinate commanders in the interior o.
the island. --a" s1

| Aspecial dispatch dated Washington
June 1, and published in ths New
York Herald. says:
| From Goldsboro, NC, Igot the fol-
lowing to-day: On Saturday morning
last, about seven o'clock, sheriff q s
0olgrove, Of Jones county, while on his
way from his residence to Trenton,
about three miles distant was fred
upon and instantly killed by persons
concealed in the bushes. A mes
gro, who was mounted behind the Sher-
ifps carriage, was also MORALLY wounded
and is since dead. This assassination
is universally condemned by the people;
but in consequence of it a number OF
negroes have been armed as militia, and
under authority OF lazy, are committing
odtrages of the most atrooious nature.
Al state Of affairs similar to that. of Ar
kansas recently, exists. The negroes are
sad to have been instructed by a mems !
Der of the legislature and one of Holden's
detectives ito shoot every suspicious look
ing per- 4 they meet" This detective is
reported to have said, "Two>thirds Of
Jones county shall be laid waste be,
caalse of the Assassination of the sheriff.
La the surrounding country, Colgrove
had the reputation of being most des-
psrate character, being guilty Of several
heinous crimes. As sheriff, he acted al
together Independent, of law, arresting
men without charge or warrant, either
in or out of his county, and Selling and
selling property without execution or
notice. He had been repeatedly warned,
even by men Of his own party, including
his brother, member of the Legislature,
toldesist from such course, or he would
meet such fate as the one which they
now acknowledge he richly deserved. A
terrible state Of affairs exists in the
county, where, also because Of reward
Of four hundred dollars, offered by the |
Governor, for the arrest of the murder
ers, large numbers Of persons have been
on suspicion. COlgrOye was
a Northern man, and was a source of |
both terror and suffering TO both races.

NUMBER 25,
Hard Of Hearing.
A LOVE STORY.

A young Jonathan once courted
the daughter of an old man who
lived "down east" who prOf,ssed to
be deficient III hearing, but forsooth
who was more captious than limited
in hearing, as the sequel will show.
1t was a stormy night in the ides
OF March, If mistake not, when
lightning met lightning and loud
peals OF thunder answered thunder,
that Jonathan sat by the old mans
fireside discussing with the old lady
(his intended mother-in.law) on the
expediency of asking the old mans
permission to marry "Sal." Jona-
than resolved to "pop it" to the old
man the next day; "but," said he,
''as think on the task my heart
shrinks." To be brief, night passed
and by the dawn of another day the
old man was to be found in the barn
feeding his pigs. Jonathan rose
from bed early in the morning, spied
the old man feeding his pigs, and
resolved to ask hlm for Sal.
Scarce had minute elapsed after
Jonathan made his fast resolution
ere he bid the old man good morn
ing" Now JonathaD's heart beat,
now he scratched his head, and ever
and anon gave birth to a pensive
yawn. Jonathan declared he'd as
lief take thirty nine stripes as to ask
the old man. "But," said he aloud
to himself, "however, here goes it,
faint heart never won a fair gal,"-
aud he addressed the old man thus:
Il say, old man, | want to marry
your daughter
'1ou want to borrow my halter.
| would loan it to you Jonathan, but
my son has taken it aud gone Off to
the mlll.'
jonathan, putting his mouth close
to the old mans ear, and speaking
in a dcafening voice, I've got five
hundred pounds of money
The old man stepped back as if
greatly alarmed and exclaimed in a
voice of surprise, you've got five
hundred pounds Of honey. What
in the mischief can you do with So
much honey, Jonathan Why, it is
more than all the neigbborhood have
use for
Jonathan, not yet the victim of
despair, put his mouth to the old
mans ear and bawled out, I've got
gold.'
so have |, Jonathan. and it's the
worst cold | ever had in my life.'-
So saying he succeed a wash up,
BY this time the old lady came up
and having observed Jonathan's un.
fortunate luck, she put her mouth
close to the old mans ear and
screamed like Il wounded YahOo.
'Daddy, l say, daddy, you don't
understand, he wants to marry our
daughter
Old Mani told him that our
calf halter was gone
Old Lady-'Wy, daddy. you can't
understand; he's got gold, he is
richo
Old Man-'lle's got cold and the
itch, ehT 2 So saying the old man
struck at Jonathan with his walking
cane, but happily for Janathan, he
lodged it. Nor did the rage Of the
old man stop ut this, but with angry
countcnance he made after Jonathan
who took to his heels, nor did iona.

builds his hope not on vague expecta-

word of God is worth more than a score
of bright visions or ecstatic experiences.
The late Archibald Alexander, after O
long life of faithful service for God,
found in dying chat all his hope and all
his theology rested on one verse: "Jesus
Christ came into the world to save sim
ners, of whom I am chief"
HAPPINESS. Gratitude for mercies,
patience under trials, congenial society
and the hope of Heaven, will bring us
all the happiness this life can bear. Alb

The language Of the prophecies is ex,

certainty as to the time implies no doubt
as toI the ultimate realization of these
hopes. The rehabilitation of Palestine,
the commencement of commercial rela-
tions with. the world at large, will once
more introduce as momentous question
''the right to the Holy Sepulchre," in
volving the right to the government of
the Holy Land. But the decision will
not depend on the arbitrament Of
helmeted knights, wild enthusiasts or
the indomitable guard. The weapons
of peace will be welded, and the re-
opening of commercial activity in and
about Jerusalem will be the manifesto
4 ton of this great change. .
Will the Israelites consent to return to
Palestine? That remains to be deter
mined. It is not unreasonable, though,
to anticipate that when this field for
business activity actually presents itself,
there will be thousands. of Hebrew pio-
neers to avail themselves of the prospect.
There are hundreds of thousands whose
love and attachment for the Holy Land
Etipe has not dimmed, who will embrace
with avidity the opportunity of emigra-
tion. Their condition as individuals
and as communities would be materially
bettered. Messenger.
