Mr. Pratt, the newly elected U. S. Senator,
from Indiana, says 1.-The people demand
that all schemes of internal improvement and
corporate enterprises, however plausible they
may seem, which look to the government for
aid by way of subsidies, be postponed while
this mountain Of debt continues to cast its
shadow over the nation.

aid concludes an article on Cuban affairs as
follows:
"The whole tenor of the news goes to
show the steady decay of the power OF
Spain in Cuba and the increasing enthu-
siasm of the Cubans and their advance in
the practices of war; As the rainy season
is now CLOSE at hand, when the roads in
the deep virgin soil of the topics become
almost impassible to man or beast, we may
expect lul in military movements. Look
ing upon the present time as the close OF
the first campaign we cannot but recognize
the fact that Spain, in the period of her
greatest resources, has not been able to
suppress revolution commenced by peo-
pie utterly ignorant of military organjza>
ton and maneuvre, without arms or NUM-
tions Of war and inspired only by a feeling
of hatred to their oppressors; and after
seven months of apprenticeship in war the
Cubans remain masters of the field in one
half of the Island. The rainy season will
propably be spent by both parties in organ
izing for the next campaign and in the &C
cumulasion Of supplies. Meanwhile the
Cuban agents are spreading in every di-
rection, and new complications in diplom-
acy and international relations are spring
ing up everywhere.

Passage of the Irish Church Bill.

TIE gratifying intelligence that the
house of peers has passed the Irish church
bill Will be more welcome to the friends of
Irelaad than any news that has yet flashed
across the ocean. Although the bill is in
suf6cihnt in many respects. it is still a long
step IN advance 1t has forever sundered
tha connection of the church and state in
Irelaod and leaves the Irish people free to
worship God according to the dictates of
their own censcienees. 1t is but step In
the march of reforms that are bound 20
follow in It's wake 1t viii encourage the
friends of Irish reform to still further exer
tions on behalf of the unhappy Isle, and
we trust they will not rest until Ireland is
IS free and as independent as any other
nation on the face of the globe.

ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO BURN SMITH &
RANKIN's S STORE. Again on last Saturday
night an attempt was made to burn the
orc of j. RANKIN & Co e., at Mishicott -
About O'Clock on Sunday morning the
fire was discovered by clerk who was
sleeping in the second story Of the store.
He Immediately gave the alarm, but before
the fire olld be extinguished, the grea
part of the goods in the store, were burned,
or so injured as tobe nearly worthle IS.
The fle is supposed to have been set
by sone uplulg vagat ond, who piled a
quantity of rubbish under one of the cor
ners, set fire to it, and then made his es
cape. 1t is supposed that the noise made
in escaping, awoke the clerk up stairs.
But the most bold and bareiaced act OF
the iurgar or bufliar, reuain yet to be
told. Ira SMITH, upon being aroused
irom sleep by the alarm Of fire, hastily
threw Oh part Of his clothing, and rush
ed to the store, leaving his vest in his
bedroom. And when he returned to his
house after the fire was extingui,hed at the
store, he found that said vest bad been re
lieycd of watch, and about $3.50 in green
backs. The burglar had paid his bedroom
a visit while he was putting out the fire.
No clue has yet been obtained of the 6end
who for the sake of few dollars in money,
sought to burn building, in which were
sleeping one or two human beings. The
country seems to be just uow overrun with
burglars. VS. recommend that they be
caught in the act, and shot upon the
premises. This method will save trouble
aud expense of putting in Jail, as also save
the criminal the trouble and labor of sav-
ing out. a#f
We would suggest to IRA, that in the
future be had better deposit his cash in
our jacket pocket for safe keeping for no.
body would ever be foul enough to imagine
that we had any money in our clothes.

BROKE JA1L.-On last Saturday night,
the man who was charged with breaking
into JOS. MANN & Co., store, broke out
of Jail, by the aid of a confederate from
the outside Four of the solid inch iron
bars of the window Of the cell in which he
was imprisoned were sawed off, and pried
our, hole about 10 by Ia inches through
which he made his exit. The man called
himself CHARLES WILLIAMS, which is
doubtless an assumed name In another
column of this paper will be found an offer
of $50 reward by our sheriff, for his arrest,
giving particular description of the fellow.
No blame can be attached to the sheriff
for the escape, fer the prisoner was locked
in one of the best and strongest cells in the
jail and had he not received help from one
or more of the gang to which he no doubt
belongs, he could not have made his es>
cape. He leaves us, probably with poor
opinion of the hospitality which We extend
to strangers. Two Rivers suited him bet>

Police Justice SHOVE, that he was enter
tanned at that town By a young lady,
whose house he, for prudential reasons,
left every morning before day His
high toned honor would not allow him to

He left with sheriff MULHoLLAND, bis
revolver and some other valuables for safe
keeping, which he no doubt can have by
calling for, at the sheriff Office, in person.
