PO ETRY Y
4 nONILY-BY JOHN q. sAxR.

There's game much In fashion, think ia called
Each,e:
CThongh never have played H. for pleasure or uc,e,
In which, when the cards are Ia certain conditions
The players appear to have changed their positions
And one Of them cries. In confident tone
80 think may venture to goit alone''
While watching the gene lis whim Of the bards
A moral u draw from that skirnish of cards.
And tO fancy he finds In that trivial strife
Some excellent hints Of the battle Of Life;
Where-"hethcr the prize be iibb"n or throne
The winner IL he who can -. 90 It alone"
Avhea great Calico proclaimed that the world
I'm regular orbit was ccasccs-ly whrlcd,
Aud got-not c0nvcrt-for all Of his pains,
Bnt only dcrision and prison and chains,
:" II moves, for all Mat!" WAS his answering tone,
For he knew, like the Enrth, no could go II alone"
When KErLER with intellect piercing afar,
discovered the laws Of each planet and star,
And doctors, who ought to have landed bis name,
Nrdcd his learning and blackcned his fame.
" can maH" he replied 'ril the truth you shall own
For lac iet IN his heart lac could "go 1t alone"
Alas, for the player who idly depends,
In the struggle Of Life, upon kindred Or friends;
Whatever the value Of blessings like these,
They can never atone for ingIorious ease,
Nor comfort the coward who Ands with groan
That his crutcheS have left him to "go Il alone"
There's something, no doubt In the hand You may
hold,
Health family, culture, wit, beauty and gold
The fortunate owner may fairly regard
A. each. IL its way, most excellent card;
Yet the game may bc lost with all these for your own
Cnlcss you've the courage to "go It xlonc.'
III battle or business, whatever the game,
In law Or Ia love- It II ever the same:
In the struggle for power the scramble for pclf
Let this b. your motto: "Rety on yourseif!"
For, whether the prize be Il ribbon Or throne,
The victor IL he who can ''gO It alone"

TIE WEAPON OF To-DAY-Thc knife
with which chivalry now defends its honor
and slays its enemies, says tie Chicago Post,
consists Of stout and heavy bn: short blade
set ut right angles with a handle to which It
is joined, like . letter L. In using it, the
handle is firmly graspcd with the right hand.
the blade of course being then horizontal,
and the blow is delivered from the shoulder,
with deadly force and effect, to be instant.
aneously repeated as often as the case may
demand. As the heaviest blow that man
can deal is in the manner described, it is
easy to see that four and 4 half inch,
sl,arp-pointed. cutting blade, impelled with
the whole force of strong arm and the
weight Of the body, would not stop for any
bone in the human frame, and that single
stroke would be almost certain death. This
was the weapon before which Colonel Crane
fell.

Cuban Independence.

NYw York, August 3.--The Sun as
serts that the Administration of Grant
has opened negotiations With the present
government of Spain for the indepen-
dence of Cuba. General Sickles has
presented the subject to the Minister Of
Foreign Affairs at Madrid. and two bulk '
teleerams have been received at Wash
iugton in consequence.
The proposition Gen. Sickies has laid
before Sersno aud his associates is us
follows:
l. Spain shall recognize the indepen
dsuce of Cuba under the government OF
Cespedes.
2. Cuba shall pay to Spain an indem-
nity for the resignation of the rights
hitherto exercised by the mother coun-
t,y. The amount of this indemnity will
bs specified in the treaty.
3. Indemnity. whether fixed at one
hundred and OF two hundred million, to
be in bonds of the Cuban government,
pyable with interest at the expiration
Of convenient prriod.
4. These bonds to be guaranteed by
the Cuban government, payable with in-
terest at the expiration of certain pc
rod.
A.. These bonds to be guaranteed by
the United States.
5. An armistice to be proclaimed be
tween the patriots and the Spanish troops
inCaba Immediately upon the execution
ofthe treaty; the island is to be evacua-
TED BY the Spanish forces as soon as the
tpaty is ratified by the representatives Of
thGsuban people aud the guarantee oi

The Fifteenth Amendment.

The following States have ratified the
proposed fifteenth amendment to the con-
stitution of the Tinted States
Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Flor
ida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,
Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts,, Michi
gan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska
Nevada, New Hampshire. New York,
North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South
Carolina, West Virginia, aud Wisconsin.
In two of these States, Kansas aud
Nevada, the Legislatures ratified the
amendment as telegraphed, which is said
to have been imperfect, as the second
section was omitted Whether that will
be held to vitiate the ratification is doubt
full If it should be, the Governors of
those States can soon convene the Legis-
latures aud have the amendment ratified.
In Indiana sufficient number of mem
bers of the Legislature resigned to de-
stroy quorum, but the amendment was
ratified by those who remained, and
there is little doubt but the Radical au-
thorities at Washington will hold that
ratification as sufficient As there are
thirty seven States, the ratification OF
twenty eight States is required to consti-
tute the proposed amendment a part of
the constitution. Five more States are
necessary to complete the work. The
reconstruction acts require of Virginia
Mississippi aud Texas that they shall
ratify the amendment before they shall be
re admitted into the Union, and of course
it will be done Vermont and Rhode
Island will also ratify it, thus making
the requisite number. 1t is morally Ger.
tain, therefore, that the amendment will
be declared part of the constitution by
the assembling of Congress in December
