PROF. STOWE ON THE SPANISH REVOLUTION.
Professor Stowe of Hartford has been in
Spain some weeks since the late revolution
there, and the Hartford Courant publishes an
interesting account of his observations ard
impressions. Professor Stowe is strongly in
clined to believe the new government will be
republican. He says the anh-monarchical
sentiment is aggressive and making converts
daily; and that Barcelona, Malaga aud Cadiz
are as democratic as Boston, Hartford and
Cincinnati. At any rate, all Spain is agreed
that the Bourbons shall never rule the country
again. The religious future of the country is
very hopeful, and already there is practical
freedom in religious matters, and Protestant
and Jewish churches are being erected in great
numbers. Professor Stowe had abundant
opportunity OF observing the leaders of the
revolution, and describes Prim as short, wiry
man, with singularly handsome face, and
small, white hand, strikingly recalling those
early portraits of the first Napoleon, taken be-
fore he became Emperor and fat. Serrano is
taller man, more strongly built, and with
heavy, almost dull, face, but impressing every
one who comes near him with the conviction
that he is thoroughly honest and trustworthy.
1t was plain to be seen everywhere that Prim
is the popular idol.

SURRATT AND THE LINCOLN CoNsPIRAcY.-A
correspondent OF the Sunday Herald states
that Surratt has prepared a full and explicit
statement of the conspiracy which resulted in
the death of President Lincoln, In this he
and others were in plot to abduct Mr.. Lin
coin. He declares that assassination was nev-
er spoken Of to him, and was not agreed on by
Booth and Payne until the night it took place.
He further insists on the entire innocence of
his mother, maintains that every effort was
made to keep the abduction plot ron her
knowledge, and says she was simply the victim
of unfortunate circumstances and the machi-
nations ofthe witness Wechman, whose EVIL
dence, it will be remembered, caused Mrs. Sur
erything be knows, the good, bad, and indf
ferent, and make oath to it. He feels, it is
said, that it will be so impartial and straight
forward that it win be believed.

THE VALUE OF GREENBAcK.-Some pc =
pie think the true value of a greenback
is found by deducting the premium on gold
from 100. This, of course is an error. Take
the price OF gold as divisor, par, or 100 as The
dividend, and the quotent will give the gold
value of the greeDback. For example, gold is
about 135. For example, gold is about 135
Dividing this by 100, we find that o dollar
greenback was worth about "a cents in gold.
-.He -EIehange.
The principle is correct, but the illustration,
probably by inadvertence, is not in conformity
with it. 135 should of course be the divisor.

means. When we decide to keep these twenty
unpromising specimens, we deny to twenty
other lives of average good quality the chance
be.
Modern treatment of crime has resnlt,d
very much like modern treatment of disease.
In old times diseases killed people, and so
disease exterminates itself, and only tbe
soundest and strongest survived in the struc-
gle OF life. Modern science has found how 10
cure sickly people, so diseases multiply end
ramify, and while the average of life has
heightened, yet as population is principally
reinforced through the parentage of un-
healthy persons, the average OF health is
greatly diminished. Our late war disclosed
the most alarming fact that not twenty five
per cent. of our young men from eighteen to
forty-five are healthy.
1t has been said, though Froude questions
it, that 72,OOO persons perished during the
reign OF Henry VIII. Most OF them by the
hands of the executioner suffered for theft
and petty crimes. Now don't accuse me of
justifying this wholesale way of thinning
mankind. do not justify it. do not ius-
tify the cholera or the diptheria, or the South
American earthquake, or the invasion of the
Huns. But while / stand in blank perpexi-
ty before these latter cruelues, failing to see
any moral discrimination in either of them,
mere glimmer Of good result if not good 2ur-
pose, seems to throw twilight of intellgibil-
ity around the former. OF these 1900 per-
sons doubtless the greater part say 10000
were veritable scoundrels big and little. 1t
was awful cruel to kill the poor wretches, but
il men are to be killed by shipwrecks, epi.
denies, and wars, that never Disseminated
that could see between good and bad, one
might respect a calamity that seemed to have
rough way of taking off the rascas, and
leaving the true men to grow and breed.
Among the causes that made the age of
Elizabeth so glorious in good and great men,
and the English race at its best strain of vir-
tue at the very epoch when it was begetting
new and to-be-famous people on this side
OF the water, one may be, that bluff Harry,
whom we have late discovered to be states
man, determined in his high way that 10000
thieves should not have the chance to be our
ancestors. T.

Her port bulwarks are gone, also Il life

the whole, the ship was still able to have
kept TO sea, however, we are informed
that, as she is in port everything will be
put to rights in the course of a few

to Colon. The Tyne leaving the

The "Iasmanian's" passengers presen-
ted a handsome letter OF thanks to cap
tain Leeds, and the officers and Engineers,
and subscribed 935 to be distributed
among the crew.
The Chief Officer Mr.. Wilton, and the
head carpenter MIR. Miles, who went
through our Hurricane of the 29th Octo-
her 1867, both slate that the late Hurri-
cane was equally fierce, violent, and fear
ful-and it is to be feared that some
sailing Ships must have fallen a prey TO
the Storm.
The R. M. S. Ship "Neva'' which left
81. Thomas on the 18th instant, at 3 P.
NJ. it is feared would drive right into the
late Hurricane-and we hope she will
come out of the battle as successfully as
the "TaSmanian". AS the "Neva'' would
be in better trim, and is a powerful new
Ship, no fears are entertained about her.
The ''TaSmanian" brought rs PasSen-

THE "TASMANIAN" IN A TERRIFIC

On the 18th, 18th and 10th instant the
Barometer went down IA line and a half
here, and the wind was call round the
compass" many times a day, therefore it
was surmised that there was bad weather
in our ncighbourhood and thankful we
are at having again escaped it.
When the morning of the 18th dawned,
without the signal of ga steamer east" as
the "Tasmanlan" was expected, and is a
regular ship, fears were entertained by
many that she must have mel heavy wea-
ther, which turns out to have been tie
case. She arrived last night al s o'clock,
and reports that on the night of the 18th
and morning of the 18th Instant, about
400 miles to the eastward of us, she en-
.0untered a terrific hurricane. The Ba-
r~osoeter began to go down about 10 o. m.
14thH wind from the east, and at II q m.
18th, II had fallen to % 80, the wind
having gone from east to north and west.
The ship had a fearful struggle with the
tempest, being for hours almost on her
beam ends, but by the mercy of God,
the strength of the ship, and the able
management and strenuous excrtions of
her well known commander (Leeds), her
Officers, Engineers and men, the fine
ship "Tasmanian" was preserved, we hope
TO make many voyages yet to and from
England and France. AS might be sup

IT is our painful duty to record the
sudden death by apoplexy on Saturday last,
of one of our most useful citizens-Mr. H.
M. F. de Silva.
He filled with much credit to himself
during the long period of 20 years, the ar
duous duties of Grave digger, Clark to the
Lutheran Church, and one of the principal
teachers in our public school.
By his naturally good and kindly man
ners, he not only won the esteem of all
who knew him, but more especially that
of those, with whom his official duties
brought him in contact.
He was a most devoted son, brother and
parent, and the large procession which
followed his remains to their last resting
place, testified to the general and we'll
merited esteem in which he was held.
