1t gives us the purest satisfaction to learn
that great number of noble British merchants
who in various ways aided the Confederacy, by
lending their money and by fitting out blockade
runners have come to insolvent grief and
have been recorded in the ignOminious Gazette.
The great London house Of Isaac Campbell d
Co., which went largely into the blockade
running business, and in various ways com
forted our Rebels, has tOppled over to an awful
tune and has been entirely ruined by its be-
nevolent good-nature. If our States lately in
rebellion should conclude to try rebellion once
more as some of their ardent spirits desire, it
is hardly probable that they would be able to
raise much money OF many ships in Europe
We all know what the feelings of burnt
child are toward the fire.

BRITISH AMERICA.

There are unreckoned possibilities in the
| immense territory north of us. Viewing this
fact, the Governor of Canada made n remark
able speech the other day on the Union of British
America. Lord Bury, in Parliament, not
long ago, said that the navigation of British
America needed improvement but in three
places in order that ship might be taken
from England to the foot of the Rocky
Mountains. Other Engishmen have been
speculative enough to agree with the
noble lord that the future communication
between England and India China and
Japan, would be by way of Canada, the
Rocky Mountains, and the Frazer River 1t
is in accord with this prediction that a scheme,
provoked by the completion of our inter
oceanic highway, has been revived in England.
AS far back as 1850 this scheme proposed " to
extend the broad belt Of England in the
temperate zone round the world" by a rail-
road through Canada, the Red River settle
mcnt, and the Hudson Bay hunting grounds,
to the Pacific, route calculated to be 800
miles shorter than our own, and, in
the Judgment of its advocates, more
practicable and less costly. This British
American highway to the sea would open up n
new intermediate country, which, it is said,
comprises some of the most fertile tracts In
the world, and have its Pacific terminus in the
natural and admirable harbOr near Fort Lang
ley at VancOuvers Island. Projects of emf
grafton, and of the utilization of convicts, have
been associated with this prospectus; and by
those who see most in it, it is held that Brit
ish America, what with its broad water
courses, its fertile acres, and its great
railroad, has in itself the elements of vast
enterprise.
Therefore many Englishmen object to the
guarantee by England of the Sl,jOO00O with
which Canada is to purchase the territories of
the Hudson Bay Company. They believe that
Canada can well trust TO her exhauslless flu
ture, rather than borrow from the mother
country anything but its population. The pur-
chase money secures all but comparatively
small reserve of the great hunting grounds, and
yields up TO immigration and labor what before
was jealousy kept as a preserve for wild beasts.
The ambition of the Canadians is to extend
their dominion from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
and the possession of the new territories en-
courages them. Though to the further north
of the hunting grounds nothing invites the set
tier, yet the southern and fertile belt just
above Minnesota has the capacity of receiving
population equal to that of England, and is
upon the proposed highway between Canada
and British Columbia. What change might be
wrought in this quarter by continental enter
prise such as we have described may be best
conceived by the fact that when the Duke
of Newcastle first brought the pro-
ject of purchase before the English
Commons. Minnesota had but 1000 inhabitants,
whereas twenty years after, and about present
writing, it has 100000 inhabitants or more. 562

Groton, Mass, is the homo of Secre-
tary Boutwell,, and to its rural shades Gen.
Grant retired last Thursday, being "the first
president who ever passed a night in the
"town." But poor Gen. Grant, instead of being
allowed TO walk about and examine the cows
and the sheep. and hear the birds keeping their
Musical Jubilee, was compelled to attend n
reception and to "shake hands with over
"three thousand persons.' 1t is a remarkable
evidence of his power of endurance that after
this he was able to take the train for Worccs-
ter, where there was another reception" the
hand shaking, however, being limited
Ever since we have had any distinguished
men they have been forced to go through this
ordeal. Some Of them have endeavored to
compromise by giving two fingers instead of
the whole hand but for daring this innova-
ton Members of Congress have ere this lost
their beloved seats. If great man should
put his hand behind him and refuse to shake
at all, we, the people, might in time forgive
him; but we all resent the two fingers, and
expect the whole five or none. Yet, when one
comes to notice the mechanical way in which II
lion shakes hands, the regular pump-handle

of honor or entertainment, whichever it may

TIE CURAN PROBLRM

The Government has not yet found cause or
occasion to cOncede to the Cubans belligerent
rights. Such is the substance of an important
declaration made to-day from Washington.
The authorities there, it is said, have no proof
positive that the Cubans have been able
to hold q single town, tor any official
advice that the opposing forces in Cuba
have ever met in the open field. There is q
further avowal that while the Spanish Minister
has been frankly told that the United States
sympathize with Cuba, he has also been assured
that they hold themselves bound to enforce the
legal neutrality. Our authorities have been
selling surplus arms TO all buyers without ask
ing questions, and we suppose that Cubans and
Spaniards have alike had chances to buy
The course of the Government has been evil
IDENTIFY inspired by caution and fairness. But
we have to take serious exception to one of
the statements which have been made appa-
renty with semi-Oflical assumption. Surely
our Government knows better than to have
said or to have quite believed that
neither of the parties in the island have fought
in the open field Cuban, Spanish, and Ameri-
can testimony has been given of the fact that
they have fought battles, severe enough con-
sdering the nature of the country and the
forces on both sides The opinion is general,
grounded on the best evidence that can be
extracted from Cuba, that the encounters
in the Sierra Cubitas, at Las Tunas, and
lately at Puerto Padre, rose TO the rank of
battles. We grant that the Government may
have no official advice Of this fact-but has it
any to the contrary 2-has it, in fact, any
specifically official advice whatever that we
may take as authoritatve2 We have no
agent with the Cubans, and it appears to be
not safe to believe the Spaniards In
short, it is very fair question whether the
Government has any agent in Havana capable
of giving it certain or trustworthy information
of the Cuban revolution. What is so far limited
to us only seems to show that the informants
of the Government are either not sufficiently
self-possessed, or are not enabled by circum-
stances to find ont what to believe.

that the Coal Company of Vancouver had raised

suffer financially and induStrially, and, to some
extent, Loyalty, if we are to value such pleas
for annexation as come to us through its jour
nails True it is that great many settlers in
Columbia are Americans, and a great many OF
its Britons are loyal but so long as the colo
nies there have but half-life, the proximity OF
the laws, institutions, and prosperity OF
the United States will be tempting.
British America has but one remedy
for the desire of annexation, and that
is to rely upon herself to awake at
once to the enterprise of opening up great
part of this continent, and to grow as we have
grown. She can thereby center the attention
of her millions on her own empire and destiny.
But we fear that under the slow going
methods of Great Britain, her growth will not
be fast enough

As a consolation for all women who believe or
fancy that they are kept in too limited sphere,
we are happy TO announce that at the Munich
pal Celebration of the Fourth of July in BOs-
ton the dear old Declaration will be read
by young lady, and very prettily, no doubt,
will she read it. 1t has been objected that the
assertion that call men B." are equal, will be an
unpleasant one for ga female" to enunciate;
but it must be noticed that the word "men
is here used generically, and comprehends men,
women, and children. No argument grateful
to the minds of the Women's Club can be
fairly deduced from this Boston innovation
for we believe that the reading of the Decla-
ration has often been confded in that city to
older pupils from some of the higher schools.
Yet we congratulate the Hub on having adj

American ladies of wealth and beauty are
in demand among princes Prince Luis of
Bourbon. in defiance of Church and State,
took to his heart in presence of city police
magistrate the daughter of an American mer-
chant in Havana. Now, it is Prince Henry dc
Bourbon who has blessed himself by marrying
Miss Payne, an heiress. These are evidences
that the Bourbons learn something. Prince
Henry, being a cousin of Queen Isabella, will
not abandon his claims to the throne of Spain
by reason of becoming Americanized. This
shows that the BOurbOns do not forget every
thing. Prince Henry's American wife gives
him an additional claim to any throne worth
having.

In all judicial tribunals, confidential communi-

In all judicial tribunals, confidential communi-
cations made to physicians are or should be
privileged, as well as statements made to clergy
men and lawyers. Physicians are placed in a
peculiarly porplexing position, because most OF
them are already under oath to keep the secrets
of their patients; but this oath is of no value
if doctor is to be summoned and forced by q
sLillful examination to reveal private matters
by refusing to answer questions. In the Craig
Sprague trial, which has created some excite
ment in Chicago, questions were put to doc
tor intended to impeach the chastity of the
plaintiff; but the witness refused to answer,
was fined $2j for contempt, and then sent to
jail. Of course, his persistence was more dam
aging to the plaintiff than direct answer
would have been; and, if privileged statements
cannot be protected more efiectually, the rule
of law had better be abolished altogether. The
result would probably be an increase OF disease
and of infanticide, and the abolition OF the HIP
pocratic oath; but if a doctor is to be fined
and imprisoned for refusing to answer interroga-
tories which he has sworn not to answer, all
confidential communications with him will be
at an end.

We are sorry to read that subscriptions for
the monument to Lamartine, in Paris, come in
slowly, and that the sum now needed, it is
feared, will hardly be obtained. This is not
creditabe either to France or to the French
Government Whatever NAV have been the
foibles and failures of Lamartine, personal or
political, his is and must continue to be a
great literary name in France; his poetry is of
n higher order than that to which French
literature is accustomed, and even his histories
may be read with pleasure if not with conf
dence. During his last years he had the mis-
fortune to fall into comparative neglect, but
it was shared 10y every first-rate man of letters
in France. lie would have been surer of a
monument if he had lived in the age of Louis
the Fourteenth.

very remarkable thing has recently hap
pened in Xenia, Ohio, from which we shall not
be surprised if great consequences follow. A
druggist was tried for selling liquor on Sunday.
He protested that he was innocent, and that, TO
the best of his belief the prosecuting witness had
not even been in his shop on the evening when
the offense was said to have been committed.
An unbelieving jury. however, found him
guilty, and the virtuOus apothecary, as might
be imagined, was bothered to know how it all
happened. The truth came to light in most
unexpected manner. The druggist fell into
cairvoyant state, and the scenes of that fatal
Sunday were all reproduced in spiritual vision.
A dim and shadowy form seemed to enter the
shop, and finally burst forth a clear and we'll
defined picture, " and the uoice Of the prosecuting
"tuiReSs, coming in, asked for tobacco !" 81 went
" forward to waitupon him." continues the perse-
cuted shopkeeper, and asked, How much 2
"' Fire cents trOrth,' he replied. He received
the tobacco, and Immediately left the store"
This ought to be conclusive. Here IS direct
testimony from the unseen world the simplicity
and realism of which possess all the subllmlty
of truth. If there is justice in Ohio, the Aenla
druggist will be recompensed by some sort OF
public testimonial for his undeserved suffer-
| ings and, if evidence of a similar character
can be generally introduced into our courts, we
need hardly say that the administration Of
! justice win be immensely facilitated.

We have no doubt the Fire Commissioners,
if not the general public, will be sadly giieved
to learn that Mayor Hall and Controller Con-
molly decline to act as members of the Board
of Estimates of the Fire Department. The
MAYORS chief objection to serving seems
to be that himself and the Controller,
being a minority of the Board, could not them
selves determine the estimates in case all the
Fire Commissioners should happen to disagree
with them. We find relief in being able to
coincide with our facetiOus Mayor in the opinn-
ion that the Board can lose nothing by their

Repeatedly, in public meetings held in Eng
land to aid the Freedmen, the statement has
been made that the vote in the British Cabi-
net to recognize the South was lost by the
negative of one man, Sir George Cornwall
Lewis. We do not dwell upon this statement,
for it is placed sufficiently above dlsproof that
the governing class of England entered upon
their American policy some years back with an
hostility more express than admirable. But it
is with the true England, the England of free
dom and of the future, that we have ultimately
to treat as peop!o-the England of Manches
ter and Lancashire, of Bright, and Baines, and
Forster. For their sakes, and theirs only, and
because, indeed, we have a common cause with
them, these United States may wisely forbear.

A correspondent, who seems to speak OF the
matter from personal observation, writes to
The Boston AdrertSer "There is no doubt
"that party exists at the South, especially
"among the wemen and young men, whose
"adherents cherish stubborn hope that the
"Confederacy will be eventually established"
We would not underrate the importance of this
fact, but, at the same tim5 we are not disposed
to Overrate it. Some years must elapse before
those who fought or who suffered for the Confed-
eracy will cease to lament its collapse and to
dream of its restoration. These are human
foibles which need awaken no apprehension.
The power which could originate and, for
time, maintain Southern rebellion is gone.
If the slave States had any reason for Sc
ceding, it no longer exists. There are thousand
motives for remaining quietly in the Union-not
one for crafty attempting to leave it, which
should influence single young man or woman.

1t almost takes away ones breath to read OF
a churchman rising in Protestant Episcopal

expurgated from the Book of Common Prayer.
This is what DR.. Bowen of Ohio did in the Con-

for the cessiOn of the northern tier of
