A peoples sympathies know nolOg-
ic, and sometimes no laws. When
oar war was going on, we demanded
that the good will of all outsiders
should be with US, and were ready to
have q mortal quarrel with any power
that wished well for the rebel arms.
But when there is a rebellion in some
other country, we take the liberty of
thinking, feeling, and acting as we
please. There is an insuFFectiOn in
Cuba, struggle of the native Cubans
for Independence against the hard,
inexOrable, bloody Spanish spirit that
abhOrs liberty so thoroughly, that in
it's ancient home it voluntarily votes
itself into the bondage Of monarchy.
By all rules of logic, we ought to frOwn
on the Cubans and sympathize with
the Spanish authority but we do not
and cannot, do any such thing. There
is an ultimate self-inteTest in the mat
ter. Behind the cordial friendship we
have always cherished for the native
Cubans, there is the notion that Cuba
ought to belong to us, and the pleas
ing expectation that one day it will
belong to us. She is the belle Of the
tropics-immensely rich, transcend
emily beautiful, and as lovely and de-
sirable as wealth and beauty can make
her. She reciprOcates our passion,
and nothing but the hard, jealous grip
of her Spanish lord prevents her from
gathering up her gossamer skirts, and
tripping across the Gulf to throw her
self into Uncle Sans welcoming
arms.
And, sooner or later, this will be
the upshot of it all. The deep blue,
rich Cuban skies, the feathery palm
plumes that stand out against them,
the delicious languor of that gentle
climate, the yielding riches of that
unsurpassed soil, the myriad fruits
that grow there so bountifully that
they may be had for the plueking-
these things cause our hearts to warm
toward Cuba with a passionate ardor
that grows with our growth, and
strengthens with our strenth. In
fact, Cuba is our sweetheart, and we
shall not be satisfied till we have her
bananas. oranges. all

The Tools Great Men work
with. sd
BY SAMUEL SMILES.


It is not tools that make the work
men, but the trained skill and perse-
verance of the man himself. Indeed
it is proverbial that the bad workman
never yet had a good tool. Some one
asked Opie by what wonderful pro-
cess he mixed his cOlOFs. II mix them
with my brains, sir" was his reply.
1t is the same with every workman
who would excel. Ferguson made
marvellous things-such as his wood
en- clock, that accurately measured
the hOurs-by means of q common
pen-knife, tool in eYerybOdy's hand,
but then everybody is not Ferguson.
A pan of water and two thermOme-
ters were the tools by which DR.. Black
discovered latent heat and q prism,
lens, and sheet Of pastebOard, ena-
bled Newton to unfold the compost
tiOn of light and the origin of color.
An eminent foreign 80V0IJt once called
upon DR.. WOllastOn, and requested to
be shown over his laboratories, in
which science had been enriched by
so many important discoveries, when
the doctor took him into a study, and,
pointing to an old tea-tray on the table,
containing a few wateh-glasses, test
papers, a small balance, and a blow
pipe, said, 'There is all the labOratO-
ny have :" StOthard learnt the art
Of combining colors by closely study
ing butterflies wings he would often
say that no one knew what he owed
to these tiny insects. A burnt stick
and q barn-dOOr served Wilkie in lieu
of pencil and canvass. Bewick first
practiced drawing on the cOttage-walls
of his native village, which he covered
with his sketches in chalk and Ben
jamin West made his first brushes out
of the cats tail. Ferguson laid him
self down in the fields at night in a
blanket, and made map Of the heav-
enly bodies, by means Of a small
thread with small beads on it, stretch

Franklin first robbed the thunder
could of its lightning by means of a
kite made with two crOss-sticks and
silk handkerchief. Watt made his
first model of the condensing steam
engine out of an old anatOmist's syr-
inge used to inject the arteries pre-
viOus to the dissection. Clifford worked
his first problem in mathematics,
when a cObbler's apprentice, upon
small scraps of leather, which he beat
smooth for the purpose, while Ritten-
house, the astronomer, first calculated
eclipses on his plOw-handle.-GOIden

0ur Predecessors.

Who were our predecessors on the
American continent? The Indians,
of course. But who were their prede-
cessors (? is a question which remains
unsettled. Weask the dumb mounds,
and bones, and arrOw-heads which the
lost races have left behind them; but
they return no answer. We search
the scarp of rocks and cliffs, and the
surfaces of slabs and tablets dug up
from the earth for inscriptions and
records left by the departed peoples; I;
but no noinscriptions and records found; I;
the mute earth guards jeal0usly the
solemn secret of the dead, and refuses
to tell their history and their fate,
And yet, we are not content. The
silence of the oracle only inf1ames the
desire to extOrt response and learn
the secret. Therefore do we continue
the inexorable questioning, ia the
hope that our Importantly viii at last
compel the surrender of the mystery.
And we are not entirely unsuccess-
full. We have already leared that Co
lumbus did not first discover Ameri-
ca, and that Mortimer and Vikings
traversed the eastern Atlantic coast
as far as New Jersey, and had settle
ments in Massachusetts,, centuries be-
fore the Spaniards landed in Florida,
the cavaliers at Jamestown, and the
Pilgrims at Plymouth. This is little,
indeed; but a book has recently APP
peared, which goes far beyond, and
and asserts and attempts to prove that
the Chinese, the Japenese, and even
the Irish preceded us on this -cOnti-
nent, and lived, fiourished, ages ago,
where we are living and fiOurishing
now. This is, indeed, a bold theory
toe bold to be accepted; for that the
Chinese and japanese should have
been civilized peoples, thousands of
years before the earliest historic dates,
and still remain coherent and Organi-
zed natiOnalities, does nOtaccord with
the experience of actual history. The
the Egyptians, the Greeks
and the Romans have passed from the
earth since history began. Why and
how should inferior peoples, like the
Chinese and Japanese, flourish centu-
ries before them, and survive centu-
ries ritter them? As to the Irish, it is
known that they possessed centers Of
learning and seats of science long be-
fore their present Saxon masters had
ceased to be coarse barbarians but we
are hardly prepared to admit that they
were native born Americans before
ourselves.

WAsHINaroN. March 8

Gen. Butler, Speaker Blaine and 9TH
er Congressman had a conference with
President Grant this morning about
reconstruction. They told him they
could pass a bill giving him power to
hold elections when he chooses in
the three unrecOnstructed States, to
submit the constitutions in any man.
ner, whether by sections or otherwise,
and suspend obnoxious State IaWsnOw
in force pending action on the eOnsti-
tutions. The President expressed
himself satisfied that such legislation
would meet all requirements.
Mr.. Butler af Mass, from Recon-
structiOn committee, reported a bill
authorizing the submission of the con-
stitutiOns of Mississippi, Virginia and
Texas to a vote of the people, and au-
thOrizing the election of State officers
and members Of Congress.
The bill authorizes the President, at
such times as he may deem best to sub
NIT the Virginia constitution to reg
istered voters Ofthat State for ratifica-
ton or rejection, and submit to a sep
crate vote such provisions Of that con-
stitution as he may deem best, cleo
tiOns to be held and returns to be
made in the manner provided by the
election ordinances adopted by the
convention.
It authorizes the President to submit
in the same way to the voters of Texas
the entire constitution framed for the
the State, or separate provisions of it
provided no election shall be held in
Texas for any purpose until the Presi-
dent so directs.
For Mississippi, if either of. the con-
stitutions shall be ratified the Legisla-
ture elected shall assemble on the
fourth Teusday after the official
promulgatiOn of the ratification.
Mr.. Paine offered a substitute for the
bill. It authorizes the President 70
submit the Constitutions Of Virgigia,
Texas, and Mississippi, respectively,
to registered voters Ofsueh States, and
to submit at the same time such con-
stitutiOns with provisions stricken
therefrOm as he may direct; the voters
shall at the same time vote for State
officers and members Of Congress: the
/ district commanders may cause the
list of registered voters to be revised
and appoint registers no election to
be held in either Of such States for
any purpose until the President shall

Railroads! Railroads! Rail-
FOads!!
GLEN Rock, NEB.,
March 80, 1859.

L1ltteOf oJ l1fODlsDtttC AQCefttSeTs
DEAR SIR:-When a mans diges-
tive organs are out of order he is apt
to look on things in a gloomy light.
Cheer up, lighter days are coming for
Nemaha county than the picture you
draw in your last issue of the ADVER-
TIsER. It is an admitted fact that
railroads are public benefit; so is the
man who raises two blades of grass in
place of one, but whoever thinks of
giving him anything? Our greatest
men have always fought their own
battles, and so can railroad companies.
Capital is always on the look ont for
good investment, and capital being
stronger than labor is ableto take care
Of itself. Then why should labor be
taxed so heavily TO enrich capital I?
$3.50, 600 was too much of tax for the
people of Nemaha county to be given
tO-a private corporate body, and this
is the only reason that Glen Rock Op-
posed the tax. We, as a people, are
in favor of all internal improvement
in our county. Brownville is selfish !;
in my opinion she wants the Nebras-
ka Trunk to run there, she wants a
road from there to Fort Kearney to
intersect the Union Pacific r. r.
Brownville to-day is well situated so
far as itself is concerned. It has COM
municatiOn with the outside world
via Missouri river, andby railroad just
across, she cannot complain. Now
give us arOad through Nemaha coun-
ty, north and south, say continue the
Trunk from Nemaha City up the
Nemaha Valley by Glen Rock, thence
up Rock Creek to Neb. City, then you
have a Trunk Railroad which can be
fed from both sides, and if take strip
of six miles on each side Of the Road,
you then have the best farming por-
ti0n of the county, and with respect
to hauling the producers would have
the benefit. If it is to run to Brown
vile, thence up the river, what better
aIe we? The distance Is no less! So
much for the Trunk railroad as APP
piled to Nemaha Co. Now / would
like to say a few words for Brown
vile. If BrOwnVille wishes a road
west let her strike out either to Glen
Rock and up the little Nemaha to the
Buck Post Office, Nursery Hill,
OtOe Co.. intersect Midland Pacific
there, or run due west from Brown
vile to Tecumseh, thence up big
Nemaha to Lincoln.
If this is done, then Nemaha county
has bright future and will not sink
below her sphere; but will, as she al
ways has, be the first county in the
State.
Truly yours,
Rock CREEK.
