WHERE THE Sun DOES NOT SsT.-The

Campbell and his party in the north Of
Norway, from a cliff 1000 feet above
the sea /:
"The ocean stretched away In silent
vastness at our feet the sound Of the
waves scarcely reached our airy look
out ; away in the north, the huge old
sun swung low along the horizon, like
the slow beat Of the pendulum in the
tall clock of our g%raudfather's parlor
corner. We all stood silent, looking at
our watches. When both hands anne
together at twelve, midnight, the full
round orb hung ~triumphantly above the
wayes-a bridge Of gold running due
north spanned the water between US
and him. There he shone in a silent
| majesty which know no setting. We
involuntarily took OF our hats ; no
word was said. Combine, if you can,
the most brilliant sunrise and sunset
you ever saw, and its beauties will pale
before the gorgeous colors which now
lit up the ocean, heaven and mountain.
In half an hour the sun had swung up
%perceptibly on his beat, tho colors
changed to those Of morning, a fresh
breeze rippled over the food, one song
ster after another pipsd up in the grove

THE WAR IN CUBA.

On Sunday last one year had expired
since the standard Of independence was
set up in Cuba. It was one Of the mis-
fortunes of the Spanish colonial system
that her American dependencies, sepa-
rated from the mother country by the
broad ocean, and being at the time
under control Of devoted servants Of the
Queen, was deprived of the advantage
Of the Revolution. II Cubans could
have gone into tho opposition againit
the Queens Government with the same
spirit and hope of success as the Span
iards, they would have been willing to
wait for the course of events which wal
expected to follow success. But, cut Oh
from participation in the great move
ment, hold as subjects Of an sIiled
Queen, having U to fear that they
were to be treated still With the tyranny
under which they had groaned for many
years, they saw no hope except in revolt.
A year of contest seems to bring the
question no nearer settlement than in
the beginning. The war for indepsnd-
snce has been languid, and without
extraordinary success on either side
There have been no battles; tho most
serious engagements have been slight
skirmishes, the loss on either side being
small. Yet it 10 evident that Spain,
Notwithstanding the large number Of
troops sent to the Island, has bsen un
able to make any serious Roadway
Although she loses few men in battle,
her troops have suffered severely BY dis
eases incident to tho climate. She has
made no impression. Tho districts in
which tho insurgents first succeeded
remain 10 their possession. It might b
said that neither side has advanced, and
yet the mere fact that the Cubans have
been enabled for so long q time to hold
their opponents at bay is quite as Inn
portant as would be the results Of bat.
ties distinguished by slaughter on both
sides.

MoaMos AsrrRArroSs.-Last week a
meeting Of the inhabitants Of Utah,
which 10 reported to have numbered
over 10000, was held at Sak Lake City.
It was resolved that q memorial should
be drafted, to be sent to Congress-, ask.
ing that Utah, or Dsserst, as the Nor
mons prefer to call it, shall be admitted
as o State into the Union. There are
some disadvantages in a Territorial gov
eminent, as these persons represent, and
which are, NO doubt, annoying to them.
But they are only di,agrseabls because
the peculiar institutions Of Utah are
hostile to American principles aud
habits. In Utah they complain that
the Territorial officers appointed by the
United States Government are cit
liens Of other States, and unsc-
quainted with tho necessities Of Utah.
This is true. Butthe anne experience has
been endured by every other Territory,
and without complaint, because the Of
icers sent had the general feelings and
sentiments Of American citizens, and
were, therefore, agreeable to the iuhab-
i.ants of the Territories, who but lately
were strangers to the places which they
had chosen for their homes. But the
trouble in Utah is, not that the Govern
ment officers are strangers, but that
they are not Mormons and polygamists.
In tha, complaint 10 summed up the
whole trouble, and it is one which is
not likely to- be remedisd until the hi
srarchial system which is now dsspotie
in Utsf, is entirely broken up, sad
until fho remaining n of the twin
bsrSarisms denounced by the RepSS-
loan party in 1860, is utterly over
thrown.

REMEMBER WHOSE CREATUREs THEY
ARB.-It would prevent a great deal Of
cruelty and neglect of the dumb crsa-
tarcs if we kept in mind that they are
Gods. They are Gods horses which
men boat so numerically. They are
Gods oxen aud cows which cruel people
sometimes starve in their winter fodder,
and beat so numerically. They are
Gods sheep and lambs which are 80
often forgotten to be housed from the
storm; and Gods dogs and oats which
are 30 often kicked and abused by both
grown up people and children. They
are the work of his hands and the crea-
lures Of his care; and they are as
s%uriously and wonderfully formed as we
are; and though they are dumb and
cannot plead for themselves, God will
not forget our ill treatment Of them in
the great day Of account. "He shall
have judgment without mercy who hath
showed no mercy"

0Ss Of the most gratifying signs of
the better spirit Of the people of the
South, 10 found in the absence Of their
old semi-barbarous method Of settling

cums,ances which generally induce them
proving no longer a subject Of interest

There are still in the South, however, o
few hunters after cheap notoriety, the
latest example of this class being
Nosby, the Fauqusr county guerrilla
and highwayman. He has challenged
Colonel Boyd, Of tho United States

so little true courage and self.respect as
to consent to 6gbt the bandit and petty
pilferer Of the Shenandoah.

CENTRAL PACIFIC RAILROAD. The
traffic Of this road %surpasses eIpecta-
ton. In 1865, when there was less than
fly miles constructed, it earned, over
and above operating expenses, $2so,ooo
in gold in 1866, with less than 100
milos constructed, it earned 1864, 200 in
gold over expenses; in 1867, with less
than $50 miles constructed, it earned
81, 0s7, 900 above the operating *
peusss, aud in 1868 with less than $50
miles in operation, toe net earnings sx-
cssded Sl,457,O 900. This was upon local
traffic exclusively, and justi6ed the pre-
diction that tho Central Pacific would be
rsmunerative from its way business
alone. Since the completion Of the
through lins,i 10 May last, and the addition
of business drawn from the eastern lines,
the business shows a large increase,
even though the rates have been greatly
reduced. The receipts for September
foot up nearly $500, 900 in coin, and the
average Of the ferr and a half months
since the junction, is upward of $780,
900 per monitor at the rate Of ST.
900, 900 per annum in coin, equal to
S9,O00,o 900 currency value. OF this
amount fully 10 per cent. is found to be
from local traffic, and the net earnings
for the fiscal year promise to exceed
$4,000, 900 in gold, over operating sx-
peuses. As the interest upon tho COM
pany's bonded debt is only $1,000, 900,
its financial condition is very fattering.
