William Kriel is under sentence OF death tor
the murder of his wife. Having been convicted
in the lower Criminal Court, after an apphca-

onneal was taken TO the Supreme Court, when
was dismissed. But subsequently petltioh
for n re hearing was addressed to the same
Court. which, as vacation interviewed, has not
vet been acted upon. But the Clerk OF the
Court. the last man in the world who should
have been ignorant of the fact of the pending
petition, certified the case to the Governor rs
finally disposed of; in consequence OF which
the. Governor issued his warrant for execution.
This being the unpleasant state OF things zen,

SPAIN IND CUB.

We have no further information OF special
value respecting the rumored treaty Tor the
cession of Cuba, but the French and English
papers discuss the project with so much eager
ness and such decided approval that we can
hardly doubt Spanish agents have been
manufacturing opinion favorable to this
short and easy method of solving the
Cuban problem. The authority OF the nother
country has been so thoroughly undermined III
her chief colony that it would fall to pieces Il
the instruction were only little better organ
lied and it must be clear even TO spanish
pride that the Spanish troops are losing grouhu
every day. What hope can they have OF re-
ducing the island to obedience when they
cannot even maintain captaln-generai
in security, and the party which processes
allegiance to the mother country is anx-
ious to keep the Government out OF the
hands of Quesada only because it covets power
for itselfY And even if the Instruction should
be ouelled, Spain would find herself lncum-
bered with q devastated and Impoverished
island, no longer capable of yielding the rich
tribute it has paid her in past years, but cost
ing on the contrary, large sums for the sup
port of military government in this dilemma
we can easily understand how the proposals
said to have been made through the agency OF
Mr.. Forbes should be received with downright
gratitude. The chief points Of the scheme are
that Cuba shall buy herself of Spain for the
sum of S1OO,OOO,OOO in bonds guaranteed by the
United States, we of course taking mortgage
upon the sovereignty of the island as security.
| This bears suspicious appearance of annexa-
ton, but it saves Spain the humiliation
of confessing a defeat, and relieves her
distressed treasury Of a very serious burden
She will never get anything out of Cuba again.
except what she may realize by the sale OF her
rights of sovereignty, such as they are; and her
statesmen seem to be fully aware that the Ion
! ger they wait the more unstable those rights
will become Whether the bargain would be
good one, either for Cuba or for us, Is another
matter altogether.

II is painful, when one looks even cursorlly
into the newspapers for such cases, to hnd now
many persons of unsOund mind are still re-
tanned at home by their friends, instead OF
being sent TO an asylum for the best medical
treatment, in most instances with n reasonable
chance of cure. Here in Butler County, Ohio,
is one Thomas Kerw0Od advertised for he
having wandered from his hOme.n He IL de-
scribed as "of unsound mind, and totally in
capable of taking care of HIMSELF lie has
been gone four weeks, and a dligent search
for him has been fruitless. OF course, the
chances of his being still alive are not great;
yet he might have been placed in position OF
perfect safety and tenderly and constantly
cared for. Even while we are writing. another
illustration of the fatal laxity with which the
insane are restrained comes to our notice. At
Brookfeld, Mass, on the 18th inst, Mrs. Brown
committed suicide, taking her infant child
with her into the water, both mother and
child being drowned. Here are two lives
gone. both of which might have been
saved, one of them being that of babe
absolutely dependent upon the care and ten
derness of others for existence The officers
of the law are usually extremely unwilling to
interfere in such cases particularly when the
afflicted is of respectable family but If this
evil goes on much longer it will be necessary
to treat lunacy once more as quasi crime.
Observe for another instance the case of MIS-.
NJ. c. Young at Nashua. n. II. This lady,
described as ",estimable," was subject to fits
of epilepsy, which are well known to have
suicidal tendency She often avowed her In
tention of committing suicide, and last Friday,
having procured an ounce of laudanum, she
effected the purpose which she had avowed.
She is much lamented, having been lady worthy
of general esteem. The proper place for her
was in an asylum, and if she had been sent to
such an establishment she would probably have
been living nOw-not in good health, perhaps,
since her disease was nearly incuTable, but
capable during life of a certain amount OK en-
joyment.

1t will be seen 10y reference to another part
of this paper that Mr.. Elihu Burritt has opened
an agency in Birmingham for the purpose of
facilitating the emigration of English farmers
and mechanics to the United States, and the
introduction of American agricultural imple-
ments into England. His scheme is a
good one, and we wish him success. There are
thousands of skilled workmen in the English
cities who cannot get employment at home,
aud competent farmers who cannot obtain land.
We, on the contrary, have millions of fertile
acres waiting to Ice titled, and work enough to
he done TO supply all who come to us. The
class Of men whom Mr.. Burritt purposes with
drawing from the Over-crOwded markets of
the old country are the most valuable acquis
lions for a new State

Gov. Palmer of Illinois made re-
Gently vigorous Republican speech at
Springfield, in which he accidentally
said "Our Democratic friends, | think,
twill soon disband their organization"
But no sooner were the words out of his
mouth than the Governor saw of what an I'M
fortunate Iapsus lingu@ he had been guilty.
Did say disband their organization" cried
the Governor. Well, he did; there could be
no doubt about it; but he Immediately cor
rected matters by declaring, 81 is disbanded
now" which was received as a plain state
ment of an undeniable fact by the numerous
company present. So Gov. Palmer got out OF
the scrape; and, with the prediction that the
Disbanded would soon be bowling to the Black
voters for aid, and putting Black candidates
on their ticket, the Governor closed his pun
cent address.

Some of the London papers having busted
themselves during the last few days inventing
reasons why the Harvard crew may possibly
win, we may reasonably infer that the pros
poets of our boys are Frightening as the day
of the race draws near. One has discovered
that Harvard student is in perpetual train
ing, aud therefore ought to win: of course it
IS not true, and il it were it would be reason
why he could not possibly win, for man can
no more be kept permanently in condition
than race-hOrse Another journal fasteDs the
fate of the match to the weather, and believes
that nothing can save Oxford but a good nasty
English dnzzle. We confess we do not see
why the skies should favor one crew more
than the other, for Harvard has sometimes
seen wet weather, and rOwed in it too, and
sunshine, albeit rare on the Thames if travel
ers may be trusted can hardly be rare enough
to frghten the English crew out of their
presence of mind.

One of the funniest things about Mr.. Dents
letter to Secretary Boutwell, is that after blow
ing that gentleman sky high, after scorchina
and scoring him in a way which really reminds
us of Junius, Mr.. Dent concludes with the
utmost pOlteness. He charges the Secretary
with "monomama,r with unapproachablt
"folly," with "wanton repression of the cleo
tive franchise" and with an intention OF
"breaking the Presidents head" Having thus
relieved lis mind, Mr.. Dent subscribes himself
Yours very respectfully" This is dreadful
coming-down. We have studied the letter with
great care; we are positively unable to lind
out from it what there is in Mr.. BoutwelPs
character which Mr. Dent respects" and our
conclusion is that he is not, after,all. in such
tremendous passion as he pretends to be.

"cover." If this is to be the blessed result, we
are not, upon the whole, sorry that Allen and

Pork consumers may take courage. At the
meeting of the American Scientific Association
at Salem, Mass last week, Prof. Edwards of
Canada read rather q melancholy paper upon
TrioLina Spirals, which is Latin for the rascally
little worm that infests pork, and is supposed
to kill pork -eaters. But after the reading OF
the paper the ever-cheerful Prof. Agassiz arose,
and hoped these disclosures would not disturb
&" the appetite of the public" Every kind OK
"meat,n the Professor said, contains. such
inhabitants-fsh flesh, and fowl" About
fish, of course, he spoke as one having anthor-
ity and he averred that nobody could partahe
of that article of food without eating some
hundreds of such little creatures alter
which the Social Science Delegates went to
dinner with. such appetites as they were able
to muster.

MOurnful intelligence comes to us from Ten
nessee. The chances of preventing the re-
turn of Mr.. Andrew johnson TO the United
States Senate are said to be diminishing. 1t is
even stated that the wrath of his enemies has
been made to praise him, and that Mr.. Bailie

we earnestly renew the suggestion TO which we
were moved at the first hint of the coming
danger that now looms large and solemn be-
fore us, We recommend that the very first
act of the very first day of the next session of
the Senate be to order the adoption of the
One-minute rule, with the purchase of large
supply of Muray's English Grammar for the
use of the Senator from Tennessee.

The ingenuity of Government CensOrS- OF the
press in detecting offensive illusions ia the
most innocent articles has long been pro-
verbal, but the Russian censOrs in Warsaw
have discovered grounds of oflense III what
the editors don't say as well as i'll what
they do. An orthodox Russian church was
recently eOnseCrated in the suburban town Of
Praga, lust across the river from Warsaw,
and as none of the Polish journals of the latter
city saw tit to publish report of the exer-
cses, the director of the censorship issued
circular expressing his hope THAT the edi-
" tors Of the newspapers and other periodl-
"cals of Warsaw would understand the inn
"propriety of passing over IN silence events
(which happen in the Empire, OF which this
Country is but small part" The censor
evidently does not understand that the way
10 make q good newspaper is to print the
kind of news the public want to read,
and to leave out what they do MT
care for. But just think what
time this astute official would have if he
piled his vocation in Newly oFk, where so
many of the papers are III the habit OF pass
ling over in silence events which happen in
the country, of which New-IOrk Is part
until they have an opportunity to copy the
news from The TRIBUNE. There is The World,
for instance, which gets q very little news and
spreads it out to look like great DEAL on the
prnciple of boarding house bread and butter.
There IL The Herald, supported wholly by the
Associated Press aud the Jefferson Market
Police Court. There is The Times which is, so
TO speak. a weekly paper published every day,
in the belief that news is not fit for use until
il has been mellowed with age. Heavens and
earth! Think of any poor man having to keep
account of the important events which these
napers "pass over in silence"
