European.

The Colonial Government in Cuba has decreed
religious liberty throughout the Island. This of
itself is a victory for the RevOlutionists, as the re-
form has been wrung from the Spanish authorities
by the pXigencies OF war.
In confirmation of the prophec Y that there will
be a severe winter. comes the intelligence from
Great Britain that the weather is unusually cold
for the season. and that frost, snow, and ice prevail
in all parts of the kingdom.
One of the British papers reports that the chill
dren of Mrs. Leigh are commencing action at law
against 4McuiIon's Magazine in which Mrs. Stoves
article on Byron appeared in England.
Anthony Trollope received from his English pub
fishers G3 1000 for his He Knelo He Vas Right. 1t
was published in 3G parts. at six pence each. The
sale was poor. and it is said in London that if the
publishers bad given Mr.. Trollope e2. 600, and then
destroyed the MSS, they would have been better
off.
Child stealing is coming to be quite common in
Great Britain. The London Times offers a reward
of $500 for the recovery of n child seventeen
months old, which was seized from directly under
the eve of the nurse. The other day q poor man
applied in great distress to a London magistrate
for the recovery of two of his children, who had
been stolen, and a district in ireland has been
thrown into CONSERVATION by the disappearance of
numerous juveniles. These children are doubtless
stolen to be trained as beggars or placed under the
tutelage of Fagins. The Pail Mall Gazette says this
kidnapping is increasing to an alarming extent.
European advices state that Francis Joseph. the
Emperor of Austria. and Victor Emanuel, the King
OF Italy, are likely, on an early day, to have an in
terview. This means that SolferinO and Magenta
are about to be forgiven, if not forgotten. 1t is a
fact that the Crown Prince of Prussia has arrived
in Vienna and that he has been warmly received
by Francis Joseph. This is proof positive that
SadOwa is forgiven. if not forgotten. All this is
well. 1t proves that the monarchs of Europe begin
to understand the nineteenth century. We cannot
have wars on dead issues. Let the dead past bury
its dead. 1t is best to live in and with the living
present.
The prize of 2 600 francs offered in France for a
cheap. practical and certain method of determining
actual death is claimed by a doctor who ayers that
holding the subjects hand before u light, in a
darkened room will i~nfallibly determine it. If he
is not dead the life will make the hand semi-trans-
lucent, with a rosy hue and if dead 1t will be
perfectly Obaque.

GUANo-The Georgia farmers are so satisfied
with their experiments with guano and other phos-
pilates. that the ancient prejudice against a. book
farming !" is fast dying out. Now, the point is to
guard against the imitation article. for there are
many false brands in the market. The Savannah
Republican says: In every portion of the State
that we have heard from. where these disasters
have occurred, the fields upon which fertilizers
were not used at all, are quite as badly rusted and
scorched as those that were cultivated with a
liberal supply of the article. This is conclusive
as regards the only objection that we have heard
to commercial nanures. while the immense impulse
given to the crops, both in stalks and fruit, is q
positive testimonial in their behalf. We have yet
to talk with the frat planter whose opinion of their
matters has been shaken by the years experience.

in every respect favorable and agree
able. I was instantly struck with
the great simplicity and perfect nat
uralness of his manners, and the en-
tire absence of anything like affecta-
ton or show, or even the usual mil
itary air or mein of men in his posi-
ton. He was plainly attired, sitting
in a log cabin, busily writing on a
small table, by kerosene lamp. 1t
was night when we arrived. There
was nothing in his appearance or sur.
rOundings which indicated his official
rank. There were neither guards nor
aids about him. Upon Col. Babcock's
rapping at his door, the response,
"Come in," was given by himself, in
a tone of voice, and with cadence
which can never forget. His con-.
versation was easy and fluent, with
out the least effort or restraint. In
this, nothing was so closely noticed
by me "a thepoint and terseness with
which he expressed whatever he said.
He did not seem either to court or
avoid conversation, but whatever he
spoke was directly to the point, and
covered the whole matter in few
words. saw, before being with him
long, that he was exceedingly quick
in perception and direct in purpose,
with a vast deal more brains than
tongue, as ready as that was at his
command"

SPECIAL Music NOTICE TO ALL
THE TE.-We are informed by
Prof. III. s. Perkins, Principal of the
Normal Academy of Music at this
place, of most liberal proposition
to the people of the State. 1t is to
admit two students, either male or
female, to all the classes Of the
Academy at the coming session of
six weeks, which will commence
August 8th, free Of charge for tuition.
These beneticiaries are to be selected
by the County superintendent, and
Prof. Perkins recommends that they
be taken from among the Public
School Teachers, where practicable,
that the schools may have the benefit
of their training.
The tuition in the class depart
ments of the Academy, in notation,
vocalization, harmony, theory and
art of teaching, and in chorus prac-
tice, is twenty dollars. BY this it
will be seen how much is offered to
those who may accept the PROPOSE
ton for gratuitous instruction. Prof.
Perkins will gladly give personal
attention to anyinquiries which may
he made relative to this matter, and
will send catalogues, giving full in
formation, 70 any address. The Press
Of the State will confer favor upon
the public at large and aid the cause
Of music by giving the above facts to
their readers.--Iosca city Republican.

THc VIRTUE OF PERSISTENCE
was strongly illustrated by a little
incident we happened to hear the
other day. One of our citizens, who
has lately been visiting in Ohio,
says that that part of the coun-
try is literally overrun with Sewing
Machine Agents, and the competi-
ton is very sharp between them.
One of these canvassing gentlemen
learned that certain lady in the
vicinity had a large amount of sew.
ing on hand to do, and would proba-
bly, want Machine; SO forthwith he
took one of his Machines around,
and left it at her house. "But this
is not the kind of Machine l want"
said she, ''and there's no use in your
leavingit." "Oh, you never mind
that" replied the Agent; "you
just keep the Machine here awhile
and try it. 1t won't cost you any
thing" So he left the Machine
there a month. At the end Of that
time he came around again, and
asked the lady how she liked the
Machine. II don't like it," said
she, ''and / shan't buy it; SO you
might better take it away" "Oh,
you will like it yet" said the Agent;
you haven't tried it enough. Give
it fair trial." So he left the Ma
chine there for five months more
and then the lady bought it. The
Agents persistence had its reward,
after many days.-But we believe
they don't put out Machines that
way in this County.

Opinion out Of the District.


The following friendly and sensi-
BILE words are from the Grand juno
ton Head Light, of Greene County:
The Congressional fight in the
Fourth District is growing interest
ing. The friends of Governor Stone,
Judge Loughridge and Col. Meyer,
are working with an energy that
means success only, but to an out
slider it would seem that "Bill" Stone
will knock the Congressional persim-
mon as sure as Fate. We have
known Gov. Stone for nearly twenty
years, and his political course has
always been such as to deserve the
warmest admiration of his political
associates. We admire him for the
reason that he has the backbone to
say his say on all matters where a
positive position is required, and
that he sticks by his friends until the
last shot is spent. We have had too
many men in Congress afraid to4ake
their stand in the forefront OF the
progressive movements of the age;
and we for one should be gratitied to
see the best Governor Iowa ever had
honoring the position Of Representa-
tive Of the Fourth District, while
Iowa would have none to speak or
her more ably than he in the Ma
tiOnal halls of legislation.
