SINGULAR PROCEEDINGS UNDER DIFFERENT
WnLs.-The town of Sherborn, Mass, has
Just become entitled to about $4,000, the
bequests of Thomas Sawin and Martha, his
sister, late of Natick. The Newton Journal
states that reciprocal wills were made nearly
twenty years ago by the brother and sister,
by which the survivor was to have nearly all
the property, on condition that suitable
provision was made for Mrs. Perry, their
only sister Thomas died in 1868; but this
will was contested by Mrs. Perry, and was
not allowed until Martha had made a satis-
factory arrangement with her sster-giving
her life interest in a certain house in Gran
vile, $4,000 down, and an annuity of 5000
during Mrs. Perrys life and that of her
daughter. In 1869 Martha Sawin died,
leaving will which gave all her property
but about $1,000 to the town of Sherborn,
for the maintenance of high school. This
will Mrs. Perry also con tested, and it was not
allowed until the parties interested had
agreed that she should have the estate at
Granville in fee simple, and a sum of money
equivalent to two life annuities of 5000
each, and $4,000 in money. By this ar
rangement Sherborn loses about $4,000,
but gets nevertheless, the handsome sum of
$4,000.

MODERN NToLERANCE.-Nothing perhaps can
in the long run be worse for humanity than
the notion that men should be hated and per-
secuted for their opinions. The world may
be held to have learnt this lesson. 1t has
found it out. And everybody knows that the
reason why it is bad, and why it can never
answer to persecute and put down those who
think differently from ourselves, is because
no man can be cei tain that his view of truth
is the correct one. If one could be sure upon
this point, war against false opinion would
be right and expedient. 1t can never be so,
because we are really IN doubt upon the sub
iect; because when A. says, 81 hold the
TRUTH" and b. says, mo, you hold falseho ID;
hold the truth" there is no umpire to whom
appeal can be made to decide between them.
These are the cases in which, as the world
has by this time pretty we'll learned, absolute
toleration is and should be the rule. But
surely we are in danger, in these latter days,
of falling into the equally mistaken converse
of the mistake our forefathers fell into. They
very readily burned with a "divine white
heat, as Carlyle says of indignation against
both wrong-doers and wrong-thinkers We
extend an equally tepid tolerance to both !.
But we may quite depend upon this-that
unless. to use the words of our poet-prophet
again, a sufficient number of heroic men are
found in the nation to stand forth with the
hot indignant protest on their lips that such
things shall not be-such things as have been
too much lately tolerated among us-we
shall fright surely, we for one, stumble to
the Devil, and are every day and hour, little
as we imagine it, making progress thithsr. -

Why the Spaniards in Cuba Despise
Americans and Respect the English.

Intelligent people, who are accustomed TO
trace effects to causes, may have been aston.
ishcd at the peculiar and exceptional vindic-
tiveness with which American citizens have
been prosecuted by the Spaniards in Cuba
To many it may appear anomalous that a
people who had supplied foreign Govern
ment with everything it needed wherewi;h
to crush a revolutionary outbreak, as we
have done to Spain, should find hatred where
gratitude might be expected. But such ex.
pectations can have been cherished, and such
deductions drawn, only by people not con.
versant with the nature of the Spanards in
Cuba, or with their past history.
The Spaniards in Cuba hate us because we
have abolished slavery. LIScoLN's emanci-
patton proclamation sapped their cherished
institute l. They showed their resentment
plainly during our civil war. Havana was
thea one vast Confederate arsenal. The
Spanish Government depleted its armorcs
of every hint-lock musket, replacing them
aftcrward with brecch- leaders and the
Denbigh, Susanna, and other block
ade runners received whole cargoes
Of cannon, shot, and shell from the
Spanish admiralty stores, And now a
very brief review of notorious facts will
suffice TO account for the audacity with which
these same Spaniards have dared TO parade
their hatred and contempt of us since the
revolution in Cuba began.
An American named KouNER was mur-
Al, L
oy Consul La REINTREE. No satisfaction
was given, and IA REINTREE threw up lis
commission in disgust.
SPEKEMAN a. d WYETH were shot without
trial the case was reported by Consul Pull
LIPS, and he only saved his life by running
away. Admiral Poor was sent there to
inquire; and like the historic friend of
BILLY PATTERSON he did inquire and found
out also. Again no satisfaction was obtained.
GREESwALD, going to Havana from New
York, was murdered in Havana. and in con.
sequence his companions were ordered home,
as Il they wero the culprits.
1t would be strange indeed if the SpOnards
had not learned by this timo that they may
rob and murder Americans with perfect i'm
purity. Let us see how, meanwhile, British
subjects have farcd in Cuba
