THE CUBAN QUESTION.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Boston Advertiser speaks of the Cuban
question and Mr.. Banks speech upon it,
on the It'll as follows:
General Banks and the majority of his COM
mjttec support proposition instructing the
President to declare and maintain strictly
impartial neutrality between the Cubans and
Spaniards, giving the Cubans all the benefits
of our neutrality act of 1873 and requesting
the President to protest against the barbarous
warfare in Cuba. Judge Ortiz and the mi
nority of the committee support proposition
making it n misdemeanor to tit out or equip
ships of war in this country to fight against
American coIonsts claiming independence,
providing for the forfeiture eff all ships so
equipped, and declaring neutrality as between
any such colonsts and European powers en-
gagged in their subsection. General Logan
offers proposition giving the Cubans all the
rights of beligerents. The whole popular
interest in today's discussion centred on Mr..
Banks speech, which was in his usual fervid
style. He evidently found it uphill work to
make Roadway against the Presidents mes
sage of yesterday, but some portions OF The
House aud galleries were in sympathetic
mood, and qnte a number of his glowing and
wen TDuHutu IcllOus "SiC IcSSNSu WIN "P
plause. The Prussian and Peruvian minis
tiers were the only high diplomates present,
but there was a large delegation OF attaches
and secretaries. Mrs. Secretary Fish was
in the diplomatic gallery, as were also
fifteen or twenty other ladies, while half a
dozen members of the Cuban Junta, with
twenty five or thirty of their friends, were in
the ladies' gallery at the Speakers left, lead
ing in the applause of Mr.. Banks. Senators
Wilson, Schurz, Edmund, Fowler, Thayer
and Salisbury were on the floor part of the
time while he spoke. Excepting in the Gu
ban and diplomatic sections of the gallery
the attendance was about as meagre as usual.
Mr. Banks held the attention of the House
very closely. The most notable portions of
his speech were those in which he assailed
the Spanish minister in bitter terms and
somewhat coarsely commented on the Presi-
dents message. This he assumed was writ
ten by Caleb Gushing, and his criticisms OF
that gentleman were caustic in the extreme.
When he closed he was congratulated by
Wilkinson, Ward and Woodman, and large
number of the spectators at once left the
chamber. Judge Orth's reply in support of
his own proposition was brief, and put with
and moderation of statement quite
in contrast with Mr.. Banks oratory.

BALDER'S WIFE.
By ALICE CARY.

Her easement like a watehful eye,
From the face OF the wall looks down,
Lashed round with ivy vines so dry
And with ivy leaves sobrown.
Her golden head in her lily hand
Like star in the spray % tn sea,
Andweariiy rocking to and fro,
She sings sweet and she sings so low
To the the little babe on her knee.
But let her sing what tune she may,
Never so light and never so gay,
Ii slips and slides and dies away
To the moan Of the willow water.
Like some bright honey-hearted rose
That the wild wind rudey mocks,
She blooms from the dawn 10 the days sweet close
Ueinmed in with world Of rocks.
The livelong night she doth not stir,
But keeps at her easement iorn,
And the skirts of the darkness shine with her
As they shine with the light o. the morn.
And all who pass may hear her lay,
But let il be what time II may
II slips and slides and dies away
To the moan of the willow water.
And there within that one-eyed tower,
Lashed round with the ivy brown
She droops like some uhpitled mower
That the rainfall washes down:
The damp o. tia dew ia her golden hair
Her cheek like the spray y tn sea,
And YEARLY rocking 10 ana mo,
She sngs so sweet and she sings 50 low
10 the little babe on her knee
Bat let her sing what tune she may
Never 10 light and never 80 gay,
II slips and aud slides and DIES away
To the moan Of the willow wafer

The Ellsworth American says the wild cats
are making fearful havoc with the sheep in
Western Bluehll. Many of the farmers have,
since shearing time, had more than so per
cent. of their flocks killed. 1t is estimated
that the wild cats within two years, have de-
stroyed $1,000 worth of sheep in Brooksville.

domestic Nrms.

A sad event occurred at Hiram on Sunday
last, the particulars of which the Portland
Press gives as follows: 1t seems that three
boys, from ii to II years of age-one the son
of Mr. Clements, another of a MIR. Goodwin,
and the third South American lad who was
being brought up in Hiram at the expense of
Mr.. Clark II. Barker of Portiand-on Sunday
afternoon went to battle in the river near
the residence of Mr.. Andrew Bucknell.-
At least it is supposed so, as some persons
passing up the river in a boat saw their clSthes
lying on the shore and presumed that the boys
were hiding in the bushes. But on their re-
turn, some time after, seeing the clothes still
lying there, they presumed the boys must have
gone in to battle and been drowned. The spot
where the boys went in has flats extending out
into the river, with quicksands, and at the
edge of the flats the water flows very deep,
the flats ending abruptly. The river was
dragged for the boys and up to Tuesday night
we learn that the bodies of the Clements and
Goodwin boys had been recovered, but moth
ing has been seen of the South American lad.

The Boston Advertiser notices Mr.,

Blaine's nomination and says: -
The unanimity with which this nomination
was made testifies to the strong hold he has
upon the people of his district, so strong that
no opposition republican candidate has even
been suggested since he was first put in nom
nation in 1862. The action of the conven-
ton will of course be ratified at the polls.
The district has never sent democratic rep
resentative to Congress since Maine became
a State, and it is to-day that which gives the
heaviest republican majorities. The nomina-
ton is one in which not only the immediate
constituents of Mr.. Blaine, but New England
and the whole country are interested, and 1t
is gratifying to notice that one who has borne
himself so well in his high position is so pop
ular at home.
On Tuesday last Henry B. Anthony of
Rhode Island, and Aaron II. Cragin OF
New Hampshire were reelected to the L. 5.
Senate for six years from the 4th of March
next by their respective Legislatures. This
will be Mr.. Anthony's third term in the
Senate, where he had been for years
Chairman of the Committee on Printing.
Mr.. Cragin had served two terms in the
House of Representatives, before entering
the Senate in 1863.
The debate on Cuban affairs IN the
House on Wednesday was one of the
most exciting of the session General
Banks was somewhat sharp on the Presi-
dents message, and sarcastic and bitter on
those prominent members of the House
who do not favor the recognition Of the
insurgents as belligerants. Gen. Logan
spoke eloquently and with considerable
vituperation ON the same side.
The Ways and Means Committee have
decided to report at once a measure for
relieving coal from all taxation.
