! THE CASE OF GENERAL RYAN.-General
Ryan, who during the past few months has
done good service for Cuba, is again back in
The United States. His presence here now is
accounted for by the explanation that he has
come on a mission. This mission business is
becoming nuisance. Since the commence
ment of the year we have had three Cuban
uenerals leave the battle fields of Cuba and
come to this country on important missions.
What has been the result Of their labors
Little. Cuba needs soldiers more than COM
rnissioners. The independence of the island
can b, secured sooner by hard knocks to the
Spaniards in the field than by any other means.

A MEXICAN WAR COMMISSION. We learn
th at Mexico is about to send a commission to
the seat of war in Europe to observe the fight
ing and make a report to the government
This piece Of information is unexpected. Mex
leo, above all other countries in the world, de-
sres 10 information on the subject OF fighting
What can either France or Prussia teach our
warlke next door neighbor? Do not the Mex
leans know all about Bazaines style! Did
they not with ex-Secretary Seward as an ally,
rout the legons of Napoleon, with Bazaine at
their head. from the country? No, Mexico
does not want to know anything about Euro
pean fighting. A country that can boast OF a
revolution couple Of times a month can have
no need of a commission abroad to learu The

THEY EXPECTED TO CoME.-The knowledge
possessed by the Prussian staff officers OF the
French districts entered by their invading
army is very remarkable. They know where
every village lies. They can tell at once the
amount of stablng it has, and whether there is
large church or schoolhouse in which men
or horses can be quartered. From these facts
it is evident that Prussia had not only
counted upon this war and prepared her armies
and allies for it, but had thoroughly can
vassed the roads of France from the Rhine to
Paris beforehand, and had noted down vast
amount OF useful information to an invading
army. Hence the precision and success of the
advance of the German columns from point to
point. They know the roads and the distances
from point to point, the fortified places en-
route, the mountain passes, river crossings,
&C., and the places where subsistence for men
and horses may be obtained. The Prussans
were thus prepared for the march to Paris
when Napoleon moved forward MacMahon to
the Rhine for his march to Berlin. The tables
have been turned in the matter Of prompt ac-
ton since the days Of the little Corporal"

EXPRESS RoBBNG opens in quite lively
style, for the autumn season, in the West A
train on the Missouri Pacific Railroad was the
scene Of nice little operation in that line on
Friday morning last, just after it had left
SCOTS Station, Kansas. Two men in disguise
entered United States Express car, over
powered and bound the agent, went through"
his safe in the most approved style and got
away with their booty. The audacity of the
act was less remarkable than the negligence
which, in these days Of shrewd invention,
leaves brigandage possible on such easy terms
We can conceive OF a score of ways by which
on Il car in motion such robbery as the one
recorded would be put entirely out of the
question. How was it possible for two un-
known men to get into the express car con-
tanning so much valuable property if the agent
was diligently looking after his business? Are
the express companies in general so coniidingly
cool as all this in dangerous vicinities? A
little investigation, to be followed by a
slight dose Of reform, would decidedly clear
the complexion of this incident, which has
bilious look just as it stands

TIE AXE AS A WEAPON or MURDER There
are now no less than three cases of recent
marder in which the axe has figured as the
instrument Of death awaiting investigation in
this city and Brooklyn. In the first case the
throwing OF a tomato at a woman was the pre-
text for her husband to hack the life ont of
the unfortunate man who threw it. This
occurred in Cherry street about a week ago.
A woman known as ''Bg Mag" residing in
the First ward, found drunken fellow had
taken possession of her bed few nights, and
in the quarrel which ensued he was
chopped on the head by Mag so
that he has since died. Last night a
man became involved in quarrel with two
women in Brooklyn and the result was that
that they seized an axe and inflicted mortal
wounds upon him. II is not a little singular
that i'm all these cases women have been in
voved. What is the significance Of these
terrible affairs? Must an instrument so use
full, but still so deadly as the axe be excluded
from domestic use

WALL STREET AT DEAD Low WATER. What
has come over the speculative fraternity that
Wall street should be so utterly devoid of ami
mation? Brokers plod the sidewalks and
haunt the Long Room, but ''orders' are few
and far between. Yesterday was dies non
almost as much as if the law proclaimed it so.
Certainly there have been holidays when the
anxious crowd on the street bought and sold
more stocks. OF course the summer vacation
season accounts for most of it, and the races
yesterday at Long Branch drew off the few who
had recently returned from other resorts. But
the fact remains that it has been an extremely
dull season in Wall street

Tho Stream OF Summer Travel.

The war changed very decidedly the stream
of summer travel. 1t drove home thousands
of American sojourners in Paris and Berlin
II sent to the watering places and other
delightful summer resorts in our own country
thousands of tourists who had expected to
visit lands beyond the sea. The slight touch
Of fall weather which succeeded the brilliant
display of the aurora boreals the other even
ing brought back to town not few Of our
citizens, who found the nights beginning to
grow too cool on the seashOre or in The noun
tains On Thursday, to be sure, revival of the
tropical heats Of July made our streets almost
intolerable and occasoned fresh exodus from
The metropolis. What with all this going to
and fro our streets are alive with unwonted
activity. Our hotels, and particularly those
frequented by business men from the South
and West, are unusually crowded. Even that
huge, mammoth hotel, tho Grand Central,
which on Thursday opened for the first time its
hospitable doors to the public, will not be too
large to accommodate the unprecedentedly
great influx Of visitors who are now daily arriv-
ing in New York. The signs Of the approaching
fall trade are numerous. Particularly in COM
mission houses and jobbing houses engaged
in trade with the South and Far West business
is already brisk. The stream OF travel ia
fairly setting in towards our city, and will
soon rush through its streets like 4 Hood.

A WARNING TO CRIMINALS s-Brookvn is q
dangerous hunting ground for thieves and
criminals Of all sorts, as is shown occasionally
by the way in which the police arrest the
flight of offenders who are detected in crime.
Yesterday an officer pursued flying thief who
possession, and the officer, after warning him
and finding he was about to escape, shot him
through the heart. While the use of the pistol
should always be last resort with police
man, still il must be confessed that outlaws
will learn that it may be safer to surrender
gracefully when detected than to fight or make
desperate run for escape.

SAYING HATEFUL TnNGs.-What n strange dis
position is that which leads people to say " hate
ml " things for the mere pleasure of saying
them. You are never safe with such person D.
When you have done your very best to please,
and are feeling kindly and pleasantly, out will
pop some bitter speech, some underhand stab
which you alone comprehend-a sneer which is
masked, but which is too well aimed TO be mis-
understood. 1t may be at your person, your
mental failing, or some little secret faith OF
opinion, confessed in some moment of genuine
confdende 1t matters not how sacred 1t may
be to you he will have his fling at it nay, since

only spoken because be is afraid that you are
too happy or too conceited. Yet they are worse
than so many blows. How many sleepless
nights have such mean attacks caused tender
hearted idiots How after them, one awakes
with aching eyes and head, to remember that
speech before everything else--that bright,
sharp, well-aimed needle of speech that probed
the very centre of your soul. There is only one
comfort to be taken. The repetition of such at
tacks soon weans your heart from the attacker
and this once done, nothing that he can say will
pain you more
