CHEvALIgR WEBB, true 10 his aucien,
reputation for courage, has chosen 10
encounter the dangers of Spanish mall
ignity by writing from Havana long
letter to the New York Tribune, in which
he asserts that the Cubans are entitled
to q recognition of belligerent rights by
this Government, inasmuch as they have
an army of Is 600 or 10000 men fully
armed and equipped and contingent
Of equal numbers that would be in the
field if they were provided With ade-
quate munitions OF war He thinks
Havana would soon be wrenched from
the Spaniards if the insurgents were
fully provided with the munitions of
war and be corrobora;es The stories
already received OF Spanish cruelties.
James Watson Webb is an authority of
very considerable weight and his state
men,s may produce more favorable
consideration of the Cuban cause by

than has hitherto been accorded to

"A PRRrLors Boar RIDs.-The San
Francisco Bulletin of the l4th instant
has the subjoined:
Go Friday evening last two men left
the city in . small skiff, 10 cruise
around the Bay in search Of drift wood.
As the evening came on, the wind blew
SO 6ercely that the men resolved to give
up their expedition and return to the
wharf. But when on the side of Goat
Island the gale increased, and as only
one could row and the heavy food tide
Get in, they found it impossible TO make
Roadway. Their craft was light, fra.
gile boat, but she rode the sea well. oc-
casionally shipping few gallons of wa
ter, and keeping one man engaged IN
bailing her out. Finally he became too
frightened to render any assistance,
leaving TO his companion the task OF
managing the boat and throwing out the
water. That night the breeze blew
iercely, driving the helpless craft be
fore il up the Bay. Ga Saturday, as
nothing was heard on shore OF the men,
it was supposed that the boat must have
been swampei by the heavy seas that
ran throughout the night. But they
turned up yesterday at Hunters Point,
after having drifted over thirty miles up
the Bay, and made the shore on the
other side of Hayward's. Making their
boat fast, aud scrambling along on the
mud fiat, cold and hungry, until they
reached a farmhouse. The castaways
related their perilous adventure, and
were kindly received and fed by the
proprietor. Accidents of this descrlp-
ton are not unfrsquenr on this uncer
tain Bay. vi

Az Appeal FOR THE REPuBLIcAN PAR.
rY.-The San Jose Mercury says:
We see no reason for breaking up the
party simply because its temporary head
is better soldier than statesman. The
party has too glorious a record to per-
nit Of its disintegration without a strug-
gle. The very existence of the nation
is owing to the Republican party. Pos
si5ly its great mission, as the preserver
of the Union, has been accomplished /.
bat we cannot see why in the future il
may net be as trustworthy as new par.
~ never tried at all, o. as the Dem ocra-
tic. which has been tried and failed. 1t
contains within itself elements Of dis
cord, no doubt. Protection and free
trade contend within its ranks for supre-
macy extravaganza and economy both
have their representatives within the
lines of the party; territorial acquisi-
ton has its advocates aud opposers !;
neither the internal nor foreign policy
are the same. We think it is we'll tina,
they differ. The Government thus is in
safer hands than it would be otherwise.
A party of perfect union is always a
party of extreme views and measures.
1t is we'll that we have passed that pc.
riod in The par,y's history, as we have
in the history of the country, which re-
quired such blind union. We see no
sufficient reason as ye: to anticipate the
formation Of q new political party and
when such reason exists We trust the
party which it is proposed TO disbsnd
will not be, as the Republican certainly
is, the best one in the field.

To PEAL PEACHES following is an
excellent plan TO save trouble as we'll a. con-
siderable of the best part of the peach,
which i. usually thrown away when knife
is used in peeling them: Make lye As strong
as possible of wood ashes and soft water.
Fill kettle with the lye, and when boiling
rapidly drop in eighteen or twenty peaches,
and take out again almost Immediately, and
immerse them in pail of cold water Take
one in your hand, and the rind will slip off
entirely, leaving round, beautiful yellow
ball; throw it Immediately into another pail
of pure water, and so proceed until all are
done This process will not injure the fla
vor OF the finest peach, and once tried, the
old-ashioned way of peeling with the knife
will not be adopted If the lye is not strong
enough, put into the kettle two dpper-f -fulls
of clean wood ashes. This is splendid
way to rid small onion, OF their jackets, pre-
paratory to picking them, also for peeling
tomatoes.

Revival of Peach Trees.

A discovery of TO small moment in the
interests of agriculture, has been made by
DIR. Geo. B. Wood, and communicated by
him to the American Philosophical Society,
of which he is President Peach trees in
the vicinity of Philadelphia, after producing
few crops, not only cease bearing. but per
ish themselves in short time; whereas
their natural life is fifty or sixty years, or
more. The cause of this defective power of
growth is believed by DIR. Wood TO be owing
to deficiency Of potash in the soil, and he
assures that if this alkal be supplied to the
tree so that it shall reach the roots to be
absorbed, the fruit bearing power is restored,
and the tree eeitself, if prematurely perishing,
is revived. Believing with most persons
that the cause of decay lay in worms at the
root of the peach tree he put in operation a
plan which he had seen his father perform
more than fifty years before, viz H.: of digging
around the best of the stem hole four or
five inches deep, scraping away all the worms
that could be found at the juncture of the
stem and roots, and filling the hollows thus
made with fresh wood ashes from the fire.
which, of course retained all their potash
This was done in the autumn of 1868 and
with result, in the following spring, at
which he was himself astoni.hed The trees
appeared to have been restored to all their
early freshness and vigor; they put forth
bright green leaves, blossomed copiously,
and bore of fruit such as they had never
borne before, many of the branches break
ing down under the load of peaches. DR..
Wood, in refecting on these results, and
noticing that several trees treated had no
worms, came to the conclusion that We must
look for an explanation to some other cause
than the destruction of a few worms, and
this cause he believes to be the ashes, the
potash of which being dissolved by the
rains, had descended along the roots to the
rootlets, and presented to them the very
food for want of which they were dying.
Decaying apple trees bearing stinted and
inedible fruit have been revived by similar
process, and with the like results. All of
DR.. Woods orchards give promise of an
abundant supply of fruit this season.

MORKIR on THE poPULAR VOTE.

One OF the most singular features Of this free
aud Independent Nation Is the occasional indif-
ference manifested by large portion Of It's ciii-
zcns 10 exercise the right VI franchise. In the
ruecnt elections, which have taken place in The
thres great States Of Ohio, Indiana and Pennsyl-
vania, the falling oil in ;he number Of votes have
been very manif st.
The vote Of Ohio. In 1863, for Secretary Of
St.te, was Sit,7i2, willie that..cast for the same
Office on the llth inst. is 426 0ss, showing loss
Of 9Q,O59 as compared with the formor period.
OF that number 45,35l were Republicans and A.
5Os were Democrats.
On viewing the vote Of Wood county, we end
5,777 cast for Secretary Of Stae in 1868, gpinst
3,ST7 in 1870. Thus II viii be seen that tho de-
trsise, In the county, amounts TO 400 votes, Of
whom 7l6 are Republicans and 6s4 Democrats.
In the District at large the falling oT amounts
to s,17S votes, as compared with that cast in
1888, Of whom ,t2e are Republicans and 4,7lo
Democrats.
10 considering the political morale Of these sta
tisties, II must not be forgotten that the mass o.
absenteee from the polls, as represented by each
party, are drawn chiefly from that class Of our
fellow citizens who read, think aud act ctiudepend-
Aetly inths State and Nation. When such men
grow apathetic aud indifferent toward parties with
whom thSy were formerly associa ted, it denotes a
want Of confidence in the leaders Of their party,
aud distrust as.to their ultimate objects.
Now, a. II regards the general results Of the
ls.e election In this State. we have no reason to
complain. The Republican majorities on the
state, Congressional and local tickets are, in the
main, in advance OF the two preceding yearsi
Notwithstanding this, we may not vainly trust in
cur strenghth, while in this State an army Of
$4,000 voters remain on neutral ground
awaiting the call Of leaders in whose eounsels,
patriotism, and honor they may con6de. 1t is
this host whose ballots.wiIl decide the grand po-
lhical conflict of 1879.
lfsuch premises are correct, IL is evidently
the duty of every leader Of the Republican party
aud Of all its representative journals to be wide
awake 10 tho issues before the crisis is on them.
let bold, unsel6sh and patriotic policy be ad-
vocatsd IN the general affairs of the Nation; a
policy Of Legislative justice and equity, which re-
CARDS, first, the honor and prosperity Of national
government, aud next to it the well being of cit
izsns generally, showing special favor to none.
