Though special advices from washing,
ton give us to understand that the Admin.

of spirit in favor of Cuban behgerancy,
we are not surprised. Indeed, we resin>
chned to affirm that whatever step the Gov.
erment resolves to take in the Cuban ques-
ton will be found in accord with its pro.
nounced sympathies for liberty and human
ity, and no wise inconsistent with the strict
fulGllmcnt of its international duties Of
neutrality. The release of the Spanish
gunboats never argued that the Adminstra-
tion was in any way opposed to Cuba. If
therefore, the statement that Gen. Grant
favors recognition is all significant, it Ger.
tainly means that no change has come over
the man who denounced the French inter
vention in Mexico, and inspired the propo-
sitions made last Summer to Spain.-Y 7

The BARREN Rocks YIELD BREAD
Yes, the rugged cliffs of the ocean
strand produce something that, if not
bread, is more nourishing and fattening
than the staff of life itself. The Sea
Moss which carpets the rocks on the
shores OF Ireland, Iceland, and the
coasts OF Northern Europe, is as truly
a food staple, when properly prepared,
as wheat, rye or Indian corn. The
Irish variety, locally known as Cara
geen, is now manufactured, under a
patent, into one of the most nutritious,
palatable, digestible and delicious ele-
ments of sustenance the world has ever
seen. The article has been patented
under the name of SEA Moss FARINE,
and the extensive mills of the SEA Moss
FARlNE Co, New Yotli, are now turning
ous immense quantities Of this economic
luxury, which has already taken a
prominent place among the commodi-
ties of the American produce market.
It's price is almost nominal; and the
buildings, custards, jellies, creams, blanc
mango, and other light table luxuries
prepared from it ate superior in flavor
(as well as in cheapness) to those made
from corn starch, maizena,, ravelenta, or
any of the other gelatinous extracts Of
grain.
