spain and Cuba-A precedent.

Mr.. Beecher writes as follows in the
last number of the Christian Union
Although Spain has poured her sol
diers by thousands upon the beautiful,
bleeding island, and our Government
not ours in this-has let American-built
gunboats go forth against Our struggling
neighbors, they are still defying and re-
sisting their foreign enemies with grow
ing vigor and determination They have
a Constitution, a Congress, President,
a capital an army and a currency of
their own; they make and enforce laws,
they reach the coast, they receive sup
plies, they fight battles, they endure de-
feats, they win victories, they send us
ENJOYS, they are recognized by other re-
publics, and they defy Spain. And we
we stand with our hands in our pockets
waiting, Yankee-like, for chance to
make some sort of tradel
What must Spain think of us? On
June II, 1861, between the fall of Sum
ter and the battle of Bull Run, she re-
cognized the rebels as belligerents, and
put the vessels of "all the Federal States
of the Union and the Confederate States
of the South (thus taking the division
of the Republic for granted) on an equal
footing in her ports. She waited two
months before recognizing the Confede-
racy, which was fighting for slavery; we
wait two years before recognizing Cuba,
which is fighting against Spain for free
dom. Does Spain think we are magnan-
imous or cowardlyP By her treatment
of our citizens and our flag she evidently
thinks she is dealing with fish rather
than an eagle. And yet We are "the
freest people under the sun, and ''the
greatest soldier of the age" is our Presi-
dent
We pray Congress not to ignore any
longer selfevident facts, and, at the very
least, and without delay, to declare the
neutrality of the United States in the
war which is waging between Cuba and
Spain. If we help Spain any further,
and become party to any greater ex-
tent against the liberties of Cuba, we
shall deserve, if we do not incur, the
contempt of the civilized world.

New York with -four and grain for Glas-
Cow, there take in another cargo of Eng
lish manufactured goods, and proceed to
the Mediterranean, stopping at Lisbon,
Gibraltar, Genoa, Leghorn, Naples, Mes
sina and Palermo. At these ports the
return cargo of fruit is collected, and the
steamers then return to New York. The
vessels of the London line pursue nearly
the same route, with the exception Of
touching at the English Channel ports
instead of Glasgow The principal coal
ing station for the return voyage is
Gibraltar. The fruit season continues
from November till the close of May, and
$4,000 boxes of oranges and lemons are
imported weekly. These steamers are
also commencing to bring emigrants as
passengers, and also Americans who
have been travelling in Southern Europe
avail themselves Of this route to return
home, without again passing over the
countries they have already visited.

Another story of Gen. Thomas.

FROM tne DeEOlt Toee'i
After the battle of Chickamauga, and
when he must have been perfectly con-
scious that he had saved Rosecrans'
army and the whole region, he sat hall
an hour drinking coffee, and did not
once sllude to the fight. No one would
have knoRn that there had been any.
In battle he sat hike statue, with scarce
" a motion, needless of bullets, ooca-
sionally reused TO enthusiasm by the sue
cess Of one of his maneuvers, but blush
ing if his feeling was discovered He
was seldom moved TO anger, but when it
came il WAS frightful An infantry Col
onel stole horse from Union farmer
in Kentucky, who came to Thomas and
complained He poured out torrent
ofinvective upon the officer, pulled him
from the horse, tore the epaulettes from
his shoulders, made him return the horse
and pay the farmer for his trouble.

The EmperOr's Letter TO olivier.
The following is the text of Napoleon

The following is the text OF Napoleon s
letter to Olivier:
II think it opportune, under present
circumstances, to adopt all reforms re-
quired by the constitutional government
Of the empire, in order to put an end to
the immoderate desire for change
which prevails in certain minds, and also
not TO leave public opinion unsettled by
creating instability The first place !
accord to those reforms which refer to
the constitution and the prerogative of
of the Senate. The constitution of 1852
had above all things TO provide the gov
ernment with the means Of establishing
authority and order, but it remained to
be perfected. As long as that consti-
tuition existed the country could not
have allowed the establishment of pub
lie liberties in solid basis. At the
present time, when successive changes
have gradually created a constitutional
regime in harmony with the bases laid
down in the plebiscite, it is important to
replace in the domain Of law all that
more specially has reference to the
preservation of legislative order, to i'm
press definite character upon the latest
reforms, 90 place the constitution above
all controversy 10 call upon the Senate,
that grand body which contains so many
brilliant men, To lend TO the new regime
their most efhcacious concurrence. j
therefore request you to come to an IN
derstanding with your colleagues, and
Law before me the draft Of SeRdfHs
C5nsulfum which shall firmly fix the
plebiscite fundamental dispositions de-
rived from the plebiscite Of 1882 and
which shall divide the Legislative power
between the two Chambers, and restore
to the nation that portion Of constituent
power It had delegated 20 me. p

LOVE AND HORSES.
A bridegroom Snatched from the
yuptiaI COueh and Hurried off to
Hail.

/ A correspondent writes to the Courier
Journal this story:
One day last week young man, by
the name of David Connell, was arrested
and lodged in the Nelson county Jail, at
Bardstown, for stealing a horse from one
Stephen Jones, who resides near the
town of Fairfield, in the same county.
Young Connell immigrated to Nelson
about three years ago from unknown
parts, probably from the Small Point,
and, up to about the time of his arrest,
had been employed as farm laborer in
Mr.. Jones neighborhood. While follow
lag this honorable avocation, Connell
must needs have an a6aire dGmour on
his hands also, so plighted his troth with
fair damsel, the daughter of q respecta-
BILE widow lady, who resides in the vicn-
ity of the place where he was employed.
But somehow there seemed an impassa-
BILE gulf between young Connell and mat
rimony-the slim state of his finances.
A day was set for the wedding, however,
and he resolved to trust to luck and des-
perate chances. 3f ..Et
On Friday night he visited the stable
of Mr.. Jones, while in a frenzied state of
mind, and took therefrom a fine mare,
saddle and bride. He lost no time in
mounting the animal, and rode into Bull
lit county. At Pitts Point he traded
the mare for a mule, and, between that
place and Shepherdsville, he sold the
mule, saddle and bride, putting the pro-
ceeds in his pocket Walking beyond
Shepherdsville, Connell stole a horse
which he rode into Louisville and sold
He then turned his face homeward, and
on the road stole another horse, which
bore him the remainder of the journey.
On Tuesday he was again on his native
heath, and that evening, the time ar
ranged for the wedding, he repaired to
the house of his betrothed, where he was
duly united in the holy bonds of wedlock
with the chosen one of his heart And
young Connell looked every inch the
bridegroom, too, for while in the city he
had rugged himself out from head to toe,
in splinter-new clothes for the occasion,
and had money left.
In the meantime Mr. Jones, the gen
tleman from whom Connell stole the
mare, having got on his track, traced
him to Pitts Point, and recovered the
stolen property, and, having strong sus
picions as to the theft, endeavored to
get back home in time to prevent the
wedding, knowing that the young lady
was an innocent party but be arrived
few hours too late. The LeXt morning
Mr.. Jones, in company with High Sheriff
Thomas, waited upon the bridegroom at
an early hour, mounted him on the last
horse which he had stolen, and look him
to Bardstown, where he WAS lodged in
Jail
Young Connell confessed his guilt, and
waived a preliminary examination be-
fore Judge Murphy. At last accounts
the bride of an evening had sent her
lord word never to show his face
again. and whether the twelve gentle
men who shall next deliberate on his
case can find "aught TO extenuate,"
taking into consideration the surround |
ing circumstances, remains for the fu-
ture to prove.

1t is well to be Queen. The other day
Prince Alfred was in India, and the Ma
haraiah of Cashmere offered him as a
present shawl, on which three hundred
weavers had been necessarily at work
for three years. No such shawl had ever
been manufactured before. The Prince,
having perhaps received maternal hint
not 70 take any more presents, after his
miserable escapades in Australia, de
clined the gift-whereupon the Aahara-
iah begged of him to forward = to the
Queen. Her Majesty must now have
more Cashmere shawls in her possession
than any dry goods dealer in New York.
The real Cashmere shawl is very scarce
object. for the Maharajah CLAIMS large
royalty on every one manufactured and
moreover buys the most beautiful for his
own use or distribution among his
friends. What are called Indian
shawls generally are either made 10
Umritsir-or in France. There Is Tor
was) a gentleman in india who has all
the curtains in his house made Of pure
Cashmere shawls=each one worth about
twelve hundred and fifty dollars, gold,
on the spot As an Indian house has no
doors. but curtains instead. II may be
imagined that a very fair display Of the
genuine article is made in this one es-
tablishment.
