More Spanish FalsehOOds.

It is hardly necessary for us to say that the
telegram from Havana, published yesterday,
stating that the Cuban Junta in New York
advised their countrymen to lay down their
arms, is a falschood. Everybody here knows
It to be so. Nor will the American people
anywhere believe the statement. It was
hardly necessary for the Cuban Junta to con-
tradict it. They have done 80, however, in a
card published elsewhere. They have also
sent despatch to the press of Havana
denouncing the circular ascribed to them
as forgery. So far from the Junta ad-
vising such course, the patriots COM
posing that body would rather lose all they
possess-and they are among the richest men
of Cuba-and would rather see their native
island utterly desolated, than submit to the
frightful despotism of Spain. The die is cast,
and the Cubans will fight to the end, whether
that be independence or utter ruin of the island.
This mendacious despatch shows, in fact, the
straits to which the Spaniards are reduced in
, order to keep up their courage, to mislead the
people of Havana and of other parts of the
island outside of the patriot lines, and to
strengthen the hands of onr government In the
fraud it is practising upon the American peo-

A SIGN OF THE TIMEs.-In Europe some
keen financiers are now engaged in the forma-
ton of joint stock company, with half mil
lion dollars, which proposes to make the for
tune of all its shareholders by operating on the
''dead certainty" Of the constant and early
appreciation of United States government
bonds. These men argue that the United
States government will apply every year to tho
reduction of the debt the excess Of its revenue.
The excess may be one hundred millions Of
dollars, or not more than fifty millions of dol
lars. If 1t is one hundred millions of dollars
the debt will be paid in fifteen years if it Is
fifty millions of dollars the debt will be paid in
twenty-three years. In the period Of time,
therefore. between now and 1898 it is conf
IDENTIFY counted that all United States bonds will
have risen to full par value, and in the differ
ence between that value and present rates the
company sees its Eldorado.

MoRMoNIsM-THE AVAILABILITY OF BRIa-
HAM YoUNa.-Our letter from Salt Lake City
discloses the fact that the question of Brigham
Young's infallibility Is one cause Of the schism
that is shaking the Mormon Church to it's
centre. Many of his elders and apostles
believe in and advocate the doctrine Of his
infalibility, and the ''apostates" who disbelicve
in it are mercilessly accommodated, without
awaiting the decision of any ecumenical
council of Mormons which may be convened
hereafter to settle the question. Spiritualism,
it seems, has received many proselytes among
the dissenting Mormons, some Of whom hold
that Joe Smith, King Solomon and other
notables have appeared to them and advised
their present course. To this argument,
which ought to appear conclusive, Orson Pratt.
q stanch adherent of Brigham, replies that
devils have taken tho shapes Of these good
men and misled them, ''For, says he, ''devils
can be perfect gentlemen and appear slike

pleasant to read of the boundless charities OF
New York city. An article in another column
gives an account of three notable Institutions
the Home for the Friendless in East Thirtieth
street. the House of Mercy on tho corner Of
Houston and Mulberry streets, and the Episcopal
House of Mercy in Eighty-sixth street. The
aggregate number Of benefciaries of the three
institutions during the past year was 6,023.
These institutions are only few among many
like them, but they serve to show that in New
York, "the quality of mercy is not strained"
