Late Spanish kilograms from Cuba have
thrown oil former ones into the shade IN the siu-
nidity aud intensity Of their fal5ehood. That
Spanish defeats should be converted into vc.o.
rics for transmission abroad bad gQt to be so
stale a dodge that nll scnsbl, people long since
read the reports invcrscly but that Spain should
offer troops TO De RopAs, aud that DE RopAs
should refuse them, b, carrying the joke toe far
An Europe is orminc, and Spain, all imperial
kilograms from the Tuil,ries 10 the contrary not
wihstandng, cannot remain neutral. Geriiany
and France have called out all THEN reserves, and
the latter is even receiving volunteers. Every
European nation II putting It's house in order, APP
parcrty for defensive, possibly fcr offensive pur-
poses, and spain alone can spare trO0psl And
De RoDAs, 10 whom the Spaniarls in Havana
hardly pay common Difference on his return from
Cimaguty, because hc lcf the instruction
there at least as formidable as he found
it-DE Rop,s, who, because v,LNAsEDA could
not come to him, and because no could
not go by land to vALNAsEpA from Puerto
Principe, now proclaims his intention of
personally Sbduiug tho instruction in that
already too much paciiied Eastern Department
DE- RoDAs who from the first day of his arrival
in Puerto Principe clearly saw and clearly stated
to the Home Government that the island could
never be reconquered without large additional
rcinforccmcnts, now refuses troops offered him
This means that bis applications for reinforce
fnents have been absolutely deuicd But De
RoDAs IL foolish IN letting CuLlns and the world
know how desperate bis position really is.
Again, we are told that " Gen. CoRSELio PoRRo
| has been assassinated by his men because thcy
had heard that he intended TO surrender" Gen
PoRWo is proDably one Of the leaders Of whose
| desire to surrender Gen. DE RoDAs some months
| since informed the Madlid Government All
| hcy askcd-so De RoDAs tclcgraphed-was that
their lives and properties should be spared them
In due course the reply was received from Ma
| drid, in which Gen. Ds RoDAs was instructed to
| treat repentant surrendered chiefs with eniency
Aud strange TO say, notwithstanding the liberal
dissemination Of this leuient answer Of Spain not
one Cuban leader has aTailod himself Of its pro-
visions! And now that they cannot induce
| Pound 70 surrender, the Spaniards assssSinate
him on paper. ''---- 90 ~
II would be an evil day for the Cubans il Gen
PosRo should desert their standard, for no single
man in the whole island is so beloved admired,
and respected by all classes as he is but those
who know him have no fear on hat point. II he
has been assassina,ed by Spanish treachory, the
| retrbution will be fearful.

Some of our Canadian contemporaries
seem to be considerably exercised over the con-
templated departure Of Mr. WILLIAM II. Mon
RELL for Europe As Is wei known, that gentle
man visits the Old World to promote the indie
pcndcncc Of the Canadian Confederation; and 1t
is but natural that those who are most opposed
10 his views of that question should condemn
biz mission. The Toronto Globe especially
pours tidicule upon the movement, forgetting
apparently that It's editor, Mr.. GEORGE BRowS,
has been distinguished for making mistakes re-
spccting almost every important question that has
been raised in Canada during the past ten or fifteen
years. II we remember correctly, Mr.. MoRRELL
early advocated, and Nr BRowS persistently OPP
posed the original movement for the union Of the
Provinces. The project of an intcrcolonal rail-
way was likewise supported by the one and re-
sisted by the other. So was the plan Of liking
permanently the seat Of government at Ottawa;
and yet in that matter, as in the others, Mr..
BRowS was defeated and ur. MoRRgLL trumphci
The question Of an Atlantic and Pacific railway
across British America has found those gentle
men in similar ontagonism and yet there is no
intelligent Statesman in Canada, except 1t be Mr.
BRowN, who does not perceive that snch a rail
way u thing of necessity, unless the greater
part of British America Is 70 remain mere
hunting aud trapping ground for European
traders
We are bound 10 admit, however. that while Mr..
Bows has opposed measures which Mr. MogRELL
has advocated, he has shown a considerable degree
Of agility in identifying himself with them after
their success was established. Thus, when the
Confederation was finally carried Mr.. BRowS at
once lcaped for place in its councils. When
the ln,crcolouial Railway was provided for in the
Act Of Reconsideration, M. Bows publicly declared
his readiness to build Eve mtercolonal railways

minion. In the SAME manner, after the seat Of
government was established at Ottawa he ridi-
culed the idea VI ever removing It elsewhere, and
recoiaIrtndcd large expenditures in public build
'-cs at that place. All this transformation of
opinion byfrll him before j., had taken Office un
der hs lifelong opponent, Sit JoHS A. MACDONALD,
and had been summariiy thrown aside ike
squeezed lemon after has political Likelihood had
been extracted by that Willy politician. And now,

measures to which we have already referred have
been oonsummated in spite of all resistance, the

and we do not hesitate TO add that when that event
is completed there will be f,w individuals 20
whom the people of the new nation will be more

If the oyster fastened on the rock can
feel, why not the rose or the cOnvOlvul-
us, or the great oak tree that Is fast
rooted in the ground? OF the glow of
the sunshine, or the freshness Of the
rain and the air, are they not pleased
recipients? Who can tell ? Or who
shall deny and give good reason for his
incredulity Who, however learned
he may be, can decide where animal
life ends, and where vegetable life begins.
What, for instance, is a sponge? And
If, as LinnRUs SAYS, plants have no
feeling, what makes the mimOsa, or
sensitive plant shrink so timidly
from the slightest touch, and apparent
ly with such pain or terror from a ruder
blow? Whether am scientifically and
philOsOphically right OF wrong, I take
pleasure in believing that the possession
OF life IN however infnitesimal degree,
presuppOses in its pOssessOr, whether an
inal or vegetable, a faculty Of sensa-
ton that administers to its happiness,
and that may administer to its suffering.
For, pleasure and pain aFe twins, and
the one is not attainable without liabili-
ty to the other. The idea is not new to
poetry, though not accepted BY science,
1t blooms and spaTkles in the graceful
mythology Of Rome; as all who remem-
Der the Dryads and Hamadryads; the
loves Of Apollo for Laura, Daphne and
Acaqtha; or who at school or college
have pOred over the metaphors OF Ovid,
will readily admit. The Oriental poets
Of India and Persia are delighted to ami
mate the flowers and trees, and accor-
ding to Hafiz, the rose appreciates the
tender melodies of her lover, the night
ingale. Greek superstition endowed the
atrOpa MandragOra with all the sensa-
tiOns of an animal, and believed that It
shrieked with pain when its roots were
wTested from the ground.
Science may laugh at all such notions
but science, though very great learn
ed lady, does not yet know every thing.
Her elder sister, poetry, often sees FUR
ther and deeper into things than she
does. Did not Shakespeare, in the
Tempest fOreshadOw the possibility
Of the electric telegraph more than two
hundred years before WheatstOne Did
not DR.. Erasmus Darwin, long in adj
vance Of James Watt and Robert Steph-
enson, predict the steamship and loco
motive? Did not COleridge, in the AN
cient Mariner, explain tie BlOdus OD-
eEGn6i of the then unsupported atmos-
pheric railway?
