in this capacity you will! often have
to excuse the proverbial garrulity Of
an old man, especially in this case,
where "out Of the fullness of the

The increasing interest in blood

readers to know what particular
strains have bee most successful,
and what crosses have secured this
superiority, otherwise all would be
left to chance, and to attain eminence
would require years of experimen
aud ruinous expenditure of money.

Abolition in Cuba.

From Madrid we learn that Mr. CASTELAR,
the leading Republican representative In the
Cortos, is today TO present bill for the pur-
pose of Immediately abolishing slavery in
all Spanish colonies, and compensating the
present owners Of the negroes The subject
was debated in the Cortes nearly the whole
Of last week and this bill Ia designed to con.
clude tho debate and cmbody its results in a
law.
Mr.. CASTELAR, must be very ignorant of the
present state of affairs in Cuba, If he i'm
agincs that any such bill, If passed, can
possibly be rendered effective there. Spain
has sent some fifty thousand soldiers to
crush the Cuban revolution, and has
failed and it would require q still larger
army to enforce emancipation and keep the
island Spanish. The Spaniards in Cuba have
already forwarded from Havana innumcrable
protests to Mndrid against even the modified
attempt at commencement of gradual
emancipation, which the Colonial Minister
proposed fortnight since In the Cortes.
How on earth thcn can Mr. CASTELAR, hope
TO enforce law infinitely more obnoxious to
tile interests Of tho volunteers?
The Cubans proclaimed the abolition of
slavery on the island nineteen months ago,
and they arc gradually and surely making
their law effective. But they will certainly
pay no compensation to the owners Of the
slaves, because the accursed institution has
been the main source of the barbarities
through which the island has passed and is
now passing.
= One of the most remarkable and most in
applicable facts in this whole matter is, that
many of the leaders of that party in this
country Which laborcd so long and so ener.
getically for tho abolition of slavery here,
have not only refused all sympathy to the
abolitionsts Of Cuba, but have done all that
was in their power to thwart their efforts and
to perpetuatc oil the horrors of bondage in
that island! The chief Of these men Is

Some curious speculatons as to the ply
sioal condition Of the planet Mars, and human
life and industry upon IL, have just been pub
lished in u book by an Engshman named
RIcHABD A. PRocroR. He bases his work upon
admitted astronomical facts, and his conclusions
are that the weight Of objects OF the same mass
in Mars is much less than half what It is here,
and that consequently there would be a far
greater range of activity for creatures Of the
same size; that falls would be less dangerous !;
that the strain on walls, or columns, or any other
supports would be much less, and that therefore
roofs, arches, and structures Of that kind might
be easily set up on much larger scale by crea-
lures Of equal skill with ourselves; but, on the
other hand, that friction, which is more or less
proportional to pressure, and therefore, in the
case Of piles Of stones, &C., TO weight, would be
far less than the surface Of the earth, so that
any violent lateral disturbances. such as hurri-
canes, would exert still greater effect than on
our earth in destroying such structures, since
there would be less solidity, and therefore less
fractional resistance TO overcome in overturning
them. Again, the vastly diminished weight Of
given masses would give very great advantage
to all kinds Of engines Of draught. Carriages,
carts, and railways would attain q vastly greater
speed than on our earth, aud the sledging on the
snow fields of Mars might be as swirl as the wind
1t appears to be probable. too, that the atmos.
phere of Mars is relatively Considerably denser
than ours, since at distance from the sun so
much greater that the planet receives, directly,
less than half the light and heat we receive,
there seems sign Of any arctic severity, and
clear evidence that the atmosphere holds vast
quantities Of watery yapor even in winter which
points to general temperature considerably
higher than our world would have if removed to
the same distance from the sun, especially when
one considers how much less water to supply
vapor, and how much greater proportion of
land than the earth, Mars contains. Again. the
| rupidity with which storms clear of from big
continent. aud leave the outline clearly marked
after being all enyeoped in mist before, seems to
show the existence Of very rapid currents of air ;
and this, no doubt, the greater inclination of the
axis of Mars, giving greater range to the north
ward and southwark journeys Of the sun, would
promote. Putting these facts together, then, ii
is inferred that the atmosphere Of Mars is, in
proportion, heavier than that of the earth, and
therefore warmer envelope for the planet, that
its winds are more violent and that the great
difficulty Of the architects Of the planet is more
likely to be the strengthening of their structures
against lateral forces-hurricanes, for instance
than against the strain of gravity. Their outer
walls would have to be comparatively much more
solid their difficulty in raising broad arches and
spacious roofs would be much less and loco
motion on Mars must be much more easy and
speedy, ceteris pdri5us, than loeomotion on the
earth.
