Grants Cuban Message.

WASHINGTON, June I3.-The spe-
cial message of the President, sent to
both Houses of Congress to-day, Gre
ated a profound sensation, no less for
the matter it contained than the man.
ner in which it was precipitated. To-
morrow the Foreign Affairs Commit
tees report on the Cuban question
comes up in the shape detailed in last
nights dispatch. Hence the reply of
the administration made this after
noon. In the Senate Judge Thurman
characterized it as a proclamation to
the Cubans to lay down their arms.
In the House Mr.. Cox said it was the
most important message ever sent to
the American Congress. Senator Nor
ton is reported as intending to ieTcely
aSsail il, and Gen. Banks is astOnish-
ed and indignant. 1t looks as though,
between Cuba and San Domingo, the
administration had got a pretty live
ly fight on hand. 1t is asserted that
Caleb Cushing wrote the message. 1t
has been prepared for nearly a week,
and was signed by the President soon
after his return this morning from
Pennsylvania,

A Remarkable RecOpHendatiOn,

The San Francisco Era gives a copy
of a peculiar certiica@ Of character
which one of its editors gave to Eme-
line. 1t reads as follows; "She has
black eyes and black hair. Whenever
she comes home from a wake her
eyes are blaeker, and she has less hair
by three or four handfuls. Emeline
is engaged, and her young man is the
most successful aSsimilator OF butter,
and sugar, and milk that ever emil
grated from Ireland. He is equal to
any demand of this kind upon his
stomach. Emeline has been vacei-
mated, but it didn't take, This is the
only thing about Emeline that we
know of that won't take. Spoons
take, and hemstitched handkerchiefs
take, and she can nail more pillow
cases and forks within a given time
than any other girl of the same size
and weight in the land of the free.
Her Sunday OUT comes twice a
week, and she can wash stockings in
the tea-kettle more efficiently than any
living woman. Her way of taking
care of a baby is to hold it upside
down by the leg until it bursts a'blood-
vessel; and if she washes windows
she never sluices water down on the
pavement unless a man is going by
with a new hat on; tho she sings it
around by the lineup fun. Emeline's
most unpleasant popularity is, that
she always blows the gas out when
she goes to bed; but it is better to en-
courage this practice, in the hope that
she will sufiocate herself some night.
She would be much more efficient as
a good, quiet, dOcile corpse than as a
servant girl" This was ''giving a
character" with a vengeance. But
the editor reckoned without his host.
He ~cOnfesses that this recommend"
must have been shown to Emeline's
brother, because the latter has been
''sitting on Our front doorstep with a
1iscouraging club for a week past, and
have gone in and out through the
illey gata.O

Nitrous 0xyd Gas.

A Louisville correspondent of the
Dental Register, published in Cincin-
natl, takes very decided ground
against the administration of nitrous
oxyd gas in dental operations, for the
reason that he regards it as dangerous,
especially if it be not properly admin
istered. He says that persons are
complaining TO him almost daily that
they took gas and had one tooth or
more pulled, and that they had been
sick afterward. He refers to a few
cases, s'some of which wer related
by a neighboring practitioner" which
''show that somebody is at fault, or
else the gas is not all that it is thought
to be-" We give these cases as re-
ported by this correspondent, as fol-
lows:
Case 1. Miss B. took gas. Every
thing seemed to work finely. She
recovered soon without any difficulty,
but on the next day was affected with
droWsiness, so much so that it re-
quired an effort to keep her awake,
This condition lasted for some time.
She Is very absent minded since its
administration.
Case 2. Mrs. Nc had taken gas
several times-the last time eight or
niLe months ago. She has, to a great
extent, lost her memory since, and at
tributes it to the gas. She was In per-
feet health prior to taking the gas.
Case 3. Mrs B took gas, and
was affected same as case z. Has not
been 80 long affected, but hopes for
her recovery are not good.
Case 4. Mrs. - took gas for the
extraction Of several teeth. Was af-
fected at the time as others seemed to
be. Went home Tin the country, lived
until the next day, and died very sud-
denly. AS to this case, no q Of the
profession here know anything. She
died, but of what cause we do not
know. The friends say "the gas
killed her."
Case 5. DR.. W, city, took gas
and had dizziness Of head for six
months afterward. Could not be in
duced to take it again.
Case 8. Miss D went into spasms
soon after taking gas, which lasted
over sixteen hours. We have no
means of knowing the result, as she
was taken home, some distance in the
country.
Case Z. A lady in the country took
gas and could not be aroused. She
fingered in this way for a few days,
and died.
The correspondent does not assert
that the gas has killed any one, but
the facts as. stated above show some
thing to be wrong" Thousands of
persons may have taken the gas and
suffered no inconvenience, but the
cases cited by the correspondent of the
Dental Register are sufficient to show
that there was something wrong
about the gas or its administration,
and should deter Others from its use.
The great danger appears to be in i'm
pure gas, and the improper admins
tration Of that that is pure. The Den
tai Register says editorially, that nj
trous oxyd, in proper hands, is, in our
present state of knowledge, the proper
aue5thetic for brief, severe opera
tions," and that " the safety of Its use,
as compared with ehloroforna, ether,
etc., is beyond dispute" u man
should undertake to administer it Qn-
less he fully understands its proper
ties, and no one should take it from
any other person, and then only in an
extreme case.

URCle Sam and the Tennessee Rail.
roads.


General Butler, in his report from
the Committee on Judiciary, on the
subject of the Indebtedness of certain
Southern railroads, says most of them
have fully paid all claims. Those most
largely indebted, and against which
suits are now pending, are the East
Tennessee and Virginia railroad,
1866, 35l Nashville and Chattanooga,
S3lO,S39; Nashville and Northwestern,
$47,l04. These roads express a desire
for an equitable settlement without
litigation, and ask the Secretary of
War, or some competent tribunal, be
empowered to compromise and settle
the controversy by common consent;
and the suits are proposed to be aban-
doned. The bill reported is in accord
ance with this recommendation.

IF the administration Of Grant were
not disposed to court alliances with
crowned heads of Europe; if the vul-
gar ~plebeian, suddenly elevated, did
not prefer the incense of hatbery ten.
dered him by kings to the true inter
ests of the country, whose destinies are
intrusted to his hands; if Grant
could forget himself and his own sell
ish ambitions and unworthy purposes,
and pursue the honor and prosperity
of America, Spain would lever have
dared to garrOte American citizens in
cold blood in Havana, and the patri-
OF GoicOUria would surely have been
saved. Grant has very strange con-
ceptions of his duties and position as
President, and infinitely more crude
are his apprehensiOns Of the proper
relations of this and European Gov
ernments. In Europe the smaller
States are each under the guardian
ship of one or the other of the great
powers At our very doors, at the
sentry post of the commerce of the
Gull, a European power dares to out
rage all laws, human and divine, and
deties the asserted policy Of the Fede-
raj Government, which was deemed
traditional and thoroughly fastened
upon our system of international
comfy and intercourse. Grant is
at heart a m~Onarchist, as are
the greater number of shallow-pated
eteres of West Point. He prefers, as
he has plainly confessed, by suffering
Spanish gunboats TO be constructed in
American waters to be used by Spain
against republican freedom in Cuba
he prefers a monarchy to a republic.
In dealing with Fenians the weak
President, trucking to a crowned
head, has evinced the same spirit
wholly unworthy of a free people,
and of the position of the United
States as related to other American
Governments. He issues in advance
Of the disastrous event, which he
had already anticipated, a prOcla-
nation in which he tells Ca
nadians that the Fenians "fOrfeit all
right to the protection of this govern
ment or to its interference in their
behalf to rescue them from the eonse-
quence of their acts" The Ameri-
can people will not justify General
Grant in this heartless attitude. In
the first place, the American COnsti-
tuition knows no distinction between
its citizens, whether of native or of
foreign birth. 1t is a detestable heresy
against American patronism to say
that a citizen, because of an overt act
against a neighbOr, fOrfeits that natu-
raj yearning which a parental Gov
eminent always feels for her children.
Wakes Spirit, a Radical paper, says:
sit will be well for General Grant, if
the Canadians, governed by a wiser
spirit than his own, do not take him
his word, and hang any Of the Fe-
man prisoners. Such an event would
etiectually dispose of him from among
the list Of Presidential candidates (if
such possibility be not out of thought
already, and would, with equal GER

IT is a m~Ournful evidence Of the de
pravity Of the times to contrast the
present with the Congress of twenty
years ago. If constituencies are never
better than their Representatives, il
teaches a sad lesson. We formerly
had no absolutely shameless rogues in
Congress, and now we have them By
the dozen in the interest of the Puri-
tan reform and higher law party. On
the 18th, John COvOde, undertaking TO
defend himself, ventured to SANDER
his colleague, Judge Woodward, who at
once branded him in the forehead
with the letter r. after the following
fashion:
Mr.. Woodward-Mr. Speaker, when 1
select my biogrspher he must bs a
man Of truth, and therefore my colleague
has no chancs TO become my biOgrapher.
When / debate on this floor 1 debate with
gentlemen sent here by Constituencies. /
never debate with a nan who stole his
seat here from an honest man for the pur-
pose of selling cadetships.
On this the Age remarks that the
appointment TO the Naval School for
the three western counties which form
COvode's District, was sold in the
Philadelphia market. That could not
be denied; but Covode told the COM
mittee that an eminent Radical poll
ticisn and ofice-hOlder pocketed the
price. We would not believe more
than half Of that story. 1t was al
lowed, however, to screen Covode.
He was not expelled; nor was Butler,
of Tennessee who said he got all the
bride, bat spent it freely for the good
Of the party! The Radicals, however.
are not anxious to hear more about
this, just as their brother, White
more, is coming back to them so they
smother the voice Of Covode. Indeed. |
his presence in the House Is itself a
fraud. He was never elected to it.
Governor Geary refused to proclaim
him; Clerk Mcpherson refused to but
his name on the roll of members; but
a partisan Election Committee gave
him a seat, as they did to every ras-
cally carpet-bagger who could as
little claim as Covode, to be the lawful
choice o any constituency

Avery unusual case Is reported from
Bloomfield, Pa. A little girl wa
taken with bleeding at the nose, and
as il continued for some time a doctor
vas called in. Not experimenting
cause for alarm, he was about to as
sure the mother that the hemorrhage
would soon be stopped, when she
called his attention to dark red spots
on the chest and limbs of the child.
He at once saw that it was a case of
that rare disease known as purpura,
and administered medicine promptly,
buRbf no avail other than to partially
stop the bleeding for d short time. Il
appears that the blood sought to es-
cane from its natural channels
throughout her whole system, and
actually oozed out at one Of her eyes.
Hemorrhage from the stomach was
frequent, and purple spots showed
themselves under the skin On all
parts of the body. Medical skill
awaited not and the child died after
two days illness.

Revolutions in Central and South
America.

More revolutions or revolutionary
movements are reported from Contra
and South America. In Costa Rica 6
movement Of that kind, about the
first of May, resulted in the overthrow
of the Government of Jimenez. A
company of young men, commanded
by Colonel Towns Guardia, after 8
lively skirmiSh, succeeded in securing
possession of two barracks of the city.
The commandant of the barracks and
many other officers and soldiers were
slain. The c~onspiratOrS then invaded
the house of the Governor and took
him prisoner. A body of four hun
bred men having come to his assist
ance, they threatened TO kill JimeneZ
if they were attacked. Whereupon
he agreed to resign, and DR.. Bruno
CarranZa was named President or
Governor In his stead. In cOnse-
quence of this revolution, disturbances
began to take place in Honduras and
Salvador. The Government of the
former had many influential persons
arrested, and expelled fifty citizens of
Nicaraguan origin. General Busta-
mente, in the fear Of arrest, fled from
Salvador.
From the Southern part of South
America We have late word of Orelie
Antoine the First, the French adven-
tUrer, 10 whom we have before de-
voted a paragraph. We a now in
form our readers that this European
King of the A~raucanians was once a
practicing lawyer in France. We be-
lieve his clients were few. At any
rate, he did not like the profession,
and chose rather to be an emperor
than a pettifogger. Probably theevil
of Louis Napoleon inspired
him with a certain contempt for laws
not made by himself. When last
heard Of he was busily engaged organ
lZing his army to resist an attack of
Gillian forces. Many Europeans,
cOUntrymen of his own, had
arrived at his court, or rather his
headquarters; they had been kindly
'eceived, and promised employments
more or less lucrative. The rainy
easOn then prevailing rendered mill
airy operations impossible. In due
ime we may expect to hear more of
)rele Antoine.
